33 Miss. Code R. § 2-3-N

Current through June 25, 2024
Appendix 33-2-3-N - National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Siting Criteria Regulations

The following requirements apply to those drinking water treatment facilities that have or will construct wastewater treatment facilities necessary to treat waste generated by their drinking water treatment facilities.

The loan recipient must insure that all current regulations of the Commission on Environmental Quality and the Environmental Quality Permit Board are complied with during the planning, design, and construction of any wastewater treatment facilities associated with this DWSIRLF loan project. These regulations include "Wastewater Permit Regulations for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Underground and Injection Control (UIC) and State Operating Permits" and "Guidelines for Review of Siting Criteria in Applications for Air and Water Pollution Control Permits". It is the loan recipient's responsibility to insure that the project is in compliance with these regulations and all future amendments. Also, the loan recipient must comply with the following requirements:

(1) All planning documents submitted to the Department for review must clearly indicate that a 150 foot buffer zone between the wastewater treatment facility and the nearest adjoining property line is provided. This must be shown on a plan view of the drinking water treatment facility site. If it is not possible to provide a 150 foot buffer zone, the planning document must indicate that a written waiver from the adjoining property owner(s) will be necessary.

(2) All design plans submitted to the Department for review must clearly display the 150 foot buffer zone for the wastewater treatment facility. If it is not possible to provide a 150 foot buffer zone, a written waiver from the adjoining property owner(s) must also accompany the design plans. When a waiver is necessary, it is strongly suggested that this be obtained prior to substantial work on the treatment facility design.

An NPDES permit application must accompany all design plans for wastewater treatment facilities, if a permit or permit modification is required.

(3) All appraisals, negotiations, purchase agreements, and site certificates must include the required buffer zones, unless a waiver was previously submitted along with the design plans.
