Re Richland CountyM&D Real EstateNPDES Permit

August 23, 2011

Mrs. Shelly FisherM&D Real Estate Investments1862 Westover CourtMansfield, Ohio 44906

Dear Mrs. Fisher:

On August 3, 2011, an inspection was made of the wastewater treatment facilities serving your propertylocated at 4732 Lincoln Highway, Springfield Township, Richland County. At the time of the inspection,all major components of the treatment system appeared to be operating normally.

During the inspection, it was noted that the tablets in the chlorine feeder were not in contact with thewater. Several tablets at the bottom of the feeder tube had partially dissolved and become soft; however,they were preventing full tablets from failings down the tube to replace them. While performing checksat the treatment plant, the operator needs to be sure that the tablets are falling down the tube. Thisrequires the tube to be removed from the box and visually inspected. Please see the enclosed photograph.

The operator's log mentioned that the left sand filter dosing pump was malfunctioning beginning onJuly 18. It did not appear that this pump has been repaired. This should be done immediately if notalready completed.

Our office has received your discharge monitoring reports for the months of January through July 2011.A review of the data submitted revealed five violations of the limits contained In your NPDES permit.Four of the violations were for exceeding the pH limit; the other was for exceeding the total suspendedsolids limit.

A copy of our completed inspection report has been enclosed for your review. If you have any questions,please call me at 419-373-3070.

Sincerely,

Walter ̂ Jds S P. E.Environmental Specialist IIDivision of Surface Water
