Staff/Department: Carly Persson, Village Administrator
Subject Matter: Marchstone Development: Phase I Earth Disturbing Activities
Meeting Date: Plan Commission – September 14, 2026
Village Board – September 14, 2026
Referral History: Plan Commission – March 2, 2026, Village Board – March 23, 2026
Executive Summary:
Project Background:
Code/Policy Review:
Staff Analysis:
On August 6, 2026, the Marchstone developers requested permission to continue earth-disturbing activities for
Phase I beyond September 15, 2026. Section 83.104 of the Village Municipal Code states: “All earth disturbing
activities for land divisions greater than one acre in size shall occur between May 1 and September 15 each
year.” This request follows the variance approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board in March 2026,
which allowed Phase I earth-disturbing work to begin on March 23, 2026.
The developer provided revised tentative schedules for the remaining Phase I improvements. One schedule
covers the portion of Phase I south of Evergreen Parkway, and the second covers the remaining work north of
Evergreen Parkway. The schedules identify the work anticipated to continue after September 15, 2026.
Variances and waivers from the requirements of Chapter 83 require approval by the Plan Commission and
Village Board. A three-fourths affirmative vote of the entire membership of the Plan Commission is required to
recommend approval or conditional approval. A three-fourths affirmative vote of the entire membership of the
Village Board is then required to grant the variance or waiver.
Section 83.104 of The Village Municipal Code of Ordinances
Section 83.120 Variances and Waivers
Village Engineer Brian Berquist of Town & Country Engineering anticipates that topsoil placement and seeding
will be completed within approximately one week after September 15. Acceptance of the improvements will be
conditioned upon the required stabilization through seed and mulch. The stormwater ponds have been
constructed and are available to collect sediment and runoff during the remaining work and future home
construction.
Some additional earth disturbance will also be necessary for utility work, including trenching and conduit
installation. Brian anticipates that the remaining work will be completed by the first week of October. Based on
the limited duration of the remaining work, the erosion control measures in place, and the stabilization
requirements tied to acceptance of the improvements, Brian recommends allowing earth-disturbing activities to
continue beyond September 15.
27
Fiscal Impact:
Recommendation:
Staff recommend the Plan Commission and Village Board recommend approval of the request to continue earth-
disturbing activities for Marchstone Phase I beyond September 15, 2026, as outlined in the revised project
schedules.

Hi Jeff and Kyle,
We met today and discussed each of these items:
1. Earth disturbance extension past 9/15
a. Received exhibit from Adam, would also require an email request like Kyle sent last Ɵme. ¾ affirmaƟve
vote at Plan Commission and Village Board is required. I have you penciled in for Plan Commission on
9/8 (just double checking because of Labor Day week), and Village Board on 9/14.
2. ResubmiƩal of deed restricƟons
a. Thank you for the clean and redline versions. I have this on the 8/24 Village Board MeeƟng agenda.
3. Tree clearing to take place aŌer 9/15
a. The Village would need a proposal for the areas to be removed and shows that the proposed removals
comply with the updated ordinance. We have a forester on staff now to review the proposal for
compliance. No formal meeƟng (Plan Commission or Village Board) is required.
Please let me know if you have any quesƟons.

Project Backg
round:
Code/Policy Review:
The WIDNR has issued the Village of Cross Plains a new permit to discharge under the Wisconsin
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES). Under this permit the Village of Cross Plains is
allowed to discharge from the Wastewater Plant to the Black Earth Creek Watershed in
accordance with the effluent limitations, monitoring requirements and other conditions set forth
in the permit.
In May 2026 the DNR presented this permit to us and gave the Village the opportunit y to
address any concerns we may have. In June the Village sent a letter of concern to the DNR
about Sampling Frequency and Compliance Schedule. The DNR talked with the Village a
bout
the concerns, but would not change the requirements. The two changes that will affe ct the
Village the most is the DO (Dissolved Oxygen) and pH ( Potential of Hydrogen) sampling
requirements from 3x per we
ek to 5x and the need to do continues Temperature Maximum.
The DO and pH sampling went into affect 9/1/2026 and they gave
us until Jan 1, 2027 to be in
compliance with the Continues Temperature monitoring. Adding new equipment to structure
60 (Effluent) and run wires through an existing conduit to the SCADA panel would bring us in
compliance with the
permit.
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0

Fiscal Impact:
Recommendation:
We will need new monitoring equipment, an electrician to pull wires to the lab and LW Allen to
program our SCADA system. Asking for approval not to exceed $25,000.
Staff is recommending moving forward with the equipment upgrade. Upgrading the equipment
not only brings us in compliance with the permi
t, but also helps us on days that a regular
operator is not available to be there. Though traditional lab work is still needed for everyday
operations this equipment will help non wastewater operators get the numbers needed for
re
porting. We are also working to make sure the equipment we get now is also compatible with
future
system upgrades.

When pH Field limit(s) or monitoring are included in a permit, the permittee shall comply with the following
conditions:
• The permittee shall perform pH testing required in this permit using an approved method from ch. NR 219,
Wis. Adm. Code, Table B,
• The permittee shall utilize a pH probe/meter that incorporates and uses automatic temperature compensation,
• The permittee shall analyze pH samples as soon as possible after collection not to exceed 15 minutes (this
may mean transporting samples to an offsite laboratory is not an option), and
• The permittee shall calibrate the pH probe/meter daily, using unexpired 4, 7, and 10 buffers prior to use.
2.2.1.3 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) – Grab Sample Analyses
When dissolved oxygen (DO) grab limit(s) or monitoring are included in a permit, the permittee shall comply with the
following conditions:
• The permittee shall perform DO testing required in this permit using an approved method from ch. NR 219,
Wis. Adm. Code, Table B,
• The permittee shall utilize a DO probe/meter that incorporates and uses automatic temperature compensation,
• The permittee shall set the barometric pressure on the DO meter to local elevation and not sea level,
• The permittee shall analyze DO samples as soon as possible after collection not to exceed 15 minutes (this
may mean transporting samples to an offsite laboratory is not an option), and
• The permittee shall calibrate the DO probe/meter daily prior to use.
2.2.1.4 E. coli Percent Limit
No more than 10 percent of E. coli bacteria samples collected in any calendar month may exceed 410 #/100 ml.
Bacteria samples may be collected more frequently than required. All samples shall be reported on the monthly
discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). The following calculation should be used to calculate percent exceedances.
2.2.1.5 PFOS/PFOA Sampling and Reporting Requirements
For grab samples, as defined per s. NR 218.04(10), Wis. Adm. Code, a single sample at a location as defined by the
sample point description shall be taken during the time of the day most representative to capture all potential
discharges. If extra equipment besides the sample bottle is used to collect the sample, it is recommended that a one-
48

