Out of Compliance
5/31/2023
Compliance Eval (non-sampling) (CEI)
A complete inspection was conducted on May 31, 2023. Pond 001 and 002 were both retaining turbid water, but neither were discharging at the time of inspection. The exposed high wall area drains to pond 002 via ditches and culverts, which were clear and functioning at the time of inspection. No on site compliance issues were identified during the inspection. However, this permit is out of compliance for failure to submit first quarter 2023 discharge monitoring reports.
