The objective of the CSI was to gather information necessary to determine compliance with the requirements and limitations of the NPDES Permit; NY0026514. 2.0 KEY PARTICIPANTS Listed below are key inspection participants and contact information, grouped by organization. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Thuan Tran; Physical Scientist, Lead Inspector 732-321-4455; email: tran.thuan@epa.gov Robert Morrell; Geologist New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Pradeep Jangbari; Environmental Engineer 585-226-5321; email: Pradeep.jangbari@dec.ny.gov Michele Vincent; Environmental Engineer 585-226-5468; email: michele.vincent@dec.ny.gov City of Batavia Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) Kevin Volk; Chief Plant Operator 585-345-6412; email: kvolk@batavianewyork.com John Sanko; Industrial Pretreat Program 3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 3.1 General Information The City of Batavia WPCP began operating in 1990 as a 5.5 million gallons per day (MGD) treatment facility. The facility is located at 5 Treadeasy Avenue that replaced the City's old mechanical wastewater treatment plant which was located on the south bank of Tonawanda Creek east of River Street. The City of Batavia WPCP is a natural treatment process and is categorized as Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 4952-Sewerage Systems and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 221320-Sewage Treatment Facilities. The City of Batavia WPCP employs four (4) personnel and operates between 7:00AM to 3:15PM, Monday to Sunday. The City of Batavia WPCP serves the City of Batavia, portion of the Town of Batavia and some industrial users. Wastewater is conveyed to the WPCP through the sewer collection system with the assistance of thirteen (13) pump stations with the Central and O-AT-KA Page 2 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 pump stations having backup generators. In addition, the WPCP receives approximately 10,000 gallons of septage per day. 3.2 Process Information Incoming wastewater is monitored by a Parshall Flume with an ultrasonic flow sensor. From the Parshall Flume, the influent continues to the preliminary treatment processes consisting of screening and grit removal. Screening is provided by the Mechanical Bar Screen to remove rags and large solids that are greater than inch in diameter. The wastewater passes the bar screen and flows into the Aerated Grit Chamber. Heavy solids settled to the bottom of the grit chamber while the waste stream splits between Aeration Ponds #1 and #2. Effluent from Aeration Ponds #1 & #2 is directed into Aeration Pond #3. Aluminum sulfate (Alum) is dosed into Aeration Pond #3 effluent as the wastewater flows into Secondary Pond #1 for phosphorus removal. The effluent continues to Secondary Pond #2 for further natural treatment. The effluent from Secondary Pond #2 is directed into the lift station that pumps it to Tertiary Pond #1. The wastewater continues sequentially to Tertiary Pond #2, followed by Tertiary Pond #3 and finally Tertiary Pond #4. From Tertiary Pond #4, the effluent splits between the wetlands and the discharged pipe. Approximately 20% of the effluent flow continues to the wetlands where it is monitored by a 3-feet rectangular weir with an ultrasonic flow sensor. The effluent is further treated by natural means through Wetland #1, followed by Wetland #2 and last Wetland #3. The bulk of the effluent is monitored by a 5feet rectangular weir with an ultrasonic flow sensor. The effluent continues in the discharged pipe. The two flows come together at the pH Control/Post Aeration Chamber. After postaeration, the effluent flows to the sampling pit and continues to Tonawanda Creek where it discharges via Outfall 001. Rags and large objects are removed from the Mechanical Bar Screen. Grits are removed from the Aerated Grit Chamber. Rags, large objects, and grits are disposed of at a landfill. The filtrate from rags, large objects, and grit removal is directed to the head of the Mechanical Bar Screen for treatment. Sludge in the ponds has never been removed except for Aeration Pond #1 and the Secondary Pond #1. The sludge from Aeration Pond #1 was removed in 2004/2005 by Waste Management (WM) due to elevated metal concern. Sludge from Secondary Pond #1 was removed in 2016 and was disposed of in a landfill in Canada. 