				  be included in a permit in addition to, or in lieu of, the water quality based
				  limitation calculated under s.
				  NR
				  217.13. When deciding whether to use a TMDL based
				  limit as a substitute for the limitation calculated under s.
				  NR
				  217.13, the department shall consider the following
				  factors:
(a) The degree to which nonpoint
				  sources contribute phosphorus to the impaired water;
(b) Whether waters upstream of the impaired
				  waters are meeting the phosphorus criteria; and
(c) Whether waters downstream of the impaired
				  water are meeting the phosphorus criteria.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL.
(a) Except as provided in sub. (4), the
				  department may provide a schedule of compliance for a water quality based
				  phosphorus limitation in a WPDES permit, where based on available information
				  the department finds that:
1. The schedule of
				  compliance will lead to compliance with the water quality based effluent
				  limitation as soon as possible; and
2. The schedule of compliance is appropriate
				  and necessary because the permittee cannot immediately achieve compliance with
				  the water quality based effluent limitation based on existing operation of its
				  treatment system.
Note: Before any compliance schedule is established in a
					 permit pursuant to this subchapter, the department must make the finding in par
					 (a).
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 200-299 - Environmental Protection - Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System › Chapter NR 217 - Effluent Standards And Limitations For Phosphorus › Subchapter III - Waterbody Assessments and Reporting › Section NR 217.19 - Variances for stabilization ponds and lagoon systems

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL.
(a) An owner or operator of a permitted
				  wastewater treatment system that consists primarily of a stabilization pond
				  system or a lagoon system may apply for a variance to the phosphorus water
				  quality based effluent limitations pursuant to s.
				  283.15(4) (a)
				  1 f., Stats., using the procedures in this
				  section.
Note: Stabilization ponds and lagoons are operated
					 primarily by communities serving a population of 2000 or less and small
					 industries. With currently available technology that could be used in
					 conjunction with stabilization ponds or lagoons, it is unlikely that phosphorus
					 water quality based effluent limits less than 1 mg/L can be consistently met.
					 To meet phosphorus water quality based effluent limits of less than 1 mg/L, it
					 will be necessary for owners of the systems to construct new wastewater
					 treatment plants which could result in substantial and widespread adverse
					 social and economic impacts.
(b) A new discharger may not receive approval
				  for a variance under this section or pursuant to any other variance
				  procedure.

					 follows:
(1) Effluent Limitation
				  Guidelines or ELGs are federal or state technology based guidelines or
				  standards that are used to establish effluent limitations for industrial
				  categories or classes of dischargers. They include federal guidelines,
				  standards, and limitations that are established under
				  33 USC 1311,
				  1314,
				  1316,
				  1318,
				  1342
				  and
				  1361 and state
				  promulgated guidelines, standards, and limitations in chs. NR 221 to
				  297.
(2) Fundamentally different
				  factors variance or FDFV means a variance or an adjustment to an effluent
				  limitation when data specific to a permittee indicates the presence of factors
				  that are fundamentally different from the factors considered by EPA in
				  development of the effluent limitation guidelines
				  33 USC 1311
				  and
				  1314.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) LISTED
				  INDUSTRIAL CATEGORIES. In the event that the EPA promulgates an effluent
				  limitation guideline for a category or class of point sources listed in s.
				  NR
				  220.02 that is more stringent than the promulgated
				  effluent limitation guideline for that category or class, the department shall
				  include an effluent limitation based on the EPA-promulgated effluent limitation
				  guideline in an issued, reissued, or modified WPDES permit for a point source
				  that belongs to the federal category or class of point sources in accordance
				  with the federally required compliance date.
(2) INDUSTRIAL CATEGORIES NOT SPECIFICALLY
				  LISTED. In the event that the EPA promulgates an effluent limitation guideline
				  for a category or class of point sources not listed in s.
				  NR
				  220.02, the department shall include an effluent
				  limitation based on the EPA-promulgated effluent limitation guideline in an
				  issued, reissued, or modified WPDES permit for a point source that belongs to
				  the federal category or class of point sources in accordance with the federally
				  required compliance date.
(3) LESS
				  STRINGENT LIMITATIONS. If a promulgated federal effluent limitation guideline
				  results in an effluent limitation that is less stringent than an existing
				  applicable technology based limitation contained in a WPDES permit, the
				  department may only include the less stringent limitation if the
				  antibacksliding requirements in ch. NR 207 are satisfied.
(4) COMPLIANCE. Prior to any permit
				  modification, revocation and reissuance, or reissuance to incorporate a
				  limitation for a toxic substance based on a revised federal effluent guideline
				  promulgated under
				  33 USC
				  1317, the permittee shall comply with the
				  federally promulgated guideline by the required compliance date even if the
				  permit has not yet been modified, revoked and reissued, or reissued to include
				  a limitation based on the revised guideline.

