Q. 1.25 Why only a 6 month flow
monitoring period? Winter is very unpredictable regarding rainfall.
A. The wetness conditions of the soils vary significantly from spring to
summer, and monitoring from March through August is typically adequate to
measure the impact that this variation has on wet weather flows in the sanitary
sewer system. We also have a long period of record at the WWTP (over 10 years)
to assess long-term system performance. Winter events are not usually used in
the analysis because there are enough other events during the six-month period
to accurately quantify the flows.
