From: Davidson, Landon Sent: Friday, January 31, 2020 9:13 AM To: Zimmerman, Jay <iay.zimmerman@ncdenr.gov> Subject: Request for expanded settlement delegation Jay, Good morning. I'm seeking expanded settlement delegation to resolve CPAs associated with two minor NPDES facilities, nursing care homes (Henderson Assisted Living NC0071897and Mtn. View NC0074110). The facilities are legacy, non -compliant and are in our top five regional list of most frequent DMR violations for last five years. Reasons supporting settlement include: different and much better ORC, new tertiary filters, installation of grease traps and correct sampling method now. Total costs spent to achieve compliance (documented with receipts) is $165,734.83. That costs does not include legal fees, septic and drain services, water testing, etc. Additionally, I'm willing to settle much of the CPAs assessed after they earnestly began work in March of 2018, even though they had no SOC, etc. We continued assessing to ensure resolution. All that said, Total Unpaid Enforcement Costs Penalty Mtn. View $3,930.68 $23,275.00 He. Living $5,793.01 $36,612.50 Total $9,723.69 $59,887.50 Assessed after March 2018 Mtn. View $1,968.41 $13,325.00 He. Living 1 $3,089.22 $21,600.00 Total $5,057.63 $34,925.00 Their first offer to resolve all outstanding total ($68,186.19) is $15,000 which would basically leave $5000 toward penalty after paying full enforcement. Please call me at your earliest convenience or delegate full settlement to 20% of CPA for me to work this out. We're very interested in resolving this soon. Thanks. G. Landon Davidson, P.G.
