CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: LV-2016-0169 Region: Asheville County: Transylvania
Assessed Entity: New Excelsior,Inc. WWTP Permit: NC0000108
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
❑ (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation:
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The facility's agent states the WWTP received significant flow due to torrential rains,including additional flow
from the parking lot and down spouts.They state this storm water brings excess oils to the facility,and that
these oils add weight to the effluent.They attribute the total suspended solids exceedances to this occurrence.
Although precipitation data from the area indicate some rainfall, the volume of rainfall was not excessive.
Furthermore, there was little to no rain for the latter half of the month, when two daily maximum exceedances
were reported.If there is stormwater entering the wastewater stream, it is the permittee's responsibility to
correct the issue and restore compliance.
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:

NOV-LV-2016-0169
Dear Mr.Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above NOV dated August 29,2016 and received by James&James on or
about September 6,2016. The violation was for the month of April,2016.
The NOV was in reference to elevated Total Suspended Solids results. There were three exceedances for
the daily max and a monthly violation. This facility experienced torrential rains causing a significant
increase in the flow to the facility. Much debris and oils were received to the facility. We have determined
that there must be alternate supply from the roof drains and the parking lot to the facility. The facility
struggled to regain compliance. The operator added alum to help settle out the oils and the facility was
pumped. All components of the facility operate properly and the facility runs at its maximum potential for
the waste stream it receives.
The facility regained compliance for the month of May,2016.
This facility has been running exceptionally well and we would appreciate any consideration of
assessments.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
With highest regards,
Juanita James

Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the "Request For Remission,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form to request remission of this civil penalty.

penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you
believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation,including copies of supporting documents,as to why the
factor applies(attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.I(b)were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner(the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation(i.e., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident(i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions(I e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve

Report Comments:
On the 7th and the 28th BOD data valid;Blank was>0.20mg/L. There were three daily maximum violations during the month and this did give a monthly violation. We
anticipate that the increased Total Suspended Solids was due to the torrential rains causing additional flow into the facility. We have determined that there must be additional
water tied into the facility from the parking lot and down spouts. This storm water carries the debris from the parking lot and roof that the facility struggles to compensate for.
This excess water brings oils to the facility that weigh heavy in the effluent waters We continually strive for compliance
