Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On September 21, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Gary Hudson conducted a routine
compliance inspection at the Scarlet Acres WWTP. Randy Bell was present during the inspection. A
review of the July 2023, and February 2023 eDMR were compared to laboratory bench sheets. No
discrepancies were noted. During the inspection, the following violation and areas of concern were
noted:
Violations: The #2 blower has been inoperable for over six months. Also, two diffuser drop pipes were
inoperable in the A train and one diffuser drop pipe was inoperable in the B train.
Areas of Concern: The flow equalization basin contained excessive amounts of grease and debris
and needs to be cleaned out. Also, there was debris spread across the ground from when the flow
equalization basin had run over in the past.
The following treatment components and documents were inspected:
