Dear Ms. Fu:

The Central Valley Clean Water Association (CVCWA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the tentative Waste Discharge Requirements for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Mule Creek State Prison Wastewater Treatment Plant (Tentative Order). CVCWA is a non-­‐profit association of public agencies located within the Central Valley region that provide wastewater collection, treatment, and water recycling services to millions of Central Valley residents and businesses. We approach these matters with the perspective of balancing environmental and economic interests consistent with state and federal law. In this letter, we provide the following comments regarding the land application area specifications and the effluent limitation for total nitrogen.
