Permits & Engineering Comments:
This is a permit renewal for an existing class II facility expansion. This facility presently has an AtoC
to expand to 0.050 MGD. The plant is currently at 0.025 MGD. Within the past twenty four months this
facility had violations of TSS. Downstream Fecal was high only a few time. Permits and Engineering
will recommend existing limitations with monitoring updated to reflect a class II facility. The current
chlorine limit will be changed to 28 ug/1 daily max to be consistant and since they have
dechlorination. Permits and Engineering will also recommend removing instream sampling for fecal
and temperature (Unless region states otherwise) since this is a domestic flow into a high flow stream.
The discharge should have no impact on temperature and Fecal.
