Order Conditions |
On 11/11/24, approximately 3,000 gallons of Gulf System seawater effluent, treated with cupramine, was inadvertently discharged to the NIS treatment system, which ultimately discharges to Outfall 001 due to operator error. Treated seawater is normally discharged to the sanitary sewer system in accordance with BAS Administrative Control SOPs. |

Order Conditions |
Due to matrix interference, the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and Reporting Limit (RL) were raised for Toxaphene (USEPA 608.3 method) in all samples. As a result, the MDL and RL for Toxaphene for Outfall 001 was 1 ug/L which is above the Ocean Plan Minimum Level of 0.5 ug/L and the Permit Performance Goal of .00168 ug/L. |

Order Conditions |
Approximately 2,000 gallons of copper treated, non-indigenous seawater from Birch Aquarium at Scripps (BAS) Gulf System discharged into the storm conveyance system at BAS when the Gulf System's degas tower overflowed. The overflow was caused by a subcontractor that mistakenly closed a supply valve to a tank while working on the Gulf Supply Line. |

02/17/2025 |
Order Conditions |
Due to increased turbidity and/or the potential for matrix interferences from the storm water, samples for some constituents were diluted by the laboratory prior to analysis for Outfall 002 (storm water). This raised the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and Reporting Limits (RLs) for these samples. As a result, the MDLs and RLs for some of the constituents analyzed for the Outfall 002 samples exceeded Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or Performance Goals. |

Due to matrix interference, the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and Reporting Limit (RL) were raised for Toxaphene (USEPA 608.3 method) in all samples. As a result, the MDL and RL for Toxaphene for the receiving water sample was 1 ug/L which is above the Ocean Plan Minimum Level of 0.5 ug/L and the Permit Performance Goal of .00021 ug/L. |
