The Illinois Association of Wastewater Agencies (IAWA) has reviewed
the pre-filed testimony of the Illinois EPA and Illinois DNR in the
referenced petition before the III
. Pollution Control Board . In order to
further clarify and understand the justifications for the positions taken in
the pre-filed testimony the IAWA is requesting that the agencies be
prepared to answer the following questions at the April 25, 2006 hearing
.
IAWA would also like to have the data supporting the answers be made
available to the petitioner before the hearing date
.
•
The IAWA is requesting any continuous and grab dissolved
oxygen (DO) monitoring data available for those segments for
which the enhanced dissolved oxygen standard is proposed
.
Including all Illinois EPA, Illinois DNR and the Illinois Council
on Food and Agricultural Research (C-FAR) data
.
•
How does the continuous DO data previously supplied by Paul
Terrio correlate with the lists river segments?
•
The IAWA is also requesting information that shows that Illinois
rivers can meet the Agency proposed DO limits specifically
including the transitional month of July
.
•
The IAWA would like to know what the Illinois EPA approach
will be to point dischargers that are immediately upstream to the
listed segments
. In other words, how close could a point
discharge be to a listed segment before a discharge permit is
affected?
•
The IAWA will ask if the Illinois EPA intends to modify
existing and future NPDES permit limits for DO, and what that
new effluent limit will be for both listed and unlisted stream
segments .
•
The IAWA is also requesting the Illinois EPA provide
information on any of the listed segments that are either on the
'111111A
.

•
current 303(d) or the draft 303(d) list
. And, what are the listed impairments? Also what are the
future expected impacts for future 303(d) listed streams as a result of this proposal
.
•
Twice previously IAWA has requested the list of point discharges to the listed segments
. Roy
Smoger had promised to deliver the information and has yet to do so
. IAWA would like to have
that list for the hearing on April 25
1h .
If you have any questions regarding these requests please don't hesitate to call me at 630

Thank you,
