Dear Mr. Huntley:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $703.62 ($600.00 civil penalty +
$103.62 enforcement costs) against Stones Throw Homeowners Association.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) submitted by Stones Throw Homeowners Association for the month of February 2017. This review has shown the
subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit
No. NC0070289. The violations, which occurred in February 2017, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Stones Throw Homeowners Association violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO070289 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner and extent
shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be
assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the Secretary
of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, W. Corey Basinger,
Regional Supervisor, Mooresville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Stones Throw
Homeowners Association:
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources
610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301, Mooresville, NC 28115

100.00 1 of the 1 violations of 143-215.1(a)(6) and Permit No.NC0070289, by discharging waste water into

$600.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
103.62 Enforcement Costs
703.62 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

I
Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirly (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request.'
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3• File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:_

Dear Mr. Huntley:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $453.62 ($350.00 civil penalty +

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) submitted by Stones Throw Homeowners Association for the month of July 2017. This review has shown the
subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Stones Throw Homeowners Association violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO070289 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent
shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be
assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the Secretary
of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, W. Corey Basinger,
Regional Supervisor, Mooresville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Stones Throw

Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee. on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for

MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper -based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
• Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently
reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting
in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016,
electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary.
Phase 2 —Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the
second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports.
Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits
The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic
reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the
electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES
permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically
report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system.
In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees
to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9)]. Initial
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources
1617 Mail Scrvkc Ccnter I Raleigh, Nurtli Carolina 27699-1617

recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the
entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically
submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July
18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial
recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or
determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission.
NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups:
1. Discharge Monitoring Reports;
2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOls); Notices of Termination (NOTs)];
3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and
4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports
EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic
submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting
tool will be available as well.

SUMMARY OF REMISSION FACTORS FOR ASSESSING CIVIL PENALTIES
Case Number: LR-2016-0001
Region: Mooresville
County:
Stones Throw Homeowners Association of Cabarrus
Assessed Entity: County —Ridgewood Farms at Stones Throw WWTP Permit No.:
Assessment Factors
Cabarrus
NCO070289
® (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the detriment of the
petitioner:
Permittee: Asserted that the civil penalty was wrongfully assessed due to the fact that the permit holder had
changed on June 1st, 2015.and we were not aware there had been a violation of this type until this notice.
DWR Notes: The assessment was for a late November 2015 DMR, which was missing at the time of the penalty
assessment. The Stones Throw Homeowners Association of Cabarrus (the HOA) received a NOV for a late
December 2014 on March 9, 2015. Civil penalties are assessed if the permittee has a late or missing DMR within
the next 12 months. Although the HOA elected board (permit affiliations) has changed, Stones Throw
Homeowners Association of Cabarrus (the HOA) is the permittee.
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation:
Permittee: Asserted that the permit holder has changed facility ORC's and at no time was the facility or the
environment in danger, all permit required visits to this facility were maintained during this transition period. All
treatment chemicals were used, compliance samples were contracted and tested according to permit.
DWR Notes: There is not a record on file with the Division designating Dusty Metreyeon as ORC for the subject
permit. This assessment factor is not applicable because the violation was for a late/missing DMR and would not
have resulted in environmental damage.
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
Permittee: During the switch form permittee holders and then with facility ORC's has led to a gap in the flow of
information and for that the HOA apologizes for as a new organization. The HOA was inundated with a lot of new
regulation and is taking steps to insure that this is avoided in the future.
DWR Notes: The permittee has not change regardless of affiliation changes. The assessment factor is not
applicable because it pertains to non -submittal of required information.
® (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
Permittee: The HOA asserts they have not had any fines or penalties since taking over the facility on June 1, 2015.
DWR Notes: Stones Throw Homeowners Association of Cabarrus was the permittee before June 1, 2015, only
permittee affiliations have changed. The HOA was assessed a civil penalty (LV-2015-0144 ) on 09/29/15.
® (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions:
Permittee: Asserts that since taking over the facility the HOA has taken on numerous projects to improve the
water/wastewater/collection and distribution systems and as we are a small HOA, funds diverted from the budget
would result in the HOA having to wait until much later to continue with these upgrades.
DWR Notes: The factor is not applicable because it pertains to non -submittal. of required information. The DMR
was received on April 1, 2016.

DWR Case Number LR-2016-0001
REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because
no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.nebar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2) for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also, be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the Committee
is informed that a potential violation of the statute concerning the authorized practice of law has occurred.

