Order Conditions |
On December 5th, 2023, the CDP suffered a mechanical malfunction in its back wash system, causing plant effluent containing sludge to discolor the receiving waters. The CDP Laboratory collected and analyzed samples from the M-002 sampling point during the event. Results of those samples show that discoloration of receiving waters was the only permit violation. |
The CDP has corrected the mechanical back wash system malfunction, renovated the effluent Turbidity analyzer, and adjusted the SCADA system alarms. These modifications and adjustments were completed to assure continuous and reliable NTU readings. |

Discharge was notified by the outside laboratory that the Oil and Grease sample for analysis taken on 8/28/2023 to satisfy the M-001 NPDES sampling for the compliance week of 8/27/2023 to 9/2/2023 are to be considered estimated values. This is due to the laboratory reporting that Low recovery was observed for total oil and grease in the LCS/LCSD for the batch. No additional sample volume remained for re-extraction or re-analysis. |
The external laboratory is revalidating their extraction procedure and their Quality Control Standards, to prevent further occurrences of this type. During that time Weekly sample analysis has been deferred to another outside laboratory. |

Discharger was notified by the outside laboratory that the Oil and Grease sample for analysis taken on 8/14/2023 to satisfy the M-001 NPDES sampling for the compliance week of 8/13/2023 to 8/19/2023 was determined to be invalid. After total consumption of the sample volume, it was determined the LCS stock standard was invalid. Therefore, Oil and Grease results must be considered as estimated values due to missing positive control QC. |
The external laboratory is revalidating their extraction procedure and their Quality Control Standards, to prevent further occurrences of this type. During that time weekly sample analysis has been deferred to another outside laboratory. |

Order Conditions |
On August 3, 2023, a valve in CDP's backwash system suffered a mechanical malfunction, causing plant effluent containing untreated backwash water to discolor the receiving waters. The CDP Laboratory collected and analyzed samples from the M-002 sampling point during the event. Results of those samples show that discoloration of receiving waters was the only permit violation. |
The CDP has corrected the backwash system malfunction and implemented further monitoring efforts and alerts for operational oversight to more closely monitor and respond quickly if a similar type of valve malfunction occurs in the future. |

Due to an unscheduled maintenance shutdown, the CDP shutdown on November 21st at 3:30am and remained shut down for the remainder of the November. Due to the unscheduled shutdown occurring prior to the normal time to conduct weekly sampling and due to a communication error, weekly NPDES sampling was not conducted for the compliance week of November 20th to November 26th. |
The CDP Plant Manager has updated communication procedures that contains assigned responsibilities for all CDP Management, to eliminate communication failures during unplanned plant activities. |

During the compliance week of 04/11/2021 to 04/17/2021 the CDP was scheduled for a maintenance shutdown. The maintenance shutdown was scheduled for 8:00PM on April 11th to 8:00PM on April 16th, The lab had scheduled to collect the samples after the plant was returned to normal operation on April 16th. Due to unforeseen circumstances the plant did not return to normal operation until April 18th, which is outside the compliance week. Therefore the lab was unable to collect the weekly sample a monitoring location M-001 for the compliance week beginning April 11th. The CDP was in normal operation for the period of 19 hours and and 42 minutes on 04/11/2021. During this operational time the CDP failed to collect the required weekly NPDES sampling. |
CDP Laboratory Director has developed a formal pre-shutdown sampling procedure. This procedure contains a checklist of required monitoring to conduct prior to forthcoming planned shutdowns. In order to eliminate a failure to conduct compliance monitoring in the event of schedule changes of unseen circumstances. |

Order Conditions |
On 8/23/2020 Discharger exceeded the maximum allowable intake of 299 MGD of seawater by 1.35 MGD due to the dilution flow values set within CDP''s SCADA system not properly accounting for the brine dilution provided by maintenance flow cycled through the plant. |
Upon identification of this oversight, the plant¿s SCADA system was immediately updated
to properly account for seawater that is cycled through the plant that contributes to the brine
dilution.. |
