Inspection Date: 01/18/2024 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
A review of the documentation found that the facility keeps thorough records of all required documentation
I reviewed their sample data and found that all parameters are consistantly below benchmark and that the only exceedance
they have had has been from the sample taken on 12/27/2023. Scott indicated that the sample was taken after a large storm
and that they suspected it would be high due to that. Scott indicated that he uses a flocculant in the basins about once a
month to remove suspended solids from the basins.
The site, basins and outfalls all are in good stable condition with no problems