3.3 Facility Self-Monitoring Information The City of Batavia WPCP operators perform sample collection for process control, permit compliance, and industrial user compliance verification. Collected samples are analyzed inhouse, as well as, contracted out. Parameters analyzed in-house are 5-day Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (cBOD5), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), pH, Temperature, Settleable Solids (SS) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). Page 3 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 Pace Analytical Laboratory Services, Inc. in Melville, New York is contracted to analyzed for Total Phosphorus, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Ammonia-Nitrogen (NH3), Metals [Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn)] and Hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6). Alpha Analytical, Inc. in Westborough, Massachusetts, is contracted to analyzed Total Cyanide (CN) and Total Phenolics. The contract laboratories provide preserved and unpreserved sample containers to the City of Batavia WPCP. The composite sample is distributed between the sample containers by the facility operators and are refrigerated. A courier from the laboratory comes to pick up the samples. 4.0 EPA SAMPLING/INSPECTION ACTIVITIES 4.1 Sampling Activities ISCO automatic composite samplers were programmed to take 96 sample aliquots during the 24-hour sampling event at the effluent monitoring location. The 24-hour composite sample was collected and analyzed for cBOD5, TSS, NH3, Phosphorus, TKN, Phosphorus, Total Phenolics, Total CN, and Metals (Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn). A grab sample was collected and analyzed for Cr+6. On-site grab samples were collected and analyzed for pH, Temperature, SS, DO, and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). In addition, an ISCO automatic composite sampler was programmed to take 96 sample aliquots during the 24-hour sampling event at the influent monitoring location. The 24-hour composite sample was collected and analyzed for cBOD5, TSS, NH3, and TKN. All sample containers, preservation techniques and holding times were in accordance with USEPA requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 136. Signed and dated custody seals were placed across the lids and along the sides of the sample containers. The custody sealed sample containers were placed inside plastic sample bags and sealed up. All samples were transported on ice to the USEPA Laboratory in Edison, New Jersey for analysis. Effluent flow monitoring data were obtained directly from the City of Batavia WPCP instrumentations which were last calibrated on April 20, 2022. Split samples were collected and given to the facility representative. The facility representative did not want split sample for hexavalent chromium. 4.2 Inspection Activities An NPDES Compliance Sampling Inspection at the City of Batavia Water Pollution Control Plant was conducted on April 28-29, 2022. The inspectors met with Kevin Volk, City of Batavia WPCP Chief Operator; John Sanko, City of Batavia WPCP Industrial Pretreat Program; Michele Vincent, NYSDEC Environmental Engineer; and Pradeep Jangbari, Page 4 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 NYSDEC Environmental Engineer. Inspector's credentials were presented, and business cards were provided. The facility's representatives were explained that the inspection purpose with supporting on-site activities was to determine if the City of Batavia WPCP is in compliance with their NPDES Permit; NY0026514, as well as State and Federal Regulations. Supporting on-site activities consist of collecting samples from the treatment plant influent and effluent monitoring locations, observing and evaluating the monitoring locations, observing and evaluating the flow monitoring equipment, interviewing and evaluating the facility's sampling protocol, touring and evaluating the wastewater treatment plant, reviewing and evaluating the chain-of-custody, sample containers, sample preservation, and analytical data, as well as interviewing the facility's representatives. The facility's representatives were briefed on the inspection activities throughout the inspection and during the closing conference. On-site sample results and concerns discovered during the inspection were communicated so that the facility's representatives understood their responsibilities to comply with the conditions and limitations set forth in the NPDES Permit, as well as State and Federal Regulations. 4.3 Deviations and/or Environmental Conditions Due to the pH exceedance and the potential pH increase contribution of the limestone lining around the ponds, NYSDEC requested EPA to perform a pH check on the ponds and wetlands using pH indicator strips. The pH in Aeration Ponds #1, #2 & #3 was determined to be approximately 6 Standard Units (SU). The pH in Secondary Ponds #1 & #2 was determined to be approximately 8 SU. The pH in Tertiary Ponds #1 & #2 was determined to be approximately 8 SU. The pH in Tertiary Ponds #3 & #4 was determined to be between 89 SU. The pH in Wetland #1 was determined to be approximately 6 SU. The pH in Wetlands #2 & #3 was determined to be between 5-6 SU. In addition, algae were observed in all the ponds except for the aeration ponds. As a result, algae were observed discharging into Tonawanda Creek. 