RE: Renewal of Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit
Dear Board Members:
The Division of Wastewater recommends approving the Industrial Discharge Permit renewal for Honeywell's Groundwater
Remediation Site at the March 24, 2020 Board of Public Works Meeting.
The permit has modified to require the permittee to monitor for all parameters of concern once per permit cycle, and then
regularly monitor for pollutant parameters expected to be present based on historical analytical data and the contaminants of
concern present at the remediation site. Otherwise, there have been no significant changes to the permit.
If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at (574) 235-5852, or at ltrapp@southbendin.gov.
Please let me know if the Board requests Pretreatment's attendance at the Board Meeting to present this permit.
Sincerely,
14W,
Lauren Trapp

Facility description
Honeywell International, Inc. Naphtha Recovery Well system and VOC Recovery Well system currently act as
water -table depression wells to control groundwater from migrating off -site.
There are four operating VOC Recovery Wells (EW-1-R, EW-2, EW-3, and EW-5-R) and three operating
Naphtha Recovery Wells (E3A, RWB16, and RWB23).
PART I - EFFLUENT LIMITATION
Sample Port and Collection Location
1. Sample monitoring is located at the Naphtha Recovery Well system and VOC Recovery Well
system. Samples are collected from spigots at each well.
2. Sample Sites EW-1-R, EW-2, EW-3, EW-5-R, E3A, RWB16, and RWB23 shall not exceed the
following effluent limitation: Any discharge of water or waste having a pH lower than 6.0 S.U. or
a pH higher than 11.0 S.U. is prohibited. In addition, the permittee's wastewater discharge shall
not exceed the following effluent limitations:

a. Daily Maximum Limit means the maximum allowable discharge limit of a pollutant during
a calendar day or any 24-hour period that represents a calendar day. Where Daily Maximum
Limits are expressed in units of mass, the daily discharge is the total mass discharged over
the course of the day. Where Daily Maximum Limits are expressed in terms of a
concentration, the daily discharge is the arithmetic average measurement of the pollutant
Honeywell Groundwater Remediation Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit page 1 of 39
concentration derived from all measurements taken that day. In the case of samples
collected by the grab method, the daily maximum shall be applied as an Instantaneous
Maximum Allowable Discharge Limit or as an Instantaneous Minimum Allowable
Discharge Limit as follows:
i. Instantaneous Maximum Allowable Discharge Limit — shall mean the
maximum concentration or loading of a pollutant allowed to be
discharged at any time, determined from analysis of any discrete or
composite sample collected, independent of the industrial flow rate and
the duration of the sampling event.
ii. Instantaneous MininlUm Allowable Discharac Limit — shall mean the
minimum concentration of a pollutant allowed to be discharged at any
time, determined from analysis of any discrete or composite sample
collected, independent of the industrial flow rate and the duration of the
sampling event. The lower pH limit is applied as an Instantaneous
Minimum Allowable Discharge Limit.
b. 1 onthly Average Limit means the maximum allowable average of daily discharges over a
calendar month, calculated as the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges measured
during a calendar month divided by the number of daily discharges measured that month.
C. Prohibited: No permittee shall introduce or cause to be introduced certain pollutants,
substances, or wastewater into any public sewers, directly or indirectly into the POTW
including, but not limited to gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other pollutants which
create a fire or explosive hazard to the City's sewer system or POTW.
d. : Closed Cup I lasai join!: this parameter must be monitored using the test methods
specified in 40 CFR 261.21

reference is made in this permit shall be conducted using the methods and procedures approved
in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise specified in an applicable Categorical
Pretreatment Standard.
The following parameters shall be monitored at sample sites EW-1-R, EW-2, EW-3, EW-5-R, E3A, RWB16, and
