Dear Mr. Vinson:
In order to address the BOD issue, the sludge wasting rate for the WRF was decreased.
The wasting rate decrease gave a higher amount of solids in the oxidation ditch/ final
clarifier system. The higher solids made available sufficient bacteria to remove BOD
more effectively.
The WRF was compliant for BOD in July and August 2021. We will monitor this
situation closely and make necessary adjustments to remain in compliance.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at 252-431-
608 1 .
Sincerely,
Christy Lipscomb
HWRF Director/0
