  "definition": "1. The use of a portion of the volume of a storm sewer or drain, combined sewer and/or interceptor sewer system that is not being used to transport combined wastewater or stormwater to accommodate the storage of additional stormwater runoff or combined wastewater. This term also applies to a storage facility, such as a tank, basin, or other reservoir, which is connected to a sewer system in such a way that all flow in the system passes through the storage facility. In the latter usage, inline storage is differentiated from offline storage, which is connected in such a way that excess flow can be diverted to the storage facility, but normal flows bypass the facility. See also Off-Line Storage.\n\n2.
