Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)

Read about UCSD's Sewer System Management Plan.

Purpose

UCSD has developed and is implementing the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system under campus control. The SSMP will help reduce and prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), as well as mitigate any SSOs that do occur.

Plan development began in summer 2007 and is now complete. The public is invited to review and comment on the Sewer System Management Plan (PDF).
