Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A cursory evaluation of the facility indicated compliance with the permit.
One item noted that may need attention is stormwater run-on to the sandfilter bed. The sandfilter bed is at
the bottom of a hill and one corner of the sandfilter bed is almost level with the ground. The facility needs to
make sure when it rains that stormwater is not able to flow onto the sand filter bed.
