3.2.1 Sonoma State University
The City first signed an agreement with the State to serve Sonoma State University with sanitation
facilities and sewage treatment and disposal in 1964. The agreement was most recently updated in 1980.
A copy of the 1980 agreement is included as Appendix B. Under this agreement, the City accepts
sewage collected at SSU for treatment but does not provide design, operations, or maintenance of
sanitation facilities on SSU property. The 1980 agreement states that the State agrees to collect and
convey sewage to the City in such a manner as to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations
(Section 6, Page 5). The 1980 agreement also includes specific limitations and prohibitions to minimize
infiltration and inflow (I &I) including:
• Identification and abatement of inflow from storm and surface waters, land and roof drainage, and .
cooling water (Section 8, Page 5);
• Proper design, construction, and testing of new sewer (Section 8, Page 5); and
• Utilizing at least 5 percent of the annual Operations and Maintenance identification and
elimination of I/I (Section 8, Page 6).
The agreement also includes an affirmation that all sewage discharged from SSU will meet City
requirements for quality, characteristics, and prohibited substances contained in the City's Sanitary Code
(including FOG) and applicable regulations (Section 8, Page 6).
3.2.2 Canon Manor West
The City signed an agreement with the County to serve Canon Manor West in 2001. Canon Manor West
is an unincorporated area of the County located adjacent to the City's eastern boundary and within the

City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 4 Operation and Maintenance Program
Element 4 Operation and Maintenance Program
This element of the SSMP discusses the City's Operations and Maintenance (O &M) Program, including
collection system maps, preventive maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement plan, O &M equipment,
and employee training. This section fulfills the Operations and Maintenance Program requirement for the
SWRCB SSMP requirements.
The requirements of the G"R are:
a. The City must maintain an up -to -date map of the sanitary sewer system, showing all gravity
line segments, manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes, valves, and applicable storm water
conveyance facilities;.
b. The City must describe routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by staff and
contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the
sanitary sewer system with more frequent. cleaning and maintenance targeted at known
problem areas The Preventative Maintenance program should have a system to document
scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders;
c. The City must develop a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system
deficiencies and implement short -term and long term rehabilitation actions to address each
deficiency. The program should include regular visual and TV inspections of manholes and
sewer pipes, and a system for ranking the condition of sewer pipes and scheduling
rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and replacement should focus on sewer pipes that are at risk of
collapse or prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects. Finally, the rehabilitation
and replacement plan should include a capital improvement plan that addresses proper
management and protection of the infrastructure assets The plan shall include a time schedule
for implementing the short and long term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds
needed for the capital improvement plan;
d The City must provide equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of
critical replacement parts; and
e. The City must provide training on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer system operations,
maintenance, and require contractors to be appropriately trained
4.1 Collection System Map
The City has paper -based maps of its sewer system. The paper -based maps are produced from 'a master
base map first drafted from 1:300 photographs in 1975. The master base map has been updated numerous
times, most recently in 2000. The maps include gravity sewers (including pipe diameter), the direction of
sewage flow, manholes, cleanouts, streets names, and right -of -ways.
The City is currently developing an ArcGIS Geographical Information System (GIS) database of their
sewer system facilities and it intends to use it to generate sewer maps beginning in December 2008. Field
staff are responsible for marking up paper maps indicating discrepancies or errors identified through field
verification. Field supervisors review discrepancies and errors identified and transmit requested changes
to the GIS staff.
The GIS Intern, under supervision of the Senior Engineering Technician, is be responsible for updating.
GIS maps as facilities are added, rehabilitated, and as corrections are identified through field work. High
priority changes (changes that could result in an SSO) will be incorporated into the GIS within 60 days.
Updated January 2009 4.1
City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 4 Operation and Maintenance Proaram
Low priority changes will incorporated into the GIS on an annual basis. Sewer system map sheets for
field use will be printed and distributed to the field crews as they are updated.
4.2 Preventive Maintenance
4.2.1 Preventive Maintenance Activities
Gravity Sewers
The City performs preventive cleaning of its gravity sewers. The City has a goal of cleaning gravity
sewer lines 12 inches or smaller every three years. Problem sewer line segments are cleaned every 30,
90, 180 or 365 days. Problem sewer lines can be identified during routine cleanings, manhole inspections,
and from customer calls. Appendix D contains a list of the lines on the 30 -, 90 -, 180- or 365 -day
maintenance schedules. The frequency of line cleaning is subject to increase or decrease on a case by
case basis, dependent on the field crew's feedback from observations during cleaning. Lines 15 inches or
smaller in diameter (representing 93% of the total system length) can be cleaned by the City using its high
velocity combination cleaner. Lines greater than 15 inches in diameter (representing 7% of the total
system length) will be inspected by the City (using visual or CCTV inspection methods) every three years
and they will be cleaned by contractors when needed.
Cleaning of gravity sewers is tracked in the field on paper log sheets and then inputted monthly into an
Access Database.
Manholes
Currently, minor repairs on manholes are performed at the time of detailed manhole inspection: Major
repair issues are noted and added to a list to be fixed at a future date. Manhole inspection records are
tracked in the field on paper log sheets and then inputted monthly into an Access Database. Beginning in
Calendar Year 2009, the City cleaning crews will begin documenting the existence of manhole
maintenance defects (e.g. roots, grease, debris) found during sewer cleaning activities and will identify
whether an additional condition assessment inspection needs to be performed (e.g. structural defects).
Through this process, every manhole in the system will be inspected by either a cleaning crew, manhole
inspection crew, or both in a three -year cycle in conjunction with the system -wide sewer cleaning
program. The manhole condition assessment inspections will focus on recording the severity of manhole
issues in a code -based format. Manhole inspection records will be compiled and all repairs will be
prioritized based on severity.
