*The only item of significance noted was during the Most Recent Semi -Annual Period, the POTW did not complete its sampling as required
by IUP, including flow? This oversight occurred during a change of personnel at both the city engineer/management level and WWTP,
concurrent with major construction projects ongoing at the WWTP and associated collection system. The IU did perform sampling as
required during this time. The new Pretreatment Coordinator understands the importance of the sampling requirement and will perform
it in the future.
