Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV-2018-PC-0400)
Site Number: WT002590
T&M Auto Sales facility
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Robbins:
On October 18, 2018, Isaiah Reed from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources (DEMLR), visited the subject site located at 1875 Harris -Henrietta Road in
Henrietta, Rutherford County, North Carolina. The site visit and file review revealed that T&M Auto
Sales has neither applied for, nor obtained coverage under, an NPDES General Permit No. NCG100000
(Used Motor Vehicle Parts and Automobile Wrecking for Scrap) for stormwater discharges from the site.
The site currently discharges stormwater affected by processes on site to an unnamed tributary of the
Second Broad River (WS-IV).
An NPDES permit is required to discharge stormwater to waters of the state in accordance with G.S. 143-
215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known as NCAC) 2H .0126.
Enclosed with the inspection report is a copy of Notice of Intent (NOI) that shall be filled out and
submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice.
Submission information can be found in the NOI.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above,
be properly resolved. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. Your efforts to undertake activities to bring the
subject site into compliance are not an admission, rather they are actions that must be taken in order to
begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues. The timeliness with which you submit an NOI, the degree
and extent of harm to the environment, and the duration and gravity of the violation(s) will be considered
in any civil penalty assessment process that may occur. Should you have any questions regarding these
matters, please contact Isaiah Reed or myself at (828) 296-4500.
