This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on October 27, 2004.
Note that the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit in this permit takes effect August 1, 2006. If you wish to

Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