Assessed Entity: Ridgewood Farms at Stones Throw HOA WWTP Permit No.:
Assessment Factors
Cabarrus
NCO070289
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner: NOT ASSERTED — Not Applicable.
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation: The permittee asserts the violation was due to failure of aeration pumps, which the ORC discovered
during routine inspection. The problem was immediately corrected. The HOA (permittee) attached an invoice for
repair of these pumps in the amount of $817.88 dated July 14, 2015. The HOA has been working with a
contractor to identify problems with the WWTP. They requested in writing on October 6, 2015 technical
assistance from the Division and they also requested a discussion regarding overall compliance.
DWR Notes: The monthly average ammonia violation for this enforcement was for April 2014 and not July
2015. The permittee attached the July 2015 DMR and an invoice for pump repair from July 2015. The invoice
provides information that the facility was in disrepair in July 2015, but does not give support to the April 2014
monthly violation being promptly abated at that time as a migrating factor for remission.
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident: The HOA (permittee) asserts that
since these violations are due to the condition of the facilities inherited from the previous HOA board that it was
inadvertent. The system is very old and was not maintained by the previous HOA. The new HOA was set up in
April 2014. The violation resulted from failure of the aeration pumps that were repaired in July 2015.
DWR Notes: The Permittee does notprovide any explanation that the April 2014 violation was inadvertent or a
result of an accident. The new HOA board took over in April 2014. The condition of the facility required an
aeration pump repair in July 2015. The timeline given by the permittee does notprovide any mitigating factors
in support of remission.
® (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations: The HOA
asserts that they have recently received penalties for violations that were prior to their being elected to the board
on April 2, 2014 and that paying these penalties has already exhausted the savings for maintaining the WWTP.
DWR Notes: The permittee has paid $396.97 for the same monthly ammonia violation for May 2014. The last
violation was assessed before April 2014 was in May 2010. The two most recent penalties occurred at the time
the new HOA board took over responsibility in April 2014.
0 (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions: The permittee asserts that they are paying debt in the amount of $14,000 that occurred during the term of
the previous HOA board and are struggling to budget routine maintenance. This fine further complicates their
situation. They are attempting to budget to facilitate repair and/or replacement of degraded equipment. The
HOA has been working with a contractor to assess problems with the WWTP. This facility has had very little
upkeep and needs repair beyond the monetary capability of the community represented by the HOA. They are
facing several thousand in repairs for the sewer and water systems.
DWR Notes: The permittee assertion that the civil penalty will prevent payment of debt is a mitigating factor in
support of remission.

REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because
no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of
this letter.

proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible.

This letter is an attempt to get a fine, remitted case number LV-2015-0144.
A new home owner's board was set up in April 0214, previously the board for the HOA
was FW Huntly, and two of his employees. Due to the condition of the utilities and and
community, through the actions of an Attorney, a new board was elected and installed,
we inherited a very old and unmaintained water and sewer system. I understand this
remission should have been presented earlier, but due to the new board had
communication problems, and it just recently came to my attention. The original was sent
to Julia Zeledon and not the association board..
This fine was due to the aeriation pumps going down, the ORC discovered this on a
routine visit and immediately corrected the problem, I am enclosing the documentation
for the situation.
We are struggling to pay the debts, which we were not aware of in the amount of over
14,000.00 and the routine upkeep and repairs on the both the systems', and are juggling
accounts to pay the monthly bills. This fine further complicates our situation, we are
facing several thousand in repairs to the sewer system and also the water system.
All previous violations and issues have been dealt with the states satisfaction,
We are doing everything we can to keep these systems up and operating to standards.
I respectfully request that you consider, this request, even though past the deadline and
remit this fine.

Secretary
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$393.85 ($250 civil penalty + $143.85 enforcement costs) against Stones Throw Homeowners
Association of Cabarrus Co. (Stones Throw HOA).
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self -
monitoring data reported for April 2014. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation
of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0070289. The violations are summarized

Subject: Notice of Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
The Stones Throw Homeowners Association (HOA) Board of Directors is providing the following
information in response to your notice of violation NOV-2015-LV-0616:
1. We have recently had a transfer of responsibility for the HOA and are in the process of
assessing all the needs of the community and how to provide for those needs.
2. We have been working with a contractor to identify the problems with the Ridgewood.Farms
WWTP and have learned that this facility has had very little upkeep and needs work beyond the
monetary capability of this community.
3. We were attempting to save enough over time to facilitate repair and/or replacement of
degraded equipment.
4. We have recently received penalties for violations that were prior to our being elected to the
board and paying those penaiities has already exhausted the savings for maintaining the WWTP.
Since we are an HOA, and do not presume to be a WWTP professional utility, and we represent
a community of meager means we do request and would welcome your technical assistance
and would appreciate a meaningfur discussion regarding overall compliance.
We look forward to working with you to protect our environment.

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$393.85 ($250 civil penalty + $143.85 enforcement costs) against Stones Throw Homeowners
Association of Cabarrus Co. (Stones Throw HOA).
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self -
monitoring data reported for April 2014. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation
of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0070289. The violations are summarized
in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Stones Throw HOA violated the

Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty may
be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the
Division of Water Resources, I, Michael L. Parker, Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region,
hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Stones Throw HOA:

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do

continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:

Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy
of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that no factual or
legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the
civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed
"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of
Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in

referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.

