Storm and Combined Sewer Overflow - An Overview of EPA's Research Program

Abstract

The report represents an overview of the EPA's Storm and Combined Sewer Pollution Control Research Program performed over a 20-year period beginning with the mid-1960s. It covers Program involvements in the development of a diverse technology including pollution-problem assessment/solution methodology and associated instrumentation and stormwater management models, best management practices, erosion control, infiltration/inflow control, control-treatment technology and the associated sludge and solids residuals handling, and many others.

The report is a handy reference for the user community faced with the challenges and mandates to combat urban wet-weather-induced water pollution. It comprises the gamut of environmental engineering requirements from pollution problem assessment to management and control planning and design.

This document is also available for purchase throught the National Technical Information Service web site.
