Dear Mr. Blackmon:
A review of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) database which tracks the monthly submittal of Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) revealed that the January 2024 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) was not filed
with the Division within the thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is
made [per 15A NCAC 02B .0506].
Report Period Due Date Received Date Days Late
January 2024 3/1/2024 Not Received 21
Our records indicate that you were issued a Notice of Deficiency (NOD-2023-LR-0028) on December 20,
2023, for the late/missing September 2023 DMR. Within said notice, you were informed that DWR may pursue
enforcement action for any additional violations of State law.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude that City of Henderson violated or failed to act in accordance with the
requirements of NPDES Permit NCO083101 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00
per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents, data,
or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violations and prevent further action, please
respond in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice.
Please ensure that the missing DMRs are sent in to the Division. A review of your response will be considered
