This letter is to inform you that a file review on February 7, 2017 concluded that the Minzies Creek
Sanitary Sewer District has not submitted a quarterly progress report for the October through December
2016 quarter. The failure to complete this task by the date stipulated in the Special Order by Consent is a
violation of the Order. The report was due on February 1, 2017.
The Special Order by Consent contains a stipulated penalty of $250 per violation. The calculated penalty
for these violations is $250 dollars. Paragraph 4 of the Consent Order states in part that the stipulated
penalties are not due if the District satisfies the Division that non-compliance was caused by events or
circumstances beyond the District's control.
If you have justification that this violation was caused by events or circumstances beyond the District's
control, you must reply in writing to the Washington Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of
this Notice. Your justification will be reviewed and a recommendation forwarded to the Director for his
consideration. In the absence of such justification, this Office shall proceed with recommendations that
the Director demand payment of the stipulated penalty as included in the Consent Order.
If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact Robert Tankard at [phone].
