B
Ok
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
welcome
to
this
cable
cast
public
hearing
of
Pittsburgh
City
Council
for
today,
Wednesday
March,
the
6th
2019
I'm
councilman
Krause
I'll
chair
this
afternoon's
public
hearing
I,
am
joined
by
my
colleague,
Councilwoman
Deborah
gross.
We
have
an
ordinance
before
us,
which
is
bill
1353,
our
invited
guests
are
Andrew
and
Carrie
Smith
of
our
Department
of
City
Planning
and
so
to
open
the
meeting.
Madam
clerk
may
I
have
the
purpose
of
bill
1353
bill.
D
All
right,
yeah
I
will
yes,
okay,
so
Andrew
assistant
director
Department
of
City
Planning,
the
bill
that
this
hearing
is
regarding
is
you
know
an
amendment
to
the
city's
code
to
update
the
stormwater
management
regulations
that
we
have
relative
to
work.
That
was
done
at
the
county
level
relative
to
act,
167,
so
I'm
joined
by
Kara
Smith.
Who
is
the
city's
principal
environmental
planner,
and
she
will
give
a
brief
presentation
just
explaining
the
purpose
of
Act
167?
What
changes
that
means
to
our
mean
to
our
code
and
what
we're
looking
to
do
in
the
future.
E
It's
a
management
act
that
was
created
in
1978,
and
it
stipulated
that
municipalities
within
Pennsylvania
counties
within
Pennsylvania
had
to
adopt
stormwater
management
plans
for
each
watershed,
in
consultation
with
its
municipalities,
and
it
has
to
be
reviewed
at
least
every
five
years,
and
so
it's
been
updated
from
time
to
time
since
78
and
this
state
required
an
update
and
Allegheny
County
undertook
an
update
recently
and
as
a
part
of
that,
we
have
to
enact
an
ordinance
that
meets
the
minimal
requirements
in
the
counties.
Update
counties
also
have
to
submit
their
plans
to
DEP
for
approval.
E
So
that's
why
we're
updating
this
code
right
now?
The
county
hired
consultant,
Michael
baker
international
to
lead
their
process,
which
they
began
around
2012
they've
had
lengthy
public
involvement
process
that
we
had
previous
staff
members
from
City
Planning
and
from
Pittsburgh
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
involved
in
during
that
process.
E
So
we
have
wanted
to
update
our
code
for
sometime
and
we
decided
to
undertake
code
updates
in
two
separate
phases,
primarily
dictated
by
the
counties
requirement
that
the
code
be
updated
in
compliance
with
act
167
within
a
year
of
adoption.
So
we
are
technically
at
that
time
already,
and
so
this
first
phase
of
code
update
is
happening
per
requirements.
It's
the
minimum
requirements
spelled
out
in
the
county's
watershed
plan
and
the
county's
watershed
plan
was
primarily
designed
for
rural
and
suburban
land
uses,
which
much
of
the
county
is.
E
However,
we
realized
that
in
the
city
we
have
different
situation
more
urban,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
working
with
PWSA.
Do
you
undertake
a
second
code
update
phase
and
with
that
we'll
be
doing
greater
analysis,
more
Pittsburgh,
specific,
more
detailed,
more
public
engagement
and
that
will
be
coming
up
next,
but
this
first
phase
of
the
code
update
for
act.
167
specifically,
we've
worked
interdepartmental
II
with
permits
licensing
and
inspections
and
PWSA
and
our
legal
staff.
E
That's
separate
from
publicly
funded
projects
which
already
have
the
requirement
for
the
first
inch
and
a
half
to
be
ministry
in
green
infrastructure,
and
the
other
big
change
is
that
no
development
is
permitted
within
a
35
foot
stream
buffer.
So
that's
not
rivers.
This
is
streams
only
and
primarily
here,
that
is
for
a
sawmill
run.
