Dear Landon,
This letter is written on behalf of the Buncombe County Schools to provide information
as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility in reference to NOV letter
dated 6-7-19. RPB Systems, Inc. is the contract operations firm, which operates this
facility.
We collected a 66.6 mg/L BOD on 4-16-19 which exceeded the daily maximum of 45
mg/L and resulted in a 26.54 mg/L compliant monthly average. With any abnormal
results or visual observations we make air adjustments, waste sludge, and add soda ash to
raise pH levels as part of our work at the WWTP. All weekly BOD's were compliant in
March, April other than week of 4/16/19 and all May.
I trust you will call if you have any further questions or concerns.
JZOx $w►n.
Robert Barr
