Dear Permittee:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $313.93 ($200.00 civil penalty +

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR)
submitted by Dana -Hill Corporation for the month of January 2016. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES W W Permit No. NC0073393. The
violations, which occurred in January 2016, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Dana -Hill Corporation violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO073393 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(ax2), 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).
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, G. Landon Davidson,
P.G., Regional Supervisor, Asheville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Dana -Hill

2$ 00.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
113.93 Enforcement Costs
313.93 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
r
r

IF 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.I(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 Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thir1y(30)_days of receiot 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

Dear Client,
We are pleased to notify you that your facility operated most of the month within your National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. We did experience a result that was greater than
the permit discharge limits. Your permit has both a monthly maximum and a daily maximum. Your
facility exceeded the permit discharge limits on the items listed below:
BOD 59.4 mg/I on the 7 h
Monthly Average compliant
FECAL COLIFORM
>600 colonies/100 mis on the 7 h
Monthly Average compliant
This gave a daily maximum violation on one day and did not give a monthly violation for both the
BOD and the Fecal Coliform. We determined that the cause of the violation was due to the blower
operating Plant #1 had tripped out over the weekend. The blower was reset, and the water quality did
improve from that facility. The effluent of the other two facilities was very clear and obviously compliant.
The chlorine residuals from the parallel units was near 1.0 mg/1 and the dechlor was <15 ug/I as permitted.
Chlorine tablets were increased on the discharge of plant I and 2 while the plant 1 recovered from this non-
compliant status. The facility regained compliance by the second week.

You may receive a monetary fine for this month. Thank you for your understanding in this
Thank you for choosing James & James as your service company.
