Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) (5-day @ 20 Deg. C) Daily Maximum limit is 45 mg/L and reported value was 52 mg/L. |
To prevent this issue from recurring, flow will be diverted to the plant drain during similar future transitions, ensuring that any off-spec water does not enter the recycled wet well. |

On March 3, 2025, the North City Water Reclamation Plant recycled water discharge sample (N34 Rec H2O) was collected and prepared for total coliform analysis; however, the sample was inadvertently discarded prior to completing the analysis. |
The laboratory will implement a new labeling process and procedural change that requires samples be kept until the end of the day and until they the analysts have verified that results have been submitted. |

Monitoring for Methylene Blue‐Activated Substances (MBAS) is required monthly at the plant effluent (N34‐REC WATER), however the result for the sample that was collected on 7/22/24 for the month of July is invalid due to failed QC. MBAS analysis is normally carried out by the City¿s South Bay Wastewater Chemistry Laboratory but beginning in July this analysis was outsourced to Alpha Analytical Laboratories, Inc. After reviewing the report from Alpha Labs, it was determined that the results were invalid due to failed batch QC requirements, however this was not discovered in time to collect replacement samples for the month of July. |
Moving forward the data from outsourced analyses will be reviewed by at least two analysts/supervisors and this will be done by the third week of the month to ensure that there is time to collect replacement samples if needed. |

pH Daily Minimum limit is 6.5 SU and reported value was 6.47 SU. |
Laboratory management is in the process of creating an NPDES permit training for staff that will discuss permit requirements for each parameter monitored and provide a workflow to guide employees through each step of sample collection and monitoring. Additionally, the training will indicate who should be notified in the event of values that are potentially out-of-range. Training will reinforce our existing protocol and notification procedures. In addition, the pH worksheets have added a flag to help assist analysts during their review of the data. |
