SGL Automotive Carbon Fiber, LLC has applied for a State Waste Discharge Permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and Chapter 173-216 Washington Administrative Code (WAC).
SGL Automotive Carbon Fiber, LLC presently owns and will begin operating a facility which manufactures carbon fiber thread. The facility will generate about 60,000 gallons per day of process wastewater. The majority of this flow will discharge to the Port of Moses Lake's Land Treatment System. SGL Automotive will also use some process wastewater for landscape irrigation and for toilet flushing within a process building. The toilet flushing water, along with other domestic wastewater from the facility, will discharge to the City of Moses Lake Larson Treatment Plant. The wastewater, following treatment, must meet the requirements of the Washington State Water Pollution Control Act and applicable regulations for a permit to be issued.
Following an evaluation of the application and other available information, a draft permit has been developed. A tentative determination has been made on the effluent limitations and special permit conditions that will prevent and control pollution. A final determination will not be made until all timely comments received in response to this notice have been evaluated.
