Section 1001.39 - Exhibit 39: wastewater interconnection

The information provided in this exhibit shall be presented in a manner that distinguishes between sanitary wastewater, process wastewater, and intermingled sanitary and process wastewater. If a sanitary or process wastewater sewer interconnection is proposed for the facility, Exhibit 39 shall contain:

(a) A detailed description of the proposed wastewater sewer interconnection, including all interconnecting facilities, line route, size, functions, and operating characteristics.

(b) A separate water balance diagram for hourly and daily peak and hourly and daily average water use operating conditions for the facility that shows in detail all water sources, plant water uses, water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, wastewater discharges and which effluents shall be discharged, and where, including information on the characteristics (e.g. volume, temperature, constituent concentrations) of each water withdrawal and discharge under all operating conditions.

(c) An identification and evaluation of reasonable mitigation measures regarding wastewater generation and disposal impacts, including the use of on-site subsurface disposal.

(d) An identification and description of all reasonable discharge or disposal methods for wastewater generated from the facility, including a review of options for discharging to municipal sewer systems, aquifer recharge areas, in-ground discharges, or other process wastewater disposal, as well as, where applicable, an analysis of the impacts on water quality and quantity in affected groundwater and surface water resources, and an analysis of the impacts of any out-of-aquifer transfers.

(e) A description of available capacity and any limitations on wastewater disposal capacity.

(f) If a municipal or private sewage treatment system is proposed to be used, a description of the status of negotiations, or a copy of agreements that have been executed, with municipalities, companies or individuals for receiving wastewater from the facility including any restrictions or conditions of approval placed on the facility for wastewater disposal, if any, imposed by the provider, and a preliminary description of how the interconnection and any necessary system upgrades will be installed, owned, maintained and funded.

(g) For each proposed discharge, an identification and description of any facility wastewater treatment facilities and discharge structures, including a demonstration that each facility and/or effluent discharge will meet all applicable effluent limitations or pretreatment standards, as well as all applicable New York State water quality standards, during construction and operation.

(h) A completed application for the State pollutant discharge elimination system (SPDES) permit and a demonstration that the discharge complies with all applicable technology-based and/or water-quality based effluent limits.
