This correspondence is follow-up to a telephone call with you by Mr. Richard Young on
December 28, 2017 at about 15:30. On Thursday, December 28, at approximately 12:30,
the Electric Glass Fiber America, LLC, Shelby plant experienced a release of liquid
Windshield Washer Solvent (Winter Blend) caused by the malfunction of a 250 gallon tote
owned an another company and located on the over the road truck trailer that was
operated by a freight line carrier.
An Old Dominion Freight Line Tractor Trailer was delivering supplies to the Shelby site
receiving dock. While backing into Dock 33, the Old Dominion driver observed fluid
dripping from under the truck trailer. He stopped the truck and opened the back door to
find a 250 gallon tote of Windshield Washer Solvent (Winter Blend) had ruptured spilling
its contents onto the floor of the trailer. He immediately backed the trailer up to the Dock
33 door to slow the fluid from coming out of the trailer. The site Emergency Spill Team
responded and contained the fluid by using absorbent to build a berm around the truck
and trailer. Approximately three gallons of the material entered into a dry storm water
basin where it was contained.
The spill contractor (CERT) was sub -contracted out by PetroChem who was the
contractor/broker hired for the clean-up by Old Dominion. The truck was cleaned first and
left the facility with the empty tote. The spill contractor continued to cleaning the site. The
Windshield Washer Solvent residue on the concrete pad and asphalt removed using a
vacuum truck and absorbent material. The storm water basin and drain pipe was dry, and
all Windshield Washer Solvent was cleaned up using a Vacuum Truck.

Electric Glass Fiber America, LLC
940 Washburn Switch Road, Shelby, NC 28150 Telephone Number: 704-434-2261
Electric Glass Fiber America Shelby will continue to monitor the concrete pad and asphalt
for evidence of Windshield Washer Solvent residue. Any residue noted will be removed
immediately..

Mr. Bell:
This correspondence is follow-up to a voice message left for you by Mr. Richard Young
on December 25, 2017 at about 12:30.On Monday December 25, at approximately 05:00,
the Electric Glass Fiber America, LLC, Shelby plant experienced a release of hydraulic
oil caused by the malfunction of a vehicle owned and operated by a contractor to Electric
Glass Fiber America.
A Waste Pro Truck was loading trash from a trash compactor when a hydraulic oil hose
ruptured and spilled 10 - 12 gallons. Plant personnel responded to the spill immediately
and were able to capture approximately 10 gallons of the hydraulic oil with absorbent
materials. At the time of the spill, the vehicle remained on an impervious surfaces
(concrete pad and black top road), and the spill was limited to these areas. There is a
storm drain on the pad, and a small amount of fuel (not more than one gallon) entered
the storm drain vault. The vault was dry, and all hydraulic oil that entered the vault was
cleaned up using absorbent material. All hydraulic oil residue on the concrete pad, black
top road and in the vault was removed using absorbent material. No hydraulic oil came
into contact with soil or surface water. Prior to removing the truck, the hydraulic oil line
was repaired to prevent further spillage.
Electric Glass Fiber America Shelby will continue to monitor the concrete pad, black top
road and storm drain vault for evidence of hydraulic oil residue. Any residue noted will
be removed immediately.

Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements
PPG - Shelby facility
NPDES Permit Number: NC0004685
Dear NPDES Permittee:
W 0 R 0 S
MOORESVILLE FR.EIGIONAL OFFICE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper -based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
• Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently
reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting
in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016;
electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary.
• Phase 2 —Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the
second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports.
Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits
The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic
reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the
electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES
permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically
report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system.
In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees
to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(I)(9)]. Initial
State of North Carolina i Environmental Quality i Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center i Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
919 807 6300

recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the
entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically
submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July
18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial
recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or
determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission.
NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups:
1. Discharge Monitoring Reports;
2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOls); Notices of Termination (NOTs)];
3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and
4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports
EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic
submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting
tool will be available as well.
For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit
http://www2.epa.goy/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-
electronic-reporting-rule. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DWR, visit

wastewater bypass that occurred on Friday, 3/11/16 at the PPG Shelby Manufacturing Facility.
The bypass was initially reported by telephone to you at approximately 4:00 PM on 3/11/16. The
release reached surface waters. The spill residue was cleaned up promptly, and a root cause
investigation began immediately.

