You are requested to contact a technical specialist immediately to address possible crop options
and immediately plant the required crop as identified in your new CAWMP for waste application
to prevent an emergency situation due to high freeboard. In addition, you are requested to address
the following:
1. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in regard to the proper collection, handling
and submittal of a waste analysis sample.
2. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in designing an irrigation system.
3. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in record keeping in regard to waste
applicatioon.
Please notify this office in writing on or before August 22, 1997 at the address below as to the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve this deficiency. Nothing in this letter should be
taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may
result from these deficiencies.
