The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has reviewed the reques t for modification of the above-referenced NPDES Permit and issued a public notice based on that request. The final decision of the Agency is to modify the Permit as follows:

The permit was modified to remove Demineralizer Regenerant Waste from outfall 001 and AOl and replace it with Reverse Osmosis Backwash.

Enclosed is a copy of the modified Permit. You have the right to appeal this modification to the Illinois Pollution Control Board within a 35 day period following the modification date shown on the first page of the permit.

Should you have questions concerning the Permit, please Contac t Leslie Lowry at 217/782-0610.
