This is the semiannual compliance progress report filed by the City of Lima, Ohio under the Consent Decree (Case 314-CV-02551-JZ) covering the period January 1 – June 30, 2021. Lima reports no outstanding deadlines or noncompliance for the period, with several capital projects either completed (Headworks, SEP, Phase 2 sewer rehab) or ongoing (CMOM Plan, Simmon's Field CSO EQ Basin), and Phase 1 sewer rehab halted in litigation but out for rebid. The report inventories 65 SSO and 7 CSO overflow events across numerous system locations, 3 Water-in-Basement events, and no NPDES permit exceedances.

SSO/CSO overflow totals for period: 65 SSO events, 7 CSO events (YTD totals as reported in the table). Table header notes "Report Updated on 7/3/2020" which appears to be a carry-over template error; the reporting period is 1/1/2021–6/30/2021. Duration and volume data are not provided per-event in the table; only frequency (count of overflow events) is listed. CMOM section reports 20,722.77 linear feet (3.92 miles, 3.9% of SSS) cleaned; 22,837 linear feet CCTV inspected (4.33 miles, 4.3% of SSS); 201 manholes inspected; 3 manholes rehabilitated; 2 new manholes installed; 12 point repairs on gravity sewer mains. case_no NORMALIZED FOR THE JOIN. This report's text layer renders the citation as "CASE: 314-CV-02551-JZ Doc #5 Filed: 01/13/15" — the colon is missing from "3:14", and the trailing "Doc #5 Filed: 01/13/15" is a filing inside the case rather than the case. Every other document in this chain prints 3:14-CV-02551-JZ, so the colon is an OCR drop, not a different case. The field carries the canonical number so this row joins edoc-412983.order.yaml; the printed form is preserved here rather than discarded.
