Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Laboratory data was reviewed. All data appeared to be correct as reported on the DMR's. Calibration records were properly documented. When needed, sludge disposal is performed by McGiII Environmental. As part of the inspection, a review for Field Parameter Certification was performed. All requirements for that certification appeared to be met. Since the last inspection, this facility has been issued a new NPDES permit. The new permit states that a Total Residual Chlorine limit will become effective on December 1, 2007. There are' no plans to intall a de -chlorination unit at this facility. Instead, the tentative plans are to eliminate the liquid disinfection unit and install an ultraviolet disinfection unit. Please be advised that this new unit would need to be in place by December 1 of this year. Page # 2 ti.