time equipment blank is collected with the first sample. An equipment blank would be collected by passing
laboratory-verified PFAS-free water over or through field sampling equipment before the collection of a grab sample
to evaluate potential contamination from the equipment used during sample.
If any equipment blanks are performed, these results shall be reported in the comments section of the eDMR and shall
also be documented in the reports submitted as part of the PFOS/PFOA Minimization Plan Determination of Need
schedule of the permit.
2.2.1.6 PFOS/PFOA Minimization Plan Determination of Need
The permittee shall monitor PFOS and PFOA as specified in the table above and report on the effluent concentrations
including trends in monthly and annual average PFOS and PFOA concentrations as specified in the PFOS/PFOA
Minimization Plan Determination of Need Schedule.
If, after reviewing the data, the Department determines that a minimization plan for PFOS and PFOA is necessary
based on the procedures in s. NR 106.98(4), Wis. Adm. Code, the Department will notify the permittee in writing that
a PFOS and PFOA minimization plan that satisfies the requirements in s. NR 106.99, Wis. Adm. Code, is required.
The permittee shall submit an initial plan for Department approval no later than 90 days after written notification was
sent from the Department in accordance with s. NR 106.985(2)(a), Wis. Adm. Code. Pursuant to s. NR 106.985(2)(b),
Wis. Adm. Code, as soon as possible after Department approval of the PFOS and PFOA minimization plan, the
Department will modify or revoke and reissue the permit in accordance with public notice procedures under ch. 283,
Wis. Stats., and ch. NR 203, Wis. Adm. Code, to include the PFOS and PFOA minimization plan and other related
terms and condition.
If, however, the Department determines that a PFOS and PFOA minimization plan is unnecessary based on the
procedures in s. NR 106.98(4), Wis. Adm. Code, the Department shall notify the permittee that no further action is
required. Per s. NR 106.98(3)(a), Wis. Adm. Code, the Department may reduce monitoring frequency to once every 3
months (quarterly) on a case-by-case basis, but only after at least 12 representative results have been generated. If the
permittee requests a reduction in monitoring and the Department agrees a reduction would be appropriate, the permit

Only those pollutant reduction credits established by a water quality trading plan approved by the Department may be
used by the permittee to demonstrate compliance with the WQBELs identified in this subsection. If the permittee
wishes to use pollutant reduction credits not identified in an approved water quality trading plan, the permittee must
amend the plan or develop a new plan and obtain Department approval of the amended or new plan prior to use of the
new pollutant reduction credits. Prior to Department approval, the amended or new water quality trading plan will be
subject to notice and opportunity for public comment. Any change in the number of available credits requires a permit
modification.
In the event pollutant reduction credits as defined in the approved water quality trading plan are no longer generated,
the permittee shall comply with the WQBELs for total phosphorus contained in this subsection. The quantity of
credits specified in Table 2 may be used to demonstrate compliance for a given year.
2.2.1.9 Demonstrating Compliance with TP WQBELs Using Water Quality Trading
Use the following methods to demonstrate compliance with the TP WQBELs contained in the Water Quality Trading
subsection above.
TOTAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGED (TP)
Use the following equations to calculate the amount of pollutant discharged for Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day].
TP Discharged [lbs/day] = TP Discharged [mg/L] × Daily Flow [MGD] × 8.34 (Eq. 1a.)
Monthly or Weekly Avg = Ʃ daily results ÷ # of results (Eq. 1b.)
WQT CREDITS USED (TOTAL PHOSPHORUS)
Use the following method to calculate the credits to be used expressed as a mass in lbs/month:
WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] = (Monthly Avg TP [mg/L] – 0.33 [mg/L]) × Monthly Avg Flow [MGD] × 8.34
(Eq. 2a.)
WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] = Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day] – 1.6 lbs/day (Eq. 2b.)
When the “Monthly Avg TP” discharged is greater than both 0.33 mg/L and 1.6 lbs/day, select the greater of the two
values from Equation 2a or 2b to be used in Equation 2c below.
Note: When the TP discharge is less than 0.33 mg/L AND 1.6 lbs/day as a monthly avg, report 0 (zero) as the “WQT
Credits Used (TP)”.
WQT TP Credits Used [lbs/month] = WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] × # of days of discharge/month (Eq. 2c.)
WQT COMPUTED COMPLIANCE (TOTAL PHOSPHORUS)
Use the following method to demonstrate compliance with TP WQBELs expressed as a concentration in mg/L:
50
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
8
WQT TP Computed Compliance [mg/L] = Monthly Avg TP [mg/L] – [WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day]* ÷ (Monthly Avg
Flow [MGD] × 8.34)] (Eq. 3a.)
*Greater of either Equation 2a or 2b, the value used for Equation 2c.
Use the following method to demonstrate compliance with TP WQBELs expressed as a mass in lbs/day:
WQT TP Computed Compliance [lbs/day] = Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day] – WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day]**
(Eq. 3b.)
**Greater of either Equation 2a or 2b, the value used for Equation 2c.
Negative computed compliance values should be entered as zero - “0”.
2.2.1.10 Additional Water Quality Trading Requirements
When using water quality trading to demonstrate compliance with WQBELs for TP, the permittee shall comply with
the following:
• Failure to implement any of the terms or conditions of the approved water quality trading plan is a violation of this
permit.
• Each month the permittee shall certify that the nonpoint source management practices installed to generate pollutant
reduction credits are operated and maintained in a manner consistent with that specified in the approved water quality
trading plan. Such a certification may be made by including the following statement as a comment on the monthly

