Deficient Monitoring |
Echowater Facility lost continuous monitoring of the EFF-001 for approximately 8 minutes when a contractor working on upgrading the Emerson Ovation Plant Computer Control System made an error and connected a wire to the wrong system. Operations immediately diverted discharge from the river; however, it takes approximately 8 minutes for the valve to close. The dechlorination process continued to operate automatically by a local Programmable Logic Controller, and an area operator at that location manually checked and ensured all values remained within compliance with the permit; however, the 8 minutes of lost data could not be recovered. See cover letter for additional details. |

Order Conditions |
On 13 December 2020, approximately 400,000 gallons of Chlorinated Secondary Effluent (CSE) spilled at the Facility due to a failure of a restrained coupler in an underground high pressure reclaimed water pipe. The majority of the spill discharged to pavement and drained back to the treatment plant¿s headworks; however, a portion of the spill discharged to dry land and was not recovered. No surface water was impacted by the spill. The failed section of pipe was replaced with a restrained sleeve coupling in accordance with current design standards and recurrence of the spill is unlikely. The 13 December 2020 spill is a violation of WDRs Discharge Prohibition III.A, which prohibits discharge of wastewater in a manner different from what the WDRs describe. |

Deficient Monitoring |
On May 2, 2021 laboratory staff collected a CFE sample while SRWTP was in diversion. This sample was taken while SRWTP was not discharging to the Sacramento River, therefore the sample was not representative of the discharge for that day. |
