Subject: [External] notice of deficiency response
Mr. Meilinger,
Let me start off with my apologies for not sending this out on time. I had planned on doing it but it must have gotten
lost in the shuffle.
After providing a notice of deficiency to your department we basically waited until the ground was dry enough to irrigate
on. Since that time we have dropped 2 of our 3 lagoons to the stop pumping marker and will have the last one down to
that marker within the next week, barring any significant rain events.
Sincerely,
Jason Butler
