Hello,
Following our meeting on June 2, 2006, I have contacted DWQ (Tom Belnick)
about the possibility of "moving" the discharge point to the small
drainage -way on the downstream side of the project site. Tom Belnick
related to me that moving the discharge point to the UT to the South Toe
would involve a brand new permitting process and public notice, and that
there would be significant concerns about impacts to this small stream, from
the site plan. I was present during the mussel survey effort (June 21) and
took a close look at the drainage -way we discussed. It is clearly a
"zero -flow" stream and would provide no assimilative capacity for the
discharge. It is also right on the property line of the project site.
There are significant problems related to this option. With the treatment
level proposed for the discharge, I hope we can focus on the need to
properly site the outfall location and orientation. If anyone has questions
concerning this information, please let me know.
After John and Fish and Wildlife have had an opportunity to summarize the
data from the mussel survey, we should reconvene our group to complete our
discussion on the outfall location and design.
Thanks.
Forrest
