DWR—CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: LV-2015-0144 Region: Mooresville County: Cabarrus
Assessed Entity: Ridgewood Farms at Stones Throw HOA WWTP Permit No.: NC0070289
Assessment Factors
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner: NOT ASSERTED—Not Applicable.
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation: The permittee asserts the violation was due to failure of aeration pumps,which the ORC discovered
during routine inspection. The problem was immediately corrected. The HOA (permittee)attached an invoice for
repair of these pumps in the amount of$817.88 dated July 14, 2015. The HOA has been working with a
contractor to identify problems with the WWTP. They requested in writing on October 6, 2015 technical
assistance from the Division and they also requested a discussion regarding overall compliance.
DWR Notes: The monthly average ammonia violation for this enforcement was for April 2014 and not July
2015. The permittee attached the July 2015 DMR and an invoice for pump repair from July 2015. The invoice
provides information that the facility was in disrepair in July 2015, but does not give support to the April 2014
monthly violation being promptly abated at that tune as a migrating factor for remission.
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident: The HOA(permittee)asserts that
since these violations are due to the condition of the facilities inherited from the previous HOA board that it was
inadvertent. The system is very old and was not maintained by the previous HOA. The new HOA was set up in
April 2014. The violation resulted from failure of the aeration pumps that were repaired in July 2015.
DWR Notes: The Permittee does not provide any explanation that the April 2014 violation was inadvertent or a
result of an accident. The new HOA board took over in April 2014. The condition of the facility required an
aeration pump repair in July 2015. The timeline given by the permittee does not provide any mitigating factors
in support of remission.
(d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations: The HOA
asserts that they have recently received penalties for violations that were prior to their being elected to the board
on April 2, 2014 and that paying these penalties has already exhausted the savings for maintaining the WWTP.
DWR Notes: The permittee has paid$396.97 for the same monthly ammonia violation for May 2014. The last
violation was assessed before April 2014 was in May 2010. The two most recent penalties occurred at the time
the new HOA board took over responsibility in April 2014.
(e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions: The permittee asserts that they are paying debt in the amount of$14,000 that occurred during the term of
the previous HOA board and are struggling to budget routine maintenance. This fine further complicates their
situation. They are attempting to budget to facilitate repair and/or replacement of degraded equipment. The
HOA has been working with a contractor to assess problems with the WWTP. This facility has had very little
upkeep and needs repair beyond the monetary capability of the community represented by the HOA.They are
facing several thousand in repairs for the sewer and water systems.
DWR Notes: The permittee assertion that the civil penalty will prevent payment of debt is a mitigating factor in
support of remission.

This letter is an attempt to get a fine,remitted case number LV-2015-0144.
A new home owner's board was set up in April 0214,previously the board for the HOA
was FW Huntly, and two of his employees. Due to the condition of the utilities and and
community, through the actions of an Attorney, a new board was elected and installed,
we inherited a very old and=maintained water and sewer system. I understand this
remission should have been presented earlier,but due to the new board had
communication problems,and it just recently came to my attention. The original was sent
to Julia Zeledon and not the association board..
This fine was due to the aeriation pumps going down,the ORC discovered this on a
routine visit and immediately corrected the problem, I am enclosing the documentation
for the situation.
We are struggling to pay the debts,which we were not aware of in the amount of over
14,000.00 and the routine upkeep and repairs on the both the systems', and are juggling
accounts to pay the monthly bills. This fine further complicates our situation,we are
facing several thousand in repairs to the sewer system and also the water system.
All previous violations and issues have been dealt with the states satisfaction,
We are doing everything we can to keep these systems up and operating to standards.
I respectfully request that you consider,this request,even though past the deadline and
remit this fine.
Thank you,

Subject: Notice of Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
The Stones Throw Homeowners Association(HOA) Board of Directors is providing the following
information in response to your notice of violation NOV-2015-LV-0616:
1. We have recently had a transfer of responsibility for the HOA and are in the process of
assessing all the needs of the community and how to provide for those needs.
2. We have been working with a contractor to identify the problems with the Ridgewood,Farms
WWTP and have learned that this facility has had very little upkeep and needs work beyond the
monetary capability of this community.
3.We were attempting to save enough over time to facilitate repair and/or replacement of
degraded equipment.
4. We have recently received penalties for violations that were prior to our being elected to the
board and paying those penalities has already exhausted the savings for maintaining the WWTP.
•
Since we are an HOA,and do not presume to be a WWTP professional utility,and we represent
a community of meager means we do request and would welcome your technical assistance
and would appreciate a meaningful discussion regarding overall compliance.
We look forward to working with you to protect our environment.
