CONSENT ORDER
This Consent Order is entered into between the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection ( " Department" ) and Indian River County Department of Utility Services
( " Respondent" ) to reach settlement of certain matters at issue between the Department and
Respondent.
The Department finds and the Respondent admits the following :
1 . The Department is the administrative agency of the State of Florida having the
power and duty to protect Florida's air and water resources and to administer and enforce the
provisions of Chapter 403 , Florida Statutes ("F . S . ") , and the rules promulgated thereunder, Title 62 ,
Florida Administrative Code ("F .A . C . ") . The Department has jurisdiction over the matters
addressed in this Consent Order.
2 . Respondent is a person within the meaning of Section 403 . 031 ( 5 ) , F . S .
3 . Respondent is the owner and is responsible for the operation of the facility that
produces potable water for a public water supply system . The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) draws
ground water at approximately 9 MGD from 6 supply wells , pretreats the water with acid and anti-
scalant and applies the water to a group of membrane filters . The system produces 6 . 0 MGD of
permeate for the potable system, which is blended with 1 . 5 MGD of water that bypasses the
membranes for a net potable water production of 7 . 5 MGD . The Demineralization Concentrate is
generated as a by-product of the system at a Maximum Daily Flow (MDF) of 1 . 5 MGD . The
Demineralization Concentrate is chlorinated to treat Hydrogen Sulfide and aerated to remove the
chlorine residuals . The effluent is discharged to the South Relief Canal , a Class III fresh surface
water body of the State via Outfall D-001 . This outfall consists of a 14 inch diameter pipe with a
free fall discharge 15 feet from shore ( "Facility") . Respondent operates the treatment system under
Department wastewater permit No . FL0037940 which expired on December 14, 2005 . The Facility
is located at 1550 SW 91" Avenue , Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, Latitude 27 ° 35 '
27 . 37" North, Longitude 80° 24 ' 0 . 55 " West. The Facility is owned by and is operated under the
name of IRCUD = South County Demineralization Concentrate NPDES Discharge .
4 , This Facility is permitted under delegated authority from the USEPA (U . S .
Environmental Protection Agency) , On June 16 , 2005 , the Department received a permit renewal
application for the Facility and the expiring permit was administratively continued . A file review
indicated that the Facility was exceeding the toxicity, gross alpha particle activity, total radium 226
+ radium 228 and specific conductance limits in the permit. Numerous requests for additional
information and file reviews didn ' t provide reasonable assurance to the Department that the Facility
could meet the proposed effluent limits .
5 . The discharge receiving waters of the South Relief Canal do not have sufficient
dilution for a mixing zone and recent experience indicate that it would be very unlikely that the
USEPA would grant a mixing zone . The Respondent will be required to provide an alternate
discharge location.
6 . Having reached a resolution of the matter the Department and the Respondent
mutually agree and it is
2 of 17 OGC File No . 084661
ORDERED :
7 , Within 3 years of the effective date of the renewal permit, FL0037940-003
("Permit") , Respondent shall provide sustained compliance with at least six (6) consecutive months
of data demonstrating that the Facility is in compliance with the conditions of the Permit. If the
Respondent can demonstrate compliance , Respondent can request extension of the Permit for the
complete five (5 ) year term. In the event that the Respondent cannot demonstrate compliance,
Respondent shall immediately cease discharge at Outfall D-001 . The purpose of this Consent Order
is to allow the Facility to remain in compliance while evaluating plant operational changes to
achieve compliance and develop an alternative discharge . Respondent shall comply with the
conditions of the Permit and this Consent Order.
8 . The effluent discharged from the Facility to the South Relief Canal shall comply
with the interim limits in Table 1 , below. All of the other parameter limits in the Permit remain the
final effluent limits . The interim limits shall become effective upon the first day of the month
following the effective date of this Consent Order. The interim limits shall remain in effect until 90
days after the completion of the corrective actions/construction of modifications as referenced in
Paragraph 7 , above, and Paragraph 10 , below . A copy of the DMR, DEP Form 62 - 620 . 910( 10) , to
be used for reporting the interim limit values is incorporated herein and attached as Exhibit 1 . The
analysis and reporting of the interim limits shall be in accordance with the Permit. These interim
limits do not act as State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Wastewater Permit
effluent limitations or modified Permit limitations, nor do they authorize or otherwise justify
violation of the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act, Part I , Chapter 403 , F . S . , during the
pendency of this Consent Order.

