ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL

PETITION FOR NPDES PERMIT APPEAL
Petitioner City of Rock Island, by its attorneys Gardner; Carton
&
Douglas, petitions the
Illinois Pollution Control Board ("Board") under Section 40(a) of the Illinois Environmental
Protection
Act, 415 ILCS §
5/40(a),
to grant Rock Island a hearing to contest three conditions of
the NPDES permit issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEP A"). In
support, Rock Island states as follows:
1.
On March 24, 1998, Rock Island applied to IEP A for reissuance of its existing
NPDES permit
to discharge from its Main Sewage Treatment Plant ("Plant") to the Mississippi
River, Sylvan Slough and Blackhawk Creek. After IEPA prepared a proposed NPDES pennit,
Rock Island submitted written comments
and objections. IEP A responded by issuing a final
permit on September
14, 1999 with revisions to address the concerns of Rock Island. See
Exhibit
A. But IEP A declined to make certain changes requested by Rock Island. The permit
contains two factual errors that
IEP A has not corrected. Rock Island also challenges the new
chlorine residual limitation
for two new outfalls and requests the limitation to be revised to
conform to the limits that !EPA has been applying to other discharges of this type.
.~
.1
..
2.
The Plant as it is currently constructed has a maximum design flow.of 12 million
gallons per day ("MOD").
It
is p!"esently physically impossible to send flows in excess of this
figure and consistently comply with the NPDES permit limits. The historical designation of the
Plant erroneously identified it as a
16 MGD plant, as does the current NPDES permit issued by
IEPA. See permit 2,3. Rock Island has been granted a construction permit to increase the
plant's maximum design flow to
16 MGD and will shortly commence construction. The
designation
of 16 MGD is improper until the Plant has been improved to accommodate flows in
excess
of 12 MGD.
3.
IEP A appears to feel constrained to adhere to the er!"oneous designation because
of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's interpretation of an order issued by the
Board.
On May 9, 1986 in PCB 85-214, the Board issued a final order approving a CSO
exemption for the Plant. But it's designation was neither an issue
of fact nor dispositive in that
proceeding. Instead, all the parties misidentified the Plant's capacity.
4.
The previous NPDES permit did not prohibit the use
of Outfall OOIA at flows
under
16 MGD. Instead, that permit required Rock Island to treat maximum practical flow,
which is consistent with standard IEPA practice. The Plant's proper designation is important to
the City, for a
16 MOD designation exceeds the capacity of the plant to handle flows and will
result in a washout
of solids and violation of the permit. Rock Island has filed a Petition for
Variance with the Board eXplaining the error and seeking relief from these CSO requirements
while carrying out its construction
of the necessary improvements to increase the design
maximum flew to
16 MGD
5.
The NPDES Permit also erroneously designates Outfall 007 as a sanitary sewer
overflow point rather than part
of a combined sewer system and prohibits discharges from 007.
2
.... 1
Special Condition 7. The difference between a Combined Sewer Jnd Sanitary Sewer is provided
in regulations. A Combined Sewer is a sewer designated and constructed to receive both
wastewater and land runoff. 35
n.
Adm. Code § 301.255. A Sanitary Sewer is a sewer that
carries wastewater together with
incidental
land runoff. 35
n.
Adm. Code § 301.375 (emphasis
added).
It
is unquestioned that the sewers tributary to 007 were originally constructed as
combined
sewer~.
Since thefl. Rock Island committed to and completed a project to remove
catch
basim and strt'l;!t drains from the area. But Rock Island never committed to totally separate
the system. Rock Island neither committed nor was required to disconnect residential footing
drains, sump pumps or
roof drain.s from these sewers. At the time, as was the accepted practice,
this partially separated sewer system was designated as a sanitary sewer. Notwithstanding, this
sewer was never constructed, reconstructed,
or modified in a manner that would convert it to the
type
of sewer that fulfills the definition of sanitary sewer. That IEP A agreed that the sewer
system would not undergo complete separation is undisputed. After consultation with IEP A,
Rock Island applied for and was issued permits to construct the Franciscan M.edical and Saukie
Park retention basins on the sewer system tributary to Outfall 007. The basins were sized to
accommodate a five-year rainfall event. Events in excess
of the five-year storm or events
occurring before the basins emptied would be expected to result in overflows from Outfall 007.
6.
Rock Island also appeals the chlorine limitation for Outfalls Oil Gnd 012. The
permit 3ets the limit at
0.7." mg/1. Rock Island had requested that the limitation be set at 1.0
mg/l,
consistent with other permits of this type which recognize difficulties in meeting the fecal
coliform limitation and maintaining chlorine limits to below 0.75
mg/l.
3
...
.'
