DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY The Corinne Wastewater Lagoon System (Corinne) was constructed in 1971 with seven cells. In 1981 it was expanded to eight cells. The facility serves Corinne City with a current population of 730 people (2020 UPDES permit application). The facility consists of a bar screen, 45o V-notch inlet weir, comminutor, sump and pump station, eight facultative lagoons operating in a series, a Steven discharge flow recorder and a gas chlorine system. The lagoon has a hydraulic detention time of 180 days. The facility has two discharge Outfalls. Outfall 001 is a twelve-inch diameter concrete pipe that runs approximately 200 feet and discharges directly into the Bear River. Outfall 001D discharges into a retention ditch and then into holding ponds on the adjacent farmer’s property which is used for irrigation during the growing season. The land application site is approximately 260 acres, south and southwest west of the
wastewater lagoons. The facility discharges approximately 70,000 gpd. Corinne is working on replacing or coating the wastewater collection system to help prevent infiltration
into the collection system. This will also help with the loading at the lagoons. SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS PERMIT Corinne has installed a gas chlorine system and finished the land application project since the last permit cycle. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) has been added to the permit to support the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) and impairment listing efforts. TBPEL Rule Water Quality adopted UAC R317-1-3.3, Technology-Based Phosphorus Effluent Limit (TBPEL) Rule in 2014. No TBPEL will be instituted for discharging treatment lagoons. Instead, each discharging lagoon will be evaluated to determine the current annual average total phosphorus load measured in pounds per year
based on monthly average flow rates and concentrations. Absent field data to determine these loads, and in case of intermittent discharging lagoons, the phosphorus load cap will be estimated by the Director. A cap

UT0020931
Page 2 of 125% of the current annual total phosphorus load will be established and referred to as phosphorus loading cap. Once the lagoon's phosphorus loading cap has been reached, the owner of the facility will have
five years to construct treatment processes or implement treatment alternatives to prevent the total phosphorus loading cap from being exceeded. The TBPEL discharging treatment works are required to implement, at a minimum, monthly monitoring. R317-1-3.3, E, 1, a.

In R317-1-3.3, E, 3 the rule states that all monitoring shall be based on 24-hour composite samples by use of an automatic sampler or a minimum of four grab samples collected a minimum of two hours apart. The phosphorus annual loading cap is defined as: "Annual Loading Cap” is the highest allowable phosphorus loading discharged over a calendar year,
calculated as the sum of all the monthly loading discharges measured during a calendar year divided by the number of monthly discharges measured during that year.

DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE Corinne has been reporting monthly self-monitoring results on NetDMR. Corinne has notified DWQ regarding Outfall 001D exceedances; six for BOD from December 2017 to September 2018, one TSS in October 2018 and one pH in February 2020. Four of the BOD exceedances resulted in a Notice of Violation and Settlement Agreement. The facility strives to find ways improve the process and eliminate exceedances.
Outfall Description of Discharge Point
001 Located at latitude 41°32'13.8" and longitude 112°06'40". The Corinne Wastewater Lagoon System is located approximately ½ mile south of the City of Corinne on the west side of the Bear River. The discharge is from a twelve-inch corrugated metal pipe discharging directly to the Bear River.
001D Located at latitude 41°32'15" and longitude 112°06'42". The discharge from this location flows into a retention ditch and then into holding pond on the adjacent farmers property for land disposal.
Facility Name FSSOB
UT0020931
Page 3 RECEIVING WATERS AND STREAM CLASSIFICATION If a discharge were to occur, it would be pumped into an irrigation ditch, which is a Class 2B, 3B, 3D and
4 according to Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R317-2-13.3(a): Class 2B Protected for infrequent primary contact recreation. Also protected for secondary contact recreation where there is a low likelihood of ingestion of water or a low degree of bodily contact with the water. Examples include, but are not limited to, wading, hunting, and fishing. Class 3B Protected for warm water species of game fish and other warm water aquatic life, including the necessary aquatic organisms in their food chain. Class 3D Protected for waterfowl, shore birds and other water-oriented wildlife not included in Classes 3A, 3B, or 3C, including the necessary aquatic organisms in their food chain. Class 4 Protected for agricultural uses including irrigation of crops and stock watering.
SURFACE WATER DISCHARGE Basis For Effluent Limitations Limitations on total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), E. coli, pH and percent removal for BOD5 and TSS are based on current Utah Secondary Treatment Standards, UAC R317-1-3.2. The dissolved oxygen minimum is based on the wasteload analysis (WLA) and indicates these parameters
should be sufficiently protective of water quality, in order to meet State water quality standards in the receiving waters. Ammonia and total residual chlorine (TRC) were evaluated; however, Corinne has no reasonable potential to exceed the maximum levels calculated in the WLA. Attached is a Wasteload Analysis for this discharge into the Bear River. It has been determined that this discharge will not cause a violation of water quality standards. An Antidegradation Level II review is not
required since the Level I review shows that water quality impacts are minimal. The permittee is expected to be able to comply with these limitations. The permit limitations in Table 1 with monitoring and reporting requirements in Table 2 and 3. Parameters of Concern
The potential parameters of concerns identified for the discharge/receiving water were as determined are metals (as a function of hardness) due to a metal finisher in the area. TMDL Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a pollutant of concern for the Bear River watershed. Corinne will monitor TDS monthly during the times of discharge to the Outfall 001 and/or Outfall 001D to help support the
TMDL efforts in the Bear River watershed. At any time during this permit cycle, if the analysis results indicate the TDS is over the projected TMDL of 1200 mg/L, DWQ will review the findings and the permit may be reopened to address those concerns. Reasonable Potential Analysis
Since January 1, 2016, DWQ has conducted reasonable potential analysis (RP) on all new and renewal applications received after that date. In order to complete a RP analysis, more than 10 data points per parameter are needed. Corinne did not discharge out of Outfall 001 and therefore metals data was not available. For this permit cycle, Corinne will be required to sample, at a minimum, annual metal sampling from Outfall 001 and 001D. If additional sampling is performed, it shall be reported to DWQ. Less than 10
data points may affect the RP outcomes which may require additional monitoring in the future.