later than the 28th day following the end of the reporting period (e . g . , the August report would be
due not later than September 28th. )
9 , The Respondent shall comply with the following requirements to evaluate acute
whole effluent toxicity of the discharge from Outfall D-001 :
a . Effluent Limitation
( 1 ) Whole effluent acute toxicity, using Menidia beryllina as the test organism,
shall not exceed in any routine or in any additional follow-up test an LC50 of less than 100%
effluent.
(2 ) Whole effluent acute toxicity, using Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia as
the test organism shall be report only .
b . Monitoring Frequency :
4 of 17 OGC File No . 08 - 1661
( 1 ) Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia routine toxicity testing shall be
conducted monthly, the first starting within 30 days of the issuance of this Consent Order and
lasting for the duration of this Consent Order.
(2) Menidia beryllina routine toxicity testing shall be conducted quarterly
concurrent with a monthly Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia routine toxicity test. The first
Menidia beryllina test shall start within 60 days of issuance of this Consent Order and lasting for
the duration of this Consent Order.
c . Sampling Requirements :
( 1 ) Routine tests shall be conducted on four separate grab samples collected at
evenly-spaced ( 6-hr) intervals over a 24-hour period. The four grab samples shall be used in four
bioassays for each species to be tested and shall represent one test. If the duration of the discharge is
less than 24-hours , the duration of discharge shall be documented on the chain of custody.
Sufficient sample at each sampling event shall be collected for chemical analysis of ionic imbalance
ions including potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, chloride, bromide , and sulfate and for a
Major Seawater Ion Imbalance Toxicity (MSIIT) Test . The chemical analysis is to be performed on
each sample collected . The MSIIT is to be started immediately using the same effluent sample when
an Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia bioassay has greater than 50 percent mortality in the 100%
effluent dilution at or prior to 96 hours from test initiation . The MSIIT test is conducted following
the protocols contained in "Technical Guidance Document for Conducting the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection ' s Protocols for Determining Major- Seawater-Ion Imbalance Toxicity
(MSIIT) in Membrane-Technology Water-Treatment Concentration" , FDEP , Bureau of
Laboratories , May 4 , 2004 . A copy of the protocol may be downloaded from the Department ' s
Web Site . If multiple grab samples from the same sampling event have greater than 50% mortality
in the 100% effluent, the MSIIT needs to be conducted on one of the grab samples , not all four.
5 of 17 OGC File No . 08- 1661
(2) Upon successfully completing the Major Seawater Ionic Imbalance Toxicity
test, and following discussion of the results with the Department as provided in 9 . f. (6) , the
Respondent may request a reduction in test frequency for the Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia
bioassays from monthly to quarterly. All reductions in test frequency must be approved by the
Department prior to implementation .
d. Test Requirements :
( 1 ) All routine tests shall be conducted using a control (0% effluent) and a
minimum of five dilutions : 100 % , 80 % , 40 % , 20 % , and 10 % effluent .
(2) The permittee shall conduct 96-hour acute static renewal toxicity tests using
the mysid, Americamysis (Mysidopsis) bahia , and the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina .
(3 ) All test species , procedures and quality assurance criteria used shall be in
accordance with Methods for Measurine Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receivine Waters to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms, EPA- 821 -R-02 -012 . Any deviation of the bioassay
procedures outlined herein shall be submitted in writing to the Department for review and approval
prior to use . In the event the above method is revised, the permittee shall conduct acute toxicity
testing in accordance with the revised method.
(4) The control water and dilution water used shall be artificial seawater and
diluted to the test salinity as described in EPA-821 -R-02 -012 , Section 7 . 2 . 4 . The test salinity shall
be determined as follows :
(a) When the salinity of the effluent is between 1 and 7 parts per thousand (ppt) ,
the following salinity adjustment shall be used. For the Americamysis bahia bioassays , the effluent
and the control (0% effluent) shall be adjusted to a salinity of 7 ppt for the 100% effluent test using
artificial sea salts . No salinity adjustment shall be done for the Menidia beryllina bioassay test.
