SUBJECT: Draft National Pollutant Discharge

Reference is made to the above mentioned Draft National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permit. We have reviewed this permit
application and determined that the proposed discharge will not be
sufficiently close to any existing or known proposed public water supply
intake so as to create an adverse effect on water quality.
We concur with the issuance of this permit provided the facility is
operated and maintained properly, the stated effluent limits are met prior to
discharge, and the discharge does not contravene the designated water
quality standards.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