E
Given
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
a
more
detailed
approach
and
update
coming
up
where
the
city
code
was
already
stricter
than
the
county
requirements,
such
as
for
the
the
threshold
limits
for
triggering
a
stormwater
management
plan
review,
we
left
those
stricter
requirements,
so
we
pulled
existing
stormwater
management
code
out
of
title
9
and
title
10,
sorry,
title
10
the
building
code
and
put
it
into
a
new
title,
title
13
and
we
merged
the
Act
167
the
county's
model
ordinance
with
some
of
our
old
text.
So
it's
all
in
title
13.
E
Now,
mostly,
there
is
some
real
event
text
left
in
the
zoning
code
as
it
applies
to
the
thresholds
required
for
stormwater
management
plan
review.
But
we're
gonna
take
a
look
at
that
again
in
phase
2
and
right
now,
there's
no
changes
being
made
to
the
actual
review
process
itself
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
phase
2.
To
give
you
an
idea
of
what's
coming
up.
This
is
what
we've
preliminary
discussed
with
PWSA
as
some
of
our
bigger
goals.
We're
looking
at
other
cities
with
similar
geographies
to
Pittsburgh.
E
E
So
some
of
the
goals
that
we
are
looking
at
are,
of
course,
better
public
and
stakeholder
engagement,
making
sure
that
the
development
community
is
actively
engaged
in
the
process
and
watershed
groups
and
the
public
in
general
we're
going
to
ensure
that
our
development
requirements
are
in
conformance
with
PWS
A's,
existing
Green
first
plan
to
reduce
flooding
and
reduce
combined
sewer
overflow,
improve
water
quality
and
we're
going
to
look
at
bumping
up
the
amount
of
stormwater
management.
The
amount
of
stormwater
manage
to
the
first
inch
and
a
half
of
storm
events.
E
We
are
looking
at
reducing
peak
flow
rates
that
will
occur
after
some
more
in
depth
engineering
analysis.
We
want
to
better
define
what
green
infrastructure
is
and
our
alternate
compliance
policies
for
when
green
infrastructure,
you
can't
use
it
to
manage
all
the
stormwater
on
say,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
code
update
will
mesh
well
with
all
of
our
other
city
codes
and
plans.
D
Just
to
just
to
close
a
you
know
the
the
code
amendment
that
is
before
you
right
now
is
the
phase
one
that
x16
says:
67
work,
the
phase
2
will
be
things
that
will
be
coming
to
City
Council
to
later
in
the
year
relative
to,
and
you
know
the
the
administration
of
the
code,
although
it
is
currently
in
the
building
code
permits
licenses,
inspections
does
not.
They
do
not
administer
that
section
of
the
code
and
it
is
administered
by
the
Department
of
City
player
Department
by
the
Department
City
Planning,
and
so
with
that.
D
That
was
part
of
the
reason
that,
knowing
that
the
future
phase
will
be
looking
to
you
know
for
its
for
its,
we
were
moving
all
of
that
into
a
separate
title.
Now
as
yes,
because,
although
like
I
said,
although
it
is
in
the
building
code
presently,
that
is
not
something
that
PLI
currently
administers.
B
You
alright,
so
that
will
conclude
our
presentation
for
this
moment
in
time.
There
will
be
some
questions
and
answers
by
members
of
council,
but
first
we
want
to
be
mindful
of
our
invited
guests
that
will
be
coming
here
to
speak
today,
so
we
will
go
into
our
list
of
registered
speakers.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes
in
which
to
address
council.
We
ask
that
when
you
come
up,
you
please
begin
by
giving
your
name
and
the
neighborhood
in
which
you
reside
for
our
public
record.
B
The
green
light
will
indicate
the
start
of
your
three
minutes
when
the
yellow
light
comes
on.
You'll
have
one
minute
to
summarize
your
thoughts
when
the
red
light
comes
on,
then
you'll
relinquish
the
podium,
so
our
first
registered
speaker
to
this
afternoon
is
John
Stefan
and
John.
Please
come
up.
You
will
be
followed
by
Yvonne
Francine
Brown
welcome,
John,
good.
