Sanitary Sewer Overflows
Policy and Guidance Documents
- Agreement to Promote Green Infrastructure
EPA and four national groups signed a statement of intent to promote the use of green infrastructure to help solve stormwater runoff and sewer overflow problems. The statement of intent pledges cooperation among these groups to promote the use of various green infrastructure techniques such as rain gardens, bioretention cells, infiltration swales, green parking lot design, rain barrels, and many others. Today's agreement supplements an early statement supporting green infrastructure that has been signed by over 30 national groups.

- Guide for Evaluating Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance (CMOM) Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
This guide identifies some of the criteria used by EPA to evaluate a collection system's management, operation, and maintenance (CMOM) program activities. The guide is intended for use by EPA and
state inspectors as well as the regulated community--owners or operators of sewer systems collecting domestic sewage as well as consultants or other third-party evaluators or compliance assistance providers. Collection system owners or operators can review their own systems by following the checklist in Chapter 3 to reduce the occurrence of sewer overflows and improve or maintain compliance. This guide is applicable to small, medium, and large systems; both publicly and privately owned systems; and both regional and satellite collection systems. This publication was developed by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance (EPA 305-B-05-002).
