A major Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWTP) spill is when wastewater that is not fully treated leaves the SRWTP property, gets in a stream or river, endangers public health and/or creates a nuisance.
[more detailed descriptionA spill is a release of untreated or partially treated wastewater from an unpermitted location. A major spill at SRWTP is one which goes offsite, reaches surface water, endangers public health, or is a nuisance. The data is expressed as the number of spills per 12 months.]

Purpose

This service level reflects proper capacity, operation and maintenance of facilities at the SRWTP.

Critical Activities

Critical work activities that influence spills include planning for adequate system capacity, design of reliable facilities, maintenance of facilities to assure that they are in good operating condition, training of staff to assure good operational practices are followed, implementation of methods to detect spills quickly and implementation of response procedures. Regardless of whether facilities are managed properly, spills can still occur due to extreme or unusual operating conditions that were not planned for during the design of the facilities.
