Amend the Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (9 VAC 25-720-50.C, Shenandoah-Potomac Basin), to increase total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) waste load allocations (WLAs) for the Waynesboro wastewater plant (VPDES Permit No. 0025151).  Current nutrient WLAs are TN = 48,729 lb/yr; TP = 3,655 lb/yr, based on a design flow of 4 million gallons per day (MGD). The City is expanding the plant to 6 MGD, and installing state-of-the-art nutrient reduction technology. Construction is underway, with work expected to be completed and the facility certified for operation by 12/31/10. Waynesboro requests the WLAs be amended to TN = 73,058 lbs/yr (a 24,329 lb/yr increase) and TP = 5,479 lbs/yr (a 1,824 lb/yr increase), to reflect the 6 MGD design flow.
