Please address the comments outlined below and submit the requested information in order that the application process may be completed in accordance with Section 9 of Chapter 3 of the WWQRR.

1. The application was incomplete. Please submit pages 23 and 25, or the applicable leachfield design pages of the application packet.

2. The percolation rate was calculated incorrectly. The percolation rate should be calculated as the time interval divided by the final drop value. When conducting three tests the slowest percolation rate should be used. For your test data, Hole #3 had a final drop of 1/8 inch for a percolation rate of 80 minutes per inch. This indicates that the soil in this area may not be suitable for a standard leachfield. If the property has any additional areas that may be suitable for a leachfield, please conduct a percolation test in that area. If there are no other suitable areas on the property, you may be granted a variance to the regulation for this location if a loading rate of 0.25 gpd/ff is used to size the leachfield.

3. Leachfield trenches are required to be less than 100 feet. Please revise the design accordingly.

4. Please revise the site drawing with the location of the replacement leachfield.

A. Discharge Zone This injection facility (sanitary leachfield) is authorized to inject 2,280 gallons per day average and 3,800 gallons per day maximum. The primary treated wastewater is injected into the alluvial aquifer. Depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the leachfield is approximately six (6) feet, based on observations made during a subsurface investigation performed in the Spring of 2012, by the permittee's consultant.

B. Well and Area of Review The inj ection well authorized by this permit is located as follows:

NEY. of the NW Y. of Section 18, Township 55 North, Range 88 West, of the 6th Principal Meridian, Sheridan County

The Area of Review is defined as a circular area of 360 acres with the injection facility located near its center.

The Area of Review is based upon the following information:

C. Grouudwater Classification The groundwater in the alluvial aquifer beneath the permittee's property is classified as Class I by quality according to Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapter 8, Table 1. This classification is made because the groundwater in this formation is currently being used for domestic purposes at nearby points of withdrawal.

Groundwater of Class I shall not be degraded to malce it unusable as a source of water for this purpose. An aquifer that contains less than 10,000 mg/L total dissolved solids (and is not exempted) can be considered an underground source of drinking water.

D. Authorized Operations The operator is authorized to inject at a pressure of no more than atmospheric pressure as measured at the leach fIeld. This pressure is controlled by gravity drainage and is not required to be monitored. The permittee is authorized to inject a maximum of 3,700 gallons per day. The wastewater is produced from a seasonal trailer park with 38 plumbed camp/trailer sites. The wastewater is injected into the unconfined alluvial aquifer. The wastewater is described as primary treated domestic sewage from a septic tank.

PERMIT 13 -111 Finalized August 21, 2013

Page 3 of 12

If additional sewage flows are added beyond those identified in the permit application, the leach field and/or treatment system may need to be enlarged in which case the pennittee must submit a ( revised application and receive a new permit prior to modification of the leach field or treatment system. (

E, Hazardous Waste This permit does not allow for the inj ection of any hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3 and in Wyoming Solid Waste Management Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2. Injection of any substance defined as a hazardous waste, whether hazardous. by listing or by characteristic is a violation of this permit.

F, Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from noncompliance with this permit. . The flermittee shall operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control which are installed or used by the pennittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of the pennit. Proper operation and maintenance includes: effective perfonnance, adequate funding, operator staffing and training, and laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. The injection wells covered by this pennit shall meet all construction requirements' outlined in Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapters 11, 16 and 25.

The permittee is required to operate in accordance with statements, representations and ( procedures presented in the complete permit application and supporting documents its accepted and approved by the Administrator. Any modifications Which will result in a violation of permit ( conditions shall be reported by submission of a new or amended permit application and shall not be implemented until a new or modified permit has been issued. Injection into a well may not begin until construction is complete and the permit is approved.

G, Eutry and Inspection The permittee shall allow the Administrator (upon presentation of credentials and during normal working hours) to enter the premises where a regulated facility is located, or where records are kept under the conditions of this permit and inspect and photograph the discharge and related facilities, review and copy reports and records required by this permit, collect fluid samples for analysis, measure and record water levels, and perfonn any other function authorized by law or regulation.