Cabarrus County
A review of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) database which tracks the monthly
submittal of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) revealed that the November 2015 Discharge
Monitoring Report (DMR) has not been filed with the Division within the thirty (30) day reporting
period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES
permit.
A Notice of Violation (NOV-2015-LR-0015) was sent to you for failure to submit the
December 2014 DMR no later than the thirtieth (30") day following the reporting period. This
notice was received by you on March 19, 2015. Within said Notice, you were informed that future
reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement actions.
This Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV/NRE) is being
issued for the missing November 2015 DMR. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of
law that Stones Throw Homeowners Association - Ridgewood Farms Subdivision violated or failed
to act in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO070289 and G.S. 143-215.65. A
civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to
file, submit, or make available any documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The
State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S.
143-282.1(b) (8).
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violations and prevent further
action, please respond. in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice. As of the date of this
document, DWR has not received the November 2015 DMR. Please ensure that the missing
Discharge Monitoring Reports are sent in to the Division. A review of your response will be
considered and you will be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding these
violations. If no response is received in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty may
be assessed.

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$396.97 ($250 civil penalty + $146.97 enforcement costs) against the Stones Throw Homeowners
Association of Cabarrus Co. (Stones Throw HOA).
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self -
monitoring data reported for May 2014. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation

in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Stones Throw HOA violated
the terms, conditions, or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO070289 and North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty may
be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director
of the Division of Water Resources, I, Michael L. Parker, Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville
Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Stones Throw HOA:

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. I (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy
of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that no factual or
legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the
civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed
"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Subject: RE: Late DMR/EDMR submittals
MW (Metwater,lnc) has never been associated with a violation/defenciency of this nature and therefore I
respectfully ask that no civil penalties be levied and extension be granted to comply.
We recently discussed the late submitting of DMR's/EDMR's. As I informed you and Mr. Hennessee earlier last
week our tardiness stems from an internal challenge to compensate for a diminished office staff. I have
reprioritized and instituted a more self reliable means of collecting and transposing data for the timely
submittal of the required DMR's/ EDMR's. I apologize for any inconvenience late reporting has caused your
office.
Moreover, I respectfully request an extension be granted to comply with the EDMR requirement. I would like
at least til May 30th as all these clients have to be reached on site and they in return will have to reach
superiors off site, and get back to me. Only then can I execute the required paperwork. Please confirm a date
for extended compliance.
February's "paper" DMR's for all of MW contract facilities are in the mail and on time.

Wes,
Although your report did not require response, I just wanted you to know ... and of course brag a little.:)
See attached pic of new flow meter ... the other one couldn't be calibrated and was reading crazy. They didn't
have the $ for it, do I bought it and are renting it to them.
I replaced one diffuser and pulled and cleaned another near the area of that dead spot we seen in the AB.
I called Gopher about the blower check valve and to be honest I'm getting impatient.
Also I cleaned and shortened the sample tubing.
Thanks for you support.

The low dissolved oxygen levels reported in March 2013 mark the 10th month for which low concentrations
have been reported; levels have been low since an operator change in June 2012. Prior discussions between
the current Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and wastewater inspection staff in this office indicated that
steps (trial implementation of post -aeration) were being taken to increase the dissolved oxygen in the effluent to
meet the permit requirements.
Therefore, it was requested that a written response to this Notice be submitted by no later than July 31,
2013, detailing what steps will be taken to comply with the minimum dissolved oxygen levels in the Ridgewood
Farms WWTP effluent. (A response request in NOV-2013-LV-0337 [issued June 3, 2013] went unanswered). If
you are not aware, the Division has staff that can provide technical assistance to wastewater treatment plant
permittees and their staff. If you would like assistance regarding the low dissolved oxygen issue please contact
Barbara Sifford of this office. If you have questions concerning this matter or to request technical assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact staff in this office at [phone].

FEB 18 2013
MOORESVtLLE REGi0i4AL OFFICE
This is to inform you that the Division of Water Quality has not received your discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) for April and May 2012. Water quality regulations require that monthly monitoring reports shall be
filed no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Failure to submit
reports as required will subject the violator to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $25,000. per violation.
To prevent further action, please submit the reports to the Division's Central Files office at the letterhead
address within 15 days or notify this office as to any problem preventing their timely receipt. You will be
considered noncompliant with the self -monitoring requirements of your NPDES permit until the reports have
been submitted. Additional action, including the assessment of civil penalties, may be taken if the reports are
not submitted within the time frame specified above.
This letter additionally provides notice that this office will recommend the assessment of civil penalties if future
reports are not received within the required time frame during the next twelve (12) reporting months. The
Division must take these steps because timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is essential to the
efficient operation of our water quality programs. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any
questions about this letter or discharge monitoring reports, please contact Bob Sledge at [phone] or via
e-mail at [e-mail].

Unless Charles would have objection, I'm thinking I can change the language on the limits and monitoring page of the
permit and send it to the permittee as a "correction." We can do this at any time. It would clarify the matter with no
change made to the permit in BIMS.

Bob and Charles,
Thanks for your thoughts on the Ridgewood permit. Can you place a note in the file to alert the next permit
writer of the need to clarify/standardize the DO requirements? I'll place something in our file so we ensure we
review the draft permit more closely at permit renewal.
Thanks,

The DO limit in BIMS is a daily minimum. If their DIVIR data shows DO values below 5, the NOV is valid.

