• Clean Water Act Section 301(a) -
Prohibits discharge of pollutantsfrom point source into waters ofUnited States, except in Compliancewith a permit issued pursuant toNational Pollutant DischargeElimination System (NPDES)program.
• EPA’s 1994 CSO Control Policy –
Most CSO communities are required to develop and implement a Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) to restore and protect water quality.

• Timeframe - 25-year implementation of Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP)
• Commitment - $1.2B net present value (represents $2.4B capital construction plus operating and maintenance costs, in terms of actual future expenditures)
• Goal - Capture of 85% by volume of the combined sewage collected in the CSS
How? – Greened AcresGreened Acre represents 1 acre of impervious cover within the combined sewer service area that has at least the first inch of runoff managed by stormwater infrastructure.

• Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) -
Soil-water-plant systems that intercept stormwater, infiltrate a portion of it into the ground, evaporate a portion of it into the air, and in some cases release a portion of it slowly back into the sewer system (PWD).
• Stormwater Management Practice (SMP) –
Any man-made or natural structure, system, landscape feature, channel, or improvement designed, constructed, installed, and/or used to detain, infiltrate, or otherwise control stormwater runoff quality, rate, or quantity (PWD).

• As-built verification is key• Inspection planning is necessary• No. 1 Inspection Issue – Site access
/ Owner Permission• “High-water mark” = good indicator
of the health of SMP• Snouts/traps reduce debris
significantly = Pre-treatment• Site use determines the performance
of porous pavement systems• Subsurface Infiltration – GPR
• Key Factors for Performance -• Construction Inspection• Long-term maintenance • Pre-treatment• Outlet structure design
