ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS I did not visit the facility prior to preparing this staff report. I have inspected the facility before and found it to be well run. I have also inspected the irrigation operation and found it to be well run. There have been some relatively minor violations to do with record submissions. The only real problem has been with the odor of the reclaimed water. Residents began complaining to AQUA in 2018. They began to complain to me in 2019 which prompted me to inspect the facility and generate an NOV. The reclaimed water is sprayed throughout the golf course which is between the houses and it carries a strong offensive odor. I have visited the facility unannounced on several occasions in the past year, as well. Residents have been contacting me recently complaining of odors again, now that it is hot out. In the interest of the residents, please complete the modification process quickly, if possible.
