Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute.

In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

Manuel Assistant Regional Supervisor Water Quality Regional Operations Section Raleigh Regional Office Division of Water Resources, NCDEQ P{Coo 2333 Dear Mrs. Manuel, !fir r"A' 4a.1 am writing in response to the NOV letter (# NOV-2020-LV-0392 ) received by the Town of Scotland Neck on May 9, 2020. In our previous response letter we addressed several issues that we are dealing with concerning broken or missing equipment at the WWTP. In addition, the plant was loaded down with solids in both the oxidation ditch, which had a MLSS of 8000+, and the aerobic digester. We also had intermittent leaks in our disinfection system that caused fecal coliform results to vary. In that letter we mapped out a plan of action to correct these issues and achieve compliance. We located and fixed all the leaks in the disinfection system by March 15, 2020 and contracted with WaterGuard to refurbish our chemical pumps. We have been compliant with our fecal limits since March 16, 2020. On March 231d we had a new RAS pump and controller installed. By April 1011 Granville Farms began hauling sludge from the digester and finished up later in the month with a total of 280,000 gallons being removed. We immediately began to waste sludge back to the digester until we got our MLSS in the oxidation ditch down to around 4000 MLSS. By the last week of April we were meeting our BOD limits but not our NH3N limits. At this point we had Dwight Lancaster from NC Rural Water come in to advise us on things we could do to help with the nitrification and denitrification process. By the last week of May we had met all our permit parameter limits and are still in full compliance as of the date of this letter. We are continuing to replace and repair equipment at the WWTP as needed. We also have future plans in place to address other challenges affecting the operation of the plant during high flows.
