The reported average monthly flow rate is 3.8 mgd, exceeding the effluent limitation of 3.6 mgd. A technical meeting was held with RWQCB staff on September 9, 2024 about the plan to return flows from Lemon Grove basins as quickly as possible where the Board advised us to pump the basins dry as quickly as possible. Increased flow to the plant, including treating and disposing the returned flow from Lemon Grove basin to prevent further unauthorized discharged attributed to the effluent exceedance.

Order Conditions |
The SRTTP recycled water pump station #1 discharge pipeline had a 17,982 gallon spill that began on 10/30/2024, 1330 hours and ended the same day at 1530 hours. The spill occurred due to a break/failure at a 16 inch HDPE recycled water pipe elbow fitting. The break was isolated between an upstream check valve and a downstream recycled pipeline isolation valve. Staff performing an inspection in the area discovered the spill when liquid was bubbling out of the ground. The liquid ponded and percolated into the ground in the Ysidora Flats Area of the Base. |
The failed portion of the pipeline will be repaired prior to returning to service. |

An assessment of the basin 1 liner system was performed by a contractor to inspect for leaks using airlance testing between 10/16/2024 and 10/22/2024. Lemon Grove basin 1 will remain offline until repairs can be made to the liner. When the basin is returned to service, liquid will be returned as soon as possible to the plant for treatment. |

On 4/22/24, a failure in the Lemon Grove (LG) basin 2 liner was reported at the Southern Regional Tertiary Treatment Plant (SRTTP) due to tears found during an inspection. On 4/23/24, Camp Pendleton and contractor staff began lowering the liquid level in basin 2 by returning flow to SRTTP then transfer liquid from LG 2 to LG basin 1 in order to expedite the process to stop the spill. The spill was stopped on 1 May 2024 when the liquid level in the basin was below the visible tears and depth changes stabilized.
A spill of 25.5 million gallons from the SRTTP Lemon Grove Basin 2 occurred during the period 21 November 2023 to 1 May 2024. The start of subject spill is based on a peak LG basin 2 water surface elevation occurring on 21 November 2023. The termination of the spill is based on the stabilized, uniform basin 2 surface elevation that occurred on 1 May 2024, and its surface elevation being below any known liner tears. All basin 2 inflows ceased between 1 November 2023 and 9 May 2024. The spill is based on the difference in volumes of liquid in basin 2 on 21 November 2023 and 1 May 2024, accounting for rainfall and evaporation rates during this period, and the volume treated or relocated to basin 1. Temporary repairs will be made to the tears in the liner by patching the failed areas. Camp Pendleton is working with our service contractor to identify, schedule, and award the liner repairs. Camp Pendleton is also developing a project for full replacement of the liner system with a planned award in FY25.

Due to low reclaim flows during the week of 1/21/2024 through 1/27/2024, a weekly composite BOD and TSS was not collected by the autosampler until Friday 1/26/2024. The weekend sample tech was not aware the weekly BOD and TSS sample had not been collected so he failed to collect and send the weekly BOD and TSS sample to the lab on Saturday 1/27/2024 when he visited the reclaim site location. |
A sign has since been placed inside the autosampler to indication if the weekly sample has been collected, the SOP for the reclaim site has been updated and the sample techs have been told of the change in the SOP to prevent missing a weekly sample. |

The SRTTP recorded enough flow on 3/19/2023, 3/24/2023 and 3/25/2023 to collect a compliant BOD and TSS composite sample (the reclaim composite autosampler only receives a digital signal every 1,000 gallons, so a minimum flow of 8,000 gallons is required to collect a compliant sample of at least 8 aliquots). The SRTTP reclaim produced in excess of 8,000 gallons on 3/19/2023 - 20,000 gallons, 3/24/2023 - 28,000 gallons and on 3/25/2023 -12,000 gallons.

The 3-species fish toxicity screening was not conducted within the 24-month period (Last conducted 1/10/2021). Beginning in mid-December 2022, the plant began experiencing plant operations issues stemming from heavy rainfall, power outages, and equipment failures. There was no opportunity for the sampling contractor to collect the multiple scheduled 3-species sensitivity screenings in January, February or March 2023. It was not until the week of April 24th that the 1st round of 3-species sensitivity screening could successfully be collected and analyzed. Rounds 2 and 3 of the sensitivity screening were then collected the weeks of 5/22/2023 and 6/19/2023, respectively. |
The next round of sensitivity screening samples has been scheduled to be initiated prior to 6/18/2025. This collection period should avoid any problems with weather issues. Plant operations issues should all be resolved by 2025. |

Brine tank spill at Advanced Water Treatment Plant (AWT) at Haybarn Canyon. The estimated spill volume that percolated into the ground is 216,900 gallons. The brine spilled onto the asphalt pavement around the tank and percolated in the surrounding earth. The tank is equipped with an overflow pipe, but was not functioning. The level indicator system appears to have failed as we were not notified of a high level in the tank. The level transducer was inspected and corrosion was found on the connection point to the reservoir. The connection was cleaned, the transducer will be replaced, and signal to the AWT control room will be tested to confirm operation and determine if this was cause for alarm reporting failure. |
