discharging waste into the waters of the State in violation
of the Town of Red Springs' permit effluent limit for
chronic toxicity for June 2000.
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is 4
percent of the maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-
215.6A.
$ 72.19 Enforcement costs.
$ 3072.19 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b),
which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose 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.
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the
amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of
the statements contained in the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in
dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form
and a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be
submitted in writing: The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the
information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the
matter of the remission request. His response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental
Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that
the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of
Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the

Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan McLawhorn, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days as evidenced by a date stamp
(not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred
to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement
action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil penalty assessment,
please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Fayetteville Regional Office at [phone].

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM
Please find attached information regarding DWQ's WET Enforcement Policy and how you can '
influence DWQ's enforcement response for effluent toxicity permit limit violations.
NPDES permits are currently being issued/reissued with the requirement to conduct multiple
concentration testing upon a single quarterly failure to meet the chronic toxicity limit. Permittees with
NPDES permits which contain "old" chronic toxicity pass/fail testing language will have the OPTION to
respond to any single quarterly toxicity test failure with follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing
or single concentration toxicity testing, thereby influencing DWQ's enforcement response.
NOTE: Choosing to respond to a chronic toxicity "fail" result with a pass/fail test instead of conducting
multiple concentration toxicity testing during the second and third months of the monitoring quarter
(monitoring quarter defined by your permit) will result in enforcement for single concentration test results
that do not meet chronic toxicity permit limitations.
Important WET Enforcement Policy items are:
-I. CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING
• The first test of the quarter can be conducted as either a pass/fail test or a
chronic value (ChV) test.
• If the pass/fail test fails or if the ChV is lower than the limit, then a NOV is
issued and at least two ChV tests (one per month) will be conducted over the
following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be
accepted.
• A NOV will be issued for any test result failing to meet the permit limit.
• Any civil penalty assessed will be based on performance over a quarter (ie,
chronic values for the second and third months of the monitoring quarter will
be averaged arithmetically and if the average is >_ your chronic permit limit,
then a civil penalty will not be assessed for the monitoring quarter).
• NPDES Permits containing chronic toxicity pass/fail testing will be modified
upon permit renewal to include the new permit language.
II. ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING
• A NOV will be issued for each acute limit violation.
• A civil penalty will be assessed for any two consecutive acute limit
violations.
If you are unable to consistently comply with your toxicity permit limitation, you may notify your
respective Regional Office to discuss the possibility of entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC).
The SOC provides conditional compliance for permit parameters that the facility can not consistently
comply with and may be issued in situations where facility operation and maintenance are not in question.
If a SOC is signed by the permittee/DWQ and contains toxicity as a noncompliant parameter, you will be
required to: conduct a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), submit quarterly TRE progress reports and
eliminate/reduce effluent toxicants to acceptable levels.

August 15, 2000
My staff has received and reviewed Red Springs' 6/5/2000 effluent toxicity test that was conducted by
Water Technology and Controls. Upon closer inspection of the AT-3 form, we noted that this test was terminated
early due to high chlorine and no result was reported for this data. Our office re-evaluated this data and calculated
the result as a chronic value equal to 35.4%; therefore, we have recorded the 6/5/2,000 toxicity test result as such.
Our office informed,Mr. Mohammad Afzal, with Water Technology and Controls, that tests should not be
terminated early due to elevated chlorine. We urge you to discuss this issue with your contract laboratory to ensure
that test termination does not occur in future tests.
If a chronic value was not recorded on Red Spring's monthly monitoring report (DMR) for June, 2000, we •
remind you that the DIvIR submitted to the Division's -Central Files must be amended. The effluent DMR facility
information must be completely filled out (at the top of the sheet), and the form should have "CORRECTED COPY"
written or typed at the top. The parameter code of your particular toxicity test (THP3B) should be re-entered in an
appropriate column, and a chronic value equal to 35.4% should be recorded on this DMR. A brief explanation
should be written on the back of the DMR as to why.the test result for this analysis changed.
If you have any questions regarding test protocols, you are encouraged to call me or Kristie Robeson at
(919) 733-2.136.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
To: Paul Rawls
Fayetteville Regional Office
Through: Matt Matthews ne'N
From: Kevin Bowden Kg
Subject: Proposed Whole Effluent Toxicity Enforcement Action
TX 00-051
Town of Red Springs WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0025577
Robeson County
This office has reviewed the subject facility's whole effluent toxicity compliance data for the
review period April through June 2000. This action has been prepared because the facility did not
achieve compliance with its chronic toxicity permit limit for the above -mentioned review period.
Enclosed please find a proposed Notice of Violation and Civil Penalty Assessment,
Administrative Hearings Waiver Form, Civil Penalty Assessment Addendum and copies of AT test
form(s) for your files. All procedures for mailing the assessment, distributing copies and tracking the
enforcement action, once issued, are identical to procedures for issuing fast track enforcement actions
from the Regional Offices. Aquatic Toxicology Unit Staff have entered initial case information into the
Division's Enforcement Tracking System.
We have proposed the number of assessable toxicity limit violations. Civil penalty assessments
for chronic toxicity permit violations will be based on facility performance for the review period
(quarter).
Our office recommends the subject enforcement action be processed.
If you have any questions, please contact me or Matt Matthews at 733-2136.