Force Mains
The City has two major force mains that connect the City's collection system to the Santa Rosa
Subregional System. Air relief valves are inspected and maintained annually. Force mains are cleaned
when conditions warrant. The City's newer force main conveying the City's flows to the Santa Rosa
Subregional System is equipped with a pig launcher to allow for cleaning. Cleaning. and inspection of the
City's older force main conveying the City's flows to the Santa Rosa Subregional Treatment Plant is
conducted every two to four years, as conditions warrant. Force main. maintenance is currently recorded
on paper log sheets that are stored at the pump stations.
Pump Stations
The City performs daily inspections of Pump Station No. 1 and Pump Station No. 2 (pump stations at the
two major force mains that connect the City's system to the Santa Rosa Subregional System). The City
performs twice weekly inspection of Pump Station No. 3. Between inspections, the City monitors pump
station performance using a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that relays
information to a computer at the Public Works Department and that sends notification of pump station
alarms to the Public Safety Dispatch Center (see Element 2). Pump station maintenance is completed as
needed based on the inspections. Pump station maintenance activities include preventygand corrective
Updated January 2009 4.2
City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 4 Operation and Maintenance Program
maintenance activities. Pump station maintenance is currently recorded on paper log sheets that are
stored at the pump stations.
Non - Routine Maintenance
Non - routine maintenance activities include investigation and response to any complaints regarding an
overflowing manhole, missing, loose, or noisy manhole covers, private residential plumbing issues, pump
station malfunctions, sewer odor complaints, etc.
Non - routine maintenance activities are recorded in the service request system or in hard copy file.
4.2.2 Preventive Maintenance Scheduling and Tracking
The City maintains an Access database which contains information about each pipe segment and manhole
in the collection system. Pipe segment information includes pipe identification number, diameter, length,
material, basin number, street name and block number (e.g. 5400 block of Holly St.). Manhole
information includes manhole number, rim and invert elevations, X -Y coordinates, and nearest street
address (e.g. 5420 Holly St.). Cleaning frequency and manhole inspection information are recorded in the
Access database as discussed above. The Access database also contains links to As -Built drawings for
each pipe line segment and manhole. The City uses the Access database to query lines needing cleaning
by basin number.
The City is evaluating computerized options for planning, tracking and scheduling maintenance activities.
The City will complete its evaluation in the near future. The computer -based maintenance management
system will be used for gravity sewer, manhole, pump station, and force main maintenance activities.
4.3 Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
4.3.1 Repair and Replacement Program
Sewer facility replacement or repairs noted during preventive maintenance and condition assessments are
completed in one of two ways. The City staff has the capacity to perform some of the sewer facility
repairs and replacements. Repair or replacement projects that cannot be completed by City staff are
carried out using contractors. Repair or replacement projects that constitute major capital projects are
scheduled into the City's Capital Improvement Plan, as discussed below.
4.3.2 Condition Assessment
Closed Circuit Television Inspection Proaram
The City has performed periodic Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection over the past few years as
part of Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) investigations (see Section 8.1.3. in Element 8). In 2008, the City
inspected approximately 40,000 linear feet of pipe located within 200 feet of creeks or streams.
The City plans to implement a five -year CCTV inspection of all gravity sewers installed before 1974
(approximately 31 miles or 40 percent of the total system). Lines installed before 1974 were selected for
the CCTV inspection program because, assuming the program ends in 2013; these lines will have been in
use for 40 or more years. The long period of use makes these gravity sewers more likely to have
rehabilitation or replacement needs than more recently installed pipes.
At the end of the five year CCTV Inspection program, the City will develop a condition assessment
program for the remaining gravity sewer assets and for pre -1974 gravity sewers that were scheduled for
re- inspection.
Lateral Inspection and Replacement Program
The City enacted a lateral compliance ordinance in 2007 which requires testing and/or inspection of
private sewer laterals under certain conditions, including:
Updated January 2009 4-3

• Application for a change of use on the premises served from residential to commercial, or from
non- restaurant commercial to restaurant commercial, or
• Application for a change of use on the premises served from any other land use to common
interest development, or
Upon determination of the City Engineer that the cleaning and testing is required to abate a
nuisance or for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.
4.3.3 Capital Improvement Plan
The City maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP includes the list of
funding sources and schedule of expenditures for each project. The budget for the CIP was adopted in
July 2007. The City's CIP includes manhole repairs to reduce I/I, and sewer repair and replacement
(including condition assessment for pre - design). The City will incorporate a separate project for
condition assessment into the CIP in the future.
4.4 Equipment
The list of major equipment that the City uses in the operation and maintenance of its collection system
and pump stations is included in Appendix E.
The City maintains contracts with local suppliers and contractors to obtain parts and labor for emergency
repairs. A list of local suppliers and contractors is included in Appendix F.
4.5 Training
Currently, employee O &M program training includes information training through in -house classes, on-
the-job training, conferences, seminars, etc. The City will be implementing a formal training program by
December 2008. Training will include Overflow Emergency Response Training. The City will continue
to utilize resources of professional organizations (e.g. CWEA) for other types of training and encourages
employees to participate in conferences and seminars.
The City tracks training activities in an electronic form. The electronic form includes the dates of
attendance, .contact hours earned, and indication if a certificate of training is kept on file.
Through contracts and specifications, the City will also require that contractors performing maintenance
and CCTV inspection work on the City's collection system facilities are properly trained. Contractors are
responsible for understanding the City's sewer facilities and the potential impacts the work the contractor
is performing can have in creating SSOs.

City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 2 SSO Detection
Section 2 SSO Detection
The processes that are employed to notify the City. of the occurrence of an SSO include: observation by
the public, receipt of an alarm, or observation by City staff during the normal course of their work.
2.1 Public Observation
Public observation is a common way that the City is notified of blockages and spills. Contact information
for reporting sewer spills and backups are in the phone book and on the City's website: www.rpcity.org.
