Grease traps are responsibility of Food Lion - looked ok today. Septic is responsibility of Kotis - no records onsite but will provide via email. #1 and #2 septic are scheduled to be pumped in June, recommended sooner as high levels noted. The #2 septic outlet vault needs to be fixed ASAP, casing is broken and lid is easily moved/open vault. The alarm (audial and visual) on the wet well mounted on the outside of the pump house needs repair. Sand filter is still not functioning properly. 19 of the lateral line junction boxes were full of wastewater, indicating it was draining back to center of sand filter. Valve box at bottom of lateral lines also full of wastewater. Wastewater was still noted as overflowing from the sand filter, directly into the wet weather storage pond, bypassing further treatment through sand filter and wetland cells, and chlorination. Totalizer from wet well to irrigation counts everything from wet weather storage pond twice: counts once when it kicks over to wet weather storage, and then counts it again when irrigating out of wet weather storage). Recommended flow meter on wet weather storage pond to get accurate amounts. Chad suggests upgrading computer software will provide solution. Concern for freeboard marker in wet well of wet weather storage pond not accurately measuring what is truly in the pond. Possible backup of debris or something in the influent to wet well not allowing for water to equalize levels. Need to assess and find solution - may need to "blow out" influent structure. Evaluation of irrigation zones: Zone 1 - much better condition than last year, only a few "misters" leaking in field. One manifold box at lowest point in field was full of water, but not overflowing. Zone 2 - many large holes and broken lines. Facility reportedly just made repairs to the zone the Friday prior to inspection. Facility to turn off the zone while further repairs are made. Zone 3 - all fallen trees have been cut and removed, stockpiled at edge of zone. No major leaks noted within the zone.
