Historical Exceedances

This facility has historically exceeded limits for the following parameters:

  • Magnesium, Total

    While essential in small amounts, excessive magnesium can contribute to water hardness, affecting aquatic life and ecosystem balance.

  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

    High levels of suspended solids can reduce water clarity, harm fish gills, smother aquatic habitat and eggs, and transport pollutants through water bodies.

These limits reflect Water Quality Standards promulgated to protect human health or the environment, or standards that the State or EPA developed to indicate the Facility may be failing to implement best practices to protect storm water.