The City's Public Works telephone number is (707) 588 -3300 during working hours. After hours, calls to
the Public Works telephone number are automatically redirected to an answering service.
Normal Work Hours
The City's regular working hours are 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday through Thursday, and every other
Friday, with the exception of holidays and off - Fridays. When a report of a sewer spill or backup is made,
Public Works Dispatch receives the call, takes the information from the caller, and communicates it to
Supervising Maintenance Worker who responds to the site and/or dispatches a field crew.
After Hours
After hours, callers are automatically transferred to an answering service. The answering service receives
the call, takes the information from the caller, and communicates it to the Maintenance On -call Personnel.
The Maintenance On -call Personnel responds to the site and, if necessary, calls additional Maintenance
Workers for assistance.
2.2 Receipt of Alarm
The City's three pump stations have alarm systems with autodialers that notify the Public Safety Dispatch
Center of an alarm condition via telephone. During working hours, Public Safety Dispatcher contacts the
Public Works Dispatch to respond to the alarm. After hours, the Public Safety Dispatcher contacts the
On -Call Maintenance Personnel directly. The Public Safety Dispatcher number is (707) 584 -2600.
2.3 City Staff Observation
City staff conducts periodic inspections of its sewer system facilities as part of their routine activities.
Any problems noted with the sewer system facilities are reported to appropriate City staff who respond to
emergency situations. Work orders are issued to correct non - emergency conditions (non- SSOs).

City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 3 SSO Response Procedures
3.1 First Responder Priorities
The first responder's priorities are:
• To follow safe work practices.
• To respond promptly with the appropriate equipment.
• To contain the spill wherever feasible.
• To restore the flow as soon as practicable.
• To minimize public access to and /or contact with the spilled sewage.
• To promptly notify the Supervising Maintenance Worker or the Public Works Supervisor in event
of any SSO.
• To return the spilled sewage to the sewer system.
• To restore the area to its original condition (or as close as possible).
3.2 Safety during Response
The first responder is responsible for following safety procedures on all jobs. Special safety precautions
must be observed when performing sewer work.
There may be times when City personnel responding to a sewer system event are not familiar with
potential safety hazards peculiar to sewer work. In such cases it is appropriate to take the time to discuss
safety issues, consider the order of work, and check safety equipment before starting the job.
3.3 Initial Response
The first responder must respond to the reported location or pump station site and visually check for
potential sewer stoppages or overflows. All sewer system calls require a response to the reported location
of the event.
The first responder should:
• Note arrival time at spill site.
• Verify the existence of an SSO or sewer system backup.
• Identify and assess the affected area and extent of SSO.
• Contact caller if time permits.
• Notify the Supervising Maintenance Worker:
o If the spill appears to be a large SSO, any SSO in a sensitive area, or if there is doubt
regarding the extent, impact, or how to proceed.
o If the SSO is in a public roadway and help with traffic control is needed to protect
workers and the public.
o If additional help is needed, the Supervising Maintenance Worker or Public Works
Supervisor will contact other employees, contractors, and/or equipment suppliers.
• If the SSO is large or in a sensitive area, document conditions with photographs.
If the spill is occurring inside a private residence or business:
• Immediately contact Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund at (707) 938 -2388 and
Cal North Adjusters at (707) 539 -7785.
• Cal North Adjusters Representatives will come to the site immediately and will make all
arrangements for clean up and repairs.
• First Responder will document conditions with photographs.
April 2008 3 -2
City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 3 SSO Response Procedures
• Decide whether to proceed with actions to restore the flow or to initiate containment measures.
The guidance for this decision is:
• Small SSO — proceed with restoring flow (e.g. clear blockage, restore pump station
operation, temporary bypass pumping around issue spot).
• Moderate or large SSO where containment is anticipated to be simple — proceed with the
containment measures.
• Moderate or large SSO where, containment is anticipated to be difficult — proceed with
restoring flow (e.g. clear blockage, restore pump station operation, temporary bypass
pumping around issue spot); however, call for additional assistance after. 15 minutes
without restoration of flow and implement containment measures.
3.4 Initial Spill Containment Measures
The first responder should attempt to contain the spilled sewage using the following steps:
• Determine the immediate destination of the overflowing sewage.
• Plug storm drains using air plugs, sandbags, and/or plastic mats to contain the spill, whenever
appropriate. If overflowing sewage has entered the storm drainage system during dry weather,
attempt to contain the spilled sewage by plugging downstream storm drainage facilities.
• Contain/direct the .spilled sewage using dike /dam or sandbags.
• Pump around the blockage /pipe failure /pump station, if not already. initiated.
April 2008 3 -3
City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 4 Recovery and Clean Up
Section 4 Recovery and Clean Up
The recovery and clean up phase begins when the flow has been restored and the overflow of sewage has
been stopped. The SSO recovery and clean up procedures are:
Estimate the Volume of Spilled Sewage
Use the methods outlined in Appendix D - Methods for Estimating Spill Volume to estimate the volume of
the spilled sewage. Wherever possible, document the estimate using photos of the SSO site before the
recovery operation.
Recovery of Spilled Sewage
Vacuum up or pump the spilled sewage and discharge it back into the sanitary sewer system.
Clean Up and Disinfection
Clean up and disinfection procedures should be implemented to reduce the potential for human health
issues and adverse environmental impacts that are associated with an SSO event. The procedures
described are for dry weather conditions and should be modified as required for wet weather conditions.
Where cleanup is beyond the capabilities of City staff, a clean up contractor will be used.
• Private Property
• If the spill has occurred on private property but outside of a structure (e.g. residence,
building, etc.), offer assistance with clean up and advise resident or property owner of
claim procedures.
