Dear Mayor Estridge:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan Klimek, Director
Division of Water Quality
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$1,575.21 ($1,5.00.00 civil penalty + $75.21 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 DECEMBER 2001. 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 DECEMBER 2001 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 Permit 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).

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, Paul E. Rawls, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Fayetteville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
the Town of Ansonvile:
$ 1,000.00 For 1 of the 1 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and
NPDES Permit No. NC0081825, by discharging waste into
the waters of the State in violation of permit monthly
average effluent limits for FECAL COLIFORM.
$ 500.00 For 2 of the 2 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and
NPDES Permit No. NC0081825, by discharging waste
into the waters of the State in violation of permit weekly
average effluent limits for FECAL COLIFORM.
$ 1,500.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is the penalty
authorized by G.S. 143- 215.6A.
$ 75.21 Enforcement costs.
$ 1,575.21 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 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
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of
the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of
any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. 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 there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes
whether:
(a) 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;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:

If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office
of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
P.O. Drawer 27447
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney Generals Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Fayetteville Regional
Office at [phone].
