| Objectives | The Discharger owns and operates a sawmill and wood-burning cogeneration facility. The sawmill produces approximately 210 million board feet of lumber per year. The cogeneration plant currently produces a gross 27-megawatts (MW) of electric power, and a net 15-20MW, which are sold on the market. The sawmill and the power plant are bordered by Mill Creek to the north and east, Lee Road to the south, and Bell Lane to the west. The facility is located on eight adjoining parcels of land totaling approximately 100 acres. Wastewater is discharged from Discharge Point 001. Discharge Point 001 is the current permitted discharge point for the facility and is located near the settling ponds. However, planned site modifications include moving 001 adjacent to the retention pond and creating storm water discharge points 002 and SW-001. Discharge points -001, 002, and SW-001 discharge to Mill Creek, a water of the United States, and a tributary of Spanish Creek, which is a tributary of the East Branch of the North Fork of the Feather River. Discharge Point 001 discharges wastewater including power plant discharge water, and first flush storm water run-off during the rainy season (typically November through April). Discharge Point 002 will discharge log yard storm water run-off from the log yard only; SW-001 will discharge industrial storm water only. |
