Operator Facility Rounds

High Flow Rounds Cont.

Effluent Quality

Upstream solids loss, driven by high flows, can impact the final effluent quality. High

Flow Rounds may require more frequent sampling, observations, chemical dosage

adjustments and reporting.

The diligent Operator will notify the Supervisor and make timely Logbook entries

when High Flow Rounds are performed, noting equipment that has been turned on,

turned off, or placed in HAND.

Logbook entries document the changes or adjustments and serves as reminders

through the day if a piece of equipment was temporarily turned on or turned off.

Performing Rounds and only recording observations on a Rounds Sheet has limited

value. Observations or abnormal equipment conditions should be documented in the

Logbook and verbally reported to the Supervisor.
