Abstract Long Description

The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) conducted a Class II Inspection at the Ocean Spray Cranberries' wastewater treatment plant in Markham, Washington, on February 1-2, 1993.

Effluent from outfall 001 met permit requirements for flow, pH, total residual chlorine, fecal coliform, total suspended solids (TSS), and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). Effluent from outfall 002 met permit requirements except for pH. Split sample analyses revealed disparities in effluent BOD5 measurements. In addition, the permittee's influent sampler collected a weaker sample than the Ecology sampler. The low fecal coliform counts and occasional high total residual chlorine levels in effluent suggested over-chlorination. The discharger's influent and effluent composite sample temperatures were higher than the recommended 4°C. Other minor recommendations are included in this report.
