BackgroundDriver Balance water quality needs with limited
resources Regulatory agencies original focus on
CSOs/SSOs EPA to consider funding constraints and
more water quality demands than CSO/SSO control

Concept
An Integrated Plan may: Affect schedule duration Change order of project implementation
An Integrated Plan will not: Replace a LTCP Reduce investment in water quality Reduce level of CSO/SSO control
ConsiderationsDo you need more time to
implement your program?
Is LTCP taking undue priority over facility renewal?
Are there other Water Quality programs on
horizon?
Start Integrated Planning Process
Community Values
Capital Needs(i.e. List of Projects)
Quantify Project Benefits
Prioritization/ Ranking Criteria
Define Affordability Criteria
Implementation Schedule
Considerations
Start Integrated Planning Process
Community Values
Capital Needs(i.e. List of Projects)
Quantify Project Benefits
Prioritization/ Ranking Criteria
Define Affordability Criteria
Implementation Schedule
Health, Safety, Flood Control, Reduce Overflows, System Renewal, Service Reliability, etc
Projects with Capital Costs, O&M Costs, Life Cycle Evaluations
Identify project benefits. Preferable if one project has multiple benefits (i.e. flood control and CSO Reduction)
Develop criteria based on Community Values to assign relative importance
Include Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater costs into affordability. Evaluate using census track data across municipality (identify impact on range of neighborhoods).
Implement in NPDES permits with 5-year terms provides adaptability as conditions change.Realistic Schedule with Quantifiable Community Benefits.
Advantages/Disadvantages
Advantages More water quality benefit faster More cost effective program
Disadvantages Time/cost to support proposed integrated
plan Inclusion of other water quality needs in
enforceable document
Integrated Plan ElementsEPA Framework1. Water Quality, Human Health and Regulatory Issues
2. Existing Systems and Performance
3. Stakeholder Involvement
4. Evaluating and Selecting Alternatives
5. Measuring Success
6. Improvements to the Integrated Plan
Integrated Plan Elements1: Water Quality, Human Health and Regulatory Issues
Understand benefits of plan components as well as LTCP components Water Quality Human Health Regulatory
Integrated Plan Elements 2: Existing Systems and Performance
Integrated Plan Elements 3: Stakeholder Involvement
Expanding LTCP stakeholder involvement to broader areas

ImplementationWho is pursuing integrated planning?
Seattle, WA King County, WA Cincinnati, OH Evansville, IN Springfield, MO Columbus, OH DC Water
ImplementationLessons Learned IP means something different to all Community is the drive – It won’t work otherwise Need “control” over what you have included
(commitments will be binding) Be realistic regarding the added risk being accepted “Better” solution not cost savings Documentation required (but not a document)
