Your letter dated December 2e 2022, received January 5`4' 2023
Dear ladies and Gentlemen,
We are fully aware of the waste water situation in October 2022.Our Operator, Jones Environmental,
who inspects the plant daily, observed an undefined fluid on top of the sewage (white/milky). He took a
picture and a sample for chemical analysis right away.
Our operator checked the TSS but there was no abnormality (also shown later in the analysis report).
Based on the analysis report, the main problem seemed to be the BOD. We could not find a problem in
the working structure of the plant, also supported by the other chemical values.
As a preventive action, that this will not happen again, we informed all our tenants by E-mail and a
posting at the park Entrance, that they should be more careful when throwing things in the sewer
system (see park notice attached; Not to flush).
We discussed with our operator what options we have to reduce this possible situation to a minimum.
This is still in process. if the NCDEQ has some proposals, how we can avoid unwanted substances
entering the sewer line, we are more than happy to discuss these options.
We are very disturbed about this situation because we want to support the environment and definitively
do not want to pollute the water. We are open to any discussion you my propose, to help to keep the
environment healthy and safe.
We appreciate your support and understanding,
Leisa Reusch
