RE: Henderson's Assisted Living WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO071897
NOV-2019-LV-0566
Dear Mr. Davidson,
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to the Notice of Violation dated September 16, 2019.
Our response below is for the exceedance of BOD levels for the June 2019 sample period.
Exceedance of the BOD 5-day on June 4, 19 and 30 were due to high solid levels and non-functioning
tertiary system. Our operator has worked diligently to try to keep the WWTP in compliance until the
upgrades with the plant are complete.
Henderson's Assisted Living is making a considerable investment to improve their plant in order to ensure
proper operation. Once the plant is able to regain a healthy state, we are in hopes the WWTP will begin
operating in compliance with their permit. They are preparing to break ground on October 14'" and
anticipating completion by October 24rn
It is always our goal to remain in compliance with regulations set forth by the Division of Water Resources.
It is our request that their actions in the matters be taken into account by the Division when enforcement
action is taken.
Sincerely,
Trish Bryan
