STMP File Review
The Short Term Monitoring Plan (STMP) is being conducted at the proper locations and frequencies. The
proper detection levels are used and all data is maintained in a spreadsheet. There are no POTW
modifications that require a change in the STMP.
Industrial User Permit (IUP) File Review
The file review for Ashe Cheese (#0003) showed that the monitoring data was kept well organized.
Action Items
The next Pretreatment Annual Report(PAR) is due on March 1, 2016.
Mr. Call implements the pretreatment program in an excellent manner. If you have any questions please
