In response to the Notice of Violation & Intent to Assess 001 Penalty (Tracking # NOV- 2016-LM-
0013) for Berryhill Elementary School WWTP (NCO028711), it was noted that Dissolved Oxygen was not
reported during the month of October 2015 and it appeared the WWTP discharged in excess of the
permitted limit. After speaking with the ORC and reviewing the bench sheet it was observed that
Dissolved Oxygen information had been collected but was not transcribed to the DMR, In regards to the
excessive amount of water being discharged from the WWTP, I was not aware of the excessive flow to
WWTP until the Thanksgiving Holiday when I was performing backup ORC duties. It should be noted
that the discharge during October and most of November flow was continuous due to damaged toilets
and urinals. Upon my discovery of the excess flow, I walked the school and cutoff water to the damaged
toilets and urinals and put in a work order with our plumbing department. The number of days that was
used to calculate the flow was lower than the number of days that we had flow which caused the
average discharge to be in excess of our permitted limit. After reviewing our flow charts for the month
of October, I have averaged the flow that occurred over the weekends and added this information to the
DMR, The result of adding additional days has reduced our discharge amount below our permitted
limited.
I am providing an amended D1\
