NEW PERMIT

Presently, if the water discharged off site contains pollutants that exceed the EPA Bench Marks it is not a Permit violation. Existing BMPs are to be improved to attain benchmark levels of compliance. The new Permit establishes Effluent limits. If an effluent limit is exceeded a Permit violation has occurred. Exceedances are to be reported electronically, which can expose the Permittee to litigation from the Regulators or concerned citizens. Other Permit changes could require sampling within the 24 hours of the beginning of discharge as opposed to the present time requirement of within the first hour.
