Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the
Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, Scott
Vinson, Regional Supervisor, Raleigh Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Town

violation of Permit No. NC0020061.
$50.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$36.57 Enforcement Costs
$86.57 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. i43-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty 1 have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
The duration and gravity of the violation;
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The cost of rectifying the damage;
The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors Iisted below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 1438-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document, you must file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed
when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for official state
holidays. The petition may be filed by facsimile (fax) or electronic mail by an attached file (with restrictions) - provided
the signed original, one (1) copy and a filing fee (if a filing fee is required by NCGS § 150B-23.2) is received in the
Office of Administrative Hearings within seven (7) business days following the faxed or electronic transmission. You
should contact the Office of Administrative Hearings with all questions regarding the filing fee and/or the details of the
filing process.
The mailing address and telephone and fax numbers for the Office of Administrative Hearings are as follows:

One (1) copy of the petition must also be served on DEQ as follows:
Mr. William F. Lane, General Counsel
Department of Environmental Quality
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as evidenced by an internal
date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office for
collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations
that occur after the review period of this assessment.

Dear Mr. Vinson:

The Town of Spring Hope appreciates the opportunity to respond to NOV-2022-MV-0018
dated January 19, 2022. This letter shall serve as the Town's response, and it is our hope
that the additional information provided will result in no further action by the Division.
Monitoring Violation:

Date Frequency Type of Violation
• Ammonia, Total - Quantity 12/31/2021 2X Monthly Frequency Violation
On January 31, 2022, we responded to NOV-2022-MV-0006, dated January 4, 2022, for this
same type of violation. After receiving a second violation for the sample monitoring issue
from December 2021 we reviewed sampling procedures and found the operator is pulling
the sample in the bottle provided by the lab, with the attached chain of custody also
provided by the lab. Although the operator was pulling for this parameter and the lab
was suppling according to the COC, the correct COC was only being sent once a month
instead of twice of a month. We realize that ultimately it is the operator's responsibility
however we do rely on the lab for assistance. The operator has been supplied with the
proper chain of custody internally as to not allow this to happen in the future.
We are implementing a work order program for sampling schedules in order to assist the
operators with their compliance issues.

We believe the WWTP's history of compliance demonstrates the Town's commitment to
operating this facility in a responsible manner. Therefore, we respectfully request that
the Division considers these efforts and take no further action. The Town of Spring Hope
has limited resources and we would much rather dedicate these resources to address
utility operations versus civil penalties. If the Town of Spring Hope can be of any further
assistance or additional information is needed, please contact me at 252-478-5186.
