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

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 Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a

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„must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality 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,

201201959. The Town of Wingate does not dispute the facts of the violation but we ask consider the
following evidence as proof that the town is working to correct the issue as quickly as possible.
The area where the spill occurred is located along 1.5 mile section offorecennoin. From our best
estimate this fnrennain is between 25-35years old,, This iswell within the useful life ofPVC, and these
spills are not aresult of improper maintenance nrneglect, but rather poor installation techniques, We
have had 4 spills over the last year, ail located along this ynrcemain, and all caused because the line was
bed with large rocks imthe trench, During excavation for these repairs wecontinue tofind improper
bedding material, Due to the length of the line and the unpredictability of determining where the next
puncture will occur itisimpossible tocompletely fix the cause of these leaks without replacing this
entire line.
We are currently working on a Wastewater Rehabilitation project with SRF, Rural Center, and CWMTF,
VVehave been awarded $I,0QO'O0Ofrom SRF(S0%principal fmrgiveness/58%low interest |onn),$97,O0O
from Rural Center, and $600,000ofprovisional funding from CVVK4TF Due tocost under runs we
requested tuuse part mfthe SRFfunding torepair the forcennainaswefeel that this isthe priority.
Please see the attached letter and map from Frazier Engineering explaining what we had asked to do.
SRF did not feel that this project was in close enough proximity to the rest of the project tnfund (See
attached email from 0m [o|s\mn), we disagree with this and are still trying toconvince SRFtoallow us
touse funds tmre,pairthis line. The $G8O,0O0from [VVMTFiscontingent upon them receiving money
back from projects that are closings out, This would have tohappen byJune 38`^]O13.this money isnot
guaranteed but we have spoken to Larry Horton with CWMTF and we feel that if funds do become
available vvewill beable to use that tofix the forcemain. The Rural Center has said they believe they
will allow us to use the $97'000to fix the portion of the horcemain that has had the most problems (see

This will buy some time to come up with a plan for replacing the remaining section, All of the leaks have
been in the same general area and we are hopeful that by replacing this section we will eliminate the
problem. Since this spill we have had one other and we request remission on any penalties in light of
the steps the town is taking to ensure a lone term solution to this problem, Please contact the town
with any questions you may have,

Gravity Wastewater % ollection System. Rehabilitation
Force Main Repair/Replacement
Dear Mr. Niland:
We have had several discussions about the sewer force main that services the Rays Branch
Pump Station since beginning the Gravity Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation Project.
All of the discussions were precipitated by a rupture or failure of the sewer force main. Since the
start of the gravity sewer rehabilitation project on July 23, 201.2 there have been four failures on
the force main; four failures in 8 months, The scope of work outlined in the original project was
to CCTV the sewer lines identified in Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey and recommend the
necessary repairs, However, in light of the most recent force main rupture, we recommend the
force main be replaced as a necessary repair based on the failure frequency.
The force main is in the gravity sewer right of way (ROW) and the replacement force main will
be laid parallel to the existing gravity sewer within the existing ROW. Items required for the
construction of the replacement were not bid in the original contract and a price is forthcoming
from the contractor. These items will need to be added to the schedule of values, which are as
follows:
+ Line item for an Air Release Valve (ARV); currently there are no ARVs on the
existing line.
• Line item for fittings, i.e. 6" 11.25, 22.3 & 45 fittings for bends in the force main;
based on failures the existing line was deflected in lieu of using bends in some instances.
Line item for 6" C900 PVC; there is no C900 PVC on the current project,
however we do have a price for 6" PVC, which is comparable in scope, however we will

request the contractor provide us a cost adder for this itet, due to a change in material
from SDR 26 PVC to C900 PVC.
We have a price for the asphalt. repair and vegetative repair is incidental to construction. As for
the ARV vaults, we can use the manhole price for these, since we will be using a 4' diameter
m..anhole for the vault,
The NC -DOT has been contacted and the -own will be able to use the encroachment which
was originally applied for the Sewer Rehab Phase If. it is our intention to keep the replacement
force main in the same easement as the original force main. NC-DENR Water Quality will not
require permitting, due to this being a repair/maintenance which is deemed petitted due to the
foliow,uing: 154 4VCAC O2T O3O3(-1,)
(C) line relocations of the swne pipe size and it in the same right-oJ vay or a zrr rzt;
(D) parallel line installations of the same size and within the right-off'-r,a ,, or easement where
the existing line will be abandoned;
I have been in contact with the contractor about what will be required for the ARV. I
recommend we allow the contractor to submit unit costs for the items identified along with shop
drawings to review and approve. We will compare unit costs with some recent bids to evaluate
and then submit to the Town for approval,
Please call with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
