For air emissions, provide data, calculations, models, and reliable literature sources for each wastewater stream you propose to release for the associated release or disposal method. Include: the volume(s), generated per unit of time, of the release substance; concentration of substance(s), and their physical or biological characteristics; fate and transport and potential environmental effect(s)of the substance(s); discharge rate per unit of time and per unit of production; maximum emission rates based on the design of the industrial site; typical emission rates based on current operations and throughput of the industrial site; whether the discharge or emissions are continuous or intermittent, and the frequency (if intermittent); and estimates of seasonal and/or monthly variability for each stream. Assessment of Proposed Construction Considerations What environmental risks or objectives must be addressed solely during project’s construction phase? How will they be addressed or achieved? How will reclamation materials be conserved and stored for future reclamation of the site? Information submitted in this section is intended to identify and evaluate pollution prevention and environmental management requirements during the construction phase of the project, as well as describe the conservation or preservation of reclamation materials. Smaller operations often do not have extended construction operations, therefore requirements concerning wastewater or air releases during this phase may not be substantial. Proposed Changes to Operations What new, or changes to existing, operating and environmental management systems are proposed? This section requires the applicant to evaluate the need for, and propose changes to, the various on-going monitoring and reporting systems, as well as operating, training, management, and maintenance systems because they contribute to ensure the designed environmental controls have met the stated environmental goals, requirements and limits. A groundwater quality monitoring program must be designed and implemented at all approved industrial facilities where there is a risk of impact on groundwater quality from substances released from the activity. Groundwater monitoring is mandatory at facilities listed in Appendix B; however, groundwater monitoring may also be required at other facilities.
