| Abstract | Long Description |
A Class II Inspection was conducted at the city of Kennewick Wastewater Treatment Plant on April 27-29, 1992. The effluent met National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. The removal efficiencies for BOD5 and TSS were above the 85% requirement. BOD5 and TSS loadings, as well as flow to the plant, were well within design criteria. The effluent total ammonia concentration exceeded acute and chronic freshwater quality criteria. However, the receiving water may provide adequate dilution to minimize this toxicity. Among pesticides, three organophosphorus compounds were found present; no organochlorine pesticides or PCBs were detected. Split sample and performance evaluation sample analyses were generally acceptable, though TSS and residual chlorine (performance evaluation samples), and fecal coliform showed some discrepancies. However, an on-site review of laboratory procedures indicated a number of deficiencies that must be corrected. Other minor recommendations are included in the report. |
