This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) submitted by Town of Siler City for the month of July 2023.

The violations, which occurred in July 2023, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Town of Siler City violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO026441 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).

Manuel, Assistant Regional Supervisor, Raleigh Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Town of Siler City: 2$ ,080,00 2 of 2 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and Permit No. NCO026441, by discharging waste water into the waters of the State in violation of the Permit Weekly Geometric Mean for Coliform, Fecal MF, MFC Broth, 44.5 C 2$ •080.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY 106.36 Enforcement Costs 2 186.36 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. 143B-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 143B-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 remissionyou must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties Waiver of Right 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.

We called in Eric Howe with Piedmont Chlorinators to help us determine what was going on. After a complete overall of our feed system, we were able to determine that we didn't have much vacuum due to a collapse or damaged line in the system leaving the chemical building on our existing line. We laid a temporary line as we replaced about 400 ft of line and placed it back online. We have since added a secondary feed line to feed at a different location if this happens again in the future.

When we started seeing the results rising, we changed our dosage rate, cleaned the filter walls and the contact chamber, changed the sampling tubing, and cleaned the sam ler u . All of which didn't help We started another CI-2 feed at the beginning of the contact chamber, in addition to our original CL2 line at the junction box before the filters. After doing that we started to sec better results. We were able to show better results towards the end of the month. a m rn QlCo. o 0 O 0 O 0 OD o OD N M O co O cn O m r oo r a� r o N v N yGGj CD An N �!
