Comments on Kitsap Wastewater Treatment Permit

This letter constitutes the comments of Northwest Environmental Advocates (NWEA) on the proposed issuance of the draft NPDES Permit No. WA0030520, Kitsap County Public Works Central Kitsap Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Although nitrogen and phosphorus end up in Puget Sound and its tributaries from diverse sources, such as stormwater and agricultural lands, the Department of Ecology has concluded that municipal and industrial discharges are the primary source of anthropogenic nutrient inputs into the Sound. Thus, a critical component of Washington’s effort to attain and maintain water
quality standards in Puget Sound must be to impose limits, under the Clean Water Act (CWA), on the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus that sewage treatment facilities may discharge into rivers and the Sound.
