Dear Mr. Nelson:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $561.57 ($525.00 civil penalty
+ $36.57 enforcement costs) against Town of Benson.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) submitted by Town of Benson for the month of June 2021. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit No. NC0020389. The
violations, which occurred in June 2021, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Town of Benson violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NC0020389 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed
against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
