For clarification purposes, the above referenced additional information is as follows: 1. The existing system has been in operation for over 10 years, and 2. There are no other potable water supply wells in the vicinity of the subject wastewater disposal system, and 3. Samples collected and tested from the potable water supply well at the subject site have shown no indication of contamination from excessive nitrates or fecal coliform, and 4. You plan to include a proviso in the subject Wastewater Disposal Permit requiring that the potable water supply be sampled and tested monthly during the operating season for nitrates and fecal coliform. We appreciate your consideration in soliciting our comments on this permit application. If there are further questions, please call this office at 343-4744.

However, the packet we received contains no information on any special method of treatment, other than to say a septic tank will be utilized. In addition, there is no type of impact statement about the effect of the type and amounts of proposed sewage on the wells serving surrounding single family dwellings. We would expect that the waste discharges associated with fish processing would be particularly high in nitrates, and would certainly wish to see adequate treatment of the wastewater prior to discharge to an absorption area I would appreciate receiving additional informahion on this proposal so that we might comment more specificallly.
