Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Stormwater Project SW7970812
97 Terminal Improvements
Craven County
Dear Mr. Braaten:
This letter is to notify you that staff of the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
conducted a compliance inspection at the stormwater treatment facilities serving Craven County Regional Airport on
August 28, 2007. This inspection was conducted in connection with your request for renewal of permit SW7970812.
This inspection revealed that the permitted wet detention pond has not been satisfactorily maintained which is a
violation of permit SW7970812.
Specifically, the inspection revealed that grass on side slopes of wet detention pond has not been mowed to
the maximum height of six inches and there were no records of maintenance activities when I requested. Part II 2.
and 3. of permit SW7970812 issued March 19, 1998 addresses the operation and maintenance requirements for the
wet detention pond. These conditions require that the facilities be properly maintained and operated at all times
including sediment removal.
Please submit a proposed list of maintenance activities and schedule within 30 days of receipt of this letter for
cleaning and returning the wet detention pond to its original design. All work should be completed no later than
September 30, 2007. Please be advised that any violation of the conditions contained in permit SW7970812 may
subject you to appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A which
provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed
against a person who fails to comply with permit conditions.
This office is considering a civil penalty assessment for the above -mentioned violation. Your timely response
will be considered in this decision making process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any
questions regarding this matter please call Ernest Odei-Larbi or me at [phone].
Sincere',
