Wasteload Allocation Summary
(approach taken, correspondence with region, EPA, etc.)
This Permitted was rescinded in September, 1993. Due to the inability of the subsurface
jystem to handle the flow another Permit for a surface water discharge is being requested.

Parameter(s) affected: Limits Changes Due To:
All conventional parameters discharge limits based on treating facility as new
x_ Parameter(s) are water quality limited. For some parameters, the available load capacity of
the immediate receiving water will be consumed. This may affect future water quality based
effluent limitations for additional dischargers within this portion of the watershed.
•O
No parameters are water quality limited, but this discharge may affect future allocations.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Adeauacv of� g Treatment
Has the facility demonstrated the ability to meet the proposed new limits with existing treatment
facilities? Yes No
If no, which parameters cannot be met?
Would a "phasing in" of the new limits be appropriate? Yes No
If yes, please provide a schedule (and basis for that schedule) with the regional
office recommendations:
If no, why not?
Wasteload sent to EPA? (Major) (Y or N)
(If yes, then attach schematic, toxics spreadsheet, copy of model, or, if not modeled, then old
assumptions that were made, and description of how it fits into basinwide plan)
Additional Information attached? (Y or N) N yes, explain with attachments.

File goes back to 1987 where facility received limits of 5 and 2 all year 'round..
In 1993 this Permit was rescinded and facility tried to go subsurface; problems of supersaturated soils prevented this alternative from
consistently treating their waste. Therefore they have requested re -Instatement of their previous surface water discharge system.
They previously had Advanced Tertiary limits, (i.e. 5 and 2) and I will recommend these again as well as a residual chlorine limit of 17
µgA, (If chlorine is used as a disinfectant - engineer informs me that they may be using UV). The system they are installing works as a
batch system where the effluent from the school is contained in a basin. Then, for an eighteen, (or so) hour period, it is sprayed over
four different sand filter zones, recaptured and sprayed on the next zone until all four zones have been used at which time the effluent is
discharged to the stream, (at approximately 3 am).
The engineer informs me that they can meet whatever limits are called for.
