Dear Permittee:

On December 31, 2020, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject Special Order by
Consent (SOC) whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent limitations from those imposed by the
NPDES Permit, in exchange for Waynesville’s commitment to a schedule of wastewater treatment plant
improvements that will return the WWTP to compliance with the terms of the NPDES Permit. The SOC contains
provisions for the assessment of stipulated penalties when modified limits are exceeded or schedule dates are not
met.

A review of the August 2021 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the subject facility revealed the violation(s)

You are directed to take any immediate remedial actions necessary to correct the problems that have led to this

SOC. Section IV of the SOC lists certain conditions under which the stipulated penalties are not due.
If you have information that will establish, to the satisfaction of the Division of Water Resources, that the
conditions set forth in Section IV have been met, you must submit this information in writing (email is acceptable)
to the Asheville Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of this notice. If the Division is not satisfied that
the conditions set forth in Section IV have been met, this Office will proceed with assessment of stipulated
penalties as provided in the SOC.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Lauren Armeni of the Asheville Regional Office at
