With regard to the nitrate primary drinking water standard, <br /> within three (3) months of the date of this Letter of <br /> Commitment, DECATUR shall secure professional assistance of a <br /> registered professional engineer (either from present staff or <br /> an outside consultant) to address its nitrate levels. <br /> il. Within four (4) months of the date of this Letter of <br /> Commitment, evidence that such professional assistance has <br /> been secured shall be submitted to the IEPA's Division of <br /> Public Water Supplies ("DPWS") , at 2200 Churchill Road, <br /> Springfield, IL 62794-9276. <br /> 12 .
