My protest was filed in compliance with WV Code $24-2-4B(c)(2) I am a customer of the Point Pleasant municipal sanitary sewer system as defined by WV Code $24- 1-2 and WV CSR 150-2-222b Attachment 1 -- utility bill I do reside within the corporate boundaries of the municipality of Henderson WV I do not reside within the municipal boundaries of Point Pleasant WV The municipality of Point Pleasant provides sanitary sewer service to the municipality of Henderson The sanitary sewer rate ordinance adopted by Point Pleasant City Council December 82008 discriminates against sanitary sewer customers outside the corporate limits of Point Pleasant by imposing a $150 per thousand gallon charge for the implementation of their federally mandated Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) prepared for Point Pleasant by Burgess and Niple and also adopted by Point Pleasant City Council September 82008 The Point Pleasant LTCP only identifies and proposes solutions for CSO issues confined to the corporate limits and surface drainage area of Point Pleasant The majority of the costs for LTCP implementation are for the controltreatmentmanagement of stormwater after it has been separated from the sanitary sewer in Point Pleasant See Attachments 2 3 4 Henderson does not contribute the CSO problem(s) of the Point Pleasant sewer system due to 1 Topographical limitation Henderson is located on the south side of the Kanawha River Point Pleasant is located on the north side of the Kanawha River (Attachment 7) 2 The portion of the Point Pleasant sewer system that serves the municipality of Henderson is neither identified in the Point Pleasant LTCP as a Combined Sewer System (CSS) nor is it designated as a contributing element of the Point Pleasant CSO problems listed in the LTCP Point Pleasant City Council approved two contracts with their engineering firm Burgess and Niple at their Dec 82008 meeting (Attachment 6) One contract was for surveymapping work to establish the route for a stormwater drainway (North Drainage Project) located between 28fh Street and Crooked Creek within the city limits of Point Pleasant at a cost of $25700 The other contract was for design work on the North Drainage Project at a cost of $38400 Point Pleasant expects to pay the cost of these contracts with the proceeds of the $1 S O per 1000 gallons CSOstormwater charge on its sanitary sewer customers (see Attachment 9) The sanitary sewer customers in Henderson will receive no direct benefit from a stormwater controlmanagement project in Point Pleasant and the costs associated with such a stormwater project should be recovered through a stormwater fee applied to customers within the corporate limitddrainage area of Point Pleasant Henderson sanitary sewer customers should not be forced to subsidize a stormwater controlmanagement project in Point Pleasant In 2005 Point Pleasantrsquos engineering firm Burgess and Niple suggested Point Pleasant create a Stormwater Utility to impose a stormwater fee to pay for a project such as the North Drainage Project See Attachment 5 WV Code 8-16-1 et seq WV Code 16-13-1 et seq
Page 2 of 2 9 Neither the PSC Staff nor the municipality of Point Pleasant address the issue of Point Pleasant
stormwater controlmanagement costs being billed to Henderson sanitary sewer customers as sanitary sewer costs The imposition of a $1501000 gallon CSOLTCPstormwater charge on sanitary sewage for implementation of the Point Pleasant LTCPstormwater controVmanagement project clearly discriminates between sanitary sewer customers within and without the municipal boundaries of Point Pleasant
10 The municipality of Point Pleasant precluded informed discussion of their cost of providing sanitary sewer service to their customers by failing to file their Annual Report for 2007-2008 with the WV Public Service Commission in a timely manner
analysis to identify classes of service and the costs to provide those classes of service in order to justify the sanitary sewer rate increase particularly the LTCPCSOstormwater charge I have no objection to Point Pleasant increasing their sanitary sewer rate to provide sanitary sewer service maintenance repairs and pay their employees a reasonable wage as long as the charges are properly justified and costs associated with stormwater controlmanagement are properly allocated to not discriminate against the sanitary sewer customers in Henderson
12 It should be noted that Point Pleasant City Council voted to apply to IJDC for funding of the North Drainage Project in March 2007 but has yet to do so Attachment 8
1 1 As far as I can determine the municipality of Point Pleasant failed to perform a cost of service
For the above stated reasons I ask that the PSC Staff recommendation(s) and Point Pleasantrsquos motion to dismiss my protest be rejected PSC jurisdiction in this matter be affirmed and the PSC review of Point Pleasantrsquos sanitary sewer rate ordinance be allowed proceed

