Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of thefollowing:
1. Submit payment of the penalO:

OR
2. Submit a written request for remission 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 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 administrativehearing 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 deterntining 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 enviromnental 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 inwriting. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide. details
regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the,
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request realission, you must complete, and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form, within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
