What Goes Down Drain Eventually Bobs Up Here
By COREY KILGANNON

The best places to see the celebrated products of New York — its
Broadway talent, its skyscraper architecture — are well known.

But the best place to see Manhattan’s byproducts — what is stuffed
down its sinks, flushed down its toilets and washed from its gutters —
cannot be found in tour guides. There is perhaps no better vantage
point than the Manhattan Grit Chamber, which strains solids from much
of the borough’s sewage as it flows underground to the Wards Island
Wastewater Treatment Plant.

"This is where it all winds up," said John Ahern, who oversees the
chamber, a large building at the eastern end of 110th Street in
Manhattan, next to Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive.

The Manhattan chamber handles sewage from much of the Upper East Side
and Upper Manhattan, which makes up about a third of the city’s total.
From the baby’s bathwater to the dead rat washed down a curbside storm
drain, from a slop sink at Gracie Mansion to a Washington Heights
bodega bathroom, it all goes into the street sewers, which, in their
intricate latticework, are laid out so that the sewage flows by
gravity to one large main bound for a tunnel running under the East
River to the plant on Wards Island, surrounded by Manhattan, Queens
and the Bronx. There it is cleaned of toxins and released as purified
water into the river.

To keep the tunnel clear, grit and other solid materials must be
strained before the sewage enters. That’s where the chamber comes in.
It was opened in 1937 along with the Wards Island plant and the city’s
other grit chamber in the Bronx and strains sewage from the west
Bronx. It also feeds the Wards Island plant.

At the Manhattan chamber, sewage enters through a 12-foot-wide main
and flows into a basement room, where it is split into four canals,
slowing its flow so that solids settle to the bottom. The sediment is
collected by an arm that sweeps the bottom of the canal and empties
into buckets that automatically rinse the grit and lift it up to the
ground floor, where it is deposited in metal bins.

The detritus floating in the channels — yesterday, this included
cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastic bottles, candy wrappers and
plastic spoons — is skimmed out by a rake and pulled up an incline
called a screen climber, which resembles an escalator, and is also
deposited into bins.

They sit at the foot of the elegant columns gracing the building’s Art
Deco lobby, one of the aging Art Deco features in the building that
are being restored. The refined architecture is at odds with the
omnipresent stench.

The strained waste water proceeds along the canals and through sluice
gates, then drops several hundred feet down a shaft into a
nine-foot-wide tunnel running as much as 500 feet below the East River
to the plant.

The bins of accumulated solids, called "screenings," are frequently
dumped by forklift into larger ones for transport to Wards Island and
are held there until they are shipped to landfills out of state. The
whole process is costly, and might be less so if people paid more
attention to what they flush down the drain, city officials say.

The containers each hold 10 cubic yards. "We fill about two or three
of those on a busy day," Mr. Ahern said.

A busy day comes when it rains. The chamber handles about 100 million
gallons of sewage a day — more than double that when it rains and the
storm drains and street sewers are flooded. The flow increases
enormously, and the whole operation goes into overdrive. The sewage
treatment workers head for higher ground upstairs.

Yesterday, everything in the cavernous basement room was spattered
with dried rags and detritus, reaching up to a high-water mark on the
wall about eight feet up.

"We haven’t had any rain in a few days so the flow is a little slow,"
he said. "But when it rains, this whole room can get flooded out. It
comes in like a deluge."

Mr. Ahern is the superintendent of the Wards Island plant, which,
after Newtown Creek, is the largest of the city’s 14 treatment plants.
The list of things he has seen and seen strained from New Yorkers’
sewage provide enough fodder for a one-man show.

For starters, he pointed into a bin of screenings. There were mostly
rags, soiled paper towels, condoms, rubber gloves, MetroCards, dental
floss and tampon applicators — that and a dead rat. There is no demure
way of describing other contents.

"Sometimes you find money," he said, looking into the bins. "We get a
lot of stuffed animals, anything kids throw down the toilet. We don’t
get much feces or toilet paper because it gets dissolved into the
flow.

"We get a lot of turtles and fish. We got a carp this big," he said,
holding his hands 15 inches apart. "We’ve had a canoe come in here; it
got caught on the screen. We’ve had pieces of telephone poles,
Christmas trees. Oh, you name it — mattresses, dead dogs. We got a
live dog once.

"Once we got this thing: it was a wire that started gathering rags and
stuff in the sewer and just grew like a snowball and came washing in,
a big ball of garbage," he said. "We called it the Volkswagen."

He stood on a catwalk between the canals and looked down at the dark
gray waters, pocked with bubbles.

"That’s from the methane gas released by the sediment," he said.

And yes, the sewers sometimes become a grave for the unfortunate.

"We’ve had a few dead bodies," he said. "We got a homeless woman, but
it’s mostly men. Once we had a guy who was shot. The last one we had
was a homeless guy, a few years ago in the Bronx. They go into the
manholes to look for jewelry and money, and then they get overcome
with gas, go unconscious and die down there. When we get a dead body,
we shut down the operation and call the cops."

Lucky/Vanilla

A long time ago, Steve and I rescued the tiny kitten you see in the upper left inset. (And that was taken after he’d been fed for a week and had grown!).

The main photo is Mr. December from a cat calendar that was published a few years ago. Yup, same cat.

Finally, below is a blog post I wrote long ago, about how Lucky got to become Vanilla and got the best cat home ever.

Thursday, April 27, 2000

Once upon a time, several moons ago, I was walking down to the store on the corner near our house. And as I got closer, I realized that the cries I was hearing were not from a baby in one of the houses I passed. Nearing the busy intersection, the cries got louder, and I finally found their source; a tiny dirty-white form at the edge of the road, watching the intersection intently while doing an incredible cover of Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" at full volume. During a break in the traffic, I scooped him up while noticing that he was still watching the intersection, and saw another tiny being crossing it silently and unsteadily. I scooped him up, too.

