FILE REVIEW COMMENTS:
23. The contracted lab's detection levels for ammonia (0.5 mg/L), copper (10 ug/L) and chromium (10 ug/L) were above the LTMP's
detection levels during the October 2017 sampling event. Note: The contract lab did analyze ammonia down to the 0.1 mg/L detection
level in previous LTMP sampling events.
28. SUO adopted on 2/17/14.
39. The POTW contracts Statesville Analytical to perform analyses. Statesville Analytical sub -contracts Prism Laboratories, Inc. (low
level mercury) and ENCO (chromium, copper, molybdenum) to perform selected analyses.
41a. IAC splits metals (chromium and copper) samples with the POTW and contracts Rogers & Callcott for analyses.
44. The POTW performs all monitoring/sampling requirements for the SIU. The POTW currently samples the SI[J three times per
month.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
The POTW must ensure that all detection levels are met and properly reported (molybdenum) during LIMP sampling events.
The records were organized and well maintained. The City's Industrial Pretreatment Program appeared to be properly implemented.
