This project implements recommendations in the city's Wet Weather Management Plan and Combined Sewer Long Term Control Plan - Interim (2010) Plan Update that was approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) on March 7, 2008. The projects main environmental advantage is a reduction in combined sewer and sanitary sewer overflow volumes into the Olentangy and Scioto rivers during an average year of rainfall. A reduction in both frequency and volume of combined sewer overflows is achieved from modifying regulators to capture more wet weather flow for transport and treatment at the Jackson Pike and Southerly wastewater treatment plants.
