FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Utilities Director
Prepared By: Bud Nance, Wastewater Collection Supervisor
SUBJECT: 2014 SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the 2014 Sanitary Sewer Management Plan Update and authorize the
City’s representative to recertify the plan with the State Water Resources Control Board.
DISCUSSION
Background
The SWRCB adopted statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR) for publicly
owned sanitary sewer systems in 2006. The GWDR required the development and
implementation of a system-specific local Sewer System Management Plan or SSMP that
documents a comprehensive program for sewer system operation, maintenance, repair and
reporting of all Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) in the statewide spill reporting database. The
City must maintain compliance with the requirements.
City Council adopted the original SSMP by Resolution on April 21, 2009. It has proven to be an
effective tool for tracking and monitoring the management of the wastewater collection system
and preventing SSOs.
2014 SSMP Update
The SSMP undergoes an internal audit at a minimum of every two years, and requires approval
by Council every five years or when the audit identifies a major change is needed. This update
includes the 2013 amendments to the GWDR for reporting SSOs which are outlined in Appendix
C. The next update is anticipated in 2019.
The 2014 Sewer System Management Plan Update was completed by City staff.
The following modifications were made as part of the 2014 update:
