Pineville has notified residents of significant wastewater pretreatment violations by two system users over the past year.

According to the city, Eclectric Products on Willamette Road and Calvary Industries on Remount Drive did not meet BOD limits on several occasions.

Eclectric’s self-monitoring on three instances in first half of 2023 showed the chemical additives facility exceeded allowances.

Non-compliance discharge notices were subsequently followed by monitoring that showed the firm in compliance.

Calvary self-monitoring detected below-standard discharge in January and November.

Notices were issued and subsequent testing confirmed compliance at the industrial chemical plant.

The BOD measurement is vital for proper operation of the wastewater collection/treatment system.

The city’s notification mentions no penalties or fines in these instances.