Page 8 BIOSOLIDS
The State of Utah has adopted the 40 CFR 503 federal regulations for the disposal of sewage sludge (biosolids) by reference. However, since this facility is a lagoon, there is not any regular sludge production. Therefore 40 CFR 503 does not apply at this time. In the future, if the sludge needs to be removed from the lagoons and is disposed in some way, the Division of Water Quality must be contacted prior to the removal of the sludge to ensure that all applicable state and federal regulations are met STORM WATER Separate storm water permits may be required based on the types of activities occurring on site. Permit coverage under the Multi Sector General Permit (MSGP) for Storm Water Discharges from
Industrial Activities is required based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for the facility and the types of industrial activities occurring. If the facility is not already covered, it has 30 days from when this permit is issued to submit the appropriate Notice of Intent (NOI) for the MSGP or exclusion
documentation. Previously storm water discharge requirements and coverage were combined in this individual permit. These have been separated to provide consistency among permittees, electronic reporting for storm water discharge monitoring reports, and increase flexibility to changing site conditions.
Permit coverage under the Construction General Storm Water Permit (CGP) is required for any construction at the facility which disturb an acre or more, or is part of a common plan of development or sale that is an acre or greater. A Notice of Intent (NOI) is required to obtain a construction storm water permit prior to the period of construction. Information on storm water permit requirements can be found at http://stormwater.utah.gov PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS The permittee has not been designated to develop an approved pretreatment program. At this time, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is controlling significant industrial uses (SIUs) within the service area. Although the permittee does not have to develop an approved pretreatment program, any wastewater
discharges to the sanitary sewer are subject to Federal, State and local regulations. Pursuant to Section 307 of the Clean Water Act, the permittee shall comply with all applicable Federal General Pretreatment Regulations promulgated, found in 40 CFR 403 and the State Pretreatment Requirements found in UAC
R317-8-8. Although an approved pretreatment program is not required at this time, the permittee should to become
knowledgeable of the pretreatment requirements that are required by the IUs discharging into the POTW. This can be done by attending trainings and webinars regarding pretreatment. Webinars are posted by EPA that can be viewed at any time. Continuing education units (CEUs) can be submitted to DWQ for attending trainings and webinars for certified wastewater and collection system operators. The following link is to the EPA Pretreatment Webinars https://www.epa.gov/npdes/national-pretreatment-program-training-and-webinars#pretreat101 An industrial waste survey (IWS) is required of the permittee as stated in Part II of the permit. The IWS is to assess the needs of the permittee regarding pretreatment assistance. The IWS is required to be submitted within ninety (90) days after the issuance of the permit. If an Industrial User begins to discharge or an
Facility Name FSSOB
UT0020931
Page 9 existing IU changes their discharge the permittee must resubmit an IWS no later than sixty days following the introduction or change as stated in Part II of the permit.
Discharge from industrial users (IUs) is occurring within the service area. A list of the IUs discharging to the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) was submitted with the permit application for the permit renewal. SIUs that discharge to the POTW are currently controlled by DWQ. Based on the list of industrial uses discharging to the POTW metals and oil and grease must be sampled to ensure the narrative and water quality standards are met for the discharge. Also, DWQ will be assisting as the control authority to address issues with IUs within the service area. This assistance will include conducting inspections with the permittee within the first 90 days of the permit issuance. It is required that the permittee submit for review any local limits that are developed to the Division of Water Quality for review. If local limits are developed it is required that the permittee perform an annual
evaluation of the need to revise or develop technically based local limits for pollutants of concern, to implement the general and specific prohibitions 40 CFR, Part 403.5(a) and Part 403.5(b). This evaluation may indicate that present local limits are sufficiently protective, need to be revised or should be developed. BIOMONITORING REQUIREMENTS A nationwide effort to control toxic discharges where effluent toxicity is an existing or potential concern is regulated in accordance with the Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit and Enforcement Guidance Document for Whole Effluent Toxicity Control (biomonitoring), dated February 2018. Authority to require effluent biomonitoring is provided in Permit Conditions, UAC R317-8-4.2, Permit Provisions, UAC R317-8-5.3 and Water Quality Standards, UAC R317-2-5 and R317 -2-7.2. The permittee is a minor municipal facility that will be discharging an infrequent amount of effluent, in which toxicity is neither an existing concern, nor likely to be present. Also, the receiving irrigation ditch is regularly dry; therefore there is not any available data to conclude that the irrigation ditch is impaired. Based on these considerations, and the absence of receiving stream water quality monitoring data, there is no reasonable potential for toxicity in the permittee’s discharge (per State of Utah Permitting and Enforcement Guidance Document for WET Control). As such, there will be no numerical WET limitations or WET monitoring requirements in this permit. However, the permit will contain a toxicity limitation re-
opener provision that allows for modification of the permit should additional information indicate the presence of toxicity in the discharge.
PERMIT DURATION It is recommended that this permit be effective for a duration of five (5) years.

