NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0070734
Gaston County RV 92-03
Dear Pennittee:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject facility in the amount of
$250.00.
This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the subject permit was not
received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180 days prior to the expiration date
contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is contained in your permit and/or North Carolina
General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 143-215.1(c).
Based upon the above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject facility violated or failed to
act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than
$10,000.00 per day, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person who
fails to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess the subject facility a civil
penalty in the amount of$250.00 for violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(c), pursuant to delegation
provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action,including an additional penalty.

1. Submit verification that the permit is no longer needed:
If the permit is no longer needed and no wastewater will be
treated by the permitted facility, please complete the

4. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation
including a detailed justification for such request;
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to
consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in this
assessment letter. Because a remission request foreclosures
the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must
be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual issues in dispute. You must execute and return the
attached waiver and stipulation form to this office with a
detailed statement which you believe establishes that:

detriment of the petitioner,
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental
damage resulting from the violation;
the violation was inadvertent or a result of an zoo,Jo( ,(! �.
