Our Calculations reference a report prepared by Provost and Prichard titled Local Discharge Limits Development, that was prepared for the City of Visalia in March 2012, see Appendix A. We have also utilized the City of Visalia’s Sewer Master Plan, December 2005, to calculate an assumed volume of effluent for the proposed project. See below for the equation that will be utilized to calculate the assumed BOD and TSS that will be generated by the proposed project.

The Crandell Subdivision is a new project being proposed by Wathen Castanos Homes. The project is Located on Demaree Street, North of Riverway Drive. The project is proposing to develop 17.4 Gross Acres of Low Density Residential, 25.4 Gross Acres of Medium Density Residential, and 7.6 Gross Acres of High Density Residential. Using table 3.4 from the City of Visalia’s Sewer Master Plan, the expected flow rates can be calculated using the Adjusted Flow Coefficients that have been provided.

Land Use Acreage Adjusted Flow Coefficient Expected Flow (GPD) Low Density 17.4 800 13,920
Medium Density 25.4 1300 33,020
High Density 7.6 2000 15,200
Total Expected Flow: 62,140 GPD
Utilizing the equation and coefficients previously provided, we can calculate BOD as Follows:

𝐴𝐻𝐿𝑤𝑑𝑟 =
(8.34)(𝐶𝑤𝑑𝑟)(𝑄𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓)
(1 − 𝑅𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓)
Where:

𝐶𝑤𝑑𝑟 = 30
𝑄𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓 = .062 𝑀𝐺𝐷
𝑅𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓 = .9881
𝑩𝑶𝑫 = 𝟏𝟑𝟎𝟑. 𝟓𝟔 𝑳𝒃/𝑫𝒂𝒚
Utilizing the equation and coefficients previously provided, we can calculate TSS as Follows 𝐴𝐻𝐿𝑤𝑑𝑟 =
(8.34)(𝐶𝑤𝑑𝑟)(𝑄𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓)
(1 − 𝑅𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓)
Where:

𝐶𝑤𝑑𝑟 = 30
𝑄𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓 = .062 𝑀𝐺𝐷
𝑅𝑤𝑤𝑡𝑓 = .9865
𝑻𝑺𝑺 = 𝟏𝟏𝟒𝟗. 𝟎𝟕 𝑳𝒃/𝑫𝒂𝒚

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Visalia has an approved Industrial Pretreatment Program. As such, the City is required to maintain and enforce local limits on the significant industrial users that discharge to the City’s wastewater treatment facility. The existing local limits were developed in 1992. The Regional Water Quality Control Board is requiring the City to reevaluate their local limits.

A list of potential pollutants of concern was developed based on available sampling and treatment facility data. A sampling plan was developed and implemented to collect additional data necessary to perform the local limits evaluation. Using the information collected, the local limits were evaluated. The results of this evaluation are summarized in Table ES-1.

The City of Visalia operates a wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) that collects the municipal wastewater generated from the City of Visalia and the Goshen Community Services District. The WWTF treats typical domestic wastes as well as waste generated from commercial and industrial users. Several of the industrial users served by the WWTF meet the definition of a Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 CFR 403.3. SIUs are defined as:
 Industries subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards under 40 CFR 403.6 and 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N;
 Any industry discharging an average of 25,000 gallons per day (gpd) or more of process wastewater;
 Any industry that contributes a waste stream that makes up 5 percent or more of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic capacity of the WWTF; or  Any industry designated by the Control Authority to have a reasonable potential to adversely affect the WWTF’s operation.

Table 1-1 lists the current SIUs and the reason they are considered SIUs.

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc Due to the fact that there are SIUs discharging to the WWTF, the City of Visalia is required to have an approved Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP). The City’s IPP was approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) on May 5, 1983.

Part of the IPP requirements is the development and implementation of local limits.

Local limits are designed to protect the operations of the WWTF and to ensure that its discharges, whether liquid, solid, or air, comply with State and Federal requirements.

The EPA published the Local Limits Development Guidance document in July 2004.

This document outlines the procedures to develop local limits. In developing local limits the following factors may need to be considered:
 the WWTF’s efficiency in treating and removing pollutants;  the WWTF’s history of complying with the Waste Discharge Requirements;  sludge disposal methods; and
 worker health and safety concerns.

The current local limits were developed in 1992. The purpose of this project is to reevaluate those local limits and investigate the need for stricter or additional local limits.