Industrial Pretreatment Wastewater Survey
Do you periodically experience any of the following treatment works problems: foam, floaties or unusual colors plugged collection lines caused by grease, sand, flour, etc. discharging excessive suspended solids, even in the winter
smells unusually bad waste treatment facility doesn’t seem to be treating the waste right
Perhaps the solution to a problem like one of these may lie in investigating the types and amounts of wastewater entering the sewer system from industrial users.
An industrial user (IU) is defined as a non-domestic user discharging to the waste treatment facility which meets any of the following criteria: 1. has a lot of process wastewater (5% of the flow at the waste treatment facility or more than 25,000 gallons per work day.) Examples: Food processor, dairy, slaughterhouse, industrial laundry. 2. is subject to Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards; Examples: metal plating, cleaning or coating of metals, bluing of metals, aluminum extruding,
circuit board manufacturing, tanning animal skins, pesticide formulating or packaging, and pharmaceutical manufacturing or packaging, 3. is a concern to the POTW. Examples: septage hauler, restaurant and food service, car wash, hospital, photo lab, carpet
cleaner, commercial laundry. All users of the water treatment facility are prohibited from making the following types of discharges: 1. A discharge which creates a fire or explosion hazard in the collection system. 2. A discharge which creates toxic gases, vapor or fumes in the collection system. 3. A discharge of solids or thick liquids which creates flow obstructions in the collection system. 4. An acidic discharge (low pH) which causes corrosive damage to the collection system.
5. Petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause problems in the collection system or at the waste treatment facility.
6. Waste haulers are prohibited from discharging without permission. (No midnight dumping!)
When the solution to a sewer system problem may be found by investigating the types and amounts of wastewater entering the sewer system discharged from IUs, it’s appropriate to conduct an Industrial Waste
Survey.
An Industrial Waste Survey consists of:
Step 1: Identify Industrial Users
Make a list of all the commercial and industrial sewer connections. Sources for the list: business license, building permits, water and wastewater billing, Chamber of
Commerce, newspaper, telephone book, yellow pages. Split the list into two groups:
domestic wastewater only--no further information needed everyone else (IUs) Step 2: Preliminary Inspection
Go visit each IU identified on the “everybody else” list.
Fill out the Preliminary Inspection Form during the site visit. Step 3: Informing the State

