3. Ifthe design flow is less than 100 gallons per person per day, is the total based on an analysis of actual existing per
capita flow to the treatment facility? (Answer NA only if the per capita flow is 100 gallons per persons per day or
more.) What is the per capita design flow?

5. Are all sewers designed without an overflow or bypass point?
6. Are all gravity sewers at least 8 inches diameter? (Answer NA only ifthere are no gravity sewers)
7. Are all sewers sufficiently deep to receive wastewater from basements and to prevent freezing or
is insulation provided for sewers that are not placed at a depth to prevent freezing? .
8. If there are sewers that cross or enter any water body, has the Department of Natura] Resources
been contacted to determine ifthey wili require a permit for construction? (Answer NA only if
there are no sewers located in a water body?
Do the design plans and specification contain specific size and location requirements for reaction
blocking or pipe restraint to withstand water hammer and other cyclic reversal of stresses
associated with lift station operation? (Answer NA only ifthere are no gravity sewers)
Is there an air re]iefvalve shown at all high points in force mains? (Answer NA only ifthere are
no pressure sewers)
Are grinder pumps or other solids rem ova] equipment included for any force main that is less than
4 inches in diameter? (Answer NA only if there is no pressure sewer)
Are all sewers designed with mean velocities when flowing full, of at least 2.0 feet per second,
based on Manning's formula using and "n" value ofO.013?
Is the slope of 8-inch diameter gravity sewer at least 0.40%; IO-inch diameter sewer af least
0.28%; 12-inch diameter sewer at least 0.22%; 14-inch diameter sewer at least 0.17%; 15-inch
diameter sewer at least 0.15%; 16-inch diameter sewer at least 0.14%; and I8-inch diameter sewer
at least 0.]2%? The pipe diameter and slope shall be selected to obtain the greatest practical
velocities to minimize settling problems. Oversizing sewers to achieve flatter slopes should not be
done. If proposed slopes are less than those listed above, what is the depth of flow and velocity of
flow at the average wet weather flow and peak hourly wet weather flow for affected pipe sections?
A WW flow (mgd) = Depth of flow = (ft.) Velocity = (fps)
PHWWflow (mgd) = Depth of flow = (ft.) Velocity= (fps)
If sewer grades are less than those listed above, sedimentation problems, frequent sewer maintenance, and
backups may result. Ail sewers with a slope less than the minimums listed above be cleaned at least once
per year to ensure problems to not develop and to develop a site specific maintenance interval.
Are individual service connections to the sewer designed to be water tight and do not protrude into
the sewer?
Are all sewer pipes and water supply pipes separated horizontally by at least 10 feet and vertically
by at least 1.5 feet?
Are all manholes at least 48 inches in diameter? (Answer NA only ifthere are no manho]es.)
Are all manholes constructed to prevent surface water run off from entering through the cover?
Are drop manholes used at locations where the sewer pipe enters the manhole at an elevation of24
inches or more above the manhole invert? (Answer NA only if sewer pipes enter at an elevation
less than 24 inches)
