Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION & INTENT TO ISSUE CIVIL PENALTY
Tracking No.: NOV-2019-LM-0083
W WTP Permit No. WQ0030088
Majestic Oaks WWTP
Pender County
Dear Ms. Sanchez -King:
Old North State Water Company appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Notice of
Violation issued on October 31, 2019 by the Division of Environmental Quality. The Notice of
Violation was issued related to Limit and Monitoring violations?
The Turbidity, Total Residual Chlorine, PH, Fecal, BOD, TKN, Total Nitrogen and the Total
Phosphorus were mistakenly omitted from the August NDMR. The lab failed to send one
week's results. In August there was a change in ORCs which lead to the confusion on the log
sheets.
The report has been amended, emailed and attached to this response.
We feel that a civil penalty would not be prudent as we have acted in a responsible manner to
address these issues and bring the facility into compliance. Therefore, we request that the
Division considers these efforts when deciding on further enforcement.
Old North Water Company strives for excellence and has always welcomed open
communication with NC DWR Staff to ensure compliance with any permit and we continue to
be concerned about the issuance of NOV's that could have been avoided through open
communication. If Old North State Water Company can be of any further assistance or
additional information is needed, please contact me at 252-235-4900.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Myers
Old North State Water Company

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. !
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

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.