I took the two kittens into the store with me and began pleading with the other customers to offer them a home. We had two Siamese at home, one of them rather new himself, and I knew it wouldn’t work. A man took the gray one; he was cleaner, less vocal, and altogether more attractive. I couldn’t find a taker for the scruffy loud white one, so I picked up some baby supplies, which the store clerk then insisted I take for free, and took him home. I didn’t know what to expect when I came into the house from this unique shopping trip, but luckily enough Steve fell in love with the little guy as quickly as I did, and he was soon being called "Lucky." Despite my declarations that night, I wasn’t able to take him to the shelter the next day. We decided to give it a week or so, and try to find a home ourselves. In the meantime, we had to try to get Lucky back on track. He had all the classic symptoms of emaciation, and I worried that without IV fluids he wouldn’t last the night.

But on entering the room the next morning, it was clear that he still had a lot of lung power, still singing his tune. We got equipment to feed him…he wasn’t actually weaned, but, disgusted with our bottle feeding attempts, he learned to eat solid food quickly, stabbing at it with his tiny mouth. We estimated that he was only about 4 weeks old when we found him.

It ended up taking a little longer than I had hoped to find Lucky a home. Lucky for me, Steve pitched right in with all of the care, and the kitten thrived. He still tried to nurse by sucking on our shirts, and if permitted he would race up your chest to give you a nice bite on the nose; perhaps noses looked like giant milk-filled nipples he may have dreamed of. It certainly seemed that way from his insistance. But as much as we loved him, it was too much to ask of Buddy and Scout to take him in permanently ourselves.

One of my co-workers had told me of a friend and neighbor, Elena, who had saved many cats, and had about a dozen of them in her house and garden. I had no idea that this might be Lucky’s new home…but it turned out that she was looking for a companion for Waldorf, himself a very young kitten admist many grown cats. Soon it was arranged, and I was relieved that we’d mananged to find not only a home, but a wonderful one.

Time passed; I saw pictures and heard stories about the newly christened Vanilla. But nothing prepared me for the video we saw tonight.

Imagine a lovely garden, with flowers, trees, a pool surrounded by rocks. And imagine cats appearing, one by one…happy, healthy cats. And in the video, Elena appears, carrying a large white lively cat with yellow Siamese markings.

There was more. I think Steve and I were both alternating between shouting hurrahs and getting teary. As Steve said, "That’s the BEST thing we’ve ever done." It had, frankly, been a crappy week, and this was exactly what I needed to see to feel happy about something. Vanilla is a wonderful big bundle of potential trouble, as all good cats should be…in the video we can still see some of the personality that we saw when he fit into the palm of our hand. And it’s clear that he has the best possible home in the world.

Kim and Bonnie, you made our week by shooting that video. And Eleana, I can’t tell you how much happiness you’ve given us, just by taking in a tiny kitten.

And Vanilla, you…well, it’s probably best not to encourage that ego of yours…

！！about feeding baby solids tips :It’s very easy to get sucked into the constant advertising of baby powders, creams, and lotions. But the best baby lotion is plain old olive oil—cheap, natural, and un-perfumed. As for other products, keep it as natural, organic, and fragrance-free as possible.

Fourteen days old

Today, Scarlet x Apple’s second litter turned a fortnight. Not as large as other kittens, they do stand their ground especially when you consider the sheer number of kittens.

For now we expect to be petting and admiring:
- 3 boys and 4 girls,
- 2 lynx and 5 solid points,
- 4 mitteds and 3 colorpoints
- mostly seal (so far one "suspected" blue).

We love this guessing game and are so happy that all has been going so well so far. Scarlet is a wonderful, dedicated and generous mother that gives everything she has to feed, warm, clean and protect her babies.

With a mom like Scarlet, breeding is fun!

Q&A–: How so I go about feeding my baby solids?
My son is a little over 4 months old and we went to the Dr. the other day and he said it was time to start solid foods like baby cereal and 1st vegetables. For the past two days I have been feeding him Single Grain Rice Cereal mixed with formula and he did pretty well. I plan on feeding him the rice for another day then trying Oatmeal for a few days and then trying the vegetables. I’m not too sure on how to go about this, any advice?

The answer in the following: (Hint: The reader is not the correct identification.)

Answer by fishes_r_yucky
if you try the oatmeal wait atleast 2 days before trying anything else in case of allergic reaction and with the vegatables just open the jar and feed him with a spoon! be sure not to put too much (im sure you already know but some ppl dont) and make sure he isnt choking and that he is done with all of it before you give him more and he will let you know when he is full

Answer by Megan
I am not yet feeding my 3 1/2 month old solids, so I’m not really sure, but I’ve read that you should do the rice or oatmeal for several days just like you said, and then move on to veggies. But when it comes to the veggies, they say that you should try one, but then wait for 2-3 days before introducing a new one so that in the case of an allergic reaction you’ll know exactly which food is the problem and will know to not feed that to him again. I’ve also heard do veggies before fruits, I guess because fruits taste better and supposedly baby won’t want veggies if he tastes the fruit first!

Answer by LaTishia
I know you got the dr’s consent, I would do the cereal for a couple more weeks. So he’ll get hang of feeding from a spoon. Once he seems like he’s getting the hang of it (no spittting the food out with tongue), then I’ll start with stage 1 veggies. You introduce a new veggie/fruit each week 5-7 days. Just to make sure he’s not allergic to it.

Good luck.

Answer by Malaki R
Try different foods at a gradual pace. Your baby may not like oatmeal but may like rice cereal. Variety is the key.
