Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any noted problems. The Asheville
Regional Office acknowledges the permittee gave notification once it was determined the bench sheet for October
3rd could not be found. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any
additional violations. 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 (SOC).
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Mikal Willmer of the
Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4686 or via email at [e-mail].

Sincerely,
