Everything looks good. Attached is that inspection report. I talked to John Vanderschaaf, Chairman of the Utilities Committee for the POA, to verify everything. Here's what I would change: Permit: The actual location of the WWTP is off of Music Camp Road (not 10 Lakeview Court). The 10 Lakeview Court address is the location of the clubhouse and where John gets the mail. Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment Continue to operate ... 0.023 MGD wastewater system with 70 individual septic tanks, influent lift station with duplex pumps, dual alarms and emergency generator; dosing tank with alternating siphons; dual surface sand filters, dosed alternately; tablet chlorinator; 1000 gallon chlorine contact chamber; tablet dechlorinator; and effluent concrete step cascade. Tracking Slip (BIMS): see attachment The permitted flow is incorrectly listed as 46,000 gpd. It should be 23,000 gpd. I discussed with John the implications of expanding the plant beyond 23,000 gpd. I told him that if that happened, the existing sand filter system may NOT be able to meet the monthly average ammonia limits of 2.0 mg/1 in the summer & 4.0 mg/I in the winter. I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate. ARO recommends renewal of this permit. Is this email sufficient?
