Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the
Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, Vanessa
Manuel, Assistant Regional Supervisor, Raleigh Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
Pope Industrial Park II Ltd Partnership:
2$ 83.00 1 of 1 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and Permit No. NC0060526, by discharging waste water
into the waters of the State in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum for BOD, 5-Day (20 Deg. C)
Concentration
2$ 83.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
90.68 Enforcement Costs
373.68 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,_
Waiver of Riaht to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed

Footnotes:
1. The permittee shall submit discharge monitoring reports electronically using the NC eDMR system
application system [see A. (5)1.
2. U: at least 100 feet upstream of the outfall. D: at least 300 feet downstream from the outfalI.
3. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 erg/ 1 to be in compliance with
the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a
North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/l.
4. For a given water sample, TN--TKN+NO2 +NO3-N, where TN is Total Nitrogen and TKN is Total
Kjeldahl Nitrogen.
5. TN load is the mass load of Total Nitrogen discharged in a given period of time [see A. (2)1:
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

A. (2) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
(1) Monthly TN Load (pounds/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the
composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the
month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(2) Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the
calendar year
b. The Permittee shall. report -monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and pounds/month)
in the appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each
year's annual results (pounds/year) with the December report for that year.
A. (3) TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS
(NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
The following table lists the Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation(s) assigned to, acquired by, or
transferred to the Permittee in accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management
rule (T15A NCAC 02B.0234) and the status of each as of permit issuance. For
compliance purposes, this table does not supercede any TN limit(s) established
elsewhere in this permit or in the NPDES permit of a compliance association of which
the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member.

A. (4) AMMONIA REOPENER
(NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
The Division may re -open this permit to require more stringent effluent limits for ammonia
nitrogen (NH3 as N) pending any subsequent rules establishing nutrient restrictions in the
Swift Creek watershed.
