Dear Mr. Weber:
In accordance with your Petition for Contested Case Nearing filed on March 26, 1992, we are
forwarding herewith the pertinent portions of a draft permit which will hopefully resolve your
objections. These modifications consist of modifying the monitoring requirements from daily to
3/week for these parameters with such requirements, with the exception of Residual Chlorine
which will remain at daily. Also modified is the Special Conditionoutlined in Part III, paragraph i
concerning connection to regional sewerage collection systems. Attached is a draft of the revised
permit.
Please ermine the enclosed draft permit and ensure that the changes are acceptable to you. If
the draft is acceptable to you, please contact Mr. Donald'Safrit, Supervisor of the Permits and
Engineering Unit at (9 9)733-5083 and the Division will proceed to issue the permit. A formal
Notice of Withdrawal will be necessary. If the draft is unacceptable to you, please contact Ms
Betsy Mosley of the Office of the Attorney General at (91 )8- 247 and we will proceed with
the adjudicatory process.

In the event that the wastewater treatment facility is in substantial non-compliance for three
consecutive months with the effluent discharge conditions of this NPDES Permit, the permittee'
shall, upon demand of the Division, conduct a study evaluating all available wastewater disposal
alternatives and the permittee shall, within sixty days of notification by the Division, submit
report in such form d detail as required by the Division evaluating these alternatives with aspect
to environmental soundness and cost effectiveness.
E. Engineering Alternatives Analysis Condition
Within 12 months of the issuance of the permit, Mid South Water Systems, Inc. shall submit an
engineering study evaluating alternatives to surface discharge. If no feasible alternatives to
discharging e found by March 31 1995 the limits for this permit will change to 5.0 milligrams ;

milligrams per liter for BOD5 and 1.8 milligrams per liter for NH3 as 'N during the winter on
November 1, 1995, due to the zero 7Q10 flow and the potential for ammonia toxicity in the
receiving stream.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed site appears to be suitable for construction of the
proposed WWTP. At the present time Technical Services has not prepared a
WLA for proWsed project. The engineer has proposed a treatment concept al
effluent limitations may be as stringent as BOD5 = 12 mg/1 and NH3-N = 8 ml
Assuming that Technical Services establishes that this is not a zero flow 1
and that effluent limitations are no more stringent than those assumed by
engineer, it is recommended that a permit be issued.
