Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. The wastewater treatment plant treats only process water from the facility. All domestic is discharged into the City
of Elizabethtown's WWTP.
2. This facility manufactures controls for a wide range of items which includetimers, counting devices, temp recorders
and controllers.
3. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed on site: temperature and pH. All other parameters
are analyzed by Pace Analysis, Huntersville, NC, except Acute Toxicity which is analyzed by Similab.