F
Afternoon
my
name
is
John
Steve
resident
of
Aspinwall
neighbors
to
your
water
source,
but
I'm
here
this
this
afternoon,
speaking
as
director
of
the
negli
one
watershed
task
force,
which
is
an
interagency
and
interdisciplinary
task
force,
looking
at
the
rain
water
issues
in
the
East
End
and
was
much
involvement
from
the
communities
of
negli
one,
including
Homewood
Larmour
Point
Breeze,
who
one
resident
will
be
here
after
me,
but
I
come
speaking
in
favor
of
this
ordinance.
It
is
a
great
start,
but
it
really
is
only
just
that.
It's
a
start.
F
I
urge
you
to
to
make
sure
you
move
rapidly
into
Phase
two
and
start
to
address
some
of
the
very
important
issues
around
our
storm
water
issue.
Flows.
I
want
to
remind
you
that
water
policy
is
land
use,
policy
and
land
use
policy
is
water
policy.
So
that
really
is
important
that
you
find
ways
of
tightening
up
the
integration
of
the
zoning
code
with
the
stormwater
requirements.
F
For
instance,
you
know
we
mentioned
the
the
green
first
plan
was
mentioned,
which
and
Negley
run
as
a
priority.
Water
said.
Green
first
plan
is
a
couple
years
old,
but
already
there's
been
a
lot
of
investments
in
those
East
End
communities
and
it's
starting
to
be
development
is
occurring
on
some
of
those
sites
that
were
identified
as
Gi
or
storm
water
retention
opportunity
zones.
F
G
My
name
is
Devon
Neff
Brown
I
live
in
the
Hill
District
and
I
would
like
to
say
to
you
to
the
debtor
here
that
anytime
I
see
that
there's
a
hearing
if
I
can
possibly
come
and
the
main
thing
I
asked
is.
Does
the
community
know
there's
been
times
that
the
community
did
not
know
now?
It
seems
like
you
do,
and
especially
you,
the
the
fellow
that
spoke
before
me.
He
knows
what
he's
talking
about.
G
He
belongs
to
a
group
that
had
been
studying,
see
some
of
the
problems
with
the
city
is
that
the
people
don't
know
what
you're
doing
a
lot
of
times.
They
don't
watch
City
Council,
then
you
know
our
late
gents
start
this
supposed
to
start
at
10:00
sometime.
They
start
they
used
to
do
1029
store
I.
Just
they
should
do
10:30
10:35
and
he's
supposed
to
catch
with
I
would
scream,
and
then
they
started
well.
1029
1028,
that's
a
whole
half
an
hour
that
we
sent
I
asked
whenever
they
have
us
waiting.
G
G
Tip
Stephens
last
week,
Tim
Stephen
turned
all
the
way
around.
Yes,
he
did
okay,
I'm
addressing
you
because
he
says
I
must,
but
he
will
not
help
him
Stephen
because
he's
yellow
you
know
I'm
dark,
meaning,
dark
people.
He
gives
us
a
hard
time,
even
Esther
Bush.
He
would
not
let
her
speak.
They
would
not
let
her
continue
and
then
the
government
sent
1
million
dollars
for
Esther
bush
to
work
with
this
city.
Do
you
understand
he's
making
decisions
and
spent
treated
me
just
like
I'm?
G
Nothing,
I
turned
because
I
turned
my
head
come
on
now,
Tim
Stevens,
all
the
way
around
you
did
not
say
once
he
kept
turning
around.
Do
you
understand,
I
am
coming
down
here.
I
am
trying
to
help
the
citizens.
I
am
fighting
for
our
community
I'm,
not
doing
anything
wrong
right.
Do
you
see
you
have
the
demand
from
passive
hollow?
He
had
a
sign
that
said
that
UPMC
was
raping
cancer
holiday.
Nobody
said
you
cannot
say
she's,
not
not.
Sep
come
on
sing.
You're
gonna.
Take
this
man's
right
away.
G
He
need
letters
he'd,
let
him
say
it.
He
let
him
say
it
only
because
I
spoke
up,
then,
when
I'm
speaking
up
when
I'm
fussing.
This
is
the
time
that
the
law
says
that
must
it's
not
me.
It
says
if
they're
doing
something
wrong,
you
must
speak
right.
Then,
when
I
complained
about
I
was
a
sponsor.
