We also plan to have this flow information put on our "system flow" report which is printed by the computer on a daily basis and also provides a monthly summary. -The total flow through the Plant was 49.5570 million gallons, with the average daily flow at 1.5986 million gallons. It is interesting to note that when we experienced heavy rainfall on January 31, the daily flow was 2.266 million gallons. -We continue to have visitors from different parts of the world. This month an individual from Norway with a PHD in Civil Engineering had heard about the Plant and came for a tour. -The Laboratory Analyst performed 450 laboratory tests; the Operators and Laboratory Analyst did 101 work orders. -The Plant operated within the Discharge Permit limits this month. The Plant "bugs" think it is spring as the weather has been so mild, so we are having to make adjustments, such as wasting more sludge. The Plant requires this kind of constant monitoring and adjusting as conditions never remain the same. -Two Operators attended the "Confined Space" training school in Helena. This course is particularly helpful as we have many confined spaces in the Plant. -We did not have any pager call -out alarms this month for the third month in a row. -We hauled 218.5 tons of sludge to Olney (19 trips) with an average solids content of 15.8%.

Three minor deficiencies were noted and have been or are being currently corrected. The Compliance Officer remarked that usually in a facility this size he would have a list of many deficiencies. He also remarked that it is nice to see a work place that is so safety conscious. -Twice a year the Plant effluent is tested for toxicity to certain species of fish. We passed the test done in December without any problems. -Bob Piorek, Laboratory Technician/Operator, was Temporary Acting Manager from December 23, 1994, to January 5, 1995. -A new Operator, Kevin Durocher, began at the Plant on December 19th. Kevin has a B.S. Degree in Water Quality from Northern Montana College in Havre. -We did not have any pager call -outs during this month. This is the second month in a row without any call -outs. -The Plant began working a 7 day/week, 8 hour/day workweek on November 1. The City is presently working with the Union to finalize a rotating shift schedule so that the Operators will not have to work one day of every weekend. -The Plant personnel did 144 work orders this month. In addition, they performed routine maintenance. Even the task of changing light bulbs becomes a major project; for example, in the Digester Building they changed out 40 fluorescent bulbs, requiring a high lift hoist to reach most of the fixtures. The Plant's corrosive gases, even in small amounts, take their toll on electrical and mechanical equipment. Even ordering and receiving parts can become difficult --we have been working with a valve company since the first of the month to get a replacement gear and we do not have the part yet. We tried to have the gear rebuilt locally, but were unsuccessful. -We are working on setting up the Confined Space program and are presently designating areas that are considered confined spaces. -The Plant operated well within the Discharge Permit limits this month; for example, the phosphorus averaged 0.24 mg/l, and the total suspended solids averaged 2 mg/l. We are experiencing foaming, which is due to long stringy bacteria which tend to float on top. This problem is prevalent in biological nutrient removal plants, and seems to occur in the winter and early spring. -We hauled 215 tons of sludge to Olney (20 loads) with an average solids content of 16.2%. -The "gate" that controls the level of the water coming into the cells where the bacteria do their nutrient removal has not worked since the Plant started up 2 years ago. This gate is important because it keeps the water quiet so as not to put in extra air so the nutrient removal process can work properly. We have been getting by without the gate since we are not at full capacity and can use an extra cell to let the water be quiet; ultimately though this cell is needed. Therefore, one of the Operators and our Electrical/Mechanical Engineer set out to find the problem and discovered a defective potentiometer and extensive useless programming in the PLC. The potentiometer and programming were both replaced --hence the gate now works. -The total flow through the Plant this month was 49.141 million gallons, with an average daily flow of 1.585 million gallons. ly7j►l�l- i TO: Bruce Williams, City Manager Douglas Rauthe, Mayor City Council Members FROM: Mike Baker, Parks Director RE: January Activity Report DATE: February 14, 1995 January was a cold weather month for ice skating, and its traditional warming spells caused uncertainty for ice skating lessons. Park Crews chipped 2,700 Christmas Trees, an increase of 200 trees from last year. Urban Forestry pruning and removals are underway. Vandelism at Depot Park picnic tables continues to be a problem. The Aerial Lift bids were opened on January 18, 1995, and bid awarded to Kois Brothers. Expect to receive the equipment by mid -March, 1995. Lawrence Park waterline is completed. The Consultant Services contract for North Main/Lawrence Park Trail was approved by the State Department of Transportation, and construction documents for Woodland Park ISTEA are under review for historic preservation. The Kalispell Community Tennis Complex will go to bid shortly. A consultant was chosen for Lawrence Park rest room and preliminary design has begun.
