13 Interim Partial and Global Consent Decree Status Summary Report Hamilton County/City of Cincinnati, Ohio I. INTRODUCTION Prior to the approval of the Final Wet Weather Improvement Plan (WWIP), the Quarterly Consent Decree (QCD) Reports submitted by Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (GC) were developed and submitted in two parts, one for each consent decree, and the report included both quarterly progress and historical information. After approval of the Final WWIP by the Court, GC developed this comprehensive quarterly report which addresses only activity from the quarter being reported. Historical information, including all prior quarterly and annual reports, is available on the website at for review or download. This quarterly report meets the requirements of: The Interim Partial Consent Decree on Sanitary Sewer Overflows (IPCD or SSO CD), first lodged on February 15, 2002, The Global Consent Decree on Combined Sewer Overflows, Wastewater Treatment Plants, and Implementation of the Capacity Assurance Program Plan for Sanitary Sewer Overflows (GCD or CSO CD), lodged on December 3, 2003, and amended in August The Final Wet Weather Improvement Program (Final WWIP), approved by the U.S. District Court in Q Consent Decree Quarterly Status Report Page 1

MAJOR REMEDIAL MEASURES CIP Projects (EXHIBIT 3, IPCD) The Interim Partial Consent Decree and Global Consent Decree require reporting of information on projects active (work performed, contracts in place, funds being spent) during Q For all of the projects and bundles listed below, some stage of completion will be achieved during Phase 1, although not all are scheduled for construction during that time frame. This section is provided to comply with: - IPCD (Section IX, Reporting Requirements) Part A Section 6A and Exhibit 3 - GCD (Section XV, Reporting Requirements) Part A Section 6 and Exhibit 1 - Final WWIP, Attachment 1A. A summary of the WWIP milestones required in the Final WWIP, both achieved and planned, is shown below. GC has currently met milestones as far ahead as 2016, and currently no delays are anticipated that would impact achievement of the remaining milestones.

15 Interim Partial and Global Consent Decree Status Summary Report Hamilton County/City of Cincinnati, Ohio When reporting on construction projects, GC uses the following definition of Substantial Completion from the Global Consent Decree to mark the end of a project with respect to the Construction milestone: Substantial Completion of Construction shall mean completion of construction and installation of equipment such that the system may be placed in full operation, and will both function and perform as designed. This specifically includes all control systems, instrumentation, and all residual handling systems. (Page 17, Global Consent Decree) The acceptance of the Final WWIP affected the requirements for this section. As a result, studies related to Phase 1 decisions and planning activities for WWIP Phase 2 are included at the end. A. IPCD Reporting Requirements The Interim Partial Consent Decree on Sanitary Sewer Overflows included numerous capital projects in a variety of areas.
