Dean Gaster (ORC) phoned today to say that Troy's effluent pH was exceeded on 8/5 & 8/6.
Tuesday 8/5/03 = 5.6 pH (later with grabs during the day of 6.0)
Wednesday 8/6/03 = 5.6 pH (later with grabs during the day of 6.0)
Friday 8/8/03 = 6.6 pH
A process change at Candor Hosiery has possibly led to the pH violations at the POTW, eventhough
Candor hasn't exceeded their IUP pH limit (it was lower than before, and Candor was having trouble
this week with their dyes not taking hold. In addition, Candor's production was at approximately one
third during this week). Caustic is now being added near the influent to the POTW.
