Thank you for allowing Kurz Transfer Products the opportunity to respond to the Notice of
Violation dated May 10, 2022; received May 20, 2022. Our response below is in regard to the
BOD and TSS daily maximum exceedance events that occurred on January 5, 2022, and the
concurrent monthly average violations.
Membrane filters at the plant lost their filtration capability due to debris accumulation, causing
BOD and TSS levels to exceed the maximum allowed daily limit. The membrane filters were
cleaned out immediately as a result of the discovery. Following the cleaning of the filters, BOD
and TSS levels did not exceed for the remainder of the month. Monthly membrane filter
cleanings have been performed since this incident.
It is always our goal to remain in compliance with the regulations set forth by the Division of
Water Resources. The factors contributing to this violation have been addressed accordingly in
order to prevent future noncompliance events. It is our request that our cooperation and action
_in these matters be taken into account by the Division when proceeding with enforcement,
Since
