1. By September 1, 2007, the permittee shall conduct a study to assess the cost and
feasibility for this facility to meet a proposed Total Nitrogen (as N) goal of 8.0 mg/l
and Total Phosphorus (as P) goal of 1.5 mg/l as annual average concentrations in the
effluent. The study will include operational and capital costs for 1) operational
changes, if feasible, 2) physical and chemical treatment additions, and 3) biological
treatment additions to meet the stated goals.
2. Within two months of completing the study, the permittee shall provide the study
results to KDHE.

Sludge disposal shall be in accordance with the 40 CFR Part 503 sludge regulations.
E. PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
The permittee shall implement and administer the pretreatment program as approved by the
Kansas Department of Health & Environment or the Environmental Protection Agency, in
accordance with the General Pretreatment Regulations, 40 CFR Part 403.
F. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS
1. Whole Effluent Toxicity:
a. Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing shall be conducted once in calendar
year 2005 and annually thereafter. The 25% Inhibition Concentration, IC25, shall
be equal to or greater than 47% effluent. The test procedures shall be in
accordance with the EPA document, Short-Term Methods for Estimatina the Chronic
Toxici tv of Effluents and Receivina Waters to Freshwater Oraanisms, fourth

and Ceriodaphnia dubia (water flea) within a dilution series of 0%, 20%, 35%,
47%, 75%, and 100% effluent. KDHE reserves the right to increase or decrease
testing frequency based upon compliance history and toxicity testing results.
b. If the WET test results indicate the IC25 is equal to or greater than 47%
effluent, the effluent has passed the toxicity test and the test report shall be
due with the next scheduled Discharge Monitoring Report.
c. If the WET test results indicate the IC25 is less than 47% effluent, the effluent
has failed the toxicity test and the permittee shall immediately notify KDHE by
telephone at(785) 296-5517 and submit to KDHE a copy of the test report within
five days of receipt of the information. KDHE reserves the right to require the
permittee to take such actions as are reasonable to identify and remedy any
identified or predicted toxic conditions in the receiving stream outside of the
mixing zone which is caused by the permittee's effluent.
