CASE STUDY: PROCESS FOR EVALUATING CSO CONTROL ABATEMENT ALTERNATIVES

Abstract

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's (NEORSD) Easterly Sewerage District includes approximately 15,000 acres of combined sewershed area. The system includes 31 combined sewer overflows (CSO) and 271 regulators. A CSO facilities planning study was initiated in January, 1998 to develop a long-term control plan (LTCP) that would establish the framework for bringing the District into compliance with EPA's CSO Control Policy. A systematic and comprehensive approach was developed and implemented for the evaluation of the CSO control alternatives. This evaluation process goes beyond the traditional cost-benefit analysis, considering both the cost and the non-cost issues that were deemed important by the project stakeholders.
