(a)
Information requirements.
Except for a facility subject to the
				requirements of
				18 AAC 83.315, an applicant for an

				information to the department, using the applicable forms specified in
				18 AAC 83.305(a):
(1) the latitude and longitude of each
				outfall location to the nearest 15 seconds and the name of each receiving
				water;
(2) for each outfall
(A) a narrative identifying each type of
				process, operation, or production area that contributes wastewater to the
				effluent from that outfall, including process wastewater, cooling water, and
				storm water runoff; processes, operations, or production areas may be described
				in general terms, such as "dye-making reactor" or "distillation
				tower";
(B) the average flow that
				each process contributes and a description of the treatment the wastewater
				receives, including the ultimate disposal of any solid or fluid wastes other
				than by discharge;
(C) for a
				privately owned treatment works, the identity of each user of the treatment
				works;
(D) the average flow of
				point sources composed of storm water; for this sub-paragraph, the average flow
				may be estimated;
(E) the basis for
				the rainfall event with the method of estimation;
(3) a description of the frequency, duration,
				and flow rate of each discharge occurrence, except for storm water runoff,
				spillage, or leaks, for any of the discharges described in (a)(2) of this
				section that are intermittent or seasonal;
(4) a reasonable measure of the applicant's
				actual production reported in the units used in the applicable effluent
				guideline, if an effluent guideline promulgated under

				expressed in terms of production or other measure of operation; the reported
				measure must reflect the actual production of the facility as required by
				18 AAC 83.520;
(5) if the applicant is subject to any
				present requirements or compliance schedules for construction, upgrading, or
				operation of waste treatment equipment, an identification of the abatement
				requirement, a description of the abatement project, and a listing of the
				required and projected final compliance dates;
(6) a listing of any toxic pollutant that the
				applicant currently uses or manufactures as an intermediate or final product or
				byproduct, except that the department may waive or modify this requirement
(i) if the applicant demonstrates that it
				would be unduly burdensome to identify each toxic pollutant; and
(ii) the department has adequate information
				to issue the permit;
(7)
				an identification of any biological toxicity tests that the applicant knows or
				has reason to believe have been made within the last three years on any of the
				applicant's discharges or on a receiving water in relation to a
