you to take all necessary actions to bring your facility into compliance.

Please be reminded that when parameters require twice a week sampling and there is no flow for the week, (a
DMR Week runs Sunday to midnight on Saturday) that “no flow” should be entered twice to cover the “twice a

If you should need any assistance or would like to discuss this non-compliance situation, please contact Janet
Cantwell of the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.

Sincerely,

G. Landon Davidson, P.G., Regional Supervisor