He
made
me
as
just
a
person
with
three
minutes
when
my
three
minutes
I
said
demand
my
two
minutes.
B
Thank
you,
Miss
Brown.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
Brown
I
would
just
like
to
take
a
moment
I.
Thank
you.
Miss
Brown,
just
like
to
take
a
moment
as
the
chair
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you.
Miss
Brown.
It
too
to
remind
everyone
that
the
purpose
of
the
public
hearing
is
to
speak
on
the
legislation
before
us.
G
I
My
name
is
Aaron
Copland
I
live
in
Highland
Park
here
in
the
city
and
but
I
also
work
for
the
Pittsburgh,
Parks,
Conservancy,
and
so
I
wanted
to
come
here
to
voice
my
support
of
the
city
amending
and
supplementing
the
Pittsburgh
code,
title
13,
stormwater
management.
It
allows
the
city
to
conform
to
a
Kuenn
67.
I
The
plan
and
the
model
model
ordinance
excuse
me
and
it's
valuable,
because
it
will
improve
effective
stormwater
management
at
watershed
on
site,
specific
scales
and
also
improve
the
overall
quality
of
water
of
receiving
water
bodies,
it's
necessary
and
so
important
to
have
a
comprehensive
vision
that
integrates
land
management
and
stormwater
management
policies
across
the
city
and
county.
By
doing
so,
development
which
interrupts
the
water
cycle
can
be
directed
to
reintegrate
that
water
into
the
landscape,
this
water.
This
will
keep
the
water
healthier
and
our
city
greener
at
the
parks
Conservancy.
I
We
are
advocating
for
and
collaborating
on
built
green
infrastructure
in
the
parks,
and
we
do
this
because
stormwater
management
techniques
improve
the
waters
health
and,
if
done
collaboratively,
can
bring
much-needed
investment
opportunities
to
restore
park
lands.
This
improves
the
land
itself,
as
well
as
those
communities
around
the
parks.
I
This
legislation
is
just
a
first
step
towards
implementing
GI
or
green
infrastructure
and
a
systemic
way
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
within
the
parks
working
closely
with
PWSA
and
their
citywide
green
first
plan,
we'll
reduce
stormwater,
runoff
flooding
basement
backups
and
improve
public
lands
on
many
park
sites
across
the
city,
Schenley
as
part
of
formal
Whiteman,
River
View
as
part
of
woods,
run
Highland
as
part
of
Negley
run.
There
are
ongoing
PWSA
and
city
of
pittsburgh.
Projects
supporting
and
building
these
is
again
needed
as
part
of
the
solution
to
curbing
csos.
I
We
have
the
parks,
Conservancy,
acknowledge
and
appreciate
the
leadership
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
City
Council,
and
we
look
forward
to
continued
partnership
on
Park
and
green
stormwater
infrastructure
policies,
projects
and
programs.
Our
sincerest
thanks
for
your
continued
work
on
improving
stormwater
legislation
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
B
J
My
name
is
Donnell
pearl
I'm,
a
local
Homewood
resident
I
work
for
Pitts
Pitts,
community
engagement
center
and
as
a
homeowner
in
Homewood,
I'd
like
to
see
and
voice
my
support
for
green
infrastructure.
Pittsburgh
speaks
outwardly
about
being
among
the
most
innovative
cities
in
the
nation.
The
most
greening
progressive
here
in
dealing
with
the
watershed
sewer
a
flow
problem.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
look
back
to
some
of
the
old
methods
and
green
infrastructure
really
does
serve
a
dual
purpose.
J
J
It's
been
shown
that
a
local
and
a
local
project
that
a
tree
pit
can
absorb
and
retain
up
to
six
hundred
and
seventy-five
gallons
of
water,
just
one
tract
of
the
net
reap
it
can
do
that
and
I
do
urge
you
to
go
beyond
do
go
beyond
your
first
step
and
supporting
the
PWSA.
His
nightly
run
watershed
project
I
want
you
guys
to
do
more
green
infrastructure
in
my
neighborhood
as
part
of
development
and
incorporate
that
into
development
plans
and
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
Yeah.
