National Technical Conference on

Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) is sponsoring a technical

conference on Sanitary Sewer Overflows

(SSOs). This conference is sponsored by

the EPA Office of Research and

Development’s Center for

Environmental Research Information in

Cincinnati, OH, in cooperation with the

EPA Office of Wastewater Management

in Washington, DC.

Background and Purpose

Thousands of municipalities across

the nation are serviced by separate

sanitary sewer systems. A chronic

problem that faces many of these

systems is the occurrence of sanitary

sewer overflows (SSOs). Caused mainly

by the infiltration and inflow of wet

weather flows and blockages and flow

restrictions in the sewer system, these

SSOs can pose a risk to public health

and the quality of our nation’s waters.

The U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) is currently in the initial

stages of evaluating issues associated

with SSOs. To bring together

individuals from across the country to

discuss the technical and institutional

issues related to SSOs, EPA’s Office of

Research and Development is holding

this conference on SSOs in cooperation

with the EPA Office of Wastewater

Management in Washington, DC. All

interested persons are invited.

The purpose of this conference is to

examine each major issue relating to

SSOs by providing an open forum for

the presentation of papers and

discussions dealing with the technical

and institutional issues related to the

causes, effects, management and control

of SSOs. This conference will include

presentations and discussions of the

following issues relating to SSOs:

• Problem definition and identification

• Monitoring and reporting

• Sewer system analysis and modeling

• Infiltration (including RII) and inflow

sources

• Exfiltration

• Sewer system design and construction

for SSO prevention

• Sewer system inspection, operation,

maintenance and rehabilitation

• Building sewer inspection and

maintenance

• Treatment plant issues

• Regulatory/institutional issues

DATES: The Conference will be held on

April 24–26, 1995. On the 24th, the

meeting will begin at approximately

10:00 a.m. EST and run until about 5:00

p.m. On the 26th, the meeting will run

from about 9:00 a.m. until completion.

ADDRESSES: The Conference will be held

at the Renaissance, Washington, DC

Hotel—Downtown, 999 9th Street, NW.,

Washington, DC 20001, (202) 898–9000,

Conditional Exemptions from TSCA

Section 4 Test Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA is granting conditional

exemptions from the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA), section 4 test rule

requirements to certain manufacturers

of chemical substances subject to these

rules.

DATES: These conditional exemptions

are effective on March 31, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James Willis, Acting Director,

Environmental Assistance Division

(7408), Office of Pollution Prevention

and Toxics, Environmental Protection

Agency, Rm. E–543B, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460, (202) 554–1404,

TDD (202) 554–0551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice grants conditional exemptions

from TSCA section 4 test rule

requirements to all manufacturers of the

chemical substances identified below

who submitted exemption applications

in accordance with 40 CFR 790.80. In

each case, EPA has received a letter of

intent to conduct the testing from which

exemption is sought. Accordingly, the

Agency has conditionally approved

these exemption applications because

the conditions set out in 40 CFR 790.87

have been met. All conditional

exemptions thus granted are contingent

upon successful completion of testing

and submission of data by the test

sponsors according to the requirements

of the applicable test rule.

If the test requirements are not met

and EPA terminates a conditional

exemption under 40 CFR 790.93, the

Agency will notify each holder of an

affected conditional exemption by

certified mail or Federal Register notice.

This conditional approval applies to

all manufacturers which submitted

exemption applications for testing of the

chemical substances named in the final

test rules listed below from January 1,

1994 through December 31, 1994. Any

application received after that date will

be addressed separately.
