EPA Rulemaking On Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems

EPA has announced a proposed rulemaking outlining a broad-based regulatory framework for sanitary sewer collection systems under the NPDES program. The Agency is considering proposing standard permit conditions for inclusion in permits for publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and municipal sanitary sewer collection systems.

The standard requirements are expected to address reporting, public notification, and recordkeeping requirements for sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), capacity assurance, management, operation and maintenance requirements for municipal sanitary sewer collection systems; and a prohibition on SSOs. EPA plans to hold public meeting on the proposed rulemaking in June and July 2010, and expected to publish a draft rule in September 2011.