Facility: Corinne City Corp.
UPDES No. UT- 0020931
Receiving water: Bear River (2B, 3B, 3D, 4)
This addendum summarizes the wasteload analysis that was performed to determine water quality
based effluent limits (WQBEL) for this discharge. Wasteload analyses are performed to determine
point source effluent limitations necessary to maintain designated beneficial uses by evaluating
projected effects of discharge concentrations on in-stream water quality. The wasteload analysis
also takes into account downstream designated uses (UAC R317-2-8). Projected concentrations
are compared to numeric water quality standards to determine acceptability. The numeric criteria
in this wasteload analysis may be modified by narrative criteria and other conditions determined
by staff of the Division of Water Quality.
Discharge
Outfall 001: Bear River
The mean monthly design discharge is 0.07 MGD (0.11 cfs) for the facility.
Receiving Water
The receiving water for Outfall 001 is the Bear River.
Per UAC R317-2-13.3(a), the designated beneficial uses for the Bear River and tributaries, from

• Class 4 - Protected for agricultural uses including irrigation of crops and stock watering.
Flow
Typically, the critical flow for the wasteload analysis is considered the lowest stream flow for
seven consecutive days with a ten-year return frequency (7Q10). The 7Q10 flow was calculated
using USGS data from station 10126000 (BEAR RIVER NEAR CORINNE, UT) for the period
2010-2020. The calculated critical low flow values for each season are listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Seasonal 7Q10 Flow Values
Season 7Q10 Flow (cfs)
Summer 87.91
Fall 202.86
Winter 538.57

The receiving water quality in the Bear River was characterized using DWQ monitoring site
4901100 (BEAR RIVER NEAR CORINNE AT U83 XING) for the period 2000-2020.
TMDL
According to the Utah’s 2016 303(d) Water Quality Assessment Report, the receiving water for
the discharge, Bear River from Reeder Overflow diversion to Cutler Reservoir UT16010204-
008_00 (Bear River-2) is impaired for Bioassessment and Temperature.
In 2002, a TMDL was completed for the Lower Bear River. However, there were insufficient data
to accurately allocate nutrient loads. In 2018, an Implementation Plan was developed by the Utah
Division of Water Quality that included loading allocations for the point sources in the basin. The
Implementation Plan allocates 2.5 lb/d of total phosphorus for this facility whereas the Corinne
Lagoons current load is 2.0 lb/d of total phosphorus. The TMDL instream total phosphorus
endpoint remains the same as in 2002.
Moreover, the 2018/2020 Integrated Report, divided the existing assessment unit into two and the
receiving water for the discharge Bear River from Reeder Overflow Diversion to the confluence
with the Malad River (UT16010204-008_02 Bear River-2-2) is impaired for Macroinvertebrates,
Minimum Dissolved Oxygen and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

Mixing Zone
The maximum allowable mixing zone is 15 minutes of travel time for acute conditions, not to
exceed 50% of stream width, and 2,500 feet for chronic conditions, per UAC R317-2-5. Water
quality standards must be met at the end of the mixing zone.
The mixing zone analysis shows the discharge to be fully mixed by the end of the mixing zone.
Acute limits were calculated using 50% of the seasonal critical low flow.
Parameters of Concern
The potential parameters of concerns identified for the discharge/receiving water were as
determined in consultation with the UPDES Permit Writer are metals (as a function of hardness)
due to the metal finisher in the area.
WET Limits
The percent of effluent in the receiving water in a fully mixed condition, and acute and chronic
dilution in a not fully mixed condition are calculated in the WLA in order to generate WET limits.
The LC50 (lethal concentration, 50%) percent effluent for acute toxicity and the IC25 (inhibition
concentration, 25%) percent effluent for chronic toxicity, as determined by the WET test (see Table
2), needs to be below the WET limits, as determined by the WLA. The WET limit for LC50 is
typically 100% effluent and does not need to be determined by the WLA.
Table 2.WET Limits for IC25
Outfall Percent Effluent
Outfall 001 0.1%
Wasteload Allocation Methods
Effluent limits were determined for conservative constituents using a simple mass balance mixing
analysis (UDWQ 2012). The mass balance analysis is summarized in the Wasteload Addendum.
The water quality standard for chronic ammonia toxicity is dependent on temperature and pH, and
the water quality standard for acute ammonia toxicity is dependent on pH. The AMMTOX Model
developed by University of Colorado and adapted by Utah DWQ and EPA Region VIII was used
to determine ammonia effluent limits (Lewis et al. 2002). The analysis is summarized in the
Wasteload Addendum.
Models and supporting documentation are available for review upon request.
Antidegradation Level I Review
The objective of the Level I ADR is to ensure the protection of existing uses, defined as the
beneficial uses attained in the receiving water on or after November 28, 1975. No evidence is

