A copy of the permit will be mailed to the Town. At this time, the facility only has a draft copy of the permit. The ORC log was available for review and appeared complete. A new flow meter was installed in February 2014 and wasn't due for a calibration yet. The April 2014 DMR was reviwed and data appeared to be correct. It appears that significant progress has been made to the UW TP to deal with the corrosion issues. There are parts of the plant that still need to be painted, but things are looking better.
