LAND O LAKES ( One week 2/5/25 ) STATE OF WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO REISSUE A WISCONSIN POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (WPDES) PERMIT No.WI- 0029386-11-0 Permittee: Land O' Lakes Sanitary District #1 , P O Box 246 , Land O' Lakes , WI , 54540 Facility Where Discharge Occurs: Land O Lakes Sanitary District #1 , 6388 Chippewa Drive, Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin Receiving Water And Location: Groundwater of Upper Wisconsin River via Seepage Cells in Tamarack Pioneer River of Wisconsin River (upper) in Vilas County Brief Facility Description and Summary of Proposed Changes: The Land O’Lakes Sanitary District owns and operates a domestic wastewater treatment system. The plant designed to treat 85,000 gallons per day currently treats an average of 37,000 gallons per day. The treatment system consists of a 3-cell settling/septic tank with 2 parallel channels where solids can settle. The wastewater flows to a dosing/recirculating pump station where it mixes with some recirculated wastewater. It is then evenly distributed over one of four filter beds constructed of layers of fine sand and gravel. Naturally occurring microorganisms living on the filter media metabolize and reduce organic solids. The water from the filters may be recirculated back to the dosing/recirculating pump station and filtered again or discharged to one of three seepage cells. The permeable soil in the cells removes additional organic waste and suspended solids. The treated wastewater soaks into the groundwater. There are seven monitoring wells located around the seepage cells to assess any groundwater impacts of the discharge. The solids from the septic tanks are pumped regularly to prevent the discharge of accumulated solids to the seepage cells. These solids are considered septage and are regulated under NR 113, Wisconsin Administrative Code, for septage disposal. It is the Department's intention to renew the permit for another term. The proposed new permit expiration date will be March 31, 2030. Limitations and conditions which the Department believes adequately protect the receiving water are included in the proposed permit. Changes from the previous permit include: [1] Based on groundwater background the preventative action limits based on nitrite+nitrate, pH, organic nitrogen and total dissolved solids have been adjusted. [2] The parameter alkalinity no longer needs to be monitoring in the groundwater monitoring wells. [3] Schedules include an updated land treatment management plan; operation and maintenance improvements to optimize reduction of total nitrogen; and a groundwater monitoring well survey and map submittal.