11 Geneml Information
The City of Point Pleasant (City) is a combined sewer system (CSS) community of approximafely
4637 people located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in Mason County West Virginia
The City operates their wastewater treatment plant under WVNPDES Permit WV0022039 The plant is
provided an NPDES permitted flow of 070 million gallons per day (MGD)
Any issues associated with the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) cm be addressed by Mr Bruce Chapman Class 11 Operator at

In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency PA) issued a national policy statement entitled ldquoCombined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policyrdquo The purpose of this policy was to
establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPUES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges demonstrate
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which
evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards suthority responsible
for reviewing the long-tern control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple he (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing
the long-term control plan Cunently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO locations are summarized below
10 SUMMARY
The City of Point Pleasant is reportedly experiencing less than 6 CSO events per year To verify
all events are detected the City wit1 install flow meters in both CSOs on or before June 302009 In addition to the tlow meters the City will also install an automatic rain gauge The City will begin water
quality monitoring to verify if CSO discharges if any are having a negative impact on the receiving
stream This will be completed on or before December 3 I 2010
The City currently has two permitted CSO outfalls A summary of the CSOs and the proposed
implementation schedule is provided below
CSO 00lA - A flow meter will be installed in CSO 00 IA to measure the frequency and duration of overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation
will be completed by December 3 I 20 10 CSO 00 I A will remain in place and fully operational
CSO 002 - A flow meter will be instalied in CSO 002 to measure the frequency and duration of
overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation will be completed by December 3 I 2010 CSO 002 will remain in place and fully operational

for reviewing the long-term control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers
Page 2-2 -
City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

26400 lineal feet of 12-inch
15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

City of PoitJt Pleasatit Lorig Term Control Pkrr Augtisl 2008
50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Page 2 of 2 9 Neither the PSC Staff nor the municipality of Point Pleasant address the issue of Point Pleasant
stormwater controlmanagement costs being billed to Henderson sanitary sewer customers as sanitary sewer costs The imposition of a $1501000 gallon CSOLTCPstormwater charge on sanitary sewage for implementation of the Point Pleasant LTCPstormwater controVmanagement project clearly discriminates between sanitary sewer customers within and without the municipal boundaries of Point Pleasant
10 The municipality of Point Pleasant precluded informed discussion of their cost of providing sanitary sewer service to their customers by failing to file their Annual Report for 2007-2008 with the WV Public Service Commission in a timely manner
analysis to identify classes of service and the costs to provide those classes of service in order to justify the sanitary sewer rate increase particularly the LTCPCSOstormwater charge I have no objection to Point Pleasant increasing their sanitary sewer rate to provide sanitary sewer service maintenance repairs and pay their employees a reasonable wage as long as the charges are properly justified and costs associated with stormwater controlmanagement are properly allocated to not discriminate against the sanitary sewer customers in Henderson
12 It should be noted that Point Pleasant City Council voted to apply to IJDC for funding of the North Drainage Project in March 2007 but has yet to do so Attachment 8
1 1 As far as I can determine the municipality of Point Pleasant failed to perform a cost of service
For the above stated reasons I ask that the PSC Staff recommendation(s) and Point Pleasantrsquos motion to dismiss my protest be rejected PSC jurisdiction in this matter be affirmed and the PSC review of Point Pleasantrsquos sanitary sewer rate ordinance be allowed proceed

In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency PA) issued a national policy statement entitled ldquoCombined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policyrdquo The purpose of this policy was to
establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPUES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges demonstrate
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which
evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards suthority responsible
for reviewing the long-tern control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple he (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing
the long-term control plan Cunently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO locations are summarized below
10 SUMMARY
The City of Point Pleasant is reportedly experiencing less than 6 CSO events per year To verify
all events are detected the City wit1 install flow meters in both CSOs on or before June 302009 In addition to the tlow meters the City will also install an automatic rain gauge The City will begin water
quality monitoring to verify if CSO discharges if any are having a negative impact on the receiving
stream This will be completed on or before December 3 I 2010
The City currently has two permitted CSO outfalls A summary of the CSOs and the proposed
implementation schedule is provided below
CSO 00lA - A flow meter will be installed in CSO 00 IA to measure the frequency and duration of overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation
will be completed by December 3 I 20 10 CSO 00 I A will remain in place and fully operational
CSO 002 - A flow meter will be instalied in CSO 002 to measure the frequency and duration of
overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation will be completed by December 3 I 2010 CSO 002 will remain in place and fully operational

