Dear Mr. Tankard:
Alderman David Dunn

Alderman Dennis Smith
Alderman Billy Whitford
Alderman Earl Wright
In response to your Notice of Violation and Intent to Access Civil Penalty on October 9, 2018, the Town of
Vanceboro strives to maintain compliance with all permit requirements; however, we were in con -
compliance for the month of June, 2018, as follows:
BOD, 5-Day, for the week ending June 30, 2018, we exceeded our monthly average limit of 5 mg/L
with a 5.5 mg/L.
NITROGEN, AMMONIA TOTAL, for the week ending June 30, 2018, we exceeded our monthly
average limit of 2 mg/L with a 4.48 mg/L.
NITROGEN, AMMONIA TOTAL, for the week ending June 30, 2018, we exceeded our weekly average
limit of 6 mg/L with a 6.6 mg/L.
After observing our flows, we found during the month of June, 2018, that we had an average of 195,000.
We are consistently trying different techniques to improve our overall performance of our wastewater
treatment plant. As stated previously, the sand media in our sand filter was replaced, which has improved
our water quality consistently over the last couple of months. This work was done on July 11, 2018.
If you should have any questions, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Chad E. Braxton, Mayor
