Effluent total coliform and E. coli monitoring is required weekly at EFF-001D during periods of discharge to the Napa River; this sampling was missed this month.
Effluent and influent BOD and TSS monitoring is required weekly at EFF-001D during periods of discharge to the Napa River; in January, four weekly samples should have been collected. Sampling was conducted, but not at the required frequency. Influent and effluent TSS monitoring was conducted once, as was influent BOD. Effluent BOD monitoring was conducted twice.
pH measurements are required daily, at monitoring locations EFF-001 and EFF-001D, when discharging to the Napa River. Daily measurements were taken at EFF-001, but some were missed at EFF-001D. pH measurements at EFF-001D were not recorded on weekends and holidays this month (1/1-1/2, 1/7- 1/8, 1/14-1/16, 1/21-1/22).
Effluent cyanide monitoring is required monthly at EFF-001 during periods of discharge to the Napa River; this sampling was missed this month.
|
Regarding the missed pH, BOD, TSS, E. coli, and cyanide sampling, the City revised procedures so this type of monitoring will not be missed in the future.
Regarding missed total coliform sampling, there was a misunderstanding of the direction from the Regional Water Board staff and consequently City staff collected samples at an inappropriate location. Samples were collected at EFF-001 (past the pond), instead of EFF-001D (immediately after disinfection in the chlorine contact basin). Regional Water Board staff followed up with a clarification on this issue on February 7 and City staff have been collecting samples at the correct location since.

Regarding copper - elevated effluent concentrations have occasionally been noted in past discharge events, but particularly high levels persisted starting in December 2021. The City has been conducting daily accelerated monitoring when discharging to the Napa River since December 2021. In 2022, copper effluent concentrations ranged from 9.7 µg/L to 39 µg/L; the January 2023 were in the lower range, from 6.6 µg/L to 25 µg/L. While the overall downward trend is encouraging, the reason for the exceedances is unknown but suspected to be related to the aging WWTRP or caused by elevated copper concentration in the wastewater influent. The City has been measuring influent copper since January 2022 and obtained results ranging from 31 µg/L to 130 µg/L. In January 2023, influent copper was 52 µg/L on 1/5 and 32 µg/L on 1/19. In addition to increased monitoring frequencies at the WWTRP, the City has also monitored the water supply and inventory potential commercial contributors in the service area. The Cityżs drinking water treatment plant initiated an orthopolyphosphate addition program to reduce the corrosive potential of the water supply.

The City has been conducting daily accelerated monitoring since December 2021, when elevated copper levels in the effluent were first observed. Effluent copper concentrations ranged from 19 µg/L to 65 µg/L in December 2021 and 32 µg/L to 39 µg/L in January 2022. To date, there are two results available from February 2022; both were <14 µg/L, the analytical method detection limit. While the overall downward trend is encouraging, the reason for the December and January exceedances is unknown. The City is investigating potential elevated copper levels in the wastewater influent. The City measured influent copper in December and the result was a relatively low level of 36 µg/L. However, more influent monitoring was conducted in January and February 2022 and results were higher, ranging from 81 µg/L to 130 µg/L. The City will continue assessing copper through the remainder of the discharge season. Aside from regular influent monitoring and increasing the frequency for effluent monitoring, the City will monitor the water supply and inventory potential commercial contributors in the service area. The Cityżs drinking water treatment plant is also initiating an orthopolyphosphate addition program to reduce the corrosive potential of the water supply. We will continue to test the WWTRP influent to evaluate potential copper reductions in the influent from this program. |

Total Coliform Maximum Daily (MDEL) limit is 240 CFU/100 mL and reported value was 540 CFU/100 mL at EFF-001. |
The cause for the high result is unknown; there were not treatment issues noted that particular day. Coliform levels were non-detect the following day and remained low for the rest of the discharging period. |

Daily analysis of total coliform was missed on 3/24/2021. |
COC form included request for total coliform, but the contract lab did not pick up the sample bottle from the WWTP. The issue has been brought to their attention and they provided assurances that samples will not be missed in the future. |

Copper, Total Monthly Average limit is 8.3 ug/L and reported value was 8.9 ug/L at EFF-001. |
The average monthly result is based on one sampling event, on 2/18/21. Follow-up sampling was not immediately conducted because discharge to the river concluded for the month of February on 2/20/21 and the City did not became aware of the violation until receipt of the lab report, on 3/5/21. Copper was sampled during effluent discharge on 3/12/21 and the result was 4.1 µg/L, in compliance with the NPDES permit limit.
The long term solution is that WTRP is being upgraded to an MBR plant, which will provide more reliable pollutant removal. Also, moving forward, the City will request 'rush analysis' on effluent copper samples in order to become aware of potential violations in a more timely manner. |

Total Coliform Daily Maximum limit is 240 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 540 MPN/100 mL at EFF-001. |
The violation likely occurred due to a clogged chlorine disinfectant feed line. The line has since been cleared and flushed. Follow-up lab results from 2/1/21 indicate total coliform levels returned to <1.8 MPN/ 100mL. Moving forward, NaCl is no longer delivered on its own; we are now using delivery water to reduce the potential for precipitative NaCl buildup in the lines. |

Copper, Total Monthly Average limit is 8.3 ug/L and reported value was 15 ug/L at EFF-001. |
This is a DNQ result. The initial lab report did not provide MDLs/ DNQs. The issue was not discovered until July 2020 at which time the contract lab was asked to revise the lab report and include this information. The revised report showed the DNQ result, at a value exceeding the AMEL. The lab was instructed to include MDLs/DNQs in all reports moving forward so this would not happen again and timely actions can be taken to investigate and remedy the exceedance. |
