<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This layer contains the locations, facility names and permit numbers for NPDES permits that may be sources of E. coli, including; industrial storm water, sanitary wastewater facilities, biosolids land-applications, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and municipal storm water. Different types of permits have different colors and shapes to represent them on the mapper (Layer updated: 11/22/2022). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Storm water can become contaminated by illicit connections, improper garbage disposal, contact with industrial materials/waste, and pet or wildlife waste. Non-industrial sanitary facilities are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and stabilization lagoons (WWSLs), which treat sewage and have discharges to surface waters. These dischargers have permit conditions that they must follow, including monitoring and discharge limits, to ensure the E. coli water quality standard is not exceeded because of the discharge. Active or passive disinfection and other treatment is required, depending on the type of facility.

CAFOs have permit conditions designed to eliminate discharges and reduce contamination of surface water. CAFO facility locations are now contained in their own separate layer. CAFO waste land-application sites are not currently represented in any unified GIS layer. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>EGLE strives for accuracy, but the facility location information is supplied by the permit applicant and may contain errors. To learn more, see the Statewide E. coli TMDL, Section 7 (NPDES Discharges) available at http://www.michigan.gov/EcoliTMDL. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
