How Costich Supports Venue Operations Through Wireless Infrastructure

A venue only works if it can handle its crowd, and today that includes handling what the crowd’s phones are doing. Ticketing, concessions, wayfinding, media, and basic safety communications all run over wireless service now, which means network capacity has become an operational requirement for any venue hosting large numbers of people, not an amenity. What changes from venue to venue is how that demand shows up. A stadium needs it every day it is open. A one-weekend festival needs it for exactly one weekend, on a site that has to return to normal the moment the crowd leaves. Costich works with Verizon Wireless to engineer the infrastructure behind that coverage, and the approach looks different depending on how the venue itself operates.

A Venue That Runs Year Round: ESL Ballpark

ESL Ballpark operates on a full season schedule, which means its wireless demand is constant rather than tied to a single date. Costich provided civil engineering and construction drawing support for a new Verizon Wireless facility built into the ballpark’s existing video board structure, an unmanned facility with its own associated utilities designed to improve wireless service throughout the stadium.

The scope covered site construction drawings for the antenna and ground equipment areas, equipment cabinet layout, concrete pad and pier details, grading and erosion control, electric and fiber routing, grounding plans, and equipment mounting coordination, incorporating multiple antenna sectors including 5G, C-Band/CBRS, panel, and Matsing equipment. Because ESL Ballpark is an active public venue owned by Monroe County, the design had to work around existing stadium features, access constraints, utilities, structural conditions, and visual considerations without interrupting how the venue actually operates day to day. Standalone infrastructure was the right fit here, since the venue’s demand for coverage never really turns off. The project was completed in 2026.

A Venue That Exists for a Weekend: Rochester Airshow

The Rochester Airshow turns an airfield into a temporary venue for one of the region’s largest single-weekend events, and its operational needs look nothing like a stadium’s. There is no year-round crowd to plan around, no existing infrastructure built for public gatherings, and no reason to leave anything behind once the event ends. Costich supported Verizon Wireless with a temporary wireless facility engineered specifically for the compressed footprint of the Airshow, coordinating equipment placement, power, and grounding to meet the site’s access and safety requirements for the duration of the show.

That is the core difference from a venue like ESL Ballpark. The airfield is not a venue in the everyday sense, it becomes one for a few days a year, and the infrastructure supporting it has to be deployed, operated, and removed on that same timeline, in coordination with airport operations and everything else happening on the same footprint during the event.

A Venue That Is Also a Village: Canal Days in Fairport

Canal Days turns the Village of Fairport into one of the region’s largest festival venues, drawing crowds along the Erie Canal for two full days before the village goes back to being a village. Costich supported Verizon Wireless with a temporary wireless facility sized to that surge in demand, sited, powered, and grounded within the footprint of the event in coordination with the Village of Fairport and the realities of a festival that closes streets and reshapes pedestrian flow for its duration.

It is a good example of how “venue” is not always a fixed piece of infrastructure. Fairport operates as a village the rest of the year and as a regional event venue for one weekend, and the wireless infrastructure supporting Canal Days has to respect both of those identities, showing up when the crowd does and disappearing when it doesn’t.

The same temporary setup also supports Fairport Music Fest, an event held in the same footprint months apart from Canal Days. Rather than engineering a new solution for each event, Costich designed a temporary facility that can be redeployed as is, which keeps costs and turnaround predictable for the client every time the site comes back into use.

Supporting However a Venue Operates

ESL Ballpark, the Rochester Airshow, and Canal Days are three very different kinds of venues: a stadium that operates year round, an airfield that becomes a venue for one weekend a year, and a village that becomes one for two days. Costich’s work with Verizon Wireless across all three comes down to the same approach, engineering wireless infrastructure that matches how each venue actually operates rather than applying one standard solution everywhere. That means standalone facilities where the demand is constant, and temporary, fully removable facilities where the demand is not.

For venue owners and operators around Rochester and the greater Western New York market, that is the value Costich brings to telecommunications projects, civil engineering built around how a venue really functions, whether that is 81 games a season or a single weekend on the calendar.

SWPPP Design, Inspection, and Compliance Services in New York State

SWPPP Design, Inspection, and Compliance Services in New York State

Costich Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, D.P.C. provides Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) services that support project compliance from initial design through construction closeout. Our civil engineering staff assists clients with SWPPP preparation in accordance with the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit documentation, erosion and sediment control planning, construction-phase inspections, reporting, and coordination with contractors, owners, municipalities, and review agencies.