The salinity of the control/dilution water (0% effluent) shall match the test salinity of the effluent. A
6 of 17 OGC File No . 08 - 1661
salinity adjustment control should be prepared and included with the Americamysis bahia
bioassay . The salinity adjustment control is intended to identify toxicity resulting from adjusting the
salinity of the effluent with artificial sea salts . To prepare the salinity adjustment control , dilute the
control/dilution water to the salinity of the effluent and adjust the salinity of the salinity adjustment
control to 7 ppt at the same time that the salinity of the effluent is adjusted to 7 ppt, using the same
artificial sea salts .
(b) When the salinity of the effluent is greater than 7 ppt, no salinity adjustment
shall be made to the effluent and the test shall be run at the effluent salinity . The salinity of the
control/dilution water (0% effluent) shall match the test salinity of the effluent.
e . Quality Assurance Requirements :
( 1 ) A standard reference toxicant ( SRT) quality assurance (QA) acute toxicity
test shall be conducted with each species used in the required toxicity tests either concurrently or
initiated no more than 30 days before the date of each routine or additional follow-up
test
conducted. The SRT test must be conducted concurrently if the test organisms are obtained from
outside the test laboratory unless the test organism supplier provides control chart data from at least
the last five monthly acute toxicity tests using the same reference toxicant and . test conditions . If
the organism supplier provides the required SRT data, the organism supplier ' s SRT data and the test
laboratory ' s monthly SRT-QA data shall be included in the reports for each companion routine or
additional follow-up test required.
(2 ) If the mortality in the control (0% effluent) exceeds 10% for either species in
any test, the test for that species (including the control) shall be invalidated and the test repeated .
The repeat test shall begin within 14 days after the last day of the invalid test .
7 of 17 CGC ile No . 08 - 156 i
(3 ) If 100% mortality occurs in all effluent concentrations prior to the end of any
test and the control mortality is less than 10% at that time , the test ( including the control) shall be
terminated with the conclusion that the test fails and constitutes non-compliance .
f. Reporting Requirements :
( 1 ) Results from all required tests shall be reported on the Discharge Monitoring
Report (DMR) as follows :
(a) The calculated LC50 effluent concentration shall be entered on the DMR for
each test species .
(2) A bioassay laboratory report for each bioassay test shall be prepared
according to EPA- 821 -R-02 -012 , Section 12 , Report Preparation and Test Review, and mailed to
the Department at the address in below within 30 days after the last day of the test.
(3 ) Data for invalid tests shall be included in the bioassay laboratory report for
the repeat test.
(4) The same bioassay data shall not be reported as the results of more than one
test .
( 5 ) The permittee will notify the Department when the MSIIT testing is begun.
Results of the MSIIT testing shall be mailed to the Department at the address below within 30 days
following the last day of the MSIIT testing .
(6) Within 60 days following completion of the MSIIT testing, the permittee
shall contact the Department to discuss the finding of the MSIIT testing any additional toxicity
identification studies or actions required to remedy the observed acute toxicity .
(7) All bioassay laboratory reports and chemical analysis results shall be sent to :

g . Test Failures
( 1 ) A test fails when the test results do not meet the Menidia beryllina limits in
( 2) Additional Follow-up Tests :
( a) If a routine test does not meet the acute toxicity limitation in 9 . a. ( 1 ) above,
the Respondent shall notify the Department at the address above within 21 days after the last day of
the failed routine test and conduct two additional follow -up tests on Menidia beryllina in
accordance with 9 . d .
(b) The first test shall be initiated within 28 days after the last day of the failed
routine test . The remaining additional follow-up tests shall be conducted weekly thereafter until a
total of two valid additional follow -up tests are completed .
