SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
Site Entry and Inspection Objectives
NPDES inspection
I, Region 5 Lead Inspector, Dean Maraldo, arrived at the Upper Sioux Community (the "Site" or "Facility"), located at coordinates 4445' N, 9529' W, at 09:15 AM (CT) on 06/29/2022 for an announced inspection. Region 5 Inspectors Monica Dix and Matthew Schulte joined me for the inspection. I presented my credentials to Matt Schommer, the Director of Public Works ("Director") and informed him that this was a Region 5 inspection to determine compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The inspection was conducted under the authority of the Federal CWA (Section 308). The table above identifies the attendees that participated in the inspection. This report is based on information supplied by Facility representatives, observations made by the Region 5 inspectors, and records and reports maintained by the permittee and the Region 5 inspectors, including: direct observations made by the Region 5 inspectors, photographs taken by Region 5 inspectors, physical evidence collected by the Region 5 inspectors, verbal or written statements made by or information supplied by Facility representatives (the permittee) during or subsequent to the on-site inspection, and materials, processes, data, photographs, or documents shown, demonstrated, or submitted to the Region 5 inspectors by Facility representatives during or subsequent to the on - site Inspection. In addition, information gathered prior to or subsequent to the inspection from a review of USEPA, State, and public records may be included in this report.
After opening introductions, we went over the inspection plan for the day. I asked if there were any questions. The Director had no questions.
Facility/Site Description
I began by asking about the Facility information provided in the latest published permit fact sheet (2012). The Director confirmed the following:
Wastewater flows are pumped to the treatment facility from three lift stations. Raw screening removes large objects from the waste stream prior to the treatment units. Biological treatment is accomplished utilizing a membrane bioreactor process. This process consists of an
extended aeration activated sludge basin followed by membrane filters. Prior to entering the membrane filtration tanks, fine screens remove any fibrous material which may
damage the membranes. In addition to the membrane system, final clarifiers (2) designed to handle periods of high hydraulic load
to the facility provide solids separation for a portion of the facility flow. Disinfection is accomplished utilizing ultraviolet disinfection. The average daily design flow is 63,445 gallons per day, the average wet weather design flow is 95,061
gallons per day, the peak design day flow is 107,531 gallons per day and the peak hourly design flow is
130,000 gallons per day. The effluent discharges through Outfall 001 to the Minnesota River (Latitude: 4445' N, Longitude:
9529' W). Collection system includes about 6 miles of sewer.

Reviewed chronic effluent limit exceedances:
30 effluent limit exceedances were reported by the Facility from February 2018 to April 2022. According to the Director, TSS, Phosphorus, and Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD5) violations may be due to a tear in MBR membrane. Assuming a tear, MBR filters scheduled for replacement this year. The Director hoping the new pumps might help with consistent flow. Document(s)

Unit: Physical inspection of WWTF/Headworks Observation #: DM1-OB-009
Contains CBI: No Date: 06/29/2022
We began the physical plant inspection at 12:40 pm on June 29, 2022. We were joined by Mike Termont (Indian Health Service). The Director led the physical inspection tour. I confirmed there were no CBI concerns regarding photographs or documentation.
Headworks room: I observed the primary screw screen (see photo UPSC0001). The Director said the system is working well. I also observed the influent flow meter and parshall flume (see photo UPSC0002). The headworks also includes a backup bar screen used when the primary screw screen is under maintenance (see photo UPSC0003).

Unit: Physical inspection of WWTF/Clarifiers Observation #: DM1-OB-011
Contains CBI: No Date: 06/29/2022
Final clarifiers and effluent tank. I observed the two final clarifiers that receive partial flow from the aeration basins/EQ tanks. According to the Director, flow is distributed between the MBR and final clarifier. He provided a copy of the June 2022 WWTP log sheet (attached) showing effluent flow volumes from clarifiers and MBR. The clarifiers receive any flows the MBRs cannot handle. This situation can occur during drinking water tower backwash events, high flows, or significant casino events. The Director also explained that they are planning to install new pumps in the EQ basins to help regulate and provide consistent flows to the MBRs to reduce the need to use clarifiers. Effluent from clarifiers flows to the UV treatment system. See overview photo of covered clarifiers and effluent tank (photo UPSC0006).

I observed the effluent (photo UPSC0010) and influent (UPSC0011) auto samplers. I noted that both auto samplers lacked thermometers to confirm samples are cooled and preserved as required by Permit Part II.3.C and 40 CFR Part 136. Mike Termont confirmed the influent auto sampler was configured for flow-based collection. The Director confirmed the effluent auto sampler was programmed to collect flow-based samples.