Time: 1:30 PM
Time: 10:30 AM
X None Primary Treatment Secondary Treatment _Chlorination/Disinfection Only
Estimated Volume of Spill/Bypass: less than 8,200 gallons (must be given even if it is a rough estimate)
Did the Spill/Bypass reach the Surface Waters? X Yes _No
If yes, please list the following:
Volume Reaching Surface Waters: less than 8,200 gallons Surface Water Name: Beaverdam Creek
Did the Spill/Bypass result in a Fish Kill? Yes X No
Was WWTP compliant with permit requirements? X Yes No
Were samples taken during event? X Yes No
Source of the Upset/Spill/Bypass (Location or Treatment Unit):
The bypass originated from a manhole in the facility wastewater collection system.
Cause or Reason for the Upset/Spill/Bypass:
The cause of the bypass was determined to be a partial blockage of the downstream wastewater line. As a
result of the blockage, process wastewater overflowed from the manhole cover. The process wastewater
migrated to a nearby storm water drain.
Describe the Repairs Made or Actions Taken:
Upon identifying the issue, the wastewater flow was immediately stopped. A line cleaning contractor was
called in to clear the line. The line was then cleaned out with a high pressure nozzle from the manufacturing
facility to the manhole and from the manhole to the wastewater treatment facility (approximately 1,700 feet).
Action Taken to Contain Spill, Clean Up and Remediate the Site (if applicable):
A vacuum truck was used to clean the surrounding area. Residual wastewater was discharged to the
wastewater treatment plant.

Action Taken or Proposed to be Taken to Prevent Occurrences:
Additional proposed corrective actions include:
• Monthly manhole preventive maintenance (PM) now including high pressure cleaning of the
downstream line.
• Refresher Storm Water Awareness training for personnel who work in the area.
• Temporarily sealing the manhole until long term solutions can be evaluated.
• Periodic visual monitoring of the manhole and storm water drain until long term solutions can be
evaluated.
Additional Comments About the Event:
The original reported volume was estimated at 8,600 gallons. After closer investigation, the release was
determined to be less than 8,200 gallons. The refined estimate is based on a more accurate incident time
frame. Upon discovering the spill, a sample was taken from the NPDES Permitted Outfall #2 and analyzed
(see the following results):
• Total Residual Chlorine — 21 micrograms per liter
• pH — 7.1 SU
• Temperature —19 degrees Celsius
• Flow - 0.02 MGD
• DO - 8.1 milligrams per liter
Additionally, Outfall #2 and Beaverdam Creek were observed for the next three (3) days. There was no visual
indication of the release or a fish kill.
Based on this data and visual observations, it does not appear that any permit limits were exceeded.

Re: PPG Shelby Release to Storm Water Unanticipated Bypass
Five -Day Follow Up Notification Letter
Dear Mr. Khan:
704-434-2261
Extension 2351
[e-mail]
The purpose of this letter is to provide the required five (5) day written notice of an unanticipated
bypass of wastewater to the storm water system. This information is being sent to you after our
telephone conversation on 3/15/16 during which we discussed the wastewater bypass that
occurred on Friday, 3/11/16 at the PPG Shelby Manufacturing Facility. The bypass was initially
reported by telephone to Mr. Barry Love at approximately 4:00 PM on 3/11/16. The release
reached surface waters and a Press Release was submitted to the Shelby Star on 3/12/16. This
Press Release appeared in the Sunday, 3/13/16 Shelby Star.
Description and Cause of Event
The bypass came from a manhole in the facility's wastewater collection system. The cause of the
bypass was determined to be a partial blockage of the downstream wastewater line. As a result of
the blockage, process wastewater overflowed from the manhole cover. The process wastewater
migrated to a nearby storm water drain.
Dates and Times of Event -
Incident Started: Date: 03/08/16 Time: 1:30 PM
Incident Ended: Date: 03/11/16 Time: 10:30 AM
Ste s Taken or Planned To Reduce Eliminate and Prevent Reoccurrence
Upon identifying the issue, the wastewater flow was immediately stopped. A line cleaning
contractor was called in to clear the line. The line was then cleaned out with a high pressure
nozzle from the manufacturing facility to the manhole and from the manhole to the wastewater

