PART II - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREATMENT FACILITIES
1. Proposed Facilities: Applicant proposes to construct a non -contact cooling
water recycle system to serve a foundry operation which makes aluminum
and zinc castings. The process involves the collection of rainfall from
the plant roof and storing this water in a nearby basin. The rainwater is
then forced through cooling tubes in the molds and from there back to the
basin where it is passed through a series of spray headers to lower the
temperature. A settling basin_is included to trap solid materials carried
from the roof area prior to entering the cooling basin.. The discharge
from this operation would consist of any overflow from the cooling basin
which would be caused by excessive rainfall. There will be no additions
such as agacides, etc., added at the present time. At no time will the
cooling water come into contact with the molton product.

it is cooled and is continually recycled. The water is not treated
in any way and will be overflowed when raining to McLin Stream.
