In regards to the Notice of Violation and Intent to Assess Civil Penalty tracking number: NOV-2022-LM-
0013 for the month of October 2021.
Violation 001 Effluent for PH (00400)- We were in the learning phase during transition of ORC's
and it was an oversight on our part. Town personnel weren't aware of permit limiting
parameters for PH until current ORC came on board.
Violation 001 Effluent for Coliform, Fecal MF,MFC Broth- We took an extra sample that week
and this sample came back within normal permitting limits. Samples for the prior week and the
sample the week after were within normal limits. With the former ORC leaving abruptly, we
were unaware of any issue that may have happened to the waste water treatment plant prior to
the sample being taken. We were in the learning phase on this issue, and electronic reporting,
now that we are aware, we have a good management of operation on the waste water plant
and the parameters on the permit. We had reached out to RWA and other ORC's in the area for
help on this issue when lab results came back.
Violation 001 Effluent Flow - Due to a storm in June, the flow meter was hit by lightning and
was inoperable. We weren't aware that this was an issue until the ORC resigned in October. The
flow device that was damaged, was ordered and has been on back order since then. The new
ORC made us aware of this issue and it was reported on original report when sent in. We
couldn't figure out how the former ORC was getting his flow information and didn't want to
report fraudulent information.

A Notice of Violation/Intent to Issue Civil Penalty is being issued for the noted violation of North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and the facility's NPDES WW Permit. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of
not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who violates or
fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S.
143-215.1.
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violation, request technical assistance, or
discuss overall compliance please respond in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of this Notice. A
review of your response will be considered along with any information provided on the submitted Monitoring
Report(s). You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no
response is received in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be
prepared.
Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems,
and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by
Consent.
Reminder: Pursuant to Permit Condition 6 in Section E, the Permittee is required to verbally notify the Regional
Office as soon as possible, not to exceed 24 hours, from first knowledge of any non-compliance at
the facility including limit violations, bypasses of, or failure of a treatment unit. A written report may
be required within 5 days if directed by Division staff. Prior notice should be given for anticipated or
potential problems due to planned maintenance activities, taking units off-line, etc.
