NR 110.08(5)(dm)(dm) Treatment facilities to serve existing mobile home parks and condominium developments. Proposals for new treatment facilities to serve existing residential developments at mobile home parks and condominium developments may not be approved unless:
NR 110.08(5)(dm)1.1. The conditions of par. (a) are met; or
NR 110.08(5)(dm)2.2. The conditions of par. (a) 1. and 2. are met and the owner submits the following:

NR 110.08(5)(e)(e) Conformance with areawide water quality management plans. In addition to the requirements of pars. (a) through (dg), the new sewage treatment facilities shall also be in conformance with any approved areawide water quality management plan. These plans may be consistent with the criteria in pars. (a) through (dg). These plans as approved by the department may also contain additional criteria necessary to address regional or local considerations.
NR 110.08(6)(6)Cost effectiveness. A cost-effectiveness analysis shall be performed as part of the evaluation of alternatives in each facilities plan. The cost-effectiveness analysis shall be prepared in accordance with s. NR 110.09 (2). Except as provided for in s. NR 110.09 (2) (j) 4. c., the most cost-effective alternative shall be selected for implementation.

NR 110.09NR 110.09Sewage treatment facilities projects.
NR 110.09(1)(1)Facilities plans for sewage treatment facilities projects.
NR 110.09(1)(a)(a) Facilities plans consist of those necessary plans and studies which directly relate to the construction of the proposed facilities. Facilities planning shall demonstrate the need for the proposed facilities. Through a systematic evaluation of feasible alternatives facilities planning shall also demonstrate that the selected alternative is the most cost-effective means of meeting established effluent limitations and water quality standards. The most cost-effective alternative is that which will result in the minimum total resources costs over the planning period. The planning period of the facilities plan shall be 20 years. The total resources costs include monetary costs, environmental and social considerations, and other nonmonetary factors. The interest (discount) rate to be used in calculating present worth shall be obtained from the department when beginning facilities planning.
NR 110.09(1)(b)(b) Facilities planning shall include the following information in such detail as the department deems appropriate for the specific project:
NR 110.09(1)(b)1.1. A description of the sewerage system for which construction drawings and specifications are to be prepared. This description shall include preliminary engineering data, cost estimates for design and construction of the sewerage system, and a schedule for completion of design and construction. The preliminary engineering data shall include, to the extent appropriate, information such as a schematic flow diagram, unit processes, design data regarding detention times, flow rates, sizing of units, and so forth. This is commonly referred to as the Unit Equipment and Design Report.
NR 110.09(1)(b)2.2. A description of the selected complete sewerage system of which the proposed facilities will be a part using maps, diagrams and plans as appropriate. This description shall include:
NR 110.09(1)(b)2.a.a. The delineation of a sewer service area for the complete sewerage system based on a 20-year population projection and density assumptions;
NR 110.09(1)(b)2.b.b. A description of the collection system including existing and proposed trunk sewers and interceptors;
NR 110.09(1)(b)2.c.c. A description of the existing and proposed sewerage treatment system including ultimate disposal of wastewater and sludge;
NR 110.09(1)(b)2.d.d. A planning area map showing individual systems, if individual systems are to be a part of the cost-effective solution proposed for state or EPA funding.
NR 110.09(1)(b)3.3. Infiltration/inflow documentation in accordance with subs. (5) and (6).
