    Pineview Estates - monitoring

    Aaron,
    After looking at the lab results again.
    I would recommend that they also monitor for ammonia on both the influent into the treatment units and
    the effluent leaving the treatment units.
    We currently see that theirs little or no nitrate <1 mg/L on the influent as well as the effluent.
    We wouldnt anticipate seeing any nitrate on the influent
    What we would see on the influent would be ammonia. Which should be converted to nitrate via the
    nitrification and then if denitrification is occurring
    Removal of the nitrate.
    I dont believe were seeing much change in the TKN values entering and leaving the treatment units
    There in fact may not be any nitrification occurring in the treatment units and there getting ammonia pass
    through in the effluent - incomplete treatment
    Testing for ammonia would verify this.

    Once again, Id say there some extremely questionable results coming out of the lab there currently using
    Ill try giving you a call on Monday as Im not going to be able to make the UIC call on Tuesday
