Chisago Lakes Joint Sewage Treatment Commission - Wastewater Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the Chisago Lakes Joint Sewage Treatment Commission's wastewater treatment facility.


Chisago City applied for a reissued water quality permit for its wastewater treatment facility, which discharges to an unnamed ditch that flows into the Sunrise River. The facility is designed to treat 2.46 million gallons per day.


The draft wastewater permit updates limits and monitoring requirements for phosphorus, five-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, and total nitrogen. The draft permit also adds two new limits for chloride and monitoring requirements for copper.


The facility has applied for a 15-year variance from the chloride water quality standard due to the costs associated with upgrading the facility. The variance still requires the facility to comply with an interim chloride limit for the duration of the variance period, with the ultimate goal of attaining compliance with the final chloride limits at the end of the variance period.