1.1 WWTF Information
The WWTF treats sewage from the City of Visalia and the community of Goshen. The combined population is approximately 125,000 with a service area of 30 square miles.

The WWTF has a design capacity of 22 million gallons per day (MGD). The average flow for the period of January 2007 to August 2010 was 12.18 MGD, with a maximum one day flow of 14.79 MGD.

Sewage from the main trunklines enters two wet wells prior to entering the headworks of the WWTF. The headworks consists of bar screens. From the headworks, the flow goes to a set of four primary sedimentation basins. From the primary basins, the wastewater is sent to one of four plastic media filled trickling filters. From the trickling filters the water is sent to the aeration basins. The aeration basins precede the secondary sedimentation basins. After the sedimentation basins, the water is chlorinated prior to discharge. The WWTF has the ability to discharge to Mill Creek, agricultural lands, and to onsite percolation ponds. A majority of the flow is discharged to Mill Creek, with the onsite percolation ponds being the discharge point when Mill Creek is not used.

Sludge collected from the primary and secondary treatment processes is thickened in a pair of gravity belt thickeners. After thickening, the sludge is fed to one of six anaerobic digesters. After digestion, liquid from the digesters is discharged to one of two sludge pits for settling of solids. Supernatant from the sludge pits is pumped back to the headworks. The solids from the digesters are pumped to thirty unlined sludge drying City of Visalia
SECTION ONE Local Discharge Limits Development

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc beds. After 60 to 90 days, the sludge is transferred to an onsite stockpile area. Once per year the stockpiled sludge is land applied to farmland in Merced County.

There are several streams from within the plant that are sent back to the wet wells prior to the headworks for treatment. These recycle streams are gravity thickener filtrate, secondary clarifier scum, supernatant from the sludge pits, decant from the sludge drying beds, and septage waste and chemical toilet waste. The samples obtained for the plant influent include these flows.

The WWTF accepts septage from licensed haulers. The waste from the septage haulers is discharged at a point prior to the headworks to assure treatment by the entire WWTF process. The WWTF accepts approximately 11,599 gallons per day of septage from haulers.

The processes employed in the treatment process will affect certain pollutant local limits due to inhibition levels that can disrupt the treatment process. Additionally, the ability of the WWTF to remove pollutants will affect the local limits. The interference and inhibition values are detailed in Section 2.4.3. The WWTF removal efficiencies are detailed in Section 3.1.

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc Pollutants of Concern (POCs) are those pollutants that need to be controlled to protect the WWTF, its workers, and the disposal of the treated wastewater effluent and biosolids. POCs are pollutants that may cause pass through or interference at the WWTF, cause problems in the collection system, or cause problems with the WWTF’s ability to dispose of the generated biosolids.

The following sections discuss the various reasons a pollutant may be included in the list of POCs. There may be numerous reasons to consider a pollutant a POC. The fact that a pollutant is a POC does not mean that a local limit must be developed for it.

Whether a local limit is needed for a POC is discussed in Section 4. If a pollutant is determined to be a POC, data must be collected for it and a detailed evaluation of the POC must be performed.

2.1 EPA POCs
The EPA has established 15 pollutants that are often found in treatment plant effluent and biosolids. The EPA considers these 15 pollutants to be POCs and need to be evaluated as part of any local limits evaluation. These pollutants are listed in Table 2-1.

2.3 Waste Discharge Requirement POCs
On September 21, 2006, the RWQCB issued Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for the City of Visalia WWTF. The WDR contains pollutant limitations that the WWTF must comply with on the discharge to Mill Creek, the Use Area (agricultural lands), or to the onsite disposal ponds. The pollutants that are regulated on the effluent are considered POCs. Table 2-3 lists the pollutants that have limitations listed in the WDR.

2.4 Other Reasons for POCs
There are several other reasons that a pollutant may be included on the POC list according to the EPA Guidance Manual, including: water quality criteria, biosolid land application restrictions, and treatment plant inhibitions. There are numerous pollutants that are listed under these criteria. However, to be considered a POC at least one of the following conditions must be met:
 The maximum pollutant concentration in the plant effluent is more than one-half the allowable effluent concentration required to meet a water quality criteria limit;  The maximum pollutant concentration in the sludge is more than one-half the applicable biosolids residual disposal limit;
 The maximum pollutant concentration in a plant influent grab sample is more than one-half the inhibition threshold; or
 The maximum pollutant concentration in a plant influent grab composite sample is more than one-fourth the inhibition threshold.

