ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 01/03/2007

The applicant proposes a proposed discharge of up to 10,120 gallons per day of treated sanitary wastewater to groundwater from eight conventional domestic on-site wastewater treatment systems (septic tank/leach field).  The applicant plans to construct a cottage colony, consisting of 25 four-bedroom housekeeping cottages, an office building, with parking, lighting, and access road.

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.
