summary
The City of Lima's Director of Utilities, Michael H. Caprella, submitted to Ohio EPA Northwest District Office the annual update to Lima's Control Strategy for Dissolved Hexavalent Chromium, as required by NPDES Permit 2PE00000*ND, Part I, C – Schedule of Compliance, B,3. The attached progress report covers monitoring results from June 2021 through June 2022 for Outfall 001 and numerous industrial pretreatment sources, all of which were below detectable limits for hexavalent chromium. No further control strategy updates were needed as the POTW is meeting its permit limits and no known sources of hexavalent chromium have been identified.
note
Document is a compliance correspondence letter (not a DFFO or consent decree) transmitting the annual Hexavalent Chromium Control Strategy progress report to Ohio EPA NWDO, per schedule-of-compliance requirements in NPDES Permit 2PE00000*ND. The permit number "2PE00000*ND" is rendered with an asterisk in the original; OCR confirmed against image. Received stamp reads JUN 23 2022, letter dated June 27, 2022 — discrepancy noted (received stamp precedes letter date; likely a stamping error).

⚠ Gaps in the record
- Received stamp date (JUN 23 2022) precedes the letter date (June 27, 2022), which is logically inconsistent. NOT an OCR misread — the stamp was re-rendered at 400 DPI and reads RECEIVED / JUN 2 3 2022 / OHIO EPA / NWDO unambiguously, the day digits struck in the darker wheel font. One of the two dates is wrong AT THE SOURCE and this document cannot say which; a date wheel left unadvanced is the likeliest [inference]. Recorded, not reconciled.
- This capture is the AGENCY'S FILE COPY of a letter the corpus also holds clean at edoc-1851184 (declared `oepa:2PE00000-cr6-progress-2022-06-27` in data/site/document-versions.yaml, canonical there). Pages 2-5 are the same progress report to 3 decimal places of text similarity; page 1 differs only by this stamp and a poorer scan. Cite the canonical for what the letter SAYS, and this capture for the STAMP ITSELF — that a receipt stamp exists on the agency's copy, and what it reads. It is NOT a citable receipt date — the stamp precedes the letter, so from these bytes the corpus cannot say when Ohio EPA received this filing [open].
- Permit number contains an asterisk ('2PE00000*ND') which may be a masking/redaction convention or OCR artifact; verified against image as printed.
- This is a compliance update letter/correspondence, not a primary enforcement instrument (no DFFO, consent decree, or NOV present in this document).
