Deficient Monitoring |
Total Coliform on RCY-001 must be analyzed at a daily frequency on a grab sample. Sample invalidated on 10/11/22. Deficient monitoring violation occurred due the lack of a valid sample result. Staff invalidated the sample due to organic and inorganic fouling in the sample line and tubing. The fouling was only occurring at the sample location and the sample was not representative of the water quality in the recycled water distribution system |

Our contract lab did not notify us of the missing samples on the Chain of Custody at check-in.

We regret to inform the Board that we are submitting, via CIWQS, a permit violation for deficient monitoring for the month of July. Plant staff inadvertently failed to collect and test for monthly Oil & Grease and Ammonia from the Final Effluent (EFF-001) as required in the MSD NPDES permit. We do, however, have Oil & Grease data from upstream of the final effluent sample point, at the Secondary Clarifier Effluent for three separate days in July which were collected for process control. All three sample results were below the Reporting Limit (RL) of 5.0 mg/L. Regarding Ammonia, we do not have a limit for the analyte in our permit. The range for the last 12 samplings is 0.13 to 0.43 mg/L. |

Deficient Monitoring |
Deficient Monitoring of multiple parameters and multiple locations. Continuous monitoring was lost due to the data servers losing power for approximately 1 hour and 27 minutes on March 11, 2022. Real-time SCADA system operation, including online analyzers, flow monitors, and alarm handling, was unaffected but no historical data was stored. Parameters affected include: Influent pH, Influent Flow, Effluent Flow, Outfall Residual Chlorine (Monitoring location EFF-001A and M-001), Commingled Effluent pH, Recycled Water Chlorine Residual, Recycled Water Flow, Recycled Water Filtrate Turbidity from 3/11/2022 21:50 to 23:17. Flow totalizer data is also stored locally at the PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) in the facility so daily total values were unaffected. The loss of power was caused by the main electrical breaker supplying the administration building tripping and the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) providing back up power to the data servers also failing simultaneously. Operations Staff were on-site monitoring the facility and did not report any other process related failures or exceedances. |
