Department of Environmental Quality vs. Town of Mount Olive,
Stipulated Penalty Demand for Violation of Consent Order
EMC SOC S20-002; NOV-2023-DV-0323
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 self -reported Collection System Sanitary.Sewer Overflow (SSO) Reporting
Form, I have concluded that a SSO occurred. Paragraph 3 of the SOC contains a stipulated penalty
of $5,000 per event/day for any reportable SSO, as was noted in the Notice of Violation (NOV-
2023-DV-0323) issued to the Town of Mount Olive on August 18, 2023. The calculated penalty
for the violation listed above was given as $5000.00 in NOV-2023-DV-0323.
