   In addition to the effluent limits, the permit contains the following major special conditions: final water quality based effluent limitation for barium and temperature; requirement to submit toxic reduction evaluation for barium and plan of study to meet temperature limitations; conditions for future permit modification; procedures for granting time extensions to achieve final water quality based effluent limitations; and procedures for demonstrating alternative thermal effluent limitations.

   PA0002135, Industrial Waste, Penreco, 138 Petrolia Street, Karns City, PA 16041. This proposed facility is located in Karns City Borough, Butler County.

   Description of Proposed major discharge of treated industrial waste, treated stormwater and untreated stormwater, is in watershed 17-C and classified for WWF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride and phenolics, the existing/proposed downstream potable water supply considered during the evaluation is the Allegheny River and the Pennsylvania American Water Company--Butler District at Emlenton, approximately 21.5 miles below point of discharge.

   The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 Interim are based on a design flow of 0.347 MGD.