H. Environmental Monitoring Program for Groundwaters of the State General Requirements:

I. Samples and measurements taken for the purpose of monitoring shall be representative of the monitored activity. A groundwater sample is considered representative of the aquifer being monitored when the well has been purged to remove stagnant water prior to collection of a sample for laboratory analysis. Purging can be considered complete when a sufficient volume of water has been removed from the well and stabilization of select groundwater parameters

Page 4 of 12 PERMIT 13-111 Finalized August 21,2013

( (

has been achieved. It is important to record the circumstances surrounding each sample collection event at your facility. These records can help resolve analytical discrepancies. One or both purging methods below shall be used prior to sample collection:

a. Purge by Volume Method Removal of a minimum of three (3) casing volumes of water from the well should be completed prior to collecting a groundwater sample. Minimum purge volume can be calculated by the following equation:

Minimum Purge Volume = 3 * «Total Well Depth in feet - Depth to Waterin feet) * Well Capacity) Where Well Capacity (gallons per foot) is based on well diameter:

2 inch well = 0.163 6 inch well = 1.47 4 inch well = 0.653 8 inch well = 2.61

b. Stabilization of Parameters Method Purging of groundwater until select field parameters have stabilized can be used to demonstrate that a representative sample was collected. Field parameters measured during purging should include at a minimum temperature, pH, and specific conductance. Field parameters should be measured after removal of every half casing volume of water.

Half Casing Volume = 0.5 * «Total Well Depth in feet - Depth to Water in feet) * Well Capacity)

Where Well Capacity (gallons per foot) is based on well diameter: 2 inch well = 0.163 6 inch well = 1.47 4 inch well = 0.653 8 inch well = 2.61

A minimum of six (6) parameter measurements should be collected. If field parameters have not stabilized between the last three readings, purging and parameter measurement should continue until stabilization has been achieved. Stabilization can be demonstrated by a variance of no more than +/- 10% for temperature and specific conductance, and +/-0.2 standard units for pH.

2. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information including all calibration and maintenance records, copies of the reports required by this permit, and records of all data used to complete the application for this permit, for a period of at least three (3) years from the date of the sample measurement, report, or application. This period may be extended by request of the Administrator at any time.

3. The permittee shaH use electronic data deliverable (EDD) reporting when required by the Administrator.

4. Records of monitoring information shall include:

a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;

Page 5 of 12 PERMIT 13-111 Finalized August 21, 2013

b. The initials or name(s) of the individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;

c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The time(s) analyses were initiated; e. The initials or name(s) of the individual(s) who performed the analyses; f. References and written procedures for the analytical techniques or methods used; g. The results of such analyses, including the bench sheets, instrument readouts, computer

disks or tapes, etc., used to determine these results.

5. Monitoring must be conducted according to test procedures approved under 40 CFR Part 136, unless other test procedures have been specified in this permit.

6. The permittee shall retain all records concerning the nature and composition of injected fluids until five (5) years after completion of any specified plugging and abandomnent procedures. The administrator may require the owner/operator to deliver the records to the administrator at the conclusion of the retention period.

7. The permittee shall report any noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment within twenty-fom (24) hours from the time the operator becomes aware of the circumstances. The report should include:

a. Any monitoring or other information which indicates that any contaminant may cause an endangerment to a usable groundwater of the state;

( (

b. Any noncompliance with a permit condition or malfunction of the discharge (injection) ( system which may cause fluid migration into or between usable ground waters of the

c. ~a~itten submission shall be provided within five (5) days of the time the operator (. becomes aware of the circlunstances. This written submission shall contain a description of the noncompliance and its cause; the period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and if the noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or plarmed toredllce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance.

8. The permittee shall report all instances of noncompliance not reported otherwise, at the time monitoring reports are submitted.

9. The monitoring reports shall be submitted on forms provided by the Department. Reports of compliance or noncompliance with, or any progress reports on, interim and final requirements contained in any compliance schedule of this permit shall be submitted no later than forty- five (45) days following each schedule date.

10. A new monitor well (MW-l; see Table 2) shall be constructed downgradient and north of the existing leachfields by December 31, 2013. The monitor well shall be drilled until a saturated aquifer is reached and be at least 20 feet in depth.

