Everything looks good. Attached is that inspection report. Here's what I would change: Supplement to permit cover page: see attachment Continue to operate ... 0.015 MGD extended aeration package plant with: aeration basin with dual blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with sludge return; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; and tablet dechlorinator. My notes are: There are still no discharges from the 001 and 002 Outfalls. They understand to notify us and what to do if this or the manufacturing processes change. The comminutor is not used. Higher flows during rainfall events are typical and indicate groundwater infiltration into the collection system pipe from the plant site to the WWI•P. As a result, the IIALSS are. nearly non-existent and generally average - 5%. The draft permit and fact sheet were reviewed by the three of us. I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate. ARO recommends renewal of this permit.
