Dear Mr. McNeely:

MOORESVIL WQROS
E REGIONAL OFFICE
A final agency decision on your request for remission of the subject civil penalty will be made
by the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee) of the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) on Thursday, March 10, 2022.
You have communicated that you wish to make an oral presentation of your remission request
before the Committee. Please come prepared to present your remission request at this meeting.
You will be allowed approximately five (5) minutes to speak. Please be advised that the
Committee cannot consider any information other than that submitted in the original remission
request. Please note, the State Bar's recent Opinion regarding the unauthorized practice of law
affects your method of presenting at the Committee.
If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral
presentation before the Committee, then you do not need legal representation before the
Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak on your behalf regarding
the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at
the meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an
oral presentation before the Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State
Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law without a license if he or she is not a
licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible. Also, be advised that the
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with the hearing of a case if
the Committee is informed that a potential violation regarding the unauthorized practice of law
has occurred.
