6 1-1 SECTION DESCRIPTION OF SWEM SIMULATIONS The three SWEM simulations recently completed include: an alternate baseline with POTWs at design/permit flow loadings, revised planned improvements including no net increase in other sources, and revised sub-regional plans for highest dissolved oxygen. The input assumptions for each of these are described below. 1.1 SWEM ALTERNATE BASELINE WITH DESIGN/PERMIT POTW FLOWS SIMULATION Since Harbor water quality would be expected to worsen in the future if population growth were to occur, a SWEM simulation was necessary for planning purposes which includes population growth. Population growth was modeled as a sensitivity calculation by allowing POTWs to increase to permit/design flows with existing effluent concentrations. While there is some controversy as to whether or not population growth could occur in an already densely populated watershed and while it is recognized that it is unlikely that current POTW performance for effluent concentrations could be maintained at higher permit/design flows, the SWEM simulation provides information on Harbor dissolved oxygen for a higher than current nitrogen and carbon POTW loading condition. 1.2 SWEM REVISED PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS WITH NO NET INCREASE IN OTHER SOURCES SIMULATION Planned Improvements include actions that are currently legally required or anticipated to be required but have not yet been fully implemented or captured in the baseline condition. Specifically, the Planned Improvements already simulated with SWEM and described in other HEP documents include: Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR or equivalent) related reductions to direct atmospheric deposition, overland runoff, and tributary headwaters; Upper Passaic River phosphorus TMDL with current nitrogen loadings; North Bergen POTW effluent relocation to PVSC; updated Owl s Head WWTP load; Jamaica Bay Consent Order; and Long Island Sound Nitrogen TMDL (including the Peconic Estuary TMDL). The implicit assumption in the Planned Improvements conditions is no net increase in loads prior to additional improvements/ load reductions. Three refinements have since been quantified and were incorporated into a revised Planned Improvements SWEM simulation. These are: the phosphorus TMDL on the Upper Raritan River with current nitrogen loadings; reductions to stormwater loadings from the MS4 programs in New York and New Jersey; and in-progress CSO reductions in New York. 6

7 1-2 The Upper Raritan River phosphorus TMDL with current nitrogen loadings includes a significant loading reduction in BOD5 at the Fieldville Dam as compared to the previously measured/modeled loading for the Harbor. For this reason, it is expected that the SWEM Planned Improvements simulation will show a dramatic improvement in Raritan River dissolved oxygen immediately downstream of the Dam. It is important to continue coordination with Upper Raritan River phosphorus TMDL results to ensure that the best available information is being passed to the Harbor TMDL planning effort. The information available now from the Upper Raritan phosphorus TMDL effort suggests that current and post-tmdl concentrations of ubod on the Upper Raritan River are/will be 1.21 to 1.41 mg/l. Previous concentrations specified in SWEM for CBOD5 at Fieldville Dam ranged between 1.6 and 2.3 mg/l integer measurements of CBOD5 by NJHDG for head-of-tide on the Raritan range between <2 and 8 mg/l. There appears to be some contradiction in BOD concentrations above Fieldville Dam that should be resolved because of the importance of the Fieldville Dam load to the River below the Dam. Coordination with NJDEP will continue with regard to final Upper Raritan River phosphorus TMDL model outputs and with NJHDG regarding the latest measurements. For consistency with the Raritan TMDL handling, the revised Planned Improvements simulation holds nitrogen loadings in the Upper Passaic River phosphorus TMDL at current levels. Estimates of MS4 reductions of 5% for N and 10% for C were not available when initial scenario runs were made. These were included in the recently completed runs. In-progress CSO reductions in New York City resulting from Long Term Control Planning, have been preliminarily quantified for volume reductions only. The volume reductions were used to develop reductions to nitrogen and carbon for Planned Improvements SWEM simulation purposes. These volume reductions are: 30% in the East River, 5% in the Hudson River, and 6% in the Upper Bay. 1.3 SWEM REVISED SUB-REGIONAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR HIGHEST ATTAINABLE DISSOLVED OXYGEN SIMULATION This simulation repeats the revised planned improvements simulation and also includes improvements in each sub-region of the Harbor previously selected for purposes of attaining highest dissolved oxygen. Based on results of a previous SWEM simulation (May 2009) and EPA and States reviews, only those reduction actions producing benefits were retained in this simulation. The reductions, beyond planned improvements, included in the revised sub-regional improvements simulation by sub-region are listed in Table 1. Definitions of LOT for STP, CSO, and SW effluent concentrations were developed previously and have been repeated again in this document. Refer to Tables 2 and 3. 7

8 2-1 SECTION SWEM SIMULATION RESULTS SWEM results of each of the three simulations completed are presented in a number of different formats. Results are described below in terms of the results presentation format. Results are discussed by each sub-region. 2.1 DAYS OF NON-ATTAINMENT RESULTS FOR SWEM SIMULATIONS SWEM results for each computational grid cell have been compared to current standards and NYS chronic and acute dissolved oxygen standards and days of nonattainment at the computational grid cell level have been tracked. The days of nonattainment results are presented on color maps in Attachments 1 and 2 for a number of different simulations including: baseline, alternate baseline with POTWs at permit/design flows, revised planned improvements, revised sub-regional plans for highest attainable dissolved oxygen, and pastoral. In addition, days of non-attainment are tabulated for each grid cell for a range of state and federal standards and criteria for the various simulations in Attachment 3. Additional reporting on the timing and duration of non-attainment of the NYS chronic and acute standards are included in Attachment 4. The days of non-attainment results are also presented on a volume weighted basis by sub-region in a bar chart format in Attachments 5 and LONG ISLAND SOUND LIVING MARINE RESOURCES BASED METRICS RESULTS FOR SWEM SIMULATIONS Two living marine resources based metrics developed for Long Island Sound, mortality volume days and biomass reduction volume days, were applied to the SWEM results for the various Harbor simulations. The metrics include the multiplication of a mortality or biomass reduction factor specific to a dissolved oxygen concentration interval by the volume of water and time for which dissolved oxygen falls within the interval. The metrics were applied to Harbor sub-regions and are reported on that basis in Attachments 7 and 8. The figures in Attachments 7 and 8 are setup for direct comparison to those in Attachments 5 and 6. The goal is to demonstrate that efforts toward highest standards attainment and dissolved oxygen levels would also be expected to benefit living marine resources. 8

