Permits & Engineering Comments:
This is a permit renewal for a discharge into Trays Island Greek in the Savannah River Basin. Within
the past twenty four months this facility had violations of BOD5, TSS and Fecal, all of which occured
on the same day of September 5,1996. Back in 1988 the Division had some concerns about the increased
loading to Sapphire take because of area development. It was later determined at the next renewal in
1993, that no new developments have added to the loadings in the stream. Because of past concerns
about the increased loading to Sapphire Lake, the Division may need to re-evaluate at some point and
do a wasteload allocation. Permits and Engineering will recommend existing limitations with
monitoring reflective of current regulations for a class II facility. The region must verify facility class
and components. I

Summary
This is a permit renewal for a discharge into Trays Island Creek in the Savannah River
Basin. Within the past twenty four months this facility had violations of BOD5, TSS and
Fecal, all of which occured on the same day of September 5, 1996. Back in 1988 the
Division had some concerns about the increased loading to Sapphire lake because of area
development. It was later determined at the next renewal in 1993, that no new

increased loading to Sapphire Lake, the Division may need to re-evaluate at some point and
do a wasteload allocation. Permits and Engineering will recommend existing limitations
with monitoring reflective of current regulations for a class H facility. The region must
verify facility class and components.
Summary Update:
Existing permit limitations will include summer and winter ammonia limitations of 2.7 &
4.0.
