PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The water to be discharged will be the supernatant from
the settling pond. The influent into the settling pond will be
generated from three (3) sources as follows: (1) 12,000-15,000
gpd seven days per week from wasting water prior to plant start-
up (2) 55,000 gallons every 10-12 days from filter backwash (3)
150,000 gallons from cleaning a basin (each of two basins is
cleaned twice per year for a total of 604000 gallons per year).
The supernatant will be discharged to the receiving stream
by a 70 gpm pump. It is recommended that the permit be issued.
