Mr. Vinson,
Please accept this as Pope Industrial Park II Ltd Partnership response to the Notice of Violation
issued May 10,2023 and;received May 30,2023.The violation was related to a frequency monitoring
violation(s) that occurred during the December 2022 monitoring period, for BOD, Fecal Coliform.
Ammonia, Total Suspended Solids, and Temperature.
The monitoring violation occurred due the miss handling of the lab samples for this period.We have
conducted a thorough investigation into the matter but unfortunately the samples could not be located.
We are working with the laboratory to put protocols in place,to avoid future incidents.
We have reviewed our internal procedures and are now requiring the sample collector to submit
electronic evidence via the Chain of Custody, that then can be compared to samples log as received
by the laboratory. The goal is to allow the operator to become aware of any discrepancies so that
additional samples can be collected within the required time frames. It is always our goal to remain
in compliance with regulations set forth by the Division of Water Resources.
Sincerely,
Daniel Sears
Environmental Compliance Manager

penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you

something you could not prevent or prepare for);

thorough investigation into the matter but unfortunately the samples could not be located. We are working with the