2.4.1 Water Quality Criteria

SECTION TWO Local Discharge Limits Development

Page 6 ends

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc In the WDR for the WWTF, the RWQCB stated that Mill Creek’s beneficial uses are warm freshwater habitat, water contact recreation, and human health protection (consumption of aquatic organisms only). There is normally no flow in Mill Creek upstream of the WWTF, so the discharge from the WWTF constitutes the flow in Mill Creek. Therefore, there is no dilution of the WWTF effluent in Mill Creek. There are numerous constituents that have limitations based on the beneficial uses in Mill Creek.

Additionally, the State of California has limitations for water used for agricultural uses.

There are numerous constituents that have limitations based on the potential agricultural use of the treated effluent.

For both the beneficial and agricultural use protection, only pollutants in concentrations that are greater than 50% of the water quality standard are considered POCs.

2.4.2 Biosolids Land Application Criteria
The City of Visalia disposes of biosolids by land application. The WWTF must prohibit industrial users from discharging pollutants that could cause a violation of applicable sludge disposal regulations. The national sludge standards are contained in 40 CFR 503. These limitations are based on human health and environmental risks and include numerical pollutant limits, operational standards, management practices, and requirements for sampling, record keeping, and reporting. The State of California has adopted the federal standards in 40 CFR 503. Additionally, the State of California has land application standards set forth in Title 22. The pollutants contained in the 503 and Title 22 regulations are considered for evaluation as a POC. In order to be considered a POC, the maximum pollutant concentration in the sludge must be more than one-half the applicable biosolids residual disposal limit.

2.4.3 Interference and Inhibition Criteria
The pretreatment regulations set forth by the EPA in 40 CFR 403.5(a) state that there must be prohibitions against the discharge of pollutants from an industrial user that may cause interference at the WWTF. Interference, as defined by the EPA, means a discharge that inhibits or disrupts a treatment plant and causes a violation of the WWTF’s WDR or biosolids sludge requirements. The EPA recommends that pollutants be considered POCs if they have caused interference in the past. Based on the City of Visalia WWTF historical data, there have been no pollutants that have caused interference at the plant in the past.

There are certain pollutants that may not cause an effluent discharge or biosolids disposal violation but that may cause disruptions to the WWTF operations. The EPA Local Limits Development Guidance document contains a list of pollutants and inhibition concentrations for various treatment plant processes. The pollutants that have inhibition concentrations are considered POCs if the following criteria have been met:
 The maximum pollutant concentration in a plant influent grab sample is more than one-half the inhibition threshold; or

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc  The maximum pollutant concentration in a plant influent grab composite sample is more than one-fourth the inhibition threshold.

2.4.4 Protection of Treatment Works, Collection System, and Workers Explosive and flammable pollutants can threaten the integrity of the collection system and the health and safety of the WWTF workers. Under the right conditions, the accumulation of such pollutants can produce explosions or fires. Local limits may be needed if these pollutants are expected to be discharged from industrial users.

The fume toxicity levels of certain pollutants indicate the likelihood that a WWTF worker will suffer adverse health effects when the level is approached or exceeded. Volatile organic compound vapors are the major concern because they can be toxic and carcinogenic, and may produce chronic health affects after various periods of exposure.

The EPA Local Limits Development Guidance document list the concentrations for the various exposure levels set forth by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Local limits may be needed if these pollutants are expected to be discharged from industrial users at concentrations that may pose a risk to WWTF workers.

2.5 Summary of Controlling Limits

2.7 Sampling Plan
A review of the existing City of Visalia information showed there was additional information needed to complete the local limits evaluation.

The City of Visalia has no recent (last five years) monitoring data for residential or commercial users. A sampling plan was needed to address additional information needed for the evaluation. The residential samples were taken to cover every day of the week over at least a two week period (Week 1 – Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Week 2 – Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). The exact dates were adjusted as needed to fit into existing staff work schedules and the availability of the laboratory to perform the required tests. For the sampling at the WWTF, samples were obtained covering at least two different days. No sampling was performed within 48 hours of a measurable precipitation event. Commercial sampling required only one day of sampling. Table 2-6 lists the pollutants that should be monitored, the location, number of samples, test methods, and the preferred detection limit. Test methods listed are EPA test methods except those beginning with SM, which are Standard Methods test procedures.

