Wis. Admin. Code Department of Natural Resources NR 106.57
Whenever the department determines that more than one thermal discharge may be adversely affecting the water quality of the same receiving water, the provisions of both this subchapter and s. NR 106.11 shall be used to calculate the combined allowable heat load from the discharges necessary to meet the water quality criteria for temperature as specified in ch. NR 102. The resultant allowable thermal load shall be divided among the various discharges using an allocation method based on site-specific considerations. Whenever the department makes a determination under this subsection, the department shall specify the reasonable potential basis for any effluent temperature limitation and shall notify all permittees who may be affecting the water quality of the same receiving water of the determination and any limitations developed under this section. Any modifications to WPDES permits to account for multiple discharges shall include an opportunity for public comment pursuant to ch. 283, Stats.
