Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct all conditions
which have been deemed to have contributed to causing the above-listed violations. The
Division of Water Resources (DWR or Division) bases decisions concerning enforcement
actions for SSOs on volume spilled, volume reaching surface waters, duration, gravity,
impacts to public health, fish kills, and other factors. DWR may pursue enforcement action
for these and/or any additional violations of the WQCS00018 collection system permit. If
violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance issues,
and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish to consider
applying for a Special Order by Consent (SOC).
Pursuant to NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who
violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any
permit issued pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1. The incidents above constitute such
violations.
