The purpose of these <br />activities is to: <br /> <br />1. Maintain and improve the condition of the collection system infrastructure, <br /> <br />2. Control infiltration/inflow (I/I) and provide appropriate sewer capacity, and to <br /> <br />3. Minimize the number and impact of sanitary sewer overflows (S80s) that occur. <br /> <br />The State. Water Resources Control Board (SWB) has issued statewide waste <br />discharge requirements for sanitary sewer systems which include requirements for <br />development of an SSMP. The State Water Board requirements are outlined in Order <br />No. 2006-0003-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary <br />Sewer Systems, dated May 2,2006 (SWB SSO WDR). <br /> <br />The SSMP is also required by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control <br />Board (RWB). Requirements are outlined in the Sewer System Management Plan <br />Development Guide dated July 2005, by the RWQCB in cooperation with the Bay Area <br />Clean Water Agencies (BACWA). <br /> <br />This SSMP includes the elements required by both the SWB and RWB;:.. There are <br />some differences in the requirements and in the organization of the elements between <br />the programs. The difference in organization is outlined in Table 1 t below. This SSMP <br />is organized following the SWB SSO WDR; Table 1 identifies the corresponding <br />sections in the RWB SSMP Development Guide. Both SWB and RWB SSMP <br />requirements are included and addressed in each element. <br />
