A Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV/NRE) is being
issued for the noted violation of North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and NPDES
Permit No. NC0042528. 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) days after receipt
of this Notice. A review of your response will be considered along with any information provided
on the August 2015 Discharge Monitoring Report. 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.
