In nature, the innate connection between the sun, sea and wind existed long before man. Using today’s technologies, we are re-connecting these elements to create resilient water and energy solutions. By coupling the power of sunlight and wind, we can harness sustainable energy to provide new water supplies to water scarce areas. Advances in desalination technology not only convert sea water into freshwater, but make it an affordable reality.

Our global desalination and sustainability experts help communities develop solutions to produce, manage and conserve water supplies. The mission is simple – to bring new water for a thirsty world.

A Welcome Message from the President

On behalf of the New York Water Environment Association and its Board of Directors, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the 88th Annual Meeting in New York City! Our Annual Meeting continues to be the largest Technical Conference and Exhibition in New York State drawing attendees and

exhibitors from all over the Northeast and the country. The Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square provides an ideal space to network, attend technical sessions and wander the expansive exhibit hall with easy access to all that the Big Apple has to offer in sightseeing, theaters, music, the arts and restaurants.

This year’s program illustrates the meeting theme of the Year of the Operator – celebrating a year-long recognition of the committed and dedicated men and women who work around the clock to protect public health and the environment. Monday’s Opening General Session will feature an insightful Operator of the Future Panel discussion where you’ll hear firsthand from operators on the challenges and opportunities in water resource recovery as well as the findings from Operator of the Future Task Force. The panel discussion will continue during the entirety of Session 4 on Monday afternoon. Please join me in congratulating the operators, representing each of our seven chapters, who were awarded NYWEA’s first-ever Operator Scholarship that made their attendance at this Annual Meeting possible.

We are truly fortunate to have an all-star line-up of engaging speakers! Jenny Hartfelder, WEF President–Elect will join me in opening remarks and share an update on what is happening at WEF. Rep. Paul Tonko, who has been a stalwart advocate for water infrastructure and past Nelson Rockefeller Award recipient, will provide our Keynote Address. Representative Tonko understands firsthand the challenges we face in the water industry. I am so pleased that Sabrina Ty, President of NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation and Jim Tierney, Assistant Commissioner of Water Resources from NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, will speak on behalf of their respective state agencies.

Following the Opening Session, we will meet at 11:45 on the 5th floor for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the Exhibit Hall that will be home to over 180 exhibitors through Tuesday. I invite you to wander the exhibit hall and engage with exhibitors and learn about the latest in cutting-edge technology and services available in the water industry today. Don’t miss the Exhibitors Reception on Monday afternoon for a lively networking opportunity. We are so grateful to the exhibitors, program sponsors and advertisers whose support is vital to NYWEA and the success of this Annual Meeting!

From now through Wednesday, you’ll have over 26 technical sessions to choose from covering relevant topics such as disinfection, ethics, flood prevention, energy, resiliency, and green infrastructure. Take this opportunity to earn PDHs or Operator Credits and learn about something that inspires you! I encourage everyone to “go green” and install the Guidebook app and download the entire meeting program. See the program cover for the QR code.

Please refer to the program for a schedule of special events, committee meetings, Lifestyles program, receptions, coffee breaks, etc. I look forward to Wednesday’s Awards Luncheon where we’ll honor the well-deserving recipients.

My personal thanks to Patricia Cerro-Reehil, Maggie Hoose, Maureen Kozol, Tanya May Jennings and Theresa Baker for all they’ve done day-in and day-out in preparing for this Annual Meeting. I would also like to thank the Program Committee including Lauren Livermore, Jeff Butler and all the committee members for developing a relevant and diverse technical program. And finally, I’d like to thank the Conference Management Committee including Dave Barnes, Joyette Tyler, Darlene Ciffuetelli, Bill Grandner, John Ruggerio, Larry Brincat, Joe Massaro and Bill Nylic for their behind-the-scenes planning to make this annual meeting a seamless and successful event for all attendees!

I’m confident that your attendance at NYWEA’s 88th Annual Meeting will be rewarding, and that you will leave this meeting with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to the important work you do each and every day! Thanks for taking the time to attend!

