Site Review Mr. Flynt has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant using the resources that are available to him. However, there are some issues as noted below: 1. The effluent composite sampler's outer casing is cracked and it cannot maintain temperature of the sample at or below six degrees Celsius as required. This must be fixed as soon as possible. 2. The owner must provide separate storage facilities for the Sodium Hypochlorite used for chlorination and the Sodium Bisulfite used for dechlorination. This should also be addressed as soon as possible. 3. The audible alarm on the equalization basin is not loud enough and needs to be replaced with a much louder unit. This also needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
