Mr. Snider,
Thank you for allowing Quail Acres Mobile Home Park the opportunity to respond to the Notice of
Violation dated November 4, 2020; received December 30, 2020. Below we address the following
infractions that occurred during the month of April, 2020.
For the April 2020 period, ammonia nitrogen exceeded the monthly average limit. Result indicated
ammonia levels of 7.7 mg/1 on 4/7, and 8.5 on 4/23. In both cases, ammonia removal was impacted by
the lack of nitrification through the sand media. To improve the performance of sand filtration, we have
increased the frequency of filter media cleaning with the goal of minimizing organic growth on the
media.
The actions taken demonstrate our commitment to being a good neighbor, as it is always the goal of
Quail Acres Mobile Home Park to remain in compliance with regulations set forth by the Division of
Water Resources. It is our request that our attention and action in these matters be considered by the
Division when proceeding with enforcement. It is always the goal of Quail Acres Mobile Home Park to
remain in compliance with regulations set forth by the Division of Water Resources.
Sincerely,
Lee Simaan
