Comments concerning each of the schools are offered below. Inspection reports are attached. Due to scheduling difficulties in this agency's laboratory, no samples were collected. _Compliance judgements were based upon observations and review of operational records. BATON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES Permit Number NCO030783 Status: Compliance The discharge from the school's septic tank -subsurface sand filter was clean and clear in appearance. The operator's log book and calibration records revealed adequate operational attention. The facility was judged to be operating in compliance with its discharge permit. 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Caldwell County Schools May 6, 2003 Page Two COLLETTSVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES PERMIT Number NCO050075 Status: Compliance The system we excessive material facility's effluent was clean and clear; all components of the re operational. The chlorine contact basin contained an volume of settled solids. Removal of the accumulated is needed to Drevent escaue of solids in the GATEWAY SCHOOL Compliance Sampling Inspection NPDES Permit Number NCO041157 Status: Compliance effluent stream. The system appeared well maintained. The sand filter was dry, free of vegetation and accumulated solids. HAPPY VALLEY SCHOOL Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES Permit Number NCO041181 Status: Compliance A clean, clear discharge was trickling from the system. The operating sand bed was partially plugged with fine solids. As discussed in previous correspondence, the device that alternates flow to the sand filters should be repaired. Repair of the alternating device will minimize required operational attention and maximize longevity of sand in the system. For Happy Valley and other schools at which water records are used to determine flow, the water records must be maintained with the wastewater facilitv's data. KINGS CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Compliance Sampling Inspection NPDES Permit Number NCO041190 Status: Compliance A chlorinator and de -chlorinator had been installed since this agency's previous inspection; they appeared to be performing 59 Woodfin Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 828-251-6208 FAX 828-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper ell County Schools �j •2003 Page Three satisfactorily.. The effluent was clean and clear. Flow was trickling onto the sand bed and appeared to have been doing so for a period of time. Repair of the dosing bell should be affected as soon as possible to insure continued compliance with discharge limits. OAK HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Compliance Sampling Inspection NPDES Permit Number NCO041220 Status: Compliance Flow at Oak Hill School appeared to be trickling onto the sand bed, rather than being "dosed" onto the bed as designed. If needed, repair of the dosing apparatus should occur. Your attention to these matters and Mr. Ron McClure's assistance during the inspections are appreciated.

This permit shall become effective March 1, 2010. This permit and authorization to discharge shall expire at midnight on February 28, 2015. Signed this day January 20, 2010 en H. Sullins, Director j7/ Division of Water Quality By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission Permit NC0050075 SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT COVED SHEET All previous NPDES Permits issued to this facility, whether for operation or discharge are hereby revoked, and as of this issuance, any previously issued permit bearing this number is no longer effective. Therefore, the exclusive authority to operate and discharge from this facility arises under the permit conditions, requirements, terms, and provisions included herein. The Caldwell County Schools are hereby authorized to: 1. Continue to operate an existing 0.010 MGD wastewater treatment facility with the following components: ♦ Influent bar screen ♦ Aeration basin ♦ Secondary clarifier This facility is located at the Collettsville Elementary School WWTP on NC Highway 90 in Caldwell County. 2. Discharge from said treatment works at the location specified on the attached map into the Johns River, currently classified C waters in hydrologic unit 03050/01 of the Catawba River Basin. lv PDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 18 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and Version 712009 i� PDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fined at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:' ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard P (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour p constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWR or "the Division" The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe propegy damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1.

[40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)] Interference Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [I 5A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a Significant Industrial User (SIU); or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a non -significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 A must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1.

My comments/questions are basically around the NH3. We are not going to give them a NH3 limit right? Just monitor for NH3. The draft effluent table is listing NH3 as (November -March). If we are going to have them monitor NH3 at a reduced rate, that is acceptable, but the summer months would be a more meaningful timeframe to monitor. What do you think?

(2) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part 11 of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements Page 3 of 6 Permit NC0050075 • Section D. (2.) • Section D. (6.) • Section E. (5.) Reporting Records Retention Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1 Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer -printed eDMR to the following address: NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division. Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: http://portal.iiedenr.org/web/wq/adi-niii/bog/ipu/edmr Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. 2.

