The Town of Kenansville has received the NOV and Intent to Assess Civil Penalty for a fecal and
coliform violation at the Town of Kenansville's WWTP. The weekly average exceeded the limits
during the month of July 2018. The Town is requesting that no additional enforcement actions
be taken for the following reasons:
The fecal and coliform on July 11, 2018 was 2100. 1 really feel like the sample bottle had to have
been contaminated either while the sample was being taken or checked. The free chlorine in
the contact chamber was 1.40 on that day which was around the same thing that it has been
running and all the other results were <1. I was not informed that the sample was high until it
was to late for me to get another sample to get the numbers for the week down. The plant was
running the same the whole month, so I really feel that the bottle had to get contaminated
somehow.
Thanks for your time and I just wanted to say that if this letter is late I am sorry, but we have
had computers and phones down from 9/13/18 to 9/21/18 during Hurricane Florence.
Sincerely,
Garry Benson
Public Works Director
