## Enclosedis thereport oftheunannounced ClassII WaterInspectionconductedonApril 22, 2014. The mill appearedinoverall compliancewiththeterms and conditions ofthe NPDES permit.

I didnotethatthe water supplyused atthe secondaryclarifierforweirwashingwasnot available. Myunderstanding was thatthis linehadgone outofservice duetofreezing temperatures severalmonths earlier. Myexpectationis thatthis lineberepaired as soon
as reasonablypossible andcertainlyfar earlierthan severalmonths after going outof serv1ce.

Ifyouhave questions, please contactme (360) 407-6954 orat Robert.carruthers@ecy.wa.gov. Sincerely,

## The treatment system consists of a primary clarifier, aeration basin, and a secondary clarifier. The treated wastewater is discharged to the White River. The sludge from the clarifiers is used in the paper making process, so there is no additional sludge handling or disposal needed. The primary clarifier appeared to be operating normally during the inspection although plant growth was evident along the interiorwall ofthe clarifier. The aeration basin appeared to be at normal capacity (about 75% offull capacity). All three aerators were operating. The secondary clarifier appeared to be operating properly although no water supply was available for weir washing. The water supply had not been repaired since awinter freeze months before. The effluent going over the weir was clearwith a light tan color.

Records and monitoring appeared in order. Overall the facility was found to be in compliance with the terms and conditions oftheir NPDES permit.
