Data reporting and accuracy reflect the working environment, the design capabilities and reliability of the monitoring instruments and operating equipment.

All reported concentrations are based on daily discharge values.

Total residual chlorine is performed three times per week during chlorination unless otherwise indicated.

Analytical values which are less than detectable are reported as zero unless otherwise indicated. * ,.

Analytical results for all parameters other than pH, temperature, TSS, TRC and Bioassay results are provided by Raytheon Environmental Services Laboratory.
