RE: Response — Notice of Violation
Permit # - WQ0001990
Tracking No. — NOV-2019-PC-0204
Dear Ms. Price,
In response to the 02/19/2019 findings, the area in question has been remediated and was,
prior to your arrival. With the material being mostly grass, initial thoughts were to utilize
it as an erosion control measure. In retrospect, given that it came from the thickner
troughs and being a component of the treatment process, that was not the best disposal
method. Future practice(s) regarding the cleaning of the troughs will result in disposal of
any materials into dumpsters, thus going to the landfill.
Regarding the 03/12/2019 visit, the electrical and air source problems have been
remediated; email reference addressed to you 3-13-2019. Concerns with the electrical
panel have been addressed, re -energized and blowers are moving air into/out of the piles.
The 2 piles with already documented temperatures will be re-temped, subjected to the
time/temperature/bacteriological parameter requirements and corresponding
tracking/record keeping of said piles, documented. Moving forward, there are no
anticipated hurdles maintaining the proper operation and maintenance of the residuals
system.
I thank you for your time and attention with these findings. Please contact me as needed
with any future questions or concerns.
