(vi) Overflow Emergency Response Plan: Each Enrollee shall develop and implement an overflow; emergency response plan that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment. At a' minimum, this plan must include "the following: (a) Proper notification procedures 'so that the primary 'responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all SSOs in a timely manner; (b) A program to ensure appropriate response to all overflows; (c) Procedures to ensure prompt .notification to appropriate regulatory, agencies and other. potentially affected entities (e.g., health agencies, regional water boards, water suppliers, etc.) of all SSOs that potentially affect public health or reach the waters of the state in accordance with the'MRP. All SSOs shall be reported in accordance with this MRP,'the California Water Code, other State Law, '' and other applicable Regional Water Board WDR or NPDES permit requirements. The SSMP should identify the officials who will receive immediate notification. (d) Procedures to ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of and follow the Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained; (e) Procedures to address emergency operations, such as ' traffic and crowd control and other' necessary response activities; and (f) A program to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to contain and prevent the discharge of untreated and partially treated wastewater to'waters `of the United States and to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the 'environment resulting from the SSOs, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as may be necessary to determine the nature and impact of the discharge. Purpose The purpose of the City of San Leandro's Overflow Emergency Response Plan (OERP) is to support an orderly and effective response to Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). The OERP provides guidelines for City personnel to follow in responding to, cleaning up, and reporting SSOs that may occur within the City's service area. This OERP satisfies the SWRCB Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR), which require wastewater collection agencies to have an Overflow Emergency Response Plan. Policy The City's employees are required to report all wastewater overflows found and to take the appropriate action to secure the wastewater overflow area, properly report to the appropriate regulatory agencies, relieve the cause of the overflow, and ensure that the affected area is cleaned as soon as possible to minimize health hazards to the public and protect the environment. The City's goal is to respond to sewer system overflows as soon as possible following notification. The City will follow reporting procedures in regards to sewer spills as set forth by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB) and the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
