Deficient Monitoring |
On 12/14/2024, M1W lost commercial power to AWPF and communications at IWF due to severe weather. As a result, M1W was unable to collect the required daily coliform sample from PWPS. While the requirement is based on a 7-day median and historically there have been no exceedances, M1W collected samples from the DIWs on 12/16 and 12/17 which were all ND. |

Late Report |
The AWPF experienced a hold time exceedance in the month of May for the AWPF influent TOC sample. M1W?s instrument was out of service which required samples be sent to a contract lab for analysis. The contract lab completed analysis out of the required hold time. The results are reported in Table 18 with a data qualifier for analysis outside of hold time. |

Deficient Monitoring |
2/4/2024 M1W failed to obtain a sample at PWPS for total coliform. On 2/5/2024 M1W notified regulators and was directed to obtain samples every hour for 3 hours at DIW-3 and DIW-4 (for a total of 6 samples/well) and analyze them for total coliform. All results were ND. See attached email communication for additional information. |

For RSW-A Entero samples obtained on 2/13/2024 and 2/22/2024 there was a violation of the 30-day Geo Mean. Neither of those samples exceeded the single sample maximum; furthermore, the results for the sample obtained on 2/26/2024 brought us back into compliance. M1W staff believes the exceedances were a result of a plume from the Salinas River following storm events that preceded with our ocean sampling events. |

Heptachlor Monthly Average limit is 0.00005 ug/L and reported value was .000171 ug/L at EFF-001B. *** MMP Exempt Reason:Recorded value is above the effluent limitation but is below the Ocean Plan RL of 0.01 ug/L for heptachlor. Therefore, the discharger is not subject to MMP's for this sample result. |
