| Permit(s) Applied for: |
Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Industrial SPDES |
|
| Project is Located: | Santa Clara, Franklin County | |
|
Project Description: The
applicant proposes to continue discharging up to 3.6 million gallons per day (MGD) of
treated process wastewater to Little Clear Pond Outlet, a Class AA(T) waterbody, from the
Adirondack Fish Culture Station (aka Adirondack Hatchery) located at 103 Hatchery Road in the
Town of Santa Clara, Franklin County. The applicant proposes to modify the wastewater
treatment system at the hatchery by installing approximately 50 lineal feet of 18 inch diameter
ductile iron pipe and a valve box to connect two portions of the existing waste settling areas. The
new piping connection will allow the east clarifier and polishing ponds to be drained and cleaned
more rapidly and efficiently than present conditions allow, improving the overall cleaning
operation of that section, which is performed 10-12 times per year as part of ongoing efforts to
minimize the discharge of phosphorous. As part of this permit modification process the
Department has also made certain minor changes to the permit which include an address update
to reflect recent 911 street address assignments, correction of coordinates for the location of
Outfall 001 and inclusion of a condition requiring installation of a discharge notification sign at
the outfall location (already accomplished) to ensure compliance with the Discharge Notification
Act.
The
Department has made a tentative determination to issue a permit for a State Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation law.
This tentative determination indicates that the discharge regulated under this statute is considered
to satisfy regulatory standards for permit issuance, based on information available to the
Department at this time. As a tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the
proposed regulated activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance. As such, this
tentative determination does not signify Department approval for or endorsement of the activity
for which a permit is sought or for the overall proposed project. Refer to this application by
application number listed above and SPDES number NY-003 5335.
