DTC Project No. 07-1 17-300
Dear Supervisor Russell:
Dr. Murali Atluru, P.E. and I reviewed the certification preparation during March. It was also discussed
with Attorney Louisa Evans of the Fishers Island Sewer District. At that time, it was the opinion that
since the Fishers Island wastewater disposal system is a septic system, the flows only are applicable.
They were shown in the cover letter (see March 21, 2007 letter enclosed).
We have entered the flow information on the form.
The appropriate person should sign the enclosed form and send this form to Mr. Koon S. Tang, P.E. (see
his letter enclosed).
If there are any questions, please call me.

ANNUAL CERTIF1CATION FORM
INSTRUCTIONS
Please complete the attached form in accordance with the instructions below. If you have any questions regarding the infonnation to
be submitted or the calculations required for this form, please contact your regional Division of Water SPDES contact or Regional
Water Manager at the address and phone number listed on the RECORDING, REPORTING AND MONITORING page of your
Permit.
1. FLOW - Comnare the annual avera!!e flow to the flow limit in the nermit:
All flow calculations must be made based on total flow. For plants with one monthlv avera!!e flow limit. calculate the average annual
flow by averaging the 12 monthly average flows reported on your monthly DMRs for calendar year 2006. For plants with annual
avera!!e flow limits or rollin!! 12 month avera!!e limits. use the annual average flow calculated for the calendar year.
For plants with seasonal flow limits, calculate the average flow for each of the seasonal flow limits based on the data collected during
calendar year 2006. For example, if your facility has seasonal limits that apprly from May through October, Season I would be the
average flow from May though October, while Season 2 would be the average flow from January through April and November though
December. The dates used for the seasonal flow rate calculations should be included on the form in the space provided. If either of the
seasonal calculations exceed 95% of the design flow, the "Yes" box must be checked.
The design flow of the treatment plant shall be in accordance with that listed in the most recent design documents or treatment plant
rating submitted to and approved by this Department.
The requirements for the flow management plan contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(I) are attached for your reference.
2. PLANNING: Comnare the desi!!n BOD and TSS influent loadin!!s to the actual BOD and TSS loadin!!s:
The design influent loadings are not included on your preprinted DMR. These numbers iDay be found in your plant's engineering
design documents, O&M plans, or in more recent engineering reports if your treatment plant has had a recent upgrade. Use the most
recent design loading data available for purposes of this calculation. If you cannot locate your plant's design influent loading criteria,
please contact your plant engineer. .
If your plant uses Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) as a measure of treatment system performance, use BOD loadings in these
calculations. If your plant uses CBOD as a measure of treatment system performance, use CBOD loadings in these calculations.
To calculate the actual influent loadings in Ibs/day, facilities that perform daily sampling should multiply the average monthly
concentration on the DMR (in mg/l) by the average monthly flow (in MGD) and a conversion factor of8.34. For facilities with less
than daily sampling, i.e., monthly, weekly, etc., the daily flow from the POTW on the date that the sample was collected shall be used
to determirie the loading. These individual daily loadings should be averaged for the monthly actual influent loading.
If either of the seasonal calculations exceed the design loading, the "Yes" box must be checked. Should the actual influent loading for
either BOD (or CBOD) or TSS exceed the design influent loading, you may include an explanation for these exceedances. The written
explanation should be attached to and submitted with the Annual Certification Form.
The requirements for the plan for future growth contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(2) are attached for your reference.
3. IMPLEMENTATION AND SEWER CONNECTION MORATORIUM:
Review your facility's DMRs to determine whether the discharge from the POTW has exceeded a SPDES permit emuent limit for
BOD, CBOD, Ultimate Oxygen Demand (including 28 day BOD), or Total Suspended Solids for any four or more months during two
consecutive calendar quarters during 2006. If you answered "Yes" to this question, an inunediate moratorium on additional sewer
connections shall be imposed and the approval of sewer connections to the POTW must cease inunediately. The requirements for the
sewer connection moratorium contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(3) are attached for your reference.
CERTIFICATION STATEMENT:
This form must be signed by the municipality's chief fiscal officer, such as the mayor, comptroller, treasurer, city manager or chief
fmancial officer. This person may differ from the person who signs the facility's DMR.
SUBMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Please submit copies of this form by March 28. 2007 to the NYSDEC Bureau of Water Compliance, SPDES Compliance Infonnation
Section, 625 Broadway, Albany NY 12233-3506 and the Regional Water Manager at the address listed on the attached table.
Part 750 -2.9
(c) POTW DESIGN, PLANNING AND FLOW MANAGEMENT
(1) Flow Management Plan
(i) Within 120 days of when the permittee 4etermines in accordance with paragraph 4 of this subdivision that the annual average flow value
for a calendar year to a POTW has reached or exceeded 95 percent of that POTW' s design flow, the pemrittee shall submit to the Regional
Water Engineer a flow management plan to identify and implement reductions in hydraulic loading to the POTW treatment plant or failing
that, approvable engineering reports, plans and specifications and/or capital improvements as necessary to stabilize annual average flows
below the POTW treatrnentplant design flow. This plan shall be certified by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of New
York and endorsed by the chief fiscal officer of the municipality. The provisions of the plan may reflect new efforts or may refer to existing,
ongoing efforts. The flow management plan shall, at a minimum, include provisions for:
(a) A statement to the effect that the pemrittee has the authority in all parts of the POTW service area to implement or cause to be
implemented the provisions of this subdivision or, if the permittee does not have such authority, a proposed schedule, not to exceed
three years, to obtain such authority or a statement from the permittee's designated legal representative that existing law precludes
the permittee from obtaining such authority;
(b) An inventory of all known facilities/projects that have applied to connect to the sewer system and a determination if there is
capacity for connection;
( c) A. sche4ule of implementation for all flow reduction measures identified herein;
(d) A map delineating the service area as defined; and
(e) A description ofinforrnationthat will be reported during implementation of the plan to the Regional Water Engineer an4 a
schedule for such reporting.
(ii) The flow management plan require4 by subparagraph (i) of this paragraph shall also incluoo provisions for implementation of any or
all of the following that are necessary to stabilize inf1ueni flows below design flows:
( a) Water conservation measures to reduce customer usage by measures including but not limited to custo= metering, meter
calibration, retrofitting existing plumbing fixtores with water conservation fixtures and revision of water rate structures;
(b) Reduction of infiltration and inflow throughcontihuous measures including but not limited to sewer system metering, evaluation
and rehabilitation, removal of roof leaders and footing drains from separate sanitary sewers and installation of separate storm
sewers;
(c) Prevention of future sources of infi1tration and inflo~ where feasible through measures including but not limited to
implementation of standards for sewer installation and requirements to provide for adequate drainage fromroofleaders and footing
drains in new construction;
(d) Measures to maximize sewer system and sewage treatment works capacity at a minimurncost; and/or
(e) Approvable engineering reports and/or plans and specifications to assure annual average flows do not exceed 95 percent of the

