summary
The City of Lima's Director of Utilities, Michael H. Caprella, submitted the annual Hexavalent Chromium Control Strategy progress report to Ohio EPA as required by NPDES Permit 2PE00000*ND, Part I, C – Schedule of Compliance, B,3. The report covers monitoring results from June 2021 through June 2022 for the WWTP effluent (Outfall 001) and industrial pretreatment sampling, finding no detectable levels of hexavalent chromium in the collection system or treatment plant effluent. No updates to the control strategy were required, as all results were below detectable limits and the POTW is meeting its permit limits.
note
This is a compliance correspondence letter (annual progress report) rather than a direct enforcement order. The City of Lima is the reporting/respondent party; Ohio EPA Northwest District Office and NPDES Permit Unit are the recipients. All monitoring results for Outfall 001 show "AA 3.0" (non-detect at 3.0 µg/L method detection limit) except one 1/24/22 result of 10.0 (dilution required). Industry results similarly show non-detects with some requiring dilution. No PMP sources identified; no further remedial actions required.

⚠ Gaps in the record
- Permit number '2PE00000*ND' contains an asterisk which may be a redaction or OCR artifact — verify exact permit number against source document.
- OCR rendered 'Caprella' as 'Cap ella' and '916/21' as a date for Lima Memorial Hospital — corrected from image context.
- Document is compliance correspondence/progress report, not a primary enforcement instrument (no penalty, no order terms).
