Guide for Evaluating Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance (CMOM) Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
This guide identifies some of the criteria used by EPA to evaluate a collection system's management, operation, and maintenance (CMOM) program activities. The guide is intended for use by EPA and state inspectors as well as the regulated community--owners or operators of sewer systems collecting domestic sewage as well as consultants or other third-party evaluators or compliance assistance providers. Collection system owners or operators can review their own systems by following the checklist in Chapter 3 to reduce the occurrence of sewer overflows and improve or maintain compliance. This guide is applicable to small, medium, and large systems; both publicly and privately owned systems; and both regional and satellite collection systems. This publication was developed by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (EPA 305-B-05-002). URL: http://www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/cmom_guide_for_collection_systems.pdf Rate this site!
