day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following:
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.
Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division of Emergency

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 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 an 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.