(c) The first additional follow-up test shall be conducted using a control (0%
effluent) and a minimum of five dilutions : 100°/x , 50% , 25 % , 12 . 5 % , and 6 . 25 % effluent . The
Respondent may modify the dilution series in the second additional follow -up test to more
accurately bracket the toxicity such that at least two dilutions above and two dilutions below the
target concentration and a control (0% effluent) are run . All test results shall be statistically
analyzed according to the Appendices in EPA - 821 -R-02-012 .
( 3 ) In the event of three valid Menidia beryllina test failures (whether routine or
additional follow-up tests) within a 12 -month period, the Respondent shall notify the Department
within 21 days after the last day of the third test failure.
( a) The Respondent shall submit a plan for correction of the effluent toxicity
within 60 days after the last day of the third test failure .
9 of 17 OGC File No . 08 - 1661
(b) The Department shall review and approve the plan before initiation .
(c) The plan shall be initiated within 30 days following the Department ' s written
approval of the plan.
(d) Progress reports shall be submitted quarterly to the Department at the address
above .
(e) During the implementation of the plan , the permittee shall conduct quarterly
routine whole effluent toxicity tests with Menidia beryllina in accordance with 9 . d. Additional
follow-up tests are not required while the plan is in progress . Following completion or termination
of the plan, the frequency of monitoring for routine and additional follow-up tests shall return to the
schedule established in 9 .b . ( 1 ) . If a routine test is invalid according to the acceptance criteria in
EPA-821 -R-02-012 , a repeat test shall be initiated within 14 days after the last day of the invalid
routine test.
(f) Upon completion of four consecutive, valid routine tests that demonstrate
compliance with the effluent limitation for Menidia beryllina in 9 . a. ( 1 ) above, the Respondent may
submit a written request to the Department to terminate the plan. The plan shall be terminated upon
written verification by the Department that the facility has passed at least four consecutive valid
routine whole effluent toxicity tests . If a test within the sequence of the four is deemed invalid, but
is replaced by a repeat valid test initiated within 14 days after the last day of the invalid test, the
invalid test will not be counted against the requirement for four consecutive valid tests for the
purpose of terminating the plan.
(4) The additional follow-up testing and the plan do not preclude the Department
taking enforcement action for whole effluent toxicity permit limit violations .
10 of 17 OGC File No . 08 - 1661
10 . Simultaneously with the effort to achieve compliance , Respondent shall develop,
design and permit an alternative discharge location . The alternative discharge location shall be
placed into service , demonstrating compliance with the final effluent limits in the Permit, no later
than 3 years from the effective date of the renewal Permit.
11 . Every calendar quarter after the effective date of this Consent Order, Respondent
shall submit in writing to the Department a report containing information concerning the status and
progress of projects being completed under this Consent Order, information as to compliance or
noncompliance with the applicable requirements of this Consent Order including construction
requirements and effluent limitations , and any reasons for noncompliance . Such reports shall also
include a projection of the work to be performed pursuant to this Consent Order during the
following quarterly period. The reports shall be submitted to the Department within thirty (30) days
following the end of the quarter.
12 . In the event of a sale or conveyance of the Facility or of the property upon which the
Facility is located, if all of the requirements of this Consent Order have not been fully satisfied,
Respondent shall, at least 30 days prior to the sale or conveyance of the property or Facility, ( 1 )
notify the Department of such sale or conveyance, (2 ) provide the name and address of the
purchaser, or operator, or person(s) in control of the Facility, and (3 ) provide a copy of this Consent
Order with all attachments to the new owner. The sale or conveyance of the Facility, or the property
upon which the Facility is located shall not relieve the Respondent of the obligations imposed in
this Consent Order.
13 , Within 30 days of execution of this Consent Order, Respondent shall pay the
Department $ 2 , 000 . 00 for costs and expenses incurred by the Department during the investigation
of this matter and the preparation and tracking of this Consent Order. Payment shall be made by

Department may make demands for payment at any time after violations occur. Nothing in this
Paragraph shall prevent the Department from filing suit to specifically enforce any terms of this
Consent Order. Any penalties assessed under this Paragraph shall be in addition to the settlement
sum agreed to in Paragraph 13 of this Consent Order. If the Department is required to file a lawsuit
to recover stipulated penalties under this Paragraph, the Department will not be foreclosed from
seeking civil penalties for violations of this Consent Order in an amount greater than the stipulated
penalties due under this Paragraph .
