Objectives The Discharger owns and operates a water treatment plant. Raw water is siphoned for treatment either directly from the Forbestown Ditch or from the facilitys 30.9 acre-feet capacity raw water storage reservoir that is supplied by the Forbestown Ditch. The treatment system consists of prechlorination, coagulation, clarification, filtration, and post-chlorination of the finished water. The Facilitys wastewater design flow is 0.070 million gallons daily (mgd). Filter backwash is discharged to one of two settling ponds. The supernatant from the settling ponds discharges into the raw water reservoir (Discharge Point 001); the raw water reservoir discharges a mixture of filter backwash and raw water to an unnamed tributary of the New York Creek (Discharge Point 002), a water of the United States, and a tributary to Dry Creek and the Yuba River (Englebright Dam to Feather River) within the Yuba River Hydrologic Unit, Mildred Lake Hydrologic Subarea (No. 517.13).
