summary
A Reconnaissance Inspection was conducted on April 5, 2017 at the City of Lima's wastewater treatment plant to observe the status of plant upgrades. New screens, grit chambers, and primary clarifiers were found operational, while nitrification towers were not yet in service. Final effluent was clear, colorless, and had no noticeable odor; no significant non-compliance was identified. The compliance data for the period 11/1/2016–3/1/2017 showed 23 permit effluent code violations (Water Temperature, Station 604) and 54 reported SSO events.

⚠ Gaps in the record
- TWIN CAPTURE — not the canonical reading. The portal serves this 2017-04-05 reconnaissance inspection at two docids; edoc-1851473 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.
- Document read from page images — no machine text layer confirmed.
- The attached inspection report form (Pages 2–3) includes compliance data tables (code violations for Water Temperature at Station 604, SSO events, and high flow data) that are tabular/data in nature rather than numbered findings or recommendations; they have been captured in the summary rather than as individual observations.
- Permit Effective Date: 1/1/2013; Permit Expiration Date: 2/28/2015 — permit appears expired at time of inspection.
- Report signed by Peggy B. Christie (approx. Apr. 7, 2017) and Thomas Poffenbarger, P.E. (4/10/17) on the enclosed form; letter dated April 12, 2017.
