SUBJECT: WASTELOAD ALLOCATION PETITION
OPEQUON WATER RECLAMATION FACILTTY
The Frederick-Winchester Service Authority has, for some time, been pursuing with the Department of
Environmental Quality, an increase in the nutrient wasteload allocations given to the Opequon Water
Reclamation Facility, under the new Bay Regulations. The Service Authority still strongly believes that,
from its technical review of the facility, which was constructed with nutrient removal capabilities and
placed online in 2002, along with a tiered flow pemat under which the facility has operated, that the
Opequon should be allocated higher nutrient caps than adopted in these regulations.
In an attempt to obtain additional allocations, the Frederick-Winchester Service Authority is preparing to
submit a petition to the State Water Control Boazd for fiuther consideration of the present allocations. It
would be helpful to our efforts if we could receive resolutions of support for this effort from the Frederick
County Board Of Supervisors and the City Council of the City of Winchester to include in our petition. I
have provided a draft from which a final resolution may be constructed.