Hi Marcia,
1

think things are close to being ok where they currently are. The D.O. limit is the only one I recall that has been
typically, explicitly, described as being related to a daily average value (although I believe other daily limited parameters
could reported as an average). BIMS looks to be set up correctly. The permit probably should be clarified since the ORC
has asked the question, with the word "daily" being added to the footnote.
If he reported daily D.O. values <5.0 mg/L during July, the NOV is warranted.
What do you think, Charles?

Subject: Question regarding DO limit in NCO070289 - Ridgewood Farms
Gentlemen,
An issue has come up with one of the permits in our region that was written by Bob Guerra and I need some
guidance on how to proceed. So when you have a minute could you look at the attached files and also the
limits page from BIMS pasted below?
History:
• BIMS flagged the permittee for not meeting the daily minimum DO limit of 5.0 mg/L on five different
occasions in July 2012 (see attached.
• Since the daily minimum DO limit of 5.0 mg/L is pretty standard across permits in our region, I did not
look closely at the permit and issued an NOV (see attached) for not meeting the permit limit.
• However, we received a response from the ORC wanting clarification on the weekly average DO limit
that is noted in his permit (huh?). This means BIMS is programmed incorrectly for the permit written;
however, the permit written is not in line with our standard conditions.
What now?:
Should we rescind the NOV, change BIMS, and reissue it was a weekly average?
Should we fix the permit and send minor mod stating it is now in line with our standard conditions
I have additional August DO violations that have been flagged so I'll need resolution before I can move
ahead on those
Thanks for time and let me know what you think is the best path forward,
Marcia

From: Dusty Metreyeon, Metwater Inc. (sub -contract ORC)
Subject: Supplement to September 2012 Effluent Monitoring Report for NPDES #
NCO070289 Ridgewood Farms WWTP Effluent Non -Compliance; Dissolved
Oxygen, Effluent
Date: 10-30-12
This memo is intended to address the October 23, 2012 Notice of Violation for not meeting the
"average dissolved oxygen effluent concentration of not less than 5.0 mg/1", for the above
referenced facility.
Metwater, Inc. became ORC for this facility on June 1, 2012 and can not explain why the former
ORC had not addressed this problem before. Since our first day on site, the plant has had
difficulty achieving, much less sustaining, a 5.0 mg/1 in the effluent. At first, I thought the low
D.O. was due to heavy sludge accumulation in the contact chamber and the demand those solids
had on the clarified effluent. However, the contact chamber has been cleaned and therefore is no
longer a plausible explanation for the low D.O.
For clarification, please explain what "average D.O." means? I assume average for the month,
however the NOV reads.... (Daily Minimum). Is each day a violation or would it be one
violation for the month? Or something else?
As ORC, I have clear debris from diffusers as best I can without removing them and have
communicated to the owner's representative, that, all diffusers need to be removed, cleaned or
otherwise replaced. During the summer, I even ran both blowers in an attempt to get the effluent
D.O. up but only succeeded in doubling the owner's power bill and causing a financial hardship
on the residents, as the HOA passed the extra cost on to them.
The only thing I know to do is communicate with the owner's again and advise them that the
diffusers in the aeration basin need immediate attention.
Metwater will continue to operate this facility to the best of our abilities.

Subject: Dusty Metryeon Dissolved Oxygen at Ridgewood Farm MHP
Gary — I took a look at the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) data in question and I think I have found an explanation of the
unusually high stream DO values. Dusty has been recording the percent saturation when calibrating his meter daily.
Generally this hovers right around 100%, which makes sense. However, for about a week prior to the unusually high DO
results, the percent saturation crept up to a high of 117% saturation on July 6, which was the day in question. Dusty
maintains a log of meter maintenance, which shows that the membrane was changed on July 13, prior to the next
sampling. The percent saturation then went back down to around 100% like usual. I briefly reviewed the calibration log
and did not see any other times where the percent saturation went up like this.

Phink that there was a problem with the membrane which caused these unusually high results. I think that since the
eter "thought" it was being calibrated in a supersaturated environment, any readings performed in a DO saturated
sample would also read as being supersaturated. This would mean that probably all readings during the week or so that
this was going on were high.
I looked through the meters instruction manual, but it did not give any guidance for the acceptance criterion of the
percent saturation at calibration. Dusty and I discussed calibrations and paying attention to changes like this. Any
changes may indicate a problem. After reviewing the calibration records, it appeared that once the percent saturation
went above 105% it continued to creep up higher. It occasionally would go slightly over 100%, but usually dropped back
down. Dusty agreed to a limit of 105% saturation during calibration. If the percent saturation goes over 105%, DO probe
maintenance will be performed.

