Dear Mr. Buck:
A review of your recently issued NPDES permits for four Water Treatment Plants revealed
that a limit of 5 mg/ L for Dissolved Oxygen was inadvertently placed on these permits. Attached
is a revised page A.(1) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIRMENTS for
these four permits. Please remove the current Effluent pages and replace with the new pages.
Please note that under the revised Effluent pages, you must monitor and report Dissolved Oxygen,
but there is no limit. There are no other changes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact
Jim McKay of my staff at [phone], extension 595.
Sincerely,
rt ColeenH.Sullins