Residential Sampling
The residential sampling was conducted to cover geographically diverse areas of the City. Based on the layout of the wastewater collection system the following locations were sampled to provide the residential sampling information:
 Comstock
 Hillsdale
 Evergreen
 Mary and County Center
Commercial Sampling
A majority of the commercial establishments within the City are restaurants. The sampling for the commercial loading was conducted at a commercial shopping area that includes some restaurants. The following location was sampled to represent commercial loading:
 Linwood
 Alley off Court
Treatment Plant
Samples and estimates of flow for the following processes were obtained:
 Plant influent
 Primary effluent
 Secondary effluent prior to chlorination
 Feed to anaerobic digesters

After determining the POCs (Table 2-5) and gathering the additional sampling data, the maximum allowable headworks loadings (MAHLs) can be calculated. The MAHL is the estimated upper limit of a particular pollutant loading to the WWTF intended to prevent pass through or interference. The MAHL for each POC is calculated by the following steps:

1. Calculation of WWTF removal efficiency for the POC;

2. Calculate the allowable headworks loading (AHLs) for the various environmental criteria (such as WDR limits, water quality limits, sludge disposal limits, inhibition values);

3. Designate the MAHL as the most stringent allowable headworks loading for the POC.

3.1 WWTF Removal Efficiencies
Based on the sampling data collected from the City of Visalia WWTF, the removal efficiencies for the POCs were calculated. The removal efficiencies shown in Table 3-1 are the average removal percentages for each POC. The detailed data used to calculate the removal efficiencies is contained in Appendix A. For purposes of calculating the removal efficiencies, any reported concentration that was below the detection limit was assumed to be half the detection limit. Any negative removal efficiencies were assumed to be zero.

The sampling plan results showed that for all samples, pentachlorophenol, tetrachloroethene, endosulfan II, endrin, heptachlor, bromodichloromethane, bromoform, and 4,4’ DDE were not present in the influent or effluent of the WWTF.

Therefore, these pollutants were removed from consideration as POCs.

Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was detected above the detection limit in some of the regular monthly WWTF effluent samples. However, the field blanks obtained during those sampling events showed concentrations greater than the effluent sample values.

This data is shown in Appendix B. Based on this information, the effluent concentrations for bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate are considered to be below the detection limit. Therefore, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was removed from consideration as a POC.

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc The sampling plan results also showed that the return of WWTF recycle flows to the headworks had a minimal impact on the headworks loading to the WWTF. The return flows are from the scum funnels, GBT filtrate, supernatant pit and the septage receiving station. These flows are estimated to make up approximately 2% of the headworks flow.

3.2 Discharge Permit and Water Quality AHLs
The RWQCB issued the WWTF Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) that regulates the discharge from the plant. The AHL for POCs with WDR limitations is shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1 – AHL based on WDR limits
AHLwdr = (8.34)(Cwdr)(Qwwtf)
(1-Rwwtf)
Where:

AHLwdr = AHL based on WDR limit, lb/day
Cwdr = WDR permit limit, mg/L
Qwwtf = WWTF average flow rate, MGD
Rwwtf = Plant removal efficiency, as decimal

8.34 = Conversion factor
Table 3-2 shows the allowable headworks loading for the POCs based upon the limitations contained in the WDR.

TSS 12.18 30 User Entered 98.65 226555.1037
The WDR issued does not contain limitations for all the POCs mentioned in Table 2-5.

For the pollutants without limitation in the WDR, the EPA guidance recommends using AHLs based on State or Federal Water Quality Standards. The water quality standards can be based upon short term aquatic life affects (acute) or long term affects (chronic).

Water quality standards can also be based upon human health effects. The human health effects can be from drinking of the water, recreational use of the water, or consumption of aquatic life. According to the WDR, the discharge to Mill Creek is City of Visalia

The criteria used for this comparison is discussed in Section 2.4. The AHL for POCs that have water quality standards is shown in Equation 2.

Equation 2 – AHL based on Water Quality limits
AHLwq = (8.34)[(Cwq)*(Qstr+Qwwtf) – (Cstr*Qstr)]
(1-Rwwtf)
Where:

AHLwq = AHL based on water quality criteria, lb/day
Cwq = State or Federal water quality standard, mg/L
Cstr = Receiving stream background concentration, mg/L
Qwwtf = WWTF average flow rate, MGD
Qstr = Receiving stream (upstream) flow rate, MGD
Rwwtf = Plant removal efficiency, as decimal

8.34 = Conversion factor
The equation allows for instantaneous mixing of the discharge with the receiving stream. Since there is normally no flow in Mill Creek upstream of the WWTF discharge, the receiving stream concentration and receiving stream flow were considered to be zero.

