About this file

This document is a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the City of Plant City's Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) for January 2024, submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under Permit Number FL0026557. The report covers multiple monitoring groups including D-002 (Outfall), D-003 and D-004 (Reclaimed Water Storage), R-001 (Land Application Public Access Reuse), and RMP-Q (Biosolids Quantity). The monitoring includes various parameters such as flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, pH, fecal coliform, chlorine residual, and turbidity, with measurements taken through continuous, daily, and weekly sampling methods at different monitoring sites.

The facility reported a monthly average flow of 3.233 MGD, with most parameters meeting permit requirements, though there was one notable exceedance of total suspended solids at 5.7 mg/L against a 5.0 mg/L maximum limit. The facility transferred 92.383 dry tons of biosolids during the month and did not landfill any biosolids. The report includes detailed comments about ongoing efforts to address fecal coliform levels, including super-chlorination, sand filter cleaning, and maintenance of chlorine contact chambers. The document was electronically signed by Patrick Murphy on 02/28/2024, certifying the accuracy of the reported information under penalty of law.

Start level for bleach tank was 4520, and stopped burn at 2am, level was 3776, 744 gallons of bleach, a 50+ mg/L dosage rate. Continued on next comment bubble:
