Violations
Violation ID Occurred Date Violation Type (-) Violation Description Corrective Action Status Classification Source
1125302 02/29/2024 CAT1 Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Monthly Average limit is 30.0 mg/L and reported value was 39.5 mg/L at EFF-001A. ECGS will look into process remedies to avoid future violations Violation A eSMR
1125300 02/29/2024 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 4.3 ug/L and reported value was 12 ug/L at EFF-001A. We have contacted Babcock for clarification on what sample containers/preservatives they recommend for use in the future. Violation A eSMR
1125301 02/22/2024 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Daily Maximum limit is 8.5 ug/L and reported value was 12 ug/L at EFF-001A. We have contacted Babcock for clarification on what sample containers/preservatives they recommend for use in the future. Violation A eSMR
1114100 01/31/2023 CAT1 Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 30 mg/L and reported value was 31 mg/L at EFF-001A. Our ponds turn over in the winter leading to higher TSS levels in the make-up water which is then cycled up in the towers. ECGS will look into process remedies to avoid future violations Violation U eSMR
1114099 01/31/2023 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 4.3 ug/L and reported value was 5.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. For Cyanide, ECGS believes this to be a false positive due to the sample preservation. We have contacted Babcock for clarification on what sample containers/preservatives they recommend for use in the future. Violation A eSMR
1114101 01/31/2023 CAT2 Selenium, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 20 ug/L and reported value was 30.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. ECGS has requested a re-test of the sample for Selenium and collected additional samples to pinpoint the source for Selenium from streams that contribute to our effluent source. Violation B eSMR
1114098 01/23/2023 CAT2 Selenium, Total Recoverable Daily Maximum limit is 20 ug/L and reported value was 30.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. ECGS has requested a re-test of the sample for Selenium and collected additional samples to pinpoint the source for Selenium from streams that contribute to our effluent source. Violation B eSMR
1110541 10/31/2022 CAT1 Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Monthly Average limit is 30 mg/L and reported value was 41 mg/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce total suspended solids Violation U eSMR
1110540 10/31/2022 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Monthly Average limit is 4.3 ug/L and reported value was 6.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce Cyanide levels Violation B eSMR
1101013 08/24/2021 CAT2 Copper, Total Recoverable Daily Maximum limit is 200 ug/L and reported value was 220 ug/L at EFF-001A. Cooper is a source of concern and Imperial Irrigation District is working under TSO No. R7-2020-0019 to develop a pollution prevention plan to comply with waste water discharge requirements Violation U eSMR
1101014 08/24/2021 CAT2 Copper, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 200 ug/L and reported value was 220 ug/L at EFF-001A. Cooper is a source of concern and Imperial Irrigation District is working under TSO No. R7-2020-0019 to develop a pollution prevention plan to comply with waste water discharge requirements Violation U eSMR
1094344 06/22/2021 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Single Sample Maximum limit is 4.3 ug/L and reported value was 5.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. ECGS has used the new sample method OIA-1677 as implemented on the New NPDES permit. This new method has helped reduce the number of false positives, but it has not completely solved the problem. ECGS will request for cyanide sampling to be expedited with Babcock and re sample if needed to prove the false positives received Violation U eSMR
1080391 09/30/2020 CAT2 Cyanide, Free Available Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 4.3 ug/L and reported value was 5.0 ug/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce Cyanide Discharge levels Violation U eSMR
1066426 09/30/2019 CAT2 Selenium, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 4.1 ug/L and reported value was 6.70 ug/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce selenium levels. Violation B eSMR
1064838 08/31/2019 CAT2 Selenium, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 4.1 ug/L and reported value was 5.7 ug/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce selenium levels Violation B eSMR
1063161 07/31/2019 CAT2 Selenium, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 4.1 ug/L and reported value was 5.3 ug/L at EFF-001A. Investigating treatment options to reduce selenium levels Violation B eSMR
