1.0 GOAL
1.1 Regulatory Background This Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is required under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ, adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on May 2, 2006. The WDR stipulates that the permittees, which include the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), must develop and implement a Sewer System Management Plan in order to reduce Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). Additionally, the Sewer System Management Plan provides measures to ensure efficient and effective response to overflows, and implement source control measures to minimize the introduction of grease and oils, and other materials that may cause blockages.
The SWRCB developed this WDR to promote uniformity in the management of California’s wastewater collection systems and reduce SSOs. The SWRCB found that districts that have implemented SSMPs similar to this have been effective not only in improving spill reporting, but also in mitigating SSO impacts. Data also supported the conclusion that better collection system management will benefit water quality and prolong the life of sanitary sewer systems.
The SWRCB regulates sanitary sewer overflows based on its delegated authority to implement this program from the EPA, with a regulatory basis in the federal Clean Water Act (EPA 2002) and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, Section 13263 (California Water Code of the Regulation 2006).
1.2 Purpose and Goals of the SSMP This document has been developed to comply with WDR Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ, which is included in Appendix A and sets specific wastewater collection system requirements for all permittees and upholds State water quality standards. The WDR requires permittees to prepare and implement a SSMP in order to:
• Provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system in order to provide reliable service in the future;
• Minimize infiltration/inflow (I/I);
• Reduce and prevent SSOs;
• Help mitigate any SSOs that do occur. Sanitary sewer overflows are overflows from sanitary sewer systems of domestic, industrial and/or commercial wastewater. SSOs may cause a public nuisance, particularly when untreated wastewater is discharged to waters designated for contact

2.0 ORGANIZATION
2.1 Administration and Maintenance Organization The administrative responsibility for the UC Berkeley Collection System is shared among several departments including Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S), Facilities Services (FS), Residential and Student Service Programs (RSSP), Intercollegiate Athletics (IA), Associate Students of the University of California, Berkeley (ASUC) and Construction & Design (C&D). The responsibilities of each department are summarized below and an organizational chart is included in Figure 2-1.
EH&S: The implementation of permit requirements and reporting to regulatory agencies is the responsibility of EH&S, including tracking and reporting of all SSOs, 2-hour notifications to agencies as well as development and implementation of the SSMP. EH&S also provides support to all parts of operation and oversees enforcement actions.
FS: The Associate Director – Operations is considered the permittee for the sanitary sewer system. FS is responsible for the overall operation and maintenance of the system including contractor oversight making repairs on the system.
RSSP, IA and ASUC: Grease traps and interceptors are located within several housing facilities and food facilities. The managers of RSSP, IA and ASUC are responsible for the maintenance of the grease traps or interceptors located at their respective facilities.
C&D: Construction & Design is responsible for the management of the design and construction of additions, rehabilitations or modifications to the sanitary sewer system.
2.2 Monitoring System and Reporting SSOs UC Berkeley utilizes a variety of methods to monitor the status of the sanitary sewer system, including: dye testing, CCTV testing and visual/lamping examinations. In addition, the campus public (defined as staff, faculty and students) are always on campus and can notify facilities maintenance staff of any issues with the sanitary sewer system. Monitoring tests are conducted when an abnormality appears in the system and are documented through the employee timecards through SPAN, FS work-order tracking system and/or on DVD. In addition, Strawberry Creek on campus is continually monitored for water temperature, conductivity and water flow rates with results posted online. This is helpful in detecting sanitary sewer overflows to the storm drain system.
Reporting and certification reminders are placed on the EH&S Environmental Compliance Calendar which is a part of the University-wide calendaring system (bCal). Reminders and other notifications are sent out to members of the EH&S Environmental Protection team, which consists of Environmental Specialists and the Associate Director of Environmental Protection.

Members of the University community who observe an SSO may call the following departments to report SSOs:
• FS at (510) 642-1032, • EH&S at (510) 642-3073 or the • Campus Emergency Dispatch Phone Line at (510) 642-3333.
The Chain of Communication for Sanitary Sewer Overflows is outlined in Figure 2-2. Emergency response procedures for SSOs are described in Appendix B, the Overflow Emergency Response Plan (OERP).
2.3 Facility Description The UC Berkeley campus is one of ten University of California campuses governed by the Regents of the University of California. The 2012-2013 population, which included students, faculty, staff, visiting scholars, researchers, visitors and vendors, was approximately 57,708 (based on University of California, Office of the President (UCOP) Statistical Summary and Data on UC Students, Faculty and Staff [http://www.legacy-its.ucop.edu/uwnews/stat]). The property included within the boundaries of UC Berkeley and served by the Campus sanitary sewer system is shown on the map provided in Appendix C, which is updated periodically. The boundary includes UC Berkeley’s Central and the Hill Campus. The latest version is maintained by FS. The Campus sanitary sewer system connects with the City of Berkeley sanitary sewer system. Soils at UC Berkeley are classified primarily as silty clay and the average annual rainfall for the area is approximately 24 inches.

