About This Item
Interim Permitting Manual — Navigating NPDES Permit Issues on Impaired Waters Addresses many water quality standards issues that facilities may encounter, including existing uses, use attainability analyses to revise designated uses, fish consumption advisories, whole effl uent toxicity criteria, and sediment criteria. The manual will provide guid ance on a number of listing issues, including listings due to violations of narrative criteria and fish consumption advisories, delisting, listing waters that are impaired but do not need a total maximum daily loading (TMDL) because th ey are expected to meet standards through other means, and challengin g an erroneous listing determination. The second part of this manual will di scuss permitting discharges to impaired waters during the interim period before TMDLs are developed. The manual will describe the development of water q uality - based effluent limitations on impaired waters and will also discuss a number of issues for affected facilities to consider during the permitting proc ess, including timing (when the permit should be issued), watershed perm itting, verifying the impairment determination before the permit is issued, other controls available to bring the water into attainment, re asonable potential calculations, voluntary reduction measures, nonnumeric efflue nt limitations, and calc ulating numeric effluent limitations
