[Questioner] Jake Alexander [Question] Will the implementation of the preferred alternative negate the need to pump dilution water from the Clinch River? [Response (abridged)] 
At the heyday of Y-12 Plant operations, the volume of water leaving the plant was about 15m gallons per day (gpd); now its only releasing 12m gpd above base flow. One of the conditions of the NPDES permit was to augment flow to bring it up to 7m gpd for the benefit of aquatic organisms.
