This was a follow up inspection to the 5/15/2019 compliance evaluation inspection. I met with the
ORC, Vince Edwards onsite.
All the issues cited in NOV-2018-PC-0171 have been resolved. The leak from the chlorine contact
chamber effluent pipe has been repaired. The right of way to the outfall has been cleared. There is
now a working sampler at the facility taking flow proportional composite samples.
