1115297 03/31/2023 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Percent Removal Monthly Average limit is 85 % and reported value was 76 % at M-001. A thorough review of the analyses, sample handling; plant processes including abundance and structure of the microflora in the secondary processes indicate that the marginal loss of efficiency by approximately 11% was solely attributable to the very dilute influent TOC. The plant continues to monitor the same processes and is expecting to maintain compliance continuously. If there is a repeat, then management will be informed to review our I/I efforts more rigorously. Violation U eSMR
1110429 10/31/2022 DMON After detailed reviews of laboratory workflow performed on November 1, 2022 revealed a lack of sampling for Silica and Urea during the month of October 2022; and a follow up inspection of our laboratory¿s archived samples also confirmed that no extra sample was archived for that month, we concluded that there was no resource available to perform the mandated analyses. Laboratory management in consultation with the QA/QC Chemist implemented the following controls: a. A monthly sample of preserved and unpreserved samples will be archived beginning November 15, 2022; b. The QA/QC Chemist modified her schedule ¿cheat sheet¿ for compliance sampling control to include sampling reminders for the missed samples Violation B eSMR
1102126 03/02/2022 LREP Annual SMR ( TECHRPT ) (Infiltration/Inflow/Spill prevention) report for 2021 (2022569) was due on 01-MAR-22 Violation B Report
1097279 10/31/2021 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 20 mg/L and reported value was 20.17 mg/L at M-001. The cause of the performance excursion is still being reviewed and errors and the results will be communicated to the Regional Board before or within the next monthly report. Violation B eSMR
1097280 10/08/2021 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Weekly Average (Mean) limit is 23 mg/L and reported value was 25.6 mg/L at M-001. The cause of the performance excursion is still being reviewed and errors and the results will be communicated to the Regional Board before or within the next monthly report. Violation B eSMR
1095860 09/30/2021 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 20 mg/L and reported value was 21.63 mg/L at M-001. A formal review of the exceedance is to be convened with Plant Management, meanwhile this exceedance is considered a consequence of the ongoing operational changes to respond to increasingly shrinking flow volumes and attempts to optimize the efficiency of the Trickling Filter/Solids Contact Tanks at the facility. Violation B eSMR
1080295 09/30/2020 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 20 mg/L and reported value was 20.5 mg/L at M-001. The following steps have been taken: Plant management requested a review of year-long analyses, and recommendations for improvement from the designated contracting firm. We are currently awaiting the results and recommendations for review: Operations implemented additional treatment steps since the last compliance report and this has resulted in the reduced severity of the current violation, as well as produced the ongoing concentrations of <16.0 mg/L in the month of October. Those repairs seem to have registered modest improvements in the biological floc at the secondary stage, and therefore no additional changes are contemplated at this time. Violation B eSMR
1079745 08/31/2020 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Monthly Average (Mean) limit is 20 mg/L and reported value was 24.1 mg/L at M-001. The calculations which derive the monthly average values were rechecked for arithmetic and /or transcription errors and were found to be consistent with the standard protocols. The resulting violations were discussed with the System Manager in view of the ongoing effort and engagement with an Engineering firm in an effort to develop appropriate responses to the challenges. Any communications with the consultants will be reviewed promptly for feasibility of application. Further developments will be communicated to the Regional Board before or within the next monthly report. Violation B eSMR
1079746 08/22/2020 CAT1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Weekly Average (Mean) limit is 25 mg/L and reported value was 33.9 mg/L at M-001. The calculations which derive the weely average values were rechecked for arithmetic and /or transcription errors and were found to be consistent with the standard protocols. The resulting violations were discussed with the System Manager in view of the ongoing effort and engagement with an Engineering firm in an effort to develop appropriate responses to the challenges. Any communications with the consultants will be reviewed promptly for feasibility of application. Further developments will be communicated to the Regional Board before or within the next monthly report Violation B eSMR

*As of 5/20/2010, the Water Board's Enforcement Policy requires that all violations be classified as 1, 2 or 3, with class 1 being the highest. Prior to this, violations were simply classified as Yes or No. If a 123 classification has been assigned to a violation that occurred before this date, that classification data will be displayed instead of the Yes/No data.
