Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Depai tiiient of Environment and Natural
Resources (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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

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 listed
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 Quality 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 143B-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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

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 original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office
of Administrative Hearings. The petition may be faxed - provided the original and one copy of the
document is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings within five (5) business days
following the faxed transmission. The mailing address for the Office of Administrative Hearings

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.

Thewastewater facility hasmade create strides since the plant upset in November 2013. As described in the
November discharge monitoring report the facility was receiving slug loads of organic waste from Trinity
Frozen Foods, its newest industry.
The Golden Leaf Foundation has awarded Pembroke and Trinity a $1.2 million pretreatment facility to which
both parties are submitting the required documents such as the deed and operation and maintenance agreement.
Ted Lord, the administrator has agreed to release funds as early as this week to begin phase 1 ofthe pretreatment
project.
In the interim additional options fordisposal were considered such as land application and hauling to another
facility. While those options were considered a rotary drum press was ordered and placed in the food
processing line the first week of April. Two samples for BOD and TSS have been analyzed; the BOD was
reduced from 6200 mg/1 to 2152 mg/, the. TSS remained at 900 mg/1. The 65% reduction of BOD and
installation of addition equipment will further reduce the loading to the facility.
NCRWA along with a microbiologist made several on -going site visits for trouble shooting the wastewater
facility as well as Trinity Frozen Foods. The wastewater plant has increased operational monitoring and hired
an analyst/operator to assist us in this endeavor.
In addition to the above improvements Pembroke is making great strides with the Pretreatment Program. The
updated ordinance has been approved by the PERC unit and the Town Council. A set monitoring program is in
place for all industries as well as an advisory meeting to introduce the program, the requirements, and best
management practices for waste disposal. The enforcement response plan along with the resource plan has
submitted to the PERC unit.
(

The wastewater facility has had no subsequent violations and wishes the division to consider these preventive
measures while considering addition action. The Town of Pembroke will gladly answer any questions the
division may have and we would like to thank the department for the support we receive.
Sincerely,
. Amira L Hunt
Interim Manager
