On the morning of July 29,
2010, ten turbidity samples were collected in the sediment basin. The
turbidity readings were all close to the performance standard of 250 NTUs,
so the skimmer was flipped (11:20 am) to allow discharge from the
sedimentation basin. Turbidity readings collected at the discharge
point just after discharge were just above the performance standard (highest
being 300 NTUs), so the skimmer was immediately flipped (11:30 am) to stop
discharge from the sedimentation basin.
USEPA, PADEP, and Throop Borough were kept informed
on stormwater management activities during the period from July 19 to August
2, 2010.
A formal
non-compliance report
covering the period from July 19 to August 2, 2010 was submitted to PADEP on
August 4, 2010.
