NR 274.061(2)(b) (b) For all impoundments constructed on or after April 23, 1984, “within the impoundment” means the water surface area within the impoundment at the maximum capacity.

NR 274.061(3) (3) “Pond water surface area,” for the purpose of calculating the volume of wastewater which may be discharged, means the water surface area of the pond created by the impoundment for storage of process wastewater at normal operating level, but not less than one third of the surface area of the maximum amount of water which could be contained by the impoundment.

NR 274.061(4) (4) “Normal operating level” means the average level of the pond during the preceding calendar month.

NR 274.062(2) (2) A process wastewater impoundment which is designed, constructed and operated to contain the precipitation from the 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event as established for the impoundment's location by the national climatic center, national oceanic and atmospheric administration, may discharge a volume of process wastewater equivalent to the volume of precipitation which falls within the impoundment in excess of the precipitation attributable to the 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event, when such an event occurs.

NR 274.062(3) (3) During any calendar month, a process wastewater impoundment may discharge from the overflow a volume equivalent to whatever is the greatest of the following:

NR 274.062(3)(a) (a) The difference between the precipitation for that month which falls within the impoundment and the evaporation from the impoundment for that month; or

NR 274.062(3)(b) (b) The difference between the mean precipitation for that month which falls within the impoundment and the mean evaporation for that month as established for the impoundment's location by the national climatic center, national oceanic and atmospheric administration or as otherwise established if no monthly evaporation has been determined by the national climatic center.

NR 274.062(3)(c) (c) Any process wastewater discharge according to this subsection shall comply with the following limitations: - See PDF for table
