summary
This is an Initial Pollution Incident Report (IPIR) filed on 07/26/2016 documenting a sewage overflow/bypass at the Lima WWTP (Allen County, NW District) that occurred on 07/25/2016 at 23:00.

The incident was reported by the facility's Environmental Manager, Dave Schnipke, and DSW/WW was notified the following morning.
note
Ohio EPA spill id, printed on this IPIR as '1607-02-1456//0'. `case_no` holds the incident id alone so it joins edoc-3170417 (the NOV on the same 2016-07 Lima WWTP sludge release), which prints it without the suffix. The trailing '//0' is the printed sequence suffix and is recorded here rather than dropped.

⚠ Gaps in the record
- This document is an IPIR (pollution incident report), not a formal enforcement order, consent decree, DFFO, NOV, or similar enforcement instrument — it is a precursor/notification record only.
- Spill amount recorded as 0.0 UNK, likely a placeholder as actual volume was unknown at time of report.
- Case/Spill ID verified from image as 1607-02-1456//0; OCR rendered ambiguous characters.
