V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
GFI is submitting a permit modification to add 7 new residual sources to this permit and increase the dry tonnage for 1 existing source
(City of Henderson).
One source facility,Chapel Ridge W WTP,appears to need TCLP analysis based on the design flow and that information was not
provided in the application.
The new sources appear appropriate with a couple of these sources being previously associated with the permit in 2014(Arbor Hills
and CottonwoodBaywood WWTP).