Cabarrus County, NC
Dear Mr. Huntley:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A review of the September 2011 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) revealed a reporting deficiency,
which resulted in your permit being flagged for a monitoring violation of temperature in the Division of
Water Quality's compliance database as noted in the attached document. The following deficiency was
found on the subject DMR that resulted in the flagged violations; holidays not clearly marked.
To prevent the generation of monitoring violations, the permittee or their designee (ORC) must enter the
letter "H" in each parameter block (that was not sampled) on a date designated as "holiday time" by the
permittee. "Holiday" may also be written across multiple parameter blocks if more than one parameter had
reduced monitoring or if more than one day was included in the holiday celebration. Designating "H" or
"Holiday" allows the Division's data entry staff to correctly code the holiday and trigger the Division's
compliance database to calculate a reduced number of monitoring requirements during this abbreviated
monitoring week.
The submission of an amended DMR is required to address the noted monitoring deficiencies during
the week ending September 10, 2011. Please submit two copies of your amended September 2011
Discharge Monitoring Report. Send the amended DMRs to Central Files, Division of Water Quality, 1617

Record Keeping
Comment: The records reviewed during the inspection were organized and well
maintained. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period April
2010 through March 2011. Monthly average effluent ammonia violations were reported
in May 2010 and June 2010 and a daily maximum effluent fecal coliform violation was
reported in January 2011. The Division has separately addressed these limit violations
through the issuances of either an NOV or NOV/civil penalty assessment.
No upstream and downstream dissolved oxygen and temperature results were reported
for the week of 11121/2010; however, the inspecton verified that these samples had
been collected and analyzed on 11/21/2010 and not transcribed onto the DMR.

Comment: The last twenty foot section of pipe used to waste sludge into the digester
appeared severely rusted and deteriorated. In addition, the metal wall that separates
the aeration basin from the digester appeared severely rusted and deteriorated with
small holes being visible. This metal wall was also observed bowing outward due to
both the pressure being exerted by the contents in the aeration basin and the
deteriorated state of the metal structure. The permittee should incorporate the
appropriate corrective actions to prevent the structural failure of this metal divider wall.

Case No. LV-2010-0258
Dear Mr. Huntley:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$333.71 ($250.00 civil penalty + $83.71 enforcement costs) against F. Wayne Huntley.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self -
monitoring data reported for May 2010. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation
of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0070289. The violations are summarized
in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that F. Wayne Huntley violated the
terms, conditions, or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO070289 and North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty may
be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director
of the Division of Water Quality, I, Robert B. Krebs, Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor
for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against F. Wyane

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
�i t]
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy
of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a

remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that no factual or
legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the
civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed
"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a
petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of
Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in
the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.,
except for official state holidays. The petition may be filed by facsimile (fax) or electronic mail by an
attached file (with restrictions) - provided the signed original, one (1) copy and a filing fee (if a filing

fee is required by NCGS § 15013-23.2) is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings within
seven (7) business days following the faxed or electronic transmission. You should contact the
Office of Administrative Hearings with all questions regarding the filing fee and/or the details of the
filing process. The mailing address and telephone and fax numbers for the Office of Administrative
Hearings are as follows:

DENR .
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the
review period of this assessment. 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 about this civil penalty
assessment or a Special Order by Consent please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the

JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
DWQ Case Number: LV-2010-0258
Assessed Party: F. Wayne Huntley
County: Cabarrus
Permit Number: NC0070289
Amount Assessed: $333.71
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"ReAuest For Remission. Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts"
form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe
support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for
remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.0 G S 143B-282 1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
_ (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

County:
Cabarrus
Case Number:
LV-2010-0258
Permit Number:
NC0070289
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
No harm has been documented to the environment. Wastes containing ammonia -nitrogen introduced
to surface waters can result in lowered concentrations of oxygen to aquatic organisms as the wastes
are broken down.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The ammonia -nitrogen monthly average permit limit was exceeded by 64.5% during May 2010,
although the daily maximum ammonia -nitrogen permit limit was not exceeded on any of the sampling
dates (ranged from 4.3 mg/L to 13.0 mg/L).
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
There are no documented impacts to groundwater or air quality and none are expected. A decrease
in instream dissolved oxygen could be expected since ammonia -nitrogen is an oxygen -consuming
waste (instream toxicant) and therefore increased concentrations can reduce the amount of oxygen
available to aquatic organisms.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown but would be equivalent to the cost to fix the problems noted on the DMR with
the diffused air in the aeration basin.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved by noncompliance is unknown. Permittee notes that the ammonia -
nitrogen violation was "caused by air leaks in the header line. Work is in progress to remedy this
problem."
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The Division of Water Quality has no evidence that the violations were committed willfully or
intentionally.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There have been three prior CPAs for the Ridgewood Farms Subdivision WWTP during the life of the
permit with no CPAs issued in the past twelve months.

Comment: The records were organized and well maintained. Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period April 08 through March 09. A monthly
average effluent ammonia violation was reported for October 08. The Division has
previously addressed this iimit vioiation by 'the issuance of an NOV. The rnorAmy
average calculations and the maximum/minimum values were not reported on the
March 09 DMR. The ORC must ensure all "<" values are properly calculated to
determine the monthly average values (fecal coliform) and all effluent collection/analysis

Dear Mr. Krebs,
r
Response to your letter dated June 9, 2009.
Operation and Maintenance:
The access road was scraped 6/22/09 to lay gravel this week.
Aeration Basins:
Gopher Utilities has been notified to replace the corroded section of
air header pipe. Maintenance will do a routine cleaning of the diffusers.
Disinfection -Tablet:
The chlorine contact chamber has been cleaned out.
Pump Station Influent:
I have discussed with the park management about installing some step
at the pump station.
We are going to shorten the pumping time ( adjust float switches ). If there
is still too much of a surge on the plant we will try to use the splitter box.
Aerobic Digester:
The digester will be pumped out this week and hopefully the diffuser
will be reinstalled.
Please call me if you have any questions.

