Abstract Long Description

Announced Basin Class II Inspections were conducted at two municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and three industrial WWTPs in the Spokane River basin during March 22-24, 1993. A separate inspection report was written for each discharger in the basin. This report is based on the inspection conducted at the Spokane Industrial Park WWTP.

The plant met permit requirements for five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), TSS, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, ammonia, pH, nickel, zinc, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Copper and lead concentrations exceeded final permit limits, but met interim limits. The copper concentration was roughly 40-50 times higher than water quality criteria. It is recommended that Pelletier's Spokane River metals study be consulted to assess any impact of metals to the receiving water.