2.4 Sanitary Sewer System Description The UC Berkeley Collection System serves the majority of the campus, stretching from the bottom of main campus to upper Strawberry Canyon locations. The UC Berkeley campus and the areas served by the UC Berkeley sanitary sewer system are shown on the map provided in Appendix C.
The sanitary sewer system at UC Berkeley has been in use since approximately 1867 and comprises of over 8 miles of gravity sewers. Original pipe has been replaced as upgrades or repairs have been required or new facilities have been constructed. The piping consists of a combination of vitrified clay, cast iron, polyvinyl chloride, asbestos and cement among other materials. Sanitary sewage is collected from campus buildings that house administration, research, residential and dining hall facilities. The system ultimately feeds to the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) wastewater treatment plant.
There are several lift stations/pump stations on the central campus and east campus. Table 2-3 details the pump station inventory for stations outside of the building footprint. The central campus has multiple pump stations that are within the building footprint but are not included in the inventory. Pump stations within the building footprint are not reported in the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). This is to provide consistency in reporting methodology since sewer laterals are calculated from the building footprint to the manhole. However, sewer pump stations within the building footprint are inventoried in Table 2-4.

3.0 LEGAL AUTHORITY The Regents of the University of California is a Constitutional Corporation, organized under Article IX, Section 9 of the California Constitution, with full authority over governance and management of the University operations. Under this authority, the University of California has legal authority to:
• Control infiltration and connections from inflow sources, including satellite systems.
• Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed.
• Ensure proper installation, testing and inspection of new and rehabilitated sewers (such
as new or rehabilitated collector sewers and new or rehabilitated laterals).
• Limit fats and greases and other debris that may cause blockages in the collection system.
• Prevent illicit discharges into its system (e.g., stormwater or chemical dumping).
• Ensure access for maintenance, inspection or repairs of all portions of the system operated by UC Berkeley.
• Implement the national pretreatment program authorities specified under 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1).

A. Operations and Maintenance
“Provide adequate operations and maintenance of facilities and equipment” Operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer is the responsibility of Facilities Services (FS). This includes maintaining all lines, lift stations, force mains, and alarm systems. The department is also the first responder to sanitary sewer overflows.
(Interim) Associate Director, Operations
Karen Lobo
(510) 642-9369
B. Update Maps
“Maintain an up-to-date map of the collection system showing all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves, and storm water conveyance systems.” The maps of the sanitary sewer system are either in AutoCAD or hard copy format.
• Sanitary sewer maps are in AutoCAD (kept on the FS server) and hard copy format (in FS and EH&S offices). Maps are being updated to show line size and material type. The current map has partial details regarding manholes including manhole identification numbers and pump stations.
• In March 2013, UC Berkeley purchased a license to begin to use SewerGEMS, a sanitary sewer modeling solution. SewerGEMS will be used to plan, design and analyze the collection system. Pipe characteristics and conditions will be documented in SewerGEMS.

C. Maintain Information for Establishing Priorities
“Maintain relevant information to establish and prioritize appropriate SSMP activities such as the elimination of overflows and identify and illustrate trends in overflows.” Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) is responsible for maintaining records regarding SSOs. All records are kept on the EH&S server and an additional copy may be kept in the EH&S hard copy files. Overflows of any amount of wastewater are reported to EH&S. EH&S tracks overflows and assesses the frequency and volume of overflows and works with campus departments to reduce and prevent overflows.
Associate Director, Environmental Protection
Greg Haet (510) 642-4848
D. Preventative Maintenance
“Routine preventative maintenance O&M activities by staff and contractors.” UC Berkeley has has measures in place in order to keep the system in good repair and prevent excessive infiltration/inflow, service interruptions and system failures. This is done through scheduled regular maintenance and cleaning of the collection system, which is summarized below. Routine Inspections:
• Pump Stations: Inspections conducted periodically, at least annually. • Manholes: Manholes are regularly inspected monthly on a 3-year
schedule. • Hot spots: Hot spots (as indicated in Appendix C) are visually
inspected quarterly. When applicable, hot spots are routinely assessed using CCTV at least semi-annually.

