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.

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 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; (b) An inventory ofaIl known facilitieslprojects that have applied to connect to the sewer system and a determination if there is. capacity 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: . (a) Water conservation measures to reduce customer usage by measureS including but not limited to customer metering, meter 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. (1) Capital improvements necessary to assure anDJJal average flows do not exceed 9S percent ofthePOYW.treatmcDtplant design flow. (ili) Within 90 days of sclmnttaI to the Regional Water Engineer of the plan required UDder subparagraphs (i) and (n) of this paragraph, the pt;uui= shall begin to implement the provisions of said program in aCcordance with the proposed schedule or cause the provisions of said program to be implemented by another party. (iv).The R.e~onal Water Engineer may object to the plan, or implementation of the plan, submitted in accordalice with subparagraph (i) and (n) of this paragraph if the plan does not provide for substantive and effecti~e measures to reduce hydraulic loading to the porN. Within 90 days of receipt of written notification from the Regional Water Engineer docnm""m,g the aspects of the plan that must be revised, the permittee shall submit a revised plan that addresses the department's objection(s).
