Dear NCRWQCB,
Attached are Point Arena’s August 2026 Monthly Report.
The plant remained in compliance with all discharge requirements during August 2026.
Throughout the month, the required freeboard was maintained at all times in all percolation ponds. There were no blockages or sanitary sewer overflows within the collection system during June 2026.
The Soldani Spring Box was dry throughout August 2026; therefore, no sampling was conducted. Testing will resume if water becomes present in the spring box.
I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted, is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine or imprisonment for knowing violations.
Respectfully,
Brad Nierman
