1139589 11/26/2024 OEV Total Coliform 7-Day Median limit is 23 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 240 MPN/100 mL at EFF-002. No corrective actions have been taken at this time as the source of the problem was not readily apparent Violation U eSMR
1139588 11/07/2024 DMON The TSS Sample that was collected on 11/07/2024 for location INF-001 was submitted to the contract laboratory for analysis, however the contract laboratory failed to log the sample in for TSS and did not report TSS results. By the time the mistake was caught the contract lab had disposed of the source. No TSS Value is available for the week of 11/07/24 for INF-001. More care will be taken in the future to evaluate laboratory results as soon as they arrive from the contract laboratory to catch issues like this with enough time for a sample to be analyzed before it is disposed. Violation U eSMR
1135065 08/31/2024 DMON August 20th 2024: The Coliform sample collected for monitoring location EFF-002 (Discharge point 002) was analyzed using SM9223 instead of SM9221. The reason for the incorrect analysis was due to an error on the Chain of Custody which requested 9223 instead of 9221. The chain of Custody format has been updated to reduce the chances of recurrence. | September 17th 2024: No Coliform sample was collected for sampling location REC-001 (Discharge point 003) even though discharge had occurred on that day. The sample was not able to be collected while producing Recycled Water due to a communication failure caused by upgrades being performed on the fiber optic communication system. EFF-002(8/20/24): Chain of custody documentation has been revised to reduce the potential of this mistake occurring in the future. REC-001(9/17/24): This error was caused during upgrades to the system and was not anticipated to occur, nor is it expected to return. Violation U eSMR

1126666 03/11/2024 Order Conditions March 11, 2024 - Between 438,000 and 525,000 gallons of Secondary Treated Wastewater was discharged to the Russian River through Discharge Point 001 (EFF-001B) due to an operator error involving the set point conditions of several valves. The City is planning to revise its River Discharge SOPs to require supervision from a Senior Operator or higher when isolation valves are opened/closed and to include a 3-D diagram of the valve system to increase staff understanding of all connections and potential impacts. Refresher training on river discharge procedures will be held for all operations staff each year, approximately one month prior to the start of the river discharge season. In addition, two auto actuation valves will be installed as part of the Phase 4 Recycled Water Project. This installation will provide automatic closure of the River Discharge Isolation Valve when it is not being used and when off spec water is produced. The project has been designed, funded, and is currently underway. However, the lead time for receiving the valves is 48 weeks so installation will not occur until the summer of 2025 Violation B eSMR

1096139 09/29/2021 OEV Total Coliform Weekly Average limit is 23 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 170 MPN/100 mL at EFF-002. The high coliform sampled at EFF-002 on 9/29/21, is most likely the result of an unforeseen sludge buildup at the effluent structure, due to closing the percolation pond valve for increased recycled water production. Water was only flowing to the percolation ponds from this location during the maintenance, and the effluent valve was closed again immediately following the maintenance. Violation B eSMR
1096138 08/25/2021 OEV CT (Cl residual * contact time) Daily Minimum limit is 450 mg-min/L and reported value was 343 mg-min/L at EFF-001A. The low chlorine set point has been raised to provide more time for the auto actuating valves to close in the event of unqualified recycled water. Violation B eSMR
1096136 08/24/2021 OEV Total Coliform Monthly Maximum limit is 240 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 2419.6 MPN/100 mL at REC-001. To reduce the possibility of contamination in future samples, the sample port will be disinfected prior to sampling events. Violation B eSMR
1096137 07/14/2021 DMON The pH data for REC-001 taken 7/14/21 was lost due to a malfunction with the field meter used to collect the data.

1092687 05/21/2021 DMON No dissolved oxygen reading was taken during sampling at river monitoring location RSW-005 due to a malfunction with the dissolved oxygen meter. A new cable has been purchased and installed for the dissolved oxygen meter. Violation B eSMR
1092688 04/30/2021 DMON No coliform sample was taken on 4/30/2021 for sampling location REC-001 while discharging to discharge point 003 "Tertiary Treated Wastewater". The cause was due to a miscommunication between operators and laboratory staff when restarting the AWT after several days of non operation. The importance of clear communication was reiterated to staff and sample schedule requirements have been reviewed. Violation B eSMR
