Provided strategic support to the Bureau of Environmental Planning and Assessment (BEPA) and the Office of Green Infrastructure (OGI) in various tasks pertinent to GI planning and implementation. Specifically, the calculation of managed impervious areas based on projects included in the web-based GI projects database, determination of feasible levels of GI penetration in various WWTP service areas and prioritization of subwatersheds where OGI can focus the design efforts on, early evaluation of asset management tools that led to the visioning for PTAMS, modeling of retention and detention GI practices in InfoWorks CS to evaluate the performance of GI penetration rates on a citywide basis, performance evaluation of GI at site and neighborhood scales, provision of guidance on research and development needs, and support on public outreach through steering committee initiatives.

Under the Stormwater Management Plan-Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (SWMP-MS4) Agreement, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation issued a MS4 permit to the City of New York (NYC). This permit requires City-owned facilities within MS4 and direct drainage areas to be evaluated on the effectiveness of existing stormwater control measures (SCMs) and additional SCMs that should be implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants into the City’s waterways.

One of our roles in the project is structuring, managing and updating the database, which contains information provided by the agencies and data collected from field assessments for each facility. We have identified gaps in the database necessary for project coordination and efficiency. Our team also conducts the field assessments, where we evaluate the facility’s operations with a focus on the potential for pollutant runoff. We assess the drainage patterns, material and waste storage areas, and existing and potential SCMs. We produce reports for each facility that scores the facility based on the quantity and frequency of use of the materials found onsite. We also provide a facility action plan, which details action items to improve the effectiveness of the facility’s SCMs and implement new SCMs ranging general housekeeping to structural improvements.

The Perth Amboy Revitalization Agency (PARA) is planning a comprehensive revitalization of a 6-acre property running along 2^nd Street and ending at the Raritan River, converting an undeveloped lot into a thriving community park. Along with amenities such as a spray park, skate park, amphitheater, and a coastal meadow, the park will also feature an array of green infrastructure installations designed to manage stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces, and divert all runoff away from the combined sewer system during a 10-year storm.

Boomi was responsible for the design of a master drainage plan as well as a water and sewer service plan. In collaboration with the project landscape architect and remediation consultant, we provided expert advice on park grading, the efficient location of water and sewer service connections, and the placement of green infrastructure elements such as bioswales, infiltration trenches, and vegetated overflow channels. Our work will result in the creation of a modern park that will provide safer waterfront access, multiple recreation amenities for the local community, as well as much-needed relief for the combined sewer system.
