Hi Brant,
I appreciate it! I did want to let you know that we recently realized there was an error with the
effective date on your issued CoC. As the general permit requires slightly different effluent
monitoring compared to your previous individual permit, we wanted to allow time for your facility to
be prepared for the changes. We are now proposing an effective date of July 1, 2020 for your COC. I
am just waiting for the final signature from my supervisor and then the corrected pages will be sent to
you electronically. Apologies for any inconvenience or confusion!
Thanks,
Sydney Carpenter

Hi Brant,
Thanks for the additional information regarding the discharge frequency!
Before I proceed with your certificate of coverage, I wanted to bring the
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing to your attention and make sure that
you feel comfortable with the requirements. Currently, under your
individual permit, you're required to perform a quarterly acute pass/fail
WET test at 90% effluent concentration. This is due to your discharge
frequency. However, the WET testing required under the general permit for
your facility will be an annual chronic pass/fail WET test at 1.90% effluent
concentration. Are you okay with this change in testing?
Thanks,
Sydney Carpenter

Ms. Carpenter,

Please see the email from WTP Superintendent Ben Worley regarding
discharge frequency. Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. I
am working from home and have been having trouble with my internet
service. Feel free to contact Ben with any questions regarding the WTP
and its associated permits. He's the one that knows the WTP inside and
out! Also, feel free to call me Brant. Stay well and have a great
weekend!

The discharge frequency Ms. Carpenter is referring to is correct.
Due to lower raw water temperatures filter run times are
shortened to stay under the .10 turb. limit set to meet A.W.O.P
standards. Also our lagoon management program has been more
frequent (daily discharges) due to capacity issues.
We now currently have max run times on our filters due to
warmer raw water temps. so wash water to lagoons will be cut in
half. The 3-4 discharge days per month maybe should be 7-8
days per month. Larry did submit this renewal in June 2019
when the information was correct. There has been no change in
plant operation only lagoon management has changed.
