Dear Mr. Smith:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Forms from the inspections
conducted on July 25, 2014. The facility was found to be in Compliance with the Subject permits.
Regarding Permit# WQ0019962. Even though you do not have a minimum irrigation requirement with
the reclaimed utilization system, we encourage you to make the necessary repairs to the irrigation system.
Irrigation with reclaimed water is beneficial and also allows the components of the system to be exercised
regularly to ensure proper operation. This was noted in the last inspection. If you have no plans to ever use this
system, you may want to consider rescinding the permit.
Regarding Permit# WQ0034350: Even though you are not distributing reclaimed water from this
system you are required to document the volume of water used in wash down of the thickeners and the residuals
storage area. Please begin documenting in your operation/maintenance logs the volume of reclaimed water used
at the WWTP.
