MAR 161981 5 BOOK 46 h,1 E 6 the lift station appears to be'shut off. Also, there is no back flow preventor on the hose bibb. Photograph No. 1 is of the east lift station of the Treasure Coast system. The inspection continued to the sewage treatment plant which is located south of Treasure Coast Subdivision and north of Oslo Road, with access off of Oslo Road. The road leading into the sewage treatment facility was blocked by demolition and debris material, and the road is inaccessible. The only access to the treatment facility at this point is by foot. The vege- tation around the treatment facility is very high, and the general effect is the treatment facility is not very well kept. This is evidenced by the fact there is vegetation growing out of the top of the treatment facility and around the base of the structure at grade level. There is evidence of raw sewage deposits in an area approximately 15 to 20 feet around the treatment plant. It appears this material could be a foot thick. The chlorine contact chamber appears to be inoperable. There is a very large tree growing in and beside the structure, which, with the location of the particular tree, would keep the facility from being operable. There is another structure located adjacent to the chlorine contact chamber. It ap- pears to be an old chlorination building. This building is in a severe state of disrepair. Photograph No. 2 is of the chlorination building. Access was obtained to the top of the treatment facility which appears to be an Imhoff process. The access bridge across the facility has collapsed and is no longer a functional element. There is vegetation growing out of the top of the facility, and there are bubbles coming up in the stagnant liquid within the treatment facility, which would appear to be gas generated by anaerobic conditions. The treatment facility is not operating as a sewage treatment plant, and is totally non-operable. There are houses located within 300 feet of the pinat, and there is some odor present, probably as a result of anaerobic conditions taking place within the concrete Imhoff tank. Photograph No. 3 was taken atop the treatment plant looking west and shows the condition of the access bridge, and also shows the proximity of houses to the plant. The water treatment facility. There is evidence that there has been some maintenance performed. This is given by the fact that screens have been replaced on the aerators. The building itself, the control building, appears to have been painted, and there appears to have been some maintenance done on the hydropneumatic tank.* However, a detailed inspection is not available at this time due to the fact that the entire perimeter of the treatment facility is fenced and the fencing is locked. Another inspection at another time will be performed on the interior system. The inspection continued to southern most pump station of the Treasure Coast Utilities Franchise. The lift station is of similar design and construction as that of the eastern lift station. This lift station appears to have been vandalized. There appears to be a bypass of a flexible hose from the lift station with the discharge of this flexible hose laying on the ground and south of the lift station. There is raw sewage in an area approximately 50 to 75 feet wide, and approximately 300 to 400 feet in length extending to the south. The hose is on the ground and appears to be the source of the raw sewage due to erosion taking place at the discharge of the hose. The apparent use of this lift station is to bypass the plant entirely and discharge raw sewage onto the ground. The discharge of this pump station is ponding on the ground and there is a great deal of odor associated with it also. The interior portion of the lift station was not accessible due to the appearance of raw sewage in the base of the lift station. It appears there is a submersible pump lowered into the wet well and is plugged into an auxiliary outlet in the lift station. The main pumps appear MAR 1 � 4E . �
