SSMP Development and Implementation

The Delta Diablo Sanitation District is developing and implementing a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) pursuant to State Water Resources Control Board Order 2006-0003, Statewide General Discharge Requirements of Sanitary Sewer Systems. The goal of the SSMP is to minimize the frequency and severity of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's). The SSMP will cover the management, planning, design, and operation of the District's sanitary sewer system.

The development process will begin in January 2007 and it is expected to be complete by August 2008. The duration of the implementation is unknown at this time. The SSMP Development plan and schedule are available for review at the DDSD Treatment Plant, 2500 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, during normal business hours. Interested parties can contact Mike Dixon, Maintenance Manager, at 925-756-1921 for additional information.

Sanitary Sewer System Performance

Effective May 2007, the District reports SSO's electronically to the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). The electronic SSO data, as well as information regarding regulatory actions, is available at: www.waterboards.ca.gov/ciwqs/publicreports.html .
