DMRs are not required per the General Permit. 4. All annual permit invoices are paid and no overdue fees present. 5. No ORC is required for this permit. Findings during the inspection were: 6. The operators’ log and supporting analytical documentation were consistent and up to date. Temperature and pH are measured at the discharge location as well as upstream and downstream. A review of records from the past five years revealed compliance with permit monitoring requirements. Samples at the outfall are taken multiple times per week. 7. The facility currently has one outfall. a) Outfall 001 had a right of way that was well maintained, and no evidence of solids/foam were present in effluent. b) The outfall has a gate that can be shut down to prevent discharge in case of emergency. 8. pH of the boiler blowdown is adjusted with sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide and is monitored in real time with a pH meter. The mentioned pH meter is calibrated weekly. 9. Extensive maintenance logs are kept of all plant equipment through the company database.
