Onondaga Lake, located near Syracuse, N.Y., has a long history of water quality problems
The older urbanized sections of Syracuse are served by a combined sewer system, whereby storm water is mixed with sanitary sewage before directly discharging into a tributary ofthe lake
Summary
Hassett State University ofNew York College ofEnvironmental Science and Forestry Syracuse,~, 13244. The need for a preliminary non-point source pollution management plan has become evident in the Onondaga Lake Watershed, which includes the City of Syracuse, NY, surrounding suburban areas and rural. Preliminary Urban Non-Point Source Management Plan fannland. The rural contribution ofNon-Point Source (NPS) pollution is being addressed by others. A spatial analysis ofjust the existing urban areas was conducted using the GRASS (Geographical Resources Analysis Support System) Geographic Information System (GIS). The results of this analysis were used to construct a conceptual rainfall/runoff model of the urban watershed using the RUNOFF block of the Stonn Water Management Model (SWMM). A continuous hydrologic simulation was used to compute annual pollutant loads based on published unit area loads from other watersheds
