summary
This is a follow-up correspondence from Ohio EPA's Northwest District Office, Division of Surface Water, responding to the City of Lima's June 15, 2016 reply to a June 1, 2016 Notice of Violation (NOV) related to a Sodium Hypochlorite Incident at the Lima WWTP. The letter constitutes a partial resolution of the NOV and requests that the City submit a revised SOP for filling the sodium hypochlorite tank within 14 days, addressing two specific corrections. Failure to comply may result in administrative or civil penalties under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 6111.07.
note
A Partial Resolution of Violation partially resolves the 2016-06-01 NOV; it does not replace it, so `supersedes` is null. Twin capture with the other 2016-07-11 docid — the cluster is declared in data/site/document-versions.yaml.
obligations
- requirement Submit a revised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for filling the sodium hypochlorite tank that: (1) corrects the Ohio EPA Spill Hotline number to 1-800-282-9378, and (2) includes a statement that in the event of a release of sodium hypochlorite, a grab sample of the final effluent will be collected and analyzed for residual chlorine.
- deadline 2016-07-25
- status pending
⚠ Gaps in the record
- case_no was read as '2PE00000' — that is the PERMIT number, not a case number, and this letter prints no docket or case number at all. Corrected to null to agree with edoc-1914761, the text-layer twin of the same 2016-07-11 Partial Resolution of Violation letter.
- ⚠️ This document has NO TEXT LAYER, so `source_text_excerpt` is empty and the entire reading came from one rendered page image. Confidence lowered high -> medium accordingly: the twin carries the same letter with a readable text layer and is the better copy to cite.
- Permit number '2PE00000' is taken directly from the Re line and may be a facility/case identifier rather than a standard NPDES permit number — verify.
- 14-day deadline calculated from letter date of 2016-07-11; exact deadline date not explicitly stated in document.
- No civil penalty assessed in this letter; penalty language is precautionary/prospective only.