Routine Maintenance: • Root control: Maintenance from root intrusion is conducted on an as-
needed basis, documented in the FS work order system. • Lower Sproul: Twice a year (or as necessary) the sewer system in
the Lower Sproul area is cleaned using a hydrojet in targeted areas. This maintenance is documented through the FS work order system. An MOU has been written to ensure this work takes place on a regular schedule (Appendix D). Currently, this routine maintenance has been placed on hold due to the construction associated with the redevelopment of Lower Sproul. Upon completion of the project in 2014, routine maintenance will be re-assessed.
E. Scheduled Inspections and Condition Assessment
“Identify and prioritize structural deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency.” Long term planning: UC Berkeley is continually updating the infrastructure of the campus over time, including the sanitary sewer. The sanitary sewer system was evaluated and long-term planning recommendations made by CS Young Engineers, Inc. in 1993, presented in University of California, Berkeley, Utility Infrastructure Assessment, Sanitary Sewer System Study, Final Report (CS Young Engineers, Inc. 1993). UC Berkeley is implementing the upgrades in phases and as budget allows. Over time, the sanitary sewer infrastructure renewal will address rehabilitation and replacement of sewer pipes which are at risk of collapse or are prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe deficiencies.

UC Berkeley has hired West Yost Associates to produce an Infrastructure Utility Master Plan and the reported is expected to be completed by April 2015. The Infrastructure Utility Master Plan will develop a prioritized capital improvement program for long-term recommended infrastructure improvements, an assessment of the condition of the existing system facilities and inventory. Short term actions: Short term actions are taken on an as-needed-basis depending on information gathered during inspections. FS Utilities Operations will work with C&D and EH&S as necessary to develop short-term project scope and subsequently implement the project, all to be documented in the FS work order system. Short term actions implemented through this method include the following:
• Grease interceptor or trap installation • Identification and replacement of laterals • Manhole replacement • Reverse grade and root intrusion corrections
F. Training
“Provide training on a regular basis for staff collection system operations, maintenance and monitoring and determine if contractors’ staffs are properly trained.” Training is conducted by EH&S, FS and RSSP. The three departments are responsible for training staff in the following areas: EH&S:
• Provides regular exposure control training for FS Utilities Operations and RSSP staff.
EH&S and FS and RSSP

• All EH&S training is documented internally. FS and RSSP:
• Provides regular technical training for staff responding to sewer spills; most training is on the job and is not officially documented.
• Provides technical training when new systems are installed to operators of the system. Training on new systems is documented.
• Responsible for overseeing operations of contractors. UC Berkeley utilizes a service agreement for outside contractors to perform maintenance on the sewer system. The service agreement contract stipulates that contractor’s staff must be properly trained; this is documented through the language in the contract.
G. Equipment
“Provide equipment and replacement parts inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts.” A stock parts and equipment, including emergency pumps, lights and generators is maintained. Repairs that require equipment or materials beyond existing capabilities are executed by an outside contractor via a service agreement contract. Currently, a service agreement is maintained with Roto-Rooter.

Berkeley owns and operates all of the laterals and mains. Policies adopted in this plan, specifically Section 8, Source Control Program, are adopted by all entities at UC Berkeley. The additional items below comprise the outreach program to the community. The following measures are adopted in order to foster the successful implementation of the SSMP and disposal of grease and fats by those that use the sanitary sewer system:
• A copy of the UC Berkeley CS SSMP will be posted on the UC Berkeley EH&S website (http://ehs.berkeley.edu).
• Signs listing the best management practices for working with fats, oils and grease will be posted in the work areas of employees who use the grease traps or interceptors on campus.
• Inspections for proper disposal of grease and fats as well as regular maintenance on grease traps will be included in routine inspections by the campus sanitarian and environmental protection team. These inspections are documented by EH&S and maintained in electronic format on the EH&S server.
o Contractual language in third party food providers lease agreements stipulate that vendors maintain adequate grease controls.
I. Private Property Overflow Plan
“Establish a plan for responding to overflows from private property that discharge to public right of ways and storm drains, to prevent discharges from overflows to surface waters and storm drains.” Public-private partnerships (P3) properties that are on UC Berkeley land have contractual agreements on responsibilities for management of the

sanitary sewer systems. Memorandums of understandings also identify maintenance and operations responsibilities. For private property overflows that enter UC Berkeley property, UC Berkeley will alert the entity who owns the sewer lines involved and assist in coordinating response, as necessary.
J. Staffing for System Operations
“Describe staffing available to ensure system operation including developing, implementing and revising the SSMP.” The responsibility for system operation is shared among several departments and is summarized in Figure 2-1, Administrative Responsibilities for UC Berkeley Collection System. There are approximately 2 FS staff members that operate the sanitary sewer system as a whole and 8-11 FS staff members which assist in the operation of the sewer system inside University buildings. There are approximately 3 RSSP plumbers. Staff is available 24 hours a day, 365 days to operate the system. The SSMP revision and implementation will be accomplished by EH&S Environmental Protection Team, in cooperation with FS, RSSP and C&D. Together, these departments ensure the operation of the sanitary sewer system.

