Dear Mayor Estridge:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty
in the amount of $2,072.19 ($2,000.00 civil penalty + $72.19 enforcement costs)
against the Town of Ansonville.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been
conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Town of
Ansonville for the month of APRIL 2000. This review has shown the subject
facility to be in violation of the discharge limitation requirements found in
NPDES Permit NC0081825. The violations which occurred in APRIL 2000 are
summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of
Ansonville violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Peiniit
NC0081825 and N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty, in accordance with the maximums established by
N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), may be assessed against a person who violates the
terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a).
