Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following;
1. Submit payment of the penalty:

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 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 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 G.S. 143B-282.1.(b) were
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 information presented in support, of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and
intbrin you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
