Do you have a constant Salinity feeding the system?  If not that is a major problem.  Notification is just your first indication that things are getting ready to go to hell in a handbasket. What you have is a swing salinity that causes osmotic pressure inside the carbonaceous bacterial cells and inhibits the degradation of nitrogen compounds via into soma and nitrobacteria (nitrifiers).  I have seen this across well and gas when they put in a scrubber mandate for FCCUs.  You can aluminate this by locating the high salinity (chloride) stream, segregating and % of flow feed to the main feed.  Keep your conductivity constant.  You will probably see float come up and down on the clarifiers as well.
