1✓ � The last complete servicing of the plant was conducted on May 30, 2010. All three systems were activated, checked for function, and found to be working properly. Pumps, floats, and wiring were inspected to verify proper operation. An air compressor was replaced. The system is serviced approximately every three months, which includes pumping of the lift station and the first chamber of each of the three MicroSepTec systems to remove sludge. The routine service involves inspection of each of the chambers to verify aeration and testing of the floats and pumps to verify all functions are operating properly. System number three has been shut down due to the failure of Filter Bed #3. Filter Bed #1 and Filter Bed #2 are currently operational. 2. A cement wall with an addition of a three foot fence with privacy slats has been installed at the east and southeast sides of the plant to enclose the system and to protect the sewage disposal area from unauthorized persons gaining entry. Pictures were taken on December 4, 2008 of the original installation and are on record with the permanent file. 3. Weeds have been removed and other locations within the filter bed areas appear to be maintained. There is minimal weed growth occurring throughout the filter bed areas. This facility shall continue to maintain weed control and implement a weed control program through a consistent spraying of an herbicide approved by the State of California for application without detrimental effects to the operation and maintenance of the sewage package treatment plant. The Environmental Health Department {EHD} recommends landscaping with shallow rooted grasses to aid in the uptake of effluent from the filter beds. 4. Currently, the tanks are pumped of solids on a routine basis every three months as needed. Continue to maintain this routine and operation. Filter Bed #1 and Filter Bed #2 are currently being utilized and shall continue to be the primary filter bed systems from this date forward. The following was observed at the monitoring ports for Filter Bed #1, Filter Bed #2, and Filter Bed #3: Filter Bed#1 - Monitoring observation port not accessible. Filter Bed#2 -Monitoring observation port not accessible. Filter Bed#3 - Monitoring observation port not accessible. 5. For the permitting year of 2010, analytical testing and reporting to the EHD may be required as part of a condition of the permit. The monitoring frequency is to be determined 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 Nitrate and Ammonia BOD - Biological Oxygen Demand TSS - Total Suspended Solids pH CBOD— Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand 6. The sewage package treatment plant appears to be operating efficiently at Filter Bed #1 and Filter Bed #2 at the time of inspection. Filter Bed #3 is in failure and will no longer be utilized as part of the sewage disposal system. Continue to maintain and operate the plant according to San Joaquin County On - Site Waste Water Disposal Standards. A copy of this report will be forwarded to Bernie Dietz, Certified Waste Water Treatment Plant Operator. 2