To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

Page 3-1
32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge

Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

stormwater controlmanagement costs being billed to Henderson sanitary sewer customers as sanitary sewer costs The imposition of a $1501000 gallon CSOLTCPstormwater charge on sanitary sewage for implementation of the Point Pleasant LTCPstormwater controVmanagement project clearly discriminates between sanitary sewer customers within and without the municipal boundaries of Point Pleasant
10 The municipality of Point Pleasant precluded informed discussion of their cost of providing sanitary sewer service to their customers by failing to file their Annual Report for 2007-2008 with the WV Public Service Commission in a timely manner
analysis to identify classes of service and the costs to provide those classes of service in order to justify the sanitary sewer rate increase particularly the LTCPCSOstormwater charge I have no objection to Point Pleasant increasing their sanitary sewer rate to provide sanitary sewer service maintenance repairs and pay their employees a reasonable wage as long as the charges are properly justified and costs associated with stormwater controlmanagement are properly allocated to not discriminate against the sanitary sewer customers in Henderson
12 It should be noted that Point Pleasant City Council voted to apply to IJDC for funding of the North Drainage Project in March 2007 but has yet to do so Attachment 8
1 1 As far as I can determine the municipality of Point Pleasant failed to perform a cost of service
For the above stated reasons I ask that the PSC Staff recommendation(s) and Point Pleasantrsquos motion to dismiss my protest be rejected PSC jurisdiction in this matter be affirmed and the PSC review of Point Pleasantrsquos sanitary sewer rate ordinance be allowed proceed

In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency PA) issued a national policy statement entitled ldquoCombined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policyrdquo The purpose of this policy was to
establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPUES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges demonstrate
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which
evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards suthority responsible
for reviewing the long-tern control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple he (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing
the long-term control plan Cunently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO locations are summarized below
10 SUMMARY
The City of Point Pleasant is reportedly experiencing less than 6 CSO events per year To verify
all events are detected the City wit1 install flow meters in both CSOs on or before June 302009 In addition to the tlow meters the City will also install an automatic rain gauge The City will begin water
quality monitoring to verify if CSO discharges if any are having a negative impact on the receiving
stream This will be completed on or before December 3 I 2010
The City currently has two permitted CSO outfalls A summary of the CSOs and the proposed
implementation schedule is provided below
CSO 00lA - A flow meter will be installed in CSO 00 IA to measure the frequency and duration of overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation
will be completed by December 3 I 20 10 CSO 00 I A will remain in place and fully operational
CSO 002 - A flow meter will be instalied in CSO 002 to measure the frequency and duration of
overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation will be completed by December 3 I 2010 CSO 002 will remain in place and fully operational

To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency PA) issued a national policy statement entitled ldquoCombined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policyrdquo The purpose of this policy was to
establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPUES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges demonstrate
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which
evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards suthority responsible
for reviewing the long-tern control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple he (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing
the long-term control plan Cunently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO locations are summarized below
10 SUMMARY
The City of Point Pleasant is reportedly experiencing less than 6 CSO events per year To verify
all events are detected the City wit1 install flow meters in both CSOs on or before June 302009 In addition to the tlow meters the City will also install an automatic rain gauge The City will begin water
quality monitoring to verify if CSO discharges if any are having a negative impact on the receiving
stream This will be completed on or before December 3 I 2010
The City currently has two permitted CSO outfalls A summary of the CSOs and the proposed
implementation schedule is provided below
CSO 00lA - A flow meter will be installed in CSO 00 IA to measure the frequency and duration of overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation
will be completed by December 3 I 20 10 CSO 00 I A will remain in place and fully operational

To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency PA) issued a national policy statement entitled ldquoCombined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policyrdquo The purpose of this policy was to
establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPUES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges demonstrate
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which
evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards suthority responsible
for reviewing the long-tern control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple he (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing
the long-term control plan Cunently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO locations are summarized below
10 SUMMARY

all events are detected the City wit1 install flow meters in both CSOs on or before June 302009 In addition to the tlow meters the City will also install an automatic rain gauge The City will begin water
quality monitoring to verify if CSO discharges if any are having a negative impact on the receiving
stream This will be completed on or before December 3 I 2010
The City currently has two permitted CSO outfalls A summary of the CSOs and the proposed
implementation schedule is provided below
CSO 00lA - A flow meter will be installed in CSO 00 IA to measure the frequency and duration of overflow events by June 302009 A twelve (12) month water quality monitoring evaluation

