Dear Mr. Fields:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
NOV-2014-1
418 Circle Drive, Gibsonville, NC
Illicit Discharge
Town of Gibsonville
Within the last couple of days Rob Elliott, Gibsonville's Public Works Director, investigated an
illicit discharge on your property. As previously noted the private sewer pump house that serves
the rental residence at 418 Circle Drive, Gibsonville, NC showed evidence of a sewer spill and a
large puddle of sewer was on the ground directly beside the pump house. The sewage discharge
is similar in type and location to previous discharges, including the one December 2013 that was
referenced in NOV 2013-2. A raw sewage discharge represents both an illicit discharge under
Town Ordinance and a public health issue. The Town's Illicit Discharge Ordinance outlaws
water pollution including raw sewage.
ine
Due to the nature and ongoing issues with the discharge, the Town requires that the issue be
resolved as quickly as possible. This should include a pumping and hauling operation to clean
the sewer off the ground and keep the area around the pump house clean immediately. Because
the pump is part of the sewer service, rather than the sewer main, it is the owner's responsibility
to fix the issue. The discharge and the cause of the discharge need to be resolved within 7 days of
this letter, by noon on July 3, 2014.
Failure to respond to this request or failure to clean up the discharge and fix whatever issues may
be causing the discharges will necessitate the Town seeking enforcement actions. These actions
could include the following:
• Payment of a fine up to $37,500 per day after July 3, 2014.
• Deeming the violation a Public Nuisance and requiring cleanup with an assessment to
cover all cost associated with the cleanup and a potential fine.
• Disconnection of water and sewer service.

Please contact Public Works Director Rob Elliott of the Town of Gibsonville or myself upon
receiving this letter in order to discuss cleaning up the spill. Upon completing the cleanup
process, you will need to provide documentation that the source of the spill has been repaired
and establishing that the nearest stream does not have elevated fecal coliform levels. Elevated
fecal coliform levels in the stream may require further remediation efforts.
Rob Elliott is available Monday -Friday at [phone] or at relliottibsonville.net. You
may also contact Town Hall at [phone].
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter
please contact me at [phone] or through email at josh awck.com_
