MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION PERMITS
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
1) Material, labor and equipment for temporary erosion control measures and
the acceptable maintenance thereof shall be provided during the life of the
project, to effectively prevent water pollution through the use of be~s,
dikes, dams, sediment basins, fiber mats, netting, gravel, mulches,
grasses, slope drains, and other erosion control devices or methods.
Surface cover materials shall be anchored to reasonably prevent their
entering waters of the State by erosion or rising water levels.'
2) Temporary pollution control measures shall be included for all construction
activity associated with the project where such work is necessary, for
example borrow pit operations, haul roads, equipment storage, and plant or
waste disposal sites:
3) The temporary pollution control provisions contained herein shall be
coordinated with any permanent erosion features to the extent practical to
assure economical, effective, and continuous erosion control throughout the
construction and post-construction period.
4) The surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and
grubbing, excavation, borrow and fill operations shall be minimized and
immediate permanent or temporary control measures shall be taken to prevent
contamination of adjacent streams and other water courses, lakes, ponds,
and areas of water impoundment. Cut slopes shall be stabilized by methods
such as seeding and mulching as the excavation proceeds to the extent
considered practicable. Slopes shall be graded properly to minimize
erosion.
5) The Applicant will be required to incorporate all permanent erosion control
features into the project at the earliest practicable time. Provisions
should be made for continual checking and maintenance of all control
measures, particularly during periods of rainfall, to ensure maximum
effectiveness. Temporary pollution control measures will be used to
correct conditions that' develop during construction that were not foreseen
during the design state; that are needed temporarily to control erosion
that develops during nonnal construction practices, but are not associated
with the penmanent control features on the project.
6) The Applicant will control the area of excavation, borrow and embankment
operations commensurate with his progress with finish grading, mulching,
seeding, and other such permanent erosion control measures. Should
seasonal limitations make such coordination unrealistic, temporary erosion
control measures shall be taken to the extent feasible.
7) Oil and other liquid substances capable of polluting water of the State
will be stored in accordance with the requirements af MPCA Miscellaneous
Water Quality Rules Chapter 7100.0010 - 7100.0090 (formerly Minnesota Code
of Agency Rules 6 MCAR 4.8004) (formerly WPC-4).
-2-
8) Stream Bank Stabilization shall be utilized if it is needed to prevent
erosion, and shall be constructed of materials which will not pollute
waters of the State.
9) If an effluent will result from the project the Contractor shall submit to
the MPCA plans, for approval, to provide for the following:
a) Water from dewatering operations including effluents from construction
activities shall only be discharged when the effluent complies with
the applicable water quality and effluent standards. Dewatering shall
be performed using well points where feasible and practical, all other
dewatering shall be performed so as not to result in increased
turbidity in the receiving water. This may require the use of
desilting ponds to reduce suspended solids. When the MPCA requires,
permits must be obtained.
b) A Disposal System Permit shall be obtained by the Contractor from the
MPCA prior to any hydraulic dredging or tunneling, or other activity
including an effluent which may contain potential pollutants.
10) This permit shall not release the permittee from any liability or
obligation imposed by Minnesota or Federal statutes or local ordinances and
shall remain in force subject to all conditions and limitations now or
hereafter imposed by law. . The permit shall be permissive only and shall
not be construed as stopping or limiting any claims against the permittee
for damage or injury to persons or property, or any waters of the state
resulting from any acts, operations or omissions of the permittee, its
agents, contractors or assigns for damage to state property, or for any
violation of the terms or conditions of this permit. .
11) No assignment of this permit shall be effective until it is executed ~
writing and signed by the parties thereto and thereafter approved by the
Agency.

without the written consent of the Agency.
13) The use of the disposal system shall be limited to the treatment and/or
disposal of the sewage, industrial waste, other waste materials or
substances described in the plans and/or permit application and associated
material filed with the Agency.
14) The Agency may modify, suspend, or. revoke in whole or in part, this permit
after giving notice and providing an opportunity for a public hearing or by
taking direct enforcement action, or any just cause including failure:
(a) to comply with the terms stated herein, or (b) to comply with Agency
water quality regulations and standards presently in force. Nothing herein
shall prohibit the Agency from exercising its emergency powers.

regulations, standards, orders or statutes more stringent than those now in
existence or prevent the enforcement and application of such regulations,
standards, orders or statutes to the permittee.
16) The Agency, its officers, employees and agents review and comment upon
engineering reports and construction plans and specifications regarding
this permit solely for the limited purpose of determining whether such
report, plans and specifications will enable the facilities subject thereto
to reasonably comply with the regulations and criteria of the Agency.

INFORMATION RELATIVE TO
REVIEV OF PLANS.AND PERMIT APPLICATIONS
June 1, 1992
The review of plans and specifications for sewage, industrial waste or other
waste disposal systems and application for permits is made in accordance with
the authority conferred by law (see MS, Section 115.07). Approval of plans and
permits is based upon the assumption that the information provided by the
applicant is correct and that all necessary legal requirements have been or will
be satisfied.
Plans for sewage, industrial.waste or other waste disposal systems are examined
with regard to the design features which apply to operation and maintenance of
the treatment works or sewer system, the degree of treatment to be provided, the
effectiveness and reliabilitY,of the system or methods employed, and COMpliance
with applicable standards systems. The bulletin entitled Recommended Standards
for Vastewater Facilities, 1990 Edition, and supplements thereto, as vell as
other information are used in examination of the design, operation and
maintenance aspects of the proposed system.
Sewer plans are recommended for approval on the basis that the system is to
collect only domestic sewage and such industrial or other waste as may have been
provided for in the design. Foundation or footing drains to collect ground
water and roof drains or other surface water conduits should not be connected to
the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and inspection by a
qualified representative of the owner should be provided at all times during
construction to assure that the project is constructed in compliance with the
approved plans. and specifications.
The Agency assumes no responsibility for the integrity of structures or physical
features, or for the reliability, durability or efficiency of specific items of
propriety equipment or material. All applicable federal, state and local laws,
regulations or ordinances must be followed in the design, location. and
construction of proposed sever systems or treatment works.
The Agency reserves the right to withdraw its approval of plans if construction
is not undertaken within a reasonable period after issuance of the permit.
