Please make the check payable to NC DEQ, and include the case numbers on the check. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, in accordance with NCGS § 143-215.6A (f), your requests for remission of the civil penalties (with supporting documents) and my recommendation to deny the requests will be delivered to the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission's (EMC) Committee On Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee) for final agency decision.
