Subject: RE: Draft NPDES Permits
Bob,
It will be a good idea. I was thinking to do the same. Also, I looked at the DMR to see the maximum discharge from the
facility and found out that the maximum discharge for the past two years was at half the permitted discharge. However,
in order to play it right we need to go exactly by your suggestion.
"Great mind think alike".

Hi Samar,
I'll make the fixes to the permits as you have directed. I'm sorry I missed them the first time around. Regarding
Diamond Head, since the smaller of the two treatment systems is not in use (and it appears its been out of service for a
while), should they be given some form of tiered limits that allows flow only to the capacity of the working system until
they bring the other one on-line? Just a thought ...

Hi Bob,
Happy New year. How R U? 1 hope everything is well with you.
Please note that the description of the existing facility for permit NCO074772 (Diamond Head) needs to be revised to
reflect the changes mentioned in the Staff Report. There are major changes that needs to be noted.
Also, in permit NCO062481 Mallard Head Condominiums you may need to add in the description of the existing facility a
power generator (if it is not too much trouble)?.
Please call me to discuss the above changes at your convenience.
Have a great day!
