Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The information provided in this exhibit shall be presented
					 in a manner that distinguishes between sanitary wastewater, process wastewater,
					 and intermingled sanitary and process wastewater. If a sanitary or process
					 wastewater sewer interconnection is proposed for the facility, Exhibit 39 shall
					 contain:
(a) A detailed description of
				  the proposed wastewater sewer interconnection, including all interconnecting
				  facilities, line route, size, functions, and operating
				  characteristics.
(b) A separate
				  water balance diagram for hourly and daily peak and hourly and daily average
				  water use operating conditions for the facility that shows in detail all water
				  sources, plant water uses, water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment
				  facilities, wastewater discharges and which effluents shall be discharged, and
				  where, including information on the characteristics (e.g. volume, temperature,
				  constituent concentrations) of each water withdrawal and discharge under all
				  operating conditions.
(c) An
				  identification and evaluation of reasonable mitigation measures regarding
				  wastewater generation and disposal impacts, including the use of on-site
				  subsurface disposal.
(d) An
				  identification and description of all reasonable discharge or disposal methods
				  for wastewater generated from the facility, including a review of options for
				  discharging to municipal sewer systems, aquifer recharge areas, in-ground
				  discharges, or other process wastewater disposal, as well as, where applicable,
				  an analysis of the impacts on water quality and quantity in affected
				  groundwater and surface water resources, and an analysis of the impacts of any
				  out-of-aquifer transfers.
(e) A
				  description of available capacity and any limitations on wastewater disposal
				  capacity.
(f) If a municipal or
				  private sewage treatment system is proposed to be used, a description of the
				  status of negotiations, or a copy of agreements that have been executed, with
				  municipalities, companies or individuals for receiving wastewater from the
				  facility including any restrictions or conditions of approval placed on the
				  facility for wastewater disposal, if any, imposed by the provider, and a
				  preliminary description of how the interconnection and any necessary system
				  upgrades will be installed, owned, maintained and funded.
(g) For each proposed discharge, an
				  identification and description of any facility wastewater treatment facilities
				  and discharge structures, including a demonstration that each facility and/or
				  effluent discharge will meet all applicable effluent limitations or
				  pretreatment standards, as well as all applicable New York State water quality
				  standards, during construction and operation.
(h) A completed application for the State
				  pollutant discharge elimination system (SPDES) permit and a demonstration that
				  the discharge complies with all applicable technology-based and/or
				  water-quality based effluent limits.
