Staff Report — No RRO Staff Report to date. Emailed draft docs to Chuck Cranford (ARO) for review and comment (27Ju12012). Correspondence with the Permittee - During the Draft Review process, Joe Corporon emailed Michael Rosenberg (Permittee) to say the draft is in progress; Joe asked for a sight map showing the property perimeter. Data Review -- reviewed BIMS data from November 2007 through April 2012. Data for BOD5, TSS, and Ammonia (NH3 as N) show no values above permit limits - no limit violations. The Region issued some violations (NOVs) for flow monitoring frequency, but these appear to be seasonally related to the intermittent occupancy of a resort clientele (no penalties assessed). Flow is 100% domestic and estimated based on occupancy (83 people). Actual flow averages — 0.002 MGD (less in the past two years); maximum reported 22Sep2009 at 0.0243 MGD is anomalous (high by a factor of 10) and is likely a reporting error. Renewal — no changes from the previous permit except to update facility description and map; added parameter codes to the effluent page. VZ Top Mountain Villas Condominium I Association Inc.
