Wastewater Treatment Facility Flow Rate Data Review

MVRPC staff requested and received Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) data in 2022 for all wastewater treatment facilities serving communities in the Miami Valley Region. Provided in spreadsheet format by Ohio EPA, the data covered five full years (60 months) of reported daily flow rate for each facility.

MVRPC reviewed that data to better understand the current status of available plant capacities across the Region. Using a methodology that is detailed in the report (and reviewed by the Management Agencies that operate the facilities) the Flow Rate Data Review sorts the wastewater facilities in our Region into tiers based on the percent of design capacity at which the facility typically operates. Facilities were categorized as either an “Immediate Concern,” “On Watch,” or “No Concern.”

The Review report suggests three uses for this methodology and data:

• Consideration of new permits-to-install (PTI) for wastewater collection infrastructure
• Consideration of Facility Planning Area boundary changes
• Planning for future Climate Change

To read the full data review methodology and see detailed findings for each facility in the Region, please refer to Appendix S, above.

Areawide Water Quality Management Plan Amendments | MVRPC

Amendments to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan are subject to the approval of the MVRPC Board of Directors. Prior to Board consideration, amendments are reviewed by the MVRPC Technical Advisory Committee and the MVRPC Areawide Facility Planning Subcommittee. Amendments may touch on any topic area covered in the AWQMP, but practically speaking, most amendment activity is in the area of wastewater treatment Facility Planning Areas. Typically, the FPA are modified geographically to indicate new areas of service. Also, a FPA can be sub-divided to show areas of current service, expected future service and areas not expected to be served by sewers.