RE: Elkhorn Trailer Court, WYS-033-002S8 Permit 13-111, Class V Septic System Permit Sheridan County, Wyoming

Dear Mr. Hanft:


Attached please find one copy of the Class V septic system permit for the facility referenced above. The permit requires a one-time sampling of the water supply from the spring that services this facility, as well as a one-time baselihe sampling of the new monitor well that is to be installed downgradient of your leachfield (Section H, Items 10 & II). This permit also requires semi-annual sampling ofMW-1 and rumual inspection and periodic pumping of the septic tanks (Section I). The corresponding report forms can be filled out using our on-line webform (Monitor Reports Link). For your convenience, the Wyoming Department of Enviromnental Quality (WDEQ) has printed the inspection forms and enclosed them in this mailing. Please use the exact well names used in your permit when reporting data to avoid any miscommunications.

The underground injection control program was promulgated to prevent serious problems caused by direct discharges to the groundwater. Those problems included groundwater pollution leading to contamination in domestic water wells and serious health affects caused by exposures to toxic substances and water borne pathogens. Your cooperation with our program is sincerely appreciated.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at the below referenced pbone number or email.

Sincerely,

e Ie Technical Engineering Review Extent - The extent of the technical engineering review was limited to the replacement of Septic Systems SS-2/lNJ-2, SS-3/lNJ-3, and SS-4/lNJ-4 only, as per the March 6, 2013 request for system replacement. The replacement systems for these septic systems were reviewed for system design loads, septic tanks, sizing, and design ofleachfie1ds, and the layout of the systems. Based on the application, SS-2 will be replaced and SS-3 and SS-4 will be combined into one new systeme

2. Abandonment: How will the septic tanks and lines from SS-2, SS-3, and SS-4 be abandoned?

3. Effective Length of Ouick4 Chamber Units: When connected together, a Quick4 chamber unit only add 4.0 running feet (ft) to the length of the chamber row. In other words, when placed in position, the effective length is 4.0 ft, not 4.5 ft. This will affect the total length ofthe design trenches (add 5 ft for end caps).

4. Minimum Number of Chamber Units Required: When calculating this number, always round up to the nearest whole number.

5. Minimum Required Distance Between Trenches to be Used as a Replacement Leachfield Area: The minimum required distance between trenches is an absolute minimum of 9.0 ft, not +1- 9 ft. To allow for variation during digging, 10 feet of undisturbed soil between trenches is recommended to ensure that the in-between space is useable as a trench replacement area.

6. Clean-Outs: Will there be clean-outs installed at changes of direction or junctions ofthe sewage collection pipes, or at no more than 100 foot intervals? Please show the locations of any clean-outs on the plans.

7. Total Facility RevisedlUpdated Design Flow: Please indicate what the revised/updated total design flow for the entire YVI UIC facility is after these changes. Break it down sub-system by sub-system, including the systems that are not being changed in this application.

8. Percolation Test Locations and Report: Where were the referenced percolation (perc) tests done at onsite? How is this area 'similar' to the proposed construction areas? Please include the referenced perc tests done by Jones Engineering.

9. Replacemcnt Systcm SS-2/INJ2:

a. Location ofthe Four Additional RV Spaces - Where are the four additional RV space that will be connected to this system located? How are they connected to the system?

be Maximum Length of Chamber Trenches - The three chambers for this replacement system are designed to be 105 feet long. From experience, the DEQ recommends that chamber trenches be no longer than 80 feet long. You may wish to consider 4 trenches instead of 3 trenches.

10. Replacement System SS-314/ INJ-3/4:

a. Leachfield Trench Layout - The plans for this leachfield show three trenches all of different lengths. There is room to layout three trenches of equal length.

A. Discharge Zone This injection facility (sanitary leachfield) is authorized to inject 4,500 gallons per day average and 7,500 gallons per day maximum. The primary treated wastewater is injected into the unconfined alluvial aquifer. Depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the leachfield is approximately ten (10) feet, based on test borings dug near the points of injection.

B. Well and Area of Review The injection well authorized by this permit is located as follows:

NEY> of the NW Y> of Section 22. Township 41 North, Range 116 West, of the 6th Principal Meridian, Teton County

The Area of Review is defined as a circular area of 360 acres with the injection facility located near its center.

The Area of Review is based upon the following information:

C. Groundwater Classification The grmmdwater in the alluvial aquifer beneath the permittee's property is classified as Class I by quality according to Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapter 8, Table 1. This classification is made because the groundwater in this formation is currently being used for domestic purposes at nearby points of withdrawal.

