The bulletin entitled Recommended Standards for wastewater Facilities, 1991 Edition, and supplements thereto, as well as other information are used in examination of the design, operation and maintenance aspects of the proposed system. Sewer plans are recommended for approval on the basis that the system is to collect only domestic sewage and such industrial or other waste as may have been provided for in the design. Foundation or footing drains to collect ground water and roof drains or o ther ' surface water conduits should not be connected to the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and inspection by a qualified representative of the owner should be provided at all times during construction to assure that the project is constructed in compliance with the approved plans and speci f i'ca t ions The Agency assumes no responsibility for the integrity of structures or physical features, or for the reliability, durability or efficiency of specific items of propriety equipment or material.
