This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $86.57 ($50.00 civil penalty +

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

Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed
