• E. Nutrient Condition for Permits Without Phosphorus Limits
This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to include an effluent limitation on nutrients
for this discharge depending upon the following:

control is necessary.
2. Local actions do not successfully reduce the nutrient loading on the receiving waters.
3. The onset of problem conditions in the receiving waters.

Discharger has had secondary limits with fecal and pH limits since initial
wasteload allocation developed in 1977. Historically, facility has been in
compliance with limits and it seems that TSS exceedances in 1992 have been
corrected.
Staff report indicates that facility discharges only 2500-4000 GPD because of
underdevelopment and pursuit of non -discharge options are not financially
feasible. Because of the ORW designation, new or expansion of existing
dischargers will not be allowed in this segment of Jacob Fork.
No instream monitoring is required. Compliance data indicates a well operated
facility with no permit exceedances.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Renewal of the permit is recommended. Actual flows range from 2000 - 4500
gallons per day (design capacity is 69,000 gallons per day). Since the
project has not meet the developer's projections, there does not appear to be
sufficient money to pursue non -discharge options.