Sincerely,

Michael J. Garland, P.E.NYWEA President

Contact Hours: 2.0 PDH 2.0 Wastewater 0.5 Water+

Moderators Peter Radosta, Koester Associates; Mark Greene, O’Brien & Gere1:30 pm The Use of BMP Testing to Evaluate Co-Digestion Substrates for Revenue Generation

Shawn Veltman, H&V Consulting LLC The co-digestion of high strength organic wastes (HSW) in biosolids digesters is becoming increasingly popular as wastewater treatment facility owners seek creative ways to leverage existing or build new digestion capacity to increase operating revenues. This presentation will highlight the fundamentals of the Biochemical Methane 1��*��U(1��!��&��&��&�� with the introduction of high strength waste to biosolids digesters.

2:00 pm Feasibility of Integrated Dairy and College Waste Management and Energy Production: Anaerobic Digestion at a College Venessa Brabant, Silvia Marpicati, Robert Ostapczuk, ARCADIS

College campuses can integrate dairy farm waste and food waste to utilize anaerobic digestion as an effective waste management and energy production strategy. Co-digesting high strength food waste and dairy manure can promote unique partnerships between universities, farms, and food production facilities. The design of a stand-alone high strength waste anaerobic digester presents unique challenges. This presentation documents the feasibility and preliminary design of a high strength waste anaerobic digester facility at two universities.

2:30 pm Coffee Break in Exhibit Hall

3:30 pm The Path to Energy Neutrality – Ithaca Area WWTP Tim Carpenter, GHD Consulting Services, Inc.; Dan Ramer, Ithaca Area WWTP

The Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has a goal of energy neutrality and has completed a series �� X��%��&�� %��U�� exceeded 5.0 million cubic feet in several months, and electrical generation is consistently above 150,000 kWh per month. In one recent month the WWTP produced more electrical energy than it consumed, which is the long term goal of the plant.

10:30 am Does Your Anaerobic Digester Have Capacity for Co-Digestion Mark Greene, O’Brien & Gere

Anaerobic digesters in publicly-owned treatment works are a key tool in the quest for energy-neutral water resource recovery (aka, wastewater treatment). They are excellent candidates for co-digesting treatment residuals (sludge) with other degradable waste sources. The strengths of anaerobic digestion include: a green/sustainable process, small carbon footprint, potential for tipping fee collection, and proven technology. The weaknesses of anaerobic digestion include: use of a biological process, and the need for management of residual sludge/digestate for disposal.

Sidney Lok – Major Scholarship Recipient

Sidney, a freshman at Cornell University, works with an engineering team, AguaClara. AguaClara is dedicated to

creating high-reliability, low cost solutions to global water problems. Their foam filter is a relatively new tech-

nology targeting smaller villages which cannot house a full-scale AguaClara plan. Along with other AguaClara

subteams at Cornell, the foam filter cleaning team is working towards the goal to make clean drinking water

more easily accessible in other countries – in particular, they are looking for new ways to improve the cleaning

efficiency of foam in order to increase the life span and filtration efficiency of foam filters.

Be A Leader & Help NYWEA’s Scholarship Program GrowMatching Fund Pledge Form

Your contribution will help reinforce the foundation of the existing Scholarship Program. This is the third phase of the program. Your pledge will be used dollar for dollar to solicit matching donations from mem-bers that have not contributed and will make their contributions go further. This program is targeted to get as many new members as possible, so the matching funds will be used only to match donations from new contributors. Also, the amount is limited to $20/year for five years to spread the matching funds as far as possible. Matching fund contributors will be recognized uniquely on the web-site and in Clear Waters magazine.

We are looking for contributors to pledge at the $2,500 to $5,000 level – that is $500 to $1,000 per year for five years to establish the matching fund.

o Yes! I would like to lead the way and pledge $ ________ .Signature _________________________________________________________ Date __________________________

Phase III – Matching Fund Program

It is essential that we keep the scholarship fund momentum growing to demonstrate to our newer members and future members our commitment to the water environment cause, not just for ourselves but for our children and generations of children to come. This is truly a program of which each NYWEA

member can be proud. Remember, the success of our students is our success as well!

Make a donation or become a matching fund contributor and make a difference for a student pursuing an environmental degree. Phases I and II raised significant funds for the scholarship program, the goal of

Phase III is to get as many of our members to be donors. We are looking for donations from members who have not previously given – become part of this program and your donation will be matched and provide double the benefit!

If you would like to make a pledge or donation to this important program, contact Patricia Cerro-Reehil at (315) 422-7811.

Please Help Us Keep the Momentum

Going In 2016 and

Beyond!
