About this file
This document is a Wastewater Discharge SPDES Permit Equivalent issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant GM38 located in Bethpage, NY. The permit authorizes the Department of the Navy to discharge treated remediation wastewater from two outfalls (001 and 002) into groundwater, with an effective date of September 1, 2017 and expiration date of August 31, 2027. The permit includes detailed monitoring requirements for various chemical parameters such as 1,1-Dichloroethane, Tetrachloroethene, Trichloroethene, and others, with monthly grab sampling and continuous flow monitoring specified.
The document provides extensive technical details about the groundwater treatment process, including monitoring locations for both existing and new treatment systems. Key additional conditions include: only site-generated wastewater is authorized, discharge is not permitted until engineering submissions are approved, monitoring must be conducted using sensitive test procedures, and any water treatment chemicals must be pre-approved by the department. The permit requires reporting of both concentration and mass loadings for most parameters, and specifies contact information for submitting monitoring data and modification requests to the Division of Environmental Remediation and the Regional Water Engineer.