s. 283.37(3), Wis. Stats., or a duly authorized representative of the officer, manager, partner or proprietor that has
been delegated signature authority pursuant to s. NR 205.07(1)(g)2, Wis. Adm. Code. The ‘eReport Certify’ page
certifies that the electronic report form is true, accurate and complete.
If the permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring
shall be included on the Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report pursuant s. NR 205.07(1)(r)2., Wis. Adm. Code.
For the purpose of meeting sampling frequency requirements, a week is defined as a calendar week, which begins on
Sunday and ends on Saturday. The calendar week shall be used as the basis for reporting monitoring data on discharge
monitoring reports.
The permittee shall comply with all limits for each parameter regardless of monitoring frequency. For example,
monthly, weekly, and/or daily limits shall be met even with monthly monitoring. The permittee may monitor more
frequently than required for any parameter.
5.1.2 Sampling and Testing Procedures
Sampling and laboratory testing procedures shall be performed in accordance with Chapters NR 218 and NR 219,
Wis. Adm. Code, and completed by a laboratory certified or registered in accordance with the requirements of ch. NR
149, Wis. Adm. Code. Groundwater sampling shall be performed in accordance with procedures contained in s. NR
140.16, Wis. Adm. Code, and the WDNR publications, Groundwater Sampling Desk Reference (PUBL-DG-037-96)
and Groundwater Sampling Field Manual (PUBL-DG-038-96). The analytical methodologies used shall enable the
laboratory to quantitate all substances for which monitoring is required at levels below the effluent limitation and/or
groundwater standard. If the required level cannot be met by any of the methods available in ch. NR 219, Wis. Adm.
Code, then the method with the lowest limit of detection shall be selected. Additional test procedures may be specified
in this permit.
5.1.3 Sample Types
The permittee shall use the following definitions from s. NR 218.04, Wis. Adm. Code as prescribed in the WPDES
permit for the appropriate method and manner of obtaining samples:
24-hour Composite Sample: A combination of individual samples taken at intervals of not more than one hour such
that the volumes of each of the individual samples and of the combination are proportional to the volumes of flow
during each interval and during the 24-hour period respectively.
64
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
22
• 24-hour Flow Proportional Composite Sample: A combination of individual grab samples taken over a 24-
hr period, where the individual grab samples are of equal volume and taken at intervals after a specified
volume of discharge has occurred.
• 24-hour Time Proportional Composite Sample: A combination of individual grab samples taken over a 24-
hr period, where the individual grab samples are of equal volume and taken at consistent intervals not
exceeding 15 minutes.
Composite Sample: A combination of individual samples of equal volume taken at approximately equal intervals not
exceeding one hour over a specified period of time.
• 3-hr Composite Sample: A combination of three (3) individual grab samples of equal volume taken at one-
hour intervals.
Continuous Sample: A composite of successive individual samples of equal volume taken automatically at equal
intervals not exceeding 15 minutes. Where the term is used in connection with monitoring temperature or pH it means
continuous in-line recording or monitoring at intervals of not more than 15 minutes.
Continuous sample is synonymous with in-line measurements and may apply to flow, temperature, pH, and dissolved
oxygen measurements only. The in-line instrument takes automatic readings at intervals of not more than 15 minutes
during a 24-hour period.
Grab Sample: A single sample taken at one moment of time or a combination of several smaller samples of equal
volume taken in less than a 2-minute period. Where the term is used in connection with monitoring temperature or pH
it means a single measurement.
5.1.4 Recording of Results
The permittee shall maintain records which provide the following information for each effluent measurement or
sample taken:
• The date, exact place, method and time of sampling or measurements;
• The individual who performed the sampling or measurements;
• The date the analysis was performed;
• The individual who performed the analysis;
• The analytical techniques or methods used; and
• The results of the analysis.
5.1.5 Reporting of Monitoring Results
The permittee shall use the following conventions when reporting effluent monitoring results:
• Pollutant concentrations less than the limit of detection shall be reported as < (less than) the value of the limit
of detection. For example, if a substance is not detected at a detection limit of 0.1 mg/L, report the pollutant
concentration as < 0.1 mg/L.
• Pollutant concentrations equal to or greater than the limit of detection, but less than the limit of quantitation,
shall be reported and the limit of quantitation shall be specified.
• For purposes of calculating fees under ch. NR 101, Wis. Adm. Code, a reporting limit of 2.0 mg/L for BOD5
and 2.5 mg/L Total Suspended Solids shall be considered to be limits of quantitation.
• For the purposes of reporting a calculated result, average or a mass discharge value, the permittee may
substitute a “0” (zero) for any pollutant concentration that is less than the limit of detection. However, if the
effluent limitation is less than the limit of detection, the department may substitute a value other than zero for
65
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
23
results less than the limit of detection, after considering the number of monitoring results that are greater than
the limit of detection and if warranted when applying appropriate statistical techniques.
• If no discharge occurs through an outfall, flow related parameters (e.g. flow rate, hydraulic application rate,
volume, etc.) should be reported as “0” (zero) at the required sample frequency specified for the outfall. For
example: if the sample frequency is daily, “0” would be reported for any day during the month that no
discharge occurred.
5.1.6 Compliance Maintenance Annual Reports
Compliance Maintenance Annual Reports (CMAR) shall be completed using information obtained over each calendar
year regarding the wastewater conveyance and treatment system. The CMAR shall be submitted and certified by the
permittee in accordance with ch. NR 208, Wis. Adm. Code, by June 30, each year on an electronic report form
provided by the Department.
In the case of a publicly owned treatment works, a resolution shall be passed by the governing body and submitted as
part of the CMAR, verifying its review of the report and providing responses as required. Private owners of
wastewater treatment works are not required to pass a resolution; but they must provide an Owner Statement and
responses as required, as part of the CMAR submittal.
The CMAR shall be certified electronically by a responsible executive or municipal officer, manager, partner or
proprietor as specified in s. 283.37(3), Wis. Stats., or a duly authorized representative of the officer, manager, partner
or proprietor that has been delegated signature authority pursuant to s. NR 205.07(1)(g)2, Wis. Adm. Code. The
certification verifies that the electronic report is true, accurate and complete.
5.1.7 Records Retention
The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and
all original strip chart recordings or electronic data records for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all
reports required by the permit, and records of all data used to complete the application for the permit for a period of at
least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application. All pertinent sludge information,
including permit application information and other documents specified in this permit or s. NR 204.06(9), Wis. Adm.
Code shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years.
5.1.8 Other Information
Where the permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit application or submitted
incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to the Department, it shall promptly submit such facts or
correct information to the Department.
5.1.9 Reporting Requirements – Alterations or Additions
The permittee shall give notice to the Department as soon as possible of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the permitted facility. Notice is only required when:
• The alteration or addition to the permitted facility may meet one of the criteria for determining whether a
facility is a new source.
• The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of pollutants
discharged. This notification requirement applies to pollutants which are not subject to effluent limitations in
the existing permit.
• The alteration or addition results in a significant change in the permittee’s sludge use or disposal practices,
and such alteration, addition, or change may justify the application of permit conditions that are different from
or absent in the existing permit, including notification of additional use of disposal sites not reported during
the permit application process nor reported pursuant to an approved land application plan. Additional sites
may not be used for the land application of sludge until department approval is received.

• Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the
proper operation of the treatment work;
• Wastewaters at a flow rate or pollutant loading which are excessive over relatively short time periods so as to
cause a loss of treatment efficiency; and
• Changes in discharge volume or composition from contributing industries which overload the treatment
works or cause a loss of treatment efficiency.
5.2.6 Bypass
This condition applies only to bypassing at a sewage treatment facility that is not a scheduled bypass, approved
blending as a specific condition of this permit, a sewage treatment facility overflow or a controlled diversion as
provided in the sections titled ‘Scheduled Bypass’, ‘Blending’ (if approved), ‘SSO’s and Sewage Treatment Facility
Overflows’ and ‘Controlled Diversions’ of this permit. Any other bypass at the sewage treatment facility is prohibited
and the Department may take enforcement action against a permittee for such occurrences under s. 283.89, Wis. Stats.
The Department may approve a bypass if the permittee demonstrates all the following conditions apply:
• The bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
• There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities or adequate
back-up equipment, retention of untreated wastes, reduction of inflow and infiltration, or maintenance during
normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred
during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance. When evaluating feasibility of
alternatives, the department may consider factors such as technical achievability, costs and affordability of
implementation and risks to public health, the environment and, where the permittee is a municipality, the
welfare of the community served; and
• The bypass was reported in accordance with the Noncompliance Reporting section of this permit.
5.2.7 Scheduled Bypass
Whenever the permittee anticipates the need to bypass for purposes of efficient operations and maintenance and the
permittee may not meet the conditions for controlled diversions in the ‘Controlled Diversions’ section of this permit,
the permittee shall obtain prior written approval from the Department for the scheduled bypass. A permittee’s written
request for Department approval of a scheduled bypass shall demonstrate that the conditions for bypassing specified
in the above section titled ‘Bypass’ are met and include the proposed date and reason for the bypass, estimated
volume and duration of the bypass, alternatives to bypassing and measures to mitigate environmental harm caused by
the bypass. The department may require the permittee to provide public notification for a scheduled bypass if it is
determined there is significant public interest in the proposed action and may recommend mitigation measures to
minimize the impact of such bypass.
5.2.8 Controlled Diversions
Controlled diversions are allowed only when necessary for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
Sewage treatment facilities that have multiple treatment units to treat variable or seasonal loading conditions may shut
down redundant treatment units when necessary for efficient operation. The following requirements shall be met
during controlled diversions:
• Effluent from the sewage treatment facility shall meet the effluent limitations established in the permit.

