Effluent samples were obtained. The Fecal Coliform result was elevated.
Effluent Results: BOD 10 mg/I, TSS 6.2 mg/I, Fecal Coliform 1100 col/100ml. The daily max for Fecal
Coliform is an effluent violation.
The inspector contacted Water Tech to discuss the cause of the elevated fecal number and asked the ORC
to evaluate the disinfection system. Follow up Fecal Coliform sampling by the ORC on 1/21/2013 were
compliant.
Fecal Coliform results performed by ORC in January were both <1. All three results yield a geometric mean
for the month of 10 col/100ml.
