This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $2,036.57 ($2,000.00 civil

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report

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).