• If the spill has occurred on private property inside a structure (e.g. home, building, etc.),
Cal North Adjusters Representatives will make all arrangements for clean up and repairs.
• Hard Surface Areas
• Collect all signs of sewage solids and sewage - related material either by hand or with the
use of rakes and brooms.
• Wash down the affected area with clean water. Take reasonable steps to contain and
vacuum up the wash water.
• Disinfect all areas that were contaminated from the overflow using the disinfectant
solution. Apply minimal amounts of the disinfectant solution using a hand sprayer.
Document the volume and application method of disinfectant that was employed.
• Allow area to dry. Repeat the process if additional cleaning is required.
• Landscaped and Unimproved Natural Vegetation
• Collect all signs of sewage solids and sewage- related material either by hand or with the
use of rakes and brooms.
• Wash down the affected area with clean water until the water runs clear. The flushing
volume should be approximately three times the estimated "volume of the spill.
• Either contain or vacuum up the wash water so that none is released.
• Allow the area to dry. - Repeat the process if additional cleaning is required.
• Natural Waterways
• The Department of Fish and Game should be notified in the event an SSO impacts any
surface water or riparian habitat. Fish and Game will provide the professional guidance
needed to effectively clean up spills that occur in these sensitive environments.
• Performing water quality sampling, if required as discussed in Section 6 Water Quality
Sampling and Testing.
April 2008 44
City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 4 Recovery and Clean Up
o Clean up should proceed quickly in order to "Alinimize negative impact. Sewage causes
depletion of dissolved oxygen which will kill. aquatic life.
o Any water that is used in the cleanup should be de- chlorinated prior to use (chlorine
compounds are toxic to aquatic life).
• Wet Weather Modifications
o Omit flushing and sampling during heavy storm events with heavy runoff where flushing
is not required and sampling would not provide meaningful results.
• Overflows at Night
o In the event that an overflow occurs at night, the location should also be inspected the
following day. The operator should look for any signs of sewage solids and sewage -
related material that may warrant additional clean up activities.
April 2008 4 -2
City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 5 Public Notification
Section 5 Public Notification
Post signs and place barricades to keep vehicles and pedestrians away from contact with spilled sewage.
Do not remove the signs until directed by the Public Works Supervisor or Supervising Maintenance
Worker. A sample warning sign is included as Appendix F - Warning Sign.
Creeks and streams that have been contaminated as a result of an SSO should be posted at visible access
locations until the risk of contamination has subsided to acceptable background levels. The warning signs
should be checked every day to ensure that they are still in place.
Major spills may warrant broader public notice. The City Manager will authorize contact with local
media when significant areas may have been contaminated by sewage.
April 2008 5 -1
City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 6 Water Quality Sampling and Testing.
Section 6 Water Quality Sampling and Testing
Water quality sampling and testing are required to determine the extent and impact of the SSO whenever
500 gallons or more of spilled sewage enters surface water. The water quality sampling procedures are:
The first responder should notify the Supervising Maintenance Worker that water quality samples
need to be collected. The Supervising Maintenance Worker will contact the City of Santa Rosa to
collect samples. Samples should be collected as soon as possible after the discovery of the SSO
event.
• The water quality samples should be collected from upstream of the spill, from the spill area, and
downstream of the spill in flowing water (e.g. creeks). The water quality samples should be
collected near the point of entry of the spilled sewage and every 100 feet along the shore on
impoundments (e.g. ponds).
• The City of Santa Rosa Laboratory will analyze the results to determine the nature and extent of
the discharge. Additional samples will be taken to determine when posting of warning signs can
be discontinued. The basic analyses should include total coliform, fecal coliform, biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen, and ammonia nitrogen.

City of Rohnert Park Overflow Emergency Response Plan Section 7 SSO Investigation and
Documentation
Section 7 SSO Investigation and Documentation
All SSOs should be thoroughly investigated and documented for use in managing the sewer. system and
meeting established reporting requirements. The procedures for investigating and documenting SSOs are:
Failure Analysis Investigation
The objective of the failure analysis investigation is to determine the "root cause" of the SSO and to
identify corrective action(s) needed that will reduce or eliminate future potential for the SSO to recur.
The investigation should include reviewing relevant data to determine appropriate corrective action(s).
The investigation should include:
• Reviewing and completing the Collection System Service Call/Overflow Field Report,
• Reviewing past maintenance records,
• Reviewing available photographs,
• Conducting a CCTV inspection to determine the condition of the line segment immediately
following the SSO and reviewing the video and logs, and
• Interviewing staff who responded to the spill.
The product of the failure analysis investigation should be the determination of the root cause and the
identification of the corrective actions. The completed Collection System Failure Analysis Form
Appendix C - Failure Analysis Form should be included in the SSO file.
SSO Documentation
The first responder will complete the Collection System Service Call /Overflow Field Report Form (see
Appendix A - Collection System Service Call/Overflow Field Report Form).
First Responder /Supervising Maintenance Worker (working hours) or Public Works Supervisor (after
hours) will complete the Sewer Overflow Building History Form (see Appendix B -Sewer Overflow
Building History Form) if an SSO has occurred in a residence or building.
The Supervising Maintenance Worker will prepare a file for each individual SSO. The file should include
the following information:
All SSOs
• Initial service call information.
• Collection System Service Call/Overflow Field Report form.
• Failure analysis investigation results.
• SWRCB California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) Report(s) (see Section 8 SSO
Reporting)
Large SSOs and /or SSOs to sensitive areas
• Volume estimate.
• Appropriate maps showing the spill location.
• Photographs of spill location.

Appendix D - Methods for Estimating Spill Volume
Methods for Estimating Spill Volume
A variety of approaches exist for estimating the volume of a sanitary sewer spill. This appendix
documents the three methods that are most often employed. The person preparing the estimate
should use the method most appropriate to the sewer overflow in question and use the best
information available.
