A publication of the Wayne County Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project Information Date: May 2003 The Redford Township CSO project seeks to compliance with the NPDES permits and the Phase II and III control requirements. The process fully involved the Rouge Project and the CSO communities. The MDEQ established three CSO Retention/Treatment Basin (RTB) Committees to analyze discharge data from groups of RTBs. The RTB Committee reviews discharge data in relation to the Phase II Criteria for Success in CSO Treatment established by MDEQ with input from the Rouge Project and the CSO Communities. The Rouge Stream Data Committee evaluates receiving stream data for impacts from the individual RTBs. The Committee then determines whether the receiving water downstream from each individual RTB is achieving the Phase II criteria for success and, if not, to what extent the RTB discharge is contributing to the water quality problem. Finally, the CSO Workgroup compiles the information on success of the individual in which they analyzed the data collected to assess the effectiveness of the CSO demonstration basins Control Facilities.” For other reports on the CSO control program, please see Products and Data, Combined Sewer Overflows It is very important to note that MDEQ has 2000 Letter of Approval for Phase II Review focused on the following retention treatment basins: Acacia Park CSO Retention Treatment Basin, Birmingham CSO Retention Treatment Basin, and Bloomfield Village CSO Retention Treatment Basin. The August 7, 2000 Letter of Approval for Phase II Review focused on the following retention treatment basins: Inkster for Phase II Review focused on the following retention treatment basins for the City of Detroit: The operation of the CSO control facilities is critical to their overall success. Some very important information on the operating experience of these CSO control facilities can be viewed in a paper prepared on this topic. The Project’s CSO control program was summarized in a report and was included as a case study by USEPA in their recent Report to Congress on the nationwide CSO control efforts. Facility Performance and Environmental Results Emerging Information on CSO The Rouge Watershed CSO Workgroup will compile the information on success of the considered preliminary emerging information and is subject to revision based upon more complete data and upon the full evaluation of 1. For six storm events, the treated effluent from the Oakland County CSO basins never caused the instream dissolved oxygen to fall below the MDEQ instream standard of 5 mg/l or below the pre-event dissolved oxygen at the two downstream dissolved oxygen sampling points.
