Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present were Bob Sledge with DWR and Grant Hensley ORC (James and James).
The site is in disrepair and is vacant. The WWTP facility is not active. This property has been
purchased and is under new ownership; TRO Consultants, Inc. (Kenneth Hodge) are calling it Pleasant
Cove Home. The permit is being renewed under this new owner.
Note: the establishment is slated to be a large (99 residents) nursing home. The WWTP is a small
package plant. These type of establishments deliver wastewater that is difficult to effectively treat with a
small package plant. However; the inspector spoke with Juanita James (James and. James) voicing
these concerns and Ms. James said the WWTP operated fine in the past under the same waste load.
Ms. James stated that the owner is agreeable to whatever repairs (motor, pump, blower, and control
panel) will be needed to restart the WWTP. I mentioned adding rust removal and painting the facility to
the list of items needed before restart.

Hi Perry,
Thank you for contacting me concerning submittal of the overdue annual permit fees. I expect payment to arrive
tomorrow and will email you once payment been received.
I also spoke with a staff member in Raleigh today concerning this facility and based on our discussions, please find below
three activities that, while they do not impose any additional costs upon the facility, should be addressed to ensure the
upcoming change in ownership occurs smoothly.
1. The current owner needs to contact the Asheville Regional Office and schedule a time when a regional office
staff person can visit the wastewater treatment plant and verify the facility is no longer discharging. A DWR
staff member recently went to the but was unable to gain access to the wastewater treatment plant. I suggest
contacting Janet Cantwell in our Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4667.
2. The new owner should contact Bob Sledge in Raleigh at 919.807.6398 to discuss a simple process to waive the
requirement to submit monthly DMRs when there are extended periods of no discharge from the facility.
3. The current/new owner should complete the Name/Ownership Change Form, sign at closing and mail the form
to the Division. The form is attached.
While our conversations have addressed payment of overdue annual fees, there is quite a bit of activity occurring with
the sale of this facility and I wanted to provide some clear direction to the current and new owner in order that
ownership change proceeds smoothly.
Thank you and contact me if you have any additional questions. kevin

A. (4) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then
permittees must submit monitoring data and reports electronically to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21, 2015.

using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:

If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may
be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3)

RE: Renewal of Permit NC0075388
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to request the renewal for the waste water treatment facility Canterbury Hills,
NPDES number N00075388.
The facility currently sits with no electricity. The opportunity to confirm the operation of the
effluent lift station pumps is not available at this time. Both pumps and the panel was
operational at the closure.
At the closure of the facility, both motor -blower combinations were inoperable. At my first visit
to the facility the panel box was standing open. At the closure, all components of this panel
operated properly; now I am unsure of its true condition.
I have spoke in depth with Mr. Ken Hodges regarding the needs, potential needs and the funds
necessary to bring this facility in' compliance with the permit. He is very receptive to all the
needed repairs and intends to operate this facility at its maximum operating potential. Once
electricity is restored and the permit approved, work will begin to restore the facility.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact me and I will be happy to
discuss any concerns. I also welcome a site visit if you choose.
Thank you for your consideration of this permit.

October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and

Everything looks good.
I met with the contract operator and did an inspection on 12-30-09. Attached is are the last 4 inspection
reports and most recent facility info cover page (2010).
Here's what I would suggest.
Supplement to permit cover page:
Continue to operate:
0.012 MGD (0.025 after A to C) extended aeration package plant consisting of:
manual bar screen; aeration basin with dual blowers providing diffused air;
rectangular clarifier with skimmer and sludge returns; aerobic digestor; tablet
chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; tablet dechlorinator; 25 gpm effluent lift
station; and 3430 linear feet of 2-inch force main to the outfall.
I feel that everything else in the attached documents is accurate.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.
Let me know if you have questions or comments.
Thanks,
Wanda

