Current through June 24, 2024
The following definitions apply to the terms used in this
					 subchapter:
(2) "Within the
				  impoundment," for purposes of calculating the volume of process wastewater
				  which may be discharged, means the following:
(a) For all impoundments constructed prior to
				  April 23, 1984, "within the impoundment" means the water surface area within
				  the impoundment at the maximum capacity plus the surface area of the inside and
				  outside slopes of the impoundment dam and the surface area between the outside
				  edge of the impoundment dam and any seepage ditch immediately adjacent to the
				  dam upon which rain falls and is returned to the impoundment, but the surface
				  area allowance for external appurtenances to the impoundment shall not be more
				  than 30% of the water surface area within the impoundment dam at maximum
				  capacity.
(b) For all impoundments
				  constructed on or after April 23, 1984, "within the impoundment" means the
				  water surface area within the impoundment at the maximum capacity.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) Except as provided in
				  40 CFR 125.30
				  to
				  125.32 and
				  subs. (2) and (3), any existing point source subject to this subchapter may not
				  discharge process wastewater pollutants to waters of the state.
(2) A process wastewater impoundment which is
				  designed, constructed and operated to contain the precipitation from the
				  10-year, 24-hour rainfall event as established for the impoundment's location
				  by the national climatic center, national oceanic and atmospheric
				  administration, may discharge a volume of process wastewater equivalent to the
				  volume of precipitation which falls within the impoundment in excess of the
				  precipitation attributable to the 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event, when such an
				  event occurs.
(3) During any
				  calendar month, a process wastewater impoundment may discharge from the
				  overflow a volume equivalent to whatever is the greatest of the following:
(a) The difference between the precipitation
				  for that month which falls within the impoundment and the evaporation from the
				  impoundment for that month; or
(b)
				  The difference between the mean precipitation for that month which falls within
				  the impoundment and the mean evaporation for that month as established for the
				  impoundment's location by the national climatic center, national oceanic and
				  atmospheric administration or as otherwise established if no monthly
				  evaporation has been determined by the national climatic center.
(c) Any process wastewater discharge
				  according to this subsection shall comply with the following limitations:

(2) A process wastewater impoundment which is

				  25-year, 24-hour rainfall event as established for the impoundment's location
				  by the national climatic center, national oceanic and atmospheric
				  administration, may discharge a volume of process wastewater equivalent to the
