NPDES Permit NC0066796 Buncombe County Schools
Leciester Elementary School
Buncombe County
Dear Landon,
This letter is written on behalf of the Buncombe County Schools to provide information
as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility in reference to NOV letter
dated November 17, 2021 attached.
We received the lab result of 76.2 mg/L BOD on 9/20/21 and immediately questioned our
subcontracted lab Pace Analytical about the results being higher than we would expect
for this system and all other school WWTP's that day. The plant showed no indication of
a problem. Samples prior and after were compliant. Likely due to unknown source.
We collected additional BOD samples the last week of the month and all were compliant.
The monthly average was compliant.
I trust you will call if you have any further questions or concerns.
RiX
Robert Barr
