Thanks Jason. We are posting the SSO to the website per Mark’s direction. I think that closes the loop on what we have to do for now. Will need to make a modification to the ERP to call the number regardless because it is in the permit. Go ahead and make a note on your copy and I will add to the ERP and update. Thanks.

Look at page 30 of the permit. Just call that number (1-800-452-0311), and report:
The location of the overflow
The receiving water
Estimate of the volume of the overflow
A description of the sewer system component
The date and time the overflow started and stopped
We will need to update the ERP, as the 24-hour report needs to be made both to OERS and to DEQ, when it is an overflow.

Jason, Dan, Gerald and Mark,
Thank you notifying us with 24 hours of the release from the chlorine contact basin. Per Condition D5 (page 30) of your NPDES permit, was an OERS report made? Was the Emergency Response and Notification Plan required by your permit implemented?

Dave,
After further calculations, I determined that the overflow to Bear Creek was 15,620 gallons. I am finishing up the 5 day report and should be ready to mail on 9/8/2017.
Thanks,
Jason

Dave,
Our printout at midnight showed a Cl2 residual of 2.55 ppm. That number would have stayed pretty steady during the event.
Thanks,

Hey Jason. It occurs to me that since you normally don’t dechlorinate before land applying the treated wastewater, the volume that got to Bear Creek probably had a high chlorine residual. Did you take any samples so we have an idea of what the chlorine concentration was in the water that went to Bear Creek? If no samples, then please estimate the likely chlorine concentration in the water that went to Bear Creek. Thanks.

Dave,
At approximately 0233 until 0653 this morning, our Effluent Pumps failed, causing our Chlorine Contact Basin to overflow into the storm drains on the southwest and northwest corners of the Basin. Approximately 125000 gallons of treated effluent drained into Bear Creek. I have yet to determine the cause of the failures. If a determination is found, it will be noted on the spill report that will be submitted within the (5) day period. This is our 24 hour notice. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Regards,
Jason Clifford
