    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Business owner concerned about the appearance of the receiving Stream and some odor. Complaint made to the owner by an anonymous visitor. Photos were provided to the business owner Mr. William Cochran.

    WOH reviewed the discharge point and spoke to Operators. A decant was observed. Photos were recorded. At low flow some fiber was observed at the permitted discharge. This was discussed. A simple screening system was suggested by WOH in order to prevent the accumulation of fiber in the stream.

    Discoloration complaint and solids loss could not be substantiated. An odor was not observed.