On August 27, 2008 the wastewater treatment plant lost some solids from the
aeration basin that went on the ground at the side of the plant. I do not believe any of these
reached the creek. This occurred due to 8-10 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. A Vac truck
will be called in to do any necessary clean-up.
Please call me if you have any questions.
I notified Mr. Leslie of the situation August 27, 2008.

The subject permit's expiration date is November 30, 2008. Federal [40 CFR 122] and state (15A
NCAC 2H.0105 (e)) regulations require that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior
to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package should have been
sent to the Division postmarked no later than June 3, 2008.
As of this date, the Division has not received your renewal application. This is a violation of Part Il.
B. 10. of your permit, which states "Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to
expiration... will subject the permittee to enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6 and 33
USC 1251 et. seq.". To prevent an assessment of civil penalties you must submit a completed
permit application (see enclosed forms) no later than July 3, 2008.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge from your facility has ceased
and you wish to rescind this permit [or if you have any questions] please contact Charles H. Weaver of my
staff. His telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.

Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on November 30, 2008. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina
(15A NCAC 2H.0105 (e)) regulations state that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days
prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you
may disregard this notice.
Your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than June 3, 2008. Failure
to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger penalties may be assessed
depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after November 30, 2008, the current permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact
me at the telephone number or address listed below.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me at the

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
All treatment units appeared to be operating properly, and the surrounding grounds were well maintained.
The ORC reported that there was some leaking from the air distribution system. Please insure the proper
operation of this system. A process control program consists of DO, MLSS, pH, and settleability tests.
Sludge wasting is based on settleability tests. The ORC was very knowledgeable of the treatment
processes and equipment used at the facility.
The collection system consists of one lift station which is equipped with audible and visual alarms. The
visual alarm was not functional on the day of the inspection. The ORC stated he inspects the lift
station five days a week and has advised maintenance personnel that the lift station should be inspected
on the weekends, but there was no documentation available that this is being done. Please be advised
that pump stations without telemetry are to be inspected every day in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0227.
LABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Certification #402) in Charlotte, N.C. has been contracted (via Test America,
Inc.) to provide analytical support. The ORC has been issued a laboratory certification (#5032) to
perform on -site field analysis. Please refer to the report by Mr. Chet Whiting of the Division's
Laboratory Certification Unit concerning the ORC's laboratory practices.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear with no suspended solids and no foam. The facility discharges into Caldwell
Creek, which is a Class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear
to be negatively impacted. The outfall location was accessible.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period May 2002 through April 2003. No limit violations
were reported. The ORC signature was not present on the self -monitoring reports for January 2003 and
February 2003. All monitoring frequencies and sample locations appeared correct.
Composite samples are collected flow proportionately. The ORC must ensure that the preset gallon
interval between the collection of samples does not exceed 1/24 of the expected flow.
FLOW MEASUREMENT
Effluent flow is measured continuously by a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip chart
recording. B. W. ALLEN of Charlotte, N.C, annually calibrates the flow meter. The flow meter was last
calibrated on 2/26/03.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL
Sludge is removed by Liquid Waste, Inc. of Charlotte, N.C. and disposed at either an approved land
application site in Wadesboro, N.C. or a CMU WWTP.

8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Flat to moderate slopes. Mr. Huntley
stated that when the WWTP was constructed the treatment facilities were at a sufficient
elevation to protect them from a 100 year flood. However, the WWTP flooded during
tropical depression Danny in 1997. During the flood, the bio-mass was released into the
flood waters, the system components were submerged, and the chlorinator and associated
chlorine tablets were washed away. Mr. Huntley stated that flood plain boundaries had
been modified along other portions of Caldwell Creek after the storm, but Mr. Huntley
does not think the boundaries on the WWTP site were modified.
9. Location of Nearest Dwelling: There is a mobile home within 150 feet of the WWTP.
10. Receiving Stream or Affected Surface Waters: Caldwell Creek
a. Classification: C
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin 03-0,7-11
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The receiving
stream is 6-8 feet wide and 4-8 inches deep. The substrate is a rocky/sandy
material. The 7Q10 and 30Q2 stream flows are reported to be 0.72 cfs and 2 cfs,
respectively. The effluent and the stream appeared to be clear and in good
condition at the time of the site inspection.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS
1. a. Volume of Wastewater (Actual Flow from DMRs): 0.020 MGD
b. What is the current permitted capacity: 0.050 MGD with provisions for

