Case Number: t,V-2011-0200
Permit Number: NCO062278
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
Irrigate property resulting from the violation;
No harm has been established.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The BOD concentrations of 42,0 mg/ L and 22 0 mg/ L on April 12, 11. and April 26, 2011, exceeded
the daily maximum permit limit of 14.0 mg by 200% and 57,1% respectively. The BOD monthly
average concentration of 18-0 mg/L exceeded the permit limit of 9.0 mg by 100%,
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The effect on the receiving stream is unknown. BOD is treated as an in -stream toxicant by the State
of North Carolina since it an oxygen -consuming waste" increased concentrations could reduce the
amount of oxygen available to aquatic organisms.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
No damage has been established,
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The Division of Water Quality has no evidence that the violations were committed willfully or
intentionally although the lack of the noted maintenance most likely contributed to the noted
violations,
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 have been 22 previous CPAs for the Berkley Oaks WWTP during the life of the permit with six
CPAs issued in the past twelve months,

The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
The cost to the Division of Water Quality is $13&5T
