SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO BE LOCKED WITH PADLOCKS. I urgently recommend that emergency equipment
such as this NOT BE LOCKED, but be available if and when an emergency occurs. The expiration date for the
chlorine CANISTER HAD EXPIRED on the canister type gas mask. This should be replaced A.S.A.P.. PLEASE INFORM
THIS OFFICE WHEN THE CANISTER HAS BEEN REPLACED. The digester was within five feet of being full. The
digester has to be full in order to supernant the contents. The thickened digested sludge is landapplied
approximately twice per year. The 503 reg. is met for proper sludge digestion by meeting the SOUR and Fecal
testing requirements. A construction grants loan has been approved to correct several deficiencies within the
treatment plant which includes, the return sludge piping valves that are not accessible, will be relocated
out from under the recycle pump station, the oversized recycle pumps will be replaced with smaller variable
speed pumps, the digester will have supernantant selector valves installed, just to mention a few of the
corrections.
This facility has reported only one weekly violation (fecal) in the past 12 months. GOOD JOB!!!
