City of San Leandro <br />Sewer System Management Plan <br />Volume I <br /> <br />Page | 21 <br /> <br /> <br />Training <br />All Collections System staff receive regular training utilizing both in-house resources and <br />outside vendors and wastewater organizations such as CWEA, WEF, and California State <br />University, Sacramento (Office of Water Programs) courses. The safety and compliance training <br />records are maintained by the City’s Human Resources Department and are always available for <br />review. Professional training completed by Collections System staff is maintained electronically <br />by the Collections System Supervisor. <br />All new Collections System staff are required to become certified as Collection System <br />Maintenance Operators Grade I through CWEA and current staff are strongly encouraged to do <br />so. CWEA Grade II certification is a requirement for advancement from Collections System <br />Maintenance Worker I to Collections System Maintenance Worker II. A requirement of <br />maintaining the CWEA certificate is to complete documented annual professional training. In <br />addition, all camera truck operators must obtain NASSCO certification. <br />Contingency Equipment and Replacement Inventories <br />The City of San Leandro has the following equipment available for emergency operations and <br />collection system maintenance. <br />• 1 truck-mounted continuous rodder <br />• 1 combination cleaning truck <br />• 1 hydro jet cleaning truck <br />• 1 closed circuit television truck <br />• 2 emergency response trucks <br />• 1 emergency response trailer <br />The majority of the City’s lift stations incorporate a two-pump design to provide for seamless <br />operation in the event of a pump failure. All lift stations are part of a SCADA network with <br />remote alarm capability. For the stations without a second pump in the station, collection system <br />design allows the system to surcharge to a given level and then go to gravity until repairs can be <br />made. All lift stations have a replacement pump in stock. <br />With the exception of regularly manned, securable, low flow facilities, all sewer lift stations are <br />fitted with a bypass pump connection, portable generator connection, and/or a permanent <br />emergency generator set. The City maintains a fleet of portable diesel trash pumps and <br />generators in sufficient quantity that a City wide event would not prevent transmission of sewage <br />to the plant. <br /> <br />108