9 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS BY SUB-REGION The completion of three new SWEM simulations has advanced the level of information available for sub-regional dissolved oxygen management planning and TMDL development. The status of results is considered for each sub-region Hackensack River Sub-Region The Hackensack River sub-region includes waters designated as SE1, SE2, and SE3 as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the SE1, SE2, and SE3 designations would be attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include LOT carbon and nitrogen reductions for BCUA and SMUA and CSOs and SW along with a variety of actions included in the sub-regional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. The SE1 waters would not attain the SE1 standard, but would attain the SE3 standard as well as 24-hr average dissolved oxygen greater than 2.3 mg/l, meeting the federal criterion for juvenile and adult survival but not the NY chronic criterion. The SE2 waters would not attain the SE2 standard and would not attain the NY chronic standard either under the plan. The SE2 water would attain 24-hr average and instantaneous dissolved oxygen greater than 0.3 mg/l under the plan. The SE3 waters would attain the SE3 standard as well as the tougher NY chronic standard under the plan Passaic River and Newark Bay Sub-Region The Passaic River and Newark Bay sub-region includes waters designated as FW2- NT/SE2 and SE3 as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the FW2-NT/SE2 and SE3 designations would be attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include LOT carbon and nitrogen reductions for CSOs and SW along with a variety of actions included in the sub-regional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. The FW2-NT/SE2 waters would fully attain the FW2-NT/SE2 and NY chronic standards both for the attainable plan and for revised planned improvements. The SE3 waters would come within less than a day of nonattainment for a few grid cell locations of fully meeting the SE3 standard with the attainable plan. Further, the NY chronic standard would be fully achieved for the majority of locations within the SE3 waters with the attainable plan. 9

10 Raritan River and Raritan Bay Sub-Region The Raritan River sub-region includes waters designated as FW2-NT and SE1 as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the FW2-NT and SE1 designations would be attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include LOT carbon and nitrogen reductions for CSOs and SW and LOT nitrogen reductions for MCUA along with a variety of actions included in the sub-regional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. The FW2-NT waters would fully attain the FW2-NT and NY chronic standards both for the attainable plan and for revised planned improvements. The SE1 waters would come within less than six days of non-attainment for six grid cell locations of fully meeting the SE1 standard with the attainable plan. Further, the NY chronic standard would be fully achieved within the SE1 waters with the attainable plan. The Raritan Bay sub-region includes SE1, I, SA, and SB waters as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the FW2-NT and SE1 designations would be close to fully attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include LOT carbon and nitrogen reductions for CSOs and SW and LOT nitrogen reductions for MCUA along with a variety of actions included in the subregional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. With the attainable plan, the NY I waters would achieve the NY acute and SD standards. In addition the NY I waters would meet the NY chronic standards at a number of locations and would be borderline for compliance with the I standard with the proposed attainable plan. With the attainable plan, the NY SA and SB waters would meet the NY chronic standards. With the attainable plan, the SE1 waters would not meet the SE1 standards but would meet the NY chronic standard with few isolated exceptions Arthur Kill Sub-Region The Arthur Kill sub-region includes waters designated as SD/SE3 and I/SE2 as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the SD/SE3 and I/SE2 designations would be attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include LOT nitrogen reductions for LRSA, JMEU, and RSA and LOT carbon and nitrogen reductions for CSO and SW along with a variety of 10

11 2-4 actions included in the sub-regional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. The SD/SE3 and I/SE2 waters would not meet the enforceable standards under the highest attainable plan. TheI/SE2 waters with the plan would come close, less than a day of nonattainment, to meeting the less stringent SD/SE3 standards. The SD/SE3 waters would attain 24-hr average dissolved oxygen greater than 2 mg/l and instantaneous dissolved oxygen greater than 1.6 mg/l with the plan. The I/SE2 waters would achieve 24-hr average dissolved oxygen greater than 3.5 mg/l and instantaneous dissolved oxygen greater than 2.3 mg/l under the plan Hudson River and Upper Bay Sub-Region The Hudson River sub-region includes waters designated as SE1, SE2, SB and I as described in the May 2009 report. While not attained under current conditions, the dissolved oxygen standards associated with the SE1, SE2, SB and I designations would be attained with pastoral loading conditions. (see Attachments 2 and 3) Short of a pastoral condition, an attainable plan has been developed. The attainable plan is presented in Table 1. Elements of the attainable plan include low level nitrogen reductions for PVSC, EMUA, NBMUA, Hoboken (NHSA- Adams Street), West New York (NHSA-River Road), Yonkers, North River, Owls Head along with a variety of actions included in the subregional plans of other areas and in planned improvements. With the attainable plan, the waters designated as SE1, SE2, SB and I in the Hudson River would all meet the current standards associated with those water as well as the NY chronic standard. The SB waters would also meet the NY chronic standard with revised Planned Improvements only. The Upper Bay sub-region includes waters designated as SE2 and I. With the attainable plan the NY waters of the Upper Bay would meet the I standard as well as the NY chronic standard with one grid cell as an exception. With the attainable plan, the NJ waters of the Upper Bay would meet the SE2 standard with the exception of four grid cells near Robbins Reef. 11