RE: POTW Design, Planning and Flow Management Annual Certification
Fishers Island Sewer WWTF NYO 199214
DTC Project No. 07-117-300
Dear Supervisor Russell:
Dr. Murali AtllDU, P.E., and I have reviewed the enclosed certification form appears to apply to standard secondary
and tertiary wastewater treatment plants which outfall into water bodies.
The Fishers Island wastewater system is a large septic system. The capacity is 20,000 gallons per day. The septic
tanks are conservatively oversized at 30,000 gallons. The leaching field is conservatively designed.
The septic tanks remove constituents prior to the leaching fields. The system provides tertiary treatment The
system serves residences only. No industrial waste is allowed nor discharged into the system.
The two present discharge monitoring requirements are annual flow monitoring and sludge disposal, when the
system sludge accumulates to the point it could harm the system.
The wastewater flows and sludge depths have been reported to the N.Y.D.E.C. annually for 22 years.
The annual average flow estimate based upon flow monitoring is estimated to be 0.011 MGD. The design is .020
MGD and 95% of the design flow is .019 MGD. Based upon this information, the flow is well below the capacity of
the treatment system.
The septic system does not have a surface discharge. Therefore, it does not have BOD, CBOD nor total suspended
solids requirements.
Because of the small number of users, monitoring these constituents would be cost prohibitive. Based upon the
above system characteristics, we think the enclosed form is not applicable to the Fishers Island septic system.
If any more information about this system is needed, we are prepared to provide it
Sincerely,

be submitted or the calculations required for this form, please contact your regional Division of Water SPDES contaCt or Regional
Watr;r Manager at the address and phone number listed on the RECORDING, REPORTING AND MONITORING page of your
'Permit. .
1. FL?W -Comnare the annnal avera!!:eflow to the flow limit in the oermit:
. All flow caIculatiODS must be made based on total flow. For plants with one monthlv avera2e flow limit. calculate the average annuaI
flow by averaging 1j!e.12 moDtbly average flows reported on 'your monthly DMRs for ca)""~"T year 2006. For plants with llIlDIIaI
averal!e flow limits or ro1lin2 12 month avera2e limits. lISe the ammaI average flow calc:wated for the calendar year.
For plants with seaSonal flow limits. calculate the average flow for each of the seasonal flow limits based on the data coll~ during
~cl1dar year 2006. For example, if your facility has seasonal limits that' apprly from May tlJrough October, Season 1 wowd be the
aVerage flow from May though October, while Season 2 woWd be the average flow from January through Aprillllid November though
December. The dates used for the seasonal flow rate .caIculations showd be included on the form in the space provided. If either of the
seasomI caIculations exceed 95% of the design flow, the "Yea" box must be checked.
~ design flow of the treatment plaDt shall be in accordance with that listed in the most recent design documents or treatment plant
rating BDbmitted to and approved by this Department. .
The requirements for the flow management plan contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(I) are attached for your reference.