Table 3-3 shows the allowable headworks loading for the POCs based upon the water quality standards.

3.4 Inhibition Based AHLs
Certain pollutant concentrations in wastewater or sludge can cause operational problems for biological treatment processes. The City of Visalia WWTF operates the following biological processes that may be subject to inhibition issues: activated sludge, trickling filters, and anaerobic sludge digestion. The WWTF has not had historical issues with pollutants causing upsets of the biological processes. The EPA guidance document contains inhibition values for pollutants that have the potential to upset biological treatment processes. These inhibition limitations are converted to AHLs for the POCs using Equation 4, Equation 5, and Equation 6.

Equation 4 – AHL based on Activated Sludge Inhibition Values AHLact = (8.34)(Cact)(Qwwtf)
(1-Rprim)
Where:

AHLact = AHL based on activated sludge inhibition, lb/day Cact = Inhibition criterion for activated sludge, mg/L

After the calculation of the maximum allowable headworks loadings for the POCs, the POCs that require a local limit must be determined. The EPA guidance document recommends developing local limits for those POCs where the average influent loading exceeds 60% of the MAHL. Table 4-1 shows a comparison of MAHLs with the average headworks loadings for each POC. The highlighted POCs are those whose average influent loadings exceed 60% of the MAHL and will be evaluated for local limits.

Based on the information shown in Table 4-1, there is no local limit necessary for molybdenum, selenium, boron, and chloride. No local limit is necessary for ammonia since a review SIU data for ammonia shows little or no ammonia in the industrial discharge and the influent loading is 71.6% of the MAHL for ammonia.

4.1 Residential and Background Loadings
There are many other sources of wastewater to the WWTF besides the regulated industrial user flows. These other sources include domestic (residential) waste, storm water, inflow and infiltration, and commercial dischargers. Because the WWTF does not control the discharges from these sources, the loading contributed from these uncontrolled sources must be deducted from the MAHL to determine the loading available for industrial dischargers.

The City of Visalia has a separated sewer system so storm water is conveyed via a dedicated piping system to minimize the volume of storm water entering the sewer collection system and the WWTF. Additionally, the collection system does not have significant volumes of inflow and infiltration. Therefore, the loadings from storm water and inflow and infiltration to the WWTF are considered to be negligible.

The City of Visalia has performed sampling in residential and commercial areas to determine the expected loadings from these sources. This sampling data is contained in Appendix D. The loading from these sources is calculated by Equation 8.

Equation 8 – Residential and Background Loading Calculation Lunc = (Cunc) * (Qunc) * 8.34
Where:

Lunc = Uncontrolled loading, lb/day
Cunc = Uncontrolled pollutant concentration, mg/L
Qunc = Uncontrolled flow rate, MGD

8.34 = Unit conversion factor

4.2 Septage Loadings
The City of Visalia WWTF accepts septage waste from licensed haulers. Since the septage haulers are not subject to local limits like industrial users, the loading the WWTF receives from septage haulers needs to be subtracted from the MAHLs when determining the loadings available for industrial users. The City of Visalia samples some septage discharges and records the volume of septage received. This septage hauler information is shown in Appendix E. Equation 9 is used to calculate the loading from septage haulers.

Equation 9 – Septage Loading Calculation
Lsep = (Csep) * (Qsep) * 8.34
Where:

Lsep = Septage loading, lb/day
Csep = Septage pollutant concentration, mg/L
Qsep = Septage flow rate, MGD

8.34 = Unit conversion factor

4.3 Maximum Allowable Industrial Loadings
Maximum Allowable Industrial Loadings (MAILs) are the amount of pollutant loadings that the WWTF can receive from controlled sources (permitted industrial users). The MAIL for each pollutant is calculated by Equation 10.

Equation 10 – MAIL Calculation
MAIL = MAHL (1-SF) – (Lunc+SW+GA)
Where:

MAIL = Maximum allowable industrial loading, lb/day
MAHL = Maximum allowable headworks loading, lb/day
SF = Safety factor, decimal
Lunc = Loadings from uncontrolled sources, lb/day
SW = Loadings from septage waste, lb/day
GA = Growth allowance, lb/day

4.3.1 Safety Factor and Growth Allowance
The safety factor is a percentage of the MAHL set aside to account for variability in the data analyzed and other uncertainties. The EPA recommends at least a 10 percent safety factor be used. For the purposes of this local limits study, a 10 percent safety factor will be used for all pollutants.

