Yeah, BOD and coliforms which have been less than 1 ppm. FYI, the DEQ has based our effluent pounds on 1.92 mgd of treated effluent. We have been treating 1 mgd more for the wet months.
(1.92mgd)(8.34lb/gal)(10mg/L max monthly average TSS)=160lb. I do not foresee the WWTP meeting permit conditions during the winter months until the effluent gallons increase. What I think the DEQ did was average all of the influent for the year instead of splitting the two; summer flows and winter flows. We essentially have two permits anyway.
(2.9mgd winter discharge)(8.34lb/gal)(10mg/L TSS)=242lb is where we’re at. We are already on pace to violate April
Thanks,
Jason

Got it thanks. I also gave the attorneys a breakdown of the violations and noted that we had no BOD violations that I could see. Funny folks get hung up on TSS and BOD is more important.

Hello Gerald,
No problem. We violated March. 193 mg/L vs. 160 mg/L.

Subject: Notification of permit violations
Hi Jason,
Every time we have a permit violation we have stipulated payments to make within a specified time. If we don’t, we have to pay additional penalties. At the end of each reporting period, please let me know via email if we passed or did not pass the permit requirements. That way I can stay on top of it with everything else going on. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.