Costich has completed well over 1,000 SWPPP-related inspections, reports, and compliance assignments across New York State. Our experience spans commercial, municipal, recreational, industrial, residential, telecommunications, and public infrastructure projects. As a New York State, City of Rochester, and Monroe County certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), Costich also helps project teams meet MWBE participation goals on publicly funded work.

Our SWPPP Services

SWPPP review and permit documentation. Costich reviews project plans, site disturbance limits, drainage patterns, stormwater management requirements, and applicable NYSDEC SPDES General Permit criteria to prepare or support SWPPP documentation. This work may include preparation of SWPPP reports, SPDES permit materials, erosion and sediment control plans, inspection reports, and stormwater-related plan coordination. Because our staff also performs hydraulic calculations, water quality and quantity design, and site grading design, stormwater compliance is integrated into the project rather than treated as a standalone paperwork exercise.

Construction-Phase SWPPP Inspections. During construction, Costich provides SWPPP inspections to review site conditions, erosion and sediment control measures, construction sequencing, disturbed areas, stabilization practices, and compliance with approved plans and permit requirements. The SPDES General Permit requires qualified inspections at regular intervals while soil disturbance is active, and inspection records must be maintained on site. Our inspection services help owners and contractors keep that documentation current and address field conditions as construction progresses.

Erosion and Sediment Control Monitoring. Costich observes and documents the installation, maintenance, and performance of erosion and sediment control practices identified in the approved SWPPP. These measures commonly include stabilized construction entrances, silt fence, inlet protection, stockpile stabilization, temporary seeding, and permanent stabilization. When deficiencies are identified, our team coordinates with contractors to recommend corrective actions and documents the resolution, keeping the project’s compliance record complete and defensible.

Reporting, Coordination, and Notice of Termination. Costich prepares inspection reports, maintains SWPPP documentation, tracks corrective actions, and coordinates with project teams, contractors, owners, and review agencies throughout construction. At project closeout, we assist with final stabilization review, permit closeout documentation, and the Notice of Termination (NOT) process that formally ends SPDES permit coverage. Closing out a permit correctly protects owners from ongoing liability and lingering compliance obligations after construction is complete.

Why Work with Costich on Stormwater Compliance. Costich does not perform construction. We serve as the designer, oversight provider, and compliance monitor, which means our documentation reflects an independent professional review of site conditions. Our integrated approach, combining design experience with field inspection, helps project teams maintain compliance, document site conditions accurately, and respond efficiently as conditions change during construction. Contact our team to discuss SWPPP support for your next project.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is a site-specific document that identifies how a construction project will prevent sediment and pollutants from leaving the site and entering nearby waterways. In New York State, most construction activities that disturb one acre or more of land require coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity, and a SWPPP is a core requirement of that coverage. The plan describes erosion and sediment control practices, stormwater management measures, inspection procedures, and the responsibilities of the parties involved.

A SWPPP is generally required for construction activities that disturb one acre or more of soil, which triggers coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity. Smaller sites may also require a SWPPP if they are part of a larger common plan of development or if a local municipality imposes its own stormwater requirements.

Under the current SPDES General Permit, qualified inspections are typically required at least once every seven calendar days while soil disturbance is ongoing. For sites with five or more acres of disturbance, inspections are required twice within each seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between inspections. Twice-weekly inspections may also apply to smaller sites when an impaired waterbody is present, at the discretion of the local municipality. The approved SWPPP for each project defines the specific inspection schedule and documentation requirements.

SWPPP inspections must be performed by a qualified inspector as defined by the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit, which generally means someone trained in erosion and sediment control principles working under the direction of appropriate professional oversight. Costich provides qualified inspection staff supported by licensed professional engineers.

Once final stabilization is achieved, the owner or operator files a Notice of Termination with NYSDEC to end SPDES permit coverage. Costich assists with the final stabilization review and closeout documentation needed to support that filing.

Yes. Costich provides SWPPP design, inspection, and compliance services for projects throughout New York State.

West Henrietta Road Delta Sonic Car Wash

2970 West Henrietta Rd, Rochester, NY 14623

Client: Benderson Development
Construction Completion: Summer 2026

Project Services: Land Survey, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation & Construction Observation

 

Improving Site Circulation and Regulatory Compliance at a High-Traffic Intersection

Benderson Development faced a persistent operational challenge at the Delta Sonic carwash facility at 2970 West Henrietta Road in Rochester, New York. The site suffered from entry conflicts, constrained parking flow, and sight line obstructions that created friction during operations and contributed to congestion at the busy West Henrietta and Mount Hope intersection. The problem wasn’t just about moving cars through the property more efficiently. It was about reducing pressure on a major neighborhood intersection and improving the facility’s ability to serve customers without creating bottlenecks.

