Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On 6/27/2019, I (Daniel Boss) conducted an inspection of the Forestry Training Center WWTP. I met
with Robert Kramer (ORC) who happened to be performing his daily visit at the time. The WWTP was
discharging effluent at 10am and 12:30pm, and Mr. Kramer collected effluent samples.
I chose to visit this particular day after speaking with the facility manager, Chasity Webb. She had told
me that the facility would have a lot of visitors in the last week of June, and so I figured that there would
be a high probability that the WWTP would be discharging.
Mr. Kramer told me that he will be forcing a discharge from the WWTP every quarter in order to be able
to regularly collect and analyze samples. I find this to be an acceptable solution, recognizing that the
WWTP sometimes does not discharge for weeks at a time. I encourage Mr. Kramer and Forestry
Center to make an effort to collect a discharge sample during periods when the training facility has
many visitors, but I also recognize that may not always be possible due to the sporadic nature of the
discharge events.
