Deficient Monitoring |
Discharge was notified by the outside laboratory that the Oil and Grease sample for analysis taken on 8/28/2023 to satisfy the M-001 NPDES sampling for the compliance week of 8/27/2023 to 9/2/2023 are to be considered estimated values. This is due to the laboratory reporting that Low recovery was observed for total oil and grease in the LCS/LCSD for the batch. No additional sample volume remained for re-extraction or re-analysis. |

Discharger was notified by the outside laboratory that the Oil and Grease sample for analysis taken on 8/14/2023 to satisfy the M-001 NPDES sampling for the compliance week of 8/13/2023 to 8/19/2023 was determined to be invalid. After total consumption of the sample volume, it was determined the LCS stock standard was invalid. Therefore, Oil and Grease results must be considered as estimated values due to missing positive control QC. |
