The analytical batch was deemed non-reportable. Due to the nature of BOD testing, the sample could not be reanalyzed after the 5-day incubation period when results become known. Therefore, the permit BOD frequency requirements of 1/Day were not met. |

About two and a half weeks ago, MCBCP noticed the chlorine dosing for the raw groundwater was higher than usual and noticed liquid bubbling up from the asphalt. Subsequently, MCBCP discovered a chlorine leak in the pipeline that delivers chlorine from the AWT at Haybarn Canyon facility to IM Plant 24. Repairs to the pipeline started about two weeks ago. The location of the chlorine pipeline repair is shown in Photo 6 within the yellow caution tape. MCBCP estimated the spill was 25 gallons. MCBCP removed the soil around the area of the spill. While the repairs are taking place, MCBCP is using a different pipeline to deliver chlorine to the IM Plant 24. MCBCP is required to include all spill in the monthly self-monitoring report. |

Deficient Monitoring |
Due to a sample identification deficiency during the extraction process described in the SOP (1418) O_G_HEM Revision: 7 Section 14.4; the Oil and Grease result values for the 05/23, 05/24 Effluent grab samples were flagged as non-reportable. During the Base Neutral analysis under EPA 625.1, Diethyl phthalate was detected above the method detection limit in the method blank. Per stablished Quality Control criteria in SOP ID 6144 revision 11 section 16.4.2,3 results are non-reportable if the concentration in the blank is greater than one tenth the concentration in sample. Hence, the Diethyl phthalate obtained results for both 05/06 PLWTP¿s effluent and influent composite samples were flagged as non-reportable. |

I am writing to inform you that the 3A (M-001C) monthly samples from November 4th and November 5th are missing total suspended solids (TSS) analysis. The laboratory reports from the subcontracted lab note that: Please note, while TSS was requested on the sample, the laboratory stated there was not enough sample volume remaining in order to perform the TSS analysis. Sierra was not made aware of this issue until December 11, 2024 which did not allow them enough time to resample. |

IRWD Regulatory Compliance Monitoring staff missed the May 4th composite sample of the secondary effluent to South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA) Region 9 Aliso Creek Ocean Outfall (ACOO). The composite sample was missed due to new staff and a misunderstanding during this atypical operational event. |

A monthly oil and grease sample was missed at M-001E for the reporting period. This was due to an error in sample preparation and an accidental oversight in the master schedule which cause the sample to be missed. All other samples for the month were collected as planned. Since no operational changes occurred during this period, no differences in results are expected compared to previous months |

Brine tank spill at Advanced Water Treatment Plant (AWT) at Haybarn Canyon. The estimated spill volume that percolated into the ground is 216,900 gallons. The brine spilled onto the asphalt pavement around the tank and percolated in the surrounding earth. The tank is equipped with an overflow pipe, but was not functioning. The level indicator system appears to have failed as we were not notified of a high level in the tank. The level transducer was inspected and corrosion was found on the connection point to the reservoir. The connection was cleaned, the transducer will be replaced, and signal to the AWT control room will be tested to confirm operation and determine if this was cause for alarm reporting failure. |

On June 10, 2021, the sewage sludge force main between the South Orange County Wastewater Authority¿s (SOCWA¿s) Coastal Treatment Plan (CTP) and the Regional Treatment Plant experienced a pipeline failure resulting in a spill of non-chlorinated sewage sludge within the Aliso and Woods Canyons Wilderness Park (AWCWP) (Figure 1). The spill was situated along a dirt maintenance road off Alicia Parkway on the east side of Aliso Creek; the road is intended to provide the dual purpose of providing access to existing sewer and wastewater infrastructure as well as providing trail use to those who recreate in the AWCWP (Figure 2). The pipeline leak was repaired, and the spill was contained on the same day. A total spill volume of approximately 1,920 gallons of sewage sludge was released, cleaned up, and disposed of properly offsite. |

Due to a power outage at the PLWTP and an autosampler sensor malfunction, the composite effluent samples from the 03/30/25 and 03/31/25 collections may have been affected. The collected sample during 03/30/25 may differ from the composite sample definition stated in the ORDER NO. R9-2017-0007; NPDES NO. CA0107409 Part 2. ¿ Glossary of Common Terms ¿Daily Discharge¿. The 03/30/2025 effluent composite sample was obtained from a combination of at least eight sample aliquots of at least 100 mL at periodic intervals during the time frame from 12:00 am to 09:30 am; therefore, the sample not necessarily reflects the plant¿s operating hours over a 24-hour period for the following analyses: Floatable solids, BOD, TDS, TSS_VSS. The 03/31/2025 effluent composite sample was obtained from a combination of at least eight sample aliquots of at least 100 mL at periodic intervals during the time frame from 12:00 am to 23:59 pm. Due to autosampler sensor malfunction it¿s possible that the effluent composite sample collected during 03/31/25 may differ from the ¿flow proportional¿ composite sample definition stated in the ORDER NO.

1. Due to the matrix sample nature the percent RPD value in batch 24341BOD55 was outside the method acceptance criteria stated on SOP (1467) BOD_WW_SED_SLDS Revision 10; Section 16.1.4; For the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) analysis of Effluent samples, collected on 12/04/24 and 12/05/24. The analytical batch was deemed non-reportable. Due to the nature of BOD testing, the sample could not be reanalyzed after the 5-day incubation period when results become known. Therefore, the permit BOD frequency requirements of 1/Day were not met. 2. Base Neutral analysis under EPA 625.1 results showed %RPD outside of criteria for Hexachlorocyclopentadiene. The results for effluent, effluent duplicate where all not-detected (ND). The Internal Check 1, Matrix Spike 1 and Matrix Spike duplicate were within acceptance recovery limits. Batch met accuracy but not precision criteria therefore, per QA criteria the results in SOP ID 6144 revision 10 section 16.8 and 16.9, the results for Hexachlorocyclopentadiene are not reportable. |
