Dear Mr. Tweed:
The Division of Water Quality's NPDES Unit has reviewed Heater Utilities' request for an Authorization
to Construct and finds the proposed improvements and design for the Salem Quarters W WTP to be
satisfactory. The Division hereby grants authorization for the following:
• construction of one complete open channel gravity flow ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system with
ail control equipment, accessories, and associated equipment, piping, and structures as described in
the plans and specifications.
Upon completion of these improvements, the permitted capacity of the facility remains at 0.060 MGD.
This approval of the single -bank UV system is based upon assurances that Heater Utilities will maintain
adequate spare parts for the system and maintain the existing tablet chlorination and dechlorination units
as a backup disinfection system. The Division reserves the option to require a second UV unit if these
conditions are not met or if the new system does not provide reliable disinfection.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES Permit No.

such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
