Combined sewer overflows during rainfall events contain sewer sediments and surface pollutants. This can cause significant chemical, physical and biological problems to receiving watershed. However, there are no method that can commonly apply to decide criteria for controlling the pollutant load. In this study, it sets up the reduction goals of combined sewer overflow through long-term simulation using the rainfall-runoff model. From a review of domestic and foreign management standard of combined sewer overflow for this, it makes decision that 60% (phase 1), 85% (phase 2) of total pollutant load and frequency per year for reduction goals is more proper. Also, the result of analyzing long-term simulation (minimum 10 years) applied to research basin indicates that reduction goals of BOD pollutant load are 1,123 kg (phase 1) and 2,374 kg (phase 2), and overflow volumes for research objective achievement are $11,685m^3$ (phase 1) and $24,701m^3$ (phase 2).

It is muck important to determine the intercepting capacities as measures for reducing the load of contamination influenced by CSOs during wet weather period. Intercepting and treating the whole rainfalls can be best measured for reducing the contamination load, but it is not desirable in view of scale and preservation of the wastewater treatment facilities. This study analyzed the quantity and quality of the water in the combined sewer by method of changing the type and size of drainage basin and intercepting capacities in rainfalls, estimate the influence the other CSOs at the change of planned intercepted quantity, and compared the degree of contamination load between the combined system and separate system by examining the influence of the other CSOs at the change of planned intercepted quantity.
