Laboratory documents were copied and taken back to be scanned into Laser fiche. Permit expires July 31, 2020. Site has a well, which supplies the 2 boilers. The water has 3 additives, a water softener, an oxygen scavenger, and a water dispersant additive. Once blown down, it has minimal recirculation back into the boiler. What discharges in about 2 - 5 gallons per minute at a constant flow into a basin for pH adjustment with Sulfuric acid. A pH probe is placed through the grating, on one of the side walls in the middle of the chamber that automatically adjusts the speed of the acid drip. The blowdown water flows through this chamber into a cooling pond where it mixes with storm water. There is a baffle wall located in the storm water/cooling pond, allowing the water to have more retention time. The effluent sample site used is also the Storm Water Outfall #2 site. On June 20, 2018 the sample at outfall @ pond was 9.74 units which exceeds the permit limit of 9 ph. On February 16, 2018 the sample at outfall @ pond was 9.19 units which exceeds the permit limit of 9 ph. On December 27, 2017 the sample at outfall @ pond was 11.2 units which exceeds the permit limit of 9 ph. On June 16, 2017 the sample at outfall @ pond was 9.92 units which exceeds the permit limit of 9 ph. Facility deemed non -compliant NOV will be sent.
