Violations and Permit Triggers

Use this report to view violations and permit triggers. These include benchmark and limit exceedances on monitoring data, late permit submittals and other violations noted during an inspection. Click the "More Info" link to view more information about the violation/trigger including any related enforcement actions.

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.

A large portion of their lagoon system was frozen over causing lagoon process performance upset resulting in elevated TSS levels during that time. It's getting better later this month, but the overall effluent TSS levels are still higher than the permit limits.

It's a permit violation if the calculations of effluent TSS MoAvg are based on data for Outfall 100 only but it's not a permit violation if calculations are based on all data from Outfall 001 and Outfall 100. This is not a permit violation. This is a DMR setup issue in the current permit.

It's received on 5/31/22. However, the submittal due date is listed 5/21/22 in PARIS. This was a setup error in PARIS. This is not a late submittal/permit violation.
