Isaiah and Jeff,
Since the accidental fire on April 28, 2019 that damaged part of our facility, AZP has made significant efforts to minimize any adverse impacts and
to otherwise ensure the protection of human health and the environment. These measures have included management of the fire water used to contain
and control the fire. In accordance with the Department's request, we have contained that fire water in the retention basin at the facility, limiting
discharge to the River to circumstances where heavy rainfall has dictated the need for discharge.
In addition, as also discussed with the Department, we have collected samples of the collected water and analyzed these samples for relevant
parameters. As you requested, we have compiled that analytic data (for Cadmium, Lead and Zinc) in the following table for your review. The
collected data reflect that the concentrations of relevant parameters that we are currently measuring in the basin are generally consistent with our
established (baseline) discharge levels from the basin, except with respect to more elevated concentrations of zinc.

A sample was taken from the vault and from the basin just on the other side of vault. Because of the
assimilation of water in the basin, water collected from the basin is more representative of actual
conditions at this time.
