The Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) provides a comprehensive strategy for reducing CSO events and achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act. It includes a phased approach to system improvements, starting with Phase One (2024-2027). This phase focuses on monitoring CSO locations, implementing public participation programs, exploring storage solutions, and analyzing “smart” sewer technologies. The document evaluates alternatives, such as sewer separation and above-ground storage, to mitigate overflow issues. The LTCP also sets goals for ongoing monitoring, sensitive area assessments, and post-construction evaluations to ensure long-term environmental benefits.
