The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit WQ0006863. Don O'Mara — ORC was present during the inspection. The Genesis WWTF is permitted for 24,000 GPD and consists of: • 12,000 gallon EQ tank • Two 15,000 gallon sequencing batch reactors (SBR) • 3,400 gallon sludge holding tank • Three 40 GPM ultraviolet (UV) disinfection units • 3,000 gallon dosing chamber • high -rate infiltration disposal via two 44foot diameter rotary distributors The dual Sequencing Batch Reactor system peaked at approximately 9,000 gpd this summer season, less than half of the 24,000 gpd of permitted flow. A review of records, since the last inspection in June 2019, shows no effluent violations and some TDS limit exceedances in Monitoring Wells #1 and #4. The facility is compliant with Non -Discharge Permit WQ0006863. Please review the comment sections of the inspection report for more details.
