    ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    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.

    Re:
    City of Rock Island
    Rock Island - Main STP
    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.

    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.

    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
