            or

Mr. Livingston has reviewed the permit.  As he has no objections, he would like the waiver form signed and submitted to ADWR so the Final Permit can be issued.

 

Testing requirements were discussed.  Mr. Andrews advised it is his understanding the District will take meter readings, samples and submit those samples for testing.  Mr. Livingston will pay all costs associated with those tests.  He further advised that due to the extent of tests involved, the District may need to hire someone to manage the facility.  Once discharging has commenced, Mr. Andrews will keep the Board advised of the time involved monitoring the facility.