Groundwater of Class I shall not be degraded to make it unusable as a source of water for this purpose. An aquifer that contains less than 10,000 mgIL total dissolved solids (and is not exempted) can be considered an underground source of drinking water.

D. Authorized Operations

The operator is authorized to inject at a pressure of no more than atmospheric pressure as measured at the leach field. This pressure is controlled by gravity drainage and is not required to be monitored. The permittee is authorized to inject a maximmn of 7,500 gallons per day. The wastewater is produced from a 75-room motel, and a gas station. A proposed future sandwich shop and employee housing may be added to the system at a future time, and the above rate is inclusive of those additional sewage flows. The wastewater is inj ected into the unconfined alluvial aquifer. The wastewater is described as primary treated domestic sewage from a septic tanle

PERMIT 13-1J9 Final July 2, 2013

If additional sewage flows are added beyond those identified in the permit application, the leach· field and/or treatment system may ne.ed to be enlarged inwhichcase the permittee must submit a ( revised application and receive a new permit prior to modification of the leach field or treatment· system

E. Hazardous Waste This permit does not allow for the injection of any hazardous waste as.defmed in 40 CFR 261.3 . and in Wyoming Solid Waste Management Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2. Injection of any substance defined as a hazardous waste, whether hazardous by listing or by characteristic is a violatiop. of this perinit. .; ..

A. Discharge Zone The injection facility (sanitary leachfields) is authorized to inject an average of 2,970 gallons per day (calculated as 60% of maximum), and a maximum of 4,950 gallons per day combined total from four (4) sanitary leachfields servicing six (6) employee housing buildings and one (1) office/manager building (33 bedrooms total). The majority of wastewater is discharged to a mounded pressure-dosed septic system. The primary treated wastewater is injected into the sand and gravel alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Snake River. Depth to seasonally high groundwater in the vicinity of the leach field is approximately two (2) ft.

B. Well and Area of Review The injection wells authorized by this permit are located as follows:

SE Y. of the SE Y. of Section 14, Township 41 North, Range 117 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. Teton County.

The Area of Review is defined as a circular area of 360 acres with the injection facility located near its center. The Area of Review is based upon the following assumptions:

C. Gronndwater Classification

The groundwater in the alluvial aquifer beneath the permittee's property is classified as Class I according to Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapter 8. This classification is made because the groundwater in this formation is currently being used for domestic purposes at nearby points of withdrawal.

Ground water of Class I is suitable for domestic use and shall not be degraded to make it unusable as a source of water for this purpose. An aquifer that contains less than 10,000 mg/L total. dissolved solids (and is not exempted) can be considered an underground source of drinking water.

D. Authorized Operations

The operator is authorized to inj ect at a pressure of no more than atmospheric pressure as measuredat-the leachfieldso -This pressure is controlled-by gravity-drainage and-is not required to be monitored. This does not preclude the operation of dosing pumps. The permittee is authorized to inj ect an average of 2,970 gallons per day and a maximum of 4,950 gallons per day. The wastewater is produced :from six (6) employee housing buildings and one (1) office/manager building (33 bedrooms total). The wastewater is injected into the unconfined

Page 3 of12

alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Snake River. The wastewater is described as primary treated ( domestic sewage from four septic systems.

If additional sewage flows are added beyond those identified· in· the permit application, the permittee' must submit a revised application and receive a new permit prior to addition/modification of the leach field(s) or treatment system(s).

E. Hazardous Waste This permit does not allow for the injection of any hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3 and in Wyoming Solid Waste Management Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2. Injection of any substance defined as a hazardous waste, whether hazardoUli . by listing or by characteristic is a violation of this permit. . .

WDEQ REVIEWER: Jason Vreeland, P.E.

ACTION: NOT AUTHORIZED FOR CONSTRUCTION. In accordance with Chapter 3, Section 14 (a), Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations (WWQRR), the application is denied because it is incomplete andlor contains errors. Please address the comments outlined below and submit the requested information/clarifications in order that the application process may be completed in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 9 of the WWQRR. If the applicant fails to provide the requested information within six months, the incomplete application shall be returned. This review may not include all deficiencies and shall not be construed as a complete comprehensive list.

