Permit Renewal for WQ0013246
To whom it may concern:
Enclosed you will find documents related to the renewal for Riversound WWTP. Please feel
free to contact me at [phone] with any comments or questions.
The following documents, one original and one copy are enclosed for your review and approval:
At this time, with only 2 homes we do not create sufficient waste to carry out the framework
work as stipulated in the permit therefore a sand channel was added to direct the water. We
do operate the system in manual in order to maintain the EQ Basin lowered. It is our
understanding this plan will work for up to 25 houses, at that point we would need to switch to
the normal operations of the wastewater treatment plant. The manufacturer of this system
will be on site March 23, 2021 to evaluate if the system can operate in auto in order to keep the
EQ basin down.