1. PLANNlNG: Comnare the desim BOD and TSS inflnent 10adinl!S to the actual BOD and TSS 10adinl!S:
. The'des1P intluem lOadings are not included on your preprinted DMR. TheSe numbers may be found in your plant's engineering
design documents, O&M plans, or in more recent engineering reports if your treatment plant has had a recent upgrade. Use the most
recent design loading data available for purposes of this caleu1ation. If you cannot locate your plant's design influent loading c:riter:ia,
please contaCt your plant engineer. .
If your plant uses BiochemicaI Oxygen Demand (BOD) as a measure of treatment system performance, use BOD loadings in these
calculations. If yourplant uses CBOD as a measure of treatment system perfonnance, use CBOD 10aOings in these calc:u1ati.ons.
To ca1cu1ate the actual influent loadings in lbslday, facilities that perform daily sampling should mnltiply the average monthly
concentration on the DMR (in mgIl) by the average monthly flow (in MOO) and a conversion factor of 8.34. For facilities with less
than daily sampling, i.e., moDtbly, weekly, etc., the daily flow from the POTW on 1he date that the sample was collected shall be used
to determi:ne the loading. These individual daily loadings showd be averaged for the monthly actual influent loading. '
If either of the seasonal calculations exceed the design loading; the "Yes" box must be checW Showd the actuaI influent loading for
ei~ BOD (or CBOD) or TSS exceed the design influent loading, you may include an explanation for these exceedances. The written
explanalion should be attached to and submitted with the AlmuaI Certification Form.
. The requirements for the plan for future growth contained in 6 NYCRR .Part 750-2.9(cX2) are attached for your reference.
3. IMPLEMENTATION AND SEWER CONNECTION MORATORI1JM:
Review your faCilitY's DMRs to determine whether the discharge from the POTW has exceeded a SPDES peimit effluent limit for
BOD, CBOD, Ultimate Oxygen Demand (including 28 day BOD), or Total Suspended Solids for any four or more months during two
. consecutive calendar quarters during 2006. If you answered "Yes" to this question, an immediate moratorium on additional sewer
connections shall be imposed aDd the approval of sewer connections to the POTW must cease immediately. The requirements for the
sewer COlIDectiori moratorium contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(cX3) are attached for your reference.
CERTIFICATION STATEMENT:
This form must be signed by the municipality's chief fiscal officer, such as the mayor, comptroller, treasurer, city manager or chief
financial officer. This peI1'on may differ from the person who signs the facility's DMR.
SUBMITTAL lNSTRUCTIONS:
Please BDbmit copies of this form by March 18. 1007 to the NYSDEC Bureau of Water Compliance, SPDES Complisnce Information
Section, 625 Broadway, Albany NY 12233-3506 and the Regional Water Manager a) the address listed on the attached table.
(c) PO'fW DESIGN, pLANNING AND FLOW MANAGEMENT
(1) Flow Management Plan
(i) Witlrin 120 days ofwl:;en the p=ittee deterniines in accordance with paragraph 4 of this subdivision that the annual average flow value
for a caI~ndar year to a potw bas reached or exceeded 9S percent oftha! POTW' s design flow, the permittee shall submit to the Regional
,Water Engineer a flow management plan to identify and implement redUctions in hydraulic loading to the POYW treatment plant or failing
. that, approvable engineering reports, plans and specifications and/or capital improvements as necessary to stabilize annual average flowS
below the POYW treatment plant design flow. This plm shall be certified by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of.
New York and endorsed by the cbief fisca\ officer of the Dl!lIlicipality. The provisions of the plan may reflect new efforts or may refer to .
existing, ongobig efforts. The flow management plan shall, at a m;n;,nnm. include provisiol;lS for: . .
(a) A st:atemenl to the effect that the permittee bas the authority in all parts of the POTW service area to implement or cause to be
impleJT1""lP.d the provisions of this subdivision or, if the permittee does not have such anthority, a proposed schedule, not to exceed
three years, to obtain such authority or a statement from the permittee's designated legal representative that existing law precludes the
p=ittee from obtaining such authority;

for connection; .
(c) A schedule of implementation for all flow reduction measures identified herein;
(d) A map delineating the servicc.area as defined; and
(e) A description of information that will be reported dnring iml?lementation of the plan to the Regional Water Engineer and a schedule
for sucl1 reporting.
(n) The flow management plan required by Subparagraph (i) of this paragraph shall also include provisions for implementation of any or
all of the following that are necessary to stabilize influeD1 flows below design flows: .

calibration, retrofittiilg existing plumbing fixtures with water conservation fixtures and revision of water rate structures; .
(b) Reduction of infiltration and inflow through continuOus measures including but not limited to sewer system metering, evaluation
and rehabilitation, removal of roofleaders and footing drains from separate sanitary sewers and installation of separate storm sewers;
(c) Prevention offirture sources ofinfiltraticin and inflow'Wbere feasible through measures including but not limited to implementation
of standards for sewer installation and requirements to provide for adequate drainage fromroofleaders and footing drains in new
construction;
(d) Measures to maximize sewer system and sewage treatment works capacitY at a mln;mnm cost; and/or
(e) Approvable engineering.reports and/or plans and specifications to assure anmxal average flows do not exceed 9S percent of the
. POTW treatment plant design flow.
