PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a sand dredge operation. The operator uses a dragline to remove sand from the river.
Places it on the stream bank and screens it prior to sale. The water from the wet sand drains to
the sandy substrate stream bank and returns to the river; there is no specific discharge point.
Stormwater is treated in the same manner.
The regional office recommends the issuance of the permit.

11) Addition& Application Requirements;
For new or proposed discharges, the following information must be included in triplicate with this
application or it will be returned as incomplete.
