Dear Morella Sanchez -King,
I am in receipt of the above referenced NOV dated January 6, 2021 and wanted to respond as to what
actions we have taken to correct total Nitrogen limit violation. The recirculation rate has been adjusted
and dissolved oxygen levels dropped in order to lower total Nitrogen. The plant is now operating in
compliance.
Please reconsider the enforcement of the civil penalty, as we are working diligently to solve the issues.
Thank you for any consideration and please reach out with questions or concerns at the address above,
email at smcmillanCDinteerawater com or give me a call directly at 205-719-7795.
Sincerely,
Sean McMillan
Vice President
