TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 43-215.6A(c), in determining theamount 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-282.1(b), which are:
(1) 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;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface Water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed. willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Mana.gement Commission has regulatory authority; and.
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR.
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option I: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do plot include waiver
fbrm). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose :further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1.617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1.617

Option 2: 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 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 o-f 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 143B-282,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 o-f 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 Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental 'Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penal
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 remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty 30 da. 's of recei ofthis
notice. The Division of Water Resource's. also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