5.0 ANALYTICAL RESULTS Parameter Flow cBOD5 cBOD5 cBOD5 Loading cBOD5 Loading cBOD5 Removal TSS TSS TSS Loading City of Batavia Water Pollution Control Plant Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 Seasonal Permit: November 1 - May 31 Units Permit Limit MGD 12.0 mg/l 25 (Monthly Average) mg/l 40 ( 7-Day Average) lbs./day 2502 (Monthly Average) lbs./day 4003 (7-Day Average) % >/= 85 mg/l 30 (Monthly Average) mg/l 45 (7-Day Average) lbs./day 3002 (Monthly Average) Page 5 of 9 EPA Result 4.068 13.9 13.9 471.6 471.6 92 33 33 1120 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 Parameter Units Permit Limit EPA Result TSS Loading lbs./day 4504 (7-Day Average) 1120 TSS Removal % >/= 85 76 (24) Ammonia mg/l 9.5 0.55 TKN mg/l Monitor 5.64 Phosphorus mg/l 1.0 0.646 Cyanide, T mg/l 0.007 (Daily Max.) 0.011 Phenolics, T mg/l 0.008 (Daily Avg.)

The analytical result for TSS was determined to be 33 mg/l. 6.1.2 According to Footnote 1 of the NPDES permit, the percent removal for the 5day carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (cBOD5) and TSS "... effluent shall not exceed 15% and 15% of influent concentration values for cBOD5 and TSS." The calculated percent removal for TSS was determined to be 24 percent. 6.1.3 The daily maximum limit for total cyanide is 0.007 mg/l. The analytical result for total cyanide was determined to be 0.011 mg/l. 6.1.4 According to the NPES permit, the discharged effluent pH range must be greater than or equal to 6.0 Standard Unit (SU) and equal to or less than 9.0 SU. The on-site analytical pH result was determined to be 9.04 SU. Page 6 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 6.2 Inspection Findings Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 In addition to the sampling, an inspection of the facility operations was conducted as discussed in Section 4.2. During this inspection the following observations were noted which may contravene the requirements of the permit or the applicable regulations: 6.2.1 The fine bubble diffusers in Aeration Ponds #1 & #2 are unevenly distributing air flow. Some of the fine bubble diffusers are either damaged or clogged preventing the air diffusers from operating properly. Solids were observed accumulating at multiple dead zones and along the banks of the ponds. According to 40 CFR Part 122.41(e) - Proper Operation and Maintenance, it states, "The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit." Furthermore Title 6 of the NYCRR Part 750-2.8(a)(2)(i) - Disposal System Operation and Quality Control, it states, "The permittee shall, at all times, properly operate and maintain all disposal facilities, which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes as a minimum, the following: (i) A preventative maintenance program for all critical facilities and systems of treatment and control (or related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. A facility or system is critical if it contains process equipment that is essential for proper operation and necessary to achieve compliance with the applicable SPDES permit effluent limits." 6.2.2 The facility is performing a 3-point calibration curve for pH. The facility starts the pH calibration with the 7-buffer solution, followed by the 4-buffer solution, then finally the 10-buffer solution. This is incorrect. According to Section 4 - Procedure for the Hydrogen Ion Method 4500-H+ B-2011 in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 22nd Edition, it states, "Before use, remove electrodes from storage solution, rinse, blot dry with a soft tissue, place in initial buffer solution, and set the isopotential point. Select a second buffer within 2 pH units of sample pH and bring sample and buffer to same temperature. ....Remove electrodes from first buffer, rinse thoroughly with distilled water, blot dry and immerse in second buffer. ....Remove electrodes from second buffer, rinse thoroughly with distilled water and dry electrodes as indicated above. Immerse in third buffer below pH 10, approximately 3 pH units different from the second; the reading should be within 0.1 unit for the pH of the third buffer." 