as listed on the IUP Limits Page(s), PART I, Section F of the IUP.
RATIONALE # 1:
Review of IU Monitoring Data, with no Over Allocation situation:
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based
on a review of monitoring data for the permittee to determine what range
of concentrations are currently being discharged. To account for sample
variability a factor was applied to the monitoring data to determine the
permit limit. Permit limits assigned by the Local IUP Control Authority
can not result in an Over Allocation situation for any pollutants.
Limits are based on previous IUP and no changes are needed

RATIONALE # 3a:
Over Allocation Prevention, with IU pollutant reduction
The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based
on allocating the Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading (MAIL)
determined with the Headworks Analysis (HWA) among all Industrial
Users. The total loading of each pollutant from all permitted discharges
does not exceed the MAIL. These limits do not result in over allocations.

RATIONALE # 3b:
Interim Limits for IU pollutant reduction:
The following pollutants were assigned interim numerical limits in this

INDUSTRIAL USER WASTEWATER SURVEY AND DISCHARGE PERMIT APPLICATION
The information provided on this questionnaire serves two functions:
To determine if your facility is in need of a Significant Industrial User (SIU) Industrial User Pretreatment
Permit (IUP) for the discharge of wastewater to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) sanitary
sewer system.
2. If a SIU IUP is required, this survey shall serve as the application for that IUP and the information will be used
to issue the IUP.
