  1. Sig Strautmanis, General Capital Joshua Neudorfer, The Sigma Group Milwaukee, Wisconsin November 2013

  2. The Historic Menomonee River Valley

  3. Aerial – 1957 Reed Street Yards

  4. View West – South Menomonee Canal

  5. Reed Street Yards 2012 View East

  6. The Big Picture Vision • Global Water Technology Park • A redevelopment project consistent with the vision established in the Water Council’s Mission • To align the regional fresh water research community and water-related industries to establish the Milwaukee region as the World Water Hub for water research, economic development and education. • International, National and Regional Businesses • Incubator Businesses • Academic Institutions • Research & Development • Model for Sustainable Urban Development

  7. The Vision – Important Details • Demonstration Elements: Visible and Water-Oriented • Potential De-centralized Treatment – the “Purple Pipe” • Storm water – Native Landscape, Bio-infiltration, Phyto-Remediation, Porous Pavement, Urban Canopy • Innovative Technologies & Products (e.g. PaveDrain) • Educational Signage & Education Opportunities • Highly Visible/Branded Sustainable Design • Aspirations for high level certifications: LEED– Platinum for Watertech One • LEED—ND for RSY as a whole • Master Storm Water Plan (visible and “describable”) • Indigenous Plant Reintroduction – Menomonee Valley Palette • Building Design Standards— RSY Sustainable Design Standards (mins) • Improved Public Access to WATER • Hank Aaron State Trail Extension • Urban Plaza • South Menomonee Canal – Overlook, canoe & kayak launch, stabilization

  8. The International Water Association Design CharretteBrainstorming Demonstration Elements and Water Sustainability Solutions

  9. IWA Design Charrette – Great Ideas • Achieve the maximum aesthetic value from all water and energy elements to enhance livability and value to the developer • Accommodate the requirements of development economics and performance metrics • Address needs and challenges expected from climate change • Identify research opportunities within the project to complement the technology demonstrations • Integrate commercial and residential development properties into the project • Manage the project using intelligent sensors and systems to optimize demand timing and water source selection for lowering peaks, reduced energy consumption, and optimal use of available capacity • Incorporate heated effluent from the power plant for thermal energy needs and evaluate additional off-site uses • Incorporate thermal energy to heat roads and eliminate the use of salt • Take advantage of the cooling benefits of locating power plant effluent piping in the canal • Consider demonstration of bio-plastics technology for the black-water stream • Consider creating a green infrastructure utility loop with north-south access points along the road corridor • Consider a utilidor • Address LEED and other certification issues raised by the project and overall development (e.g. ISI ENVISION certification) • Identify the limitations on use of gray-water that has been treated to a higher water quality • Evaluate feasibility of utilizing the canal as a reservoir component • Evaluate how options are impacted by current utility regulations and standards, e.g., recycled water reuse limitations • Address the network and control issues • Develop a decision tree for future adaptation options and early, zero-regret actions

  10. Monitoring and control International Water Association Design Charrette The Smart Water Community Concept Water supply < 30 % of normal consumption Drinking, cooking, personal hygiene DWTP GWTP Organickitchenwaste Washing and cleaning Possibly urinals RWTP Toilet flushing BWTP Outdoor uses, irrigation Bio-soil fertilizer Rainwater harvesting Stormwater collection Energy recovery Heat-pump Emergency overflow Infiltration Park with constructed reservoir/pond for storage, self-purification and recreation

  11. Conceptual Model Gray-Water Pipeline Multi-Functional Water Treatment & Energy Recovery Facility Heated Water Pipeline Power Plant Reservoir Stormwater Drinking Water Pipeline Future Tannery Residential Future Commercial Gray-Water Pipeline MMSD Sewer Pipeline

  12. First Steps Toward Implementing the Model:Purple Pipe Infrastructure • Secondary water line return (dual pipe system) • Purple = recycled water vs. • Blue = Municipally supplied potable water • Routes treated water back to buildings for re-use • Recycled water may be sent to: • Natural waters (canal) • Irrigation • Industrial water • Toilet water • Chiller or other closed loop water system • Water feature (more on that later…) • Other non-potable sources • In other parts of the world “purple water” is treated sufficiently to reintroduce as a percentage of total potable water

  13. Storm Water and Water-Oriented Demonstration Elements Current Implementation • Storm water treatment “train” • Engineered Bio-swales • PaveDrain in parking lane • Phytoremediation plantings • Increased urban canopy • Vegetated soil stabilization zones • Water Demonstration Plaza The Future – Storm Water and Water-Oriented Demonstrations • Implement Treatment Demonstration Facility • Living Roofs & Walls • Rainwater Collection & Reuse • Heat Reclamation (in sanitary). . .

  14. Reed Street Yards Oct 2013

  15. Water Demonstration Plaza

  16. Highly Visible/Branded Sustainable Design Foundation in Development Incentive Zone (DIZ) Guidelines: • Urban form of development: Efficient Land Utilization • Minimum Sustainable Development Standards I. Site Design II. Building Design & Energy Use III. Materials and Resources IV. Construction & Demolition V. Indoor Environmental Quality VI. Operations & Maintenance Must achieve 60 points. Based on Menomonee Valley guidelines.

  17. Watertech One:Going for the Big “P” Plaque! • Setting the tone for an international audience • LEED is industry standard • Corporate policies for “LEED only” spaces • Brokerage community recognizing price/positioning advantage • Pre-certifying to LEED Platinum • Transwestern consulting from initial concept phase • Sigma consulting/engineering on brownfield/site design • Kahler Slater designing with specific sustainability targets • Berghammer on board from the start

  18. Next… • Winter closing in… wrapping up critical infrastructure • Pittsburgh to 2nd Street in Spring 2014 • Water Innovation Plaza goes live Spring 2014 • Watertech One breaking ground Summer 2014
