The Copper Basin staff have completed the TRC MDL for their spectrophotometer, it is 0.07 mg/L and will be attached to the November DMR. The outfall to the second pond was located so that representative sampling can be conducted. The utility has contacted Dillard Excavating to remove the solids from both settling ponds. It appears that the dechlorination tablets are not sufficient to remove chlorine before discharges so the utility will be working with their chemical vendor to install a temporary liquid dechlorination feed (Captor or equivalent) until the ponds have had the sludge removed and capacity/holding time is increased.
