D^_and carbonates. Therefore, the TOC.violations reported siftce the end of July`and the'beginning of August are not
organic carbon violations. A letter on this matter will

Date of Time of Deviot ion Devict i on 7/25
Reason or
Explonotion
'
The source of excessive TOC on this date (as well as that-
reported last week for 7/21) has been traced to an inoraanic unit in the Complex - it did not come from the orqanics area. There is a possibility the pollutant reported as TOC ma'
turn out to be inorganic rather than organic carbon. An effort is being made to resolve this matter as;auicklv as possible.
