During wet weather events, separate and combined wastewater collection systems deliver substantial amounts of storm water runoff to wastewater treatment plants. Often these flows inundate collection systems and treatment works creating bypasses of untreated or partially treated wastewater. The federal Clean Water Act (CWA), its amendments, and associated regulations have been attempting to address these concerns for nearly 30 years. These regulations, coupled with the wastewater treatment standards under the CWA, are posing immense challenges to the owner/operators of wastewater systems, who are also driven to provide the most cost-effective service to customers. This project (WERF Project 00-CTS-6, "Best Practices for the Treatment of Wet Weather Wastewater Flows") undertook a review of currently available technologies to improve the performance and efficiency of wet weather wastewater treatment and also identified potentially beneficial technologies and methodologies that are emerging in this area. The project report includes the types and characteristics of current technologies and methodologies available to ensure treatment of wet weather wastewater flows. The following are the categories of technologies are assessed in report: vortex separation, enhanced clarification, operational enhancements, flushing systems, and disinfection.

In the gay Mafia, pretty boys are more dangerous than their pistols. Derek Reed is just your average gay guy in Flamingo Cove, Florida. His days consist of running errands for numerous clients and occasionally having sex with the hot architect on the fourth floor in his apartment building. When sexy Rocco Malonni insists on questioning Derek about Fisk Devereaux, the local drug dealer and one of Derek's friends, all hell breaks loose in Derek's so-called average life. Rocco turns out to be the son of Florida's biggest mobster, and Derek accidentally falls for the steamy bad boy in all black. But, dating a Godfather's sexy son has its price. Derek soon learns more than he should about Rocco. Fisk steals $200,000 from the Mafia boss. Add in numerous kidnappings, a gay wedding, an avant-garde mystery writer, how to use a Colt .45 like a hairdryer, a cat named Princess Scampers, a porn-perfect bodyguard named Hurricane Brass and an underground bedroom for secret lovers. What do you get? Mafia madness with a whole lot of sexy. If Derek wants to be a part of the Malonni family, he has to work for it. Whether it be by gunning down bad guys of the Baskin Fish Company or escaping from isolated islands along Florida's coasts, it's all worth it - especially if he lands Rocco in the end, taking the SKIN TOUR of the mobster's built body.
