address, phone number of owner, corporation, town or utility as well as name of
responsible officer;
(b) name,
address, phone number of engineering firm and name of engineer responsible for
design;
(c) general description of
service area and surroundings (type of economy, estimated percent residential,
estimated percent industrial, terrain, location, possible rate of
development);
(d) number and type
of customers to be served, (i.e., domestic, industrial, commercial,
agricultural, etc.); and,
(e)
approval of any land use and development by area planning council which has
jurisdiction.
(2) Surface Water Sources
(a) location map
including latitude and longitude of intake;
(b) name of source(s), type (river, lake,
etc.) and classification (Water Classifications and Standards,
R.61-68);
(c) watershed
area;
(d) expected 7Q10 flow and
lowest flow of record of source(s);
(e) name and type of discharges within ten
(10) miles upstream (industrial, agricultural, municipal and other);
(f) chemical and bacteriological analyses of
raw water. This analysis must include all parameters addressed in
R.61-58.5;
(g) distance from raw
water supply to reservoir or plant;
(h) proposed pumping rate from
source;
(i) general description of
intake and pump house; and,
(j) a
detailed engineering and economic assessment on the feasibility of utilizing
alternative water sources, or combinations of water sources, other than the
proposed water source.
(3) Water Treatment Plants
(a) Projected maximum volume of water to be
treated;
(b) Year when plant is
expected to operate at its maximum capacity;
(c) If existing, present operating
capacity;
(d) Location map of
plant;
(e) Height above the one
hundred (100) year flood plain based on the best information
available;
(f) Land available for
future plant expansion;
(g)
Proposed treatment scheme shown in block diagram;
(h) Proposed design criteria (retention
times, velocities, weir overflow rates, filtration rates, etc.);
(i) Description of proposed method of
handling, treating, and disposing of wastewater from plant (includes
clarification sludge, filter backwash water, brines, etc.);
(j) Name(s) and grade(s) of
operator(s);
(k) For modifications
to existing treatment plant, report must include: Present capacity of raw water
pumps, and a brief description of what effect proposed modification will have
on existing facilities including velocities and retention times through plant;
and,
(l) Detailed description of
any pilot testing to be performed.
