RE: Headworks Limit Changes
Headworks limits in the City Code provide assurance that the City's treatment plants are capable
of processing the pollutant loads received in a way that protects the receiving stream waters, the
plant processes, sludge disposal site soil integrity, and DNR permit compliance.
The changes in the headworks limits are needed at this time primarily due to the new
configuration and processes incorporated into the City's treatment facilities. The South Plant is
doubling in treatment capacity and the North Plant is being reduced to half of its current capacity.
The new facilities will produce a different relationship between the pollutant loadings, the plant
microorganisms, and their removal of pollutants. Besides the treatment capacity changes, the
EPA has re-evaluated treatment processes and water quality models to reflect better scientific
understanding gained over the last 20 years.
One new parameter is being added - molybdenum - due to high levels which have been received
in recent years. The high levels of molybdenum have significantly increased treatment costs,
especially in sludge disposal. The code has been used to enforce restrictions on this element, but
the addition to the headworks limit list will provide dischargers with a numeric value to use in
evaluating future discharge volumes. Some parameters are being removed from the list because
they have not been significantly present for twenty years, while their presence on the list does
increase testing requirements and costs at times.
Seven out of fourteen parameters at the North Plant will be more restrictive, and two remain
about the same. Two at the South Plant will be more restrictive and two stay about the same.
The parameters that are less restrictive have been carefully evaluated with EPA approved
calculations and actual Iowa City plant removal efficiencies. The results indicate no detrimental
effects will be present and are in line with EPA/DNR environmental protection requirements.
To make these changes to the City Code, DNR required a 45-day public notification period in
which to receive comments and requests for a public hearing. No comments or requests tbr a
hearing were received in this period. The DNR has reviewed the calculations and the proposed
limits and has given approval of the changes.
