Dear Mr. Hale:
The Asheville Regional Office has determined that the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) operating your
NPDES permitted facility does not have the appropriate certification for your Grade II facility. A Notice of
Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement(NOV/NRE)is being issued to you for the
following violations:
1. Failure to designate an ORC of appropriate grade for your wastewater system: 15A NCAC
08G.0201(1) requires the owner of a wastewater system to designate an ORC who possesses a
valid certification for the type and grade at least equivalent to the type and grade of the system.
Your wastewater system is a Grade II, therefore, an ORC of Grade II or higher is required. Your
current ORC, Kevin Bryan, (Certification No.1001239) is only a Grade I certified operator; and,
2. Failure to designate an Operator in Responsible Charge(ORC) of appropriate grade for
your wastewater system: According to the standard conditions, Section C.1. of your NPDES
Permit No. NC0037176, you are required to designate an ORC of equivalent grade to or greater
