ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER Qrt~G~-
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2007
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SCHEDULE FOR SEWER SYSTEM
MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY
In accordance with the State Water Resources Control Board's Order No. 2006-0003-
DWQ, the City is required to develop and implement a Sewer System Management
Plan (SSMP) to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer
system, and mitigate any sewer overflows that may occur.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Development Plan and Schedule
for completing all the required elements of the Sewer System Management Plan.
ANALYSIS
On May 2, 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) adopted
Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ requiring all public agencies that own or operate a sanitary
sewer system comprised of more than one mile of pipes or sewer lines, which conveys
untreated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in the State of California, to
develop and implement a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) and to
electronically report all sanitary sewer overflows to the State Board's database.
Development of the SSMP will require extensive computer modeling, flow monitoring
and analysis of the entire sewer system to determine flow patterns, system capacity and
deficiencies, and identify and prioritize future sewer improvement projects. The analysis
will take into consideration the City's projected population growth and ultimate land use
as outline in the updated General Plan, especially the flow contributions from high-
density nodes such as multi-use developments. This analysis will provide the basis for
the SSMP.
The major elements of the SSMP will include the following:
• SSMP Goals and Organizational Structure
• Overflow Emergency Response Program
• Legal Authority
• Operations and Maintenance Program