To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

The City of Point Pleasant (City) is a combined sewer system (CSS) community of approximately
4637 people located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in Mason County West Virginia The City operates their wastewater treatment plant under WVINPDES Permit WV0022039 The plant is
provided an NPDES permitted flow of 070 million gallons per day (MGD)
Any issues associated with the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) can be addressed by Mr Bruce
Chapman Class II Operator at
City of Point Pleasant 400 Viand Street
Point Pleasant WV 25550 (304) 675-2680
(304) 674-8005 (fax) sewerdant suddenlinkmail corn
In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a national policy statement entitled Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policy4 The purpose of this policy was to establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elittunalion System (NPDES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges dernonstrntc
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards authority responsible
for reviewing the long-term control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Description Receiving Stream Latitude Longitude znd Street Kanawha River 3890 IS 8 2 O 0 8 1 I
Southern States Lift Station Ohio River 385 123 8208 12
The City of Point Pleasant (City) is a combined sewer system (CSS) community of approximately
4637 people located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in Mason County West Virginia The City operates their wastewater treatment plant under WVINPDES Permit WV0022039 The plant is
provided an NPDES permitted flow of 070 million gallons per day (MGD)
Any issues associated with the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) can be addressed by Mr Bruce
Chapman Class II Operator at
City of Point Pleasant 400 Viand Street
Point Pleasant WV 25550 (304) 675-2680
(304) 674-8005 (fax) sewerdant suddenlinkmail corn
In 1994 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a national policy statement entitled Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policy4 The purpose of this policy was to establish a consistent approach for controlling CSO discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elittunalion System (NPDES) The major provisions of the CSO Control Policy required CSO permittees
such as Point Pleasant to accurately characterize their CSS and CSO discharges dernonstrntc
implementation of minimum technology-based controls and develop long-term CSO control plans which evaluate alternatives for achieving compliance with the Clean Water Act The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is the NPDES and water quality standards authority responsible
for reviewing the long-term control plans and ensuring consistency with the CSO Control Policy
To this end Burgess amp Niple Inc (BampN) has been retained by the City to assist in developing the long-term control plan Currently the City has two permitted CSO locations The permitted CSO
locations are summarized below
City of Poitrt Pleasant Lorrg Term Control PIart Airgrist 2008
Page 2-1
Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Appendix A contains a map of the above CSO locations
The City originally had three CSOs but one was capped in 2002 due to it being inactive
for a long period of time No sewer separation or inflowhfiltration reduction was necessary to
remove this CSO from service
The City has no screening device or backflow prevention device on their CSOs The
discharge pipe for each CSO is below the normal pool elevation of the receiving stream CSO 00 1A discharges at the same point as the WWTP effluent discharge point There is a gate valve
on this line that will keep river water from backing up into the system Therefore no bacldlow
prevention device is needed on this CSO However due to the possibility of the river backing up
into the system through CSO 002 the City has proposed to install a duck bill backflow
prevention device on this CSO
The average dry weather sanitary flow seen through the wastewater treatment plant is 035 MGD
The plant has a primary capacity and secondary capacity of I S O MGD and 070 MGD respectively
Thc City detects their CSO events by visual observations The City inspects the CSOs every day
and during and after each rain event During 2006 the City experienced no wet wenther cvcnts and no dry weather events In 2007 the City cxpcricnced no wet weather events and for a portion of 2008
(January to June) the City expeticnecd 3 wet weather events During each event documented in 2008
both CSOs discharged No dry weather events were detected in 2007 or 2008 During this time CSOs were activated with a I inch rain event The City experienced an increase in number of wet weather
events between 2007 and 2008 However it appears the City is experiencing overflow events due to tion-
typical storm events
The City has a long-term administrative commitment to providing for properly trained personnel
ongoing CSO program and capital spcnding Their efforts include funds available from the general
budget to make CSO improvements annual training for personnel continued efforts associated with the prepnration of the Long Term Control Plan and proposed capital improvements associated with the
separation of sewers

City f Point PIeasanr Lorig Term Control Plan Aiigusl 2008
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

26400 lineal feet of 12-inch
15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

