Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the "Request For Remission,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form to request remission of this civil penalty.
You should attach any documents that you believe support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in
evaluating your request for remission. 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. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1 (c), remission of a civil
penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you
believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.I(b) were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
X (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (i.e., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
X (c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
X (d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
X (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions (i.e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve
compliance).
EXPLANATION•
Review of facility log book and EDMR shows historical rainfall events during and around the time of
violations. Such events allowed Rocky River to flood its banks and flood the property contributing to flo%
and treatment violations either by, direct inflow or subsequent low mixed liquor concentrations from
"wash-out". As suggested by your office, the blowers were temporarily turned off to minimize washout
and the facility reseeded. However, the rains returned negating our efforts. Although it was impossible t
distinguish wastewater from flood waters, any remaining solids left on site were removed manually usin
shovels, bags and buckets and disposed. In so much that we, followed the 24hr and 5 day reporting
protocol, promptly attempted to abate further environmental damages, the violation(s) were inadvertent
and out of our control and whereas my client was relieved of additional enforcement action and penaltie
for a similar occurrence in November 2015, we respectually request remission from LV -2016-0146. As
you are aware, my client is actively pursuing a connection with the local municipality and plans are to
abandon their wastewater facility by years end 2016.
