Dear Mr. Sain:
This is to inform you that the Division of Water Resources did not receive your monthly monitoring report for
July 2015. This is in violation of Part II,condition D(2)of the NPDES permit, as well as 15A NCAC 2B .506(a),
which requires the submittal of Discharge Monitoring Reports no later than the last calendar day following the
reporting period. Failure to submit reports as required will subject the violator to the assessment of a civil penalty
of up to $25,000 per violation.
To prevent further action,please submit the reports within fifteen(15) days of receipt of this notice.
If this facility is inactive or not constructed,you may submit a written request to suspend monitoring. The
request should include a begin date and end date for the period of monitoring.
Additionally,this letter provides notice that this office will recommend the assessment of civil penalties if future
reports are not received within the required time frame during the next twelve(12)reporting months. The
Division must take these steps because timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is essential to the
efficient operation of our water quality-programs. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any
questions about this letter or discharge monitoring reports,please contact me at 919-807-6307 or via e-mail at
