Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
New 80 MGD Treatment Facility Required
If you live or work in Youngstown, Ohio, the city must now complete the CSO 6057 Control Measure Project, a proposed 80 million gallon per day treatment facility that uses cloth-disk filter media technology to treat wet weather flows. The Consent Decree Amendment replaces the prior Wet Weather Facility Project requirement with this new CSO 6057 project to reduce sewage and stormwater releases.
Sewer Replacement Deadline Added
The Revised Implementation Schedule requires Youngstown to complete the West-Division Interceptor Sewer Replacement to reduce combined sewer overflows. This change makes the sewer replacement an explicit required milestone under the amended Consent Decree.
Phase 1 Schedule Accelerated
The Amendment replaces Chapter 5 of the Long-Term Control Plan with a Revised Implementation Schedule that establishes deadlines for the CSO 6057 project, compresses and accelerates the schedule for the Mill Creek Project, and moves up deadlines for reports to propose projects for Phase 2. These schedule changes aim to speed up pollution-control work under the Consent Decree.