71
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
29
Weekly/Monthly/Six-Month/Annual Average Concentration = the sum of all daily results for that week/month/six-
month/year, divided by the number of results during that time period. [Note: When a six-month average effluent limit
is specified for Total Phosphorus the applicable periods are May through October and November through April,
except in cases of Water Quality Trading, wherein the applicable periods are January through June and July through
December.]
Weekly Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the week.
Monthly Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the month.
Six-Month Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x
8.34, then average the daily mass values for the six-month period. [Note: When a six-month average effluent limit is
specified for Total Phosphorus the applicable periods are May through October and November through April.]
Annual Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the entire year.
Total Monthly Discharge: = monthly average concentration (mg/L) x total flow for the month (MG/month) x 8.34.
Total Annual Discharge: = sum of total monthly discharges for the calendar year.
12-Month Rolling Sum of Total Monthly Discharge: = the sum of the most recent 12 consecutive months of Total
Monthly Discharges.
5.4.3 Effluent Temperature Requirements
Weekly Average Temperature – If temperature limits are included in this permit, Weekly Average Temperature
shall be calculated as the sum of all daily maximum results for that week divided by the number of daily maximum
results during that time period.
Cold Shock Standard – Water temperatures of the discharge shall be controlled in a manner as to protect fish and
aquatic life uses from the deleterious effects of cold shock pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, s. NR 102.28. ‘Cold Shock’
means exposure of aquatic organisms to a rapid decrease in temperature and a sustained exposure to low temperature
that induces abnormal behavior or physiological performance and may lead to death.
Rate of Temperature Change Standard – Temperature of a water of the state or discharge to a water of the state
may not be artificially raised or lowered at such a rate that it causes detrimental health or reproductive effects to fish
or aquatic life of the water of the state pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, s. NR 102.29.
5.4.4 Visible Foam or Floating Solids
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
5.4.5 Surface Water Uses and Criteria
In accordance with NR 102.04, Wis. Adm. Code, surface water uses and criteria are established to govern water
management decisions. Practices attributable to municipal, industrial, commercial, domestic, agricultural, land
development or other activities shall be controlled so that all surface waters including the mixing zone meet the
following conditions at all times and under all flow and water level conditions:
• Substances that will cause objectionable deposits on the shore or in the bed of a body of water, shall not be
present in such amounts as to interfere with public rights in waters of the state.
• Floating or submerged debris, oil, scum or other material shall not be present in such amounts as to interfere
with public rights in waters of the state.
• Materials producing color, odor, taste or unsightliness shall not be present in such amounts as to interfere with

• Substances in concentrations or in combinations which are toxic or harmful to humans shall not be present in
amounts found to be of public health significance, nor shall substances be present in amounts which are
acutely harmful to animal, plant or aquatic life.
5.4.6 Percent Removal
During any 30 consecutive days, the average effluent concentrations of BOD5 and of total suspended solids shall not
exceed 15% of the average influent concentrations, respectively. This requirement does not apply to removal of total
suspended solids if the permittee operates a lagoon system and has received a variance for suspended solids granted
under NR 210.07(2), Wis. Adm. Code.
5.4.7 E. coli
The monthly limit for E. coli shall be expressed as a geometric mean. In calculating the geometric mean, a value of 1
is used for any result of 0.
5.4.8 Seasonal Disinfection
Disinfection shall be provided from May 1 through September 30 of each year. Monitoring requirements and the
limitations for Fecal Coliform (interim) and E. coli apply only during the period in which disinfection is required.
Whenever chlorine is used for disinfection or other uses, the limitations and monitoring requirements for residual
chlorine shall apply. A dechlorination process shall be in operation whenever chlorine is used.
5.4.9 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Monitoring Requirements
In order to determine the potential impact of the discharge on aquatic organisms, static-renewal toxicity tests shall be
performed on the effluent in accordance with the procedures specified in the "State of Wisconsin Aquatic Life Toxicity
Testing Methods Manual, 2nd Edition" (PUB-WT-797, November 2004) as required by NR 219.04, Table A, Wis.
Adm. Code). All of the WET tests required in this permit, including any required retests, shall be conducted on the
Ceriodaphnia dubia and fathead minnow species. Receiving water samples shall not be collected from any point in
contact with the permittee's mixing zone and every attempt shall be made to avoid contact with any other discharge's
mixing zone.
5.4.10 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Identification and Reduction
Within 60 days of a retest which showed positive results, the permittee shall submit a written report to the
Biomonitoring Coordinator, Bureau of Water Quality, 101 S. Webster St., PO Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707-7921,
which details the following:
• A description of actions the permittee has taken or will take to remove toxicity and to prevent the recurrence
of toxicity;
• A description of toxicity reduction evaluation (TRE) investigations that have been or will be done to identify
potential sources of toxicity, including the following actions:
a) Evaluate the performance of the treatment system to identify deficiencies contributing to effluent
toxicity (e.g., operational problems, chemical additives, incomplete treatment)
b) Identify the compound(s) causing toxicity. Conduct toxicity screening tests on the effluent at a
minimum of once per month for six months to determine if toxicity recurs. Screening tests are WET
tests using fewer effluent concentrations conducted on the most sensitive species. If any of the
screening tests contain toxicity, conduct a toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) to determine the
cause. TIE methods are available from USEPA “Methods for Aquatic Toxicity Identification
Evaluations: Phase I Toxicity Characterization Procedures (EPA/600/6-91/003) and “Toxicity
Identification Evaluation: Characterization of Chronically Toxic Effluents, Phase I” (EPA/600/6-
91/005F).

c) Trace the compound(s) causing toxicity to their sources (e.g., industrial, commercial, domestic)
d) Evaluate, select, and implement methods or technologies to control effluent toxicity (e.g., in-plant or
pretreatment controls, source reduction or removal)
• Where corrective actions including a TRE have not been completed, an expeditious schedule under which
corrective actions will be implemented;
• If no actions have been taken, the reason for not taking action.
The permittee may also request approval from the Department to postpone additional retests in order to investigate the
source(s) of toxicity. Postponed retests must be completed after toxicity is believed to have been removed.
5.4.11 PFOS and PFOA Requirements
The laboratory performing the analysis on any samples shall be certified for the applicable PFAS compounds in the
aqueous matrix by the Wisconsin Laboratory Certification Program established under s. 299.11, Wis. Stats., in
accordance with s. NR 149.41, Wis. Adm. Code. All laboratories are required to utilize EPA Method 1633A for

The permittee shall use the following convention when reporting sludge monitoring results: Pollutant concentrations
less than the limit of detection shall be reported as < (less than) the value of the limit of detection. For example, if a
substance is not detected at a detection limit of 1.0 mg/kg, report the pollutant concentration as < 1.0 mg/kg .
All results shall be reported on a dry weight basis.
5.5.5 Calculation of Water Extractable Phosphorus
When sludge analysis for Water Extractable Phosphorus is required by this permit, the permittee shall use the
following formula to calculate and report Water Extractable Phosphorus:
Water Extractable Phosphorus (% of Total P) =
[Water Extractable Phosphorus (mg/kg, dry wt) ÷ Total Phosphorus (mg/kg, dry wt)] x 100
5.5.6 Monitoring and Calculating PCB Concentrations in Sludge
When sludge analysis for “PCB, Total Dry Wt” is required by this permit, the PCB concentration in the sludge shall
be determined using either congener-specific analysis or Aroclor analysis. The permittee may decide which of these
analyses is performed. Analyses shall be performed in accordance with the following provisions and Table EM in s.
NR 219.04, Wis. Adm. Code:
• If congener-specific analysis is employed: All PCB congeners shall be delineated. Non-detects shall be treated
as zero. The values that are between the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation shall be used
when calculating the total value of all congeners. All results shall be added together and the total PCB
concentration by dry weight reported.
• If Aroclor analysis is employed, reporting protocols, consistent with s. NR 106.07(6)(e), should be as follows:
If all Aroclors are less than the LOD, then the Total PCB Dry Wt result should be reported as less than the
highest LOD. If a single Aroclor is detected, then that is what should be reported for the Total PCB result. If
multiple Aroclors are detected, they should be summed and reported as Total PCBs. If the LOD cannot be
achieved after using the appropriate clean up techniques, a reporting limit that is achievable for the Aroclors
or each congener for the sample shall be determined. This reporting limit shall be reported and qualified
indicating the presence of an interference.
5.5.7 Annual Land Application Report
Land Application Report Form 3400-55 shall be submitted electronically by January 31, each year whether or not
non-exceptional quality sludge is land applied. Non-exceptional quality sludge is defined in s. NR 204.07(4), Wis.
Adm. Code. Following submittal of the electronic Annual Land Application Report Form 3400-55, this form shall be
certified electronically via the ‘eReport Certify’ page by a responsible executive or municipal officer, manager,

