Dear Mr. Bennett:
For the month of August, No sample was taken from The 001 North Storm Water outfall.
All rain water was collated and pumped to the aeration basin. The 002 South Storm
Water containment pond remains far below discharge level. For this reason there were
no samples collected for the month of August.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
• topher Harris
