1109374 10/04/2022 LREP Monthly SMR ( MONNPDES ) report for August 2022 (2009165) was due on 03-OCT-22 Violation B Report
1107104 08/02/2022 LREP Monthly SMR ( MONNPDES ) report for June 2022 (2009163) was due on 01-AUG-22 Violation B Report
1103073 04/02/2022 LREP Once Per 5 Years SMR ( MONNPDES ) (Receiving water 1x/permit) report for 2017 (2009256) was due on 01-APR-22 Violation B Report
1100637 02/02/2022 LREP Monthly SMR ( MONNPDES ) report for December 2021 (2009157) was due on 01-FEB-22 *** MMP Exempt Reason:Discharger initiated submittal on time but was prevented from completing it due to DMR-related problems in CIWQS and beyond the discharger's control. Discharger emailed NPDES permitting staff on 2/2/22 regarding the problem, but was not able to get help from CIWQS staff until late February. Permitting and enforcement staff provided guidance throughout February. Enforcement Unit does not recommend enforcement. Discharger sought and received assistance from CIWQS Help staff to complete the report's submittal. Violation B Report
1126787 01/31/2022 CAT1 Nitrogen, Total (as N) Monthly Average limit is 8 mg/L and reported value was 10 mg/L at M-001. Not yet determined. Discharger failed to report this violation so included no corrective action. Violation B eSMR
1101387 01/31/2022 CAT1 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 1000.0 mg/L and reported value was 1800 mg/L at M-001. Groundwater infiltration, natural background levels of dissolved solids leads to exceedance. Violation B eSMR
1101389 01/31/2022 CAT2 Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 1.8 ug/L and reported value was 2.1 ug/L at M-001. Samples were all within limits for daily maximum, and exceeded the monthly average of 1.8 ug/L. Considering the ubiquitous nature of Bis (2-Ethyhexyl) Phthalate in the environment, combined with the fact that Graniterock does not manufacture any products or goods using phthalates, Graniterock believes that this overage was likely caused by background or external sources. Violation B eSMR
1101388 01/31/2022 CAT2 Molybdenum, Total Recoverable Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 10.0 ug/L and reported value was 12 ug/L at M-001. Natural background and groundwater infiltration results in increased levels of Molybdenum and other metals. Violation B eSMR
1101384 12/31/2021 CAT1 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 1000 mg/L and reported value was 1750 mg/L at M-001. Groundwater infiltration, natural background levels of dissolved solids leads to exceedance. Violation B eSMR
1101385 12/31/2021 CAT2 Bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 1.8 ug/L and reported value was 3.25 ug/L at M-001. Bis (2-Ethyhexyl) Phthalate is an exceedingly ubiquitous environmental contaminant, particularly at low levels. Graniterock does not manufacture goods or products using phthalates, indicating that these elevated results likely stem from background sources. Violation B eSMR
1101386 12/31/2021 CAT2 Molybdenum, Total Recoverable Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 10.0 ug/L and reported value was 12.0 ug/L at M-001. Natural background and groundwater infiltration result in increased levels of Molybdenum and other metals. Violation B eSMR
1096522 11/02/2021 LREP Monthly SMR ( MONNPDES ) report for September 2021 (2009154) was due on 01-NOV-21 Violation B Report
1087002 01/31/2021 CAT1 Aluminum, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 1000.0 ug/L and reported value was 1100.0 ug/L at M-001. Groundwater infiltration and natural background pollutant presence includes Aluminum and other metals. Violation B eSMR
1087001 01/31/2021 CAT1 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Monthly Average limit is 1000.0 mg/L and reported value was 1500.0 mg/L at M-001. Groundwater infiltration, natural background levels of dissolved solids leads to exceedance Violation B eSMR
1087003 01/31/2021 CAT2 Molybdenum, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 10.0 ug/L and reported value was 13.0 ug/L at M-001. Natural background and groundwater infiltration result in increased levels of Molybdenum and other metals. Violation B eSMR
1086999 01/28/2021 DMON Nitrate/Nitrite analysis was not performed by lab. Graniterock has contacted lab and informed them of the oversight, will correct report when analysis is received. Graniterock has confirmed that Nitrate/Nitrite analysis was requested on Chain of Custody but not performed by lab. Violation B eSMR
1087000 01/28/2021 OEV pH Instantaneous Minimum limit is 7.0 SU and reported value was 6.5 SU at M-001. pH meter efficacy and pH reading possibly affected by temperature changes. Violation B eSMR
1076871 12/31/2019 CAT1 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Monthly Average limit is 1000 mg/L and reported value was 1400 mg/L at M-001. Violation B Report
1076870 12/31/2019 CAT2 Molybdenum, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 10 ug/L and reported value was 11 ug/L at M-001. Violation B Report
