V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS:
Facility has not been constructed. Coordinates not available at this time.
Application is for a modification to the treatment type. Concerned the Engineering Certification will be for the
modification (current application) and not for the application fields (originally permitted) as a result of two
different engineers. Not sure if this can be covered as a permit condition for the Engineers Certification.
There is a Buffer Waiver in the 2019 application and Permit file that is extremely difficult to read due to
quality.