Only those pollutant reduction credits established by a water quality trading plan approved by the Department may be
used by the permittee to demonstrate compliance with the WQBELs identified in this subsection. If the permittee
wishes to use pollutant reduction credits not identified in an approved water quality trading plan, the permittee must
amend the plan or develop a new plan and obtain Department approval of the amended or new plan prior to use of the
new pollutant reduction credits. Prior to Department approval, the amended or new water quality trading plan will be
subject to notice and opportunity for public comment. Any change in the number of available credits requires a permit
modification.
In the event pollutant reduction credits as defined in the approved water quality trading plan are no longer generated,
the permittee shall comply with the WQBELs for total phosphorus contained in this subsection. The quantity of
credits specified in Table 2 may be used to demonstrate compliance for a given year.
2.2.1.9 Demonstrating Compliance with TP WQBELs Using Water Quality Trading
Use the following methods to demonstrate compliance with the TP WQBELs contained in the Water Quality Trading
subsection above.
TOTAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGED (TP)
Use the following equations to calculate the amount of pollutant discharged for Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day].
TP Discharged [lbs/day] = TP Discharged [mg/L] × Daily Flow [MGD] × 8.34 (Eq. 1a.)
Monthly or Weekly Avg = Ʃ daily results ÷ # of results (Eq. 1b.)
WQT CREDITS USED (TOTAL PHOSPHORUS)
Use the following method to calculate the credits to be used expressed as a mass in lbs/month:
WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] = (Monthly Avg TP [mg/L] – 0.33 [mg/L]) × Monthly Avg Flow [MGD] × 8.34
(Eq. 2a.)
WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] = Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day] – 1.6 lbs/day (Eq. 2b.)
When the “Monthly Avg TP” discharged is greater than both 0.33 mg/L and 1.6 lbs/day, select the greater of the two
values from Equation 2a or 2b to be used in Equation 2c below.
Note: When the TP discharge is less than 0.33 mg/L AND 1.6 lbs/day as a monthly avg, report 0 (zero) as the “WQT
Credits Used (TP)”.
WQT TP Credits Used [lbs/month] = WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day] × # of days of discharge/month (Eq. 2c.)
WQT COMPUTED COMPLIANCE (TOTAL PHOSPHORUS)
Use the following method to demonstrate compliance with TP WQBELs expressed as a concentration in mg/L:
88
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
8
WQT TP Computed Compliance [mg/L] = Monthly Avg TP [mg/L] – [WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day]* ÷ (Monthly Avg
Flow [MGD] × 8.34)] (Eq. 3a.)
*Greater of either Equation 2a or 2b, the value used for Equation 2c.
Use the following method to demonstrate compliance with TP WQBELs expressed as a mass in lbs/day:
WQT TP Computed Compliance [lbs/day] = Monthly Avg TP [lbs/day] – WQT TP Credits Needed [lbs/day]**
(Eq. 3b.)
**Greater of either Equation 2a or 2b, the value used for Equation 2c.
Negative computed compliance values should be entered as zero - “0”.
2.2.1.10 Additional Water Quality Trading Requirements
When using water quality trading to demonstrate compliance with WQBELs for TP, the permittee shall comply with
the following:
• Failure to implement any of the terms or conditions of the approved water quality trading plan is a violation of this
permit.
• Each month the permittee shall certify that the nonpoint source management practices installed to generate pollutant
reduction credits are operated and maintained in a manner consistent with that specified in the approved water quality
trading plan. Such a certification may be made by including the following statement as a comment on the monthly

