You will then be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding the violations. If no response is received
in this Office within the 10-day period, a civil penalty assessment may be prepared.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. The Division of Water Quality
may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional violations. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not
related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish
to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. You may contact Mark Brantley, Environmental Chemist, of this
Office for additional information.
Sincerely,
Belinda S. Henson