C. Current design capacity: 0.050 MGD
d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the
previous two years: No ATCs or modifications to the WWTP in last two years.
e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing
WWT facility is an extended aeration package plant which consists of an influent
pump station, bar screen, aeration basin with diffused air, clarifier with sludge
return, chlorine contact chamber with tablet chlorination, continuous flow
recording device and an aerobic sludge digester.
f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: No modifications are proposed.
g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine is added to the waste stream.
Mr. James Allison (ORC) indicated that the system could be readily upgraded to

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Part III paragraph E. of the existing permit states the following: "The Permittee shall
conduct an Engineering Alternatives Analysis to evaluate all alternatives to surface water
discharge. This evaluation should specifically include an evaluation of the cost to connect to a
regional sewer system. This evaluation must be submitted along with the permit renewal
application no later than 180 days prior to expiration of this permit." The permit is scheduled to
expire at midnight on September 30, 1999, which made the due date for the subject analysis
March 15, 1999. When Charley Schwartz contacted Mr. Wayne Huntley on April 20, 1999, Mr.
Huntley stated that he had not initiated the analysis. During the site visit on April 22, 1999, Mr.
Huntley indicated that sewer activities were scheduled for the area in the future; however, Mr.
Huntley was not aware of the specific areas to be served or the planned construction dates.
Mr. Schwartz contacted the Cabarrus County Water & Sewer Authority (CCWSA) to

Ridgewood Farms Subdivision MRO Staff Report — (NPDES Permit Renewal) Page 4 of 4
ascertain the present status of sewer activities in the vicinity of the Ridgewood Farms
Subdivision. Mr. Mark Fowler with the CCWSA indicated that the Caldwell Creek Interceptor
sewer project had been approved and is under design. The exact area to be served by the
interceptor has yet to be determined (funding issues remain), but CCSWA is under a time
constraint to complete construction by July of 2000. Mr. Fowler stated that at present, the
interceptor would stop 1,000 to 2,000 feet shy of the Ridgewood Farms Subdivision. However,
Mr. Fowler indicated that the sewer interceptor might be extended if additional funds can be
obtained.
Prior to renewal of the existing permit, the permittee must prepare and submit the
Engineering Alternatives Analysis required under Part III of the permit. The possibility exists to
connect to a regional sewer system; however the cost and feasibility to do so have not been
adequately addressed at this time. On May 3, 1999, a NOV was issued by this Office to the
permittee requesting that the subject analysis be submitted to the Division.
The existing permit presents discharge limits at flows of 0.05 and 0.09 MGD. The
WWTP is a 0.050 package plant and the flow to the plant is presently 0.02 MGD. Mr. Huntley is
upgrading the mobile homes within the subdivision from single wide to double wide units.
While this may increase the flow to the plant somewhat, there should remain ample treatment
capacity to preclude expansion of the plant. However, Mr. Huntley would like the provision for
expansion to 0.09 MGD to remain in the permit due to a long standing contract between Mr.
Huntley and a neighboring land owner. The contract requires the plant to receive wastewater .
flow from any future development on the neighboring property.
During the site visit, Mr. Huntley stated that the facility was constructed such that it
would be protected from 100 year flood events. In 1997 the WWTP was flooded during Tropical
Depression Danny (See attached letter dated 7/25/97 from Culligan operating services). Mr.
Huntley stated that flood plain boundaries had been modified along other portions of Caldwell
Creek after the storm, but Mr. Huntley does not think the flood plain boundaries on the WWTP
site were modified. The permit should specifically state that the permittee should take
precautions to ensure that the WWTP is protected from 100 year flood events.
Prior to renewing the existing permit, the permittee must submit the Engineering
Alternatives Analysis. If connection to a regional sewer system is determined to be cost
prohibitive or otherwise infeasible, this Office recommends reissuing the subject permit.

Submergence of Facility by Food -waters
Dear Mr, Bridgemaw
no ORC, Mr. Gleam Curran, informed your office on July 23, 1997 of the extreme
calditims that led to the submergence of the Ridgewood Farms WWTP by flooding of the
receiving stream due to the heavy rains in the area Tropical Depression Danny caused extensive
flooding in the area during the early morning hours of July 23
Mr. Current met with the Ridgewood Farms mechanic on July 24, 1997 and waters had
receded enough to access some equipment on the facility. It was found that the blowers would
start, and immediate plans for cleaning them up and changing out the oil was made. This would
restore air service to the aeration tank, digester, and RAS pump(s).
Further evaluation as to the possible deposition of mud and silt in the treatment tanks Is
pending, but will be carved out immediately. The biomass is probably completely lost and will bn
allowed to recover naturally. Possible seeding of the facility may be}tecessary, if remvery doca
not move fast enough,
The chemicals stored on site- tablet chlorine and tablet dechlor4ator--were swept away in
the flood. Security fencing was bent over from the forts of the water and the debris being moved
by the flood. Treatment chemicals are being replaced and the facility will soon be fully
operational,
Should the facility not be in basic operation today, further communication ou this matter
will be forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Stcvm Lambert, Culligan Operating Services

