maritime sewer system, <strong>Port</strong> staff shall take steps to avoid the degradation <strong>of</strong> this body <strong>of</strong><br />
water.<br />
When it is determined to be feasible and safe, the <strong>Port</strong> shall collect and analyze samples <strong>of</strong><br />
the receiving waters for those SSOs that may imminently and substantially endanger<br />
human health and SSOs that cause fish kills. The <strong>Port</strong> shall exercise their best judgement<br />
to determine if sampling is appropriate on a case-by-case basis.<br />

7.2.3.1<br />
Primary Notification Procedures<br />
Calls from <strong>Port</strong> tenants or the public regarding potential overflows in Jack London Square<br />
or other commercial/real estate areas are generally received through the Commercial/Real<br />
Estate Representative. Should the Commercial/Real Estate Representative be unavailable,<br />
all calls regarding potential overflows are routed through the Operations Department (see<br />
Section 7.2.1).<br />
The Commercial/Real Estate Representative (or the telephone operator at the <strong>Port</strong><br />
Operations Department) then records the overflow information and forwards the information<br />
the Harbor Facilities Maintenance Department.<br />
<strong>Sewer</strong> overflows in Jack London Square or other commercial/real estate areas detected by<br />
<strong>Port</strong> staff in the course <strong>of</strong> their normal duties shall be reported immediately to the Harbor<br />
Facilities Maintenance Department.<br />
7.2.3.2<br />
SSO Response Program<br />
Failure <strong>of</strong> any element within the commercial/real estate sewer system that threatens to<br />
cause or causes a SSO will trigger an immediate response to isolate and correct the<br />
problem. Crews and equipment shall be available to respond to any SSO location and shall<br />
be dispatched to the site <strong>of</strong> a reported SSO immediately. Also, additional maintenance<br />
personnel shall be “on call” should extra crews be needed.<br />
Dispatching duties are normally performed by either the Maritime Maintenance/Construction<br />
Supervisor or the Utilities Supervisor, depending on the nature <strong>of</strong> the problem. Dispatching<br />
personnel should record all relevant overflow information and dispatch response crews, as<br />
needed.<br />
It is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the first personnel who arrive at the site <strong>of</strong> an overflow in the<br />
maritime area to protect the health and safety <strong>of</strong> the public to the extent possible. Maritime<br />
personnel are responsible for identifying the cause <strong>of</strong> the overflow, requesting additional<br />
resources as needed, taking steps to contain or divert the overflow, and taking steps to stop<br />
the overflow if possible.<br />
