WET WEATHER FLOW MANAGEMENT Pr. AN Federal SSO regulations: These regulations are currently being developed and should be monitored for their potential impact to the WWFMP. Distribution of costs: Because Eugene and Springfield own, operate, and maintain their own collection systems but contribute to a regionally managed interceptor and treatment system, equitable distribution of costs was considered. The CAC recommended that improvements to each city's collection system required to prevent SSOs within each individual city should funded by that dty. Costs to manage the remaining excess flow that is delivered to the plant should be a regional cost. Developing technologies: Both cities should continue to explore developing technologies and policies in the areas of public and private system pipeline rehabilitation, I/I source detection and monitoring, and other means to reduce future contn'bution of I/I from both ,- the existing and newly consh~tcted systems. Program implementation within each city:. Each city should have flexfl~ility to implement program elements as best meets its needs as long as WWFMP assumptions are not violated or inconsistencies are created between cities. Plan re-evaluation: The CAC.wanted to be sure th_at there was a defined process for monitoring the implementation of the plan and the performance of the system over time. The plan should be viewed as a flexible, dynamic program that can be adjusted as addi- tional data are obtained and system performance observed. To comply with this request, a performance review procedure has been developed that identifies system performance characteristics and associated actions tobe taken. This procedure is defined in Section 7, Implementation Plan. The procedure should be performed on an ongoing basis; however; by June 2004 it is desir~cl that staff provide a formal assessment of system pedormance to the MWMC and the governing bodies. $.5 Public Feedback Two open houses were held to descn~ the project to the public and reCeX've Comments on WWFMP recommendations. The open houses were held on July 17 and 18, 2000. The meeting on july 17 was held at the City Hall Library Conference Room in Sp 'nn~eld; the meeting On July 18 was at the Hilyard Community Center in Eugene. A significant amount of project material was presented in a poster session format. Poster topics included: · List of CAC members · Background material describing the reason for preparing the plan · An overview of the two cities' wastewater collection systems · .An overview of the magnitude of sanitary sewer flow produced in the system and delivered to the treatment plant · A description of the options considered to manage excess flows in the system · Criteria for alternatives evaluated through the course of the project USR/0036'/2330.DOC
