should alert you to any omissions of permit required parameters or limit violations for the eDMR month. P/ease

Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to-correct any noted 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 (SOC).
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Janet Cantwell of the
Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500. i
