Pernut5 & Engineering Comments:
This permit is recommended with existing limits and frequencies for Outfall 001 - domestic
waste. The facility is well in compliance with existing Iimits. Dilution is high, so no NH3-N
toxicity limit is necessary. No instream monitoring is required.
Outfall 002 had no monitoring requirements in the previous permit. Semi-annual monitoring is
recommended with this draft (unless the region comments otherwise). This monitoring is
consistent with the general permit for non-zontact cooling water.
