Inspection Date: 08/14/2019 Inspection Type : Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
A copy of the spill response plan and map of the system were available for review. Inspector was told that grease education
materials were being distributed, but no documentation of the distribution was available. Permittee shall begin keeping
documentation of bi-annual distribution of grease education materials. No documentation of any maintenance, cleaining,
pump station visitation or emergency generator testing was avaible. Please ensure that documentation of all activities
related to the operation of this collection system are documented. The right of ways observed during the inspection
appeared accesible, but there was considerable vegetation and small trees begining to grow up on the ROW.
Documentation of ROW clearing was not available. Please begin keeping written documentation of ROW clearing. 24-hour
notification signs were present at both pump stations, but pump station identifier information was not on the sign. Permittee
shall provide pump station identifier signage at both pump stations. This issue was documented on a previous Collection
Sytem inspection report from 9/7/2016, but has not been corrected as of the date of this inspection. The audible and visual
alarms at the Main St. pump station were not functional at the time of this inspection. Corrective actions shall be
immediately undertaken. Grease accumulation and debris being removed from the wet wells at both pump stations and
being stored in household trash cans at the stations. Some of the trash cans were split open allowing the contents to spill
out. Some of the cans had no lids and were allowing rain water to enter and then overflow out onto the ground. Another
method for pump station debris removal cleaning should be developed that does not involve storage of the removed material
in the current manner. Trash cans of debris present at the pump stations shall be removed and disposed of properly. This
issue was also noted in the previous inspection report, but has not been corrected.