outlined in the Standard Requirement section of this permit can be found in ss. NR 205.07(1) and NR 205.07(2), Wis.
Adm. Code.
5.1 Reporting and Monitoring Requirements
5.1.1 Monitoring Results
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month shall be summarized and reported on a Department
Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report. The report may require reporting of any or all of the information specified
below under ‘Recording of Results’. This report is to be returned to the Department no later than the date indicated on
the form. A copy of the Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report Form or an electronic file of the report shall be
retained by the permittee.
Monitoring results shall be reported on an electronic discharge monitoring report (eDMR). The eDMR shall be
certified electronically by a responsible executive or municipal officer, manager, partner or proprietor as specified in
s. 283.37(3), Wis. Stats., or a duly authorized representative of the officer, manager, partner or proprietor that has
been delegated signature authority pursuant to s. NR 205.07(1)(g)2, Wis. Adm. Code. The ‘eReport Certify’ page
certifies that the electronic report form is true, accurate and complete.
If the permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring
shall be included on the Wastewater Discharge Monitoring Report pursuant s. NR 205.07(1)(r)2., Wis. Adm. Code.
For the purpose of meeting sampling frequency requirements, a week is defined as a calendar week, which begins on
Sunday and ends on Saturday. The calendar week shall be used as the basis for reporting monitoring data on discharge
monitoring reports.
The permittee shall comply with all limits for each parameter regardless of monitoring frequency. For example,
monthly, weekly, and/or daily limits shall be met even with monthly monitoring. The permittee may monitor more
frequently than required for any parameter.
5.1.2 Sampling and Testing Procedures
Sampling and laboratory testing procedures shall be performed in accordance with Chapters NR 218 and NR 219,
Wis. Adm. Code, and completed by a laboratory certified or registered in accordance with the requirements of ch. NR
149, Wis. Adm. Code. Groundwater sampling shall be performed in accordance with procedures contained in s. NR
140.16, Wis. Adm. Code, and the WDNR publications, Groundwater Sampling Desk Reference (PUBL-DG-037-96)
and Groundwater Sampling Field Manual (PUBL-DG-038-96). The analytical methodologies used shall enable the
laboratory to quantitate all substances for which monitoring is required at levels below the effluent limitation and/or
groundwater standard. If the required level cannot be met by any of the methods available in ch. NR 219, Wis. Adm.
Code, then the method with the lowest limit of detection shall be selected. Additional test procedures may be specified
in this permit.
5.1.3 Sample Types
The permittee shall use the following definitions from s. NR 218.04, Wis. Adm. Code as prescribed in the WPDES
permit for the appropriate method and manner of obtaining samples:
24-hour Composite Sample: A combination of individual samples taken at intervals of not more than one hour such
that the volumes of each of the individual samples and of the combination are proportional to the volumes of flow
during each interval and during the 24-hour period respectively.
102
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
22
• 24-hour Flow Proportional Composite Sample: A combination of individual grab samples taken over a 24-
hr period, where the individual grab samples are of equal volume and taken at intervals after a specified
volume of discharge has occurred.
• 24-hour Time Proportional Composite Sample: A combination of individual grab samples taken over a 24-
hr period, where the individual grab samples are of equal volume and taken at consistent intervals not
exceeding 15 minutes.
Composite Sample: A combination of individual samples of equal volume taken at approximately equal intervals not
exceeding one hour over a specified period of time.
• 3-hr Composite Sample: A combination of three (3) individual grab samples of equal volume taken at one-
hour intervals.
Continuous Sample: A composite of successive individual samples of equal volume taken automatically at equal
intervals not exceeding 15 minutes. Where the term is used in connection with monitoring temperature or pH it means
continuous in-line recording or monitoring at intervals of not more than 15 minutes.
Continuous sample is synonymous with in-line measurements and may apply to flow, temperature, pH, and dissolved
oxygen measurements only. The in-line instrument takes automatic readings at intervals of not more than 15 minutes
during a 24-hour period.
Grab Sample: A single sample taken at one moment of time or a combination of several smaller samples of equal
volume taken in less than a 2-minute period. Where the term is used in connection with monitoring temperature or pH
it means a single measurement.
5.1.4 Recording of Results
The permittee shall maintain records which provide the following information for each effluent measurement or
sample taken:
• The date, exact place, method and time of sampling or measurements;
• The individual who performed the sampling or measurements;
• The date the analysis was performed;
• The individual who performed the analysis;
• The analytical techniques or methods used; and
• The results of the analysis.
5.1.5 Reporting of Monitoring Results
The permittee shall use the following conventions when reporting effluent monitoring results:
• Pollutant concentrations less than the limit of detection shall be reported as < (less than) the value of the limit
of detection. For example, if a substance is not detected at a detection limit of 0.1 mg/L, report the pollutant
concentration as < 0.1 mg/L.
• Pollutant concentrations equal to or greater than the limit of detection, but less than the limit of quantitation,
shall be reported and the limit of quantitation shall be specified.
• For purposes of calculating fees under ch. NR 101, Wis. Adm. Code, a reporting limit of 2.0 mg/L for BOD5
and 2.5 mg/L Total Suspended Solids shall be considered to be limits of quantitation.
• For the purposes of reporting a calculated result, average or a mass discharge value, the permittee may
substitute a “0” (zero) for any pollutant concentration that is less than the limit of detection. However, if the
effluent limitation is less than the limit of detection, the department may substitute a value other than zero for
103
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
23
results less than the limit of detection, after considering the number of monitoring results that are greater than
the limit of detection and if warranted when applying appropriate statistical techniques.
• If no discharge occurs through an outfall, flow related parameters (e.g. flow rate, hydraulic application rate,
volume, etc.) should be reported as “0” (zero) at the required sample frequency specified for the outfall. For
example: if the sample frequency is daily, “0” would be reported for any day during the month that no
discharge occurred.
5.1.6 Compliance Maintenance Annual Reports
Compliance Maintenance Annual Reports (CMAR) shall be completed using information obtained over each calendar
year regarding the wastewater conveyance and treatment system. The CMAR shall be submitted and certified by the
permittee in accordance with ch. NR 208, Wis. Adm. Code, by June 30, each year on an electronic report form
provided by the Department.
In the case of a publicly owned treatment works, a resolution shall be passed by the governing body and submitted as
part of the CMAR, verifying its review of the report and providing responses as required. Private owners of
wastewater treatment works are not required to pass a resolution; but they must provide an Owner Statement and
responses as required, as part of the CMAR submittal.
The CMAR shall be certified electronically by a responsible executive or municipal officer, manager, partner or
proprietor as specified in s. 283.37(3), Wis. Stats., or a duly authorized representative of the officer, manager, partner
or proprietor that has been delegated signature authority pursuant to s. NR 205.07(1)(g)2, Wis. Adm. Code. The
certification verifies that the electronic report is true, accurate and complete.
5.1.7 Records Retention
The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including all calibration and maintenance records and
all original strip chart recordings or electronic data records for continuous monitoring instrumentation, copies of all
reports required by the permit, and records of all data used to complete the application for the permit for a period of at
least 3 years from the date of the sample, measurement, report or application. All pertinent sludge information,
including permit application information and other documents specified in this permit or s. NR 204.06(9), Wis. Adm.
Code shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years.
5.1.8 Other Information
Where the permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit application or submitted
incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to the Department, it shall promptly submit such facts or
correct information to the Department.
5.1.9 Reporting Requirements – Alterations or Additions
The permittee shall give notice to the Department as soon as possible of any planned physical alterations or additions
to the permitted facility. Notice is only required when:
• The alteration or addition to the permitted facility may meet one of the criteria for determining whether a
facility is a new source.
• The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of pollutants
discharged. This notification requirement applies to pollutants which are not subject to effluent limitations in
the existing permit.
• The alteration or addition results in a significant change in the permittee’s sludge use or disposal practices,
and such alteration, addition, or change may justify the application of permit conditions that are different from
or absent in the existing permit, including notification of additional use of disposal sites not reported during
the permit application process nor reported pursuant to an approved land application plan. Additional sites
may not be used for the land application of sludge until department approval is received.

• Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the
proper operation of the treatment work;
• Wastewaters at a flow rate or pollutant loading which are excessive over relatively short time periods so as to
cause a loss of treatment efficiency; and
• Changes in discharge volume or composition from contributing industries which overload the treatment
works or cause a loss of treatment efficiency.
5.2.6 Bypass
This condition applies only to bypassing at a sewage treatment facility that is not a scheduled bypass, approved
blending as a specific condition of this permit, a sewage treatment facility overflow or a controlled diversion as
provided in the sections titled ‘Scheduled Bypass’, ‘Blending’ (if approved), ‘SSO’s and Sewage Treatment Facility
Overflows’ and ‘Controlled Diversions’ of this permit. Any other bypass at the sewage treatment facility is prohibited
and the Department may take enforcement action against a permittee for such occurrences under s. 283.89, Wis. Stats.
The Department may approve a bypass if the permittee demonstrates all the following conditions apply:
• The bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
• There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities or adequate
back-up equipment, retention of untreated wastes, reduction of inflow and infiltration, or maintenance during
normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred
during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance. When evaluating feasibility of
alternatives, the department may consider factors such as technical achievability, costs and affordability of
implementation and risks to public health, the environment and, where the permittee is a municipality, the
welfare of the community served; and
• The bypass was reported in accordance with the Noncompliance Reporting section of this permit.
5.2.7 Scheduled Bypass
Whenever the permittee anticipates the need to bypass for purposes of efficient operations and maintenance and the
permittee may not meet the conditions for controlled diversions in the ‘Controlled Diversions’ section of this permit,
the permittee shall obtain prior written approval from the Department for the scheduled bypass. A permittee’s written
request for Department approval of a scheduled bypass shall demonstrate that the conditions for bypassing specified
in the above section titled ‘Bypass’ are met and include the proposed date and reason for the bypass, estimated
volume and duration of the bypass, alternatives to bypassing and measures to mitigate environmental harm caused by
the bypass. The department may require the permittee to provide public notification for a scheduled bypass if it is
determined there is significant public interest in the proposed action and may recommend mitigation measures to
minimize the impact of such bypass.
5.2.8 Controlled Diversions
Controlled diversions are allowed only when necessary for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
Sewage treatment facilities that have multiple treatment units to treat variable or seasonal loading conditions may shut
down redundant treatment units when necessary for efficient operation. The following requirements shall be met
during controlled diversions:
• Effluent from the sewage treatment facility shall meet the effluent limitations established in the permit.
Wastewater that is diverted around a treatment unit or treatment process during a controlled diversion shall be
recombined with wastewater that is not diverted prior to the effluent sampling location and prior to effluent
discharge;

