Short Description

Ecology conducted a Class II inspection at Ellensburg′s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) on August 8-10, 1988. The plant met all NPDES permit requirements at the time of the inspection. Effluent quality was excellent. Influent wastewater was very dilute. Chlorine was found to be a major component of effluent toxicity as noted by a series of bioassays. Ellensburg′s sludge contained very few contaminants. Sample splits compared generally very well. Several suggestions were made concerning laboratory procedures, influent sampling, and flow monitoring.
