Heritage Crystal pumps out said tanks Bi-monthly averaging approximately 4,500 Gallons. Cooling Towers- new cooling towers installed at the facility coolers are closed loop with no discharge; only discharge during maintenance. Maintenance related discharge goes into wastewater collection system treated by the city of Shelby. Boiler — has stopped working since the previous inspection and at the time the facility is not planning on repairing or replacing the boiler. the boiler blowdown was the only discharge the facility had and with it not being operational the facility has not been discharging. If the boiler is repaired or replaced the facility will need to notify MRO staff, and boiler blowdown discharge must be sampled semi-annually for PH, Flow and temperature. Operations & Maintenance Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable Solids, pH, DO, Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable?
