Guide to Managing Peak Wet Weather Flows in Municipal Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems is intended for owners, planners, designers, and operators of wastewater collection and treatment systems and provides information for making decisions on how to improve sewerage performance during wet weather.
This guide outlines an approach for the analysis of collection and treatment of wastewater flows during wet weather conditions, leading to development of sound and effective practices for municipal facility planning, design, and operation for optimum management of wet weather flows. It provides a method for publicly owned treatment works to be more proactive in planning for wet weather flows and describes a process that can be used to build support for real-world solutions that effectively use resources to improve water quality. Published by WEF. Electronic Download (pdf). 103 pages. 2006.
Contents:
- Introduction
- Principles for Wet Weather Management
- Guidance Practices
The Introduction section presents background information, the purpose of the guide, a glossary of terms, and a list of acronyms and abbreviations.
The Principles for Wet Weather Management section includes three key elements upon which the guide was developed: a wet weather management framework, a list of wet weather management principles that emphasize a holistic planning approach and recognize experience-based criteria, and a method for applying proven risk-management concepts to the definition of wet weather performance objectives.
Guidance Practices describes generally accepted practices that were compiled by gathering information from wet weather management practitioners. The section is organized into subsections about planning, management, and operating and maintaining, all key components of overall management activities.
Development of the guide was made possible by Water Quality Cooperative Agreement CP-83185001-0 between the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The document was prepared by CH2M HILL, Inc., and Water Resources Strategies under the guidance of a project steering committee composed of WEF members.
