These facilities have been operating in excess of 10 years and have generated extensive data on the characteristics of combined sewage and the effectiveness of retention treatment basins to control and treat wet weather discharges. The long duration of data collection has provided additional insights ...
Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs): A combined sewer is a sewage collection system of pipe and tunnels designed to also collect surface runoff. Combined sewers can cause serious water pollution problems during combined sewer overflow (CSO) events when wet weather flows exceed the sewage treatment plant...
It can have a major impact on local economies as a consequence of closed beaches or shellfishing grounds—particularly when it is associated with combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and malfunctioning sewage treatment plants. The marine debris wash-ups along the coast of New Jersey in 1987 and New...
Product is manufactured using principally new resources, largely petroleum based.
