Thank you so much for responding to my call so quickly. This lei ter is in response to compliance
Evaluation Inspection letter dated November 8, 2022; received November 26, 2022. The following
actions have been taken in effort to comply with rules governing the NPDLS Permit NCG550000 and
Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG551401, specifically to issues noted in items 3, 4, and 5.
Item 3: Chlorine Tablet In The Chlorinator
We are making every effort to weekly restock the correct Chlorine tablet as indicated in the letter
received.
Item 4: Dechlorination Tablets
The correct kind of'dechlorination tablets are being used, and we ar� strivi�g to ensure they go all the
way to the water, to include running water in the system to flush the tablet down.
Item 5: Analyzing the Effluent
Since receipt of letter dated November 8, 2022; received November 26, 20 2, we have monitored the
effluent but have not been able to collect a sample. We have a call "n to a septic service to come out
and ascertain if pumping is required.
Unfortunately, around the time we received the letter, an immediate family{ member passed away and
the family contracted COVID. No excuses, we got sidetracked.
We are now back on course and are continuing to monitor effluenl� and will get a sample submitted
for testing as soon as it is available.