Subject: Invalidation of certification held with the North Carolina Water Pollution Control System
Operators Certification Commission
Dear Mr. McCarson:
This letter is in regards to your North Carolina Water Pollution Control System Operator certification(s).
As of calendar year 2000 and hence forth, the requirement for renewal of any certification held with the
Water Pollution, Control System Operator Certification Commission became a 2 part process: a) the
payment of. a $35 annual renewal fee; and, b) the completion of a minimum of 6 contact hours of
Commission -approved training, with part a and b to be completed by midnight December 31' of each
year. Failure to complete either -part of the process constitutes failure to complete the renewal process
and will result in the invalidation of all certifications you hold with the Commission.
Upon review of our records, it has been determined that you have not completed the renewal
requirements since calendar year 1999 for continued certification by the Commission. As per the
Commission's regulations, all certification(s) you presently hold with the Commission have been
Invalidated.- In order to renew a certificate that has been invalid for more than 2 consecutive years the.
operator shall be required to take and make a passing score on an examination of the same grade as the
former certificate, in this case, Biological Water Pollution Control System Operator Grade' 2. All
requirements to be eligible for the exam, including satisfactory completion of a' Commission approved
training school and completion of all outstanding continuing education hours, must be met as well.
PLEASE NOTE. If you are the Operator In Responsible Charge (ORC):or Backup ORC for a facility,
the invalidation of your certification(s) means you are no longer qualified to act as the ORC or
Backup ORC of a facility. The owner. of the facility for which you are ORC/Backup ORC must
Immediately designate a certified replacement for you or the facility will ,be in violation of its
permit.
If you have questions or need additional information in regards to this matter, please feel free to contact

conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why'you believe the civilpenaltyshould be
remitted, and submit it to the Division.of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated coritinuiiig environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered: by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

County: Buncombe
Case Number: LV-2011-0289
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily TSSs exceeded the permit limit by-3.33% & 48.22%.
One Monthly Average TSS exceeded the permit limit,by 21.58%.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately- quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;,,
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved could include the cost of increased monitoring and
sampling of the BOD, the cost of running the blowers more often and increased
solids management.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There has been one civil penalty enforcement in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

1. We determined that the cause of the violation was apparently
due to the influent containing a slug of an unknown toxic
substance. The facility had healthy bacteria the week before
MAR
the violation. The facility was placed on HAND and
Aluminum Sulfate and Soda Ash were added to aide in
settling the solids out. The clarifier was scraped daily to
return any solids from the hopper to the aeration basin. The
results for the last week indicated that the toxic loading may
have occurred a second time. The facility was re-routed
through the digester to re -seed the plant.

We determined the cause of the violation was due to low

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
.which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violatioo(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,.the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

be submitted to the following address:

As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:

immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Three Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit each by 50%.
3) The effect.on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of sludge wasting, keeping
chlorine in the chlorine contact basin and keeping the chlorine contact basin clean.
The cost of more time spent on site operating would, be included also.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and

Dear Mr. Guerra,
This letter is in response to the NOV dated October 21, 2011 for the system known as Canterbury
Hills/Hawn, Inc./Pleasant Cove Home WWTP. The violation was for an elevated BOD — 5 day and Fecal
Colifotm in the month of December, 2010.
The facility experienced a mechanical problem with the breaker that operated the blower/motor
combination. The breaker was exchanged the last week of the month once the data from the 22nd had been
calculated. The 2151 is also when the Fecal Coliform was elevated. We believe that the elevated BOD
concentration from the same week is the reason for the elevated Fecal Coliform. We believe the chlorine
was depleted by the BOD uptake.
The data was read from the incubator on Tuesday the 28°i, the same day the facility was sampled
for the last week of the month. The maintenance crew was on site Wednesday the 29th to assess the
difficulties with the facility and found the faulty breaker. The breaker was repaired within 24 hours and the
facility placed on hand overnight. There was not ample time to resample for the month of December. 2010.
The first week of samples in January was 43.2mg/l (below the daily maximum), and the following
week at 25.7mgiI. The facility was compliant for January, 2011.

