City of San Leandro SSMP Plan Development and Schedule GOALS ELEMENT The objective of the Goals element is to identify goals the City has established for the management, operation and maintenance of the sewer system and discusses the role of the SSMP in supporting these goals. The City is required to develop goals to manage, operate, and maintain all parts of its collection system. The goals should address the provision of adequate capacity to convey peak wastewater flows, as well as a reduction in the frequency of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and the mitigation of their impacts. In addition, goals should address desired performance, safety, levels of service, resource requirements to adequately sustain the system while meeting the objectives of the SSMP going forward. City's Plan: Our mission is to provide the most cost-effective service that provides sustainable stewardship of the City's sanitary sewer infrastructure. Our goal is to identify deficiencies in our programs and services, to reduce spills and adequately convey flows during peak wet weather event. • To pursue a sustainable environment through excellence in wastewater collection and treatment, storm water management and water recycling; • Be available and responsive to the needs of the public, and work cooperatively with local, state, and federal agencies to reduce, mitigate impacts of, and properly report SSOs; • Properly manage and maintain the City's facilities to minimize SSOs; • Provide the necessary resources in terms of operations and maintenance personnel, condition and capacity assessments, criticality and risk assessment, and capital budgeting requirements; • Identify, prioritize and continuously renew and replace sewer system facilities to maintain reliability; • Provide capacity for peak wastewater flows from the design storm event, as defined in the City's Sewer Hydraulic Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan; Implement regular, proactive maintenance of the system to remove roots, debris, and fats, oils and grease in areas prone to blockages that may cause sewer backups or SSOs; and • Uphold the City's standards and specifications on newly constructed public and private sewers. The City has and will continue to adopt goals that result in adequate capacity to convey peak flows, reduce and prevent SSOs, as well as to mitigate any SSOs that occur. The City's goal is to meet all of the prohibitions relating to SSOs discharged to the waters of the United States, including those that cause a nuisance as defined in California Water Code Section 13050(m).
