Dear Mr. Powell:

S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
This letter is to advise you that this office is considering enforcement action regarding the violations
cited in the Notice of Violation (NOV) dated June 28, 2016, previously sent to you.
We have reviewed the NOV response and do not feel that your response to corrective action item #2
(identify the nature of the hydraulic connection between the stormwater pond and Jonathan Creek) was
sufficient. You indicated that representatives of Powell Industries have made extensive investigations of any
possible connection between Pond #2 and Jonathan Creek. However, the investigations were not detailed in
the response.
If you wish to present an explanation for the violations cited, or if you believe there are other factors
which should be considered, please send such information to me in writing within ten (10) days following
receipt of this letter. Your response will be reviewed, and taken into consideration prior to assessment of any
civil penalty.
