Box 1325 Asheville, N.C. 28802 (828)-251-1900 (828)-251-1945 May 9, 2019 Landon Davidson NCDENR Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S. 70 Highway Swannanoa, NC 28778-8211 Re: 2ND Notice of Violation NOV-2019-LV-0284 WQ0029233 Bear Lake Reserve Mr. Davidson This letter is in response to your original 4-15-19 letter and now new 5-1-19 letter to Bear Lake Reserve attached. We did exceed daily permit limits for fecal coliform for daily maximums with 600 mg/L on 2-5-19 which exceeded the daily and monthly allowable limits. The excel spreadsheet form does not recognize the >600 value and show blanks at the summary of the fecal column. We have entered 600 in the cell of the excel spreadsheet and a > sign by hand. The operator has been cleaning UV lights during the month and before sampling events and is still getting some hits and others in compliance. We have replaced bulbs on a regular basis, annually, and am ordering new lights now to change out again. The missing TKN was sampled and we are submitting an amended report to Raleigh central files today and attached for your review. Please note: No water was irrigated or sent to irrigation holding tank in February 2019. All effluent was recycled to the upset tank and processed again. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any questions please call anytime. Robert Barr Robert Barr
