Dear Mr. Deaver:
A review of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) database which tracks the monthly submittal of Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) revealed that the November 2022 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) was not filed
with the Division within the thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is
made [per 15A NCAC 02B .0506].
Report Period Due Date
December 2022 1/31/2023
Our records indicate that you received a Notice of Violation (NOV-2023-LR-0007) on 3/8/2023 for the missing
November 2022 DMR. Within said notice, you were informed that this office will recommend the assessment of civil
penalties if future reports are not received within the required time frame during the next
twelve (12) reporting months.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude that A&D Water Service Inc violated or failed to act in accordance with
the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO030325 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than
$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any
documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be
assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
