Dear Ms. Mentore:
A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 24-Hour Reports submitted by
Palme Real Estate Holdings LLC. The Division's Raleigh Regional Office concludes that the Palme Real Estate
Holdings LLC violated Permit Condition I (2) of Permit No. WQCSD0765 by failing to effectively manage, maintain,
and operate their collection system so that there is no SSO (Sanitary Sewer Overflow) to the land or surface
waters and the SSO constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1),
for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1.
The Raleigh Regional Office is providing the Palme Real Estate Holdings LLC an opportunity to provide evidence
and justification as to why the Palme Real Estate Holdings LLC should not be assessed a civil penalty for the
violation(s) that are summarized below:

This Notice of Violation / Notice of Intent to Enforce (NOV/NOI) is being issued for the noted violation. Pursuant
to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed
against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any
permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
This office requests that you respond to this Notice, in writing, within 10 business days of its
receipt. In your response, you should address the causes of non-compliance, remedial actions, and all other
actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. The response to this correspondence will be
considered in this process. Enforcement decisions will also be based on volume spilled, volume reaching surface
waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills or recreational area closures. Other factors
considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of non-compliance, the cost of
rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mitchell Hayes with the Water Quality Section in
the Raleigh Regional Office at 919-791-4200 or via email at mitch.hayes@ncdenr.gov.
