Current through Register Vol. 50, page 114, March 25, 2024
In addition to the information required by §
74:52:02:08, new manufacturing,
commercial, mining, and silvicultural dischargers applying for SWD permits must
provide the following information to the secretary, using application forms
provided by the secretary:
(1) The
location of the outfalls, including the latitude and longitude to the nearest
15 seconds, and the name of the receiving water;
(2) The expected date of commencement of
discharge;
(3) The flows, sources
of pollution, and treatment technologies, including the following:
(a) A description of the treatment that the
wastewater will receive, along with all operations contributing wastewater to
the effluent, average flow contributed by each operation, and the ultimate
disposal of any solid or liquid wastes not discharged. The average flow of
point sources composed of storm water may be estimated. The basis for the
rainfall event and the method of estimation must be indicated;
(b) A line drawing of the water flow through
the facility with a water balance, showing operations contributing wastewater
to the effluent and treatment units. Similar processes, operations, or
production areas may be indicated as a single unit, labeled to correspond to
the more detailed identification under subdivision (c) of this section. The
water balance shall show approximate average flows at intake and discharge
points and between units, including treatment units. If a water balance cannot
be determined, the applicant may provide a pictorial description of the nature
and amount of any sources of water and any collection and treatment measures;
and
(c) If any of the expected
discharges will be intermittent or seasonal, a description of the frequency,
duration, and maximum daily flow rate of each discharge occurrence, except for
storm water runoff, spillage, or leaks;
(4) If a new source performance standard
promulgated under § 306 of the CWA (40 C.F.R. Parts 405 to 699, July 1,
1991) or an effluent limitation guideline applies to the applicant and is
expressed in terms of production or another measure of operation, a reasonable
measure of the applicant's expected actual production reported in the units
used in the applicable effluent guideline or new source performance standard
for each of the first three years. Alternative estimates may also be submitted
if production is likely to vary;
(5) Estimates of pollutants expected to be
present in a discharge. The applicant shall indicate if the pollutant is
present solely due to the intake water. All levels, except for discharge flow,
temperature, and pH, must be estimated as concentration and as total mass.
Applicants must report the following:
(a)
Estimated daily maximum, daily average, and the source of information for each
outfall for the following pollutants or parameters. The secretary may waive the
reporting requirements of any of these pollutants and parameters if the
applicant submits a request for such a waiver before or with the application
which demonstrates that information adequate to support issuance of the permit
can be obtained through less stringent reporting requirements:
(i) Biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD);
(ii)Chemical oxygen demand
(COD);
(iii) Total organic carbon
(TOC);
(iv) Total suspended solids
(TSS);
(v) Flow;
(vi) Ammonia (as N);
(vii) Temperature (winter and summer);
and
(viii) pH;
(b) Estimated daily maximum, daily average,
and the source of information for each outfall for the pollutants in §
74:52:02:43 if the applicant knows
or has reason to believe they will be present or if they are limited by an
effluent limitation guideline or new source performance standard either
directly or indirectly through limitations on an indicator pollutant;
(c) Estimated daily maximum, daily average,
and source of information for the following pollutants if the applicant knows
or has reason to believe that they will be present in the discharges from any
outfall:
(i) The toxic metals, cyanide, and
total phenols listed in §
74:52:02:42;
(ii)The organic toxic pollutants in §
74:52:02:41 by GC/MS fraction and
as required by the industrial categories in §
74:52:02:39;
-
(d)
That 2, 3, 7, 8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) may be discharged if the
applicant uses or manufactures one of the following compounds or if the
applicant knows or has reason to believe that TCDD will or may be present in an
effluent:
(i) 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic
acid (2,4,5-T) {Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) # 93-76-5 };
(ii)2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid
(Silvex, 2,4,5-TP) (CAS # 93-72-1);
(iii) 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethyl
2,2-dichloropropionate (Erbon) (CAS # 136-25-4);
(iv) 0,0-dimethyl 0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)
phosphorothioate (Ronnel) (CAS # 299-84-3);
(v) 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP) (CAS #
95-95-4); or
(vi) Hexachlorophene
(HCP) (CAS # 70-80-4);
(e) Any hazardous substances listed in §
74:52:02:44 if the applicant
believes they will be present in any outfall. No quantitative estimates are
required unless they are already available;
(f) No later than two years after the
commencement of a discharge from the proposed facility, the applicant must
complete and submit items V and VI of the SWD permit application form. However,
the applicant need not complete those portions of item V requiring tests which
the applicant has already performed and reported under the discharge monitoring
requirements of the applicant's SWD permit;
(6) The existence of any technical evaluation
concerning the applicant's wastewater treatment, along with the name and
location of similar plants of which the applicant has knowledge; and
(7) Any optional information the applicant
wishes to have considered.