B
K
You
thank
you
for
inviting
us
here
this
afternoon.
My
name
is
Vivian
Schaefer
I'm,
a
resident
of
North,
Point,
Breeze,
point
branch,
north
and
I
am
the
resident
of
two
watersheds,
the
water
that
falls
in
our
gardens
and
drains
through
flows
to
the
negli
run
watershed
and
the
water
that
we
flushed
down.
Our
sewage
system
is
piped
into
nine
mile
run
I've
been
serving
as
the
Point
Breeze
North
neighborhood
development
committees
representative
to
the
Negley
run
task
force.
K
K
When
we
gather
together
to
gown,
to
draft
our
statement
we'll
be
meeting
in
the
building
built
directly
over
George
Westinghouse's
laboratory,
he
was
an
innovative
thinker
who
didn't
settle
for
the
status
quo,
who
would
not
have
allowed
a
stormwater
management
system
that
has
caused
people
to
lose
their
homes
and
lose
their
lives
and,
as
the
city
prepares
to
celebrate
inclusive
innovation
summit
later
this
month,
we
hope
that
George
Westinghouse
is
innovative.
Thinking
will
inspire
your
work
as
well
as
our
statement.
K
Another
innovative
Pittsburgh
thinker,
Rachel
Carson,
reminded
us
in
her
book,
Silent
Spring
in
1964
that
the
control
of
nature
is
a
phrase
conceived
in
arrogance,
born
of
the
Neanderthal
Age
of
biology
and
philosophy.
When
it
was
supposed
that
nature
exists
for
the
convenience
of
man,
we
have
an
opportunity,
through
the
implementation
of
green
infrastructure
and
technology,
to
make
nature
our
ally
to
work
on
the
same
team.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
B
You
pleasure
having
you
now.
We
have
exhausted
our
list
of
registered
speakers,
but
I
know
we
have
several
other
speakers
in
the
audience
that
wish
to
address
Council,
so
you're
welcome
to
come
up
one
at
a
time.
Please
start
by
giving
us
your
name
and
the
neighborhood
in
which
you
reside
and
you'll
have
your
three
minutes
to
speak
to
the
council.
L
Hi
I'm
Helen
visors
I'm,
representing
the
Pennsylvania
interfaith
impact
Network
in
1620,
Murray
Avenue
in
Squirrel
Hill.
We
sit
at
the
our
water,
our
Rivers
table
with
John
Stephens
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
he
said
is
that
it's
really
important
that
the
green
infrastructure
opportunities
that
the
PWSA
has
already
identified
need
to
be
protected
by
the
City
Planning
Department
by
the
Zoning
Department.
L
There
does
need
to
be
coordination
and
if
there
needs
to
be
additional
funds
spent
that
could
be
from
the
new
stormwater
fee.
So
I
also
want
to
say
that
walnut
Capital
when
they
gave
us
a
tour
of
the
Google
facility,
said
that
really
intense
stormwater
management
is
what
a
progressive
delt
developer
expects
to
have
to
comply
with
and
that
if
they
have
progressive
clients
that
they
expect
that
this
will
be
a
requirement
so
make
it
tough.
M
My
name
is
Maureen
Copeland
I
reside
in
East
Liberty
I'm,
also
here
on
behalf
of
the
nine
mile
round
watershed
association,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
City
planning,
for
you
know
all
the
work
that
you've
done
so
far.
I
really
appreciate
the
2-phase
recognizing
that
we
have
to
come
into
compliance
with
act
167,
but
also
having
the
you
know,
foresight
to
kind
of
move
that
requirement
to
the
next
level
in
order
to
protect
our
water
quality
in
our
communities.
M
Nine
mile
run
is
very
much
in
favor
of
green
stormwater
infrastructure
for
all
the
the
many
benefits
it
has
to
the
community,
not
just
in
water
quality.
So
we're
excited
and
very
much
invested
in
this
topic
and
want
to
see
what
the
community
input
sessions
coming
forward
are.
And,
yes
again,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
put
into
this
so
far
and
look
forward
to
seeing
what
comes
of
it.
