A. Site Mao:
1. Note 2 on the right hand side of the site map submitted with the application indicates that there is
a total of 38.74 acres that can be used as an area for reclaimed water reuse applications. This is
different than the currently permitted 47.52 acres and is due to certain spray heads on the map
labeled "Not Used" that are not currently available to be used as irrigation area. However, the
hydraulic loading in the Non -Discharge Application Report (NDAR) forms is calculated by
dividing the volume of water irrigated onto a field by the field area. If a field has spray heads that
are "Not Used", then the hydraulic loading will be underreported because our reporting forms
assume that the whole field is being utilized for irrigation.
In order to ensure that hydraulic loading is being calculated correctly in our NDAR forms, the
Permittee shall provide the reduced area for any field that has existing spray heads labelled as "Not
Used". These acreages shall be shown alongside the permitted areas currently shown on the table
on the right hand side of the map. These "Not Used" spray heads will not be completely removed
from the permit, and may be converted to "Used" spray heads in the future upon notification of the
Division.
At least one paper copy and an electronic copy of an updated map shall be submitted as a response
to this request. For security reasons, this electronic copy cannot be a CD, flash drive, or ZIP file. It
may be sent electronically as a PDF file via the Non -Discharge Branch Upload/Submittal Form
htt s://edocs.dt ...c. ov/Forms/NonDischar e-Branch-Submittal-Font, or via e-mail.
