Attn: Central Niles NOV-2021-LV-0299
1617 Mail Service Center Permit No. NCO028975
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Saluda WWTP
To whom it may concern:
I am responding to the enclosed NOV on behalf of the City of Saluda WWTP.
The eDMR for the month of February 2021 explained the Weekly Geometric Mean Exceedance
of the permitted Fecal Limit as follows: "High Fecal Coliform. on 2/9/2021 exceeded the
permitted weekly geometric mean - the flow meter calibration caused the flow proportional
chlorine feed to drop below normal. The lab alerted us to the high Fecal Coliform on 2.10.2021.
The Chlorine was adjusted up manually and we called to have calibration confirmed. Ali issues
are resolved & plant returned to compliance."
Please advise should further information be required
Thank you,
