Mr. Boss,

The wastewater treatment plant was found to be in violation of the SOC for the month of
March. Upon review of the data, it was found that we were out of compliance for the following,
weekly TSS, monthly TSS weekly BOD monthly BOD. The BOD and TSS deficiencies were
due to high flows passing through our secondary clarifiers. This caused an upset in the clarifiers
and allowed solids to pass through. With the continued progress of the new upgrades this
problem should be mitigated soon, until then we will continue every means necessary to be
proactive in dealing with this problem. Should you need anything else in this matter please let us
know.

Sincerely,
Jeff Stines
Director of Public Services
Town of Waynesville
