project lands and water within the project boundary to increase its 
discharge of treated sewage effluent from the Hot Springs Wastewater 
Treatment Plant into Lake Catherine from the currently-approved 12 
million gallons per day (mgd) to 16 mgd. There are no physical 
improvements or additions to the treatment plant proposed within the 
project boundary, hence no ground-disturbing work is necessary within 
the project boundary to facilitate the discharge increase. All 
discharge would be subject to meeting the Arkansas Department of 
Environmental Quality's discharge permit requirements. The increase in 
discharge is necessary to support the growth of the City of Hot Springs 
and its service area.
