Dear Mr. Ellis:
Our office is in receipt of the letter from J S Dismuke Co., Inc. concerning the influent flow
meter incorrectly reporting on the July 2003 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). If it is
believed that this incident was not an isolated case, then the City should replace the influent flow
meter with one that can read a higher range of flows.
The facility should begin to keep a rain gage on site and report rainfall daily on the DMR
beginning with the month of November 2003. As a reminder preservation of the Waters of the
State can only be acquired through consistent NPDES permit compliance.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 910-486-1541.
Sincerely,

Re: EQ Basin Repaired — Notification of no Discharge for. November 3rd and 4th
Dear Ms. Henson:
The contractors informed the City of Laurinburg that the EQ Basin project has been
completed and is back in service. Based on this information we would like to inform
your office that on November 3rd we will begin diverting all of our influent flow to the
EQ Basin in order for the contractors to complete the project at the cascade aerator. The
reason for this is to do a final concrete pour on the bottom floor at the cascade aerator.
The contractors requested that the flow be diverted for 2 days. We do not anticipate. any
operational problems due to this procedure.
If you have any question please give me a call at the number below.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Ellis
