Re: CalOSHA Citation and Notification of Penalty at Maerkle Facility (District 2)
This memorandum provides information related to a citation of four violations from the
State of California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health,
Process Safety Management (Cal/OSHA) following an inspection at the Maerkle Reservoir facility
located at 5203 Sunny Creek Road.
Background
On June 20, 2025, Cal/OSHA conducted an in-person inspection at the Maerkle Reservoir facility.
The inspection was carried out by a Cal/OSHA compliance inspector who had not previously
examined the Maerkle Reservoir facility.
On October 22, 2025, a subsequent meeting was convened to discuss the findings of the
inspection. The inspector identified four general violations, which are described in Attachment A,
Cal/OSHA Citation and Notification of Penalty. On November 20, 2025, the Carlsbad Municipal
Water District (CMWD) submitted Attachment B to Cal/OSHA to comply with the 15-day
response requirement.
Citation
The violations are summarized below with the responses/actions from the CMWD:
Citation 1 Item 1
Violation Noted: Respiratory Protection. The employer failed to identify and evaluate the
respiratory hazard in the workplace and did not perform the reasonable estimate of employee
exposure to 19% ammonia when it was transferred to tank #2. The employer failed to base
respirator selection on the reasonable estimate of employee exposure to 19% ammonia located in
the ammonia room.
Response/ Action -In May 2020, an industrial hygiene study was conducted in the form of
personnel monitoring of one operator conducting the ammonia transfer process. Although the
employee wore a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved

full-face respirator with appropriate cartridges during the initial study, there was no follow-up
area testing to confirm the environment was not Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)
potentially creating a hazard to employees working at this location. In June 2020, the CMWD
made a process change shortly after the initial industrial hygiene study to make the handling of
ammonia safer by limiting the amount of time personnel were inside the room during the
transfer. The CMWD did not ensure that the employee signed the documentation or followed
through with the necessary finalization of the paperwork required for such incidents.
In response to this citation, on October 30, 2025, staff completed another industrial hygiene
study to capture both personnel exposure limits and the area saturation of hazardous vapors.
Additionally, steps have been taken to ensure that the CMWD documents, signs and files each
incident in a timely manner.
Citation 1 Item 2
Violation Noted: Respiratory Protection. The employer failed to ensure that employees utilize a
NIOSH-approved respirator for escaping IDLH atmosphere developed during foreseeable
emergencies when opening chlorine equipment and changing ton containers.
Response/Action -In the initial industrial hygiene study conducted in May 2020, it was noted
that during the chlorine transfer process, the employee utilized a full-face respirator that was
approved by NIOSH, equipped with appropriate cartridges. Subsequent findings revealed that the
cartridge utilized during this operation was only capable of withstanding a minimum exposure
level of 5 parts per million (ppm), failing to meet the peak exposure limit of 99 ppm.
Typically, this peak regulation is a requirement specific only to water treatment plants; however,
it has now been extended to encompass all interactions involving chlorine. To comply with this
heightened requirement, staff have conducted research and procured compliant cartridges for
each operational employee, ensuring that these new cartridges will exceed the specified peak
exposure limit.
Citation 1 Item 3
Violation Noted: Airborne Contaminants. The employer failed to monitor the level of ammonia
vapors during the transfer of 19% ammonia in tank #2 located in the ammonia room. The
employer did not ensure that employees were not exposed to ammonia vapors in excess of levels
permitted.
Response/Action -The chlorine and ammonia detectors situated in the ammonia room were
positioned in the corner opposite to the area where the employee replaces the ammonia
transferred to the #2 tank. In addition to changing the face cartridges, as outlined in the
Response/Action to Citation 1 Item 2 above, the employee will now be required to utilize a
Honeywell single-gas detector, which is rated for chlorine and ammonia, during the transfer

process. This will ensure that the vapor levels for ammonia and chlorine will be monitored
wherever the employee is located.
Citation 1 Item 4
Violation Noted: Process Safety Management of Acutely Hazardous Materials. The employer
failed to ensure that the emergency "B" Kits for chlorine are sealed after each inspection, and
such seals were broken only by authorized persons or in case of accidents.
Response/ Action -The B Kits are now sealed, and staff have revised the processes to ensure
that the B Kits are resealed when broken.
Penalty
Attachment A shows a proposed penalty of $1,820 for the four violations. The penalty was paid
prior to the due date of November 26, 2025.
Next Steps
The matter is resolved, and no further action is necessary.

However, if the citation is appealed, you may request an informal conference at any time prior
to the day of the hearing. Employers are encouraged to schedule a conference at the earliest

APPEAL RIGHTS
The Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board (Appeals Board) consists of three
members appointed by the Governor. The Appeals Board is a separate entity from the Division
of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA or the Division) and employs experienced
administrative law judges to hear appeals fairly and impartially. To initiate an appeal from a
Citation and Notification of Penalty, you must contact the Appeals Board in writing, or by
telephone, or online via the Board's OASIS system, within 15 working days from the date of
receipt of a Citation.
After you have initiated your appeal, you must then file a completed appeal form with the
Appeals Board, at the address listed below, or online via the Board's OASIS system, for each
contested Citation. Failure to file a completed appeal form with the Appeals Board may result
in dismissal of the appeal. Appeal forms are available to print online at:
https://www.dir.ca.gov/oshab/appealform.pdf. You may also file the appeal through the
Board's online OASIS system at: https://www.dir.ca.gov/oshab/. Hard copies can also be
picked up from district offices of the Division, or from the Appeals Board:

Telephone: (916) 274-5751 or (877) 252-1987
Fax: ( 91 6) 27 4-5785
If the Citation you are appealing alleges n:,ore than one item, you must specify on the appeal
form which items you are appealing. The appeal form also asks you to identify the grounds for
your appeal. Among the specific grounds for an appeal are the following: the safety order was not
violated, the classification of the allege·d violation (e.g., serious, repeat, willful) is incorrect; the
abatement requirements are unreasonable or the proposed penalty is unreasonable.
Important: You must notify the Appeals Board, not the Division, of your intent to appeal within 15
working days from the date of receipt of the Citation. Otherwise, the Citation and Notification of
Penalty becomes a final order of the Appeals Board not subject to review by any court or agency.
An informal conference with Cal/OSHA or the Division does not constitute an appeal and does not
stay the 15 working day appeal period. If you have any questions concerning your appeal rights,
call the Appeals Board, at (916) 27 4-5751 or (877) 252-1987.

Health promptly by letter that you have taken appropriate corrective action within the time frame
set forth on this Citation and Notification of Penalty. Please inform the district office listed on the
Citation by submitting the Cal/OSHA 160 form with the abatement steps you have taken and the
date the violation was abated, together with adequate supporting documentation, e.g., drawings
or photographs of corrected conditions, purchase/work orders related to abatement actions, air
sampling results, etc. The adjusted penalty for general violations has already been reduced by 50%
on the presumption that the employer will correct the violations by the abatement date. The
adjusted penalty for serious violations, if any, has already been reduced by 50% because
abatement of those violations has been completed.
