This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation (NOV) issued as a result of violating NC General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and Jordan Lake WTP Permit No. NCG590014 (Lagoon) dated February 15,
2023, that our office received on February 23, 2023.
Jordan Lake WTP's monitoring violations for 2"d quarter samples (April -June 2022) were due to failure to
sample. Jordan Lake WTP staff didn't receive the sample kits for 2nd Quarter samples and samples were
not sent to the lab for testing. During the same period our bi-weekly samples were not missed. Our lab
also missed notification of required samples due to switching to new lab end of June 2022.
Jordan Lake WTP (Chatham County) respectfully asks that any civil penalty be remitted due to our
history of operating within our permit and no NOV's in the past 10 years.
Chatham County's mission and goal is to stay in compliance properly and successfully with the rules and
regulations set forth by NCDEQ. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Clevenger
Jordan Lake WTP ORC (Chatham County)

Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
