For
Phase
III
of
the
316(
b)
rulemaking
analyses,
the
intakes
of
six
facilities
that
have
multiple
intakes
were
split.
Five
of
these
facilities
(
DMU
3207,
3240,
3237,
3260
and
3231)
have
both
their
resulting
intakes
in
the
same
waterbody
type.
To
estimate
ICR
burden
and
costs,
the
higher
of
the
two
Design
Intake
Flows
(
DIFs),
or
the
most
conservative
type
of
intake
if
the
DIFs
were
the
same,
was
assumed.

For
one
facility
(
DMU3329),
the
two
split
intakes
withdraw
water
from
saltwater
and
freshwater
sources.
To
estimate
ICR
burden
and
costs,
this
facility
was
assumed
to
be
one
facility
for
some
of
the
activities,
but
two
facilities
for
other.
Table
1
below
shows
a
list
of
activities
and
the
assumptions.