6.2.3 The facility is using plastic tubing and plastic composite container to collect 24hr composite sample for total phenol. This is incorrect. Under 40 CFR Part 136: Table II-Required Containers, Preservation Techniques, and Holding Times, the Page 7 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 container use for phenol is "G" which references to Footnote 1 as "GLASS". According to Section 3 - Sampling for Total Phenolics Method-5530 B-2010 in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 22nd Edition, it states, "Use glass containers for collecting phenol samples." 6.2.4 Algae were observed in the Secondary Ponds, Tertiary Ponds and the discharged effluent into Tonawanda Creek which was confirmed by Mr. Kevin Kolk, City of Batavia WPCP Chief Plant Operator. According to Title 6 of the NYCRR Part 750-2.8(a)(6) - Disposal System Operation and Quality Control, it states, "The permittee and operator shall operate the wastewater treatment facility in such a manner as to minimize odors and other nuisance conditions to a degree that is achievable when compared to standard practices for operation of such wastewater treatment facilities." 6.2.5 The City of Batavia WPCP conducts Standard Industrial User (SIU) permit compliance sampling for O-AT-KA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. A few issues were discovered during the Pretreatment Compliance Sampling Inspection at O-ATKA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. on April 26-27, 2022. 6.2.5.1 Total Toxic Organics (TTO) is one of the general parameters on OAT-KA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. SIU permit. TTO is a parameter that reflects the electroplating industry. According to the electroplating category under 40 CFR Part 413.02(i), "The term TTO shall mean total toxic organics, which is the summation of all quantifiable values greater than 0.01 milligrams per liter for the following toxic organics:" TTO consists of Volatile Organic Analytes (VOA), Non-Volatile Organic Analytes (NVOA), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) & Pesticides. On the SIU permit, only VOAs plus xylenes are collected and analyzed. 6.2.5.2 A rope and stainless-steel cup are used to collect the discharged effluent, then transferred into the sample containers for Oil & Grease and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons. This is incorrect. According to "Sample Collection, Preservation, and Storage" of Section 8.3 for Hexane Extractable Material (HEM): N-Hexane Extraction and Gravimetry and Silica Gel Treated HEM (SGT-HEM): Silica Gel Treatment and Gravimetry (EPA Method 1664), it states, "The high probability that extractable matter may adhere to sampling equipment and result in measurements that are biased low precludes the collection of composite samples for determination of oil and grease. Therefore, samples must be collected as (direct) grab samples." 6.2.5.3 A rope and stainless-steel container are used to collect water sample for VOA. The sample in the container is transferred into the glass vials. Under Section 9: Sample Collection, Preservation, and Handling from the EPA Method 624, it states, " Collect the sample as a grab sample in a glass container having a total volume of at least 25 mL. Fill the sample bottle just to overflowing in such a manner that no air bubbles pass through the sample Page 8 of 9 City of Batavia WPCP, 5 Treadeasy Ave. Permit No.: NY0026514 Inspection Dates: April 28-29, 2022 as the bottle is being filled. Seal the bottle so that no air bubbles are entrapped in it."` 7.0 ATTACHMENTS Attachment #1.

The application was timely and sufficient. Therefore, the current permit will remain in effect in accordance with the State Administrative Procedures Act. The Department will, at some point in the future, undertake a full technical review of the SPDES discharge to determine the need to incorporate new permit requirements under the Federal Clean Water Act. The timing of the Department's full technical review will be determined by the ranking of the discharge under the Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy (EBPS). The EBPS utilizes criteria to score and rank a wastewater discharge, giving priority for technical review to those discharges with the greatest potential to cause environmental harm. To initiate a full technical review, the Department will send you a "Request for Information" seeking data to be used in the evaluation of the discharge and in the establishment of provisions proposed for inclusion in the permit. No further action is required on your part at this time. In accordance with the Uniform Procedures Act, the Department has suspended its review of your application and will resume review upon receipt of your response to the "Request for Information". If you have any technical questions, please contact Carol Lamb-Lafay at carol.lamb- lafay@dec.ny.gov.
