<br /> <br />Appendix A – Long Term Control Plan <br />[Section 1 of the original Appendix A to the Consent Decree is deleted and replaced in its entirety by the <br />following new Section 1] <br />Section 1: CSO Control Measures <br />1.1 Long Term Control Plan Goals and Requirements <br />The St. Joseph River is the reason for the City’s location and the source of its name. Over time it has <br />transitioned from the physical driver for industry to a developing centerpiece for recreation and <br />entertainment. The river connects many of the City’s parks and trails and is home to the East Race <br />Waterway, the first man-made whitewater rafting course built in North America. <br />South Bend is fully committed to the continued implementation of a Long-term Control Plan to protect <br />the St. Joseph River and achieve compliance with the Clean Water Act consistent with the principles set <br />forth in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policy. Key <br />among those principle are the identification and implementation of community specific and cost-effective <br />CSO controls necessary to meet Clean Water Act objectives and requirements. <br />CSO Control Measures Description, Design Criteria, Performance Criteria4 and Implementation <br />Schedule <br /> <br />Project Description, Design Criteria, and Performance Criteria Start Date End <br />Date <br />WWTP Improvements Expansion of the South Bend WWTP to provide peak wet <br />weather capacity of 100 mgd. <br />07/2021 12/2029 <br />CSO 029 Lift Station Modification Increase lift station capacity to 250 gpm (0.55 mgd) 09/2021 12/2024 <br />WWTP Storage, Site Piping and <br />Controls <br />Equalization basin and dewatering pumping station. <br />Minimum size of 2.0 million gallons. <br />12/2021 12/2025 <br />WWTP Storage, Site Piping and <br />Controls <br />Re-routing of existing sewers to accommodate proposed <br />equalization basin. <br />01/2025 12/2029 <br />Randolph-Sampson RTB and Site <br />Piping <br />Below grade retention treatment basin and pumping <br />station with provisions for screening, <br />disinfection/dechlorination of overflow.