5.0 DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE PROVISIONS The University of California, Berkeley has established Construction Design Standards (CDS) for construction projects on campus; these design standards are available on the UC Berkeley Construction & Design webpage, realestate.berkeley.edu/design. Standards for sanitary sewer installation, rehabilitation and repair are included in CDS Division 2-Site Work. The Construction Design Standards are currently undergoing revision in 2014.
Construction & Design is responsible for ensuring the design standards are implemented on campus. There are two categories of design and performance provisions specified in WDR No. 2006-0003-DWQ, discussed below.
5.1 Standards for Installation, Rehabilitation and Repair The CDS outlines construction specifications for installing new sewer systems and for rehabilitation and repair of existing sewer systems. Design criteria include specifications for items such as pipe materials, minimum sizes, minimum cover, strength, minimum slope, trench and backfill, structure standards, and other factors. Any new construction, rehabilitation or repair of the sanitary sewer system will adhere to the CDS.
5.2 Standards for Inspection and Testing of New and Rehabilitated Facilities Inspection and testing of new or rehabilitated facilities ensures that the established standards are being implemented in the field. Acceptance testing for gravity sewers can include: low pressure air test or water test to identify leakage, mandrel test to identify deflection of flexible pipe, water or vacuum test of manholes to identify leakage, and television inspection to identify grade variations or other construction defects.

6.0 OVERFLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
6.1 Objective and Purpose The Overflow Emergency Response Plan is attached as Appendix B to this Sewer System Management Plan and has the purpose of establishing guidelines and measures to protect public health and the environment in case of an accidental sewer overflow.
In the case of an overflow, UC Berkeley shall dispatch the appropriate crews to investigate, identify the cause, and provide appropriate service to minimize the effects of the overflow on public health and quality of surface waters. The Overflow Emergency Response Plan further specifies the required notification and reporting that is necessary for local and state agencies.
All utility personnel should be required to read the Overflow Emergency Response Plan and familiarize themselves with the procedures. Training is made available for all utility personnel on the Overflow Emergency Response Plan. The plan should be posted on the Environment, Health & Safety website to allow easy access for all utility personnel and the general public.
6.2 Overflow Emergency Response Plan Update The Overflow Emergency Response Plan is reviewed on an annual basis by EH&S, RSSP and FS. Interim changes are incorporated into the document by EH&S on an as needed basis.
Comments, updates, and other relevant information should be submitted to EH&S for review, consideration and incorporation.

7.0 FOG CONTROL PROGRAM This fats, oils and grease (FOG) control program has been developed as part of the UC Berkeley CS SSMP, and buildings upon the on-going FOG Best Management Practices Fact Sheet that UC Berkeley has in place (Appendix D). The purpose of the program is to reduce the amount of fats, oils and grease discharged to the wastewater collection system.
7.1 Current Infrastructure There are many grease control devices on the UC Berkeley central and hill campus. The locations of these grease control devices are listed in Table 2-5.
There are other food service facilities on the central and hill campus which currently do not have grease control devices. During future renovations or additions, UC Berkeley plans to install grease control devices as necessary. Current restaurants are required to follow the Fats, Oils, and Grease Best Management Practices Fact Sheet, posted on the EH&S website.
There are multiple RSSP food service facilities owned by UC Berkeley (example: Crossroads and Unit 3 Dining Commons), but not part of the central and hill campus. The wastewater from these facilities does not drain into the campus sanitary sewer system. These facilities adhere to source control measures established by EBMUD and are not included as part of this SSMP.
7.2 Elements of FOG Control Program The elements of the FOG control program include identification of grease blockages, maintenance, BMPs, record keeping practices and inspections. The details are provided in Table 7-1.

