D&L Foundry has applied for a State Waste Discharge Permit modification in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and Chapter 173-216 Washington Administrative Code (WAC).

D&L Foundry presently owns and operates a gray and ductile foundry which discharges to the Moses Lake Dune's Treatment Facility. The requested modification will reduce permit limits for Flow from an average monthly/daily max of 106,000 gpd to an average monthly of 10,000 gpd and a maximum daily of 20,000 gpd; remove the requirement to monitor cooling tower flow separately from total wastewater flow; remove the requirement to include water bills with discharge monitoring reports and reduce the frequency of specific parameters from monthly to quarterly. 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 for modification 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.
