equal to 0.1 mgd must also complete Part B. Some applicants must also complete the Supplemental
Application Information packet. The following items explain which parts of Form 2A you must complete.
BASIC APPLICATION INFORMATION:
A. Basic Application Information for all Applicants. All applicants must complete questions A.1 through A.8. A treatment
works that discharges effluent to surface waters of the United States must also answer questions A.9 through A.12.
B. Additional Application Information for Applicants with a Design Flow >_ 0.1 mgd. All treatment works that have design
flows greater than or equal to 0.1 million gallons per day must complete questions B.1 through B.6.
C. Certification. All applicants must complete Part C (Certification).
