submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice.
Submission information can be found in the NOI.

be properly resolved. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to$25,000 per day for each violation.Your efforts to undertake activities to bring the
subject site into compliance are not an admission,rather they are actions that must be taken in order to
begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues. The timeliness with which you submit an NOI, the degree
and extent of harm to the environment, and the duration and gravity of the violation(s)will be considered
