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 1438-282.1(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.

Results received show violations for TSS & 6005 on Thursday 5/09 2024 and TSS violation on Friday 5/10/2024. Thursday 5/09/2024, and TSS violation on Friday 5/10/2024. Thursday results are BOD =19.7 mg/L, TSS = 338 mg/L. Friday result Is TSS = 87 mg/L. I believe the following are contributing factors to the violation. A clean out and a draw down that week of a liftstation that feeds CPWRC and 2.5 inches of rain that week contributed to the plant upset. I think that the combination of the draw down and rain flushed out material that have been accumulating In the collection system due to flows. Results for the following Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday show that CPWRC is back in compliance.

Upon decommissioning of the Pittshoro WWTP, and upon Division approval of a submitted data review and monitoring frequency reduction justification for each parameter, begin sampling for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, total residual chlorine, pH, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform and conductivity at a monitoring frequency of 3/week. The frequency reduction could he for one or more or all parameters. 5. Total Residual Chlorine limit applies if chlorine or chlorine derivative is used for disinfection.