Next
Irene.
N
Hi
I'm
Brenda,
Smith
I
reside
in
Squirrel,
Hill
and
I'm.
The
director
of
the
nine
mile
run
watershed
association
and
also
a
board
member
at
Alka
san,
so
I
think
a
lot
about
the
big
picture
of
how
we're
going
to
solve
the
sewer
overflow
problem
and
come
into
compliance
with
the
consent,
decree
and
I'm.
You
know
very
much
in
favor
of
PWSA
is
green
first
plan,
however,
for
it
to
have
any
chance
of
succeeding
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
spend
a
billion
dollars
above
ground
instead
of
underground
and
a
tunnel
system.
N
It's
critical
to
get
the
private
sector
involved,
because
we
can't
build
enough
on
public
in
the
public
right-of-way
to
be
able
to
capture
enough
storm
water
to
come
into
compliance,
so
any
kind,
whether
it's
the
stormwater
fee
or
a
more
stringent
ordinance,
stormwater
ordinance.
Those
things
will
help
make
sure
that
the
private
sector
begins
to
play
a
bigger
role
in
keeping
stormwater
out
of
the
sewers
and
I
think.
N
That's
really
critical,
so
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
adopting
the
currently
proposed
ordinance
and
then
of
the
public
process
to
see
if
we
can
make
it
even
better
I
think
it's
also
great
to
work
jointly
with
PWSA
in
the
public
process.
However,
I
don't
think
it's
necessary
for
the
city
to
wait
until
PWSA
is
actually
implementing
their
fee
in
order
to
adopt
a
stronger
ordinance,
because
now
that
PWSA
is
under
PUC
oversight,
it
could
be
a
protracted
process.
So
it's
good
to
work
together.
N
You
know
reaching
out
to
the
public,
but
if
you
can
move
along
on
a
faster
timetable,
that
would
be
great.
Also
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
in
looking
at
the
ordinance
in
the
section
about
technical
in
feasibility,
there's
a
heavy
emphasis
on
infiltration,
but
I
always
just
like
to
note
that
it
is
possible
to
do
effective,
green
stormwater
infrastructure
without
infiltrating
water
into
the
ground,
because
there
are,
of
course
many
places
in
the
city
where
it
wouldn't
be
a
good
idea
to
do
that.
B
O
B
B
H
O
B
B
Promise
you
we
are
on
it.
Have
you
been
done?
Swine
burn
it's
at
the
hillside,
it's
collapsing,
and,
and
it's
really
difficult
to
correct
him-
we've
actually
had
to
put
stop
signs
in
a
in
the
middle
of
a
street
just
to
stop
signs
because
it
has
to
narrow
down
to
one
to
get
through
anyway,
okay,
so
that
exhausts
our
list
of
registered
speakers.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out
today
to
address
the
council
I'd
like
to
apologize
for
getting
a
little
heated
there
later,
probably
not
one
of
my
best
moments.
I!
B
H
You
I
mean
I,
think
we'll
save
our.
You
know
more
thoughts
for
our
later
processes
to
move
forward
and
Phase.
Two
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
what
I
heard
and
I
think
some
of
the
speakers
emphasized
as
well,
which
is
that
in
the
Plenty
Department
presentation
you
emphasize
that
we've
taken
and
added
in
the
required
language
from
act
47
from
the
Allegheny
County
ak47
D,
you
know
approved
plan
state
approved
plan,
but
we
have
introduced
any
of
our
own
criteria.
H
I've
added
them
together
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
repeat
that
one
more
time,
so
we
kind
of
moved
our
code,
which
in
some
places
is
oh,
is
higher
standards
than
the
act
for
167
County
adopted
language
and
we've
combined
them
together
and
think
I'm
sure
it
was.
It
was
very
difficult
to
do
to
weave
them
together
into
a
new
chapter
in
code,
which
is
now
chapter
13.
H
So
people
can
look
it
up
and
see
it,
but
that
in
note
that
in
no
respects
for
any
of
our
own
standards
reduced
and
that's
where
we
are
currently
right.
