Mr. Krebs:
This email is to follow up your conversation with Mark Hawes, Shurtape Director of EHS, earlier today, regarding our
Stony Point Plant wastewater system package plant. Due, we believe, to the extremely hot temperatures, it has been
difficult to maintain the desired dissolve oxygen (DO) level in the aeration basin at the referenced plant. As of yet, the
problems have not resulted in non-compliance, and we believe that the weekly samples collected on today's date will
likewise demonstrate compliance. However, ou,r ORC and backup 0RC have been trying to reduce the MLSS
concentration to a level that would allow the DO to increase. Currently, we believe the best plan is to reduce the water
level in the package plant and re -seed. We believe that the re -seeding will provide a healthy biomass concentration and
will allow us to remain in compliance with the effluent limitations.
Please contact either myself at the numbers listed below or via email, or Mark Hawes via email at
[e-mail], if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
Jerry W. Eplin, PE
