Spotlight: Syracuse - Onondaga County
Save the Rain is a comprehensive stormwater management program designed to reduce CSO events impacting the health of Onondaga Lake and its tributaries using both conventional "gray" and green infrastructure technologies. Onondaga County is working in close partnership with the City of Syracuse to implement dozens of green infrastructure projects and two significant stormwater storage projects to comply with a federal order to clean up Onondaga Lake. Over the past year, Onondaga County constructed more than fifty distinct green infrastructure projects in an effort to comply with the newly amended ACJ and to demonstrate to the residents of Onondaga County the multiple benefits of green infrastructure.
