City of San Leandro <br />Sewer System Management Plan <br />Volume I <br />P a g e | 35 <br />Section 10 – SSMP Program Audits <br />D.13.(x) SSMP Program Audits: As part of the SSMP, the Enrollee shall conduct periodic internal audits, <br />appropriate to the size of the system and the number of SSOs. At a minimum, these audits must occur <br />every two years and a report must be prepared and kept on file. This audit shall focus on evaluating the <br />effectiveness of the SSMP and the Enrollee’s compliance with the SSMP requirements identified in this <br />subsection (D.13.), including identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and steps to correct them. <br />SSMP Audits Discussion <br />The City will conduct an internal audit of the SSMP at least once every two years. The audit will <br />result in a report of the findings, including the identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and <br />proposed steps to correct them. The two-year frequency is the maximum allowed by the <br />regulation; however this frequency is appropriate to the size of the City’s collection system and <br />the historical number of overflows, and should be sufficient to identify any necessary <br />improvements to the SSMP. The City will assess the need to audit its SSMP more frequently <br />based on the performance of its sanitary sewer system using information from the key <br />performance indicators and input from Collection System staff. All elements of the SSMP will <br />be reviewed using an audit checklist. The audit will include comments regarding recently <br />completed program updates and any recommendations for future actions, changes, or <br />adjustments to an element. Upon completion of the audit, the WPC Manager will keep a copy of <br />the audit report on file for review, and the Change Log will be updated to reflect insertion of the <br />audit report into the SSMP. <br />The City will update its SSMP at least every five years. The first update was completed <br />December 2016.
