Honeywell Aerospace - Wastewater Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for Honeywell Aerospace in Minneapolis.
Honeywell Aerospace manufactures avionics equipment and controls at its facility in Minneapolis. Wastewater from this facility is created from cooling water used in product testing.The non-contact cooling water does not require treatment to meet current permit requirements. The facility discharges to the Mississippi River at an average rate of 260,000 gallons per day and a maximum rate of 305,000 gallons per day.
The draft water quality permit adds monitoring for sulfate, which is necessary when downstream waters are used for wild rice production. The facility has certified that it qualifies for no exposure coverage under the industrial stormwater general permit.
Wastewater from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could adversely affect the water quality in area wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes. Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. All wastewater must be treated before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life. Permits are regularly reviewed and updated as they expire, allowing the MPCA to incorporate new information about the impacts of pollutants on the environment in future permits.
