Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Part describes information required in an application
				  for lagoon exemption effluent limitations allowed by 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  304.120(a) and
				  (c). An approved lagoon exemption is required
				  before the appropriate limitations can be specified in a National Pollution
				  Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart A - INTRODUCTION › Section 373.102 - Definition of a Third Stage Treatment Lagoon Facility

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A third-stage treatment lagoon is defined as a waste
				  treatment facility employing an aerated or nonaerated waste stabilization
				  lagoon alone or in conjunction with one or more additional treatment units in
				  which the units are incapable of producing an effluent quality equal to or
				  better than otherwise applicable effluent limitations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  304.120 and
				  water quality standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.
(Source Amended at 12 Ill. Reg. 3472, effective January 22,
				  1988)
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart A - INTRODUCTION › Section 373.103 - Eligibility

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In accordance with the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				  304.120(a) and
				  (c), third stage treatment lagoon facilities
				  must, in order to be eligible for consideration for a lagoon exemption, be
				  properly constructed pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 370, and properly maintained
				  and operated; cannot alone or in combination with other sources cause a
				  violation of the applicable dissolved oxygen water quality standard of 35 Ill.
				  Adm. Code
				  302.206; and
				  must qualify under one of the following categories:
a) Any wastewater treatment works with an
				untreated waste load of less than 2,500 Population Equivalents (P.E.), which is
				sufficiently isolated so that combining with other sources to aggregate 2,500
				P.E. or more is not practicable.
b)
				Any wastewater treatment works in existence and employing third stage treatment
				lagoons on January 1, 1986, whose untreated waste load is 5,000 P.E., or less
				and sufficiently isolated that combining to aggregate 5,000 P.E. or more is not
				practicable.
c) Any wastewater
				treatment works with an untreated waste load of 5,000 P.E., or less, which has
				reached the end of its useful life (see Section
				373.205 )
				by January 1, 1987, and is sufficiently isolated that combining to aggregate
				5,000 P.E. or more is not practicable.
d) Any wastewater treatment works with an
				untreated wasteload of 5,000 P.E. or less which has not reached the end of its
				useful life and which has received an adjusted standard determination from the
				Board that it qualifies for a lagoon exemption. Such a Board determination will
				only be made in an adjusted standard proceeding, held in accordance with
				Section 28.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch.
				1111/2, par. 1028.1 ) and applicable by procedures set forth by 35 Ill. Adm.
				Code 106.
1) In an adjusted standard
				proceeding the Board may determine that the petitioning wastewater treatment
				source qualifies for a lagoon exemption if the wastewater treatment works
				proves that it is so situated that a land treatment system is not a suitable
				treatment alternative. Factors relevant to a suitability finding may include
				the following: cost; influent character; geographic characteristics; climate;
				soil conditions; hydrologic conditions; and the availability of irrigable
				land.
2) For the purpose of this
				subsection (d), a land treatment system is a wastewater treatment system which
				does not directly discharge treated effluent to water of the State but instead
				uses the treated effluent to irrigate terrestrial vegetation.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart B - FACILITY INFORMATION › Section 373.204 - Sufficient Isolation Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The applicant shall show that the facility is sufficiently
				  isolated so that combining with other sources to aggregate 2,500 P.E. or more
				  if applying per Section
				  373.103(a),
				  or more than 5,000 P.E. if applying per Section
				  373.103(b) or
				  (c), is not practical. ]
a) If the facility is not located in a
				designated facilities planning area the facility will be considered
				isolated.
b) If the facility is
				located in a designated facilities planning area which has less than the
				allowable total wastewater load, it will be considered isolated. If load
				forecasts suggest that the P.E. limit will be met within the design life of the
				facility, the lagoon exemption will be granted for only a fixed period of time.
				At each permit renewal, the condition shall be reevaluated based on actual load
				increases.
c) If the facility is
				located in a designated facilities planning area with more than the allowable
				total wastewater load, the exemption shall be denied unless one or more of the
				following conditions are met:
1) The facility
				is a permanent feature of an approved facilities plan for the area.
2) The facility is an interim feature of an
				approved facilities plan, in which case the exemption shall be granted with
				termination conditions as provided for in the plan.
3) The facility was not addressed in an
				approved facilities plan, and all units of government which might be considered
				capable of providing service have indicated in writing their inability to do so
				on equitable terms.
4) There is no
				completed and approved facilities plan for the area and the discharge is not
				located within the area of zoning control of any municipality or within any
				sewer district or any other unit of government capable of providing sewer
				service. In this case, the isolation criteria shall be satisfied on an interim
				basis pending completion and approval of the facilities plan for the area. In
				such instances, a lagoon exemption may be issued for a specified time period,
				subject to review and extension or termination after approval of the completed
				facility plan.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart B - FACILITY INFORMATION › Section 373.205 - Useful Life

