In accordance with your permit minor modification and renewal request received February 22,
2019, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0013348 dated May 21, 2019, to Bay River Metropolitan
Sewer District for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities.
The following modifications to the subject permit are as follows: at the request of the Permittee,
the effluent monitoring is changed to more accurately reflect facility conditions.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through August 31, 2024, shall void Permit
No. WQ0013348 issued March 16, 2016, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than March 4, 2024.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A, B, and C or they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
March 16, 2016:
➢ Old Condition I.1. — The proposed construction has been changed to "construction only". Prior
to operation of the proposed units, a permit modification will be required.
➢ Old Condition VI.2. — This condition has been removed because the permit is not voidable.
The following permit conditions are new since the last permit issuance dated March 16, 2016:
➢ Condition I.1. — The pipe connection to River Dunes must be permanently closed.
➢ Condition I.2. — A site map is required to be submitted.
