Dear Mr. Helm:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
This letter is to inform you that a file review on May 1, 2017 concluded that the Minzies Creek
Sanitary Sewer District has not submitted an application for a permit for the construction/modification for a
wwtp/disposal system to meet permit and administrative code requirements that was due December 1,
2016. Please note that Minzies Creek Sanitary District applied for an amendment to the SOC on
December 8, 2016. The SOC was modified and sent to Minzies Creek Sanitary District on January 23,
2017 for their review and signature. On April 5, 2017, this office received their response that Minzies was
not going to sign the SOC Amendment. Therefore, the SOC WQ S13-003, Ad. I is still in effect. The
failure to complete this task by the date stipulated in the Special Order by Consent is a violation of the
Order. The application was due on December 1, 2016.
The Special Order by Consent contains a stipulated penalty of $100 per day for the first 7 days and $250
per day thereafter. The calculated penalty for this violation is $36,700 dollars. Paragraph 4 of the
Consent Order states in part that the stipulated penalties are not due if the District satisfies the Division
that non-compliance was caused by events or circumstances beyond the District's control as outlined in
the SOC.
If you have justification that this violation was caused by events or circumstances beyond the District's
control, you must reply in writing to the Washington Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of
this Notice. Your justification will be reviewed and a recommendation forwarded to the Director for his
consideration. In the absence of such justification, this Office shall proceed with recommendations that
the Director demand payment of the stipulated penalty as included in the Consent Order.
