Findings of BOD Exceeded: The day of the exceeded limit the DO had been going up and the clarity of
the water had been poor has well. Since this problem occurred, we had timers installed to help control
the DO level. We also cleaned out the sample bottle and changed out tubing.
Findings of NH 3 Exceeded: This occurred during the same time the BOD exceeded. We have not had a
problem with NH 3 since the timers have been installed.
I would like to add The Town has received a Principal Forgiveness Loan 50 / 50 match. I know the Town
is in fault of the exceeded, but this will be another hardship if we have to pay for this. We have already
started receiving bills from the engineer firm for payment, which is in the dollar amount of $13,500.
Please consider these things during the review.
If you have any question please fill free to call or email me.

You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no response is received
in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be prepared.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. The Division of Water Quality
