Order Conditions |
On October 17 at 16:00 hours and continuing through October 18 at 06:00 hours there was a communications failure for our secondary effluent turbidity readings. All other compliance data was captured and there were no fluctuations in flow patterns outside of the normal diurnal flows. The final effluent turbidity during this same timeframe was well within the required turbidity range with an average turbidity of 0.45 NTU's and a daily maximum of 0.85 NTU's. Given these factors we believe that the secondary effluent turbidity remained in compliance. |

On June 9, 2021 at 01:07, the Post CL2 residual at the Sonoma Valley Treatment Plant dropped suddenly causing the plant to divert tertiary final effluent into EQ #3. During this time the Monthly Flow-Through Bioassay was in progress. The plant diverted into EQ #3 until 05:02 for a total of approximately 4 hours. During this time there was no flow to the bioassay unit. When the Operator arrived at the plant it was discovered the probe on the CL2 analyzer was fouled with debris. After cleaning the probe and re-calibrating the analyzers, discharge of tertiary final effluent was resumed to the R4 reservoir and flow to the bioassay unit was resumed. |
