Re: Request for Amendment and Extension
of Permit No. 7634
Warren County PCB Landfill
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Facility
Warren County
Dear Mr. Helms:
The referenced permit for the operation of a facility for the
treatment of water potentially contaminated with PCB's expires on
July 1, 1983. I am requesting that the permit be extended to
December 31, 1984. There have been no variations in the original
operational procedures.
Permit condition number 12 specifies that in addition to the
disposing of the sand and carbon filter media, the top three inches
of soil in the effluent wastewater retention pond must be removed
to an appropriate disposal facility. I am requesting that this
condition be changed to allow the testing of the clay liner of the
effluent pond prior to disposal. All soils containing PCB's at
concentrations greater than or equal to l ppm (.0001 % by weight)
shall be removed and disposed at an appropriate facility.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
