U.S. EPA's Manual of Practice for the Investigation and Control of Cross-Connection Pollution into Storm Drainage Systems.

摘要

Dry-weather flows discharging from storm drainage systems can contribute significant pollutant loadings to receiving waters. If these loadings are ignored, little improvement in receiving water conditions may occur with many stormwater control programs. The paper summarizes the first phase of an EPA sponsored research project to develop a manual to investigate these connections to assist local governments in identifying the magnitude and sources of cross-connections in their storm drainage systems.
