Since the last inspection the facility has been sandblasted and recoated and a new generator installed. The system has generally been in compliance with effluent and groundwater monitoring limits except for some erratic TDS and coliform exceedances in monitoring wells. The Division will continue to monitor and evaluate these results. The area's water supply is from an RO system therefore the ORC is adding soda ash routinely to maintain alkalinity. See attached for further notes and comments.
