Service Connections
examples of service lines vs main lines SCDES issues wastewater, construction permits, for, collection systems, . However, if a proposed line meets the definition of a, service connection or service line, , a SCDES permit is not required. SCDES only permits main lines. Generally speaking, a service line is a line or group of lines serving a single building. While a more thorough definition is found in, Regulation 61-67, .100.D.44, the single building example is typical. Where two service lines come together, the downstream line is defined as a main line or main sewer. Main lines need to be permitted by SCDES. See chart for an illustration. Special Cases. For alternative collection systems (septic tank effluent pumping systems), the main line actually begins at the tank/pump point, even though the tank/pump may…Submittal Packages for Wastewater Construction Permits

Wastewater construction image SCDES issues discharge permits (e.g.,, NPDES, ) for wastewater treatment plants. For domestic facilities, these permits are based on the facility design flow. For example, a plant that could treat 5, MGD, (average) would reflect a design flow of 5 MGD. At any given time, the actual flows at a plant would typically be less than its design capacity. Cities are constantly adding new, collection systems, to accommodate residential, commercial and industrial growth. For our hypothetical 5 MGD plant, it would not be surprising to see it flowing at 3 MGD on average. At this point, we have defined two concepts: Design flow and actual flow. To track true available capacity, SCDES identifies another concept: permitted capacity or obligated capacity. Beyond actual flow, flow has been obligated via the…, 803-898-3574, .Delegated Review Program (DRP) for Wastewater Construction Permits
Background, In the 1950s and 1960s most public entities did not have design standards for, collection systems, . The public entities relied upon the Department to ensure the sewer collection systems connecting to their systems were properly designed and constructed. In the 1970s more public entities started developing design standards for their sewer systems. This was done for several reasons. One reason was to standardize the materials and equipment used so operation and maintenance of these systems were…, Why the Program Was Developed, Since sewer plans and specifications are required by the, SC Pollution Control Act, to be submitted to the Department and the Department reviews these submittals, there were actually two reviews of the same plans - one review by the local entity and one review by the Department. This duplicate review was disconcerting to all. In order to eliminate the duplicate review of collection system plans and specifications and allow the Department to still meet its legal mandate to have…, How the Program Works, In the Delegated Review Program, construction plans and specifications for collection systems are first submitted to a participating public entity. The public entity conducts the technical review of the project using their Department approved specifications and design criteria. The public entity also coordinates the project with the local, 208 planning agency, and, for projects in the coastal zone, the Department's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management. Once the local entity completes its technical review and has obtained the, 208 plan, and coastal zone management plan conformance certifications, the project is submitted to the Department by the local entity with certification that the project meets the design standards and criteria of the approved local program. The Department does not normally conduct another technical review of a project submitted through an approved local delegated review entity. The Department only conducts…, permitting capacity, which has not already been committed to other proposed projects. Projects submitted to the Department under this program are normally permitted within two or three work days of their receipt by the Department. The Department periodically conducts a detailed review of a DRP submittal to ensure a participating entity is properly administering the program. Normally no more than 10% of the DRP…, The Guidance Document entitled the Delegated Construction Review ProgramGuidance Documents and Brochures for the Wastewater Construction Permit Program
