ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Permittee Name: Southold (T) Fishers Island WWTF
SPDES Permit Number: NY0199214
In addition to completing the Application Form NY-2A, please provide the information requested by the checked
box(es).
[] EFFLUENT SAMPLING - Complete the following sampling for the indicated ouffalls, in addition to routine sampling
for those parameters believed present in the discharges from your facility (One 24 hour composite except for
parameters where proper sample collection/preservation techniques require grab). Sampling and analysis must
comply with the RECORDING, REPORTING AND ADDITIONAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS page of your
permit. Note that additional sampling may be required as directed by the application form.
Outfall Numbers
SamplinqRequired No outfalls, septic system only.
Conventionals*
13 Priority Pollutant Metals, Total Cyanide and Total Phenols**
Volatiles (EPA Method 624)
Acid Compounds (EPA Method 625)
Base Neutral (EPA Method 625)
Pesticides/PCB (EPA Method 608)
Whole Effluent Toxicity - Chronic Testing***
* - Conventional parameters which must be sampled for include: BOD5, COD, Dissolved Oxygen, TSS, TDS,
Settleable Solids, Oil & Grease, Total Organic Nitrogen, Ammonia (N), Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Phosphorus, Flow Rate,
Temperature, pH, Hardness (as CaCO3), Total Residual Chlorine, Fecal Coliform, and, Total Coliform.
** - Mercury analysis must be performed using EPA Method 1631. Other metals shall be analyzed using EPA
Method 200.7. Analysis shall be for the "Total" form of metals.
*** - Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing:
Testing Requirements - One chronic WET test shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and TOGS
1.3.2 unless prior writtan approval has been obtained from the Department. The test species shall be Ceriodaphnia
dubia(waterflea-invertebrete)andPimephalespromelas(fatheadminnow-vertebrate). Receiving water collected
upstream from the discharge should be used for dilution. The test conducted should be static-renewal consisting of
three 24 hr composite samples with two renewals. The appropriate dilution series bracketing the IWC and including
one exposure group of 100% effluent should be used to generate a definitive test endpoint, otherwise an immediate
rerun of the test is required. WET testing shall be coordinated with the other required monitoring of chemical and
physical parameters so that the resulting analyses are also representative of the sample used for WET testing. The
ratio of critical receiving water flow to discharge flow (i.e. dilution ratio) is __.:1 for chronic. Discharges which
are disinfected using chlorine should be dechlorinated prior to WET testing or samples shall be taken immediately
prior to the chlorination system.
Reporting - Toxicity Units shall be calculated and reported as follows: TUa = (100)/(48 hr LC50) or (100)/(48 hr
ECS0) (note that Acute data is generated during Chronic testing) and TUc = (100)/(NOEC, where the 48 hr LC50
or 48 hr EC50 and NOEC are expressed in % effluent. This must be done for both species and using the Most
Sensitive Endpoint (MSE) or the lowest NOEC and corresponding highest TUc. Report a TUa of 0.3 if there is no
statistically significant toxicity in 100% effluent as compared to control.
The complete test report including all corresponding results, statistical analyses, reference toxicity data, daily average
flow at the time of sampling and other appropriate supporting documentation, shall be submitted within 60 days to
Page 1 of 2
,the Toxicity Testing Unit. A summary page of the test results for the invertebrate and vertebrate species indicating
TUa, 48 hr LC50 or 48 hr EC50 andTUc, NOEC, IC25, and most sensitive endpoints, should also be included at the
beginning of the test report.
APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT A: This form requests detailed production information from specific industries for
development of production based effluent limits. Based upon your facility's operations and industrial code, the
following Application Supplements are included in this package:
[] STORMWATER DISCHARGES FROM POTVVs: Municipal wastewater treatment plants with design flows of 1 MGD
or more, or facilities that are required to have an EPA-approved pretreatment program, are subject to SPDES
permitting for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. Many facilities have obtained coverage for
stormwater discharges through the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial
Activity. The Depadment has determined that it is appropriate to include these stormwater discharges in the
individual SPDES permit for this facility rather than requiring coverage under two separate SPDES permits. Submit
a description of any stormwater ouffalls that runoff from the site to surface water or to a separate storm sewer
system, including latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes, seconds), receiving water, and classification of receiving
water.
Sampling of each stormwater ouffali must be conducted for conventional parameters and any toxic parameters that
are exposed to stormwater at the facility. A grab sample of stormwater must be collected during the first 30 minutes
of discharge from a storm of at least 0.1 inches of accumulation which has been preceded by at least 72 hours of
dry weather. If applicable, termination of the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with
Industrial Activity would occur upon issuance of the individual SPDES permit modification/renewal which includes
stormwater discharge outfalls.
[] INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER: Storr~water discharges associated with industrial activity defined in federal
regulations 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i-ix & xi) are subject to SPDES permitting. The Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) code for your facility is included in this definition. The Department has determined that it is appropriate to
address any stormwater discharges from areas of industrial activity in the individual SPDES permit for this facility.
Your industrial application Form NY-2C must include outfall information for any stormwater discharge outfalls from
this facility.
Sampling of each stormwater outfall must be conducted for conventional parameters and
· A grab sample of stormwater must be collected during the first 30 minutes of discharge
from a storm of at least 0.1 inches of accumulation which has been preceded by at least 72 hours of dry weather.
If applicable, termination of the SPD ES General Perm it for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity
would occur upon issuance of the individual SPDES permit modification/renewal which includes stormwater
discharge ouffalls.
[] PUMP STATION EMERGENCY OVERFLOWS: Submit a description of any emergency pump station outfalls, not
already listed in the permit, that discharge to surface water including latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes,
seconds), receiving water, and classification of receiving water. Also include frequency (occurrences/month) and
average duration of discharge (hours).

(From: SPDES General Conditions (Part II) dated 11/90)
10.1 GENERAL
a. The permittee shall comply with all recording, reporting, monitoring and sampling requirements specified in this
permit and such other additional terms, provisions, requirements or conditions that the Department may deem
to be reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes of the Environmental Conservation Law, Articte 17, the Act,
or rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
b. Samples and measurements taken to meet the monitoring requirements specified in this permit shall be
representative ofthe quantity and character ofthe monitored discharges. Composite samples shall be composed
of a minimum of 8 grab samples, collected over the specified collection period, either at a constantsampie volume
for a constantflow interval or at a flow-proportioned sample volume for a constanttime interval, unless otherwise
specified in Part I of this permit. For GC/MS Volatile Organic Analysis (VOA), aliquots must be combined in the
laboratory immediately before analysis. At least 4 (rather than 8 ) aliquots or grab samples should be collected
over the specified collection period. Grab sample means a single sample, taken over a period not exceeding 15
minutes.
c. Accessable sampling locations must be provided and maintained. New sampling locations shall be provided if
existing locations are deemed unsuitable by the Department or its designated field agency.
d. Actual measured values of all positive analytical results obtained above the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL)~
for all monitored parameters shall be recorded and reported, as required bythis permit; except, where parameters
are limited in this permitto values below the PQL, actual measured values for all positive analytical results above
the Method Detection Limit (MDL)2 shall be reported.
e. The permittee shall periodically calibrate and perform manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures
on all monitoring and analytical instrumentation to insure accuracyof measurements. Verification of maintenance
shall be logged into the daily record book(s) of the facility. The permittee shall notify the Department's regional
office immediately if any required instrumentation becomes inoperable. In addition, the permittee shall verify the
accuracy of their measuring equipment to the Department's Regional Office annually.
f. The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any
monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit, shall upon conviction, be punished by
a fine of not more than $10,000, or by imprisonment for not more than 2 years per violation or by both. If a
conviction of such person is fora violation committed after a first convicfion of such person underthis paragraph,
punishment shall be a fine of not more than $20,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 4
years, or by both.
Practical Ouanfitation Limit (PQL) is the lowest level that can be measured within specified limits of precision and accuracy
dudng routine [aboratory operations on most effluent matrices.
Method Detection Limit (MDL) is the level at which the analytical procedure referenced is capable of determining with a 99%
probability that the substance is present. This value is determined in distilled water with no interfedng substances present;
The precision at this level is +/- 100%.

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)
Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy (EBPS}
OVERVI~
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Division of Water (DOw), in accordance with
Section 17-0817 of the Environmental Conservation Law and the reqff~rements in 6NYCRR Part 750-1.19 to develop a Modification
Priority Ranking System, has adopted the Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy (EBPS). This system establishes procedures to
alleviate the backlog of State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(SPDES) permit renewal applications in a manner that prioritizes
permits based upon their potential or actual impact to the environment.
Background
The 1972 Clean Water Act requires SPDES perrnit renewals every five years. In New York State, the renewal process
originally included DEC administrative and technical review plus public notification and review of the draft permit. It typically took
about a year to complete this process and renew a permit. Modification of a permit could be initiated sooner than five years to
accommodate changes in regulation or changes in the operating procedure of the permitter. This system worked well for a while, but,
as time went on, the permits became more numerous and more complex while staffing levels fell. The DOW began to accumulate a
backlog of permit renewals. As a result, some permits that sorely needed to be modified to protect the waters of the state had to wait
their turn, sometimes for years, for review. Other permits that needed only administrative renewal, not technical modifications, were
being subjected to the same rigorous technical review as those requiring major modifications.
The DOW had to fred a better, more environmentally responsive and efficient way to manage the workload. EBPS was
developed to focus stafffirne on full technical review of the most deficient permits (in terms of enviroumental need and the need to
better reflect current standards and regulations in the permi0, with the results being better protection for the enviromnant and an
elinfmation of the backlog.