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Applicants wishing to qualify for an exemption under Section
				  373.103(c)
				  must complete a Useful Life evaluation. This evaluation must demonstrate that
				  the existing facility has exceeded its useful life. Useful life is considered
				  to be the time span over which a wastewater treatment facility can be expected
				  to be economically operated and maintained. Useful life is distinctly different
				  from design life. Publicly owned treatment works constructed with the
				  assistance of a federal or state construction grant must, at the minimum, be
				  operated and maintained for the design life of the project (typically 20
				  years). The Useful Life requirement is intended to prevent the premature
				  retirement of facilities capable of meeting the more stringent effluent limits
				  of 10mg/1 BOD5 and 12mg/1 total suspended solids. The
				  evaluation is also intended to assess the Useful Life of individual components
				  of the existing facility, so that any salvageable components are incorporated
				  into the proposed facility for which an exemption is requested should it prove
				  to be cost-prohibitive to continue to meet the more stringent limits. This
				  ensures that the highest degree of treatment possible is provided, in the most
				  cost-effective manner. Applicants will provide the following
				  information:
a) Determine the
				structural integrity of the individual units in the existing
				facility.
b) Review the operations
				and maintenance record for past performance.
c) Relate Subsections (a) and (b) to the
				expected life cycle for the individual units. USEPA provides the following
				general guidelines for life cycle: conveyance structures (piping) - 50 years;
				process equipment - 15 to 20 years; buildings and concrete tanks - 30 to 50
				years; auxiliary equipment - 10 to 15 years.
d) Determine the present worth cost to
				continue use of the existing facility over a 5, 10 and 20 year planning period
				using standard engineering economic analysis. Sunk costs are not included in
				this analysis. Relate this cost to user charges.
e) Describe alternatives to using the
				existing facility, ranging from addition of one or more lagoon cells in
				conjunction with upgrading of existing facilities to the construction of an
				entirely new lagoon system. Determine the present worth costs of these
				alternatives over the same planning horizons. Relate these costs to user
				charges.

				origin in amounts that are likely to elevate sediment oxygen demand above
				background levels for similar streams in the vicinity; and
e) The name, location, design average flow
				rate and NPDES permit limitations of other wastewater sources (if any) which

				value,
2) ambient
				BOD5,
3)
				ambient total ammonia nitrogen concentration,
4) ambient dissolved oxygen
				concentration,
5) the lagoon system
				discharge at its design average flow rate and design effluent
				quality,
6) expected maximum stream
				temperature, and
7) other hydraulic
				parameters as described in Appendix C.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart C - STREAM INFORMATION › Appendix A - Maximum Critical Length

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The maximum critical length of a receiving stream is the
				  distance (downstream from the wastewater source) required at 7-day 10-year low
				  flow to reestablish an instream BOD5 of 5 mg/l. The
				  amount of time required to reestablish the 5 mg/l BOD5
				  is termed the critical time of travel. The maximum critical length can be
				  estimated by computing the maximum critical time of travel, which can be
				  approximated using the following equation:

This relationship assumes that BOD5
				  decays according to ordinary first order reaction kinetics.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 373 - THIRD STAGE TREATMENT LAGOON EXEMPTIONS › Subpart C - STREAM INFORMATION › Appendix C - Hydraulic Parameters

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In order to utilize the modified Streeter-Phelps dissolved
				  oxygen model specified in Section
				  373.304,
				  it is necessary to determine specific hydraulic parameters including mean
				  stream depth, mean stream velocity and time of travel. These factors can be
				  estimated for the critical 7-day 10-year low flow condition through basic
				  open-channel hydraulic calculations (Manning Equation) for each stream
				  segment.
The critical stream length must be divided into one or more
				  segments of uniform hydraulic, geometric and water quality characteristics. The
				  characteristics of importance in this analysis include volumetric flow rate,
				  average stream velocity, depth and width of flow, stream slope, channel
				  geometry, and BOD5 and total ammonia nitrogen
				  concentrations. As a rule of thumb, therefore, a new segment should begin
				  where:
a) there is a wastewater discharge to the
				  stream,
b) the stream channel undergoes a change in slope
				  or cross sectional geometry, or
c) stream flow increases through addition of
				  another point source discharge, or confluence with another stream with non-zero
				  7-day 10-year low flow.