Page 3-1
32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly
Cfty of Point Pleasatit Lorrg Teriti Contrui Plait Arrgrcst 2008
Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

httpwww mydailyregistercomprinter-friendly 1 9239 8 1 2112009
The City has no device in place to measure flow from the CSOs Therefore the City has no
estimated annual volume of CSO discharges However the City plans to purchase and install two
flow monitors in their wastewater collection system along with an automatic rain gauge
The results of the water quality evaluation are included in Appendix B
There has not been any substantial change in the Cityrsquos customer base
The existing equipment in [he wastewater collection rtnd treatment system appears to be in good
working order The City maintains spare pumps and generators at the WWTP
The City faces the future issue of trying to secure funding to finance the proposed improvements outlined in the Long Term Control Plan
The wastcwater treatment plant components consist of a mechanical har screen grit removal
facilities two (2) aeration chambers with a volume of 350000 gallons each ultraviolet Iight disinfection
facilities an aerated sludge holding tank with a total volume of 80300 gallons and a sludge dewatering
belt press
The City currently has a five man wnstewatcr crew (two men operate the wastewater treatment plant and three men maintain the collection system and lift siations) If needed plant employees (opcrators) will provide the sewer crew with assistance
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low
lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed from 26Kh to 2SCh Street
The City of Point Pleasant wastewater collection system is an aging system comprised of 85
clay and 15 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material of which is in average condition The system consists of
approximately
500 lineal feet of 6-inchrsquo
26400 lineal feet of 8-inch

26400 lineal feet of 12-inch
15840 lineal feet of 15-inch
10560 lineal feet of IS-inch and
5280 lineal feet of 24-inch
The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites
Clsquoio ojlsquo Point Pleasant Lorig Term Conlrnl P l m August 2558
Page 3-1
32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly
Cfty of Point Pleasatit Lorrg Teriti Contrui Plait Arrgrcst 2008
Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

City of PoitJt Pleasatit Lorig Term Control Pkrr Augtisl 2008
50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

The City believes they have a failing collection system due to age However at this time it is
unclear on how much replacement is necessary The City has prioritized the area from 231d to 26Ih Street
between Lincoln and Madison Avenue as being the area in most need of improvements This is a portion
of the collection system considered for improvements as discussed below
A current project being undertaken by the City is the investigation of ongoing storm drainage problems in certain Low-lying areas The City of Point Pleasant is considering the construction of a series of improvements that will not only correct the storm drainage problems but also have a positive impact
on the sanitary sewer system Beciuse of inadequate control of storm water and its intrusion into the
sanitary sewers portions of the sanitary sewer system and the treatment plant experience problems during heavy rainfall events The proposed storm drainage iinprovenients would be located in the northern area of the City between Crooked Creek and Roseberry Lane The improvements will include the following
Construction of a grassed-lined channel which would include box culvens at strcet
crossings These improvements would begin near Roseberry Lane and end at Crooked
Creek
Installation OF storm sewer piping along parts of Parrish Avenue 29 Street Lincoln
Avenue Monroe Avenue and Mt Vernon Avenue
Replacement of portions of existing sanitary sewer between Roseberry Lane and Camden
Avenue
0 Installation of new sanitary sewer between 22nd Street and Camden Avenue
0 Installtition of three small residential sewage pumping stations
The proposed improvements have an estimated project cost of $5000000
30 NINE MINIMUM CONTROLS
As required in the CSO Control Policy municipalities were obligated to immediately implement
best management practices to reduce CSOs and their effects on receiving streams no later than January I
1997 The City has previously submitted documentation demonstrating compliance with the nine
minimum controls (NMCs) requirement A brief description of each minimum control measuce
implemented is discussed below A more thorough explanation of NMC efforts is summarized in the CSO NMC [mplementation Policy Audit provided in Appendix C The audit was updated on June 17
2008
The City is currently in the process of implementing items they werc not previously doing when the self-audit was completed The City anticipates having complete implementation of the NMCs by
December 3 I 2009
31 Proper Operation and Regular Maintenance Programs
According to the EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Nine Minimum Controlsrdquo the first minimum control
should consist of a program that clearly establishes operation maintenance and inspection procedures to
ensure that a CSS and Lreatment facility will funclion i n a way to maximize treatment dwmbined sewage and comply with NFDES permit limitntions Its aim is to ensure that existing facilities perform as effectively as possibte
To this end the City wilI implement a routine inspection and maintenance program for its facilities critical to the operation of the combined sewer system on or before December 312009 This
program will be reviewed annually and changes to the structure of the program will be made as necessary
The City will adopt a formal training schedule utilizing the Environmental Training Center in Ripley to
provide training to its wastewater system employees Training wilt indude canfind space entry procedures combined sewer system operation and maintenance and maintenance of traffic at
construction sites

