In response to NOV-2021-LV-0025, the parameters of Total Nitrogen and Ammonia were above
limit due to the failed Geyser Pulse pumps in Train 1 and failing Geyser Pulse pumps in Train 2. Updates
to our progress and delays in manufacturing has been relayed throughout and out of our control. We have
made every effort and continue to work diligently to make adjustment in the treatment process to
compensate for these areas waiting for manufacturers shipment. Train 1 as of January 25, 2021 the
newly designed pumps have been installed and tested. Train 1 Clarifiers have been scheduled to be
cleaned and put back on-line before moving to replace the Geyser pumps in Train 2. Extensive cleaning
and repair will begin once flow has been directed to Train 1 for treatment and updates of progress will be
relayed. We have not been complacent or faxed on being compliant and continue to work the treatment
process as it was designed with approved temporary adjustments where equipment has failed to perform.
Effluent quality is expected to improve in the upcoming weeks and other equipment upgrades are being
implemented to make the plant a more efficient and effective in meeting permit requirements. If allowed a
little more time before assessing fines and/or penalties we will show our efforts in making these well
overdo upgrades has made a great improvement in the treatment process, effluent quality and in plant
compliance.
Thank You,
