EXHIBIT A:

Wastewater Testing and Operating Parameters

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Goal: DO = 1.0 – 2.0 mg/L Turn blowers off, and wait 5 – 10 minutes. Take sample from aeration basin and test immediately after sampling. If over the course of several tests during the 2-day maintenance visit, the DO is consistently too low, increase the amount of time that blowers are running. If the DO is consistently too high, decrease the amount of time that blowers are running. The wastewater treatment plant contractor will decrease/increase blower run times by small intervals not to exceed 15-minute increments.

Free and Total Chlorine Goal Free Chlorine = 0.5 – 1.5 mg/L If the plant has a chlorine contact tank, test the effluent being discharged from the plant. If free chlorine residuals do not meet the goals, the wastewater treatment plant contractor will adjust the chlorination rate. If free chlorine readings are consistently above the goal, reduce the amount of chlorination. If the readings are consistently below the goal, increase the amount of chlorination.

Chlorine Contact Time Goal CT = 20 mg/L-minutes The wastewater treatment plant maintenance contractor will measure the flow rate of the effluent discharged from the plant at peak hour flows and will calculate the disinfection contact time of the plant (time between injection of chlorine and the discharge of the effluent from the plant). The CT is calculated by multiplying the free chlorine residual (in mg/L) by the contact time. The wastewater treatment plant maintenance contractor will notify the Facility Manager if the CT is significantly less than the goal.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Goal = 50 mg/L The wastewater treatment plant contractor will sample the plant effluent for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). If the COD significantly exceeds the goal, the cleanliness of the plant and the effectiveness of the clarifier weirs will be checked and corrected by the contractor.