Page 3-1
32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly
Cfty of Point Pleasatit Lorrg Teriti Contrui Plait Arrgrcst 2008
Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

32 Maximization of Storage in the Collection System
Maximizing storage in the collection system m a n s making relatively simple and inexpensive
modifications enabling the CSS to store wet weather tlows until downstream facilities can handle the
increaed volumes In some instances the City has opted to separate sewers and reduce infiltration and
inflow to maximize the ability of the collection system to convey wastewater
The City has taken an active role in removing inflow and infiltration from their collection system
The City has conducted smoke testing and removed downspouts from six homes on Main Street in a low lying area the City replaced and repaired a portion of the existing sewer and along with removing all the
catch basins from an existing sanitary sewer a new sanitary sewer was installed From 261h to 2Sth Street
33 Review and Modification of Pretreatment Requirements
For the third minimum control measure the EPA guidance document stipulates that the City should determine whether nondomestic sources are contributing to CSO impacts and investigate ways to control them Examples of typical contributing nondomestic sources may include restaurants gas
stations industrial users etc
The City does not provide sewer scrvice to any entity requiring pretreatment of their waste
effluent The relative contribution of nondornestic flow lo the total dry weather flow is small in part because the Fraction of the CSS service area dedicated to nondomestic use is small Also the numher of
users that would discharge common pollutants as a function of their business operations is small
ThereFore for these reasons a prctreatment program has not been considered and is not being proposed at
lhis time
However the City does maintain an inventory of nondomestic discharges to the CSS in the form of an oil and grease inspection program Within the Citys corporate boundaries the majority of
nondomestic discharges are from restaurants that generate significant oil and grease Oil and grease has been identified as a pollutant and contributes to blockages and flooding problems To address this
situation the City instituted a sewer inspection program and enforcement guidelines to detect and reduce
oil and grease discharges to the CSS Those entities that discharge oil and grease in the course of their
business operations are regularly inspected quarterly
Cfty of Point Pleasatit Lorrg Teriti Contrui Plait Arrgrcst 2008
Page 3-2
34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings
-- Page 4-2
City of PoitJt Pleasatit Lorig Term Control Pkrr Augtisl 2008
50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

34 Maximization of Flow to the PUTW for Treatment
tn this control measure maximization of flow to the Citys wastewater treatment plant can entail
simple modifications to the CSS and treatment plant to dLow as much tlow as reasonably possible to enter
the treatment plant during wet weather events Ultimately maximizing the flow to the treatment plant
will reduce the magnitude frequency and duration of CSO events
In an effort to maximize the flow to the WWTP the City has cleaned sewers within their
collection system However the City has no records of when and where sewers we cleaned throughout
the collection system The City will improve recordkeeping efforts and begin documenting sewer
cleaning efforts on or before December 3 12008
35 Elimination of CSOs During Dry Weather
The NPDES program prohibits dry weather overflows Therefore this fifth minimum control is
enforceable outside of any CSO control program The City is not aware of any known dry weather overflows within the CSS
To ensure that an nccutrencc of a dry weather overflow would be noticed the City observes each
CSO location every day Shoiild a dry weather overflow be encountered the City maintains a prucedure to contilct the West Virginia Water Pollution Spill Alert Hotliue immediately at (800) 642-3074 Further (he City has impleiiiented a public notification procedure that would alert citizens in the event of a dry weather overflow and advise tfmn lo remain clear of the area until further notice
36 Control of Solid and Floatable Materials in CSOs
The sixth minimum control measure is intended to reduce visible floatables from the CSS using
simple control measures Such equipment may include trash racks scrcens grease traps and oil
skimmers Other maintenance operations such as street sweeping may also reduce the solids and
ff oatables that enter the CSS
- Page 3-3
- Cily of Point Plerrsorrt Long Term Control Platamp A rrgust 2008
In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

In addition to previous minimum controls that may also reduce floatables in addition to their
primary function the City looked at installing wire mesh screens at each of the CSO outfalls to collect
visible ffoatables and solids However with the installation of a backflow prevention device at CSO 002 this is no longer an option In addition with CSO 001 A tying into the WWTP effluent discharge it would
not be practical to impede the flow by any means
37 Pollution Prevention Programs to Reduce Contaminants in CSOs
This minimum control is meant to keep contaminants fromentering the CSS and impacting the
receiving stream through the CSOs The control measure is predicated upon the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 that established a national strategy for pollution prevention This measure is focused more on
behavioral changes as opposed to construction of storage and treatment equipment Currently the City
maintains existing street sweeping and trash collection programs The City owns and operates one street sweeper which operates on a daily basis to reduce trash and litter on City streets
Trash receptacles have been placed in appropriate spots in areas of high pedestrian traffic (ie dowiltown city streets playgrounds parks ball fields etc) Regular trash collection is conducted for all
City residents Tn the fall the City has a leaf removal program
An ordinance has been adopted to prohibit itlegal dumping of materials tu waterways inlets or
onto the ground A copy uf the ordinance prohibiting littering and illegal dumping is included as Appendix D
38 Public Notification
The eighth control measure $intended to inform the public of the location of CSOs the actual occurrences of CSOs the possibk health and environmental impacts of CSOs and the recreational
activities limited as a result of CSOs
The primary notification measure for the City is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge
locations Only CSO permit signs are posted Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow
event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact number is
provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTps effluent discharge
- City of Point Pleasarit Long Term Control PIari August 2008
Page 3-4
However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section

A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)

50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

However the City will post a CSO warning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
3 12008
Another public notification measure includes announcements read by a Local radio station (FM
995) during an event
39 Monitoring to Characterize CSO Impacts and the EtBcacy of CSO Controls
The ninth and final control measure is intended to determine the occurrence and apparent impacts of CSOs through visual observation or other simple methods Over time changes in the occurrences of CSO events can provide a preliminary indication of the effectiveness of the nine minimum controls
In order to begin to characterize the CSO impacts accurate mapping of the CSS must be available The City has a general map of the CSS service area to a scale of 1 -inch equals 400-feet
Observations are made of each CSO location every day whether or not it is overflowing and
weather observation is recorded in addition when wet weather cvcnts occur observations are made at each overflow that can be correlated with rainfall data gathered from the Cityrsquos rainfall gauge When
significant wet weather events occur during working hours City staff makes observations at
representative CSOs to assure that systems are fmctioning properly

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

City of PoitJt Pleasatit Lorig Term Control Pkrr Augtisl 2008
50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction
Inflow reduction is a widely used CSO control practice centered on rcmoval of direct soiirces or
storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage
Off-line storage is the term used to describe facilities that store combined sewage in tanks basins or other structures During dry weather wastewater is passed around not through off-line storage facilities During wet weather combiried sewage flows are diverted from the combined sewage system to
the off-line facility by gravity or pumped

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

40 PUBLiC PARTICIPATION AND CONSIDERATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS
As a community of approximately 4637 people the City of Point Pleasant is well under the population limit of 75000 established in EPArsquos ldquoGuidance for Long-Term Control Planrdquo Section 166
entitled ldquoSmall System Considerationsrdquo acknowledges the limitations of small systems and reduces the
necessary sections of the long-term control plan to four key elements Public participation and consideration of sensitive areas are two of these elements and we addressed in more detail herein
41 Identification of Sensitive and Priority Areas
Sensitive areas as defined by the US EPA Combined Sewer OveMow Control Policy include ldquodesignated Outstanding National Resource Waters National Marine Sanctuaries waters with threatened or endangered species and their habitat waters with primary contact recreation public drinking water
intakes or their designated protection areas and shelltiah bcdsrdquo There are no areas within the City liitits
that qiiolify as described above and are negalively impacted by CSO discharges or CSO discharges related to equipment failures
Priority areas are areas having some environmental significance but not to the level uf (lsquosensitive areasrdquo as dcfined in the federal CSO Control Policy These priurity areas may include public ilcccss
areas ampe near marinas schools playgrounds parks or athletic fields) or use of shallow streams for
recreational activity with something loss than full contact (ie wading) The City has identirid one priority area within the corporate boundaries The Riverfront Park i s Iocatcd downstream of CSO 002
42 Public Participation and Notification
Public participation and notification of CSO issues and events is a key goal of this Report To this end the City will implement several items that are desctihed in this section
421 Legal Advertisement
A legal advertisement will be placed in the Point Pleasant Register annually explaining the
importance of avoiding CSOs and identities the streams impacted by CSOs In the advertisement the
public will be cautioned to avoid these CSO locations when actively discharging and to contact the City at
the number provided in the advertisement for any further information on CSOs
Page 4- I Ciry of Poiiit Pieasail1 Long Term Control Plait Atrgirsi ZOO8
422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December
312008
423 Brochures
Brochures educating residents of the potential health risks associated with exposure to CSOs are
available at the City Building The brochures are made available free of chargc by WVDEP and can be
found in Appendix E
424 Media Advisory
When a CSO event occurs Lhe City has a media advi (FM 995)
425 City Council Meetings
ory read on a local radio station
With the implementation of the LTCP the City has begun to routinely discuss CSO
activities at City Council meetings

