ADDITIONAL DATA FOR TEMPORARY OPERATION PERMIT
(For Existing Sources Not Meeting Department Standards)
Justification for Temporary Operation Permit Request
A, Attach additional sheets responding to the following items:
1. The facts and reasons which support that:
a. the applicant has a waste for which no feasible and acceptable method of treatment or disposal is known and the applicant
is making a bona fide effort through research and other means to discover and implement such a method;
b, the applicant needs permission to pollute the waters within the state for a period of time necessary to complete research,
planning, construction, installation or operation of an approved abatement facility or alternate waste disposal system;
c. therp is no present reasonable, alternative means of disposing of applicant's waste other than by discharging into waters of
the sta te;
d. the denial of a temporary operation permit would work an extreme hardship upon the applicant;
e, granting of a temporary operation permit will be in the public interest;
f. the schedule for meeting compliance outlined in c. is reasonable;
g. the discharge will not be unreasonably destructive to the quality of the receiving waters,
2. The damage or harm resulting, or which may result, to the quality of the receiving water should the department grant a tem-
porary operation permit or an extension to an existing temporary operation permit.
3. Any advantages or disadvantages to resillents and the environment in the affected area resulting from the department granting
or denying a temporary operation permit or an extension to an existing temporary operation permit.
