03/11/2020 Annual Report Review
Contentnea Metropolitan Sewerage District
Routine
Inspection Summary:
A review of the facility's 2019 Annual Report has been conducted and documentation in the 2019 Annual Report appears
complete and accurate. The data presented is supported by the included lab reports. Pathogen and Vector attraction
reduction was demostrated using proper methods.
During May and June 2019 and evaluation of GW conditions at the facility was performed by CMSD and their consultants,
GMA. The results of the evaluation were presented in a report to WQROS-WaRO in July 2019. The report concluded that the
historic, chronic exceedances of 2L stds. for metals at the facility are related to monitoring well conditions and sampling
techniques. After redevelopment of the wells and use of alternate sampling methods, these exceedances have diminished.
Detections of fecal coliform during the October 2019 GW sampling event are thought to be related to possible impacts from
hurricane Dorian in Sept. 2019 and possible sample contamination at the time of collection. WQROS-WaRO will continue to
monitor GW conditions at the facility in the future.
Based on the description of the residual land application operations reported in the 2019 Annual Report, WaRO considers
the facility compliant with Permit # WQ0001048.
