"201" System Issues
Need to address nitrate limits in Bliss permit renewal
(sio,000 budgeted in zoi9 for MPCA permit renewal
assistance)
Need to address inflow and infiltration issues -peak
flows after major storm events are in excess of design
flow (sio,000 budgeted in aoi9 for I&I inspections)
Inadequate reserves for eventual replacement of
system components
Limited capacity for expansion based on current flows
