Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Met with Jerry Younce (ORC) to inspect new components.
Many improvements have been made to the WW system; new cover, new sand, new lines.
The BOE did a good job repairing the system. Trees were removed from the surrounding area in this
process. The area where the trees were removed needs to be properly shaped to avoid stormwater runon to
the sandfilter beds. The area also needs to be stabilized with vegetation to avoid erosion.
