Failure to Submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
Arauco Panels LLC
Moncure Facility
NPDES Permit NCO040711
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Quesenberry:
On July 14, 2017, the Division issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) against Arauco Panels USA LLC —
Moncure Facility. The NOV was based upon a violation of the reporting requirement by failing to submit
a discharge monitoring report (DMR) for April 2010, May 2010, and July 2014 through November 2014.
Subsequent to your receipt of the NOV, John Bird with Arauco Panels LLC contacted the Division
indicating that Arauco Panels USA LLC was not the owner of the facility at the tune the 2010 DMRs
were due for submission, as well as stating that Arauco Panels LLC had a waiver issued by the Division
waiving the requirement to submit monthly DMRs, effective July 1, 2014 Therefore, Arauco Panels
USA LLC was not responsible for submitting DMRs for permit NCO040711.
Since Arauco Panels USA LLC was not required to submit DMRs for the Moncure Facility (NC0040711)
as they were not the owners at the time DMRs were due for submission and had a waiver suspending
submission of monthly DMRs thereafter, I have withdrawn the NOV against Arauco Panels USA LLC —
Moncure Facility for the cited violation and directed that the record of this violation be removed from our
files.
Please note that Arauco Panels LLC is still responsible for submitting the missing June 2014 DMR
(NOV-2017-LR-0084), as the reporting waiver did not go into effect until July 1, 2014, and stated that
"The DMRs up through (and including) June 2014 should be submitted as usual."
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions about this letter or
discharge monitoring reports, please contact Brianna Young at 919-807-6333 or via e-mail at
[e-mail].
