summary
On July 13, 2016, Ohio EPA conducted a Reconnaissance Inspection at the City of Lima's WWTP to observe progress on the new headworks construction project. All components except two of the four primary clarifiers were nearly complete, and effluent in the final clarifiers was clear, colorless, and odor-free. No significant non-compliance was identified at the time of the inspection, though compliance data for 9/1/2015–6/1/2016 showed 2 limit violations, 15 code violations, and 57 reported SSO events.

⚠ Gaps in the record
- TWIN CAPTURE — not the canonical reading. The portal serves this 2016-07-13 reconnaissance inspection at two docids; edoc-1914739 is the same letter and is canonical for FIDELITY (a scan is read by the vision path alone, with nothing to check itself against). Declared in data/site/document-versions.yaml as a `v2` cluster — the two files are NOT byte-identical. NOTE this capture records MORE (11 vs 6): it enumerates the report form's evaluated-areas checklist as observations where the canonical summarises the narrative. A granularity difference, not a conflict — and the checklist has no dedicated field on ComplianceInspection.
- Document is a scanned page image; text was read via OCR interpretation — minor transcription errors are possible.
- The compliance data tables on pages 2 and 3 are part of the enclosed inspection report and reflect historical violations, not new orders or requirements imposed by this inspection.
