Good afternoon,
The NOVs that have been sent to Ridgeview Acres Mobile Home Park (NC0060283)are NOV-2023-
TX-0004& NOV-2023-TX-0011, which were regarding missing AT forms for November 2022.
Following the NOVs,you sent us the November 2022 AT form by email indicating"No flow",which
has resolved the issue.There will be no civil penalties assessed for those NOVs.
Thank you for submitting the February 2023 AT form before the deadline of March 31, 2023.This AT

concentration Ceriodaphnia dubia test in April 2023 If these tests have a chronic value above your

90%,you will receive further NOVs and potential civil penalties based on the chronic values.
I am attaching your permit to this email. Pages 3-S explain your toxicity requirements. Please refer to
this permit to fully understand your testing requirements, and let me know if you have any further
questions.
