If yes, please explain:
2. List any items that you would like the NPDES Unit or Non -Discharge Unit Central Office to obtain through an
additional information request:
Item
Reason
The data in the application is copied from the 2015 permit renewal, which is the
most recent for TCLP, Corrosivity, Reactivity and Ignitability; however, there
is more current Total residuals and PVAR data available in the 2018 Annual
Report.
Analytical data
The current permit requires annual sampling for Total Residuals analyses and
PVAR; And, once per permit cycle sampling to demonstrate residuals are non-
hazardous under RCRA. The MRO is okay with a reminder in the cover-
letter/permit the non -hazardous analyses are due.
