The Adem 391 form serves as a Notice of Intent for facilities seeking a General Permit Number ALG250000 from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) for specific types of water discharges. This crucial document encompasses the process for facilities discharging non-contact cooling water, cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown, and potentially demineralizer wastewater. To be processed, it requires comprehensive facility identification, including the facility's name, location, contact information, standard industrial code, and operational details. Additionally, it addresses questions about previous permit holdings, discharge details, and specific water treatment chemicals used. Given the complexity and detail necessary for completing this form, it guides permit seekers through a series of declarations about their water use practices and impacts on receiving water bodies. Completeness and accuracy are paramount, as errors can lead to stricter permit requirements or compel a facility toward an Individual NPDES Permit. Moreover, this form acts as a preliminary step for facilities to ensure compliance with federal and state water quality regulations by documenting intended discharges and any potential impacts on local water resources. On submission, applicants must affirm the truthfulness and completeness of their information under penalty of law, highlighting the form's importance in maintaining environmental standards and safeguarding water quality.