Method 1 Eyeball Estimate
The volume of small spills can be estimated using an "eyeball estimate ". To use this method
imagine the amount of water that would spill from a bucket or a barrel. A bucket contains 5
gallons and a barrel contains 50 gallons. If the spill is larger than 50 gallons, try to break the
standing water into barrels and then multiply by 50 gallons. This method is useful for contained
spills up to approximately 200 gallons.
Method 2 Measured Volume
The volume of most small spills that have been contained can be estimated using this method.
The shape, dimensions, and the depth of the contained wastewater are needed. The shape and
dimensions are used to calculate the area of the spills and the depth is used to calculate the
volume.
Step 1 Sketch the shape of the contained sewage (see Figure 1).
Step 2 Measure or pace off the dimensions.
Step 3 Measure the depth at several locations and select an average.
Step 4 Convert the dimensions, including depth, to feet.
Step 5 Calculate the area in square feet using the following formulas:
Rectangle: Area = length (feet) x width (feet)
Circle: Area = (diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x 3.14) / 4
Triangle: Area = base (feet) x height (feet) x 0.5
Step 6 Multiply the area (square feet) times the depth (in feet) to obtain the volume in
cubic feet.
Step 7 Multiply the volume in cubic feet by 7.5 to convert it to gallons
Figure 1: Common Shapes and Dimensions
Method 3 Duration and Flowrate
Calculating the volume of larger spills, where it is difficult or impossible to measure the area and
depth, requires a different approach. In this method, the separate estimates are made of the
duration of the spill and the flowrate. The methods of estimating duration and flowrate are:
Duration: The duration is the elapsed time from the time the spill started to the time that the
flow was restored.
Start time: The start time is sometimes difficult to establish. Here are some approaches:
• Local residents can be used to establish start time. Inquire as to their observations. Spills
that occur in rights -of -way are usually observed and reported promptly. Spills that occur
out of the public view can go on longer. Sometimes observations like odors or sounds
(e.g. water running in a normally dry creek bed) can be used to estimate the start time.
• Changes in flow on a downstream flowmeter can be used to establish the start time.
Typically the daily flow peaks are "cut off' or flattened by the loss of flow. This can be
identified by comparing hourly flow data during the spill event with flow data from prior
days.
• Conditions at the spill site change over time. Initially there will be limited deposits of
toilet paper and other sewage solids. After a few days to a week, the sewage solids form
a light- colored residue. After a few weeks to a month, the sewage solids turn dark. The
quantity of toilet paper and other materials of sewage origin increase over time. These
observations can be used to estimate the start time in the absence of other information.
Taking photographs to document the observations can be helpful if questions arise later
in the process.
• It is important to remember that spills may not be continuous. Blockages are not usually
complete (some flow continues). In this case the spill would occur during the peak flow
periods (typically 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:00 each day). Spills that occur due to
peak flows in excess of capacity will occur only during, and for a short period after,
heavy rainfall.
End time: The end time is usually much easier to establish. Field crews on -site observe the
"blow down" that occurs when the blockage has been removed. The "blow down" can also be
observed in downstream flowmeters.
Flow Rate: The flowrate is the average flow that left the sewer system during the time of the
spill. There are three common ways to estimate the flowrate:
The San Diego Manhole Flowrate Chart: This chart, included as Appendix F, shows
sewage flowing from manhole covers at a variety of flowrates. The observations of the
field crew can be used to select the appropriate flowrate from the chart. If possible,
photographs are useful in documenting basis for the flowrate estimate.
• Foowmeter: Changes in flows in. downstream flowmeters can be used to estimate the
flowrate during the spill.
• Counting Connections: Once the location of the spill is known, the number of upstream
connections can be determined from the sewer maps. Multiply the number of
connections by 200 to 250 gallons per day per connection or 8 to 10 gallons per hour per
connection.
For example: 22 upstream connections x'9 gallons per hour per connection
=198 gallons per hour / 60 minutes per hour
= 3.3 gallons per minute
Spill Volume: Once duration and flowrate have been estimated, the volume of the spill is the
product of the duration in hours or days and the flowrate in gallons per hour or gallons per day.
For example:
Spill start time = 11:00
Spill end time = 14:00
Spill duration = 3 hours
3.3 gallons per minute X 3 hours X 60 minutes per hour
= 594 gallons

City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 7 Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
Element 7 Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
This section of the SSMP discusses the City's Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) control measures, including
identification of problem areas, focused cleaning, and source control. This section fulfills the FOG
Control Program requirement for the SWRCB SSMP requirements.
The requirements of the GWDR are:
The City shall evaluate its service area to determine whether a FOG control program is
needed. If the City determines that a FOG program is not needed, the City must provide
justification for why it is not needed. If FOG is found to be a problem, the City must prepare
and implement a FOG source control program to reduce the amount of these substances
discharged to the sanitary sewer system. The FOG source control program shall include the
following as appropriate:
a. An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that
promotes proper disposal of FOG;
b. A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer
system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or
additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary
sewer system service area;
c. The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to
prevent SSOs and blockages caused by FOG;
d. Requirements to install grease rem oval devices (such as traps or interceptors) design
standards for the grease .removal devices, maintenance requirements, BMP
requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements;
e. Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether
the City has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance;
f. An identification of sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establish a
cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and
g. Development and implementation of source control measures, for all sources of FOG
discharged to the sewer system, for each sewer system section identified in (f) above.
7.1 FOG Source Control Program
The City and City of Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa) have signed an Inspection Services Agreement (City
Council Resolution No. 91 -146, authorized in 199 1) that Santa. Rosa will-provide Commercial/Industrial
Inspection Services including notification to users of non - compliance, issuing and renewing discharge
permits, interviews, sampling and monitoring, reporting, record keeping, and related services. A copy of
the Agreement is included as Appendix H.
