The Washington Regional Office is considering imposing a statutory sewer moratorium for the
violations of permit conditions. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.67(a) states in part that
no person subject to the provisions ofNCGS 143-215.1, 143-215.108 or 1.43-214.109 shall cause
or allow the discharge of any wastes to a waste disposal system in excess of the capacity of the
disposal system or of any wastes which the disposal system cannot adequately treat Should these
terms be violated, 143-215.67(c) states a moratorium may be imposed "on the addition of waste
to a treatment works" if the treatment works is not capable of adequately treating additional
waste.
The Washington Regional Office is also considering preparation of an enforcement action for the
violation of permit conditions. To prevent further action, carefully review these violations and
deficiencies and respond in writing to this office within fifteen (15) working day of receipt of this
