made [per 15A NCAC 02B .0506].

Our records indicate that you received a Notice of Violation () on [Green Card Receipt Date] for the
missing [Month & Year] DMR. Within said notice, you were informed that this office will recommend the
assessment of civil penalties if future reports are not received within the required time frame during the next

Based upon the above facts, I conclude that Town of East Bend violated or failed to act in accordance with the

pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
