3 Clean Water Act Issues Clean Water Act issues are more than CSO Sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) including surcharged sewers, basement flooding & common trench sewers Illicit discharges & connections Home sewage treatment systems Wastewater treatment plants

4 Clean Water Act Issues All Clean Water Act issues are not the responsibility of the District. All Clean Water Act issues are important for the region to effectively resolve.

5 Sanitary Sewer Overflows SSO Structures Basement Flooding Surcharged sewers Common trench sewers

6 Big Creek Illicit Connections Cuyahoga River Abram Creek Big Creek Baldwin Creek

67 NEORSD MCIP Performance Verification

68 Performance Verification Form Definitions Technical Guidance Provides instruction regarding verification required for various project types Community Form Used by community to describe project performance verification plan and schedule Location Maps Used by community to submit images showing planned verification points

69 Definitions Defines sewer types in terms that should be used when describing the existing system

70 Common Trench Sanitary and storm sewers in the same trench, with the storm sewer either aligned on top of or next to the sanitary sewer Over/Under Dividing Wall Standard Dual Manhole

71 One manhole to access both sewers, removable invert plate Over/Under

72 Over/Under Invert Plate

73 One manhole to access both sewers, vertical wall separates access Dividing Wall

74 Dividing Wall Storm Flow Don t worry, I poop on the other side of the wall. Dividing Wall Sanitary Flow

75 Standard Dual Manhole Two manholes in common trench; separate access to each sewer with no direct connection

76 Standard Dual Manhole Storm Sewer Sanitary Flow Looking out a Storm Pipe into Sanity MH Bootleg SSO AKA Sanitary Relief

77 Separate Trench Sanitary and storm sewers in different trenches with separate manholes

78 Other Definitions Combined Sewer Single sewer designed to receive and transport both sanitary sewage and stormwater runoff in the same pipe Home Sewage Treatment Systems (HSTS) Individual domestic wastewater disposal systems often located in areas without public sanitary collection systems

79 Technical Guidance Suggested Project Performance Verification by Project Type Flow Monitoring Guidelines District Rain Gauge Locations Dry Weather Water Quality Sampling

80

81 Flow Monitoring Quantify the level of I/I reduction resulting from sewer rehabilitation/replacement RDII can be completed using free EPA- SSOAP Pre-construction data should be submitted with application

82 Rain Gauge Locations Rain gauge data available from the District Matt Fedak, Data Analyst

83 Rain Gauge Locations GARR data available from the District Mike Blair, Project Manager

84 Flow Monitoring Four week duration OR three storms that meet either: Rain event meets or exceeds a depth of 0.2 inches AND an intensity of 0.25 inches/hour 24-hour rainfall greater than 0.75 inches Data collected Flow depth, velocity, flow rate 5-minute intervals

85 Dry Weather Water Quality Sampling Quantify approximate pollutant concentration Illicit Discharge HSTS Elimination End-of-pipe samples from discharges or outfalls 3 separate sampling events for each identified outfall

86 Flow Monitoring DW Outfall Sampling Other Community Form
