Job Aid Item: 1.7.b
Text: Hydraulic capacity of MSD system (BW / GW) is of sufficient capacity (VSSP / GP 1.4.1.15 NOI).
What to check for: Check the calculation of total flow against the capacity information given in the VSSP
or Notice of Intent. Check that flow did not exceed capacity.
Background: Flow that exceeds capacity of a treatment system could lead to overflow into the bilge,
system damage, or a system not being able to meet the effluent quality it was designed to meet. ADEC
has seen cases in the past of wastewater dumped into bilges or overboard because an MSD was not of
sufficient capacity.