WHEREFORE, Rock Island respectfully requests the Board to authorize a hearing and
remand the decision to IEP A to reissue the NPDES permit consistent with the concerns
addressed in this petition. This relief should include the f( Howing:
1.
Recognition that the Plant's maximum design flow is 12 MGD, thus eliminating
the prohibition
on disc.harging from AOI at flows less than 16 MGD;
2.
Proper designation
of Outfall 007 as a combined sewer instead of a sanitary
sewer, thus removing the prohibition on discharge ii'om this outfall; 'lnd
3.
Increase in the chlorine limitation for Outfalls 011 and 012 from 0.75 mg/l to 1.0
mg/l.

NPDES Pennit No. IL0030783
Final Permit
Gentlemen:
THO ....
IAS V.
SKINNER, DIRECTOR
We received YJur comments on the proposed permit April 2. 1999. In response
to
your comments we offer
the following:
1.
The language "treating 16 MGD" was requested by USEPA (as the definition of"ma:ximum practical
flow")
in their February 25, 1999 letter. The Agency finds that USEPA's request is consistent with
the Board Order
in the City's CSO Exception (PCB 85-214, dated May 9,1986). The Agency will
initiate any necessary modifications to the NPDES Permit ifso ordered by the Pollution Control Board
in PCB 98-164.
2.
Outfall A01, according to Item 2 in the letter from Gardner Carton and Douglas. dated March 30,
1999, collects the majority ofCSO discharges from outfalls 003, 004, 005 and 006. Adding the words
"and CSO"
to the description of the outfall is appropriate.
3.
The words "or contribute to causing" have been removed from Paragraph 1 0 of Special Condition 13
on page 13 of the Permit. The language is now consistent with 40 CFR§ 122.44.
4.
Discharge 007 has been retained in the Permit as a sanitary sewer overflow point. After the City
removed the stormwater inlets and built a pump stltion at Blackhawk State Park, eliminating the direct
discharge
to the Rock River, the sewers have been considered separate sanitary sewers. The
Municipal Compliance Plan (MCP),
begun in 1985. was a response to violations of the discharge
penn
it, including the overflows from "sanitary sewers" at Blackhawk State Park. The storage basins
constructed under
the MCP have been converted to treatment facilities for sanitary sewer 0verflows,
and added to the NPDES Permit. Furthermore, the MCP project was funded through grant money
administered
by this Agency. Reclassification of these outfalls to Combined
~wer
Overflows
(CSO's)
may leave the Agency without justification for dispersion of the grant monies. As such, the
proposed reclassification may open
the City to liabilities, including the refunding of such grant
monies. The Agency sees no reason to reverse the decision to treat the flows tributary to Blackhawk
State Park
as separate sanitary sewers.
5.
A provision for the City to report their chlorination rate for outfall 001 in pounds per day, on days
when byp&sses or CSO discharges are occurring through AO 1. has been added to page 2 of the Permit.
,Wl,
l
-
6.
The chlorine residual limit
for
outfalls 0 II and 012 has been left at 0.75 mgJL. A residual chlorine
limit
of 0.75 mgIL should enable the City to meet fecal coliform limits. If operation of the facilities
indicates that fecal
limits cannot be met with a residual chlorine limit of 0.75 mg/L. the Agency will
review
the need for higher residual chlorine limits as long as the higher chlorine levels will not have
a detrimental effect on the receiving stream. This decision is consistent with other similar requests
received by the Agency.
Attached is the final NPDES Permit for your discharge. The Permit as issued covers
dis~harge
limitations.
monitoring, and reporting
requirements. .The failure of you to meet any portion ofehe Permit could result in.
civil and/or criminal penalties. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is ready and willing to assist
you in interpreting any of the conditions of the Permit as they relate specifically to your discharge.
The Permit
as issued is effective as of the date indicated on the first page of the Permit. You have the right
to appeal any condition of the Pennit to the Illinois Pollution Control Board within a 35 day period following
the issuance date.
To assist you in meeting the
self~monitoring
and reporting requirements of your reissued NPDES permit, a
supply
of preprinted Discharge Monitoring Report
(D~1R)
forms for your facility is being prepared. These
forms
will be sent to you prior to the initiation of DMR reporting under the reissued permit. Additional
information
and instructions will accompany the preprinted DMRs upon their arrival.
Should
you have questions concerning the Permit, please contact Wes Rust at the telephone number indicated
above.
Very truly yours.

of this Spacial Condition); and,
i. Monitoring to characterize impacts and efficiency of
csa
controls (Compliance with this Item shall be met through the
requirements imposed by Paragraphs
10 and 11 of this Special Condition).
The Permittee, within six (6) months of the effective date of this Permit, shall post notice, for each CSO, as indicated in Paragraph
7
of this Special Condition, which discharges to a sensitive area. Notice shall be posted at the point of discharge and/or potentially
impacted downstream sensitive areas,
as determined by the IEPA.
