Dear M. Perez:
1ol o\22 ernA1ed ✓
Per the Notice of Violation for Peppertree Resort dated October 4, 2022 (copy enclosed),
We would like to respond to the deficiencies of Violation in August, 2022.
On 08/31/22 The 13OD sampling exeeded the monthly total average limit of 10. The
parameter for the month average total was 10.32. Also, the Ammonia Nitrogen total for the
month was 5.29 and exceeded the monthly total limit of 4
On the NDMR report for August, 2022, comments were made on the report as to the
exceedences. On 8/11/22 a breaker tripped on blower. On the 08/25/22 sampling date, blower
(2) belts went. We replaced the belts that day.
With the plant deteriation and the conditions we are having to work with, we are very
happy with as close as we have been with the results of the sampling parameters.
Any questions, you may give me a call at [phone].
Sincerely,
Cfro 610/19W
Daniel E. Fortin, ORC
