Swanberg Braun, Joseph (MPCA); Bill Kalar RE: The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park & Resort questions From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Good morning Greg- Thank you for the email. I have looked at Minnesota Rules to ensure we have the correct answer for you. I copied the Rules that I reviewed and have included them below for you. The description you gave me below, at 6,300 gallons per day with no surface discharge, is a mid-sized treatment system and does not need a State Disposal System (SDS) permit. Otter Tail County will be the regulatory authority for this facility. Please contact Bill Kalar at the County to ensure you follow the local regulations. If, in the future, you choose to expand and the design flow reaches 10,000 gallons per day, an SDS permit will be needed at that time. Good luck with your new RV Park! Holly 7081.0040 STATE REGULATION. §Subpart 1. Agency regulation. All MSTS must be designed and operated according to this chapter, except as modified through an ordinance in compliance with chapter 7082 and Minnesota Statutes, section 115.55. All MSTS must be designed, installed, inspected, pumped, and operated by a qualified employee under part 7083.1010 or a licensed business under part 7083.0710. All MSTS must conform to applicable state statutes and rules. A. The owner or owners of a single SSTS or a group of SSTS under common ownership must obtain an SDS permit from the agency according to chapter 7001 when all or part of proposed or existing soil dispersal components are within one-half mile of each other and the combined flow from all proposed and existing SSTS is greater than 10,000 gallons per day. For proposed SSTS, the flow must be determined according to item D. For existing SSTS, the flow is determined by the greater B. of: (1) the average maximum seven-day measured flow; or (2) the flow determined according to item D. C. An SDS permit is required for any subsurface sewage treatment system or group of subsurface sewage treatment systems that the commissioner determines has the potential or an increased potential to cause adverse public health or environmental impacts if not regulated under a state permit. Conditions for these permits include systems in environmentally sensitive areas, unsubstantiated or unexpected flow volumes, and systems requiring exceptional operation, monitoring, and management. 1 $ GRH C \ D. Flow amounts to calculate whether an SDS permit is required must be determined according to part 7081.0110. The highest calculated value of the various methods in Table I under part 7081.0130. subpart 1, must be used to make this determination, with no reduction allowed. An SDS permit is not required if a factor of safety is added to the design flow that results in a design flow that is in excess of the SDS permit threshold. 7081.0060 LOCAL REGULATION. MSTS must be regulated under local ordinances in compliance with this chapter as described in Minnesota Statutes, section 115.55. Local administrative requirements for design review, construction permit issuance, construction inspections, variance procedures, enforcement, operational requirements, and other administrative processes must be according to chapter 7082.

Swanberg (~mailto:decovs34@hotmail.com1 Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 9:42 AM To: Christensen, Holly (MPCA) Subject: The Homestead at Ottertail RV Park & Resort questions GoocJ Morning Holly, I'm contacting you regarding the RV Park we are building in Otter Tail county. I'm looking for clarification regarding the need for an MPCA permit for our subsurface wastewater treatment system. We are creating 50 RV sites with utilities trenched into an additional 13 sites for a total of 63 sites. This is what we are designing / building now. It is my understanding that as long as we are designing and building a system for less than 10,000 gallons per day (ours would be 6300 gallons per day) we will not need an MPCA permit for our subsurface wastewater treatment system. I also understand that if in the future we increase the number of sites, within mile of the existing RV park and that increase causes us to exceed 10,000 gallons per day, we would need an MPCA permit before we could build the addition to the RV park. My question for you is - Do we need an MPCA permit for our project and if not what agency would oversee / permit our subsurface wastewater treatment system? Thank you for your help with these questions, Greg Swanberg 2 » ISAarsha Bowman Marsha Bowman Thursday, November 08, 2012 9:18 AM 'Beth Swanberg' RE: Swanberg's RV Campground From: Sent: To: Subject: Thanks Beth, This information will be added to your file Have a great day!
