The analysis shall consider alternatives such as providing improved operation and maintenance, infiltration and inflow reduction, and removal from all sources, wastewater equalization or storage facilities, sewer and lift station replacement or rehabilitation, the treatment of overflows, peak flow treatment schemes at sewage treatment facilities, expansion of sewage treatment facility capacity, and any other construction of new or modified sewerage system components.
NR 110.10 Note
Note: When evaluating feasibility of alternatives, the department may consider factors such as technical achievability, the relationship between the control of storm water and the control of infiltration/inflow into the sewage collection system, costs and affordability of implementation, and risks to public health, the environment, and welfare of the community served by the sewage collection system.
NR 110.10(4)(c)
(c) Identification of specific short and long term corrective actions. Schedules for implementation shall be established giving greatest priority to those actions that will protect public health and minimize environmental risk.

Note: Portions of a system evaluation and capacity analysis plan may include results from an infiltration/inflow analysis or a sewer system evaluation survey under s.
NR 110.09 (5) or s.
NR 110.09 (6), respectively.
