Dear Mr. 8 Mrs. Souza:
On September 9, 1986, an inspection of your property a't (3$1 Oak Street disclosed

surface of the ground or to flow into any gutter, street, roadway,
or public place, nor shall such material discharge onto any
private property.
Under the terms of the State Environmental Codes, you are required to correct
this violation. We ask your cooperation in doing so. You have fourteen (14)
days to correct this problem by repairing the system. You may also request
a hearing, and it is your responsibility to request the same by filing, in
writing, a request within seven (7) days of receipt of this notice to the

Furthermore, you are hereby ordered to abate the nuisance at 351 Oak Street