known that the existing uses deviate from the designated beneficial uses for the receiving water.
Therefore, the beneficial uses will be protected if the discharge remains below the WQBELs
presented in this wasteload.
A Level II Antidegradation Review (ADR) is not required for this facility.

I. Introduction
Wasteload analyses are performed to determine point source effluent limitations necessary to maintain designated
beneficial uses by evaluating projected effects of discharge concentrations on in-stream water quality. The
wasteload analysis also takes into account downstream designated uses [R317-2-8, UAC]. Projected concen-
trations are compared to numeric water quality standards to determine acceptability. The anti-degradation
policy and procedures are also considered. The primary in-stream parameters of concern may include metals
(as a function of hardness), total dissolved solids (TDS), total residual chlorine (TRC), un-ionized ammonia (as a
function of pH and temperature, measured and evaluated interms of total ammonia), and dissolved oxygen.
Mathematical water quality modeling is employed to determine stream quality response to point source discharges.
Models aid in the effort of anticipating stream quality at future effluent flows at critical environmental conditions
(e.g., low stream flow, high temperature, high pH, etc).
The numeric criteria in this wasteload analysis may always be modified by narrative criteria and other conditions
determined by staff of the Division of Water Quality.

in-stream flows targeted to the 7-day, 10-year low flow (R317-2-9).
Other conditions used in the modeling effort coincide with the environmental conditions expected
at low stream flows.
Effluent Limitation for Flow based upon Water Quality Standards
In-stream criteria of downstream segments will be met with an effluent flow maximum value as follows:
Season Daily Average
Summer 0.070 MGD 0.108 cfs
Fall 0.070 MGD 0.108 cfs
Winter 0.070 MGD 0.108 cfs
Spring 0.070 MGD 0.108 cfs
Flow Requirement or Loading Requirement
The calculations in this wasteload analysis utilize the maximum effluent discharge flow of 0.07 MGD. If the
discharger is allowed to have a flow greater than 0.07 MGD during 7Q10 conditions, and effluent limit
concentrations as indicated, then water quality standards will be violated. In order to prevent this from occuring,
the permit writers must include the discharge flow limititation as indicated above; or, include loading effluent
limits in the permit.
Effluent Limitation for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) based upon WET Policy
Effluent Toxicity will not occur in downstream segements if the values below are met.
WET Requirements LC50 >0.8%Effluent [Acute]
IC25 >0.1%Effluent [Chronic]

X. Antidegradation Considerations
The Utah Antidegradation Policy allows for degradation of existing quality where it is determined
that such lowering of water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social
development in the area in which the waters are protected [R317-2-3]. It has been determined that
certain chemical parameters introduced by this discharge will cause an increase of the concentration of
said parameters in the receiving waters. Under no conditions will the increase in concentration be
allowed to interfere with existing instream water uses.
The antidegradation rules and procedures allow for modification of effluent limits less than those based
strictly upon mass balance equations utilizing 100% of the assimilative capacity of the receiving water.
Additional factors include considerations for "Blue-ribbon" fisheries, special recreational areas,
threatened and endangered species, and drinking water sources.
An Antidegradation Level I Review was conducted on this discharge and its effect on the
receiving water. Based upon that review, it has been determined that an
increase in permitted flow or concentration.
XI. Colorado River Salinity Forum Considerations
Discharges in the Colorado River Basin are required to have their discharge at a TDS loading
of less than 1.00 tons/day unless certain exemptions apply. Refer to the Forum's Guidelines
for additional information allowing for an exceedence of this value.
This doesn’t apply to facilities that do not discharge to the Colorado River Basin.
XII. Summary Comments
The mathematical modeling and best professional judgement indicate that violations of receiving
water beneficial uses with their associated water quality standards, including important down-
stream segments, will not occur for the evaluated parameters of concern as discussed above if the
effluent limitations indicated above are met.

