City of St. Augustine Says It Filed Its Quarterly Report on Waste Water Treatment Plant With EPA

Dear Mr. Slavin,

Your email corespondence dated 12/30/08 at 4:39 p.m. has been referred to our
office for response. City staff have investigated the entry on the EPA ECHO
Three Year Compliance Status by Quarter Report for the City's water and waste
water treatment plant showing a failure to file the DMR report for quarter 12 of
the three year compliance period.

The investigation reveals that the City submitted the DMR's in question and
possesses certified mail receipts signed by the agency showing receipt of the
reports. In addition, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's
Compliance representative, Karen Girard, concurs that the DMR's are on file and
could offer no explanation why the ECHO website indicates a reporting violation.
Ms. Girard further indicated that she will investigate the apparent error and
have the website corrected by next month.

In summary, any error appears to lie with the EPA website and not with the City
of St. Augustine.

Thank you for your attention to this response.

Dear John and Martha:
Why were no reports filed by the City of St. Augustine for its Waste Water
Treatment Plant during the July-September quarter?
With kindest regards,
Ed Slavin
