1 City of Springfield, Illinois Office of Public Works Sewer Division 2012 Sewer Overflow Report April 24,

2 Table of Contents 1. PURPOSE... 3 APPENDIX A. City of Springfield 2012 SSO Report

3 1. PURPOSE This report has been complied to describe Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) for the calendar year 2012 which occurred in the City of Springfield, Illinois. A SSO is defined as an overflow, spill, release, or diversion of wastewater from a sanitary sewer system, including interceptor sewers. A SSO includes overflows that result in a discharge to waters of the United States and overflows of wastewater, including a wastewater backup into a building (other than a backup caused solely by a blockage or other malfunction in a privately owned sewer or building lateral), even if that overflow does not reach waters of the United States. As a part of the Administrative Order from the USEPA, the City is required to provide an inventory of all SSO s for the previous year, identify the dates, sources, estimated volumes, receiving waters and principal pollutants contained in the discharges. The City is also required to issue a press release informing the public of the availability of the inventory and make the inventories available on the City s webpage. The City did not experience any significant wet weather events in 2012 which would have triggered the use of portable pumps to relieve the sanitary sewer. There were 42 reported and confirmed SSO s all but one of which were basement backups. The source of the backup in all 42 instances was from the sanitary sewer. There are no estimates of volumes available for these discharges as this information was not part of our record keeping at the time. As these SSO s were primarily basement backups, there are no receiving waters. The principal pollutants contained in the discharge would be domestic sewage. Work Order Number resulted in sewage in the parking lot which was washed down and vacuumed up. See Appendix A for the location, date and action taken information for each of the reported SSO s. 3
