Per Permit Condition 111.7 "a protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas, surface water diversions, and earth embankments...." At the time of inspection, little living vegetation was present on the earthen berm surrounding the concreate containment structure. Please continue to make efforts to establish a vegetative cover on this earthen berm. Other observations: • Stormwater is now being pumped form the earthen berm to inside the concrete containment area so any effluent captured in the earthen berm can be retreated. The earthen berm is serving as a secondary containment area. • Ms. Caudle requested that at least the emergency contact information from the spill plan be posted in the treatment building. A central point of contact handles any spills. • A lock was present on the valve to release stormwater from the earthen berm. • Rip rap was present under the stormwater release valve. • Locks were present on all monitoring wells. All monitoring wells were in good condition. • Shamrock still hauls residuals captured from the dewatering roll off box and wastewater from the reverse osmosis waste tank. The 8,000 gallon "clean water tank" hold wastewater from the reverse osmosis process. • Shamrock hauls residuals once every three weeks. • The 3,650 gallon pump tank with high-water alarms and two Gorman -Rupp trash pumps with float level switch for large solids removal is no longer present. • Maintenance records are maintained as Preventative Maintenance logs that are completed monthly. • Inspection logs are completed daily.
