Dear Mr. Bennett:
RECEIVED
OCT 21 &5
CENTRAL FILES
SWR SECTION
For the month of September, the measurable rainfall that fell during daylight hours was contained
and pumped to Waste Treatment from the 001 North Storm Water containment catch basin. Any
additional rain that fell would have been at night, or weekends which would have made access to
the storm water sampling locations a safety hazard for plant staff. The 002 South Storm Water
containment pond remains far below discharge level. For these reasons there were no samples
collected for the month of September, 2015.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mark Cassidy r
General Manager
