Introduction On August 8th, 2023, representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 4
Laboratory Services and Applied Science Division (LSASD) conducted a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) reconnaissance sampling inspection at Heartland Catfish Company in Itta
Bena, MS. The evaluation was requested by the Enforcement & Compliance Assurance Division (ECAD)
Water Enforcement Branch as part of the agency's goal to address significant non-compliance facilities.
The inspection followed the procedures listed in the LSASD Project No. 23-0118 Sample and Analysis
Plan (SAP). An additional sample of oil and grease was collected that was not listed on the SAP, as
requested by the project requestor. All standard operating procedures used to conduct this assessment were
followed as prescribed and are listed in the project's SAP. Table 1 lists the sampling participants and facility
staff.

Background Heartland Catfish Company is authorized by the NPDES Permit No. MS0051098 to discharge its effluent via outfall 001 into the Yazoo River. The facility maintains a multi-lagoon system to utilize anaerobic and aerobic digestion of the oils/grease from the process water.
Currently, this facility is listed on the EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) significant/category 1 non-compliance for a variety of effluent discharge limit violations for E. coli, oil and grease, and dissolved oxygen.
Study Area and Methodology The study area for the sampling evaluation was the effluent discharge pipe from the lagoon. A grab sample was collected and analyzed for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonia (NH3), Nitrate/Nitrite (NO3, NO2), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Phosphorus (P), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), E. coli, and oil and grease. In - situ parameters of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) were measured with a multi -

Quality Assurance/ Quality Control
Chemistry data for analyses conducted by LSASD Laboratory Services Branch (LSB) were verified and qualified based on Laboratory Operations and Quality Assurance Manual (LOQAM) found on https://www.epa.gov/quality/epa-region-4-laboratory-services-branch-laboratory-operations-and-qualityassurance-manual. Quality control for the analyses: TSS, CBOD5, Nitrate/Nitrite, Phosphorus TKN and Total Nitrogen can be found in the quality control section of each attached analytical data package (E232409 CNA FINAL 06 28 23 and E232409 CNA FINAL 07 14 23). E. coli analysis performed by Waypoint Analytical was analyzed using Standard Method 9223B - 2016 using EPA - Approved IDEXX Colilert. Oil and grease analysis was analyzed using Standard Method 1664B. All provided certifications and accreditations are valid and unexpired. Copies of the certifications and quality control are included in the attached analytical package 23-166-0055. The duplicate sample collected was used to evaluate sample collection precision. The table below shows the relate percent difference between samples. The TSS relative percent difference may be affected by the sampling from the bank and the possible agitation of the sample location.

Summary
Heartland Catfish Company maintains a lagoon system to treat its process water waste stream. Samples collected were all within the NPDES permit limits. The lagoon may need additional mechanical aeration to maintain the sufficient dissolved oxygen concentration required by the NPDES permit.
Operational Observations The Lagoon has one floating blower near the discharge point. (See Appendix A). Additional blowers located throughout the lagoon would increase the dissolved oxygen concentration.

The above referenced project has been analyzed per your instructions. The analyses were performed in accordance with the applicable analytical method. Where the laboratory was not responsible for the sampling stage (refer to the chain of custody) results apply to the sample as received. The analytical data has been validated using standard quality control measures performed as required by the analytical method. Quality Assurance, method validations, instrumentation maintenance and calibration for all parameters (NELAP and non-NELAP) were performed in accordance with guidelines established by the USEPA (including 40 CFR 136 Method Update Rule May 2021) and NELAC unless otherwise indicated. Any parameter for which the laboratory is not officially NELAP accredited is indicated by a '~' symbol. These are not included in the scope because NELAP accreditation is either not available or has not been applied for. Additional certifications may be held/are available for parameters, where NELAP accreditation is not required or applicable. A full list of certifications is available upon request. Certain parameters (chlorine, pH, dissolved oxygen, sulfite...) are required to be analyzed within 15 minutes of sampling. Usually, but not always, any field parameter analyzed at the laboratory is outside of this holding time. Refer to sample analysis time for confirmation of holding time compliance. The results are shown on the attached Report of Analysis(s). Results for solid matrices are reported on an asreceived basis unless otherwise indicated. This report shall not be reproduced except in full and relates only to the samples included in this report. Please do not hesitate to contact me or client services if you have any questions or need additional information.
