You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no
response is received in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be
prepared.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. The Division of
Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional violations. 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.
You may contact Mark Brantley, Environmental Senior Specialist, of this Office for additional
information.
Sincerely,
