7.a. If applying for outfalls under Option 2, are any of the proposed Option 2 outfalls DIRECT DISCHARGES*that
would require the use of assimilative capacity credits for salt and sodium in the Powder River?
YES
NO Not applicable. This facility is located within the Belle Fourche River watershed.
If “yes”, please complete Table 5.
*DIRECT DISCHARGE means those discharges that are not or are only partially contained within reservoirs.
Discharges to reservoirs that only overtop and spill during storm events are not subject to assimilative capacity
requirements. Direct discharges that can meet Powder River ambient concentrations for TDS and sodium are also
not subject to assimilative capacity requirements.
7.b. If applying for outfalls under Option 2, is it possible that INTENTIONAL RESERVOIR RELEASES* will be
requested for any of the reservoirs receiving CBM discharges under this permit?
YES
NO Not applicable. This facility is located within the Belle Fourche River watershed.
*INTENTIONAL RESERVOIR RELEASE means purposeful and intentional reservoir releases (opening a valve or
pumping out a reservoir) to provide freeboard within a reservoir. Discharges that occur solely in response to storm
events are not considered intentional reservoir releases, and do not require assimilative capacity credits.
Intentional reservoir releases are authorized on a case-by-case basis and require WDEQ approval above and
beyond a WYPDES surface discharge permit (authorization application form available on WDEQ website).

10a. Please provide the maximum anticipated discharge rate, in million gallons per day (MGD), from this facility:
The maximum anticipated discharge rate from this facility is 2.71 MGD.
10b. Does this facility rely on containment in reservoirs (of any type) as part of the water management strategy?
YES
NO Reservoirs are not part of the water management strategy for this facility.
10c. If NO is checked above, please proceed to item #11. If YES is checked above, the permittee is required to conduct
an internal evaluation of the ability of the reservoir(s) at this facility to contain discharges. Based on the results of this
evaluation, please describe the ability of the reservoir(s) at this facility to contain effluent and surface run-off from
precipitation events. If there are multiple reservoirs at this facility which have different reservoir containment
capabilities, please describe separately, identifying reservoirs using reservoir name. For example, “Reservoir A will
contain all effluent and will only overtop during a storm event of any magnitude; Reservoir B will contain all effluent
plus surface run-off from up to the 50 year/24 hour storm event, etc…”
Not applicable. Reservoirs are not part of the water management strategy for this facility.
The internal evaluation does NOT need to be submitted to the WYPDES Program as part of this application. By
completing item 10b and signing this application, the permittee certifies that the reservoirs at this facility are capable of
meeting the containment abilities which have been provided. The WYPDES Program will use the information provided
above to determine the appropriate reservoir containment requirements that will be established in the permit. If
reservoir containment requirements established in the permit are not met, this may constitute a violation of the permit,
which is subject to full enforcement by the WYPDES Program.

If proposing to use class 4C off-channel pits (option 1A), include footprint outline of the proposed pits. To
denote setback distance, include a distance marker from closest side of pit to the nearest water feature,
floodplain, or stream alluvium. Identify latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (using a minimum of 6
decimal places) for each end point of the setback distance marker.
m. If proposing discharge to a headwater reservoir or to a playa lake (option 1B), include footprint outline of the
proposed impoundment(s). See page 1 of the application form for option 1B impoundment siting requirements.
To denote setback distance from alluvial floodplain areas, include a distance marker from closest side of the
impoundment to the nearest floodplain, or stream alluvium. Identify latitude and longitude in decimal degrees
(using a minimum of 6 decimal places) for each end point of the setback distance marker.
There are no ponds, reservoirs, stock tanks, water quality monitoring stations, irrigation monitoring
points, downstream irrigators, class 4C off-channel pits, headwater reservoirs, or playa lakes associated
with this facility.
Please see the attached permit renewal map for the remaining items listed above.
(If any of the above are not applicable please indicate in the description and include a brief explanation as to
why the item is not applicable.)
12. Describe the control measures that will be implemented to prevent significant damage to or erosion of the receiving
water channel at the point of discharge.
Produced water will be discharged slowly through a vertical, large diameter riser pipe and allowed to flow
down the side of the corrugated pipe to dissipate energy. The ground around the riser will be covered with
rip-rap or scoria and placed at a gentle slope to dissipate energy and minimize erosion prior to entering the
receiving water/impoundment.
13. Describe the control measures that will be implemented to achieve water quality standards and effluent limits. If
proposing to utilize a treatment process, provide a description of the treatment process.
In addition to the construction noted in reply to question 12 above, the discharge riser may include a metal
collar to increase aeration of the produced water. This added aeration will aid in the oxidation of dissolved
metals, particularly iron. The oxidized metal will precipitate out of the flow and be deposited in the rip-rap
or scoria flow paths.
14. Outfall locations must be established as part of a preliminary field reconnaissance survey using GPS or conventional
survey equipment and documented in Table 1. Please document the type of equipment used, the expected accuracy
of your measurements, and a brief rationale for locating the outfalls at the requested sites below.
Outfall locations were determined using a handheld GPS unit with an accuracy of generally 60 feet or better.
The outfalls are located on ephemeral stream channels in locations where the discharged water will benefit
livestock and wildlife.
15. Complete the attached Table 1. Provide all the information requested in the table for each proposed discharge point
or monitoring point. If proposing changes (a major modification) to an existing facility, clearly indicate the desired
changes on the table. Additional tables may be attached. Use the format provided. Option 2 permits, except those
located in the Belle Fourche or Cheyenne River Basins, must include water quality monitoring station locations.
Option 1B headwater reservoir discharges (reservoirs other than playa lakes capable of 50 year, 24 hour stormwater
runoff containment) must include flow monitoring station locations. Option 1A and 1B permits must include
containment unit monitoring station locations. Information related to reservoirs is only required if the facility’s
water management plan includes reservoir containment.
Please see attached Tables 1A and 1B: Outfall Information.
