Long Point Drainage Study Livingston County

NYSDEC Water Quality Improvement Projects - 1- May 2024

I. Executive Summary

Livingston County is planning to construct a new stormwater management facility along Long Point Road to address water quality and quantity concerns. As shown on Figure 1, the project site is located northwest of the intersection of Long Point Road (County Road 32) and West Lake Road (NYS Route 256) in the Town of Geneseo, New York. This project will help protect the water quality of Conesus Lake, protect tributaries of Conesus Lake from erosion, and improve flood conditions for Long Point Park and local residents.

This report summarizes the findings of the feasibility study completed for the Livingston County Water Quality Improvement Projects (WQIP) funding application. This feasibility study includes an analysis of the existing watershed conditions and how its impact on Conesus Lake and residents can be improved.

II. Project Objectives

The current stormwater infrastructure within the drainage area does not adequately control the runoff volume which has led to erosion and flooding. The drainage area is near a 100-year flood plain. The erosion and flooding have increased the amount of sediment and contaminants that are introduced to Conesus Lake. The primary goal of this project is to improve the water quality and reduce the rate of runoff entering the lake.

The proposed improvements are part of a larger project which will include the stabilization of Long Point Road, associated roadside swales/culverts, and address flood related issues within the entire Long Point drainage area. The first phase, which has previously received funding, will include the stabilization of roadside swales and ditches where runoff is starting to undermine Long Point Road and provide additional erosion control measures at the inlet and outlet of existing culverts. The second phase includes the proposed improvements within this report which will address flood related issues. The third and final phase will include repairs to the culvert that crosses beneath West Lake Road.

III. Existing Conditions

The existing drainage area is comprised of agricultural land with row crops, woods, dense brush, and rural residential properties. The existing drainage area is depicted on Figure 2. The point of analysis represents where the proposed improvements would be constructed to treat and detain runoff before it crosses beneath West Lake Road and enters the lake. Given that the culvert crossing West Lake Road outlets into a 100-year flood plain, this area is very susceptible to flooding and frequently overflows onto neighboring residential properties and into Long Point Park. Photographs representative of the drainage area and the outlet into the Lake are included in Appendix A.

Minimal environmental resources are present within the project area. As shown on Figure 3, the project drainage area does not contain any state or federally regulated streams or wetlands.

However, the project area is located within an archeologically sensitive area and daylights

NYSDEC Water Quality Improvement Projects - 2- May 2024 directly into a 100-year flood plain. During the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process, the specific archeologically sensitive resources will be identified, and appropriate mitigation measures and/or procedures will be determined. It is not anticipated that the proposed improvements will have a significant impact to these resources. Additional environmental resource mapping and information can be found in Appendix B.

Existing topography is a site constraint that will need to be considered during the design process.

The slope within the drainage area is relatively steep, however there are certain areas with a moderate slope that would be more suitable for site improvements.

Subsurface conditions are variable throughout the drainage area, however the soil type present at the proposed stormwater management area is Lansing silt loam. Lansing silt loam has a hydrologic soil group rating of B, and a water table/bedrock depth greater than 6.5 feet. Most of the drainage area upstream from the proposed stormwater management facility consists of B/D soils. B/D soils in certain conditions will behave like D rated soils which provide very minimal infiltration creating a larger volume of runoff. In this scenario, the existing flooding and streambank erosion is likely due to the larger volume of runoff that is a result of the poorly infiltrating soils that exist within the drainage area. A summary of the Lansing silt loam properties and other soil types present within the drainage area is below. Subsurface condition information from the USDA Web Soil Survey mapping tool can also be found in Appendix C.

No additional subsurface investigation was performed as part of this study.

IV. Project Description and Concept Plan

To address the existing water quality and quantity concerns, multiple stormwater management infrastructure improvements are recommended within the project drainage area. These

NYSDEC Water Quality Improvement Projects - 3- May 2024 improvements include a new wet extended detention pond, diversion structure, and a detention pond outlet structure. As shown on Figure 4, a wet extended detention pond is proposed northwest of the intersection of West Lake Road and Long Point Road. Stormwater would be conveyed to this pond by constructing a concrete diversion structure within the existing stream bed. The diversion structure would be designed to allow low and average flow storms to bypass the pond and flow to the lake within the existing natural flow path. It would also divert larger flow that exceeds the capacity of the existing flow path into the pond, while providing an overflow for extreme storm events. A portion of the existing flow path surrounding the pond would also be armored with rip-rap to stabilize the ditch and prevent additional erosion.

A wet extended detention pond is recommended to handle the volume of runoff that will be directed to the facility and to maximize the amount of water quality treatment provided. This type of facility is capable of handling drainage areas larger than 25 acres and provides redundant treatment methods using a permanent pool and extended detention. The pond will include a sediment forebay and permanent pool to allow sediment/pollutants to settle and be treated, in addition to providing storage to control the rate that runoff drains to Conesus Lake. An outlet structure would be designed to manage the rate that runoff is released from the facility. Access to the diversion structure and pond would be provided along West Lake Road. This access would be used for maintenance and sediment removal to ensure long term operation of the stormwater management facility.

The recommended improvements are estimated to provide 2.26 acre-ft of water quality volume.

The water quality volume would be provided within the stormwater pond using the permanent pool and extended detention.

The cost of the proposed improvements is estimated to be $671,000.00 as outlined in the table below:

Description

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms.

The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:

Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.

Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.

These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.

Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission.

Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Description

A "restrictive layer" is a nearly continuous layer that has one or more physical, chemical, or thermal properties that significantly impede the movement of water and air through the soil or that restrict roots or otherwise provide an unfavorable root environment. Examples are bedrock, cemented layers, dense layers, and frozen layers.

This theme presents the depth to any type of restrictive layer that is described for each map unit. If more than one type of restrictive layer is described for an individual soil type, the depth to the shallowest one is presented. If no restrictive layer is described in a map unit, it is represented by the "greater than 200" depth class.

This attribute is actually recorded as three separate values in the database. A low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the soil component. A "representative" value indicates the expected value of this attribute for the component. For this soil property, only the representative value is used.

Description

"Water table" refers to a saturated zone in the soil. It occurs during specified months. Estimates of the upper limit are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone, namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month is not considered a water table.
