Review of feasibility of implementing additional or new control alternatives to attain water quality standards

Sec. 2.4. An NPDES permit holder shall review the feasibility of implementing additional or new control alternatives to attain water quality standards. The NPDES permit holder shall conduct such a review periodically, but not less than every five (5) years after approval of the long term control plan by the department. The NPDES permit holder shall:

(1) document to the department that the long term control plan has been reviewed;

(2) update the long term control plan as necessary;

(3) submit any amendments to the long term control plan to the department for approval; and

(4) implement control alternatives determined to be cost effective and affordable.

Cost effectiveness may be determined, at the option of the NPDES permit holder, by using a knee of the curve analysis in accordance with section 402(q) of the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1342(q)) and 59 FR 18688.
