REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director Enclosed are copies of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Reports for the inspections conducted at the subject facilities on March 7, 2018, by Ori Tuvia and Andrew Pitner. Rufus Masters' cooperation during the site visits was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with these NPDES Permits by forwarding a copy of the enclosed reports. The main areas of concern that were documented at the time of the inspections are: 1. The Chlorine meter used for sampling for all locations had a chlorine curve calibration that had expired on January 17, 2018. 2. Adjacent to well #1 at Oakley Park WTP, a tree had fallen onto the fence. Should the fence collapse, the tree may hit and adversely impact treatment units or endanger the staff. 3. The effluent pipe fitting at Maplecrest WTP was broken. 4. The ORC and staff must ensure that weekly visitations are documented on all future eDMRs.
