A. Application (Form: RWS-R 06-16):
1. Section VI of the application states that the 5-Day Upset Pond and Wet Weather Pond have
capacities of 1,283,306 gallon and 8,153,534 gallons, respectively. The Site Map included,
however, list the volume of the 5-Day Upset Pond and Wet Weather Pond have capacities of
1,283,209 gallon and 8,123,055 gallons, respectively.
Please clarify which volumes are correct for the storage structures.
2. Section IX of the application lists 6 fields totaling 132.94 acres. This acreage is essentially the same
as previously permitted, however, the acreage of each individual field seems to have been modified
and/or redistributed.
Additionally, the site map included lists 18 individual fields totaling 135.29 acres.
Please explain the above discrepancies and clarify which field configuration is correct.