So
we
have
new
County
language
and
we
have
our
current
standards
and
they
were
not
reduced,
but
what
we
are
looking
forward
and
what
we
heard
from
public
testimony
today
is
that
we
can
still
do
more
and
so
we're
going
to
have
this
opportunity
in
Phase
two,
and
we
know
we
need
more,
and
we
heard
very
clearly
today.
Thank
you
till
the
speakers.
H
Basements
flooding,
streets,
flooding,
properties,
flooding,
combined,
sewer,
overflow,
landslides
are
all
impacted
by
water
flow
right,
both
watersheds
and
sewer
sheds,
and
so
this
is
the
place.
This
new
chapter
13
is
where
we
will
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
creating
standards
where
we
can
reduce
that
flooding,
reduce
landslide
risk
and
reduce
the
combined
sewer
overflow.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
we
are
all
looking
forward
to
that.
Discussion.
H
I
also
often
refer
to
the
citywide
green
first
plan
because,
as
I've
you've
heard
me
say
before
here
at
this
table,
we
know
that
not
every
square
foot
of
City
combines
equally
to
the
combined
sewer
overflow
and
that
very
careful
study
by
PWSA
and
the
mayor's
office.
Some
years
ago,
that
was
adopted
by
council
shows
that
20%
of
the
sewer
sheds
are
creating
80%
of
the
OP
fault
that
the
EPA
is
so
concerned
about.
H
And
then
we're
also
concerned
about
and
I
represent
the
a
22
where
I
believe
one
tenth
of
an
inch
of
rain
saw
rainfall
results
in
overhaul
overflow
into
the
Allegheny
and
also
the
a
forty
one,
and
even
partly
the
a
forty
two
which
has
been
deadly
in
the
past.
So
and
one
of
the
speaker's
points
in
the
a
41.
We
kind
of
drill
down
even
more
carefully
a
PWSA
and
looked
at
really
every
kind
of
square
foot,
and
it
goes
from
that's
what
you
think
of
us.
H
A
parking
lot
and
the
sinks
and
toilets
that
are
hooked
up
to
that
main
pipe
are
go
up
to
Morningside
and
over
the
lip,
a
little
bit
to
Stanton
Heights,
a
lot
of
Highland
Park
and
then
even
part
of
the
back
of
Garfield,
a
little
bit
of
a
Liberty,
and
even
with
that
giant
section
of
City
Park
down
there
and
all
those
wooded
hillsides
a
lot
of
public
property,
certainly
a
lot
of
public
right-of-way.
You
still
can't
capture
all
that
rain.
You
still
need
about.
H
It's
only
about
70
percent
of
the
capture
can
occur
on
public
property,
so
about
30
percent
of
the
capture
will
have
to
occur
on
private
property,
and
so
how
do
we
move
forward
with
that?
This
will
also
be
the
chapter
where
we
can
figure
that
kind
of
stuff
out
did
I
say
all
that
to
hear
that
correctly.
Okay,
so
I'm,
really
looking
forward
with
this
is
gonna,
be
hard
work,
but
it's
good
work.
It's
important
work
and
I
feel,
like
we've,
moved
a
lot
of
things
into
place
to
get
to
this
moment.
B
Great
I
don't
know
that
I
could
say
it
better
other
than
to
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
Understanding
the
importance
of
our
responsibility
to
manage
storm
overflow
we've
seen
the
devastation
that
it
can
cost
caused,
and
it
is
our
our
duty
and
our
responsibility
to
put
forward
sound
policy
to
which
we
can
manage
and
mitigate
I'll,
be
happy
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
you.
If
you
have
any
further
comments
that
you
wish
to
make
Councilwoman.
B
B
I
want
everyone
that
came
today
to
participate
to
understand.
There
will
be
a
process.
It
may
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
This
is
nothing
that
we're
going
to
rush
through.
We
want
to
do
it
right,
but
stay
with
us,
the
Councilwoman
to
keep
you
informed
and
we'll
do
our
best
to
make
it
a
cohesive
and
organized
process.
Okay,
good
thanks
with
that
can
I
have
a
motion
to
address.
