  • Infiltration/Inflow Task Force Report
    INFILTRATION/INFLOW TASK FORCE REPORT A GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR MWRA MEMBER SEWER COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS MARCH 2001 INFILTRATION/INFLOW TASK FORCE REPORT A GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR MWRA MEMBER SEWER COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS MARCH 2001 Executive Summary This report is the product of the Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) Task Force. It has been developed through the cooperative efforts of the 43 Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) member sewer communities, MWRA Advisory Board, The Wastewater Advisory Committee (WAC) to the MWRA, Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA), Fore River Watershed Association (FRWA), Mystic River Watershed Association (MRWA), Neponset River Watershed Association (NRWA), South Shore Chamber of Commerce (SSCC), Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and MWRA. The I/I Task Force recommends implementation of the regional I/I reduction goals and implementation strategies detailed in this report. The report outlines a regional I/I reduction plan with appropriate burdens and benefits for stakeholders. The report is intended to be a guidance document for use by local sewer communities, as well as other regional stakeholders, who may tailor appropriate aspects of the report recommendations to their unique situations. Severe storms in October 1996 and June 1998 led to the unusual circumstance of numerous sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from local and MWRA collection systems. In the aftermath of these events, EPA and DEP began an aggressive effort to make MWRA regulate flows from community sewer systems. MWRA recommended cooperative efforts by local collection system operators, as well as regulators and environmental advocates, would be more effective than a prescriptive, enforcement based approach.

  • Ssos and Csos What Are They and What Are We Doing About Them?
    SSOs and CSOs What are they and what are we doing about them? Don Kennedy – Training Coordinator James LaLiberte – Training Coordinator Combined sewers were introduced to the larger American cities in the mid-19th century. They were designed to dry out streets by collecting rainwater runoff, domestic sewage from newly invented flush toilets, and industrial wastewaters all in the same pipe. In dry weather, a combined sewer system sends a town’s entire volume of wastewater to a treatment plant, which treats and discharges to a waterway. The problems, generally, arise during heavy or extended rain events which can overload the system and seek relief. Such events can result in either a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO), a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO), or both. While both situations act as a relief for the system, one is intentional and the other is not. An SSO is an unintentional discharge of wastewater to the environment or personal property. SSOs are, generally, the result of poor sewer management and maintenance. Flow through sewer lines can be restricted by fats, oils and greases (FOG) or by tree roots. The system then does not have the capacity to handle a significant rain event, resulting in wastewater escaping through manholes, residences or businesses. TREE ROOTS IN SEWER Other contributors to the system are Inflow and Infiltration. These situations allow stormwater to enter the sewer system which shouldn’t. Infiltration - through bad joint or cracked pipes. Inflow – through illegal or unapproved connections, such as roof gutters, yard

  • Inflow and Infiltration Reduction in Sanitary Sewers
    Appendix E-4 – Inflow and Infiltration Reduction in Sanitary Sewers INFLOW AND INFILTRATION REDUCTION IN SANITARY SEWERS D.1 Introduction to RDII in Sanitary Sewers A properly designed, operated and maintained sanitary sewer system is meant to collect and convey all of the sewage that flows into it to a wastewater treatment plant. Rainfall dependent infiltration and inflow (RDII) into sanitary sewer systems has long been recognized as a major source of operating problems that cause poor performance of many sewer systems including system overflows. The extent of infiltration also correlates with the condition of aging sewers. The three major components of wet-weather wastewater flow into a sanitary system – base wastewater flow (BWWF), groundwater infiltration (GWI), and RDII are illustrated in Figure D-1 and are discussed below. Figure D-1: Three components of wet-weather wastewater flow BWWF, often called base sanitary flow, is the residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial flow discharged to a sanitary sewer system for collection and treatment. BWWF normally varies with water use patterns within a service area throughout a 24-hour period with higher flows during the morning period and lower during the night. In most cases, the average daily BWWF is more or less constant during a given day, but varies monthly and seasonally. BWWF often represents a significant portion of the flows treated at wastewater treatment facilities. GWI represents the infiltration of groundwater that enters the collection system through leaking pipes, pipe joints, and manhole walls. GWI varies throughout the year, often trending higher in late winter and spring as groundwater levels and soil moisture levels rise, and subsiding in late summer or after an extended dry period.

PO Box 3367 Gettysburg, PA 17325 www.pwea.org www.pwea.org Inflow & Infiltration “I&I” is a short acronym for a huge problem most sewer communities face, Inflow and Infiltration. Inflow occurs when rainwater is misdirected into the sanitary sewer system instead of storm sewers. Examples are: roof leaders, footer drains, sump pumps, manhole covers, and cross connections from storm drains. The remedy for inflow is to remove improper connections to the sanitary sewer system. Infiltration occurs when ground water seeps into the sanitary The worst impact of I&I is the likelihood You, as a homeowner, can reduce I&I sewer system through cracks or that the sewage can overflow out of the from your property. leaks in sewer pipes.

  • Standard Operating Procedure: Sanitary System Overflow Response
    Standard Operating Procedure: Sanitary System Overflow Response Date: 12/11/2019* Version: 4 Review Frequency: Annual Reasons for Procedure The University of Virginia (UVA) has a permit to operate a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. This permit authorizes UVA to discharge stormwater pursuant to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program and the Virginia Stormwater Management Act. Since storm drain systems are not connected to a sanitary sewer treatment plant, water traveling through the storm drain system flows directly to local streams, rivers and lakes untreated. An illicit discharge to the storm system is generally defined as any discharge that is not composed entirely of stormwater. UVA’s MS4 Program “shall include all procedures developed by the operator to detect, identify, and address nonstormwater discharges to the MS4.”1 1.0 Purpose The purpose of this procedure is to quickly and appropriately respond to a sanitary sewer system overflow (SSO). 2.0 Scope This procedure applies to the FM employees responding to sanitary sewer overflows or spills. 3.0 Responsibility 3.1 Facilities Management Environmental Resources Environmental Resources is responsible for responding to the scene of the SSO to document the event, its cause, and its clean up. ER staff will report the SSO to the DEQ as required and following DEQ reporting information as describe in section 7.0. 3.2 Managers The Utility System Distribution Manager is responsible for ensuring that employees are properly informed of and trained on how to follow the procedures. Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring training is conducted with the most recent version of the SOP.
