Thank you for allowing the Pope Industrial Park the opportunity to respond to this Notice of Violation

As explained on the response to the NOV-2022-LM-0083, the personnel at the facility have detected that
during the weekends the recorded flow shows an increased volume, and it is considered as the possible
cause of the irregular and elevated fluctuations on the system

Before receiving this Notice of Violation, one possible cause that has been detected is the large crowds
on the weekends generated at certain entertainment facility in the area, but the cause continues to be
investigated, right now the aspects that can prevent the increase of the flow on the weekends.

Some of the corrective actions done to the system are:
• The replacement of 14 leaking flappers in toilets throughout the entire industrial park, done on
December 01, 2022.
• The implementation of a digital chart recorder on the meter to help determine what is causing
the increase in the flow and the BOD.
• The personnel in charge of the plumbing has increased the monitoring through the entire park to
detect possible leaking or influents in the system.
It is our request that the Division take into consideration the inaccuracies in the Notice of Violation and
the immediate corrective actions taken by the permittee when deciding whether further enforcement
actions are warranted.
Sincerely,
4, '4 - 4.�
