Description Of Incident: The facility was inundated with excessive flows that caused solids to be lost from the SBR basins. These solids overflowed out of a recirculation manhole. Surface stormwater carried the overflow to McCabe's Brook. It appears that the solids did not reach the brook and settled out on the lawn at least 30 yards from the brook.