WDEQ COMMENTS

1) WDEQ Policy 14.13.3 - The design report must demonstrate that the storage will be operated for a minimum of 10% daily fill at all times including during the month of minimum use. Additionally, the average age of water must be provided. Ifthe average age of water is greater than two days the storage must be operated so that a minimum 25% fill occurs each time pumping is initiated with a minimum inlet velocity ofl 0 ft/s. If this is not possible, the storage must have designed passive or active mixing.

2) Chapter 12, Section 13(a)(vi) - The formula used to calculate the capacity of the overflow doesn't appear to take into account the restriction in flow due to the orifice. Additionally, the drain system should be evaluated for the capacity ofthe 12" line after the manhole.

(

(,

3) Chapter 12, Section 13 (a)(vi) - The overflow pipe doesn't appear to designed in the access tube. WWQRR require overflow pipes to be located in the access tube. Please address.

4) Chapter 12, Section 1 3 (a)(v) - The overflow/drain pipe appears to enter the maohole near the bottom of the manhole. WDEQ Policy 14.13.2 requires an air gap of2 feet with either a check valve (Tideflex is not in the policy) or screen.

5) The plan set notes Class S slurry is to be used to backfill between pipes. Is there a special provision or specification for this type of slurry or is this the same as cement treated backfill in theWPWSS?

6) The outlet structure to be constructed under the RJ -7 well completion application which is referenced on the plan set, doesn't appear to be designed to connect the 12" drain from the tanks. Please address.

A. Discharge Zone The permittee is authorized to inject an average of 45,000 gallons per day (gpd) and a maximum of 75,000 gpd of tertiary treated domestic wastewater from the Norris Junction POTW into an existing leachfield. The wastewater is injected into the unconfined Gibbon River Alluvium. The shallowest groundwater is approximately ten (10) feet below ground surface based on the measured depth to groundwater from the four (4) monitoring wells surrounding the leachfield in the summer of2012.

B. Well Locations and Areas of Review The injection well (sanitary leachfield) authorized by this permit is located in the SESW QuarterQuarter of Section 23, T55N, Range 115 West of the 6th principal meridian.

The Area of Review is defined as a circular area of 730 acres with the point of injection located near its center.

The Area of Review is based upon the following assumptions:

C. Groundwater Classification The groundwater in the unconfined alluvial aquifer beneath the permittee's property is classified as Class I according to Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapter 8. This classification is made because the groundwater in this formation is assumed to be Class I by quality. Ground water is a major contributor to surface flows in nearby Gibbon River, which is currently being utilized as the water source for this facility. There are no wells permitted by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office located within one mile of this facility.

Groundwater of Class I shall not be degraded to malce it unusable as a source of water for this purpose. An aquifer that contains less than 10,000 mgIL total dissolved solids (and is not exempted) can be considered an tmderground source of drinking water.

D. Authorized Operations The injectate (effluent) quality and volume shall not exceed limits listed in Table 2 of this permit. The ground water in the monitor wells shall not exceed any limit listed in Table 2 of this permit, nor any standard for Class I grOlmd water listed in Chapter 8, Water Quality Rules and Regulations, whichever is more stringent.

The operator is authorized to inj ect at a pressure of no more than atmospheric pressure as measured at the wellhead.


Page 3 of 11

In the case where the treatment system needs to be enlarged to accept a greater sewage flow or if the permittee plans on accepting additional sewage flows that would increase their discharge volume (-beyond the maximum permitted rate, the permittee must submit a revised application and receive a new permit prior to modification of the treatment system or prior to discharging beyond the maximum permitted rate.

E. Hazardous Waste This permit does not allow for the injection of any hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.3 and in Wyoming Solid Waste Management Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2. Injection of any substance defined as a hazardous waste, whether hazardous by listing or by characteristic is a violation of this permit.

F. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from noncompliance with this permit. The permittee shall operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. Proper operation and maintenance includes: effective performance, adequate funding, operator staffing and training, and laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. The injection wells covered by this permit shall meet all construction requirements outlined in Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations, Chapters 11, 16 and 25.

