A response is due in 10 days delineating the cause of the violations and what will be done in order to prevent
violations of this nature from reoccurring. Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct
any noted problems. The Division of Water Resources 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 (SOC). If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Paul Mays
of the Washington Regional Office at 252-948-3940 or via email at [e-mail].
