Re: NCO066028 - Fecal Limit
Reviewed DMR data for years 1999 & 2000. There appears
to be some impact instream (i.e. the fecal levels
downstream are generally higher than upstream - though
sometimes not higher than 400#/ 100ml). A fecal limit and
subsequently a chlorine limit will be added to the new
permit with a year compliance schedule. Instream fecal
monitoring will be deleted.
