NPDES DISCHARGE PERMIT NONCOMPLIANCE REPORTING FORM Date: 12/13/94 Applicable Permit No.: CO-0001121 Discharge No.: 001 A 1.
GENERAL Company: Public Service Comoany of Colorado Mailing Address: P.O. Box 840 Denver. CO 80201 Plant Name: Fort St. Vrain Station Plant imcation: Near Platteville. Colorado County: Weld II. NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT A. Description and Cause of Noncompliance: A sample collected at discharge point 001A at 1:00 p.m. on 12/13/94 exhibited a pH of 9.5 s.u. The cause of this elevated pH is biological (photoplankton) activity in the farm pond. Water discharged into the pond from the Goosequill Ditch has a pH less than 9.0 s.u.
B. Noncompliance Period:
Started:
A.M.
1:00 P.M. 12/13/94 Date Ended:
A.M.
P. M.
Date C. Action Taken to Reduce, Eliminate, Prevent: A year-long study was implemented on May 1993 to determine the causes of high pH in the 001 A outfall from the farm pond. This study was completed on 9/30/94 and submitted to the CWQCD. The conclusion of the study was that elevation of pH across the farm pond was related to biological (photoplankton) activity. A permit amendment was submitted for public notice in November 1994, which will delete the pH limitations for outfall 001 A.