Under this agreement, the City of Santa Rosa provides the FOG Source Control Program in the City's
service area. The program is focused on food service establishments and includes plan review and
specification of grease removal equipment (based on Uniform Plumbing Code sizing criteria), permitting,
compliance inspections, and enforcement. Santa Rosa requires food service establishments to employ
Best Management Practices.
Updated January 2009 7 -1
City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 7 Fats, Oils and Grease Control Program
7.2 Public Education Outreach Program
The Russian River Watershed Association (RRWA), of which the City is a member, provides a regional
public education program on the proper handling of household grease. The RRWA provides program
support including door hangers and stickers for turkey flyers to educate the public on the proper disposal
of FOG. The RRWA publishes a monthly environmental column in many local area newspapers and
rotates in articles about proper grease and oil disposal, especially during the winter holiday season. The
FOG Program section of the RRWA website provides the public with advice on how to take grease "from
the Pan to the Can" and includes a list of locations where large and small quantities of cooking oil can be
deposited for proper disposal and bio- diesel processing.. Information about the RRWA FOG Program is
available to the public online (www.rrwatershed.org/FOG).
7.3 Disposal of FOG
Local grease haulers can dispose of grease at a variety of regional locations including wastewater
treatment plants (e.g. East Bay Municipal Utility District Treatment Facility in Oakland) and rendering
facilities (e.g. Ukiah, South San Francisco, Sacramento, Chico).
East Bay Municipal Utility District ( EBMUD) maintains a list of approved regional grease haulers, some
of which service the City's service area. The approved grease haulers have a good track record with
EBMUD for proper grease disposal. The EBMUD list of approved grease haulers can be found on their
website
(www.ebmud.com/wastewater / industrial_ &_commercial _permits_ &_ fees /pollution _prevention _program/
FOG /default.htm).
As discussed in Section 7.2 Public Education Outreach Program, the RRWA maintains a list of locations
where residents can take grease for disposal. The RRWA list can be found on their website
(www.rrwatershed.org/FOG).
7.4 Legal Authority to Prohibit Discharges
The City has the legal authority to prohibit discharges of FOG to the wastewater collection system. See
Element 3 Legal Authority for additional discussion of the City's legal authority relating to FOG control.
7.6 Requirements to Install Grease Removal Devices
Section 13.48.070 of the City's Municipal Code requires the installation of a grease interceptor when
necessary, as decided by the City Engineer. Santa Rosa, who issues the Non - Residential Food Service
Discharge Permits in the City's service area as part of the Source Control program, has an Interceptor
Policy that specifies the requirements for interceptor sizing. A copy of the Interceptor Policy is included
as Appendix I. The Santa Rosa Discharge Permit specifies the maintenance, record keeping, and
reporting requirements the permit holder has to meet relative to their grease removal device.
7.6 Authority to Inspect and Regulate Grease Producing Facilities
The Inspection Services Agreement and the City's Sanitary Code provide Santa Rosa's inspectors with
the right of entry onto properties in Rohnert Park. The Inspection Services Agreement establishes that
Santa Rosa shall refer dischargers who are in violation of the Rohnert Park Sanitary Code to the Sonoma
County District Attorney for prosecution. Prior to prosecution, Santa Rosa and the City work collectively
to bring the discharger into compliance. Santa Rosa, working with City staff, will 1) provide a verbal
warning of violation, 2) send a Notice of Violation to the discharger, 3) hold an administrative hearing
with the Discharger, and 4) send an Order to Cease and Desist Sewer Discharge contingent upon
installation of a grease interceptor. If a Discharger does not comply after all four of these actions have
been tried, prosecution can be sought against the Discharger.
Updated January 2009 7.2

7.7 Identification of Grease Problem Areas and Sewer Cleaning
The City currently keeps a record of sewer lines with grease- related problems in an MS Access database.
Grease lines are identified during routine cleanings, from customer calls, or during manhole inspections.
When a line is identified as .having a grease - related problem, it is put on a monthly, qu4rterly, or annual
sewer cleaning cycle as appropriate to manage grease buildup. As the City implements the CCTV
Inspection Program (see Element 4), grease lines will be noted during CCTV inspections and added to an
increased cleaning frequency list (monthly, quarterly, annually) as appropriate.

City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 8 System Evaluation and Capacity
Assurance Plan
Element 8 System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan
This section of the SSMP discusses the City's plan for maintaining adequate hydraulic capacity in the
sewer system, including flow monitoring, hydraulic analysis, infiltration and inflow analysis, and capital
improvements. This section fulfills the System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan requirement for
the SWRCB SSMP requirements.
The requirements of the GWOR are:
The City must evaluate those portions of the sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or
contributing to an SSO discharge caused by hydraulic deficiency. The evaluation must provide
estimates of peak flows (including flows from SSOs that escape from the system) associated
with conditions similar to those causing overflow events, estimates of the capacity of key
system components, hydraulic deficiencies (including components of the system with limiting
capacity) and the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with overflow
events. Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, the City must establish appropriate
design criteria
The City must establish a short- and long -term capital improvement plan (CIP) to address
identified hydraulic deficiencies including prioritization, alternatives analysis, and schedules.
The CIP may include increases in pipe size, III reduction programs, increases and redundancy
in pumping capacity, and storage facilities. The CIP shall include an implementation schedule
and shall identify sources of funding. The City shall develop a schedule of completion dates
for all portions of the CIP. This schedule shall be reviewed and updated at least every two
years.
8.1 Capacity Evaluation
Over the past 2.5 years, the City has not experienced SSOs caused by inadequate hydraulic capacity.
However, since 1999, the City has had a program to quantify .flows in the system through flow
monitoring, identify sources of infiltration/inflow (I/I) that contribute to peak flows, and identify potential
capacity deficiencies based on hydraulic modeling.
