Abstract Long Description

A Class II inspection was conducted at the Pullman Sewage Treatment Plant on September 16 and 17, 1986. The facility, a bio-tower/activated sludge secondary plant discharging into the South Fork of the Palouse River, was providing good biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and total suspended solids (TSS) removal. Reduced effluent ammonia and chlorine residual concentrations were observed in comparison to a pre-upgrade survey conducted in 1978. All parameters were below or within National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limits, with the exception of the effluent ammonia concentration which exceeded the allowed monthly average. Collection of limited receiving water data by STP personnel is suggested to help evaluate the ammonia permit limits.
