Dear Mr. Bennett:
D
BUFF -''VG
For the month of February, 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 February.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mark Cassidy
General Manager
