Dear Sherri V. Knight, P.E.:

This letter is in response to the Compliance Evaluation conducted by Ron Boone on June 5, 2018. He
found that the plant has gotten into poor and dilapidated condition due to corrosion which is an
ongoing problem with a lot of privately owned package plants. I have spoken to the Homeowner's
association President about this situation and he is willing to do whatever they can afford to start
getting the plant in better shape. I immediately provided a piece of schedule 80 PVC to replace the
leaking feed line to the aeration so corrosion will not be an issue with that line in the future.
The missing bar screen is in the process of being evaluated for replacement. The original design is
too dangerous to be replaced like kind and we are in the talks with a contractor to build a stainless
steel bar screen in the influent splitter box or in the manhole that feeds the influent pump
station/EQ tank but is still easier to access than the EQ tank area.
The floating solids were due to the final clarifier sludge collector mechanism breaking down and
had just been r a', cd bcfoe the r iSpCC`Y'fifl3f'aiSeUiT�TtIL7�24 '"t"3 c� iYriPfI ��Iw.
the final was be introduced back into the plant for treatment and made the clarifier cloudy. I

started wasting these solids out and was able to clear the final up which couldn't be done before
the mechanism was fixed.
The composite sampler was reading 79.8 degrees Celsius on the LED display which is not correct. I
have installed a refrigerator thermometer to monitor temp and will see if display temp can be fixed.
Daryl Cain, Homeowner Association President, has been notified about the crushing of the declor
box will personally dig it up and fix himself within 30 days of this letter.
Sludge pumping records has been requested from the Homeowner's secretary and will be on site
soon and when I get them I will email a copy to Mr. Boone. If I can be of further assistance please
feel free to contact me at [phone]
Sincerely,
oil