Thank you for your consideration of this assessment. We respectfully request remission of this

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors_ set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement That establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The: Division of Water Quality also requests that

Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for' contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282. 1 (c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. 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-282.1(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 compliance).

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
There was one Daily Max BOD which exceeded the permit limit by 25.77 %.
There was one Daily Max Fecal coliform which exceeded the permit limit by 50%.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or•quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of increased monitoring and
sampling of the BOD and Fecal coliform, the cost of running the blowers more
often and increased solids management. More time spent on site operating could
also help.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There has been one civil penalty assessment in the previous twelve months.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Assessment of Civil Penalties )
Against )
HAVON, INC. AND PLEASANT GROVE )
REST HOME )
BEFORE THE
REMISSION COMMITTEE OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
COMMISSION
LV 2010-0120
FINAL DECISION
THIS MATTER came before the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions of the
Environmental Management Commission, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-215.6A and §143B-282.1,
on September 8, 2011, upon recommendation of the Director of the Division of Water Quality
for entry of a final decision on the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against
Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the total amount of $617.00 ($550.00 plus $67.00
investigation costs). Havon, Inc.'s and Pleasant Grove Rest Home's agent, Juanita James,
submitted a request for remission to the Director seeking reduction of the $617.00 penalty
assessment for violations of the discharge limitations of NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during
December 2009. Upon consideration of the information submitted with the request showing that
ice formed during cold weather .during December 2009 resulted in inaccurate effluent samples
being taken from' the treatment system, the Director reduced the penalties by $250.00, from
$550.00 to $300.00. Havon, Inc's and Pleasant Grove Rest home's request for remission was
presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. Havon, Inc. and
Pleasant Grove Rest Home did not request oral argument; therefore, their request.for remission
was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions based on their written submissions
and those of the Division of Water Quality.
2
Having considered the record and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(b) and
(c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's
Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Havon, Inc. and
Pleasant Grove Rest Home, that the Findings of fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that
the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in'N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1 in determining the
amount of the civil penalties. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), the Committee further
finds that there are grounds for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director
for four violations of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during
December 2009 by discharging effluent that exceeded the Permit Daily Maximum limits for
BOD, Fecal Coliform, and TSS and the Permit Monthly Average limit for TSS. The Committee
found that the violations were inadvertent and resulted from ice that formed in the treatment
system during cold weather and concurred with the Director's proposed$250.00 reduction of the
penalties.
Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment
should.be reduced by $250.00 and upheld in the amount of $367.00 (civil penalty $300.00 plus
$67.00 investigation costs).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Havon, Inc.
and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the amount of $367.00 is AFFIRMED.
2. That this Final -Decision and Order be served upon Havon, Inc. and Pleasant
Grove Rest Home and upon receipt hereof, the' amount of $36.7.00 be paid to the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources within thirty days.

COMMIS IOrATER QUALITY SECTION
LV 201 O- HEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
FINAL DECISION
THIS MATTER came before the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions of the
Enviroiunental Management Commission, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-215.6A and §143B-282.1,
on September 8, 2011, upon recommendation of the Director of the Division of Water Quality
for entry of a final decision on the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against
Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the total amount of $617:00 ($550.00 plus $67.00
investigation costs). Havon, Inc.'s and Pleasant Grove Rest Home's agent, Juanita James,
submitted a request for remission to the Director seeking reduction of the $61.7.00 penalty
assessment for violations of the discharge limitations of NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during
December 2009. Upon consideration of the information submitted with the request showing that
ice formed during cold weather during December 2009 resulted in inaccurate effluent samples
being taken from the treatment system, the Director reduced the penalties by $250.00, fiom
$550.00 to $300.00. Havon, Inc's and Pleasant Grove Rest home's request for remission was
presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. Havon, Inc. and
Pleasant Grove Rest Home did not request oral argument; therefore, their request for remission
was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions based on their written submissions
and those of the Division of Water Quality.
2
Having considered the record and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1(b) and
(c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's
Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Havon, Inc. and
Pleasant Grove Rest Home, that the Findings of fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that -
the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1 in determining the
amount of the civil penalties. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), the Committee further
finds that there are grounds for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director
for four violations of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during
December 2009 by discharging effluent that exceeded the Permit Daily Maximum limits for
BOD, Fecal Coliform, and TSS and the Permit Monthly Average limit for TSS. The Committee
found that the violations were inadvertent and resulted from ice that formed in the treatment
system during cold weather and concurred with the Director's proposed$250.00 reduction of the
penalties.
Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment
should be'reduced by $250.00 and upheld in the amount of $367.00 (civil penalty. $300.0,0 plus -
$67.00 investigation costs)
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Havon, Inc.
and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the amount of $367.00 is AFFIRMED.
2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Havon, Inc. and. Pleasant
Grove Rest Home and upon receipt hereof, the amount of $367.00 be paid to the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources within thirty days.

IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT
OF CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST:

DWQ Case Number LV-2010-0120
REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because
no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and-2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2) for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also, be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the Committee
is informed that a potential violation of the statute concerning the authorized practice of law has occurred.

chlorine contact chamber and dechlor pump tank had frozen from severe cold, and extended days of
severe cold temperatures, to a depth of about 3". To collect these samples, ice had to be broken. This
caused any fines trapped in the ice to be concentrated for the sample. The tablet feeder for chlorine had
ice accumulation in the bottom not allowing contact of the pucks. We conducted preventative measures
to include adding chlorine to the effluent weir -this also froze. We request remission of this penalty due
to conditions of an "act of God" and not controlled by human hand."

(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are, in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted,'and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed.below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in 'support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

System Description
An extended aeration basin with gravity flow influent into a 12,000 gallon treatment facility,
clarifier, sludge holding tank, tablet feed chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber, tablet feed de -chlorinator,
and effluent pump tank.
Performance
This system requires very precise operations. Over the course of the year, we replaced belts, one
motor, repaired an air leak and unstopped diffusers. We have been able to reign in the grease that does enter
the facility most of the time.
Violations and corrective actions taken
February 11 — Fecal Coliform @ >600 colonies/100 mis
February 18 —Fecal Coliform @ >600 colonies/100 mis —increased the chlorine dosage to
accommodate the hydraulic load as the facility cycles.
March 27 — BOD @ 47.5 mg/l — grease in the system was overwhelming the dissolved oxygen;
wasted from the aeration and increased the time the facility operates.
September — FecalColiform @ >600 colonies/100 mis — facility turbid; increased the chlorine
dosage
December 23 —Fecal Coliform @ >1200 colonies/100 mis
BOD @ >80.8 mg/1
TSS @ 233 mg/1— facility froze during the extremely cold conditions; had to
break ice to retrieve samples; -facility could not operate efficiently under these conditions.

remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration.
Havon, Inc.did not request oral argument; therefore, its request for remission was presented to
the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions based on its written submissions and those of the
Division of Water Quality.
Having considered the record and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1(b) and
(c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions 'finds the facts contained in the Director's
Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Havon, Inc., that the
Findings of Fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that the Director properly applied the
criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. The
Committee further finds that there are no grounds shown for remission or reduction of the
penalties assessed by the Director for violation N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1(a)(6) and the terms of
-2-
NPDES Permit NCO075388 during December 2007 by discharging wastewater into the waters of
the State that exceeded the permit Daily Maximum limit for RES/TSS, for two discharges of
wastewater that exceeded the permit Daily Maximum limit for BOD, and for discharges that
exceeded the permit Monthly Average limit for BOD.
Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the assessment of civil
penalties and costs in the amount of $752.50 ($687.50 civil penalty plus $65.00 investigation
costs) should be upheld.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. That the assessment of civil penalties and costs in the amount of $752.50 against
Havon, Inc. is AFFIRMED.
2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Havon, Inc. and upon receipt

PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT - 2008
Pleasant Cove Rest Home dba Canterbury Hills Mr. Wittner Wright
Permit Number: NC007, 53&8
System Description
An extended aeration basin with gravity floww influent into a 12,000 gallon treatment facility,
clarifier, tablet feed chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber, tablet feed de -chlorinator, and effluent pun
tank.
Performance for 2008
This system has some problems with grease entering the facility even though there is a grease trap
on site that has regular maintenance. We usually experience the most difficulty right after the grease trap is
pumped. With the addition of polymers to the system, the grease quickly comes under control. There is
also some foreign influent that comes to the facility due to the nature of persons that is accommodated at
this Rest Home. We handle each need as it arises.
Violations for 2008 and corrective actions taken
January 4, 2008 — BOD @ >45.6 mg/l — the -organic loading was high, the facility was wasted and
the clarifier scraped on a more regular basis.
March 27, 2008 — Fecal Coliform, @ >600 colonies/100 mis — increased the chlorine dosage
April, 2008 — Ammonia Nitrogen Monthly -Average @ 25..1 mg/l — increased the air to the facility
September 4, 2008 — TSS @ 90.4 mg/l — due to something entering the facility that killed much of
the bacteria. Solids were wasted, alum was. added to aide in flocculation and the skimmer
was turned off to not float the young. sludge.
December 22, 2008 — Fecal Coliform @ >600 colonies/100 misl — increased chlorine dosage

70.00 Enforcement Costs
$270.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and -the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement
action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance / Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below
as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy
of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a
remission request forecloses 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 and agreement
that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes
why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at
the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following
factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment .factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
� t
(2) 'whether the violator &mptly abated continuing environm�k,ril damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding
the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please
be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission
request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of
Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty
(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and
submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the
following address:

Attached are the Civil Assessment Remission Factors for Pleasant Cove Home in Buncombe County.
This W WTP was a wreck until taken over by James & James (Contract operators) several months
ago. They have slowly brought the plant into compliance. The subject of LV-2008-0256 was a single
daily max fecal coliform violation which was immediately corrected by increasing the chlorine feed
rate. The May 2008 DMR indicates compliance. As a reward to James & James for bringing the
WWTP back into compliance, the ARO recommends remission of this penalty. Roy Davis

Dear Mr. Wright:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $752.50

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge

has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring
requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO 075388. The violations which occurred in December
2007 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Havon Inc. violated the terms,

and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-

conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215. 1 (a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements- contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether -one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether -the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support'of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Havon Inc. for the month of October 2007. This review

215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

$165.07 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
�7
. considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;,
(3) 17, whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;.
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order,to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to. an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

$365.07 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the. following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied -to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Dear Ms. Cantwel 1,
The NOV dated 10/15/07 was received by the Pleasant Cove Home and was transferred to me for
response. The NOV was for and elevated 130.0-5 day with a result of 53.4 mg/i and a limit of 30/45 mg/I.
James & James was in the process of bringing this facility back to a continuous opportunity for
Compliance, This was a needed transformation for this treatment plant and a work in progress for the
facility. We instructed the facility as to the type of cleaning agents that could be used without harm to the
facility.
James & James, as you are aware, acquired the facility in much disarray. As pertinent items were
fixed, those items that were of a lesser nature became prevalent. These items were also addressed as they
revealed themselves, but this was over an extended period of time. We believe that we have greatly tamed
the facility, but will have other repairs to make as time progresses.
qThank you, r� n .

$390.45 Enforcement Costs
$1,140.45 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention- of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
a'
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during i.,ormal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings

actions (i. e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 14313-282.1(b), which are
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from
the violation;

(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. 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 the
assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses 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 or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver
and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied
to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment forthe remaining necessary remedial actions.

Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in writing.
The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a bimonthly enforcement
conference and inform you of his decision in the matter -of the remission request. His response will provide
details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that
the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by
the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in
support of your request for remission.
OR
3: Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrativebearing. This
request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the

This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Pleasant Cove Rest Home in the amount of $2100.00 ($2000.00

This assessment is based upon the following facts:
➢ The April 2006 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) within
the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your
NPDES permit. A Notice of Violation NOV-2006-LR-0047 was sent to you dated June 22, 2006 for failure to submit
the April 2006 discharge monitoring reports. You received this NOV on June 26, 2006. Within said Notice, you were
informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in a recommendation for
assessment of civil penalties. As of this date the April 2006 DMR has not been received by the
Department.
➢ The May 2006 DMR was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period in
accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This non -submittal of
the May 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ tracking database and a search of the DWQ Central Files.
A Civil penalty assessment, LR-2006-0025, was mailed to you on July 27, 2006 with a penalty assessment of $600.
➢ The August 2006 was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period in
accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This late submittal. of
the August 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ database and a search of the DWQ Central Files.
➢ The December 2006 was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period in
accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This late submittal of
the December 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ database and a search of the DWQ Central Files.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Pleasant Cove Rest Home violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO068152 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than
$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents, data,

215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b)(8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Secretary
of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I hereby make the
following civil penalty assessment against Pleasant Cove Rest Home.
$ $2000.00 for failing to submit the December 2006 Discharge Monitoring Report within the thirty

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b),
which are
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of. rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment,and Natural
'Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail -Service Center
Raleigh,�North Carolina 27699-1617
M'
2. Submit-2 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 the assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses 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 or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return, to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed
statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the. detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a
bimonthly enforcement conference and, inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission
request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore, it is very,important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative
hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings
and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You, must:

Kerry Becker, of this office, and I found the facility operations and maintenance to be in an unacceptable
condition. Upon arrival, there was a strong odor in the plant. Excessive scum, debris, and solids were
found in the aeration basin, clarifier, and chlorine contact chamber. It appeared that the plant had not had
an operator for several weeks.
In the control panel, the #1 blower was set on manual and was held in place by a piece of paper at the
electronic switch. The timer appeared to be malfunctioning and did not work on automatic. The #2 blower
was not operable.
There were no chlorine tablets in the tablet chlorinator. The effluent was murky.
We were unable to locate the effluent discharge pipe.

NOV-2007-LR-0002
Dear Mr. Fennell, 'Jr:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Pleasant Cove Rest Home in the amount of $1100.00 ($1000.00
civil penalty + $100.00 in enforcement costs).
This assessment is based upon the following facts:
➢ The April 2006 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) within
the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with.the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your
NPDES permit. A Notice of Violation NOV-2006-LR-0047 was sent to you dated June 22, 2006 for failure to submit
the April 2006 discharge monitoring reports. You received this NOV on June 26, 2006. Within said Notice, you were
informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in a recommendation for
assessment of civil penalties.. As of this date the April 2006 DMR has not been received by the
Department.
➢ The May 2006 DMR was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day -reporting period in
accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This non -submittal of
the May 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ tracking database and a search of the DWQ Central Files.
A Civil penalty assessment,.LR-2006-0025, was mailed to you on July 27, 2006 with a penalty assessment of $600.
➢ The August 2006 was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting, period in
accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This late submittal of
the August 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ database and a search of the DWQ Central Files.
➢ You are also required to comply with the June 22, 2006 NOV and submit the April 2006 DMR or face additional
penalties for non -submittal of the April DMR.
➢ Failure to submit the April 2006 DMR within fifteen (15) days receipt of this notice will result in the
assessment of Civil Penalties in the amount of $2100.00.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Pleasant Cove Rest Home violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO068152 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than
$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents, data,

215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b)(8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Secretary
of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and -the Director,of the Division of Water Quality, I hereby make the
following civil penalty assessment against Eden's Glen Mobile Village.

An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b),
which are
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantitybr quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. 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 the assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses 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 or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed
statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1.(b) were
wrongfully applied.to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a
bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission
request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in -support of
your request for remission.
N'
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative
hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings
and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) -on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days as evidenced by a date stamp (not a postmark)
indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's
Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments
may be levied for violations that occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Bob Guerra at (919) 733-5083, extension
