WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
• The Gravity Thickener was drained for inspection of the coating work done by the
contractor F.D. Thomas in February 1996. The coating material contains some
bubbles which will have to be repaired. The Contractor is being notified of the
problem. The phosphorus removal process was working very well prior to shutting
down the Gravity Thickener. Total phosphorus was averaging 0.17 ppm. When the
Gravity Thickener was drained it was necessary to add alum for 10 days to keep the
total phosphorus within the permit limits and allow the production of volatile fatty
acids time to recover. We are now checking to see if we can discontinue the use of
alum.
• Our Permit requires that we do certain tests in Ashley Creek at specific sites above
and below the Plant. For several weeks we were unable to reach the site below
Ashley Creek because of heavy snow accumulations. Now we are also unable to
reach the site above the Plant on Ashley Creek. This situation has been reported to
the State.
• We are experiencing a problem with either or both of our Plant flow measuring
devices. We are working with our Consultant Engineer in Libby and with the State to
resolve the problem.
• The huge volume of snow is causing some minor problems, although our real
problems will begin when it starts to melt! We are using our 1983 Jeep and an old
1964 backhoe to move snow so we can operate.
