The conditions of this permit stipulate that the Village complete a CSO Operations and Maintenance Plan, Pollution Prevention Plan and Public Notification Plan.The collective purpose of these documents is to demonstrate a strategy to comply with the nine minimum control measures contained in the National CSO Control Policy published in the Federal Register. The nine minimum control measures include: 1.Proper operation and regular maintenance programs for the sewer system and CSO outfalls. 2.Maximum use of the collection system for storage. 3.Review and modification of pretreatment requirements to ensure that CSO impacts are minimized. 4.Maximization of flow to wastewater treatment plants. 5.Elimination of CSOs during dry weather. 6.Control of solid and floatable materials in CSOs. 7.Pollution prevention programs to reduce containments in CSOs. 8.Public notification to ensure that the public receives adequate notification of CSO occurrences and CSO impacts. 9.Monitoring to effectively characterize CSO impacts and the efficacy of CSO controls. Our CSO NPDES permit also requires us to introduce these plans at a public meeting and avail stakeholders an opportunity to comment. To that end, appropriate staff, along with our environmental consultant, Marcy Knyz of Cardno JFNew, will be in attendance to present the key components of these plans and facilitate pertinent discussion.
