Comment: This is an AR review. A Compliance Inspection for
permit renewal was performed on January
2,
2020. An LA event did not occur during the January
2020 site visit.
The AR report indicates that field CA-15-10 required 1.7 tons of lime to raise the pH from 4.9 to
the minimum reauirement of 6.0.
Hauling records for 2019 were requested by email. Please remember to include truck hauling
records in future ARs.

Comment: PVAR is achieved by Alkine Stabilization. The Time on Temperature records
presented in the AF
appear to be complete and accurate.
Sampling Yes No NA NE
Describe sampling:
Sampling is 7 grab samples for Fecal Coliform using SM 9222D 2 x 10 to the 6th power MPN to prove
adequate reduction has been achieved. Based on the Alkaline Stabilization tables, reduction is being
achieved.
Is sampling adequate? ❑ ❑ ❑
Is sampling representative? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑
Comment: The seven grab samples from different areas is used to obtain representative sampling.
