a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility incapable
of adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters
without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.

Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall not be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported

3300. Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I
of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first
knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that
the problem does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form)
can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
12. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is a unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting
documentation. This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests
will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to
completing and submitting the construction certification.
Permit issued this the 3rd day of June, 2008.
