A second sampling for additional parameters were taken on May 9,2018 and the results are below.
BOD: 130 mg/L
Turbidity. 65 NTU
NH3 as N in liquid 44 mg/L
NO2+NO3 as N in liquid 0 44 mg/L .
Phosphorus Total as P in liquid 22 mg/L -
Total Kjeldahl N as N in liquid 55 mg/L
Residue Suspended in liquid 123 mg/L
The turbidity meter read 20 NTU on May 9,2018 but the lab reading was 65 NTU It appears that'recalibration on the

Comment. Due to septic wastewater,the ORC was sending the effluent to the upset field.The upset field
pump tripped out and only half the field was being inflitrated.the ORC started sending septic
wastewater to fields 3,4, 5,6,7a and 7b.
The upset field was observed with vegetation growing and the water was ponding. Fields should
have no vegetation and be raked to remove vegetation and solids.
In regards to the wells,we are unsure of the location in respect to the Review Boundary and
Compliance Boundary.