8.1.1 Flow Monitoring and Flow Quantification
Total flows in the system are measured on the discharge end of the pump station to the wastewater
treatment plant. Flows are also measured at the connection from Sonoma State University. Wet weather
flow monitoring in the collection system was previously conducted (during years 1999 through 2004) to
quantify flows from 28 sewer drainage basins. The flow monitoring data was analyzed to estimate peak
I/I and peak wet weather flow (PWWF) for a specified design storm. The design storm is a synthetic 5-
year, 6 -hour duration rainfall event as defined in NOAA Western U.S. Precipitation Frequency Maps
Atlas 2, 1973.
8.1.2 Hydraulic Analysis
The City has developed a hydraulic model which includes all pipes in the existing sewer system. The
model was developed and is run by a consultant to the City. Flows in the model are based on the results
of flow monitoring projected to 5 -year design storm, as described above. The model has been used to
quantify flows in each pipe and identify potential capacity deficiencies based on hydraulic evaluation
criteria. The criteria specify the maximum allowable flow depth to diameter ratio (d/D) based on pipe
size, ranging from 0.7 for 6 -inch pipe to 0.9 for 30 -inch pipe.
Updated January 2009 8 -1
City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 8 System Evaluation and Capacity
Assurance Plan
The City has also incorporated flows from future development areas into the model, specifically for six
Specific Plan Areas (SPAS) as well as infill. For evaluating flows from future development, the City has
established flow criteria for determining base wastewater flow, peak dry weather flow, 1/I, and peak wet
weather flow. The model has been used to identify and optimize tie -in points of new development and
existing sewers to a major new trunk sewer, the Eastside Trunk Sewer (see discussion in Section 8.2).
The model will be updated in the future whenever significant changes to planned development are
proposed. The City will also monitor total flows in the system as measured at the downstream pump
station to identify if flows are consistent with planned flows as predicted by the modeling.
8.1.3 Ill Analysis
The City has an ongoing I/I reduction program as part of an overall regional effort for the Santa Rosa
Subregional Wastewater Reclamation System. In addition to flow monitoring, flow analysis, and
modeling, described above, the City has conducted I/I source detection field work, including manhole
inspections and closed - circuit television (CCTV) inspection, to identify specific sources of UI in sewer
basins identified as having the highest I/I contributions. This information has been used to estimate the
amount of I/I that could be reduced through I/I correction projects. Some projects have been
implemented, as described below.
8.2 Capacity Assurance Plan
In 2005, the City constructed a parallel force main to the Santa Rosa Subregional Water Reclamation
Plant to provide sufficient capacity to convey existing and future peak wet weather flows and to provide
redundancy under dry weather flows. The City also constructed a new pump station and'dual force mains
to provide service to the new sewer system in the Canon Manor area.
The City's Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) currently includes two projects related to
capacity:
• Eastside Sewer Project (CIP #WW -07). The Eastside Sewer is a new 18- through 42 -inch
diameter pipeline that will provide capacity for development of new SPAs and capacity relief for
the existing sewer system. Phase I of the project is scheduled to be completed in 2008. Phase II
of the project is currently unscheduled, but likely to be commenced within five years.
• I/I Reduction Program (CIP #WW -01). This program, currently budgeted at $100,000 per
year, is targeted at reducing I/I as part of overall regional effort to reduce flows to the wastewater
treatment plant. Previous phases of the program have included flow monitoring and source
detection, as described above. A manhole rehabilitation pilot project was conducted in 2006, and
another phased manhole rehabilitation project is planned for 2008 and 2009.
Over the next two years, the City plans to conduct further analysis and verification of model results to
determine if additional capacity projects should be added to the CIP. Such work will include ongoing
monitoring of total system flows (as measured at downstream pump stations) to track flow trends and
flow response during large storm events; field inspection of manholes to verify flow depth in sewers
during peak flow periods; and possible additional flow monitoring in the system and/or refinements to the
hydraulic model if considered warranted. Based on these additional analyses, the City will determine
whether additional. capacity improvement projects need to be added to the CIP.

City of Rohnert Park Sewer System Management Plan Element 10 SSMP Audits
Element 10 SSMP Audits
The requirements of the GWDR are:
The City shall conduct periodic internal audits, appropriate to the size of the system and the
number of SSOs. At a minimum, these audits must occur every two years and a report must be
prepared and kept on file. This audit shall focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the SSMP
and the City's compliance with the SSMP requirements, including identification of any
deficiencies in the SSMP and steps to correct them.
10.1 SSMP Audits
The City will audit its SSMP at least every two years. The audit will determine whether the SSMP:
• Meets the current requirements of the GWDR;
• Reflects the City's current practices and procedures; and
• Is being followed by the City.
The first audit will be completed on or before August 2, 2011, and will cover the previous two calendar
years. The audit will be conducted by a team of City Public Works Department staff. The audit team
may also include members from other areas of the City (e.g. Engineering), outside agencies, and /or
contractors.
The scope of the audit will cover each of the sections of the SSMP. The Audit Checklist, based on the
current requirements of the GWDR, will be used to conduct the audit and is included in Appendix J. The
results of the audit, including the identification of any deficiencies and the steps taken or planned to
correct them, will be included in an Audit Report.
The Audit Report will be completed and filed within 60 days of the audit. Copies of the Audit Reports
will be maintained by the City for five years.
10.2 SSMP Updates
The City will update its SSMP at least every five years. The first update will be completed on or before
August 2, 2014. The City may determine the need to update the SSMP more frequently based on the
results of the bi- annual audit and the performance of its sanitary sewer system using information from the
Monitoring and Measurement Program (See Element 9). If it is determined that an update is warranted,
the process to complete the update will be identified.
