Dear Permittee:
A review of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) database which tracks the monthly submittal of Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) revealed that the May 2023 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) was not filed with
the Division within the thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made
[per 15A NCAC 02B .0506].
Report Period Due Date Received Date Days Late

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
twelve (12) reporting months.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude that Nature Trails Association CLP violated or failed to act in accordance
with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO043257 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than
$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any
documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be
assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
