temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring
data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.

Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required

applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.

requirements is found on the following web page:

At the wastewater treatment facility serving Country Acres Mobile Home Park,
mixed liquor suspended solids in the aeration tank are maintained in the desired
range and the facility is operated and maintained in such a manner to minimize the
production of large quantities of sludge.
Sludge is wasted as necessary from the package plant to an aerobic digester.
As needed a licensed commercial septic tank truck removes sludge from the digester
for ultimate disposal at a nearby POTW.
