Port-Wide Sewer System Management Plan(SSMP) - Port of Oakland

As part of the GWDRs, all agencies that own or operate sanitary systems greater than one
mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a
publicly owned treatment facility are required to report Category 1 and Category 2 SSOs.
The reporting of Private Lateral Sewage Discharges is optional.
1.7 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
The GWDRs have established an SSMP implementation schedule based on the size of the
agency. As mentioned in Section 1.4, population estimates for the Port are difficult. It is
estimated that the Port currently serves a population of roughly 8,700. The Port’s
implementation schedule is therefore governed by the schedule established for agencies
ranging in size from 2,500 to 10,000 persons. Table 1.2 contains the implementation
schedule that must be followed by the Port in the development of this SSMP.
