Bonanza and Hiawatha <br />~ <br />~ have no discharge lagoons. <br /> <br />There were 42 industrial NPDES permit issued during this <br /> <br />time period. All discharges were revised according to the <br /> <br />1977 Forum Policy. One power plant NPDES permits was issued <br /> <br />during 1982. <br /> <br />The plant, which existed before the no <br /> <br />discharge policy, was limited to the historic discharge rate <br /> <br />since information submitted indicated it is not practical to <br /> <br />contain all of the waste water. <br /> <br />Twenty-nine of the industrial permits were for mines <br /> <br />with potential discharge of intercepted ground water. Of the <br /> <br />seven discharging mines, only the existing Rio Algom opera- <br /> <br />tion discharges more than one ton of salt/day and exceeds the <br />downstream Colorado River Salinity Standards. The company <br />contains all process water and uses approximately one half <br />the saline mine water for dust control on the tailings pond. <br /> <br />The company has also submitted information on the practica- <br /> <br />bility of achieving no discharge of salt. <br /> <br />Wyoming -The State of Wyoming has the authority for the <br /> <br />issuance of NPDES permits. During the period one industrial <br /> <br />permit and two municipal permits were reissued. All reissued <br /> <br />permits comply with the Forum policy. Two new industrial <br /> <br />permits were issued during the period but neither of the <br />discharges will impact on Colorado River salinity. <br /> <br />-27- <br />
