Permit requirements and conditions are representative of those contained in similar permits in the state for car washes.  Effluent Limits have been developed such that the waste treatment system should protect water quality.   However, this permit is subject to modification if future evidence, monitoring results, or nuisance conditions indicate a higher degree of treatment is required to maintain water quality in the receiving stream.  There is no monitoring proposed for this permitted discharge. The permit conditions and requirements are based on the “State of Mississippi Water Quality Criteria” and the “State of Mississippi Wastewater Regulations”.  One special condition of the existing permit is the following:

The discharge from the permitted outfall(s) shall cease and connection made to a regional sewer system when the sewer system is available in the 	area. At that time, the discharge from the system shall be terminated.

This condition is being removed from the permit as this condition should have never been in the permit as based on memo by Dallas Baker regarding a conversation he had with Mr. Gary Miller, the public works director for the City of Flowood on January 13, 2005.  A more recent call was placed to the public works director on 2/11/2019.  Mr. Miller still does not object to them not connecting to the sanitary sewer system.  Mr. Miller indicated he would require Blue Sky to pay a surcharge for any storm water infiltration into the sanitary sewer system as the City of Flowood would face similar charges from the City of Jackson.
