    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Jim Saunders (Jacobs Creek CCC WWTP operator) called BBC at 15:06 on 2/6/2020 to report that the sanitary WWTP at the center was overflowing. Mr. Saunders reported the center had received over 2.9" of rainfall this week. The resultant I&I and high WWTP influent flow overwhelmed the treatment capacity. Septic haulers are being used to pump down the plant as much as possible and help alleviate some of the overflow impact.

    The overflow continued periodically from 2/6/2020 through 2/15/2020. Influent flow subsided to treatable levels after 2/15/2020.
