Report to Congress: Impacts

and Control of CSOs and SSOs

This report was delivered to Congress on Thursday, August

26, 2004. The Report presents a comprehensive

characterization of CSOs and SSOs, including the extent of

environmental and human health impacts caused by CSOs

and SSOs, the technologies used by municipalities to

address these impacts, and the resources spent by

municipalities to control CSO and SSO discharges. The

Report finds that the occurrence of CSOs and SSOs is

widespread, and that CSOs and SSOs cause or contribute to

environmental and human health impacts. Further, the Report

finds that there are many existing structural and nonstructural technologies that are well-suited for CSO and SSO

control (EPA 833-R-04-001).
