Many thanks to our
conference sponsors:
2014 marks our 16th annual sewer conference. Yes,
16 years of hosting this educational two-day event is
quite an accomplishment, but beyond that we should
recognize the progress we have made together on
resolving the wet weather issue.
Just last year, municipalities submitted their feasibility studies to local regulatory agencies and ALCOSAN
submitted its regional Wet Weather Plan (WWP) to
the EPA. And in June, more than 200 local municipal,
ALCOSAN and regulatory agency representatives attended an EPA municipal
update meeting hosted by 3RWW. EPA presented the need for a collaborative
approach to implementing the regional wet weather plan.
Recognizing that the current WWP is unaffordable for our region, the EPA is
providing us an opportunity to develop an alternative approach that will give
the region more time and flexibility to achieve better environmental results at a
lower overall cost. With that said, EPA expects significant progress over the next
six years in sewer system regionalization, setting flow limits and developing flow
reduction (I/I and GSI) approaches, so timing is critical. We need to capitalize
on this opporutnity now.
We planned this year’s conference with these goals in mind. We feel confident
you will find valuable insight from our myriad of experienced speakers as well as
from our more than 70 exhibitors.

Welcome: John Schombert
Colleen Hughes & Timothy Prevost  ALCOSAN
ALCOSAN’s Wet Weather Plan, submitted in 2013,
identified an unaffordable $3.6 billion need for sewer infrastructure upgrades to bring the Pittsburgh region into
compliance with the Clean Water Act. Since then ALCOSAN has been evaluating opportunities for integrating
green infrastructure and inflow and infiltration reduction
measures into the plan; strategizing with local leadership
to regionalize inter-municipal trunk sewers; and discussing a Consent Decree modification with the regulatory
agencies. This presentation will provide an update on
these activities.
9:00-9:30 a.m.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Improving Water Quality through
Greater Regionalization
Dennis Yablonsky  Allegheny Conference on
Community Development
The Allegheny Conference on
Community Development was
created 70 years ago to prepare Pittsburgh for the future
by focusing on improving air
and water quality, addressing
flood control and supporting
urban redevelopment priorities.
Today, it remains committed to
water quality in the region as
vital to our quality of life and
economy. As the ALCOSAN service area moves closer to
implementing a revised Wet Weather Plan, it’s clear that
how we manage wastewater and stormwater in the future
of necessity will be different. Regulatory agencies, public
officials, nonprofits and the private sector all expect that
we will have greater regionalization of our water management infrastructure, changes in governance and a growing
commitment to source reduction through green infrastructure and other ways. While we face challenges, we have
the opportunity to develop a 21st century approach to
one of our region’s greatest assets and competitive
advantages – water.
Dr. Colleen Hughes, a Senior Vice President with CDM
Smith, has more than 20 years’ experience in urban water
resource management, stormwater management, and regulatory compliance. Since 2006, she has served as ALCOSAN’s

Urban development has impacted the quality of local
streams and rivers. Accelerated runoff due to increased
impervious coverage associated with development can
cause stream bank erosion and degradation, higher
flash flood flows, increased pollutant loads delivered
to our waterways, increases in combined sewer overflows and degradation of habitat quality of streams and
wetlands. This session will highlight a watershed-based
approach used in Baltimore to assess and implement
water quality and quantity retrofits aimed at reducing
the impacts associated with urban development.

New demands for public communication are being created
by wet weather challenges and consent decree driven investments. The reasons to communicate are compelling – the
public often doesn’t see the problem or the investment – but
many utilities struggle with taking control of the narrative
being conveyed by the media, activists, elected officials, and
ratepayers. This session will offer real-world lessons learned
from wet weather programs across the country. Participants
will leave the session with practical communication tips that
can immediately be implemented and shared with utility
leadership and other staff.

Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) problems are prevalent in
every municipality’s sewer collection system. There is no
collection system that can completely locate and get rid
of I&I sources and there is no removal program that can
achieve a 100% reduction, but it is important to locate a
source, remove it and finally prove that it was removed.
During this session, attendees will learn how a micromonitoring program works, and hear about key findings from
several micromonitoring projects and key lessons learned,
particularly how to determine when micromonitoring is
most effective.
