Dear Mr. Davidson,
As requested, the City of Brevard offers the following documentation regarding compliance
activities with regard to the Environmental Management Commission Settlement Agreement
requirements. The reporting period includes Collections System activities for October, November
and December of 2016.

During this quarter there were no sewer discharge events in the city. The Tennessee
Valley Authority reported a total of 5.39" of precipitation was received in the Brevard area
during this quarter. This amount of rainfall was 4.22" less than the previous quarter
reported. It is believed l&I elimination on the system and less rainfall attribute to the lack
of events this reporting period.
