1.5 CHARACTERIZATION OF SEPARATED STORM DRAINAGE AREAS<br />

Two new outfalls in East Boston have been added to the Commission’s drainage system,<br />

due to sewer separation projects, bringing the current total number of storm drain outfalls<br />

up to 206. Of those, 99 are classified as major outfalls, and 107 are classified as nonmajor<br />

outfalls. Table 1 – 1 is a list of the Commission’s outfalls.<br />

Table 1 – 2 lists areas with Commission owned storm drainage systems that do not<br />

discharge to an outfall, rather they discharge through a manhole to storm drains and<br />

outfalls owned by others.<br />

Currently the amount of area in Boston served by separated storm drains is 17,554 acres,<br />

or approximately 57 percent of Boston. The remainder of the area is served by<br />

combined sewers, sanitary sewers only, or is open space with no sewers or drains.<br />

storm drain outfalls and their tributary areas.<br />
