InteractiveGIS Makes EPA Compliance Easy.
Let’s say you’re a municipality trying to comply with the EPA’s proposed Sanitary Sewer Overflow regulation. If your town has an overflow, it could be assessed a $25,000 fine per incident, per day. You’ll have to gather a lot of data and hire an engineering firm to inspect your municipal sewer pipes, check capacity, and look for bottlenecks. This can be costly and time-consuming. You can save some costs by having your data organized and easily accessible by your engineering consulting firm-but it still requires a great investment in time, effort, and money.
With our interface’s Manhole Inspection tool, simply click on a manhole on your digital map. The system will tell you the age, size, and capacity of connecting pipes-and whether there are any bottlenecks along its length that might cause problems. This initial system snapshot can save municipalities thousands in fees and fines -and help them comply with EPA regulations quickly and efficiently.