How EBPS Works
The DOW uses thc EBPS system to manage the workload of renewing existing SPDES permits. This strategy represents a
shift from a full technical review of permits in chronological order, as they expire, to one of establishing priorities for reviewing
permits based on the environmental benefit that will be gained by modifying the permit. Modifications are any technical changes that
need to be made to the permit. They can be initiated by the permittee or be DEC-initiated under EBPS. They can occur because of
a change in regulations, a change in the operation of the facility or a compliance problem.
The EBPS system has four parts:
I. New penasits and permitter-requested modifications will be processed in accordance with the Uniform Procedures Act
(UPA) time frames listed in 6NYCRR Part 621.
2. Administrative renewals of all permits are processed using a short form filed prior to permit expiration.
3. Full technical review, to determine if a permit needs modification, will be performed by the DOW technical staff in
priority order based on the EBPS ranking system.
4. P~a~ement~ntheN~Adntinis~rativeRenewalList(NARL)f~rcertaintypes~fpennits(CS~s~SS~s~p~werplants~et~.)
for which administtative renewals without full technical review are not allowed.
EBPS Ranking Procedures
A permit will receive a numerical score for each of 14 factors as listed in Table 1 below, as they apply to that particular
permit, using a SPDES PRIORITY RANKiNG WORK SHEET for doing the scoring (see Attachment 1). For instance, ifa permit
needs to be modified due to a consent order or permit compliance issue, it gets l0 points. If it is a permit for an existing facility
that needs to be adjusted for a parameter covered by new EPA Technology Regulations, it gets 5 points. In addition, a companion
document entitled Guidance For Use Of Permit Priority Ranking Factors (see Attaehment 2) is used to assist with the evaluation
of the ranking factors.
Page 1 of 7
E~/ch individual factor value is multiplied by one of the three Water Quality Enhancement Multipliers listed in Table 2 that describe
the general environmental benefit of modifying the permit to address that factor:
1. The modification will eliminate a water quality standards violation, a water use impairment or, correct other serious
environmental problems = 10.
2. The modification will significantly reduce but nnt eliminate a water qnnlity standards violation, water use impairment
or serious environmental pmblem = 5.
3. The modification will have little or no effect on a water quality standards violation, water use impairment or serious
environmental problem -- 1.
The products of these multiplications are summed. A longevity score, based on the length of t/rue that has passed since
the permittee filed a long form SPDES application (including effluent monitoring data) is added. This final score establishes the
priority of the permit, a higher score indicating higher priority.
Any DOW staff or member of the public can request the SPDES PRIORITY RANKING WORKSHEET for a permit and
contribute information to the ranking process. All returned worksheets will be reviewed by staff from the DOW Bureau of Water
Permits, and scores adjusted as necessary.
The above process can be summarized with the following formulas:
Factor Score = [Factor Value per Priority Ranking Factor] x [Environmental Multiplierl
Longevity Score = [5 (Major) or 3 (Non-Major)[ x [No. years since filing a Long Form Application]
Total Work Sheet Priority Score = ~ Factor Scores + Longevity Score
Total Permit Priority Score = ~ Non-Overlapping Work Sheet Scores
EBPS Priority Ranking List and Public Notice
The EBPS system requires the Department to publish the EBPS Priority Ranking List for public notice on an annual basis.
The ptmpose of the list is to give the public an opportunity to comment on the suitability of a priority ranking score and to
provide additional information that may affect a change to a permit's score.
The EBPS Priority Ranking List shows the priority ranking scores, indicating which permits are due for full application
submittal by the permittee, full technical review by the DOW, and Department-initiated modification of the SPDES permit
when warranted. The higher the Total Worksheet Priority Score, the higher the priority for full technical review and
modification. The List is formulated by developing separate sub-lists for Central Office permits and permits originating in
each Regional Office, for a total often sub-lists to be combined into one EBPS Priority Ranking List for publication. When
the List is finalized, it is published annually in the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB) in April of each year.
Who Benefits?
The environment: The process has augmented DOW's ability to improve water quality by directing staff resources to pernuts
with the greatest potential environmental benefits.
The Agency: DOW is able to set priorities and manage its workload more efficiently.
The Applicant: - The new process should decrease the time, paperwork and cost of permit renewals. Facilities will be less
likely to be operating under an expired permit.
The Public: Under the EBPS, private citizens, as well as professionals, can participate in determining the priority rank of
a perm/t.

INew York State has developed a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Strategy in conformance with USEPA Clean Water Act program
guidance. Tins strategy calls for the State to maPlement a series of CSO controls through the mechanism of specific SPDES permit
conditions. An example oft "primary" CSO requirement would be the submission ora Facility Plan to control or eliminate CSOs
known to be contributing to a water quality problem. An example oft "secondary" CSO requirement would be updating the language
in a SPDES permit to conform to the '~qo dry weather discharge" element of the State CSO Stxategy.
