'That violation has since been corrected. A standby; generator. has been installed that can run the entire plant. It is. setup to self -test sunder load on a:weekly: basis. -All records and log books appeared to -be properly maintained. Laboratory data was' reviewed and all data, appeared to be correct as reported on the DMR's. A review for the Field Parameter Certification' was performed during this . . 'inspection and all requirements for the certification appeared to be met. All units of the plant;appeared to be operating satisfactory except for the secondary clarifier.