Consistent with the SSMP re- certification requirements, the City Staff will seek approval from the City
Council for any significant changes to the SSMP. The authority for approval of minor changes (e.g.
employee names, contact information, limited procedural changes) is delegated to the Public Works
Utilities Supervisor.

SECTION 13. CAPACITY SERVICE
ROiiNERT PARK agrees that from and after the date that the City of Santa' -8osa
Subregional Sewerage System.commences operation, it will receive sewage from the ;
sanitary sewer system of STATE in volume and-pollutant loadings not exceeding the
amounts set forth herein and •will convey, 'treat-, and- dispose- of such sewage: ROHNERT
PARK further agrees that STATE shall have and is hereby let the right.each year during
said term to discharge said amounts of sewage into the ROHNERT PARK sewerage system
upon performing its agreements and covenants herein contained. Said right is hereinafter
referred to as' "capacity, servide" which shall be subject to being increased or decreased
as hereinafter provided.
The capacity service in treatment, disposal and reclamation works shall be
average dry weather flow (ADWF) expressed in million gallons per day. Capacity service
with respect to other pollutants may-be defined-when found necessary for equitable
distribution of costs. ROHNERT PARK has contracted for 3.2 MGD service capacity in
the Santa Rosa Subregional Sewerage System and STATE hereby sub - contracts for 0.25
MGD of said service capacity.

in thevent.fihat STATE'exceeds' its capacity service or takes steps which
would cause it to exceed its capacity service without acquiring or providing additional
capacity, ROHNERT PARK shall. notify STATE to obtain compliance with this agreement.
ROHNERT PARK may.require and STATE hereby agrees to place a moratorium on sewer con-
nections until compliance can be obtained. t
SECTION .14. TERM OF CAPACITY SERVICE
The term of capacity service shall commence upon system operation, per Section

PARK shall become effective until appropriate amendments to this agreement are'executed
by ROHNERT PARK and STATE. The amendment must stipulate the revised capacity service
allowances afforded each entity. Further, it must provide for payment adjustments
between the entities'as related to the revision of capacity service. In no case shall
the capacity service of one entity be increased or reduced without the consent of
-the governing body thereof, expressed in writing.
A. Acquisition.of Additional Sapacity Service
STATE'S capacity service set forth in Section 13 hereof may be increased
by the acquisition of additional capacity service from ROHNERT PARK.
STATE shall apply to ROHNERT PARK for such additional capacity service,
stating the amount of additional capacity it desires. ROHNERT PARK shall
determine if additional capacity can be made available to STATE. Such
determination shall consider the design capacity of the system, and the
capacity service needed for its use. .
If the above stated determination shows . that the application should be
denied, ROHNERT PARK shall so notify STATE. If the above stated determina-
tion shows that th application should be granted, ROIiNERT PARK shall
notify STATE that its application is granted and the date on which its
capacity service will be increased to the amount requested.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN-SONOMA COUNTY
AND THE CITY.OF ROHNERT PARK
TO PROVIDE PUBLIC WASTEWATER SERVICE
TO THE CANON MANOR WEST AREA
Recitals
1. This is an agreement (subsequently referred to as the "Agreement ") between Sonoma
County and the City of Rohnert Park describing the circumstances under which the Rohnert
Park will provide public wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services�to the Canon
Manor West area. The Canon Manor West area is located in the unincorporated area of
Sonoma County near the intersection of Petaluma Hill Road and the East Cotati'Avenue.
The Canon Manor West area is depicted on the map attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement.
2. The City of Rohnert Park is a California City. adjacent to -the Canon Manor West area.
The Canon Manor West area is within Rohnert Park'. s sphere of influence, as approved by
the Local Agency Formation Commission. Sonoma County is a California County within
which the Canon Manor West area is currently located.
3. Because existing residential septic systems in the Canon Manor West area have caused
nitrate contamination of groundwater and water wells and other problems, the Canon Manor
West area properties would benefit from (a) public wastewater collection, treatment, and
disposal service and (b) a reliable public potable water supply. Rohnert Park is capable of
and willing to accept, treat, and dispose of. wastewater from the properties in the Canon
Manor West area in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Penngrove Water.
Company, a privately owned public utility regulated by the California Public Utilities
Commission, is. capable of and willing to supply potable water to all properties in the Canon
Manor West area.
4. In order to calculate the proposed parcel assessments for water and wastewater service,
the type of needed improvements to be paid from assessment district bond ,proceeds must
first be determined, and their cost estimated, and the appropriate charge established for each
parcel specially benefited. The Canon Manor West property owners will subsequently
decide in 2001 whether or not to approve an assessment district that will pay for public
wastewater collection and treatment service and potable water service and related costs.
Page 1 of 12
October 11, 2001
5. In this Agreement Sonoma County and Rohnert Park desire to set forth the public
wastewater services which Rohnert Park agrees to supply to existing lots in the Canon Manor
.West area. Sonoma County will then be able to allocate the estimated cost of those
improvements to each parcel in proportion to the special benefit conferred on that parcel.
Pursuant to state law, the owners of the parcels for which an assessment is proposed will
receive a ballot indicating their support or opposition to the proposed assessment.
Subsequently the assessment district may or may not be formed, depending upon the
outcome of the legally required protest ballot procedure and other state law requirements. In
addition, the owners of the parcels for which an assessment is proposed will vote whether. or
not to approve an annual wastewater and private road maintenance fee that will be used to
-reimburse:
(a) Rohnert Park for operating and maintaining, in good working order, the
wastewater collection system in Canon Manor West, and
(b) Sonoma County for the costs. of annually maintaining the roads used for access to
the wastewater collection system and to properties within Canon Manor West.
6. Rohnert Park and Sonoma County wish to enter into this Agreement pursuant to the
authority of, and to satisfy the requirements of, Streets and Highways Code §§10109 through
10111, and specifically Streets and Highways Code § 10110.
