§ 35.150-1 Basin control plans.

Any basinwide plan for the control or abatement of water pollution must adequately take into account all, or such as may be appropriate, of the following:

(a) Sources of pollution. An identification list of all significant point sources of waste discharges (municipal, industrial, agricultural, and others) and of all significant nonpoint sources of water quality degradation.

(b) Volume of discharge. The average daily volume of discharge produced by each waste discharger. Cooling water, or cooling water which is contaminated by industrial waste or sewage shall be reported separately. Storm water and mixed storm water and sewage shall be identified and reported separately in terms of frequency-volume relationships.

(c) Character of effluent. The major characteristics of each such waste discharge together with a measurement of their relative strength or concentrations including but not limited to:

(d) Present treatment. A brief description of the type of treatment being given by each discharger, together with a statement of the degree of treatment currently being achieved.

(e) Water quality effect. A brief description of the effect of discharges and abatement practices upon the quality of the water in the basin, and the anticipated effectiveness of the projects or activities proposed to improve the quality of the water.

(f) Detailed abatement program. Identify all waste discharges for which present treatment is less than required by approved water quality standards, or which will degrade water quality below standards. For each such discharge so

identified, furnish an abatement schedule containing the following:

(1) Level of treatment to be required expressed in percentage of reduction of BOD and/or any other significant parameters required pursuant to applicable Federal, State, and interstate laws, regulations, and orders.

(2) Volume of flow for which waste treatment facilities will be designed.

(3) Estimated completion dates for preliminary plans, for final design, for construction, and for operation of waste treatment facilities.

(d) Combination or integration of waste treatment facilities into a waste treatment system so as to achieve efficiency and economy of such treatment.

(e) Practicality and feasibility of treating domestic and industrial waste in a combined waste treatment facility or integrated waste treatment system.

(f) Need for and capacity to deal with waste from sewers which carry storm water or both storm water and sewage or other wastes.

(g) Waste discharges presently in, or anticipated for the planning area.

(h) Effect of proposed waste treatment facilities upon the quality of the water within the planning area with reference to other waste discharges and to applicable water quality standards.
