note
case_no normalized for the join: printed as "3:14-CV-02551-JZ Doc #5 Filed: 01/13/15", where the trailing text is one FILING inside the case rather than the case. The field holds the case number alone so this row joins edoc-412983.order.yaml.

⚠ Gaps in the record
  • ⚠️ THIS ENUMERATION IS PARTIAL. 49 discharge_events are recorded, but the report's own OverflowTotals row states 119 SSO and 13 CSO overflows for the period — 132 in all. The rows below are a SAMPLE of the period, not its total, and must never be counted as one. The remainder sit in the same garbled spreadsheet scan described elsewhere in this series and are recoverable from the page images.
  • Report date inferred as 2017-07-31 (the filing deadline); actual signature date is not printed but the document was received by Ohio EPA NWD on July 31, 2017 per the received stamp.
  • CSO overflow counts for Annual Report numbers 414, 016, 015, 038, 012, 011, and 013 are not legible in the OCR or image scan and have been left null.
  • EPA ID for Annual Report #015 appears as '2PE0000095' in the OCR — likely a truncation; recorded as printed.
  • EPA ID for Annual Report #011 printed as '2PE000000/1' — apparent OCR artifact; recorded as printed.
  • Discharge event volumes and durations are not provided in the Overflow Totals Report as attached; only event counts (frequency) are recorded per location.
  • The report_date is set to 2017-07-31 as the due date; the received stamp confirms July 31, 2017.
