On behalf of Solis Brightleaf Apartments LLC, Mid -Atlantic Associates, Inc. submits this letter in
response to a Notice of Violation (NOV-2020-MV 0032) dated March 11, 2020. In the NOV a
monitoring violation related to continuous flow recording was identified by DEQ during review of
the December 2019 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). Our response to address this condition
is as follows:
Condition: Flow meter readings for the effluent discharge were not entered into the December
2019 DMR for multiple dates.
Response: The groundwater treatment system is located at an apartment building. The
maintenance staff at the apartment building has been trained to record daily flow meter readings.
Due to recording errors, partially due to personnel responsibility changes, data gaps exist for the
dates identified in the NOV. We notified NCDEQ when we became aware of the discrepancies.
Apartment personnel have been retrained to properly read the flowmeter. Please note that similar
recording errors have occurred in January and we appreciate your patience as we work through
these issues.
If you have any comments or questions on our response to these conditions, please contact me
at 919-250-9918.
Sincerely,
MID -ATLANTIC ASSOCIATES, INC.
