We should fwd it to their lawyers, so I’ll do that when I receive a final copy. Amy, I haven’t spoken to him on the phone yet but am trying to set up a time on Thursday or Friday. I did email him a copy of the DEQ letter and and the link to DEQ’s odor enforcement authority that the City’s consultant emailed us, and said I wanted to discuss the implications of both. Spencer Q.

Folks, here is that letter for CHTC, along with the reissued Survey. Just a reminder that I have not sent this notice of violation to any of the other non-responders on our list.
Respectfully,

Thanks Amy.
Andy – Please prepare a letter in accordance with our pretreatment code to go out to CHTC for failing to submit the required categorical user survey.
J. Special Agreements Not Restricted.
2. When requested, an industrial user must submit information on a survey form prepared by the Director of Public Works before commencing discharge into the City wastewater system, identifying the nature and characteristics of the user’s wastewater. The Director may periodically require industrial users to update the survey. Failure to complete this survey within the time set by the Director is grounds for terminating service to the industrial user.
Z. Notification of Violation. Whenever any industrial user has violated or is violating this chapter, a wastewater permit or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or pretreatment requirement, the Director may issue a written notice of violation. Within 10 business days of the receipt of this notice, the industrial user shall submit an explanation of the violation and a detailed plan for the satisfactory correction of the violation and the prevention of future violation. Submission of this plan does not relieve the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the City authority to take emergency action without first issuing a notice of violation.
We will send two copies of the letter, one certified and one not certified, will start the clock once we get the certified tag back but no later than 10 business days after we mail the letters. Thanks.

Ms. Larson,
Owen forwarded me your email. DEQ issued its Notice of Civil Penalty and Assessment today. Columbia 410 LLC has 20 days to request a hearing on the matter. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Morning Owen,
I am following up on the attached email correspondence between you and our former Planning Director, Alice Cannon. It is my understanding that DEQ issued CHTC a Pre-Enforcement letter (attached) in Mid-February. Has or does DEQ anticipate moving into formal enforcement against CHTC in regards to their air quality violations?
I appreciate any information you can provide as to the status of this issue.
Kind regards,
Julie Larson
