This facility is a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill.  

III.	EFFLUENT AND RECEIVING STREAM FLOW DATA

Outfall No.	Discharge Type	Total Area Drained	Receiving Stream	Current Status	
001	Storm water	81 acres	Unnamed Tributary of Ichusa Creek	Constructed	
002	Storm water	35 acres	Unnamed Tributary of Ichusa Creek	Constructed	
003	Storm water	26 acres	Unnamed Tributary of Ichusa Creek	Constructed	
004	Storm Water	38 acres	Unnamed Tributary of Ichusa Creek	Constructed	

The discharges from Outfall 001, Outfall 002, Outfall 003, and Outfall 004 consist of non-contact storm water runoff associated with construction, development, and operation of the landfill, except for working face runoff and leachate.  Storm water which comes into contact with solid waste materials is contained and treated as leachate. 

Ichusa Creek is designated as Fish and Wildlife and is located in the Pascagoula River  Basin.  All immediate receiving streams have a 7Q10 flowrate of zero.

***Turbidity outside the limits of a 750-foot mixing zone shall not exceed the background 
      turbidity at the time of discharge by more than 50 NTU.

All parameters shall be monitored semi-annually with a grab sample of the effluent.  Results will be reported annually on a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).  

As is found in the existing permit, several conditions for storm event sampling records, SWPPP certification form, and SWPPP development, components, controls, implementation, and amendments are being added to the proposed permit. 

New SWPPP requirements for all landfills are being added to their NPDES Permits as these permits are being reissued.  As a result, one additional special condition of the permit shall be that the permittee shall submit a revised SWPPP within sixty (60) days of permit reissuance.