5.4 Surface Water Requirements
5.4.1 Permittee-Determined Limit of Quantitation Incorporated into this Permit
For pollutants with water quality-based effluent limits below the Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) in this permit, the LOQ
calculated by the permittee and reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) is incorporated by reference
into this permit. The LOQ shall be reported on the DMRs, shall be the lowest quantifiable level practicable, and shall
be no greater than the minimum level (ML) specified in or approved under 40 CFR Part 136 for the pollutant at the
time this permit was issued, unless this permit specifies a higher LOQ.
5.4.2 Appropriate Formulas for Effluent Calculations
The permittee shall use the following formulas for calculating effluent results to determine compliance with average
concentration limits and mass limits and total load limits:
109
WPDES Permit No. WI-0020788-11-0
VILLAGE OF CROSS PLAINS
29
Weekly/Monthly/Six-Month/Annual Average Concentration = the sum of all daily results for that week/month/six-
month/year, divided by the number of results during that time period. [Note: When a six-month average effluent limit
is specified for Total Phosphorus the applicable periods are May through October and November through April,
except in cases of Water Quality Trading, wherein the applicable periods are January through June and July through
December.]
Weekly Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the week.
Monthly Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the month.
Six-Month Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x
8.34, then average the daily mass values for the six-month period. [Note: When a six-month average effluent limit is
specified for Total Phosphorus the applicable periods are May through October and November through April.]
Annual Average Mass Discharge (lbs/day): Daily mass = daily concentration (mg/L) x daily flow (MGD) x 8.34,
then average the daily mass values for the entire year.
Total Monthly Discharge: = monthly average concentration (mg/L) x total flow for the month (MG/month) x 8.34.
Total Annual Discharge: = sum of total monthly discharges for the calendar year.
12-Month Rolling Sum of Total Monthly Discharge: = the sum of the most recent 12 consecutive months of Total
Monthly Discharges.
5.4.3 Effluent Temperature Requirements
Weekly Average Temperature – If temperature limits are included in this permit, Weekly Average Temperature
shall be calculated as the sum of all daily maximum results for that week divided by the number of daily maximum
results during that time period.
Cold Shock Standard – Water temperatures of the discharge shall be controlled in a manner as to protect fish and
aquatic life uses from the deleterious effects of cold shock pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, s. NR 102.28. ‘Cold Shock’
means exposure of aquatic organisms to a rapid decrease in temperature and a sustained exposure to low temperature
that induces abnormal behavior or physiological performance and may lead to death.
Rate of Temperature Change Standard – Temperature of a water of the state or discharge to a water of the state
may not be artificially raised or lowered at such a rate that it causes detrimental health or reproductive effects to fish
or aquatic life of the water of the state pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, s. NR 102.29.
5.4.4 Visible Foam or Floating Solids
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
5.4.5 Surface Water Uses and Criteria
In accordance with NR 102.04, Wis. Adm. Code, surface water uses and criteria are established to govern water
management decisions. Practices attributable to municipal, industrial, commercial, domestic, agricultural, land
development or other activities shall be controlled so that all surface waters including the mixing zone meet the
following conditions at all times and under all flow and water level conditions:
• Substances that will cause objectionable deposits on the shore or in the bed of a body of water, shall not be
present in such amounts as to interfere with public rights in waters of the state.
• Floating or submerged debris, oil, scum or other material shall not be present in such amounts as to interfere
with public rights in waters of the state.
• Materials producing color, odor, taste or unsightliness shall not be present in such amounts as to interfere with
public rights in waters of the state.

• Substances in concentrations or in combinations which are toxic or harmful to humans shall not be present in
amounts found to be of public health significance, nor shall substances be present in amounts which are
acutely harmful to animal, plant or aquatic life.
5.4.6 Percent Removal
During any 30 consecutive days, the average effluent concentrations of BOD5 and of total suspended solids shall not
exceed 15% of the average influent concentrations, respectively. This requirement does not apply to removal of total
suspended solids if the permittee operates a lagoon system and has received a variance for suspended solids granted
under NR 210.07(2), Wis. Adm. Code.
5.4.7 E. coli
The monthly limit for E. coli shall be expressed as a geometric mean. In calculating the geometric mean, a value of 1
is used for any result of 0.
5.4.8 Seasonal Disinfection
Disinfection shall be provided from May 1 through September 30 of each year. Monitoring requirements and the
limitations for Fecal Coliform (interim) and E. coli apply only during the period in which disinfection is required.
Whenever chlorine is used for disinfection or other uses, the limitations and monitoring requirements for residual
chlorine shall apply. A dechlorination process shall be in operation whenever chlorine is used.
5.4.9 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Monitoring Requirements
In order to determine the potential impact of the discharge on aquatic organisms, static-renewal toxicity tests shall be
performed on the effluent in accordance with the procedures specified in the "State of Wisconsin Aquatic Life Toxicity
Testing Methods Manual, 2nd Edition" (PUB-WT-797, November 2004) as required by NR 219.04, Table A, Wis.
Adm. Code). All of the WET tests required in this permit, including any required retests, shall be conducted on the
Ceriodaphnia dubia and fathead minnow species. Receiving water samples shall not be collected from any point in
contact with the permittee's mixing zone and every attempt shall be made to avoid contact with any other discharge's
mixing zone.
5.4.10 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Identification and Reduction
Within 60 days of a retest which showed positive results, the permittee shall submit a written report to the
Biomonitoring Coordinator, Bureau of Water Quality, 101 S. Webster St., PO Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707-7921,
which details the following:
• A description of actions the permittee has taken or will take to remove toxicity and to prevent the recurrence
of toxicity;
• A description of toxicity reduction evaluation (TRE) investigations that have been or will be done to identify
potential sources of toxicity, including the following actions:
a) Evaluate the performance of the treatment system to identify deficiencies contributing to effluent
toxicity (e.g., operational problems, chemical additives, incomplete treatment)
b) Identify the compound(s) causing toxicity. Conduct toxicity screening tests on the effluent at a
minimum of once per month for six months to determine if toxicity recurs. Screening tests are WET
tests using fewer effluent concentrations conducted on the most sensitive species. If any of the
screening tests contain toxicity, conduct a toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) to determine the
cause. TIE methods are available from USEPA “Methods for Aquatic Toxicity Identification
Evaluations: Phase I Toxicity Characterization Procedures (EPA/600/6-91/003) and “Toxicity
Identification Evaluation: Characterization of Chronically Toxic Effluents, Phase I” (EPA/600/6-
91/005F).

c) Trace the compound(s) causing toxicity to their sources (e.g., industrial, commercial, domestic)
d) Evaluate, select, and implement methods or technologies to control effluent toxicity (e.g., in-plant or
pretreatment controls, source reduction or removal)
• Where corrective actions including a TRE have not been completed, an expeditious schedule under which
corrective actions will be implemented;
• If no actions have been taken, the reason for not taking action.
The permittee may also request approval from the Department to postpone additional retests in order to investigate the
source(s) of toxicity. Postponed retests must be completed after toxicity is believed to have been removed.
5.4.11 PFOS and PFOA Requirements
The laboratory performing the analysis on any samples shall be certified for the applicable PFAS compounds in the
aqueous matrix by the Wisconsin Laboratory Certification Program established under s. 299.11, Wis. Stats., in
accordance with s. NR 149.41, Wis. Adm. Code. All laboratories are required to utilize EPA Method 1633A for

