Re: Notice of Violation
Dear Mr. Shields:
This letter is in response to the notice of PH discharges found in violation
during the testing from the period of time noted January and February 2017.
We found the operator of the system (David Hayes) did not completely
understand the range on the lower limit and discharged wastewater with
incorrect PH levels. He has been retrained and understands the PH range is
to be maintained for discharge between the ranges of 6-9.
We do not expect that this will occur again and was isolated to that period of
time.
If there are any further questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
