Ofrice 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 Cc: David Strum, Envirolink Rebecca Manning, Envirolink Tracy Miller, Envirolink DocuSign Envelope lD'.
