Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
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:

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