The permittee is required to operate in accordance with statements, representations and procedures presented in the complete permit application and supporting documents as accepted and approved by the Administrator. Any modifications which will result in a violation of permit conditions shall be reported by submission of a new or amended permit application and shall not be implemented until a new or modified permit has been issued. Injection into any new well may not begin until construction is complete and the permit is approved.

G. Entry and Inspection The permittee shall allow the Administrator (upon presentation of credentials and during normal working hours) to enter the premises where a regulated facility is located, or where records are kept under the conditions of this permit and inspect and photograph the discharge and related facilities, review and copy reports and records required by this permit, collect fluid samples for analysis, measure and record water levels, and perform any other function authorized by law or regulation.

H. Environmental Monitoring Program for Groundwaters of the State General Requirements:

1. Samples and measurements taken for the purpose of monitoring shall be representative of the monitored activity. A groundwater sample is considered representative of the aquifer being monitored when the well has been purged to remove stagnant water prior to collection of a sample for laboratory analysis. Purging can be considered complete when a sufficient volume

(

of water has been removed from the well and stabilization of select groundwater parameters <: I


Page 4 of 11

has been achieved. It is important to record the circumstances surrounding each sample collection event at your facility. These records can help resolve analytical discrepancies. Either of the purging methods below shall be used prior to sample collection:

a. Purge by Volume Removal of a minimum of three (3) casing volumes of water from the well should be completed prior to collecting a groundwater sample. Minimum purge volume can be calculated by the following equation:



b. Stabilization of Parameters Field parameters measured during purging should include at a minimum temperature, pH, and specific conductance. Field parameters should be measured after removal of every half casing volume of water.



A minimum of six (6) parameter measurements should be collected. If field parameters have not stabilized between the last three (3) readings, purging and parameter measurement should continue until stabilization has been achieved. Stabilization can be demonstrated by a variance of no more than +/- 10% for temperature and specific conductance, and +/- 0.2 standard units for pH.


3. The pe=ittee shall use electronic data deliverable (EDD) reporting when required by the Administrator.

4. Records of monitoring information shall include: a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements; b. The name(s) of the individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements; c. The date(s) analyses were performed; d. The time(s) analyses were initiated; e. The name(s) of the individual(s) who performed the analyses;


Page 5 of 11

f. References and written procedures for the analytical techniques or methods used; g. The results of such analyses, including the bench sheets, instrument readouts, (

computer disks or tapes, etc., used to determine these results.


6. The permittee shall retain all records concerning the nature and composition of injected fluids (final effluent), even if the records/data are in excess of the minimum sampling and analysis requirements of this permit. Records shall be kept until five (5) years after completion of any specified plugging and abandonment procedures. The administrator may require the owner/operator to deliver the records to the administrator at the conclusion of the retention period.

7. The permittee shall report any noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment within twenty-four (24) hours from the time the operator becomes aware of the circumstances, to include:

a. Any monitoring or other information which indicates that any conk'lminant may cause an endangerment to a usable groundwater of the state;

b. Any noncompliance with a permit condition or malfunction of the discharge (injection) system which may cause fluid migration into or between usable ground waters of the state;

A written submission shall be provided within five (5) days of the time the operator becomes ( aware ofthe circumstances. This written submission shall contain:

a. a description of the noncompliance and its cause b. the period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and c. if the noncompliance has not been cOiTected, the anticipated time it is expected to

continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance.

8. The permittee shall report all instances of noncompliance not reported otherwise, at the time monitoring reports are submitted.

9. The monitoring reports shall be submitted on forms provided by the Department. Reports of compliance or noncompliance with, or any progress reports on, interim and final requirements contained in any compliance schedule of this permit shall be submitted no later than forty-five (45) days following each schedule date.

WDEQ COMMENTS

1) Chapter 12, Section 6(b )(iv) - It does not appear that the overall capacity of the Town of Mills' water system was evaluated. Please discuss the available storage and production of the system and how the new development mayor may not affect this. This type of analysis is critical when additional development such as this occurs.

2) Chapter 12, Section 14(b )(i) - Please provide the pipe analysis and pipe and friction losses that should have been done as part of the overall modeling of the system. Based upon what was provided in the Poison Spider Replacement project, it appears that the hydraulic grade used was 5428.60, but there was no other factors tal(en into account when the resultant pressures were calculated. This information, as well as tank levels and other pertinent information on well
