Phosphorus Standards• Est. in 2011
– NR 102– WQ Standards for Phosphorus– NR 217– Implementation of phosphorus standards in WPDES
permits– NR 151– Agricultural performance standards for phosphorus.
• All WPDES permits issued after December 2010 – Compliance schedule = up to 7 to 9 years
• Limits based on one of the following – TBL (Technology Based Limits) – WQBEL (Water Quality Based Effluent Limits)
• limits based on the receiving water– TMDL – watershed based

Adjusting Phosphorus Limits• TMDL-derived limits• Site-specific criteria:
– less stringent phosphorus limits where water quality goals are being attained despite elevated phosphorus levels
• Variance waters: – surface waters not capable of meeting the
fishable or swimmable goals – some streams have too little flow to support a
healthy fish community

Total Maximum Daily Load• Required for impaired waters under CWA• Amount of pollutant that the watershed can
receive and still meet water quality standardsload allocations (nonpoint sources)
+ waste load allocations (point sources)+ margin of safety
TMDL
• Included in WPDES permits • Municipal Wastewater Dischargers• Industrial Wastewater Dischargers (cheese factories, breweries)• Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4/TMDL)• Non-contact cooling water • Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO)

Compliance Options • Variances
– Individual Variance– Multi-discharger Variance
• Adaptive Management• Water Quality Trading• On-site evaluations
– Modeling of existing BMPs– Facility Upgrades (Wastewater dischargers)– New treatment BMPs (MS4/TMDLs)– Consumptive Use

Variances • Process & submittal
requirements in s. 283, Stats. & NR 200 & 217, Wis. Adm. Code
• Individual Economic Hardship Variance – Site specific analysis– Will it “cause substantial and widespread adverse social and
economic impacts in the area where the permittee is located” – Only for specific permit term (5 yrs)– State standards loosely based on EPA guidance – The application for the variance can occur during either the first or
the second permit term.– Have to do pollution prevention projects

Multi-Discharger variance • Must be approved by EPA
– final package mailed to EPA on March 30, 2016.• DNR/DOA = economic analysis for state• Table to identify the type of permittee that may
be eligible. – Still need to apply and conduct facility/municipal specific
analysis to determine final eligibility
• NOT a free pass– Interim limits- progressively more restrictive – Also must do one of the following –
• Pay $ to county - $50/lb/year over target value• Adaptive Management projects• 3rd party to reduce phosphorus discharge

Multi-Discharger Variance• More streamlined approach
– simplifies the application and review process.– EPA = discretionary review over individual
requests• Watershed improvements
– spelled out for entire state– rather than being site-specific.

Adaptive Management • Watershed efforts to reduce phosphorus
– Partnerships to implement BMPs “upstream”• Typically Agricultural Landowners
– In-stream monitoring to show BMPs are working • If not working at the end of 15 yrs, will need to look at
WQ trading or treatment BMPs– Good option if waterbody is close to achieving water
quality standard for phosphorus– More flexible implementation than WQ trading
• Permit compliance timeline extended (15yrs) to identifying and implementing measures

Water Quality Trading • Compliance with discharge limit• Point source (PS) pays someone to achieve
less costly pollutant reduction in watershed. – PS or Non-PS (ag., municipalities)– Limited circumstances a non-PS can buy from
another non-PS• Can be “upstream” or “downstream”• Trade ratios to quantify reductions• Long-term if practice/activity is maintained

Water Quality Trading• Practices must be in place prior to credit use• Not as flexible as adaptive management.
– Agreement to buy credits and practices used to generate credits must be established up front.
– Compliance schedule typically 5 years or less. – Practices must have quantifiable reductions
• May not be a viable compliance option for some due to – Costs– No credit generators in their watershed

