This includes, but is not limited to, construction details of the on-site <br /> disposal wells, septic, and wastewater conveyance systems. Please include copies of any construction <br /> permits or waste discharge permits. <br /> Records of water use indicate that this facility uses large volumes of water on a daily basis. Please describe <br /> in detail the past and present water uses, fluid and sludge waste stream characterization (analyses), and <br /> wastewater disposal methods at this facility including any pre-treatment, recycle, storage, on-site and off- <br /> site disposal with supporting documentation. <br /> This correspondence is issued to both the owners of the property and operators of record for the facility <br /> described above.
