Department of Environmental Quality vs. Town of Mount Olive,
Stipulated Penalty Demand for Violation of Consent Order
EMC SOC S20-002; NOV-2022-SP-0004
Wayne County
Dear Mr. Talton:
On October 14, 2021, Mount Olive entered Special Order by Consent S20-002 with the North
Carolina Environmental Management Commission whereby the Town of Mount Olive WWTP
and collection system '(Permit No. WQ0029169, Permit No, WQCS00129, Permit No.
NC0020575) is not capable of consistently meeting effluent limits in the current permits due to
infiltrationrnflow and treatment issues.
Upon review of the deadline established in Section 2(b) of the SOC for submittal of quarterly
progress reports, I have concluded that a quarterly progress report was not submitted by May 1,
2022, as was noted in the Notice of Violation (NOV-2022-SP-0004) issued to the Town of Mount
Olive on June 2, 2022. Paragraph 3 of the SOC contains a stipulated penalty of $1,000 for the first
violation with the penalty doubling for each violation thereafter. The calculated penalty for the
violation listed above was given as $1,000 dollars in NOV-2022-SP-0004.
