Vitrified-Clay Sewer Pipe This pipe is resistant to very dilute chemicals except hydrofluoric acid and is produced as standard-strength and extra-strength (ASTM C700). It is used for sewage, industrial waste, and storm water at atmospheric pressure. Elbows, Y branches, tees, reducers, and increasers are available. Assembly is by poured joints which allow for ample angular deflection. Joint com-... 

Process, chemical, or oily water sewer system branch and lateral lines should enter main lines through vapor-sealed and vented manholes. Branches and laterals in clean or storm water drainage systems may enter main lines without vapor seals if liquid-sealed catch basins are used on the inlets to these branches and laterals. 

Figure 10.13 Proportion (%) of bioavailable DON from (a) agricultural (b) urban/suburban storm water, (M and L were sites on streams with residential storm water flow, while G was located as a sewer grate receiving runoff from residential and business areas) and (c) pasture and forest sources, utilized by estuarine plankton over different seasons (e.g., spring, summer, and fall). (Modified from Seitzinger et al., 2002c.)...

The waste streams in most large plants can be classified under four basic sewer systems (1) Oily-water sewer, (2) acid (chemical) sewer, (3) storm-water sewer and (4) sanitary sewer. Typical sewer systems are shown in Figure 8-1. The design and operation of each type will be described in detail. 

Wash water collected in these surface-drainage areas should be collected in the acid sewer. Where possible, however, storm-water surface drainage should not be run into the acid sewers, if avoidable. 

The storm-water sewer should be designed to collect the maximum surface drainage. This is to include the rainfall in one hour, wash water not of a contaminated nature and cooling water when not returned in return headers to the cooling water facilities. 

Fire water from hoses should be included in the storm water nmoff, if flooding would cause damage to installations and present a hazard during fire fighting operations. The storm-water main should be run to the battery limit and connected to the trunk sewer. 

Refinery and chemical plant sewers collect storm water, spent cooling water, condensate, varying amounts of spills and leaks and, under emergency conditions, fire water and blow-down. Sometimes separate storm sewers are used and an... 

The storm-water sewer should be provided with oil skimmers and a trash screen before final discharge to the point of disposal. 

Paved or unpaved areas in outlying locations not adjacent to process equipment or buildings should be divided into surface drainage areas. These areas will most likely be free from contamination and may be channeled into the storm-water sewer. 

Fire water from hoses should be considered in the sizing of any sewer system, depending on the unit area location of any hazardous hydrocarbon and flammable chemical equipment. If fire water is to be included in the estimated maximum flow quantities, sizing should be based on (1) fire water plus total process waste waters or (2) storm water plus total process waste water — whichever is the greater. 

Sanitary sewer- A sewer system designed for the collection of waste water from the bathroom, kitchen and laundry drains, and is usually not designed to handle storm water. 

Storm sewer- A sewer system designed to collect storm water and is separated from the waste water system. 

Storm water is considered one of the three leading causes of pollution in U.S. waters. Permits are required for storm water discharge, and contingencies must be made for storm water to be separated from sanitary sewer systems. 

Wastewater discharged into sanitary sewers includes domestic sewage, commercial wastewater and to some extent industrial wastewater. The waste-water is typically transported by gravity to a municipal wastewater treatment plant, where the waste is treated before discharge into a receiving stream. In communities that do not have separate storm water sewers, the sanitary sewers may also serve to convey storm runoff to the wastewater treatment facility.

A hook-up to the appropriate outlet (sanitary sewer, storm sewer, surface water body) is available on or near the site. 

A slope chosen for the case study is located in Southeast Washington D. C., and a plan view of the slope site is shown in Figure 2. There exist a parking lot, a storm water collection system, water and sewer systems and pavements within the area of the slope located. The ground movement within the slope had caused extensive damages to the facilities and properties. Moreover, the slope failure has caused considerable inconvenience as well as safety concerns to the publics. In order to stabilize the distressed slope, the remedial solutions to the slope are presented on the basis of the probabilistic method and the current conditions of the...