The proposed medical office is intended to replace an existing office for the West Caldwell Health Council, Inc. that is located immediately south of the proposed site that is outdated and located within the flood zone recently established by updated FEMA mapping. The proposed office was originally designed to be serviced by on -site septic, however due to conditions resulting from grading of the site and access to a surface water discharge wastewater treatment facility the owners desire to access the treatment facility. The proposed project will consist of a duplex lift station with telemetry and an auxiliary emergency generator plug located on the property of the proposed medical center with the sole purpose of serving the medical center. The proposed lift station is not intended to serve additional properties surrounding the medical center. The lift station is located approximately 1500-Ift from the Collettsville Elementary School WWTP, as the force main will lay. The proposed force main will parallel the entrance drive southerly to Collettsville Road for approximately 200-Ift, then turn east paralleling Collettsville Road for approximately 800-Ift, before finally turning northerly paralleling the entrance drive to Collettsville Elementary School for approximately 500-Ift and terminating at the Collettsville Elementary School WWTP (NC 0050075). The Collettsville Elementary School WWTP is permitted at 10,000 gpd capacity. Presently, the facility is receiving a monthly maximum average of 2,000 gpd, therefore the facility has excess capacity. Use of this capacity by the medical center will provide a benefit to the community as a whole and will give a joint user for the school to share operational expenses. The Caldwell County Board of Education is in agreement with this connection and has witnessed this agreement with signing the requisite FTSE form for the Collettsville Elementary School WWTP. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this project. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate contacting me via email at greerengr()-charter.net or telephone at 828-244-8218.

Thank you for reviewing the package so quickly. 1. I appologize for missing the box on verifying Minimum Design Criteria. I will complete that and scan to you this morning. 2. The force main will be connected to the existing influent line with the use of a flow disipating manhole. Plans include a termination manhole then a short section of gravity sewer into a dog house manhole over the existing influent line with inverts cast to promote flow assimilation before entering the WWTP. 3. The pump control panel is proposed to be NEMA 3R with audible and visual alarms. 4. The pumps are designed around 3 Hp Hydromatic submersible grinder pumps.

Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative rpa ng, such a request must ne accompanied by a waiver of your rignt to an administrative ng and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please re a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below.. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

Bassinger Caldwell County Schools 1914 Hickory Boulevard SW Lenoir, North Carolina 28645 Dear Mr. Bassinger: June 3, 2008 Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality Asheville Regional Office SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Collettsville Elementary School , Permit No: NC0050075 Caldwell County Enclosed is the Compliance Evaluation Report of the inspection conducted on May 16, 2008 by staff of the Asheville Regional Office. The facility was judged to be in Compliance with permit NC0050075, but attention to certain items was needed to ensure that complaince continued. The first item requiring attention was the grease trap serving the kitchen. Grease was noted in the wastewater treatment plant but did not appear to be present in sufficient mass to prevent operation of the plant. The operator reported that school personnel were responsible for the pumping schedule for the grease trap. The level of grease in the treatment plant indicated that pumping of the trap was required. Perhaps the wastewater treatment plant operator should be authorized to have the grease trap serviced so that operation of the treatment plant can be optimized. Secondly, the grates over the wastewater treatment plant should be replaced. - The grates were rusted to the point of being structurally compromised and would not support the Weight of the operator or inspector. As the grates provide the operator access to all components of the plant, proper maintenance of the.grates is needed. The steel sheets forming the treatment plant were rusted and in need or proper coating or painting. Left unchecked, the rust will threaten the integrity of the plant and the function of certain components.

Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Settleable Solids = 200 ml/I = 20% Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%. Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the sludge is too young. The effluent data was as follows: Dissolved Oxygen = 4.5 mg/I pH = 7.93 units Temperature = 26.5 degrees Celcius Chlorine = n/a -- no chlorination required Records & Reports: A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted. on 8-24-2006 by Janet Cantwell.
