City of Avon - Wastewater Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the city of Avon’s wastewater treatment facility.
The city of Avon applied for a reissued water quality permit for its wastewater treatment facility. The facility is designed to treat 422,000 gallons per day and discharges to Spunk Creek.
The draft permit does not authorize any construction or changes to the facility.
The city of Avon has a 15-year variance from the total chloride water quality standard due to the cost of treatment. The EPA approved this variance on Feb. 25, 2020, and the variance went into effect on March 15, 2020, at permit issuance.
Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. 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. Permits are enforced through a combination of self-reporting and compliance monitoring.
