1095934 07/24/2021 CAT1 Settleable Solids Instantaneous Maximum limit is 3.0 ml/L and reported value was 4.0 ml/L at EFF-001. Upon inspection, staff observed the mechanical sampler suction tube was laying on the floor of the effluent chamber when the high SS grab sample was collected. With the suction tube laying on the floor of the chamber, the mechanical sampler must have vacuumed up some solids resulting in the high recorded value. After this observation, the settleable solids grab sample has been taken directly from the effluent rather than through a mechanical sample device. In addition to sampling for settleable solids directly from effluent, staff reset the mechanical sampler suction tube so it is suspended in the effluent. Violation B eSMR
1101211 07/15/2021 DMON It appears the gap in continuous monitoring was due to a computer update. The update automatically restarted the primary operations computer at about 3:15 AM. After the computer restarted, it did not activate the SCADA system. At 6:55 AM an operator logged onto the computer and started SCADA, thus starting continuous monitoring logging again. We are making every effort to correct this problem and have engaged a SCADA integrator to improve data logging redundancy and assure there is logging consistency throughout the SCADA system.

1092649 06/13/2021 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 4266 ug/L at EFF-001. The on-call operator called a second operator, and both drove to the plant. The first operator that arrived at the plant reset the pumps and brought C-water pumps online. After resetting the carrier water systems and the SBS residual was restored, the operators checked Plant operations and reviewed the SBS residual information. The operators responded quickly and appropriately. The quick response minimized the time the carrier water system was offline, and SBS residual was restored within minutes. Violation B eSMR
1092650 05/13/2021 DMON On May 13, 2021, during a planned training exercise, there was a lapse in continuous monitoring data from about 10:30 to 11:15 AM. the main operations area SCADA system was not powered during this period and the backup power supplies didnt power the system as expected. After seeing the operations room SCADA was not working as expected, staff brought utility power online and performed troubleshooting on the SCADA system. SCADA and continuous monitoring were restored at about 11:15 AM. Staff replaced backup power supplies for the SCADA system Violation B eSMR

1084834 12/14/2020 OEV Enterococci Single Sample Maximum limit is 104 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 164 MPN/100 mL at RSW-001. *** MMP Exempt Reason:This is a receiving water limitation violation, not effluent an effluent limitation violation. Also note that the facility also monitors effluent enterococci and those results are much lower than these receiving water sample results. Effluent enterococci sample results from treated wastewater effluent discharged to the ocean are much lower than the receiving water sample results and indicate the high enterococcus density results must have been from another source. Violation B eSMR
1084832 12/14/2020 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 3716 ug/L at EFF-001. To reduce potential problems at the plant associated with a utility power failure, staff ordered and installed new batteries in equipment back-up power supplies. These back-up power supplies can help maintain equipment settings during brief power failures. Violation B eSMR
1084831 11/17/2020 OEV Enterococci Single Sample Maximum limit is 104 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 271 MPN/100 mL at RSW-001. *** MMP Exempt Reason:This is a receiving water limitation violation, not effluent an effluent limitation violation. Also note that the facility also monitors effluent enterococci and those results are much lower than these receiving water sample results. November 17 effluent sample results from treated wastewater effluent discharged to the ocean are much lower than the receiving water sample results and indicate the high enterococcus density results must have been from another source. Violation B eSMR
1084836 11/16/2020 OEV Enterococci Single Sample Maximum limit is 104 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 111 MPN/100 mL at RSW-001. *** MMP Exempt Reason:This is a receiving water limitation violation, not effluent an effluent limitation violation. Also note that the facility also monitors effluent enterococci and those results are much lower than these receiving water sample results. November 16 effluent sample results from treated wastewater effluent discharged to the ocean are much lower than the receiving water sample results and indicate the high enterococcus density results must have been from another source. Violation B eSMR
1084833 10/31/2020 OEV Fecal Coliform 10% for 30 days limit is 10 % and reported value was 15 % at EFF-001. In addition to stabilizing MBR filtrate flow to the plant effluent, staff increased flow to the MBR to boost the overall filtrate flow and improve the plant¿s effluent quality. Also, as a precaution, an off-line secondary clarifier was placed into service so the secondary clarifier that had been online could be cleaned. The primary clarifier that was online was also swapped out for a clean primary clarifier. In addition, the chlorine dose rate was increased to intensify disinfection through the chlorine contact tank. As an added step, the chlorine contact basin was thoroughly cleaned. Going forward, the plant operators will continue to regularly discuss and evaluate lab results for a variety of treatment processes with the goal of staying in compliance with the fecal coliform limits. Violation B eSMR
1084829 10/31/2020 OEV Fecal Coliform 30-Day Median limit is 14 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 17 MPN/100 mL at EFF-001. In addition to stabilizing filtrate flow to the plant effluent, staff increased flow to the MBR to boost the overall filtrate flow and improve the plant¿s effluent quality. Also, as a precaution, an off-line secondary clarifier was placed into service so the secondary clarifier that had been online could be cleaned.

Violation B eSMR
1084835 10/04/2020 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 3600 ug/L at EFF-001. A faulty backpressure valve was replaced with a new one, and the backpressure PSI was set for the application. The pump was tested and works as expected. Violation B eSMR
1080728 08/06/2020 OEV Fecal Coliform 10% for 30 days limit is 10 % and reported value was 15 % at EFF-001. Collect samples directly from the Effluent. Perform daily check on chlorine flash mixer shaft. Regularly check sludge pump operations and pump routine/times. Average three sludge depth samples per clarifier per day. Violation U eSMR
1080729 07/26/2020 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 3000 ug/L at EFF-001. We will conduct periodic training for power interruptions, equipment resets, how to check on SCADA for faulted equipment, what equipment should be brought online first, and what equipment is likely to be affected by a utility power interruption. Violation U eSMR
1077664 05/31/2020 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 3705 ug/L at EFF-001. Train for power interruptions, equipment resets, how to check on SCADA for faulted equipment, what equipment should be brought online first, and what equipment is likely to be affected by a utility power interruption. Violation U eSMR
1077667 05/15/2020 CAT2 Chlorine, Total Residual Instantaneous Maximum limit is 1800 ug/L and reported value was 3410 ug/L at EFF-001. Regularly Inspect pumps and observe pump and check valves for proper operation. Violation U eSMR
1077665 04/27/2020 OEV Enterococci Single Sample Maximum limit is 104 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 254 MPN/100 mL at RSW-001. *** MMP Exempt Reason:This is a receiving water limitation violation, not effluent an effluent limitation violation. Also note that the facility also monitors effluent enterococci and those results are much lower than these receiving water sample results. Conducted repeat sampling with sample results within permit limits Violation B eSMR
1077666 04/04/2020 CAT1 Settleable Solids Instantaneous Maximum limit is 3.0 ml/L and reported value was 7.0 ml/L at EFF-001. In the future, bring online other available clarifiers to slow down flow and settle solids out of the liquid stream. Violation U eSMR
