Compliance Inspection (Garland & Saline Co)
AFIN: 26-00105
NPDES Permit No.: AR0039284
63-00883
ARG640089
Dear Ms. Mayhood:
On August 22, 2013 I performed a routine compliance inspection of the Cedar Creek wastewater
treatment facility and the water treatment plant wastewater facility in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act, and
the regulations promulgated thereunder. This inspection revealed the following violations:
AR0039284
1. The grit removal system including the paddle drive and motor and the bar screen rake is out of
service due to excessive corrosion. These treatment units should be replaced or repaired as soon
as possible. This is a violation of Part III, Section B, 1, A of the permit.
2. At the time of the inspection, one of the two aerators in one of the two digesters was out of
service. This treatment unit should be replaced or repaired as soon as possible. This is a
violation of Part III, Section B, 1, A of the permit.
3. Chloride, Sulfate and TDS are being collected as a composite. The permit requires that these
samples be collected as a grab sample. This is a violation of Part 1A, Section A of the
permit.
4. Sample preservation is not being documented in the facility’s records. Typically this is noted on
the Chain of Custody (COC) forms. This is a violation of Part III, Section C, 3 of the permit.
5. The biomonitoring results indicate a dilution series of 32%, 42%, 56%, 80% and 100%. The
permit requires 32%, 45%, 56%, 80% and 100%. This is a violation of Part II, 10.1.a of the
permit.

1. The facility performs their own sampling and analysis of pH, TRC and Dissolved Aluminum.
Missing from the onsite records are the sample date, sample time, name or initials of sampler,
analyses date, analyses time, name or initials of analyst and the sample location. This is a
violation of Part 6.8 of the permit.
2. Excessive sludge has accumulated in the treatment pond. No sludge storage capacity was
available and sludge was observed being discharged to the receiving stream. Additionally,
excessively tall vegetation, specifically trees, has grown up on the interior banks of the pond
levees. This is a violation of Part 2.1 and 5.1 of the permit.
3. The facility is referencing HACH Method 8012 for analyzing Dissolved Aluminum. This is not
an approved method. This is a violation of Part 6.3 of the permit.
The above items require your immediate attention. Please submit a written response to these
findings to the Water Division Inspection Branch, of this Department. This response should be
mailed to the address below, or e-mailed to Water-Inspection-report@adeq.state.ar.us. This
response should contain documentation describing the course of action taken to correct each item
noted. This corrective action should be completed as soon as possible, and the written response
with all necessary documentations (i.e. photos) is due by September 18, 2013.
If I can be of any assistance, please contact me at 870 389-6970.

Mr. Lynch, The following are my interim responses to the reference Compliance Inspection report dated September 4, 2013. AR0039284 Response #1 – The grit removal system motor is being replaced and the gear box will be evaluated and replaced if needed to bring the unit on line. The bar screen rake is being rebuilt out of stainless steel. Response #2 – The digester aerator motor has shorted out and was sent to be rewound on 8‐12‐13. Response #3 – Grab samples per the permit will be taken for Chloride, Sulfate, and TDS beginning on the next round of sampling in October. Response #4 – Documentation of the sample preservation will be documented on the Chain of Custody form. Response #5 – The lab will use 45% dilution instead of 42% on the biomonitoring test beginning in October. 1
ARG640089 Response #1 – In house sampling records will include the sample date, time, name or initials of sampler, analyses date, analysis time, name or initials of analyst, and sample location on future in house testing. Response #2 – The clearing of the trees and vegetation around the sludge pond will be completed in September 2013. Evaluation of the existing sludge volumes for removal, dewatering, and disposal by land application of Water Treatment Residuals by General Permit No. 0000‐WG‐WR or to the Saline County land fill are currently being determined. Please note the receiving stream drains back to the reservoir for a closed system. None of the floating polymers you saw discharging leave the property and remain within the water treatment system. Response #3 – the testing for dissolved aluminum will be conducted by a licensed third party testing lab and in accordance with the permitted approved method. Upon completion of the repairs noted above, photos and further documentation will be sent. Thank you for assistance in bringing these deficiencies to our attention.

Dear Ms. Mayhood:
I have reviewed the response pertaining to my August 22, 2013 inspections of the Hot
Springs Village Cedar Creek wastewater treatment facility and the Hot Springs Village
water treatment facility. The information provided sufficiently addresses the violations
referenced in my inspection report. At this time, the Department has no further
comment concerning this particular inspection. Acceptance of this response by the
Department does not preclude any future enforcement action deemed necessary at this
site or any other site.
If we need further information concerning this matter, we will contact you. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
870 389-6970 or you may e-mail me at lynch@adeq.state.ar.us.

ARG640089 Response #1 – In house sampling records will include the sample date, time, name or initials of sampler, analyses date, analysis time, name or initials of analyst, and sample location on future in house testing. Response #2 – The clearing of the trees and vegetation around the sludge pond will be completed in September 2013. Evaluation of the existing sludge volumes for removal, dewatering, and disposal by land application of Water Treatment Residuals by General Permit No. 0000‐WG‐WR or to the Saline County land fill are currently being determined. Please note the receiving stream drains back to the reservoir for a closed system. None of the floating polymers you saw discharging leave the property and remain within the water treatment system. Response #3 – the testing for dissolved aluminum will be conducted by a licensed third party testing lab and in accordance with the permitted approved method. Upon completion of the repairs noted above, photos and further documentation will be sent. Thank you for assistance in bringing these deficiencies to our attention.