Integrated Design Across Disciplines

Costich’s approach required civil engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture to work as a single team, not separate disciplines. The civil engineers redesigned the site circulation, reconfigured drive lanes, and adjusted grading to eliminate entry conflicts and improve sight lines at critical decision points. The surveyors provided precise stakeouts and as-built documentation throughout construction to ensure the design intent was executed in the field. The landscape team positioned plantings strategically to enhance visibility without sacrificing site character.

Parallel to circulation redesign, Costich integrated stormwater management directly into the site geometry. Rather than adding detention ponds or surface features as afterthoughts, the team designed underground detention systems, rainwater collection infrastructure, and bio-retention areas that worked within the new circulation pattern. This integration meant the site could improve operationally while meeting NYSDEC compliance requirements without requiring additional land or creating visual clutter.

Regulatory Coordination

A project of this scope required Costich to navigate submissions and approvals across multiple agencies with overlapping jurisdictions: the Monroe County Water Authority for backflow prevention and water main certification, the Monroe County Department of Health for sanitary and potable water systems, the New York State Department of Transportation for road entrance permits and ongoing inspections, and the Town of Henrietta for site plan modifications under the Mixed-Use Redevelopment Area Overlay District.

Costich maintained continuous SWPPP compliance throughout construction, conducting regular inspections and producing detailed reports to ensure that site work itself did not create environmental risk. Managing these parallel approval processes required coordination, documentation, and the ability to respond quickly to agency comments without derailing the overall timeline.

Outcomes

Site plan approval was granted in October 2024. Construction proceeded through late 2024 and into 2026, with the facility operational as of June 2026. The improvements have proven significant. Traffic flow within the property is measurably better, reducing the time vehicles spend navigating entry, parking, and exit sequences. More importantly, the improved site circulation has reduced congestion at the West Henrietta and Mount Hope intersection itself. The surrounding commercial area benefits from a facility that no longer creates bottlenecks during peak periods.

This project demonstrates Costich’s ongoing partnership with Benderson Development and Delta Sonic. It also illustrates how coordinated site engineering solves multiple problems simultaneously: operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and neighborhood impact.

New 100,000 Square Foot Manufacturing Facility
Site is Approximately 27.066 +/- Acres of Which 20+/- Acres Will Be Disturbed By Construction

Client: Sydor Optics
Project Investment: $32 Million
Construction Completion: ongoing

Project Services: Land Survey, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation & Construction Observation

Project Background

Sydor Optics is one of Rochester’s most recognized precision manufacturers, supplying flat optical components to aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and medical industries worldwide. When the company announced a $32 million investment to expand its manufacturing operations in Monroe County, anchored by a new 100,000-square-foot production facility in Chili, New York, they needed a civil engineering partner who could manage the full scope of design, environmental review, and municipal approvals.

Costich Engineering delivered that scope from the ground up.

The new facility at 40 Jetview Drive sits across the street from Sydor’s existing campus at 31 Jetview Drive and will double the company’s current manufacturing footprint. The project is currently under construction, with earthwork underway and completion targeted for 2027.

What Costich Did

Site work for a project of this scale requires coordination across multiple agencies, tight sequencing of approvals, and design that accounts for real site constraints. The Costich team handled all of it.

On the civil side, the work included full site development plans covering grading and erosion control, utility layout, stormwater management, pavement design, and site profiles. A new dedicated access road, Sydor Way, was established off Jetview Drive as part of a subdivision of the remaining parcel into three lots. Stormwater infrastructure was designed on the east side of the site, consistent with the property’s natural drainage pattern, and supported by a SWPPP and Notice of Intent filed with the NYSDEC.

On the approvals side, Costich prepared and submitted the Full Environmental Assessment Form for SEQRA review, coordinated submissions to the Greater Chili Outside Sewer District, Monroe County Water Authority, and Monroe County Department of Health, and secured Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals approvals through the Town of Chili.

Landscape architecture services included schematic design options with supporting precedent materials, with outdoor gathering space incorporated near the building’s office and conference areas.

Construction administration is ongoing, including NYSDEC-required SWPPP inspections, watermain certification, and letter of credit draw requests.
