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 is 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.l(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.

Refer to the Certificate of Coverage (CoC) for receiving stream classifications. Page 7 of 33 Permit NCG590000 3. Flows < 0.05 MGD shall sample Twice per Month and can estimate or use instantaneous flow monitoring. For instantaneous flow monitoring, the duration of the discharge must be reported on the DMR in addition to the total flow. Flows ? 0.05 MGD shall continuously record the effluent discharge. Facilities shall use the design discharge now as the flow value. Facilities without a design discharge flow shall define flow using the maximum value of all the monthly average discharge flows recorded during the past three years. Facilities proposing an expansion shall determine a maximum design wastewater discharge flow value as part of the facility design. 4. TSS: Permittees discharging to Trout waters shall not exceed a monthly average of 10 mg/L and a daily maximum limit of 15 mg/L. 5. TRC: Limit and monitoring requirements only apply if the facility adds chlorine or chlorine derivatives to water that is eventually discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L 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 µg1L. 6. Turbidity: The Turbidity Daily Maximum effluent limit is 10 NTU for Trout waters and 25 NTU for Lakes and Reservoirs not designated as trout waters. 7. Total Aluminum: This requirement applies only to wastewater discharges from plants that use an aluminum -based coagulant. 8. Total Zinc: This requirement applies only to wastewater discharges from plants that use backwash water treated with zinc orthophosphate. 9. Total Fluoride: This requirement applies only to wastewater discharges from plants that backwash with fluoridated finished water. 10. Total Manganese: This requirement applies only to wastewater discharges into water supply (WS) waters. 11. Ammonia Nitrogen: This requirement applies only to wastewater discharges from plants that use water treated with chloramines (add ammonia to chlorinated water) for backwashing. 12. TN & TP shall be monitored by facilities discharging to NSW waters or facilities with a discharge flow 0.05 MGD. IN = TKN + NO3-N + NOs-N, where TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen and NO3-N + NO2-N are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively. 13. Effluent hardness sampling should be performed in conjunction with testing for hardness dependent metals (cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, silver, and zinc). 14. The Permittee shall sample instream hardness, upstream of the facility's discharge. The sample shall be representative of the hardness in the receiving stream. If the Permittee is a member of the Monitoring Coalition Program, sampling for instream hardness may be waived as long as the Monitoring coalition agrees to sample hardness at the nearest upstream location, at a minimum frequency of quarterly, and the Permittee has obtained approval from DWR-NPDES Permitting Unit that the upstream station being monitored by the Coalition is representative of the receiving stream for this discharge. The Permittee is responsible for submitting instream hardness test results with its permit renewal application package. If Coalition membership is cancelled or the Coalition terminates instream hardness sampling at the approved station, the Permittee will immediately notify the Division and resume sampling for instream hardness, upstream of its discharge. 15. If sampling upstream is not feasible, a waiver for the upstream hardness sampling may be requested by the permittee from DWR. 16. Whole Effluent Toxicity testing shall be performed once per calendar year. See Section D. SAMPLES SHALL BE TAKEN AT THE OUTFALL BUT PRIOR TO MIXING WITH THE RECENING WATERS. THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS. Page 8 of 33
