Nine Minimum Control Status

Most of the communities are progressing toward full implementation of the NMCs.

Proper Operation and Maintenance and Pretreatment are two of the NMCs that are below 90% implementation.

Focus now is LTCP submittal which incorporates NMC implementation.

Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) Status

Only 2 Communities have not submitted a LTCP and 17 Communities are still waiting on State Approval.

Currently 43 out of the 49 CSO Communities have either a Federal or State enforcement action against them.

The LTCP for Louisville MSD was revised in 2012 and is currently being reviewed for approval by EPA and KDEP, with approval anticipated later this fall.

Coraopolis Borough is waiting on a revised LTCP.In Pennsylvania, 3 Communities have completed the

Presumption Approach (85% capture) and two Communities are underway.

CSO Data Request

ORSANCO staff has been working with Region 5 on the Bacteria TMDL. The TMDL Workgroup has made several attempts to obtain data directly from each CSO Community, but information is still lacking to obtain a complete understanding of the characteristics of many of them.

ORSANCO staff has also sent out data requests and has received little feedback.

Region 5 has requested more information from the CSO Communities with a deadline of November 1, 2013.

Once more data is available ORSANCO plans on compiling it and using it to track the CSO Communities progress.

CSO data will also be available electronically through the ICIS-NPDES database which will make gathering this data easier in the future.
