THANK YOU Scardina, Maureen From: White, Sue Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 10:50 AM To: Scardina, Maureen Subject: RE: DRAFT PERMITS (New River Basin) Hi Maureen: No real comments on either of these. Parkway (67016) is essentially a new plant, very well run. DMR numbers are nearly always compliant. Squeaky clean sand filter system. Tweetsie (32131) is a dual train plant but they only run one side at this time. Also very well and conscientiously run. Older plant, but well cared for. I have no objections to the renewal of these permits, though it would be great if Tweetsie went to UV upon permit expansion since they do discharge to WS-IV-Trout+ waters.
