Corinne is requesting a Compliance Schedule while upgrades are made to the collection system, which will reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) to the lagoons. Increased I&I has resulted in numerous effluent violations from Outfall 001 and 001D. DWQ grants this request based on these improvement efforts. The Compliance Schedule will be effective from the permit modification issuance date until January 1, 2028. The Compliance Schedule will last for the duration of this UPDES Permit. For the duration of the Compliance Schedule,DWQ will implement interim limitations for the above parameters. The limitations are lower than requested by Corinne and are based on a review of Corinne’s effluent data for the last five years. The below interim permit limitations and Compliance Schedule are also reflected in Part 1.C.2.a., Part 1.C.2.b., and Part 1.C.3. of the Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) Permit No. UT0020931. These effluent limitations shall be applied to Outfall 001 and Outfall 001D. Any violation of the Compliance Schedule is a violation of the UPDES Permit.