A. Identification of Grease Blockages and Maintenance Requirements
Grease blockages are identified through routine inspections of the sanitary sewer system. The inspections are conducted as part of the regular scheduled maintenance and cleaning of the system, which is outlined in Table 4-1, Measures and Activities, Parts D and E. System maintenance includes both preventative maintenance and maintenances of parts of the system determined to be in need of cleaning during routine inspections. Preventive maintenance procedures are outlined in Table 4-1, Part D. Blockages, sanitary sewer overflows or increased maintenance of laterals/mains that are caused by fats, oils and grease are reported to East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). UC Berkeley and EBMUD are part of a joint enforcement program that was established in 2016, which includes hot spot investigation.

B. Installation of New Grease Traps or Interceptors
Installation of a new grease trap or interceptor may be recommended based on inspection and maintenance of the system. Installations of new grease traps or interceptors will conform to EBMUD’s design specifications. Design plans for new grease traps and interceptors will be reviewed by Facilities Services (or Residential and Student Services Programs) and Environment, Health & Safety.

BMPs are in place to prevent the introduction of grease and fats into the sanitary sewer and consist of training. Many employees are students. Therefore, there is high turnover. Training occurs upon hiring by the kitchen manager.
• Kitchen staff are trained upon hire on BMPs to ensure that they are implemented.
• Kitchen staff are trained upon hire on bulk grease practices. Bulk grease is not washed into the sanitary sewer. Additionally, grease in pans is not washed down the drain.
• Excess grease that is generated from grilling or frying is collected in a dedicated container. The grease is disposed of by a grease hauler.
• Grease traps are cleaned once per three month period, at a minimum, but an approved grease hauler.
• If a grease interceptor is not working properly, either FS or RSSP is contacted.

8.0 SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE PLAN UC Berkeley has an on-going long range infrastructure rehabilitation initiative that will address shortfalls and deficiencies within the sanitary sewer system and upgrade key components as necessary to meet loads associated with future growth expectations.
8.1 System Evaluation and Capacity Enhancement Measures UC Berkeley is continually updating the infrastructure of the campus, including the sanitary sewer. The sanitary sewer system was evaluated and long-term planning recommendations made by CS Young Engineers, Inc. in 1993, presented in University of California, Berkeley, Utility Infrastructure Assessment, Sanitary Sewer System Study, Final Report (CS Young Engineers, Inc. 1993). In addition, Winzler and Kelley Consulting have been contracted to complete a capacity and system evaluation of the sanitary sewer lines serving Memorial Stadium and the Chemistry Complex on Campus.
The Campus Infrastructure Master Plan and Renewal Investment Strategy, was published November 2015, which evaluated each utility system, including the sanitary sewer system. Multiple capital improvement projects came from this study and is listed in Table 8-1.
In 2015, UC Berkeley hired a third party to begin collection system evaluation. CCTV inspections are being conducted by Roto Rooter using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) evaluation standard – Pipeline Assessment & Certification Program (PACP). As of 2016, Roto Rooter has completed evaluated all gravity mains on the Central Campus. We expect sanitary sewer lines to be cleaned and videotaped by 2020. Once all sanitary sewer lines are cleaned and videotaped, we will create a 5 to 10 year schedule based on the evaluation. By 2025, UC Berkeley will perform a current condition assessment of all sanitary sewer laterals for properties where UC Berkeley owns and maintains the sanitary sewer lateral.
By 2035, UC Berkeley will rehabilitate any sanitary sewer laterals that have deficiencies and will certify that each lateral is water or air tight, free of roots, structural defects and inflow/infiltration.
8.2 Design Criteria EH&S and FS are involved in plan review for projects on campus involving infrastructure upgrades and construction projects which may have an environmental or infrastructure impact. During plan review, EH&S and FS ensure that sanitary sewer design meet best practices and campus design standards.

Future Two gravity mains should be upsided from 8-inch diameter to 10-inch diameter. The hydraulic analysis indicates that the existing 8-inch gravity mains between Manhole 60 to Manhole 59 and Manhole 59 to Manhole 58 are using a high percentage of capacity. The possible future addition of the Le Conte Hall flows triggers a required improvement to 10-inch diameter gravity mains.
$195,000 TBD

The collection system in the vicinity of the Valley Life Sciences Building and of the LSB Addition suffers from cross-connections with the storm drain system, poor condition and lack of capacity. The gravity mains between Manhole 45 and Manhole 42 should be replaced should be replaced at 8-inch diameter. During this replacement, new manholes should be installed to remove cross-connections to the storm sewer system, which currently shares some manholes in this area. All gravity mains between Manhole 40 and Manhole 38 should be replaced and upsized to 10-inch diameter gravity main. The gravity main between Manhole 40.8 and Manhole 38 should be replaced with a 10-inch diameter gravity main.
