If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violation, request technical assistance, or
discuss overall compliance please respond in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of this Notice. A
review of your response will be considered along with any information provided on the submitted Monitoring
Report(s). You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no
response is received in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be
prepared.
Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law. 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.
Reminder: Pursuant to Permit Reporting and Monitoring Requirements Section, Noncompliance Notification, the
Permittee is required to verbally notify the Regional Office as soon as possible, not to exceed 24 hours, from first
knowledge of any non-compliance at the facility including limit violations, bypasses of, or failure of a treatment
unit. A written report may be required within 5 days if directed by Division staff. Prior notice should be given for
anticipated or potential problems due to planned maintenance activities, taking units off-line, etc.
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Helen Perez of the
Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7215.
Sincerely,
ITDocuSigTned