City of PoitJt Pleasatit Lorig Term Control Pkrr Augtisl 2008
50 WATER QUALITY CONSlDERATION
The main impetus for implementation of CSO controls is attainment of water quality standards
including designated uses The permittee is expected to be knowledgeable about water quality condilions in local waterbodies that receive CSO discharges
Within the corporate houndaries of the City the Kanawha River has been assessed under the
305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is expected from US EPA by the end of 20 10 for the Lower Kanawha
watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
A major element of the CSO long-term control plan is evaluation of CSO control alternatives
The CSO control alternatives that may be considered as part of this plan at a later date are conveyance
and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

422 Signage
The primary tiotificatioti measure is the posting of signs at all CSO discharge locations The CSO
permit signs are located at each CSO discharge location Due to the fact no one will be able to witness an overflow event at CSO 002 because it discharges below the water level no warning sign with contact
number is provided Also no warning sign with contact number is posted at CSO OOlA due to the fact the CSO discharges out of the same pipe as the WWTPs effluent discharge
However the City will post a CSO waning sign at the Riverfront Park on or before December

watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group

and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

305(b) program by the state water quality standards agency as being ldquothEatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo The
Kanawha River is ldquothreatenedrdquo or ldquoimpairedrdquo for mercury and fecal coliform Both rhe Kanawha River and the Ohio River have been identified as being impaired on the slatersquos 303(d) list The Kanawha River
is impaired for PCBs whereas the Ohio River is impaired for bacteria and iron The final Total

watershed group and 201 1 for the Middle Ohio South watershed group
60 CSO CONTROL ALTERNATIVES

and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant inflow reduction sewer separation off-line storage and
wet weather treatment facilities After conducting the post monitoring if it is determined the City is
experiencing more than 6 CSO events per year andor not meeting water quality these alternatives will be
evaluated in detail Forms summarizing conveyance and treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
inflow reduction sewer separation and off-line storage alternatives will be provided if determined necessary to evaluation said alternatives A summary of what entails each alternative is provided below
61 Conveyance and Treatment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
This alternative involves the ability to convey combined sewage to the treatment plant and the
maximization of treatment at the plant
62 Inflow Reduction

storm water connected to the comhined scwage system Roof leader and down spout disconiiectioris are the only inflow reduction measures considered
63 Sewer Separation
Sewer separation is the practice of rcplacing the single pipe system of a combined sewage system
with scparate pipes for sanitary and storin water flows
64 Off-Line Storage

Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting

Cityrsquos sewer drainage project progresses Attachment 9
POINT PLEASANT -Work is continuing on a sewer drainage project in the northern part of the City of Point Pleasant
During their regular meeting Monday council members received a progress report from Burgess and Niple the Parkersburg engineering firm that is handling the project The report detailed work that has been completed in the past 30 days including areas of concern and potential problems
According to Mayor Leonard ldquoBusterrdquo Riffle survey work and mappin project area has been completed In addition field work for manhole inspection and stream delineation was completed earlier this week after being delayed by the recent inclement w eather
The report also stated that culverts under 26th Street are in good structural condition and that pieces of existing channels near 26th Street 22nd Street and 2 1 st Street will be considered for use during the preliminary design
ldquoThey have been doing some pretty extensive work Wersquore not in as bad shape as we thoughtrdquo Riffle added
Funding for the drainage project will be generated by the cityrsquos recent sewer rate increase which has been delayed indefinitely due to a formal protest filed earlier this year However once that issue is resolved the rate hike is expected to generate approximately $293000 in revenue each year
In the past council members have stressed that this project has been postponed for too many years and in addition to meeting regulations set forth by the Department of Environmental Protection there are health and safety concerns to be considered Ultimately the work will help correct the cityrsquos combined sewer system which suffers every time there is a heavy rain because the current syste canrsquot handle the excess storm water
Riffle said officials from Burgess and Niple want to begin the design phase of the project later this month and council members agreed to further discuss the details during a meeting Feb 23 with design work to be presented at next monthrsquos council meeting
