PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee requests renewal of the subject Permit to discharge treated domestic
wastewater from a WWT facility that serves the Alexander Island residential development. There
have been no changes to this facility since the permit was last reissued.
It is our understanding that current policy is to renew this permit with existing limits if no
changes are proposed. It has been the policy of this Office (and the Central Office) to
recommend BPJ limitations (BODS-15 mg/l, NH3 as N-4 mg/1) for all WWT facilities
discharging (or proposing to discharge) into water supply reservoirs, including those facilities
proposing to expand or upgrade. Although the existing WWT facilities are capable of complying
with BPJ limitations without having to expand or upgrade, it is anticipated that this permit will
be renewed with existing limitations until such time as an expansion or upgrade is requested.
Pending receipt and approval of the WLA and draft permit, it is recommended that the
permit be renewed as r ested.
