Raleivh'Zegiolial Giiire Dear Ms. Romanski: This letter is in response to the NPDES Compliance Inspection Report on the Siler City Wastewater Treatment Plant - NPDES Permit No. NCO026441 and NPDES Permit No. NCG110085. On October 17, 2012, we had Ron Stephens with the Kemp Corporation from Sherrill Fords, NC to come and look at Zone 4B of the equalization basin to determine what type of repair could be made to this wall. At this point, we have not received a cost estimate on this repair. Zone 4A can still be used if necessary and isolate Zone 48. When I receive this figure, we will then make a determination of what needs to be done. Should you have questions or concerns, please call me at 919-742-4732.
