Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for September 2016

Dear Mr. Owens:
ROY COOPER

Director
On January 7, 2017, the Division issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) against South Fork Industries, Inc.
The NOV was based upon a violation of the reporting requirement by failing to file the September 2016
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) with the Division. within the thirty (30) day reporting period. The
report that was due on November 1, 2016, but was received late on December 10, 2016. Subsequent to
your receipt of 'the NOV,,a representative with South Fork Industries, contacted the Division indicating
that the reason for the report being late was because there was a change in ownership for this facility and
permit. The change in ownership resulted in a delay in being set up for reporting electronically.
Therefore, the new owner did not have timely access to eDMR for the September 2016 report. Our
records indicate that an ownership name change was processed on November -15, 2016 for this permit.
Base on this information, I have withdrawn the NOV against South Fork Industries, Inc. for -the cited
violation and directed that the record of this violation be removed from our files.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions about this letter or
discharge monitoring reports, please contact Derek Denard at 919-807-6307 or via e-mail at