Examples• Baker Cheese
– New wastewater treatment facility• Previously trucked waste to WWTP• Had phosphorus limit of 0.075 mg/L & 0.16 lb/d
– New discharge = must achieve P-standards on day 1• Chemical treatment in the facility = discharge at 0.2-0.4
mg/L – Purchased nearby farm fields with phosphorus runoff and
restored the fields to native prairie– Permanent credits generated to help facility meet
discharge limits– Credits placed in annual bank for use
• Use/withdraw credits from bank as needed

Examples• Red Cedar River Nutrient Trading Pilot Program
– City of Cumberland• Paying farmers in the watershed to install BMPs
– Nutrient management planning & no-tillage• More than 60 BMPs purchased• Required to purchase 4,400 pounds of phosphorus credits
per year• Farmers may receive payment for a BMP for 3 years
– Barron Co. LCD = 3rd party facilitator to est. Ks– Trade ratio of 2:1– City has paid $58,000 to remove 31, 500 lbs of P

Out of state example• City of Princeton WWTP, Minnesota
– Previously discharge infiltrated into groundwater• Groundwater contamination & high groundwater
– New discharge to Rum River (ORW in MN)• Phosphorus limits strict because of anti-degradation
requirements – To meet the phosphorus limits
• Facility upgrade• Water Quality trading with non-point sources
– Shoreland restoration projects

MS4/TMDL PERMIT OVERVIEW• SECTION 1: APPLICABILITY CRITERIA
TMDL Required for Impaired waterbodies (Sec. 303d) identified by WDNR & EPA
TMDL generated for all pollutants violating water quality standards for each impaired waterbody
TMDL = ∑WLA + ∑LA + MOS
• WLA = Waste Load Allocation (point sources such as WWTFs, MS4/TMDLs, and general permits)
• LA = Load Allocation (nonpoint sources such as agriculture, forest/wetland, non-permitted urban)
• MOS = Margin of Safety
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Phosphorus (TP) for MS4/TMDLs has its own WLA, as defined by the TMDL, for each Reachshed of an impaired waterbody

• WATER QUALITY MONITORING
• WATERSHEDS EVALUATED FOR TSS AND TP LOADING USING WINSLAMM
• WATERSHED DELINEATED BASED ON DRAINAGE AREA FOR OUTFALLS AND/OR TREATMENT PRACTICES
• TREATMENT PRACTICES – GRASS SWALES, INFILTRATION AND WET PONDS, FILTER STRIPS, CATCH BASINS AND STREET SWEEPING (ONLY STREETS WITH CURB & GUTTER ARE ELIGIBLE
• WATERSHED CAN BE EXCLUDED FROM MODELING IF:• AREA DOES NOT DRAIN THROUGH MS4/TMDL

MS4/TMDL PERMIT SUMMARY• TMDL’S DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON AN MS4 AND
HOW IT IS EVALUATED• MAKE SURE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR ALL EXISTING BMP’S IN A
WATERSHED• LOOK FOR ANY PRIVATE BMP’S AND DISCUSS EASEMENTS WITH
THE OWNERS• MAKE SURE TO COMPLETE INFILTROMETER TESTING TO
INCREASE INFILTRATION RATES OF SWALES AND BASINS• LOOK FOR WAYS TO INCREASE INFILTRATION OPPORTUNITIES
WITH GRASSED SWALES AND FILTER STRIPS

WWTP Facility Upgrades • Analysis of existing operations
– Facilities with tertiary treatment• Pilot testing shows they can typically get close
– Optimization of processes & increased use of chemicals
– Facilities with no tertiary treatment• May need upgrades at significant cost if on impaired
waterway• Consider requesting a revised 7Q10 flow from USGS
if stream is below criteria to gain maximum dilution factor possible

Consumptive Use• Consumptive use
– potential users of water that may be able to use treated wastewater as a substitute water source.
– Water = “consumed” by evaporation, or incorporation into a product or discharge to somewhere other than the waterway ≠ phosphorus standards.
– Site specific – Examples
• Wash water for Frac sand• Irrigation • Concrete products (watch chloride content)

What we’re hearing• Adaptive management
– If the stream doesn’t meet criteria, must look at other options
