Some of the issues to be considered at the hearing are as follows:

(1) Do the Department's proposed efflu. ent limitations for the applicant's discharge No. 002 represent a proper application of industrial effluent guidelines to the applicant's industrial processes.

(2) Do related water quality or environmental factors require the specifications of stricter effluent limitations, additional requirements, or particular methods of treatment or control. In particular.

(a) Will the Department's proposed effluent limitations if met, restore uncontaminated shellfish populations in Whitehall Bay (water quality standards classify Whitehall Bay for propagation of fish and shellfish).

(b) Does contamination of subsurface we and water supplies of adjacent home and cottage owners result from leaks in applicant's treatment lagoons. If so, does the Department have the authority to require the applicant (i) to repair the leaks, and (ii) to compensate the adjacent home and cottage owners for damages resulting from the contamination of the subsurface wells and water supplies.

(c) Does the Department have the authority to control the manner in which the applicant utilizes adjoining marshes and wetlands as additional treatment lagoons in order to meet the Department's proposed effluent limitations. If so, what measures can be taken by the applicant to minimize any harmful effects to adjoining wetlands and fish and wildlife habitats therein.
