Gentlemen,
This is a request for remission of the$409.26 penalty assessed against United World Mission Inc.
Our permit number is NC 0032174, and case number LV 2015-0101.We feel factor(b)and(e)apply
to our case.
Factor(b)applies to our case based upon parameters(NH3-N)seasonal variance.The sample
results following the February monitoring event reveal:
March 2015 (0.6)April 2015 (0.3) May 2015(0.4)and June 2015 (>0.1)
In order to get these results, United World Mission has added needed alkalinity through the adding of additional
lime and sodium bicarbonate.
Factor(e)applies to our case, as we need the funds in order to continue purchasing the needed chemicals
to keep the alkalinity in our system in balance.
Sincerely,

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-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to
the detriment of the petitioner(the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(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);
(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);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(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).
