Dear Mr. O'Brien:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $350.53 ($250,00 civil penalty +
$100.53 enforcement costs) against Athena Cedar LLC.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR)
submitted by Athena Cedar LLC for the month of December 2015. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit No. NCO 03471 1. The
violations, which occurred in December 2015, are summarized in Attachment.A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Athena Cedar LLC violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of PDES WW Permit No. NCO034711 and O.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215,6A(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. Ila).

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. I (b), which are:
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,-

rOption2: 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 remissionis 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 aremission 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 Resources 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 14313-2 82 . 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 roust be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform,you -of his decision in the matter of

Review of facility log book and EDMR show multiple heavy rainfall events during December 2015. The
weeks of 12/6/15 and 12/13/16 were particularly rainy with daily flows of
.074 mgd on the 6th
.062 mgd on the 10th
.069 rngd on the 12th
.094 mgd on the 14th
.069 rngd on the 15th
When these daily flows were averaged, the result was a non -compliant monthly average effluent flow
of .038 mgd, slightly exceeding the permitted monthly average of .030 mgd,. In so much and considering,
the additional flow was unavoidable and could not be prevented or otherwise prepared for and that we
maintained compliance with BOD, TSS, Ammonia Nitrogen and fecal roliform during this unusually "wet"
period, we respectfully request remission from LV-2016-0148.
