The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit WQ0016376. Gerald Matthews, ORC, was present during the inspection. The synthetically -lined facultative lagoon and spray irrigation system is permitted for 100,260 gpd and is averaging 90,000 to 92,000 gpd. The operator indicated that an increase in production had increased the flow since the last inspection. He also indicated that some flow might be directed to the methane gas collection industry currently being constructed across the street. The construction of the pump station at the north end of the lagoon is completed and in operation. A final Engineer Certification and a final Operation and Maintenance Plan need to be submitted as indicated in Section I, Schedule 1 & 3 of the permit. The following issues need to be corrected within thirty (30) days from receipt of this inspection report in order for the facility to be compliant with Non -Discharge Permit W00016376: 1.
