Ms. Suzie Meadows,
The Town of Dallas, N.C. is reporting the failure of their Chronic Toxicity for the month of
February, 2019. We were notified by our contract lab of the failure on Monday, 11`h of February
2019. We spoke with Annette McMurray, the City of Gastonia, who does our lab data and found
no other parameters were out of compliance for the week testing was conducted. February 0-8'h
2019. The only concern was the level of TSS in our influent which was four times higher than usual
flow concentrations. We have experienced illegal dumping to our sewer system in the past, and police
have been notified to monitor places of concern where that type of activity could be occurring. This is
the only conclusion we could come to, considering all indicators on effluent testing showed no signs of
disruption. Subsequent testing is scheduled for the months following this failure.
Any questions can be directed to me, Jon A. Page, ORC, Dallas WWTP. Contact phone # (727) 277-
7865. Thank You.
Jon A. Page Cert. # 9998
