The over time. The effluent effluent flowflow from from DSNDSN 462B 462B for for January January 2001 2001 through through February February 2002 2002 was was anan average average of 0.01 of 0.01 MGD MGD and and aa maximum maximum of of 0.03 0.03 MGD, MGD, and and for for the the period period of of April April 1997 1997 through through MarchMarch 2001 2001 the the effluent flow effluent flow waswas an an average average of of 0.02 0.02 MGDMGD and and aa maximum maximum of of 0.07 0.07 MGD MGD (Permit (Permit Summary Summary Table, Table, page page 200f28).
