Abstract
Sewer Collection systems can contribute substantial pollutant loading to receiving waters during wet weather events due to Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). The implementation of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I Stormwater Program and other Non Point Source (NPS) reduction programs have identified water quality issues associated with SSOs. A new program being implemented to address these issues is the Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM) program; the goal of this program is to minimize SSO events, this is accomplished by many facets of the program, including development and implementation of a system that prioritizes maintenance needs, including infiltration/inflow (I/I) investments in repairs to the collection system.
