Wastewater Management Study for Cleveland - Akron Metropolitan and Three Rivers Watershed Areas. Summary Report.
Abstract
This Study is concerned with the formulation, design, and assessment of the impacts of alternative plans for area-wide wastewater management for the Cleveland-Akron Metropolitan and Three Rivers Watershed Areas in Northern Ohio. The basic wastewater sources considered in the study are municipal sewage, industrial waste flows, and combined and separate urban stormwater runoff. During this study, the Corps of Engineers examined a wide range of advanced wastewater treatment technologies, formulated alternative plans to achieve a range of effluent water quality goals, and, for four selected alternative plans, illustrated how implementation would be phased in accordance with guidelines established by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The findings of this study, displayed in this report, are intended to be used, primarily, by the State of Ohio and the people in the affected areas to help them select an effective water quality management program. The findings may also assist the Federal Environmental Protection Agency in its review and approval of proposed Ohio water quality standards and plans.
