ON 2/19/98, EPA RECEIVED THE RESPONDENT'S ANNUAL SLUDGE REPORT. THE ANNUAL SLUDGE REPORT INDICATED THAT APPROX. 694 DRY METRIC TONS OF SEWAGE SLUDGE WERE DISPOSED VIA LAND APPLICATION. BASED ON THE AMOUNT DISPOSED, THE RESPONDENT SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED DATA OF A MONITORING FREQUENCY OF AT LEAST ONCE PER QUARTER OR 4 TIMES A YEAR. DATA WERE SUBMITTED FOR LESS THAN THE REQUIRED MONITORING EVENT. THE ANNUAL REPORT DID NOT PROVIDE DATA TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH THE VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS. ON JUNE 5, 1998, EPA CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION OF THE RESPONDENT'S FACILITIES SUBJECT TO THE REQUIRMENTS OF THE ACT AND 40 CFR PART 503. THE RESPONDENT OWNS AND OPERATES A POTW IN WICH THE SEWAGE SLUDGE IS AEROBICALLY TREATED AND DEWATERED. THE SEWAGE SLUDGE IS TRANSPORTED BY A COMMERCIAL HAULER AND LAND APPLIER TO VARIOUS LAND APPLICATION SITES LOCATED IN ALABAMA FOR DISPOSAL. THE REFERENCED EPA INSPECTION IDENTIFIED DEFICIENCIES IN THE AREA OF RECORDKEEPING, MONITORING FREQUENCY, VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION REQUIRMENTS, AND SAMPLE HOLDING TIMES.
