Dear Mr. Shuler:

On April 9, 2014, I performed a routine compliance inspection and Sanitary Sewer Overflow inspection of the above referenced facility in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your records.

Please refer to the "Summary of Findings" section of the attached inspection report and provide a written response for each violation that was noted. This response should be mailed to the attention of the Water Division Inspection Branch at the address at the bottom of this letter or emailed to Water-Inspection-Report@adeq.state.ar.us. This response should contain documentation describing the course of action taken to correct each item noted. This corrective action should be completed as soon as possible, and the written response with all necessary documentation (i.e. photos) is due by May 23, 2014.

If I can be of any assistance, please contact me at saunders@adeq.state.ar.us or (870) 424-3322 ext. 3.

Sincerely,

Sean Saunders District 11 Field Inspector Water Division
