On 6 February 2001, we met to discuss the process of changing the NPDES Permit to a land disposal Waste Discharge Requirements Order. To initiate the Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) process, please submit a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD). The RWD consists of the enclosed Form 200 and a technical report that will serve as your response to Sections VI and VII of Form 200. The technical report must, at a minimum, address all items listed on the enclosed sheet entitled"Additional Information Requirements" and must be prepared under the supervision of a registered civil engineer. The RWD shall also include any additional information required to explain the site specific processes. Because Paradise Point Manna is already paying an annual fee, there is no additional fee associated with the RWD submittal. In our 6 February 2001 meeting, you described Paradise Point Manna's plan to construct a wastewater storage pond that will be used to store wastewater in the winter; your engineer's preliminary calculations indicate all the wastewater will evaporate in the summer months. Because the depth to groundwater is two to three feet below ground surface, lining the wastewater pond will be required. The pond shall be designed to provide a minimum two foot freeboard, booms as required to prevent wave action in the pond, and a minimum of one milligram per liter(mg/1) dissolved oxygen. We have not specified a due date for the RWD. You may submit it at your convenience, but please note that it can take up to four months from receipt of a complete RWD to adoption of WDRs.
