The Town of Spring Hope appreciates the opportunity to respond to NOV-2019-MV-
0100 dated July 10, 2019, for a frequency violation for Temperature for the month of
May 2019.
This response will provide additional information regarding the incident and it is our
hope that the additional information is sufficient and that the Division will decide not to
pursue further action. The Temperature (00010) for the date pertaining to 5/25/2019 was
absent due to the laxity of the operator. After examination of his logbooks he found
that he failed to submit the temperature for that particular day. The eDMR has been
amended and attached to this response.
Therefore, we request that as the Division considers these efforts when deciding on
further enforcement. The Town of Spring Hope has limited resources and we would
much rather dedicate these resources to addressing issues with the Utility infrastructure
versus civil penalties. If the Town of Spring Hope can be of any further assistance or
additional information is needed, please contact me at 252-478-3728.
Sincerely,

Jae Kim
Town of Spring Hope
