Remote monitoring on weekends as pretreatment processes restart following sanitation procedures is especially helpful. It allows Owens to monitor the startup of pumps and wastewater levels in equalization tanks from home, including realtime camera views. Owens explains, "I can log on remotely and look at my pumps, the gallons per minute going through, pH levels and check everything at home." Owens can tap into his 16 years of expertise to examine the consistency and color of the DAF float and watch for suspended solids in the discharged water. He noted, "I can make chemical adjustments from home and confirm that the system is operating as designed." State officials take notice of innovations Dave Evans, complex environmental manager, said, "Rick can isolate one of the EQ tanks if he knows a heavy wastewater load is coming from further processing production, or if an alarm occurs, or he sees a high pH from sanitation. He can also manage the first flush storm water from the paved trailer areas during a heavy rain event.
