Date: March 13, 2026
Permit No.: MI0022942
Designated Site Name: Frankenmuth WRRF
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (Department), Water Resources Division (WRD), proposes to modify a permit to the City of Frankenmuth for the Frankenmuth Water Resource Recovery Facility located at 190 Plant Street, Frankenmuth, Saginaw County, Michigan 48734. The applicant collects wastewater from the City of Frankenmuth. The applicant discharges treated municipal wastewater to the Cass River.
The draft permit includes the following modifications to the previously issued permit:
Permit language has been revised to incorporate updated references and terminology. Part I.A.11. Schedule for Advanced Wastewater Treatment Final Effluent Limits has been revised. The certification date and final report submittal dates have been extended to March 1, 2027, and June 1, 2027 respectively. Language has been included for targeted televising of areas of concern identified during the study. The final date for achieving compliance with advanced wastewater treatment final effluent limitations has been extended two (2) years from October 1, 2029, to October 1, 2031. Additionally, compliance dates have been added to this schedule requiring certification of completion of a sewer study evaluating inflow and infiltration in the service area tributary to the facility and a revision to the permittee’s sewer use ordinance to require grease traps to be used by restaurants contributing wastewater to the facility. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) requirements have been updated in accordance with the Department’s Municipal NPDES Permitting Strategy for PFAS.
The final effluent limitation for total mercury is 2.0 nanograms per liter (ng/l), which is the discharge-specific level currently achievable based on a multiple discharger variance (MDV) from the water quality-based effluent limit of 1.3 ng/l, pursuant to R 323.1103(9) of the Part 4 Rules, Water Quality Standards, promulgated under Part 31, Water Resources Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. The discharge-specific level currently achievable for total mercury was developed in accordance with the WRD's approved MDV. A copy of the MDV may be obtained via the Internet at https://www.michigan.gov/egle/about/organization/water-resources/npdes (under About NPDES, select Applicable Rules and Regulations), or at the WRD's Bay City District Office.