Growth allowance is a part of the MAHL that can be held reserve to allow for potential growth or expansion within the service area. The growth allowance is normally used for those pollutants that the WWTF was designed to remove, such as BOD, TSS, and ammonia. The City of Visalia does not know of any major growth or expansions to the wastewater collection system. However, five percent will be set aside to allow for any growth that may occur during the life of the local limits. Setting aside the five percent will allow some growth without the need to revise the local limits.

4.4 Local Limits Allocations
There are two common approaches to allocating the available MAIL to the significant industrial users. The two common methods are uniform allocation and Industrial User specific allocation. Different allocation methods can be used for each pollutant.

4.4.1 Uniform Allocation
The uniform allocation method yields one limit per pollutant that will apply to all SIUs.

This allocation method requires that the MAIL for the pollutant be divided by the total flow from all SIUs, even those that do not discharge the pollutant. This method can be overly stringent because some IUs that do not discharge a pollutant will be given an allocation of the MAIL that they may not need. Equation 11 shows the method to calculate a local limit using the uniform allocation method.

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc Equation 11 – Uniform Allocation Calculation
Clim = MAIL / [(Qsiu) * 8.34]
Where:

Clim = Uniform concentration limit, mg/L
MAIL = Maximum allowable industrial loading, lb/day
Qsiu = Total flow rate from SIUs, MGD

8.34 = Unit conversion factor

4.4.2 IU Specific Allocation
There are two methods to divide the MAIL for each pollutant among only the SIUs that discharge that particular pollutant. These methods develop SIU-specific discharge limits. Any SIU that discharges at or below the background level is given a background allocation.

The SIU Contributory Flow method is similar to the Uniform Allocation method except that the portion of the MAILs above the background level is divided by the flow rate from those SIUs discharging the pollutant above background. Equation 12 shows the SIU Contributory Flow Allocation calculation.

Equation 12 – SIU Contributory Flow Allocation Calculation Clim = [MAIL – Lback] / [(Qsiupol) * 8.34]
Where:

Clim = Uniform concentration limit, mg/L
MAIL = Maximum allowable industrial loading, lb/day
Lback = Background loading allocation for SIUs for which no contributory flow limit is being established for that pollutant, lb/day Qsiupol = Total flow rate from SIUs discharging the pollutant, MGD

8.34 = Unit conversion factor

4.4.3 The Mass Proportion Allocation
The mass proportion allocation method allocates the MAIL to each SIU in proportion to the SIU’s loading of that pollutant. To calculate the allowable loading for a SIU the portion of the MAIL above background is multiplied by the ratio of the current loading from SIU X to the current total loading of a pollutant from all SIUs. This calculation is shown in Equation 13.

Equation 14 shows the conversion of the mass allocation to a concentration.

4.6 IU Specific Allocation of Local Limits
Based on the uniform allocation method, the proposed local limits for some pollutants are significantly lower than the existing local limits. These pollutants are: cadmium, copper, cyanide, lead, mercury, nickel, silver and zinc. The proposed local limits for these pollutants are also significantly lower than the concentrations seen in the discharge from the SIUs. Sampling data for the SIUs is in Appendix G.

The City currently imposes silver local limits for Josten’s Printing and Publishing and Voltage Multipliers of 4.0 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L, respectively. The mass loading associated with these two SIUs was subtracted from the MAIL before it was distributed amongst the remaining silver contributing SIUs.

IU Specific Allocated local limits are meant to be applied to all industrial users regulated by the IPP. In order to provide additional protection, only 80% of the MAIL will be allocated via the IU Specific Allocation method. This will allow an additional amount of safety in the case where an industry that has not historically discharged a pollutant may discharge that pollutant above background concentrations.

Table 4-3 is a summary of the collected information and the proposed local limits based on the IU Specific Allocation method. Details of the IU Specific Allocation calculations are in Appendix H.

4.8 Protection of the Treatment Works, Collection System, and Workers

4.8.1 Fume Toxicity
There are certain pollutants that can cause a fire or explosion, corrosive structural damage at the treatment plant, obstruction of flow, inhibition of biological activity due to heat, or discharges that cause the formation of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes.

