    Intragency EPA email from Aaron Setran to David Albright about complaining neighbor to PTP (Linda Tipton). Sent on 9/22/08 at 8:56 a.m. EPA (Aaron Setran) emails the neighbor PTP's permit and explains its new, revised permit. His response discusses the smell from Pine View. Note that her original complaint included a concern about her drinking water, which is pumped from a well across the street from Pine View. Ms. Tipton originally wrote, "I live across the highway from Pineview Estates in Gardnerville, NV. There was an article in the local newspaper back in December 2007 about the EPA fining the developer for violating underground injection control. What is the status of this? Even though we live across the highway, we smell sewage on a daily basis from that site. We are afraid they are not in compliance and we are concerned about the quality of our drinking water (we are on a well). Please respond ASAP. We are very concerned!!!" First email in the chain sent from Linda Tipton at 3:52 p.m. 7/25/08. Some text in the email was redacted by the EPA, which withheld the information under Freedom of Information Act Exemption (b)6 for privacy reasons. Source: EPA FOIA Production, April 2015.

    Hi Dave: Spoke to Ms. Tipton at length on August 12th. Explained eve

    Hi Dave:
    Spoke to Ms. Tipton at length on August 12th. Explained everything that was going on at Pineview, our
    involvement, the penalty and the issuance of the new, revised permit......she will be copied on the draft
    once it goes out for public notice. I also mailed her a hard-copy of the existing permit, as she could not
    open the e-copy I sent her. I haven't heard from her since, but I think she was satisfied w/ my explanation
    of what is going on at the site.
    FYI:
    She lives in a house across the street from the site and, every-once-in-a-while, gets a whiff of the
    lift-station settling tanks which are vented and, essentially, above ground. What can I say other than we
    don't regulate odor.............

    request
    I live across the highway from Pineview Estates in Gardnerville, NV. There
    was an article in the local newspaper back in December 2007 about the EPA
    fining the developer for violating underground injection control. What is the
    status of this? Even though we live across the highway, we smell sewage on a
    daily basis from that site. We are afraid they are not in compliance and we
    are concerned about the quality of our drinking water (we are on a well).
    Please respond ASAP. We are very concerned!!!
