The facility staff will review and revise all applicable eDMRs starting in January 2022 to correct several transcription errors including units of measurement, flow values, ORC and/Backup ORC visitation dates/times and EPA Method 625 and toxicity results. Facility staff must ensure all eDMRs are accurate and complete prior to submittal. Laboratory Yes No NA NE Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Are all other parameters(excluding field parameters) performed by a certified lab? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ # Is the facility using a contract lab? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ degrees Celsius)? Incubator (Fecal Coliform) set to 44.5 degrees Celsius+/- 0.2 degrees? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Incubator (BOD) set to 20.0 degrees Celsius +/- 1.0 degrees? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: Pace Analytical Services and ETT Environmental, Inc. (toxicity) have been contracted to perform permit -required analyses. S&ME staff are contracted to collect effluent samples. Facility staff should notify the contracted laboratory to analyze future effluent total recoverable phenolics samples at a lower detection limit (5 ug/L instead of 40 uq/L).

Spent carbon vessels are disposed at a permitted landfill. Flow Measurement - Effluent # Is flow meter used for reporting? Is flow meter calibrated annually? Is the flow meter operational? (If units are separated) Does the chart recorder match the flow meter? Yes No NA NE • ❑ ❑ ❑ • ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ Comment: The calculated flows for Outfall 001 is based on the Rational Equation criteria (area of drainage area, total rainfall, etc.).