15 . If any event, including administrative or judicial challenges by third parties unrelated
to the Respondent, occurs which causes delay or the reasonable likelihood of delay, in complying
with the requirements of this Consent Order, Respondent shall have the burden of proving the delay
was or will be caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Respondent and could
not have been or cannot be overcome by Respondent's due diligence . Economic circumstances shall
not be considered circumstances beyond the control of Respondent, nor shall the failure of a
12 of 17 OGC File No . 08- 1661
contractor, subcontractor, materialman or other agent (collectively referred to as " contractor" ) to
whom responsibility for performance is delegated to meet contractually imposed deadlines be a
cause beyond the control of Respondent, unless the cause of the contractor's late performance was
also beyond the contractor's control. Upon occurrence of an event causing delay, or upon becoming
aware of a potential for delay, Respondent shall notify the Department orally within 24 hours or by
the next working day and shall , within seven calendar days of oral notification to the Department,
notify the Department in writing of the anticipated length and cause of the delay, the measures
taken or to be taken to prevent or minimize the delay and the timetable by which Respondent
intends to implement these measures . If the parties can agree that the delay or anticipated delay has
been or will be caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Respondent, the time for
performance hereunder shall be extended for a period equal to the agreed delay resulting from such
circumstances . Such agreement shall adopt all reasonable measures necessary to avoid or minimize
delay. Failure of Respondent to comply with the notice requirements of this Paragraph in a timely
manner shall constitute a waiver of Respondent's right to request an extension of time for
compliance with the requirements of this Consent Order.
16 . Persons who are not parties to this Consent Order, but whose substantial interests are
affected by this Consent Order, have a right, pursuant to Sections 120 . 569 and 120 . 57 , Florida
Statutes , to petition for an administrative hearing on it. The Petition must contain the information

(h) A statement of the relief sought by petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner
wants the Department to take with respect to the Consent Order.
If a petition is filed, the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate agency
action . Accordingly, the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in
this Notice . Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any decision of the Department
with regard to the subject Consent Order have the right to petition to become a party to the
proceeding. The petition must conform to the requirements specified above and be filed (received)
within 21 days of receipt of this notice in the Office of General Counsel at the above address of the
Department. Failure to petition within the allowed time frame constitutes a waiver of any right such
person has to request a hearing under Sections 120 . 569 and 120 . 57 , Florida Statutes, and to
participate as a party to this proceeding. Any subsequent intervention will only be at the approval of
the presiding officer upon motion filed pursuant to Rule 28- 106 . 205 , Florida Administrative Code.
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Consent Order may file a timely
petition for an administrative hearing under Sections 120 . 569 and 120 . 57 , Florida Statutes , or may
choose to pursue mediation as an alternative remedy under Section 120 . 573 , Florida Statutes, before
the deadline for filing a petition . Choosing mediation will not adversely affect the right to a hearing
if mediation does not result in a settlement. The procedures for pursuing mediation are set forth
below .
Mediation may only take place if the Department and all the parties to the proceeding agree
that mediation is appropriate . A person may pursue mediation by reaching a mediation agreement
with all parties to the proceeding (which include the Respondent, the Department, and any person
who has filed a timely and sufficient petition for a hearing) and by showing how the substantial
interests of each mediating party are affected by the Consent Order. The agreement must be filed in
(received by) the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard,

14 of 17 OGC File No . 08- 1661
statement clearly identifying the petition for hearing that each party has already filed,
and incorporating it by reference .
(h) The signatures of all parties or their authorized representatives .
