Your assistance was greatly appreciated. The inspection revealed that the system is being properly operated and well maintained. Please take special note of the comments in each section of the inspection report for areas which may need to be improved upon. In particular, ensure that required records are being maintained to document pump station inspections and compliance in all areas. Also, consider that a grease education program is a permit requirement and needs to be implemented. In addition to this, emergency notification signs are required at all pump stations. Enclosed is a document that further explains record keeping requirements, which may be helpful to you. Please note that some of the listed requirements in it may not apply to your deemed permitted system.