XIII. Notice of UPDES Requirement
This Addendum to the Statement of Basis does not authorize any entity or party to discharge to the
waters of the State of Utah. That authority is granted through a UPDES permit issued by the Utah
Division of Water Quality. The numbers presented here may be changed as a function of other
factors. Dischargers are strongly urged to contact the Permits Section for further information.
Permit writers may utilize other information to adjust these limits and/or to determine other limits
based upon best available technology and other considerations provided that the values in this
wasteload analysis [TMDL] are not compromised. See special provisions in Utah Water Quality
Standards for adjustments in the Total Dissolved Solids values based upon background concentration.
XIV. Special Considerations - TMDL
The Corinne Lagoons discharge to a segment of the Bear River that is 303(d) listed for total phosphorous (TP).
A TP TMDL was completed for the Bear River on September 9th, 2002.
The TMDL indicated that the three point sources in this segment, Corinne, Bear River and Tremonton cities,
accounted for approximately 3% of the total phosphorous load to the Lower Bear River. The remaining 97%
is attributed to nonpoint sources. Given that the non-point source TP loads overshadow the point source
contributions, the time-frame for including TP effluent limits for the small towns of Bear River City, Tremonton
and Corinne is not urgent. The Division of Water Quality recently completed a TMDL for Cutler Reservoir
(immediately upstream of the lower Bear River segment). Following completion of the Cutler Reservoir TMDL,
the Lower Bear River TMDL will be redone.
In 2018, an Implementation Plan developed by the Utah Division of Water Quality allocated 2.5 lb/d
of total phosphors (previously the Corinne Lagoons were allocated 2.0 lb/d of total phosphorus).
The Lower Bear River Implementation Plan is based on records from May 2011 through June 2016
where average monthly flows range from 0.06 to 0.22 mgd. Insufficient data are available to evaluate trends.
Discharge TP concentrations range from 0.69 mg/l to 4.05 mg/l.
There do not appear to be any discernible seasonal or long-term trends in discharge TP concentration.
TP discharge loads range from 0.20 lb/d to 18.14 lb/d. As with concentration, insufficient data are available to
evaluate trends. Additional TP data continues to be collected.
A WLA of 2.5 lb/d was calculated by multiplying the average annual load (2.0 lb/d) by 125 percent.
A daily average load for each calendar month was calculated by averaging paired TP and flow from
June 2011 through May 2016. The daily average load for each month was then multiplied by the number of
days per month and summed; the summation was divided by 365 days per year to yield the average annual load in lb/d.
The current average annual load is 2.0 lb/d, which was calculated using monthly averages of paired TP
and effluent flow data from June 2011 through May 2016. Implementing the phosphorus loading cap
(would result in an increase (on average) of 0.5 lb/d.
No assimilative capacity exists for this pollutant. Effluent limit equals the water quality standard.

REASONABLE POTENTIAL ANALYSIS
Water Quality has worked to improve our reasonable potential analysis (RP) for the inclusion of limits for parameters in the permit by using an EPA provided model. As a result of the model, more parameters may be included in the renewal permit. A Copy of the Reasonable Potential Analysis Guidance (RP Guide) is available at water Quality. There are four outcomes for the RP Analysis1. They are; Outcome A: A new effluent limitation will be placed in the permit. Outcome B: No new effluent limitation. Routine monitoring requirements will be placed or increased from what they are in the permit, Outcome C: No new effluent limitation. Routine monitoring requirements maintained as they are in the permit,
Outcome D: No limitation or routine monitoring requirements are in the permit. Since January 1, 2016, DWQ has conducted reasonable potential analysis (RP) on all new and renewal
applications received after that date. In order to complete a RP analysis, more than 10 data points per parameter are needed. Corinne was not required to sample for metal parameters in their previous permit, therefore, analysis data is not available to perform a RP analysis. For this permit cycle, Corinne will be required to permit,
at a minimum, annual metal sampling. If additional sampling is performed, it shall be reported to DWQ. Less than 10 data points may affect the RP outcomes which may require additional monitoring in the future.
