such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and

believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below

applied to the detriment of the petitioner,

your remission request The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
