OVERVIEW
On May 2, 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted the Statewide General Waste Discharge
Requirements (WDRs) for publicly owned sanitary sewer systems with greater than one mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in California. Under WDRs, the owners of such systems must comply with the following requirements:
1. Acquire an online account from the State Water Board and
report all
sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) online.
2. Develop and implement a written plan called a Sewer System
Management Plan (SSMP) to control and mitigate SSOs and make it
available to any member of the public upon request in writing.
Los Angeles acquired online accounts from the State Water
Board and began reporting of overflows as of the State
due date of January 2, 2007. The City has ongoing programs
in place that are designed to meet City policies as adopted
by the City Council and its mission to protect public health
and the environment by controlling and mitigating sewer overflows
and odors. These programs are in line with the WDRs objectives
and are described in detail in the City's Sewer
System Management Plan. The City's overall system consists
of three sanitary sewer systems as follows:
