This report includes both permit violations and permit triggers. Permit triggers are not violations but rather when triggered require the permit holder to take an action defined in the permit. Benchmark exceedances and design criteria (85%) exceedances are permit triggers and not permit violations.

If the “is addressed” column in this report states “yes” then Ecology has taken an informal or formal action to address the violation or permit trigger. It does not refer to any action taken by the permit holder. Ecology’s performance goal is to address all permit violations for individual permits. The report includes NA (not applicable) for general permits.

More Info King County South WWTP WA0029581ActiveMunicipal NPDES IPRENTONKing1/1/2021N/AReporting ViolationsLate Submittal of DMRs     February 2021. Ecology does not routinely issue enforcement actions for those facilities that submit DMRs up to 5 days late. Ecology may consider taking action when facilities repeatedly submit their DMRs late.  
More Info King County South WWTP WA0029581ActiveMunicipal NPDES IPRENTONKing6/10/2020N/AEffluent ViolationsNumeric effluent violation   395 McKone: This is a tricky violation. The reported value is accurate and it exceeded the limit in the permit. However, I question whether the limit is appropriate for a short-duration, intermittent discharge. The reported value represented the average concentration discharged over 1.5 hrs into the Green River. Based on ambient sampling done at the time of this discharge, it did not appear to cause an exceedance of the water quality standard for the river.
