Dear Mr. Khan:
A review of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) database which tracks the monthly submittal of
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) revealed that the October 2017 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR)
was not filed with the Division within the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring
and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Maliks International, Inc. violated or failed to
act in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO032867 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty
of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make
available any documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this
matter may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violations and prevent further action, please
respond in writing within ten (15) days of receipt of this notice.
Please ensure that the missing DMRs are sent in to the Division. A review of your response will be considered
and you will be notified of any civil penalties that may be assessed regarding these violations. If no response
is received in this Office within the 15 -day period, a civil penalty may be assessed.
