Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspection was conducted with the assistance of Mr. Travis Anderson, ORC. DMR's, bench sheets and
lab reports from January through December 2005 were reviewed and compared for accuracy and
completeness. No permit limit exceedances or transcription errors were found. Facility's discharge consists
of filter backwash water that goes through two settling basins before being sent to the receiving stream.
Discharge occurs approximately once per month as needed. At the time of inspection, the facility was not
discharging. Mr. Anderson was reminded to submit an application for permit renewal at least 180 days
before expiration of the current permit, which is October 31, 2006.