Subject: NPDES Permit ReAtwdlApplication
Permit NCO070289
Ridgewood Farms Subdivision WWTP
Cabarrus County
Dear Mr. Huntley:
The Division received your permit renewal application on March 25, 1999. Thank you for
submitting this package in a timely fashion.
The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff.
That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit
renewal. I regret to inform you that we have lost several staff members in the past few months,
leaving the NPDES Unit with four vacant positions. This staff shortage is causing delays in our
processing of permit renewals. Our remaining staff are currently reviewing Authorizations to
Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan reviews ahead of
permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in
the statutes that govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NCO070289, the existing requirements in your
permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or other action is taken by the Division).
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we operate with diminished resources. If
you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the subject permit, please contact me at
[phone], extension 511.
Sincerely,
V v//

Re: Ridgewood Farms
NPDES Permit Number NCO070289
Dear Mr. Weaver:
The following is in reference to your request for a narrative
description of the sludge management plan for the subject wastewater
treatment facility.
There are no sludge handling treatment units on -site, or is the
sludge discharge to the receiving waters.
Liquid Waste, Inc. contracts the pumping of excess solids as
indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The
Operator in Responsible Charge or on -site operator makes this assess-
ment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the
recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge
system. The contract hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local
municipality which accepts such or to another wastewater treatment plant
which has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding.
Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal
of sludge for this facility, please contact James D. Allison, Operator
in responsible Charge, [phone].
Sincerely yours,
F. W. Huntley

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO070289
Ridgewood Farms Subdivision
Cabarrus County
Your NPDES permit expires on November 30, 2003. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current
permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than June 3, 2003.
Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after November 30, 2003, the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of
wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted discharges of wastewater
may result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional

The facility was last inspected by Wes Bell of this office on June 14, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.05 MGD wastewater treatment
facility consisting of an influent pump station, bar screen, aeration basin with diffused air, clarifier,
aerobic sludge digester, tablet chlorination, chlorine contact chamber, and continuous flow recorder.
The permit for this facility became effective 6/1/00 and expires on 11/30/03.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
The Operator -in -Responsible Charge(ORC)/daily operation and maintenance log, process
control data, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. The ORC indicated that
the aeration dissolved oxygen (DO) readings and pH analyses were not always documented. All
process control data must be documented as required by the North Carolina Administrative Code
(NCAC) 2B .0506(c)(3) and the NPDES Permit. In addition, the lift station visitations and all
associated maintenance activities were not documented as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0227(7).
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The check valve for the backup blower was not operating properly (noted in previous
inspection - 6/14/01). In addition, several diffusers were not operating properly. The ORC indicated
that a new check valve has been ordered. Please be advised that the permit requires that the facility
be properly operated and maintained at all times.
The remaining treatment units appeared to be operating properly and the surrounding grounds
were well maintained. The color of the mixed liquor appeared normal. A process'control program
consists of DO, MLSS, pH, and settleability tests. Sludge wasting is based on the settleability tests.
The ORC was very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility.
The collection system consists of one lift station and is equipped with functional audible
and visual alarms. According to the ORC, the lift station is inspected seven days per week.
The facility is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been
designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility.
LABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Certification # 402 ) in Charlotte, N.C. has been contracted (via
Test America, Inc.) to provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this
inspection. The pH, DO, and TRC meters and the thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENURECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear with suspended solids and no foam. The facility discharges into
Caldwell Creek, which is a Class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The receiving
stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The outfall location was accessible.

Ridgewood Farms Subdivision WWTP
Page Three
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS cont'd:
A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28µg/l. Be aware
that a stream action level of 17 µg/l has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action level of 28 ug/l has been set as the maximum allowable effluent
concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total
residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period May 2001 through January 2002,
inclusive. No limit violations were reported. No effluent flow was reported on June 30, 2001.
Please resubmit an amended DMR if the above noted deficiency was a transcription error. The
remaining monitoring frequencies were correct.
The collection time for the pH and TRC samples is documented; however, the analysis time
is not documented to verify compliance with the 15-minute holding time as required by 40 CFR
136.3, Table II (noted in previous inspection dated 6/14/01).
The start time for the composite sampler was not documented as required by 15A NCAC 2B
.0506(b)(3)(F).
The upstream and downstream sampling locations appeared to be consistent with the
requirements of the permit.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured continuously by a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip
chart recording. The flow meter is calibrated annually by B.W. Allen of Charlotte, N.C. The flow
meter was last calibrated on 11/13/01.
The WWTP was discharging at the time of the inspection; however, the v-notch weir was
experiencing submerged flow conditions. The diameter of the discharge outlet pipe was not
adequate to sustain the effluent flows during the operation of the on -site lift station. In addition, the
time indicated on the strip chart recorder deviated greater than three hours from the actual time.
Please be advised that the permit requires that the facility be properly operated and maintained at all
times. In addition, 15A NCAC 2B .0505(b)(1) and the permit requires all flow measuring devices
shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10% from true discharge
volumes. The diameter of the discharge pipe shall be increased to accommodate the fluctuations of
effluent flow without inhibiting accurate flow measurements.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is removed by Liquid Waste, Inc. and disposed at the Rocky River WWTP in
Cabarrus County.

SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of
the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville
Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours
may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858-
0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of
the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the
bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time
it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence
of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties
of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.
