The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated in 2004 that the volume of combined sewer overflows discharged nationwide is 850 billion gal per year. Meanwhile, the EPA also estimated that sanitary sewer overflows, caused by blocked or broken pipes, result in the release of as much as 10 billion gal of raw sewage.

The Power to Separate   Water & Wastes Digest March 2004   By Austin Meyermann
In stormwater applications, gravity separators catch and retain a variety of pollutants, such as sediments, oils, trash and organic debris. These systems intercept surface water runoff and are typically installed underground as part of the storm drain system.

In A Pinch   Water & Wastes Digest February 2004   David Lavender
Today, there is legislation to eliminate combined sewer overflows. Heavy fines are levied by the EPA against communities that violate this law. The EPA has been reasonable with enforcement because the costs are great--not to mention that it will take time to expand the infrastructure. However, as municipalities and utilities have learned, eliminating overflow events is a must.

Flow Monitoring Springboards City to System-wide Sewer Management Solution   Water & Wastes Digest April 2003
The forward-looking Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSDGC) saw a dynamic model of most of Cincinnati's collection system as the tool that would support improved sewer system management, including sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) and combined sewer overflow (CSO) control, planning, and operations.
