This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of February 2012 indit
the toxicity limitation specified in your DES Permit.
You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity vie
forts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (), a site -specific study designed to identify t t

effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for
DES permit limitations and requirements.
The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoi
Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (Pr
