Failure to submit a timely DMR can subject you to civil penalty assessments not to exceed $25,000 per
violation. In accord with the NPDES Program, DMRs are due no later than the last day of the month following
the month of reporting, i.e., a June DMR is due no later than July 31 [Part H, Condition D (2); 15A NCAC
2B.506 (a)]. If you have documents proving that this record is in error, please forward them to us. Otherwise,
please submit by August 14, 2017, all DMRs listed in the table above as "Not Received."
Please also note that Ergon Asphalt & Emulsion Inc. now enters a probationary period wherein a repeat
violation for late reporting within the coming calendar year July 2017 — June 2018, may prompt this office to
assess civil penalties.
