This letter is in response to compliance evaluation inspection on 8-30-22 and NOV-2022-
PC-0554 letter dated 9-23-22 to Bear Pen Village attached.
Per your outline letter we will respond as well:
1. Wet spot -
The wet spot next to the effluent storage tank was not present or noticeable when
we started operation of this system. Since we observed the wet spot within the
past few months, we have been trying to lower the tank to be able to inspect the
inside of the tankage. Now the wet spot has stopped. We will continue to lower
the tank and have the inside inspected for possible repairs.
2. Concerns listed:
a. We will check the calibration of the irrigation equipment this month as
noted.
b. We have ordered a rain or moisture sensor and will install when received.
c. We will order signs for the irrigation field and have installed when
received.
d. We have started the change ORC forms and will submit the changes when
completed.
Please note since taking over the operation the owners have approved us to upgraded the
air headers, drop diffusers, sludge returns, blower assemblies, and the irrigation control
panel and interface.
If you have any questions, please call anytime.
