Sewer System Management Plan 2018

This SSMP has been prepared in compliance with the requirements contained in State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) General Order No. 2006-0003- DWQ. This order was adopted at its meeting on May 2, 2006 to require all public wastewater collection system agencies in California with greater than one mile of sewers to be regulated under General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR). The SWRCB action also mandates the development of an SSMP and the reporting of sewer system overflows (SSOs) using an electronic reporting system. On July 30, 2013, Attachment A to the Order which became effective on September 9, 2013, amended the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) to the GWDR. Together these documents constitute the “SSS WDR”.

This SSMP was originally adopted in July 2009 and was updated in 2013, 2016, and 2018. A history of changes and amendments to the SSMP since the City’s first adoption in 2009 is included in the SSMP Change Log in Appendix G.
