If you have questions regarding the informat/on or calculations required to complete this form, please contact the Regional Water Engineer at the NYSDEC regional office listed below or identified on the RECORDING, REPORTING AND MONITORING page of your SPDES Permit. Section 1 - Flow: Compare the annual average flow to the flow limit in the permit: All flow calculations must be based on totni flow. For wastewater ~'eatment facilities (WWTF) with one monthlv average flow limit, calculate the average annual flow by averaging the 12 monthly average flows reported on the monthly DMRs for calendar year 2011. For WWTFs monitoring quarterly average flow, calculate the average annual flow by averaging the 4 quarterly flows for 2011. For WWTFs monitoring semi-annual flow, calculate the average annual flow by averaging the 2 semi-ennual measurements for 2011. For WWTFs monitoring annual average flow or 12 month rolling average flow, use the annual average flow calculated for 2011. For WWTFs with seasonal flow limits, calculate the average flow for each of the seasonal flow limits based on the data collected during calendar year 2011, and include the dates used for the seasonal flow rate calculations in the spaces provided. For example, if the facility has seasonal limits that apply from May through October, Season I would be the average flow from May through October, while Season 2 would be the average flow from January through April and November through December. If either of the seasonal calcolations exceeds 95% of the design flow, the "Yes" box for question ld must be ebecked and a Flow Management Plan must be prepared in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(1) and submitted to the Regional Water Engineer no later than August l, 2012. Ifa Flow Management Plan has been previously submitted to NYSDEC, check "Yes" for question le and pmvida the date the plan was submitted. The design flow of the WWTF shall be in accordance with that listed in the most recent design documents or treatment plant rating submitted to and approved by this Department. If the design flow for the WWTF is unknown, the design flow should be estimated using the "Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities, 2004 Edition" (Ten States Standards), which can be ordered from Health Education Services at: http://wwW.healthresearch.org/store The requirements for the flow management plan contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(1) van be found on the NYSDEC websita at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4584.html Section 2 - Loadines: Compare the deslun BOD and TSS lnfluent Ioadlnes to the actual BOD and TSS Ioadinus: The design influent loadings are not included on the preprinted DlVffi. These numbers may be found in the WWTF's engineering design documents, O&M plans, or in more recent engineering reports if the WWTF has had a recent upgrade. Use the most recent design loadings data avaiinble for pmpuses of this calculation. If you cannot locate the WWTF's design im'luunt loadings criteria, please contact the wW'rF's design engineer. If the design loadings for the WW'rF facility are unknown, the loadings should be estimatedusing the "Recommended Standards for Westewater Fac/lities, 2004 Edition" (Ten States Standards), which can be ordered from Health Educatiun Services at: http://www, healthresearch.org/store If the WWTF nses Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BED) as a measure of treatment system performance, use BeD loadings in the calculation ofinfluant loadings. If the facility useg CBOD as a measure of treatment system performance, nse CBOD loadings in these calculations. If no influent monitoring is required, check the box under Section 2 and proceed to Section 4. To calculate the actual influent loadings in lbs/day, WWTFs that perform daily sampling should multiply the average monthly coacentralion on the DMR (in mg/l) by the average monthly flow (in MGD) and a conversion factor of 8.34. For WWTFs with less than daily sampling, i.e., monthly~ weekly, etc., the daily flow from the WWTF on the date that the Sample was collected shall be used to determine the loadings. These individual daily loadings should be averaged for the monthly actual influont loading. For WWTFs monitoring quarterly, semiannual, or annual loadings, calculate the actual loadings by averaging the loadings as reported during calendar year 2011. If either of the seasonal calculations exceeds the design loading, the "Yeg" box for question 2C must be checked. Should the actual influent loading for either BeD (or CBOD) or TSS exceed the design influant loading, an explanation for these exceedaaces may be submitted with the completed form. Ifa written explanation is attached, chock the "Yes" box for question 4b. Ifa Plan for Future Growth was previously submitted to NYSDEC, indicate the date that the plan was submitted in question 2d. The requirements for the plan for future growth contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(cX2) can be found on the NYsDEC website at: http://www.dec.n¥.gov/regs/4584.html Section 3 - Implementation of Plan for Future Growth and Sewer Moratorium: Review the WWTF's DMRs to determine whether the discharge from the WWTF has exceeded the SPDES permit 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 2011. If the answer to this question is "Yes", an immediate moratorium on additional sewer connections shall be imposed and the approval of sewer connections to the WWTF must cease immediately. The requirements for the sewer connection moratorium contained in 6 NYCRR Part 750-2.9(c)(3) can be found on the NYSDEC website at: http://ww~'.dec.ny.~ov/regs/458~.htm! Section 4 - Additional Information: If the faedity is currently under a NYSDEC-issued Order on Consent that addresses flow end/or lOadings concerns, check the "Yes" box for question 4a. If additional comments or explanations are attached, check the "Yes" box for question 4b.
