Subject: RE: [External] Response to NOV, Pine Street WTP (NOV-2019-LV-0510)
No need to mail.
I read the response and a major reason why a potential exists for a civil penalty for the limit violations is failing the
monthly. Once the issue was discovered and not sure how it was discovered as unlikely the sample result would have
been available in 2 days, then the Town should have been prepared to sample an extra time or two to help ensure to
meet the monthly limit as you get a free pass for a single daily excursion.
A TSS of 78 should have been very obvious to the operator pulling or handling the samples that it was way above normal
as 50 is fairly obvious; perhaps this is why you looked and found the issue. A 3rd result at or lower than the result from
June 18t" would have met the monthly limit.
We will discuss it, but preliminarily I would say a penalty would likely be issued.

The goal of the Fast Track sewer permit program is to issue a permit in no more than 30 business days from receipt of a complete application and if
no additional information has to be requested upon full review. Please use the Department's Permit Application Tracker to determine the official
application receipt date to allow you to estimate a date for issuance and find the reviewer's name. Once issued, the record stays on the site for 30
days.
For previously issued sewer permit info or to check on sewer certification receipt status, please use the Division's Sewer Extension Permit
Tracker. Using the Issue Date on top of the Engineer Certification Form is best way to ensure getting what you want especially for multi -version
permits; using today's date only gives info on the latest permit version. Confirmation using this method will replace letters and emails; it is
recommended that confirmation be printed and/or saved.