Current through June 24, 2024
The department shall, as soon as possible after the
					 promulgation of any federal regulations establishing effluent guidelines for
					 certain categories and classes of point sources, adopt appropriate effluent
					 guideline limitations for such point sources in the Wisconsin administrative
					 code.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) In this
				  section, surface waters means waters of the state, excluding
				  groundwater.
(2) When part of a
				  discharger's process wastewater is not being discharged into surface waters
				  because it is disposed into a POTW, into a land treatment system, or via land
				  application of wastewater, thereby reducing the flow or level of pollutants
				  being discharged into surface waters, applicable effluent standards and
				  limitations for the discharge in a WPDES permit shall be adjusted to reflect
				  the reduced raw waste resulting from such disposal. Effluent limitations and
				  standards in the permit shall be calculated by one of the following methods:
(a) If none of the waste from a particular
				  process is discharged into surface waters, and effluent limitations guidelines
				  provide separate allocation for wastes from that process, all allocations for
				  the process shall be eliminated from calculation of permit effluent limitations
				  or standards.
(b) In all cases
				  other than those described in par. (a) , effluent limitations shall be adjusted
				  by multiplying the effluent limitation derived by applying effluent limitation
				  guidelines to the total waste stream by the amount of wastewater flow to be
				  treated and discharged into surface waters, and dividing the result by the
				  total wastewater flow. This method is expressed algebraically as:
See PDF
					 for diagram
Where:
P is the final, adjusted permit effluent limitation,
E is the limitation derived by applying effluent guidelines
					 to the total wastestream,
N is the wastewater flow to be treated and discharged to
					 surface waters, and
T is the total wastewater flow.
(c) In addition to the adjustment in par.
				  (b), effluent limitations and standards may be further adjusted under a
				  fundamentally different factors variance under s.
				  NR
				  220.20 to make them more or less stringent if
				  discharges to POTWs or land treatment systems change the character or
				  treatability of the pollutants being discharged.
Note:
Land treatment system is defined in s.

					 214.03(24). Wells as defined in s.
					 NR
					 812.05(1) (b) are not land treatment
					 systems. Disposal of pollutants into wells is prohibited by s.

(1) The department
				  may specify effluent limitations applicable in permits for the discharge from
				  point sources:
(a) Which do not include the
				  classes or categories of point sources identified in ch. NR 220, subch.
				  I,
(b) Which belong to classes or
				  categories of point sources for which effluent limitations have not been
				  adopted in chs. NR 221 to
				  299 inclusive, or
(c) Which belong to classes or categories of
				  point sources excluded from, or not specifically included in, the applicability
				  provisions of the effluent limitations of chs. NR 221 to

Current through June 24, 2024
The purpose of this subchapter is to establish the
					 criteria and standards to be used in determining whether effluent limitations
					 alternative to those required by chs. NR 221 to 297 or by federal effluent
					 limitation guidelines should be included in a WPDES permit for a discharger
					 because factors relating to the discharger's facilities, equipment, processes,
					 or other factors related to the discharger are fundamentally different from the
					 factors considered by the department or the EPA in development of the effluent
					 limitation guidelines. This subchapter also provides expedited variance
					 procedures for fundamentally different factors variances and for other
					 variances under
					 33 USC
					 1311(c).

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL. The
				  department may adjust an effluent limitation that is based on a requirement in
				  chs. NR 221 to 297 or based on a federal effluent limitation guideline
				  established under
				  33 USC 1311
				  and
				  1314
				  on a case-by-case basis to make the limitation more or less stringent for a
				  permittee within an industrial category or subcategory. An FDFV may only be
				  approved for a limitation if data specific to the discharger indicates the
				  presence of factors fundamentally different from those considered by EPA or the
				  department in developing the limitation at issue. Any request for a variance
				  and department approval of a variance shall comply with the requirements in
				  33 USC
				  1311(n) and
				  40
				  CFR 125 subpart D.
(2) WHO MAY
				  REQUEST AN FDFV. Any interested person, including the permittee, believing that
				  the factors relating to a discharger' facilities, equipment, processes, or
				  other facilities related to the discharger are fundamentally different from the
				  factors considered during the development of the effluent limitation guidelines
				  may request an FDFV. An FDFV may also be proposed by the department in the
				  draft permit.
(3) FDFV
				  RESTRICTIONS. A fundamentally different factors variance may not be granted for
				  any new source performance standard and does not apply to the BPT limitations
				  for steam electric power generating, contained in s.
				  NR
				  290.12(1). The department may not
				  include an alternative limitation based on a fundamentally different factors
				  variance in a permit unless the EPA has approved the variance under
				  40 CFR
				  124.62.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) APPROVABLE FDFV
				  REQUESTS. A request for the establishment of effluent limitations under this
				  subchapter may be approved only if all of the following apply:
(a) There is an applicable effluent
				  limitation guideline that applies and specifically controls the pollutant for
				  which alternative effluent limitations or standards have been
				  requested.
(b) Factors relating to
				  the discharge controlled by the permit are fundamentally different, as
				  specified in sub. (4), from those considered by EPA or the department in
				  establishing effluent limitation guidelines.
(c) The request for alternative effluent
				  limitations or standards is made as part of the permit application.

				  deadline.
A written request for an alternative limitation based on a
				  fundamentally different factors variance shall be submitted no later than 180
				  days after the date on which an effluent limitation guideline is published in
				  the federal register, and any of the following apply:
1. For a variance from an effluent limitation
				  that is based on the best practicable control technology currently available
				  under
				  33 USC
				  1311(b)(1)(A) and
				  1314(b)(1),
				  the request shall be submitted by the close of the public comment period under
				  s.
				  283.39,
				  Stats.
2. For a variance from an
				  effluent limitation that is based on the best control technology available for
				  conventional pollutants under
				  33 USC
				  1311(b)(2)(E) and
				  33
				  USC 1314(b)(4), or for variances from an effluent limitation that is based on
				  the best available treatment technology economically achievable under
				  33 USC
				  1311(b)(2) and
				  33
				  USC 1314(b)(2), the request shall be submitted as part of the permit
				  application for reissuance or modification.