ygatment facility (approximately 1,700 feet).
Proposed corrective actions include:
• Monthly manhole preventive maintenance (PM) now including high pressure cleaning of
the downstream line.
• Refresher Storm Water Awareness training for personnel who work in the area.
• Temporarily sealing the manhole until long term solutions can be evaluated.
• Periodic visual monitoring of the manhole and storm water drain until long term solutions
can be evaluated.
The original reported volume was estimated at 8,600 gallons. After closer investigation, the
release was determined to be less than 8,200 gallons. The refined estimate is based on a more
accurate incident time frame. Upon discovering the spill, a sample was taken from the NPDES
Permitted Outfall 42 and analyzed (see the following results):
• Total Residual Chlorine — 21 micrograms per liter
• pH-7.1 SU
• Temperature —19 degrees Celsius
• Flow - 0.02 MGD
• DO — 8.1 milligrams per liter
Additionally, Outfall #2 and Beaverdam Creek were observed for the next three (3) days. There
was no visual indication of the release or a fish kill.
Based on this data and visual observations, it does not appear that any permit limits were
exceeded.

Notification of Discharge of Untreated Wastewater
.y
General Statute 143-215.1C requires that the owner or operator of any wastewater collection
or treatment works issue a press release when an untreated wastewater discharge of 1,000
gallons or more reaches surface waters.
In accordance with the referenced statute, the following news release has been prepared and
issued to media in the affected county: Cleveland.
i
The PPG Manufacturing Facility in Shelby had a discharge of untreated wastewater during the
week of March 7, 20A estimated at 8,600 gallons from a manhole in an unmanned area of the
Facility. The untreated; wastewater was discharged into Beaverdam Creek in the Broad River
Basin. Samples collected from the discharge confirmed that no permit limits were exceeded.
The NC Division of Water Quality was notified of the event on March 11, 2016 when the
discharge was found and is reviewing the matter. For more information contact PPG at 704-

Find attached a WWTP bypass report. This information is being sent to you after our phone
conversation on 3/18/13 in which we discussed the Wastewater Bypass which occurred that
morning on Monday 3/18/13 at the PPG Shelby WWTP. The release did not reach surface waters
and the plant's influent was temporarily diverted to the waste treatment holding pond until the
process problem was solved. The spill and residue was cleaned up promptly and a root cause
investigation was began immediately.

April 2012 Monthly Monitoring Report
PPG Shelby WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County, NC
Dear Mr. O'Connor:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A review of the April 2012 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) revealed a reporting deficiency, which
resulted in your permit being flagged for monitoring violations of dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH in
the Division of Water Quality's compliance database as noted in the attached document. The following
deficiency was found.on the subject DMR - holidays not clearly marked.
To prevent the generation of monitoring violations, the permittee or their designee (ORC) must enter the
letter "H" in each parameter block (that was not sampled) on a date designated as "holiday time" by the
permittee. "Holiday" may also be written across multiple parameter blocks if more than one parameter had
reduced monitoring or if more than one day was included in the holiday celebration. Designating "H" or
"Holiday" allows the Division's data entry staff to correctly code the holiday and trigger the Division's
compliance database to calculate a reduced number of monitoring requirements during this abbreviated
monitoring week.
The submission of an amended DMR is required to address the noted monitoring deficiencies during the
week ending April 7, 2012. Please submit an amended April 2012 DMR (two copies) to Central Files,
Division of Water Quality, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617. If you have any
questions regarding this letter please_ feel free to contact me at [phone] or

Subject: Whole effluent toxicity test results
PPG Industries Fiber Glass Products, Inc -Shelby
NPDES Permit # NC0004685/001
Cleveland County
The aquatic toxicity test using flow proportional composite samples of effluent discharged from PPG Shelby
has been completed. PPG Shelby has an effluent discharge permitted that is 1.3 million gallons per day
(MGD) entering the Brushy Creek' (7Q10 of 4.0 CFS). Whole effluent samples were collected on January 3
and January 5 by John Lesley and facility representative Guy O'Connor for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia
dubia pass -fail toxicity test. The test using these samples resulted in a fail. Toxicity test information follows.

Test results for the above samples indicate that the effluent would be predicted to have water quality impacts
on receiving water. These samples were split and sent to R & A Labs. The chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia
pass/fail toxicity test run by R&A resulted in a pass. Lance Ferrell with ATU will review the disagreeing split
test results. If it is determined that an additional split test is needed, we will contact John Lesley for
scheduling. Please contact us if you have any questions or if further effluent toxicity monitoring is desired.
We may be reached at [phone].

