Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION & INTENT TO ISSUE CIVIL PENALTY
Tracking No.: NOV-2019-LM-0094
W WTP Permit No. WQ0033770
Carolina Plantation WWTP
Onslow County
Dear Ms. Sanchez -King:
Old North State Water Company appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Notice of
Violation issued on December 2, 2019 by the Division of Environmental Quality. The Notice of
Violation was issued related to Limit and Monitoring violations.
The Total Residual Chlorine, PH, Fecal, BOD, Total Nitrogen and the Total Phosphorus were
mistakenly omitted from the August NDMR. The lab failed to send the last weeks lab results
which the operator and myself failed to catch since it was in the fifth week of the month.
The report has been amended, emailed and attached to this response.
We feel that a civil penalty would not be prudent as we have acted in a responsible manner to
address these issues and bring the facility into compliance. Therefore, we request that the
Division considers these efforts when deciding on further enforcement.
Old North Water Company strives for excellence and has always welcomed open
communication with NC DWR Staff to ensure compliance with any permit and we continue to
be concerned about the issuance of NOV's that could have been avoided through open
communication. If Old North State Water Company can be of any further assistance or
additional information is needed, please contact me at 252-235-4900.

Sincerely,
Michael J. Myers
Old North State Water Company

A Notice of Violation/Intent to Issue Civil Penalty is being issued for the noted violation of North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and the facility's Non -discharge Permit. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of
not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who violates or
fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S.
143-215.1.
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violation, request technical assistance, or
discuss overall compliance please respond in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of this Notice. A
review of your response will be considered along with any information provided on the submitted Monitoring
Report(s). You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no
response is received in this Office within the 30-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be
prepared.
Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems,
and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by
Consent.
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Helen Perez of the
Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7215.
Sincerely,