As provided in Section 120 . 573 , Florida Statutes , the timely agreement of all parties to
mediate will toll the time limitations imposed by Sections 120 . 569 and 120 . 57 , Florida Statutes , for
requesting and holding an administrative hearing . Unless otherwise agreed by the parties , the
mediation must be concluded within sixty days of the execution of the agreement . If mediation
results in settlement of the administrative dispute , the Department must enter a final order
incorporating the agreement of the parties . Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by
such a modified final decision of the Department have a right to petition for a hearing only in
accordance with the requirements for such petitions set forth above, and must therefore file their
petitions within 21 days of receipt of this notice . If mediation terminates without settlement of the
dispute , the Department shall notify all parties in writing that the administrative hearing processes
under Sections 120 . 569 and 120 . 57 , Florida Statutes , remain available for disposition of the dispute,
and the notice will specify the deadlines that then will apply for challenging the agency action and
electing remedies under those two statutes .

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT
Read these instructions as well as the SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT before completing
the DMR. Hard copies and/or electronic
copies of the required parts of the DMR were provided with the permit. All required information shall be completed in full and typed or printed in
ink. A signed, original DMR shall be mailed to the address printed on the DMR
by the 281h of the month following the monitoring period. The DMR shall not be submitted before the end of the monitoring period.
The DMR consists of three parts--A, B, and D--all of which may or may not be applicable to every facility . Facilities may have one
or more Part A's for reporting effluent or reclaimed water data. All domestic wastewater
facilities will have a Part B for reporting daily sample results . Part D is used for reporting ground water monitoring well data.
When results are not available, the following codes should be used on parts A and D of the DMR and an explanation provided where appropriate. Note:
Codes used on Part B for raw data are different.
CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS
ANC Analysis not conducted. NOD No discharge from/to site.
DRY Dry Well OPS Operations were shutdown so no sample could be taken.
FLD Flood disaster. OTH Other. Please enter an explanation of why monitoring data were not available.
IFS Insufficient flow for sampling. SEF Sampling equipment failure.
LS Lost sample.
MNR Monitoring not re uired this period.
When reporting analyticrl results that fall below a laboratory ' s reported method detection limits or practical quantification limits, the following instructions
should be used:
1 . Results greater than or equal zo the PQL shall be reported as the measured quantity.
2. Results less than the PQL and greater than or equal to the MDL shall be reported as the laboratory's MDL value. These values shall be deemed equal
to the MDL when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter and
when determining compliance with permit limits.
3 . Results less than the MDL shall be reported by entering a less than sign ("<") followed by the laboratory's MDL value, e.g. < 0.001 . A value
of one-half the MDL or one-half the effluent limit, whichever is lower, shall be
used for that sample when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter. Values less than the MDL are considered to demonstrate compliance with
an effluent limitation.
PART A -DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT (DMR)
Part A of the DMR is comprised of one or more sections, each having its own header information. Facility information is preprinted
in the header as well as the monitoring group number, whether the limits and monitoring
requirements are interim or final, and the required submittal frequency (e.g. monthly, annually, quarterly, etc.). Submit Part A based on the required
reporting frequency in the header and the instructions shown in the permit. The
following should be cor:.pleted by ':he permittee or authorized representative:
No Discharge From Ste: Check this box if no discharge occurs and, as a result, there are no data or codes to be entered for all of the parameters
on the DMR for the entire monitoring group number; however, if the monitoring
group includes other monitoring lo ;ations (e.g., influent sampling), the "NOD" code should be used to individually denote those parameters for which
there was no discharge.

DMR (i.e. interim or final) and that the data correspond to the monitoring
group number in the header. Enter the data or calculated results for each parameter on this row in the non-shaded area above the limit. Be sure
the result being entered corresponds to the appropriate statistical base code (e.g.
annual average, monthly average, single sample maximum, etc.) and units.
No. Ex.: Enter the number of sample measurements during the monitoring period that exceeded the permit limit for each parameter in the non-shaded area.
If none, enter zero.
Frequency of Analysis: The shaded areas in this column contain the minimum number of times the measurement is required to be made according to the permit.
Enter the actual number of times the measurement was made in the
space above the shaded area.
Sample Type: The shaded areas in this column contain the type of sample (e.g. grab, composite, continuous) required by the permit. Enter the actual sample
type that was taken in the space above the shaded area.
Signature: This report must be signed in accordance with Rule 62-620.305, F.A.C . Type or print the name and title of the signing official. Include
the telephone number where the official may be reached in the event there are
