This letter is in response to receipt for the subject violations. Both items were addressed via phone
conversation and in an email to you from Brian Leavitt, Superintendent/ORC on July 26, 2021. These
issues were identified and presented to you prior to submittal of the June 2021 eDMR.
The Limit Exceedance Violation was a result of a sampling error. Procedures were reviewed and
adjusted to help ensure this error does not occur in the future. The Monitoring Violation was an
unavoidable error in timing in regards to the required sampling periods and permit renewal. Please
accept the correspondence from that date as response to NOV-2021-LM-0088.
If there are any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to myself, our Director of Public
Works and Utilities, Tim Robbins or our Wastewater Superintendent, Brian Leavitt.
Sincerely,
Fred Nelson
Town Manager
