Short Description

The Pullman wastewater treatment plant was operating at a high efficiency and being well maintained at the time of the Class II Inspection on July 23-25; and again during a resampling on October 1-3, 1991. Nearly full nitrification was occurring on both occasions. However, past treatment plant records indicate that full nitrification is not predictable. Hydraulic and waste loads to the plant are approaching design criteria.

Abstract Long Description

The Pullman wastewater treatment plant was operating at a high efficiency and being well maintained at the time of the Class II Inspection on July 23-25; and again during a resampling on October 1-3, 1991. Nearly full nitrification was occurring on both occasions. However, past treatment plant records indicate that full nitrification is not predictable. Hydraulic and waste loads to the plant are approaching design criteria.

The Albion wastewater treatment plant was violating permit limits for TSS and pH during the July inspection. There was no discharge in October. There was excessive sludge buildup in the chlorine contact channel. Laboratory results from Albion's influent BOD and TSS samples were dramatically different from Ecology's results.
