The agreement provides funding to support the CT deep OSG program to provide subawards through the state agency and its OSG program for costs associated with the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects. Activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and development of overflow and/or stormwater infrastructure projects.subrecipient:- eligible project general categories: 1) combined sewer overflow correction, 2) sanitary sewer overflow correction, and 3) stormwater and subsurface drainage water. The projects can be publicly or privately owned. Only capital projects are eligible, including infrastructure planning, design, construction, and equipment purchases. Operations and maintenance activities are not eligible for funding. Eligible projects may include: 1. CSO correction: O installation of separate sanitary and storm sewers O downspout disconnection O overflow tanks/tunnels O infiltration/inflow correction O conveyance infrastructure related to CSO correction O real-time control systems for CSO management O planning and design activity related to an eligible capital project 2. SSO correction: O infiltration/inflow correction O enhancement of collection system, pump station, or treatment facility capacity for the purposes of mitigating ssos O real-time control systems for SSO management O other capital projects for the purposes of mitigating or preventing the impact of stormwater on wastewater collection O planning and design activity related to an eligible capital project 3. Stormwater and subsurface drainage: gray infrastructure - conventional piped drainage and water treatment systems designed to move urban stormwater away from the built environment. Examples include: O traditional pipe, storage, and treatment systems O collection and treatment systems for reuse O real-time control systems for CSO management O sediment controls including: O filter fences O storm drain inlet protection O street sweepers O vacuum trucks - planning and design activity related to an eligible capital project green infrastructure - section 502 of the CWA defines this as '...the range of measures that use plant or soil systems, permeable pavement or other permeable surfaces or substrates, stormwater harvest and reuse, or landscaping to store, infiltrate, or evapotranspirate stormwater and reduce flows to sewer systems or to surface waters.' examples include: O green roofs, blue roofs, green streets, and green walls O rainwater harvesting collection, storage, management, and distribution systems O real-time control systems for harvested rainwater O infiltration basins O constructed wetlands, including surface flow and subsurface flow (e.g., gravel) wetlands bioretention/bioswales (e.g., rain gardens, tree boxes) O permeable pavement O wetland/riparian/shoreline creation, protection, and restoration O establishment/restoration of urban tree canopy O replacement of gray infrastructure with green infrastructure including purchase and demolition costs - planning and design activity related to an eligible capital project other capital projects for the purposes of mitigating or preventing the impact of stormwater on wastewater collection or treatment; projects RE: section 319 (non-point source program), 320 (national estuary program), 122 (watershed pilot projects) outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include plans, designs, and/or constructed overflow or stormwater infrastructure. Additional deliverables may include integrated stormwater management master plan; technical design documents; sanitary sewer overflow control solutions, including plans and specifications for the sanitary sewer overflow project to correct and reduce inflow and infiltration. The expected outcomes are: the outcomes provided from this grant are expected to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overfl
