Notice of Violation NPDES Permit No. FL0000159 i

Dear Mr. McGarry:

Please be advised that our failure to report heavy metals concentrations for discharge 009 (south ash pond) for October 1983 was the result of inadequate sampling procedures.

In addition, we have discovered that a sample was not taken for the north ash pond which discharged one day in January 1984.

As you are aware the south ash pond had just been placed in operation and October was the first month of discharge. Our sampling procedures called for a monthly metals sample which is normally taken during the first week of each month.

However, on October 5, 1983, when the sample was taken only the north ash pond was discharging.

No subse-quent sample from the south pond was taken since the procedure did not include a note to 9et a sample from both ponds if each discharges during the month.

For the January incident the sample was taken after the single day of discharge from the north pond on January 1,1984.

To prevent such incidents in the future we have modified our sampling instructions.

We are adding a note in our environmental procedures manual which will direct the technician to take separate samples for heavy metals during any month in which we experience dual ash pond operation.

Sho d ou have any questions concerning this matter, please advise.