The Permittee shall implement the pollution prevention plan approved by the IEPA on November
26, 1997.
Sensitive Area Considerations
7.
Sensitive areas are any water In the immediate area of the discharge point designated as an Outstanding National Resource Water,
found to contain either shellfish beds or threatened or endangered aquatic species or their habitat. used for primary contact recreation.
or within the protection area for
a
drinking water intake structure.
The IEPA has previously determined
(March
19, 1997)
that outfall(s)
003, 004, 005, 006
discharge to sensitive area(s). Since that
time, the Permittee has installed time monitoring at thF'se outfalls to quantify frequency and duration of discharge. Within fifteen
(15)
months of the effective date of this Permit, the Permittee shall submit two (2) copies of
a
report indicating the frequency and duration
data for these outfalls for the first
twelVe (12) months of discharges from these outfalls under this Permit. The IEPA will review these
reports
to determine if additional corrective action is necessary at any or all of these outfalls.
If
additional corrective action is
necessary, the Permittee shall submit two (2) copies of either a schedule to relocate, control, or treat discharges from these outfalls
within three
(3) months of receiving the letter from IEPA indicating that additional corrective action is needed. If none of these are
possible, the Permittee shall submit adequate justification as to why these are not possible. Such justification shall be in accordance
with Section II.C.3 of the National
CSO Control Policy. The IEPA has df'termined that none of the other outfalls listed in this Special
Condition discharge
to sensitive areas. However, this Permit may be reopened and modified. with Public Notice, to include additional
CSO controls for these outfalls if information becomes available that causes the IEPA to reverse this determination and/or to include
a schedule for relocating, controlling,
or treating eso flows to sensitive areas. If none of these are possible, the Permittee shall
submit adequate justification at that time as to why these are not possible. Such justification shall be in accordance with Section II.C.3
of the National
CSO Control Policy.
~rational
and Maintenance Plans
8.
The IEPA reviewed and accepted the CSO operational and maintenance plan ('CSO O&M plan") on February
19, 1998
prepared for
this sewerage system. The Permittee shall review and revise, if needed, the CSO O&M plan to reflect system changes. If revisions
are made, two (2) copies of the revised CSO O&M pian and signed copies of the 'CSO Operational Plan CheCklist', one (1) with
original signatures, shall
be submitted to the IEPA within nino (9) months of the effective date of this Permit. Such submittal shall
clearly indicate what sections
of the plan !-lave been revised and what those specific revisions are.
If
no revisions to the CSO O&M
plan are made; the Permittee shall report such to the IEPA in writing within nina (9) months of the effective date of this Penni\,
Following IEPA administrative acceptance
of the revised eso O&M plan. an updated CSC O&M plan shall be kept on file at the
sewage treatment works or other acceptable location.
The objectives of the eso O&M plan are to reduce the total loading of pollutants entering the receiving stream. These plans, tailored
to the local governments's collection and waste treatment systems, will include mechanisms and specific procedures where applicable
to ensure:
a. Collection system inspection:
b. Sewer, catch basin, and regulator cleaning and maintenance;
Page 13
c. Collection system replacement, where necessary;
d. Detection and elimination of illegal connections;
e. Detection and elimination of dry weather overtlows;
f. The collection system is to be operated to maximize storage capacity and delay storm entry into the system; and,
g. The treatment and collection systems are operated to maximize treatment.
Sewer
Use Ordinances
9. The Permittee, within six (6) months of the effective date of this Permit, shall review and where necessary, modify its existing sewer
use ordinance to ensure it contains provisions addressing the conditions below. If no ordinance exists, such ordinance shall be
developed and implemented within six (6) months from the effective date of this Permit. Sewer use ordinances are to contain specific
provisions
to:
a. prohibit introduction of new inflow sources to the sanitary sewer system;
b. require that new construction tributary to the combined sewer system to be designed to minimize and/or delay inflow contribution
to the combined sewer system;
c. require that inflow sources on the combined sewer system be connected to a storm sewer, within a reasonable period of time, if
a storm sewer becomes available;
d. provide that any new building domestic waste connection shall be distinct from the building inflow connection, to facilitate
disconnection if a storm sewer
becomes available; and,
e. assure that CSO impacts from non-domestic sources are minimized by determining which non-domestic discharges, if any, are
tributary to CSO's and reviewing, and, if necessary, modifying the sewer use ordinance to control pollutants in these discharges.
Upon completion of
the review of the sewer use ordinance, the Permittee shall notify the IEPA in writing that such review is complete
and that the Permittee's sewer use ordinance is in compliance with this Special Condition.
Compliance with Water Quality Standards
10. Pursuant to Section 301 of the federal Clean Water Act and 40 CFR §122.4. discharges from outfaHs listed in this Special Condition
