The Permit is inactive but was activated for the period of Jan 7 - Jan 17, 2018 due to a dual pump failure. When inactive, the facility is not required to complete monthly/quarterly reporting requirement.

Sampling was not done for the quarterly parameters (Aluminum, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Fluoride, Zinc, Phosphors, Nitrogen and Chronic toxicity). CIRC was instructed not to force a discharge in order to sample the quarterly requirements. A log sheet is maintained to document weekly maintenance checks. A separate logbook is kept to document all sludge processing. Effluent Sampling Is composite sampling flow proportional? Is sample collected below all treatment units? Is proper volume collected? Is the tubing clean? # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius)? Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type representative)? Yes No NA NE ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ M ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ Comment: When active, the facility is required to collect grab samples.

Laboratory Yes No NA NE Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Are all other parameters(excluding field parameters) performed by a certified lab? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ # Is the facility using a contract lab? ❑ 0 ❑ ❑ # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Celsius)? Incubator (Fecal Coliform) set to 44.5 degrees Celsius+/- 0.2 degrees? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Incubator (BOD) set to 20.0 degrees Celsius +/- 1.0 degrees? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Comment: All samplina reauirements (TSS. DH. Chlorine. Turbiditv) were samDled under the facilitv's in house lab (#567). At the time of the inspection it was determined that the facility chlorine sampling method is inadequate, due to the fact it can only detect chlorine level under 50 ug/L, while permit limit is 17ug/L. The sampling method should have adequately low detection limits to meet permit requirements. Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable ❑ ❑ ❑ Solids, pH, DO, Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable?

Is the site free of high level of solids in filtrate from filter presses or vacuum filters? Is the site free of sludge buildup on belts and/or rollers of filter press? Is the site free of excessive moisture in belt filter press sludge cake? The facility has an approved sludge management plan?