Original memo dated January 261h erroneously stated that the receiving stream was North Fork Catawba River. Brushy Creek is the

Subject: Notice of Deficiency — Holiday Reporting
December 2010 Monthly Monitoring Reports
PPG -Shelby Facility WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County, NC
Dear Mr. McInnis: -
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A review of the December 2010 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) revealed a reporting deficiency,
which resulted in your permit being flagged for monitoring violations in the Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ's) compliance database as noted in the attached document. Be advised that improper reporting is
a violation of NPDES Permit conditions and may be subject to enforcement action, including civil penalty
assessment, by the Division. The following deficiency was found on the subject DMR - holidays must.be
clearly marked.
To prevent the generation of monitoring violations, the permittee or their designee (ORC) must enter the
letter "H" in each parameter block (that was not sampled) on a date designated as "holiday time" by the
permittee. "Holiday" may also be written across multiple parameter blocks if more than one parameter had
reduced monitoring or if more than one day was included in the celebration of the holiday. Designating "H"
or "Holiday" allows the Division's data entry staff to correctly code the, holiday and trigger the database to
calculate a reduced number of monitoring requirements during this abbreviated monitoring week.
The submission of an amended DMR is required to address the noted reporting deficiencies during the
week ending January 1, 2011. Please submit an amended December 2010 Discharge Monitoring Report
by June 3, 2011. Send two copies of the amended DMR to Central Files, Division of Water Quality, 1617
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617. If you have any questions regarding this issue
please feel free to contact meat [phone] or [e-mail].

MAY 19 2010
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation issued on May 10, 2010 by the Division of
Water Quality ("DWQ") to PPG Industries Fiber Glass Products, Inc. ("PPG"). The Notice of
Violation alleged that PPG's February 2010 self -monitoring report described an ammonia
Nitrogen effluent limit excursion of the permitted daily maximum value and also the monthly
average.
PPG immediately investigated the matter upon receiving the sample report from Pace Analytical
Labs. No upsets or abnormalities were found relating to the wastewater influent, PPG wastewater
operations, or testing procedures performed by the lab. A "Root Cause Analysis" was conducted
with a team of PPG technicians, engineers, and consultants.
Based on the results of our investigation of the sample result, the most likely cause was the
system's Nitrifying Bacteria had encountered reduced removal capacity. This reduction was a
result of the wastewater temperature dropping below 15 deg. C for several days prior to 2/10/10.
The immediate corrective action was to increase the Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids ("MLSS")
set -point from 3600 to 4000 mg/L. At this point a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was
written and implemented to operate with higher MLSS during colder months of the year.

In summary, PPG believes that the excursions experienced on February 10, 2010 were
attributable to periods of continuous abnormal cold weather temperatures which reduced the
ammonia removal capacity of the Nitrifying Bacteria. During both instances all other monitored
parameters were within limits and these incidents did not represent any upset with the
wastewater process. PPG promptly investigated and corrected the conditions thought to have
contributed to this contamination. Subsequent sampling results have been compliant, and PPG
believes that this issue has been adequately corrected. PPG requests that the DWQ consider this
matter resolved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Richard Young at [phone]

NPDES Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County
Dear Ms. Allocco:
Shelby, N.C. 28150
APR 2 8 2010
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation issued on April 15, 2010 by the Division of
Water Quality ("DWQ") to PPG Industries Fiber Glass Products, Inc. ("PPG"). The Notice of
Violation alleged that PPG's January 2010 self -monitoring report described an ammonia
Nitrogen effluent limit excursion of the permitted daily maximum value and also the monthly
average.
PPG immediately investigated the matter upon receiving the sample report from Pace Analytical
Labs. No upsets or abnormalities were found relating to the wastewater influent, PPG wastewater
operations, or testing procedures performed by the lab. A "Root Cause Analysis" was conducted
with a team of PPG technicians, engineers, and consultants.
Based on the results of our investigation of the sample result, the most likely cause was the
system's Nitrifying Bacteria had encountered reduced removal capacity. This reduction was a
result of the wastewater temperature dropping below 15 deg. C for several days prior to 1/20/10.
The immediate corrective action was to increase the Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids ("MLSS")
set -point from 3200 to 3600 mg/L, therefore increasing the Nitrifying Bacteria. The set -point
increase was slow to change and the bacteria's removal capacity remained low as periods of cold

PP
weather continued. Test results for 2/10/10 indicated a NH3-N of 9.8 mg/L after similar
conditions where temperatures remained below 15 deg. C for several days prior to testing. At
this point the MLSS set -point was increased to 4000 mg/L and a written plan was implemented
to operate with higher MLSS during colder months of the year.
In summary, PPG believes that the excursions experienced on October 22, 2008 and February
10, 2010 were attributable to periods of continuous abnormal cold weather temperatures which
reduced the ammonia removal capacity of the Nitrifying Bacteria. During both instances all other
monitored parameters were within limits and these incidents did not represent any upset with the
wastewater process. PPG promptly investigated .and corrected the conditions thought to have
contributed to this contamination. Subsequent sampling results have been compliant, and PPG
believes that this issue has been adequately corrected. PPG requests that the DWQ consider this
matter resolved.

