COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAMS. A. Inflow and Infiltration (“I/I”) Study. 1. Within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City shall continue to undertake to complete an Inflow and Infiltration (“I/I”) assessment within the City to determine I/I “hot spots” within the City’s system, i.e. segments of sewage pipelines where structural damage may allow significant infiltration and inflow of stormwater, ground water and/or sea water into pipelines. A salt water intrusion study shall also be completed to determine the areas of potential salt water intrusion within the City’s collection system. The City has already engaged RMC Engineers to perform portions of this study. The studies will also provide for targeted field investigations to identify sources of I/I. The primary methods of identifying I/I will be smoke testing, physical inspections of manholes and, in areas of salt water intrusion, closed circuit television inspection of sewer pipelines. The City can satisfy the requirements of this Section II.A.1 through compliance with Section IV.B, Capacity Assessment, of the A.O. To the extent the requirements of, or the current October 15, 2010 completion date for, A.O. Section IV.B is modified by the EPA, then the City’s obligations under this Section