5.5.6 Monitoring and Calculating PCB Concentrations in Sludge
When sludge analysis for “PCB, Total Dry Wt” is required by this permit, the PCB concentration in the sludge shall
be determined using either congener-specific analysis or Aroclor analysis. The permittee may decide which of these
analyses is performed. Analyses shall be performed in accordance with the following provisions and Table EM in s.
NR 219.04, Wis. Adm. Code:
• If congener-specific analysis is employed: All PCB congeners shall be delineated. Non-detects shall be treated
as zero. The values that are between the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation shall be used
when calculating the total value of all congeners. All results shall be added together and the total PCB
concentration by dry weight reported.
• If Aroclor analysis is employed, reporting protocols, consistent with s. NR 106.07(6)(e), should be as follows:
If all Aroclors are less than the LOD, then the Total PCB Dry Wt result should be reported as less than the
highest LOD. If a single Aroclor is detected, then that is what should be reported for the Total PCB result. If
multiple Aroclors are detected, they should be summed and reported as Total PCBs. If the LOD cannot be
achieved after using the appropriate clean up techniques, a reporting limit that is achievable for the Aroclors
or each congener for the sample shall be determined. This reporting limit shall be reported and qualified
indicating the presence of an interference.
5.5.7 Annual Land Application Report
Land Application Report Form 3400-55 shall be submitted electronically by January 31, each year whether or not
non-exceptional quality sludge is land applied. Non-exceptional quality sludge is defined in s. NR 204.07(4), Wis.
Adm. Code. Following submittal of the electronic Annual Land Application Report Form 3400-55, this form shall be

Recommendation:
Appendices:
At its most recent meeting, the Public Safety Committee considered the issue of vehicles being parked on N.
Hill Point Road, from Stone Valley Road to County Highway P. The Committee recommended prohibiting
parking along this section of roadway due to the narrow width of the road and the resulting safety concerns
for motorists and other road users.
The roadway is already narrow, and parked vehicles would further restrict the available travel lane, making it
difficult for farm equipment and public facilities trucks to safely travel through the area. The Committee also
noted that one crash has already occurred along this stretch of road, further highlighting the safety concerns
associated with limited roadway width and vehicle access.
Issues with narrow road.

Subject: Re: Concern about parking on Hillpoint Rd. section
Mr. Ruesga and Mr. Bjorklund,
Here is the letter you asked me to send to be presented at the Village Board meeting.
Thank you.
To the Cross Plains Village Board,
My name is Eugene Maier and I live at 8338 Stone Valley Rd. next to the new Veridian development.
I have a concern with the parking that is allowed on Hillpoint Rd from Stone Valley Rd to Laufenberg
Blvd.
I farm and it is very hard to get my farm machinery through when someone is parked on Hillpoint Rd.
I realize this section is in the village but the rest of the road is a rural town road and it is not wide enough
to allow parking on it.
Hillpoint Road was just a rural town road that was widened to 24 feet by the village from Stone Valley
Road to Hwy. P when the Veridian development went in. When someone parks a vehicle on the hill
section from Conrad to Laufenberg, I have difficulty driv
ing my farm equipment through because some of
the machinery is at least 16 feet wide.
If someone has a vehicle parked on this section and I am coming up the hill on Hillpoint and someone
else is coming down the hill, there is no room to move over and no room for error. As you see in
the photos, the white car is parked and the black car has to move over to pass. If I am coming up the hill,
we can't see each other until it's too late.
I am not the only farmer on Hillpoint Road. There are combines, grain trucks and grain carts, planters,
etc...that need to go through this section of roadway.
We thought when construction was done on these houses, the parking on Hillpoint would be done. But
it has continued to this day.
There are only 3 houses on the section of Hillpoint Rd. that would be affected by the no parking
request. Those houses could easily have extra cars park on either Conrad or Laufenberg.
Conrad and Laufenberg are each 32 feet wide and can accommodate vehicles parking on both sides of
the street. There also is a sidewalk for people to use to get to or service their homes.
We realize this is a unique problem having a rural road and village street combined but there needs to be
a solution. Something is going to happen at some point if parking is not restricted.
A couple years ago we asked that the speed limit be reduced in this section and we are glad that it
happened. Now we are asking for a solution to the parking on this section of roadway.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my concerns.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and for providing the detailed explanation and
photos. I appreciate the information regarding the roadway conditions, visibility issues, and the
challenges that farm equipment and other large vehicles face when navigating this section of Hillpoint
Road.
I will place your request for parking restrictions on the Public Safety Committee agenda for its August
meeting so the committee can review and consider it. Committee members will have the opportunity to
discuss the concerns you've raised and evaluate possible solutions.

Mr. Ruesga and Mr. Bjorklund,
In reply to your response, we are including a couple pictures. Also included are road measurements.
There are only 3 houses on the section of Hillpoint Rd. that would be affected by the no parking
request. Those houses could easily have extra cars park on either Conrad or Laufenberg.
Conrad and Laufenberg are each 32 feet wide and can accommodate vehicles parking on both sides of
the street. There also is a sidewalk for people to use to get to or service their homes.
Hillpoint Road was just a rural town road that was widened to 24 feet by the village from Stone Valley

section from Conrad to Laufenberg, I have difficulty driving my farm equipment through because some

else is coming down the hill, there is no room to move over and no room for error. As you see in

hill, we can't see each other until it's too late.
I am not the only farmer on Hillpoint Road. There are combines, grain trucks and grain carts, planters,
etc...that need to go through this section of roadway.
We thought when construction was done on these houses, the parking on Hillpoint would be done. But
it has continued to this day.
It would be great if either or both of you would come out to take a look.
We realize this is a unique problem having a rural road and village street combined but there needs to be
a solution. Something is going to happen at some point if parking is not restricted.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my concerns.

Dear Mr. Maier,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding parking on Hillpoint Road. I appreciate
you taking the time to explain the challenges you are experiencing, and I apologize for the safety
concerns and inconvenience this situation has created, particularly when moving farm equipment and
traveling through the area.
Within the Village, concerns related to roadway safety are first reviewed by the Public Safety
Committee. The committee evaluates the issue and makes recommendations to the Village Board,

which then determines whether any changes or additions should be made. To ensure everyone is on
the same page, I have included Public Safety Committee Chair Cameron Bjorklund in this response.
If the portion of roadway in question is within the Town's jurisdiction rather than the Village's, any
changes would need to be addressed with the Township, as they have authority over township roads.
I also want to note that, historically, proposals to limit on-street parking within the Village have often
been met with resistance from both community members and the Village Board due to the limited
amount of available parking throughout the Village. That said, we certainly understand your concerns
and will ensure they are considered through the appropriate review process.
Please reduce your concerns regarding this matter specifically to Village roadways explaining your
safety concerns and send it to both Cameron and me. If you could include photographs that would be
helpful. Our next Public Safety Committee meeting is scheduled on August 18 th at 7pm. If you want this
matter to be considered at that meeting, please send me these items no later that August 12 th so that I
can ensure they are in the meeting packet.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate your patience as we work
through the proper channels to evaluate the concerns you have raised.
Sincerely,
A.RuesgaJr.

Subject: Concern about parking on Hillpoint Rd. section
Hello,
My name is Eugene Maier and I live at 8338 Stone Valley Rd. next to the new Veridian development.
I have a concern with the parking that is allowed on Hillpoint Rd from Stone Valley Rd to Laufenberg
Blvd. I farm and it is very hard to get my farm machinery through when someone is parked on Hillpoint
Rd. When I travel from Hwy. P up to Stone Valley Rd. it is also very hard to see if someone is coming
towards me, which makes it very dangerous.

Even when we are in our car or truck it is hard to see up the hill, there is no room for error if there is a
car parked on Hillpoint Rd. I realize this section is in the village but the rest of the road is a rural town
road and it is not wide enough to allow parking on it.
Please get back to me about what can be done about this.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Eugene Maier
