� '_W 2) The ponds demonstrated minimal weeds at banks of all locations and minimal erosion was noted. The Maintenance Facility Manager Steven Schnabel was onsite for the inspection and indicated that he would be spraying Round-up within the next week to mitigate the weeds. Due to winds, the application of Round-up has not been successful over the past several weeks. Round-up is sprayed to control weeds at all perimeter locations of the ponds and the fenced sewage treatment plant. A perimeter fence surrounds all the ponds and is not easily accessed. Pond#2 and Pond #3 have been used during the heavy rains over the last several months and it was observed upon inspection that little water exists in the ponds at this time. Once the float is alarmed in pond #1, waste water is directed into pond #4 for overflow. There are no aerators in pond #2, or pond #3. Duckweed was observed in pond #4. The only method by which duckweed can be removed is by mechanical means such as a raking and or skimming technique. Continue to maintain duckweed and control by mechanical removal methods. 3) The waste water plant appears to be operating and functioning within San Joaquin County Sewage Standards. All areas are well maintained and the staff monitors the plant on a daily basis. The findings of the inspection were discussed with Steven Schnabel, Facility Maintenance Manager. Continue to maintain and operate sewage package treatment plant accordingly. Excellent maintenance and continued surveillance of the water monitoring is having a positive impact on operation and management of the sewage treatment plant. Erosion control measures have been implemented in Pond #1. Rip-rap has been placed on the south-facing bank to prevent potential erosion. No erosion is taking place at this time. Pictures have been taken for the file and a copy of all pictures will be sent to responsible parties. 4) For the permitting year of 2009, analytical testing and reporting to the Environmental Health Department (END) may be required as part of a condition of the permit. The monitoring frequency is to be determined at a later date by the EHD. The waste water may be required to be sampled for the following constituents by an employee of a state certified analytical laboratory and results submitted to the EHD: TKN - Includes Nitrates and Ammonia BOD - Biological Oxygen Demand TSS - Total Suspended Solids pH CBOD— Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand If you have any questions or concerns call Lisa Medina, Sr. R.E.H.S., at(209)468-3455. -5;ta, &��_ 4, Rodney Estrada, REHS Lead Senior Registered Environmental Health Specialist Attachments 2
