Comment: The facility has conducted and recorded analytical monitoring but the outlets are consistently
over the benchmark limitations for fecal coliform bacteria. There were several si ns of wildlife at
the facility and a farm uses chicken manure for fertilizer on fields above the site Evidence of
these occurrences need to be documented to present for a monitoring relief requeest The
facility also needs to conduct Tier II monitoring and prepare the proper Tier responses TSS also
needs to be reviewed to determine if a Tier response is necessary for consequetive
exceedances of the 100 mg/1 benchmark limitation

Comment: Sediment basins used for the transfer station construction project are being utilized for
stormwater. One of the front sediment basins needs to be cleaned and it is recommended to
install a forebaV for sediment accumulation and easy clean out Some outlets could be improvec
with minor BMPs like street sweeping and installing silt sacks in yard inlets and rock check dams
in swales leading to outlets.