Re: PPG Shelby WWTP-BYPASS/tJPSET Report
Dear Mr. Landis:
Find attached a WWTP bypass report. This information is being sent to you after our phone
conversation on 6/21/10 in which we discussed the Wastewater Bypass that occurred on Friday
6/18/10 at the PPG Shelby WWTP. The bypass was initially reported by phone to Ms. Marcia
Allocco with the NCDWQ at approximately 1:30 PM on 6/18/10. The release did not reach
surface waters and the back-up clarifier was immediately placed in surface. The spill residue was
cleaned up promptly and the root cause of the leak will be repaired by a qualified contractor once
the source has been excavated.
If you have any questions regarding the information presented, please contact me at (704) 434-

Subject: Minor pH Excursion 6/30/10
July 2, 2010
- c( - x
JUL -62010
This letter is in response to your request during our phone conversation on June 30, 2010. In that
conversation I described to you a minor excursion that had occurred at the PPG Industries Fiber Glass
Products, Inc. ("PPG") wastewater treatment plant on June 30, 2010.
On June 30t' when the operators began daily inspections the continuous lime slurry feed was found to be
feeding at a higher volume than normal. On the previous two days the lime feed rate had been adjusted
several times to compensate for influent changes. Due to these adjustments the metering pump had
inadvertently been left pumping too high or the pump flow had self increased due to vibration. After this
finding the daily effluent grab sample was taken and indicated the pH to be 9.6 Standard Units ("SU")
which was above the 9.0 SU parameter limit. this reading was confirmed at approximately 10:00 AM
the effluent was turned off and diverted back to the headworks of the plant at 10:00 AM... The treatment
plant ran in this recycle mode until 2:00 PM at which time the effluent flow was re-established with a
pH of 7.7 SU. The pH was again tested at 3:30 PM and indicated 7.2 SU. To prevent another occurrence
of this nature the lime pump system was cleaned, preventive maintenance completed and a day board
communication system is being developed to better track process changes for operators.
In summary, PPG believes that the short excursion experienced on June 30, 2010 was most likely
attributable to an over feed of lime and was an isolated instance and did not represent the daily effluent
or any upset with the wastewater process. PPG promptly investigated and corrected the conditions
thought to have contributed to this event. Subsequent sampling results have been compliant, and PPG
believes that this issue has been adequately corrected.

MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation issued on October 6, 2010 by the Division of
Water Quality ("DWQ") to PPG Industries Fiber Glass Products, Inc. ("PPG"). The Notice of
Violation alleged that PPG's July 2010 self -monitoring report described a BOD effluent limit
excursion of the permitted daily maximum value on July 1st, 2010.
PPG immediately investigated the matter upon receiving the sample report from Pace Analytical
Labs. Based on the results of our investigation of the sample result, the most likely cause was a
minor excursion that had occurred on 6/30/10 due to an over feed of lime. This incident was
reported to Ms. Donna Hood the day before the BOD sample was taken.
In summary, PPG believes that the excursion experienced on July 1, 2010 was attributable to an
over feed of lime which was contained within the treatment process on the previous day. During
this instance on July 1st all other monitored parameters were within limits and this incident did
not represent an upset with the wastewater process. PPG promptly investigated and corrected the
conditions thought to have contributed to this contamination. Subsequent sampling results have

been compliant, and PPG believes that this issue has been adequately corrected. PPG requests
that the DWQ consider this matter resolved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Richard Young at [phone]

Dear Mr. Mathis:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A review of the July 2010 self -monitoring report for the subject facility revealed a violation of the
following parameter at Outfall 001:
Date Parameter Reported Value Permit Limit
7/1/10 BOD 33.1 mg/L 3 0. 0 mg/L (Daily maximum)
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. Since the
comments section on the reverse of the relevant Discharge Monitoring Report provided an explanation for the
noted effluent limit violation, a response to this notice is not required; however, should you have additional
information concerning the violations or comments which you wish to present, please submit them to the
attention of Ms. Marcia Allocco.
The Division of Water Quality 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. You may contact Ms. Allocco of this Office for additional information.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Allocco or me at
[phone].