2The facility has been identified as subject to a Department initiative such as multimedia permitting, watershed TMDL
implementation, or Discharge Notification Act requirements. An example of a "primary" initiative would be a significant modification
necessary to address a Department or Departmant accepted EPA initiative, such as a TMDL for a parameter whose limit exceeds the
basin's allocation. An example of a "secondary" initiative would be a minor change needed to address a Department or Department
accepted EPA initiative regarding watershed TMDL implementation, multimedia permitting, DNA, etc.
3Some elements of the Federal Industrial Pretreatment regulations are imposed by inserting specific requirements into municipal
SPDES permits. An example of a prmm-y pretreatment modification would be the insertion of mare pretreatment program
language into a municipal SPDES permit in order to resolve a significant negative impact on the STP from industrial indirect
discharges. An example of a "secondary" pretrealment modification might be changes in the permit language to conform to federal
regulations but winch would not resolve any significant problems at the POTW or in the sewer system.
4The Federal CWA requires Best Management Practice (BMP) plans for all induslxies which have SPDES permits and wh/ch have a
potential for toxic contamination of storm water by "industrial activity." Modification oft SPDES permit for a BMP would be of
"primary" importance if, for example, the storm water discharges from the industry were known to contain PCBs. The modification
would be of"secondary" importance if the addition of the BMP was a regulatory requirement but was not presently associated with any
toxic discharge from the penmtted site.
5aThe permit in question has been identified as potentially needing an effluent limit for a Bioaceumulati~e/Persistent Toxic Substance.
See Attachment 5 for th9 list of substances.
5bThe permit is identified as needing to be modified to add or change an important effluent parameter because: the receiving water
body has been formally reclassified (not just proposed for reclassification) to a higher water quality standard; or a new water quality
standard or guidance value has been published for a parameter in the effluent; or a new substance has been identified in the effluent
which is important to the achievement of best usage or a water quality standard in the receiving water body.
5cThe permit needs to be modified to add or change another parameter such as a water treatment chemical, pH, temperature, or
suspended solids limit or action level, that has a very low probability of causing a water quality problem.
6aPermit needs to be modified to add or change an effluent limit parameter that is incorporated in a newly promulgated USEPA
wastewater treatment technology regulation for Best Available Treatment Technology Economically Achievable (BAT), Best
Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT), or New Source Performance Standards.
6bA permit drafting engineer concludes that an effluent parameter needs to be added or changed based on a reevaluation of Best
Professional Judgement (BP J) treatment technology.
7The permit in question needs to be modified in order to resolve an issue of permit non-compliance or to ensure consistency between
the permit and a court order or negotiated consent order. Examples include: a permittee that cannot verify compliance with a permit
limit that proves to be lower than the effluent specific lab detectability limit; or a permittee that builds a BPJ trea~aent system to
achieve a BPJ' effluent limit (not an effluent limit based on water quality) only to fred that the system cannot achieve the permit limit
despite effective operation.
8As required by the Federal Clean Water Act, USEPA and New York State am proceeding with initiatives which in the near future
could trigger Antidegradation evaluations for facilities with an existing SPDES permit which: propose facility expansions which would
result in increased discharges of pollutants; or presently have permit authorization to discharge toxics which exceed present day actual
discharges of those toxics. (The Great Lakes Toxic Initiative is the most highly developed initiative at this time.) This priority
evaluation factor will only be utilized when these initiatives are finalized and implemented.

GUIDANCE FOR USE OF PERMIT PRIORITY RANKING FACTORS
Factor No.
9Under Section 304(1) of the FederaI Clean Water Act, the USEPA is obligated to list specific discharges which must be upgraded
with Individual Control Strategies (ICS) to further contxol toxic releases. This factor will be associated with SPDES permits which
must be modified because they are listed in the 304(1) list and require an ICS (ICS is synonymous with SPDES/NPDES permits).
10The State Revolving Fund (SKF) list identified projects winch have applied for and are eligible for State & Federal loans to build
needed sewerage and sewage treatment systems. This priority factor will be used for municipal permittees that are on the SRF list.
11The permit in question should be modified to incorporate a requirement for whole effluent biological toxicity testing in conformance
with the Deparlment's's policy,
I2The Department has received substantive public interest in the facility's discharge.
13The permit is associated with a major electric generating power plant and the permit needs modification to incorporate typical
requirements for studies or control measures related to fish impingement or aquatic endangerment.
14The longevity score is based upon the date of that the last full SPDES permit application with comprehensive effluent sampling was
received. This may differ from the date that the permit was renewed. Minor modification requests are not counted when determining
the longevity score.
