1) Combined sewers and lift stations serving combined sewers must be able to handle 350 percent of the average daily flow (based on best available information) before overflowing.

2) Interceptors serving both combined sewers and sanitary sewers must be able to accommodate 250 percent of the average daily dry weather flow (based on best available information) from the sanitary sewers tributary thereto and 350 percent of the average daily dry weather flow from the combined sewers tributary thereto before overflowing.