City of Visalia
SECTION FOUR Local Discharge Limits Development

Page 33 ends

H:\(1) AGENDAS for Council - DO NOT REMOVE\2011\6-20-2011\Item 11q Attachment - Visalia Local Limits Report.doc Explosive and flammable pollutants discharged to a WWTF can threaten the integrity of the collection system and the health and safety of the workers. Under the right conditions, the accumulation of such pollutants in treatment works can produce explosions or fires. There are no POCs listed in Table 2-5 that are listed in the EPA Guidance Manual as being potentially explosive.

The fume toxicity level of a pollutant discharged to a WWTF indicates the likelihood that a WWTF worker will suffer an adverse health effect when the level is approached or exceeded. This level can be measured by the time weighted average threshold limit value (TWA-TLV), which is the concentration to which a worker can be exposed for eight hours per day, 40 hours per week and not have any acute or chronic adverse health effects. Similarly, short-term exposure limits (STELs) are concentrations to which a worker should not be exposed for longer than 15 minutes or more than four times per day (with at least one hour between each exposure).

There were three POCs identified in Table 2-4 that have fume toxicity exposure limits that indicate they may create a toxicity exposure issue for collection system workers.

The three POCs were chloroform, ethylbenzene, and toluene. The fume toxicity discharge screening level can be calculated using Equation 15. The discharge screening level is the concentration in the treatment works above which a local limit may be necessary.

Based on the maximum concentrations sampled in the treatment works and the fume toxicity discharge screening levels, no local limits are needed for chloroform, ethylbenzene or toluene based upon the protection of the treatment works, collection system and workers.

4.8.2 Oil and Grease
Based on the uniform allocation of the oil and grease maximum allowable industrial loading, the local limit would be 669 mg/L. This local limit is based upon protecting the WWTFs ability to meet the WDR oil and grease limitation.

However, by its very nature, grease will adhere to many types of surfaces with sewers especially vulnerable to grease build-up. The cool internal surfaces of sewers provide ideal locations on which thin layers of grease can build up. Over a period of time, clumps of grease will build up to the point that the sewer can be completely choked.

Grease also accumulates due to cooling and dilution of surfactants, that allows the grease to separate and collect on all sewer system surfaces, including wetwells at pump stations, where controls can become fouled and prevent pumps from operating properly.

Based on the residential (background loading) monitoring data, the average background oil and grease concentration is 76.5 mg/L. The average SIU concentration for oil and grease is 133 mg/L. The average oil and grease concentration into the WWTF is 57 mg/L.

The most commonly used local limit for oil & grease is 100 mg/L. The City currently has a limit of 200 mg/L. The 100 mg/L limit is not based upon any empirical evidence but rather on general correlations and an industry consensus that this level limits the build up of oil and grease in the collection system. The federal pretreatment regulations, 40 CFR 403.5(b)(6), prohibit “petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause interference or pass through.” In most municipalities, oil and grease limits of 100 mg/L to 300 mg/L are protective of the collection system. Limits may need to vary depending on different factors, such as the number of wet wells, type of sewers, slope of sewers, flow in sewers, maintenance of the sewers, and history of grease related clogs.

Based upon the concentrations of oil and grease from residential and industrial sources and the history of grease, the current local limit of 200 mg/L is protective of the collection system and should remain.

4.9 Public Participation
The EPA General Pretreatment Regulations encourages public participation by requiring public notices or hearings for local limits development. The City of Visalia must publish a notice (including a notice for a public hearing) in a newspaper of general City of Visalia

All comments regarding the proposed local limits as well as any request for a public hearing must be filed with the Approval Authority (the RWQCB) within 30 days. The Approval Authority is required to account for all comments received when deciding whether to approve or deny the proposed local limits. The decision is then provided to the City and other interested parties, and published in the newspaper. All comments received are made available to the public for inspection and copying.

The City should notify the existing SIUs and other interested parties, individually, of the proposed limits and announce a public comment period in the local newspaper. This public comment period can be open while the proposed limits are submitted to the Approval Authority for initial review. During the comment period, the public may present technical challenges to the rationale for a particular local limit.

4.10 Implementation
Upon approval from the RWQCB, the approved limits need to be added to the existing sewer use ordinance. Once integrated in the sewer use ordinance, the approved local limits can be included into the permits issued to the SIUs.
