3.2 Sanitary Sewer
The project requires a Down Stream Sewer Capacity analysis (DSCA) to conform with
NYSDEC regulations considering proposed sanitary flows are intended to convey a flow
greater than 2,500 gallons per day.

In accordance with Erie County policy a downstream, dry weather sanitary capacity analysis
is included. The monitoring report is included in the appendices.

Based on the flow depth measurements recorded the following conclusions are reached:

  •  At no time did the flow depth exceed pipe diameter at any of the downstream
  monitoring points during the wet weather events monitored.
  •  One time during the monitoring period the depth of flow exceeded the diameter of
  the pipe.

3.3 DSCA Summary
Erie County provided three (3) nodes, described below:

  •  Flow Monitoring Period: August 13, 2024, to September 18, 2024
  •  Dry Week Days Monitored: Aug 13-15, Aug 20-23, Aug 26-30, Sept 2-5, Sept 10-13,
  and Sept 16-18.
  •  Dry Weekend Days Monitored: Aug 24-25, Sept 8, and Sept 14-15.
Nodes (manholes):
  • Node 1 MH BAA8A – 48” RCP (Matthews Cemetery NW Corner)
  • Node 2 MH BAA9A – 60” RCP (Casimer Street)
  • Node 3 MH BAAA8 – 66” RCP (8 Cable Street)

Design Parameters:
Hydraulic Loading rates per NYS Design Standards for Intermediate Wastewater Treatment
Systems, March 5, 2014. Calculations included below:

Apartments – Bedroom Units = 110 gpd/unit
Office Space= 15 gpd / employee

Average Daily Design Flow:
One Bdrm Units:(24 units) x (1 bdrm/unit)x 110gpd/bdrm=2,640 gpd
Two Bdrm Units:(29 units) x (2 bdrm/unit)x110gpd/bdrm=6,380 gpd
