records, :and DMR's from January 2010 through December 2010. During this
time period, no effluent violations occurred. During this time period, all process
control monitoring .equipment was found to have met calibration checks unless
further described .herein. Buffer solutions used for pH meter calibrations were
valid; and all sampling results have attached chain of . custody forms. The
operator logbooks verified that the system had been attended as required with
maintenance activities performed. During 2010, there were no events noted in
the logbook that would cause the facility to operate in a non -compliant manner.
