Department of Environmental Quality vs. Town of Mount Olive,
Stipulated Penalty Demand for Violation of Consent Order
EMC SOC S20-002; NOV-2022-SP-0004
Wayne County
Dear Mr. Talton:
On October 14, 2021, Mount Olive entered Special Order by Consent S20-002 with the. North
Carolina Environmental Management Commission, whereby the .Town of Mount Olive WWTP
and collection system *(Permit No. WQ0029169, Permit No, WQCS00129, Permit No.
NC0020575) is not capable of consistently meeting effluent limits in the current permits due to
infiltration/inflow and treatment issues.
Upon review of the deadline established in Section 2(b) of the SOC for submittal of quarterly
progress reports, I have concluded that a quarterly progress report was not submitted by May 1,
2022, as was noted in the Notice of Violation (NOV-2022-SP-0004) issued to the Town of Mount
Olive on June 2; 2022. Paragraph 3 of the SOC contains a stipulated penalty of $1,000 for the first
violation with the penalty doubling for each violation thereafter. The calculated penalty for the
violation listed above was given as $1,000 dollars in NOV-2022-SP-0004.
