Dear Mr. Mohammed:
In accordance with your completed permit application received February 19, 2021 we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0042246, dated February 22, 2021 to Pilgrim's for the time -
limited operation of a domestic wastewater pump and haul operation. This permit shall become
effective February 22, 2021 and will expire on August 21, 2021; shall void previously issued
Permit No. WQ0041789 which expired on January 10, 2021; and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. This cover letter shall be considered a part of
this permit and is therefore incorporated therein by reference.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 13, which requires accurate record keeping and
reporting. Also note Permit Condition 18, which requires that the facilities associated with the
pump and haul activities be inspected and pumped as often as necessary to prevent any
malfunctions, overflows, or nuisances.
Permission is hereby granted to Pilgrim' s for the operation of:
• A domestic wastewater pump and haul operation for the 204,000 gallon lined lagoon
located at the facility to allow for design and construction of upgrades to the existing
stormwater system to prevent excess stormwater from flowing into and infiltrating the
wastewater collection system.
• The anticipated flow for this pump and haul operation is 60,000 gallons per hauling event
more or less of domestic and industrial wastewater generated at the facility. It is the
Permittee' s responsibility to notify the Division within 24 hours if the flow volume
estimated above is exceeded by any amount on any day.
