Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of: Gwyn McCullough PERCS Unit Division of Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such • request: 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. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment,and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.

General Laboratory (note any exceptions in section XI) Are instruments, meters, probes, photometric cells, etc. maintained in good condition? ® Yes ❑ No Are standards, reagents and consumables used within manufacturer expiration dates? ® Yes ❑ No [TRC gel standard is exempt.] Date of sam•le collection* _Time of sample collection* Sam•le collector's initials or si•nature Date of sam.le anal sis* Time of sample anal sis'` Anal st initials or si•nature Sample location *Date and time of sample collection and analysis may be the same for in situ or on-site measurements. Total Residual Chlorine meter make and model: Is a check standard analyzed each day of use? (Circle one: gel or liquid standard) Yes No What is the assigned/observed value of the daily check standard? Is a 5-point calibration verification performed? Note date of last verification: Yes No Alternatively, does the lab construct a linear regression, using 5 standards, to calculate Yes No results? Note date of last calibration curve constructed: True values: ❑ pg/L ❑ mg/L Obtained values: ❑ pg/L ❑ mg/L What program are samples analyzed on? Are results reported in proper units? Check one: ❑ pg/L ❑ mg/L Yes No Are results reported between the facility's permit limit and the compliance limit of 50 pg/L? Yes No If value is less than the low standard, report as "<x", where x=low standard conc. Are sam•les anal zed within 15 minutes of collection? Yes No pH meter make and model: Hack 440d Is the pH meter calibrated with at least 2 buffers per mfg's instructions each day of use? ® Yes ❑ No Note buffers used: 4,7,10 Is the pH meter calibration checked with an additional buffer each day of use? Note check ® Yes ❑ No buffer used:7, the same buffer as the one used for calibration. Does the check buffer read within ±0.1 S.U. of the known value? ® Yes ❑ No Are the following items documented: Meter calibration? ® Yes ❑ No Check buffer reading? ® Yes ❑ No Are samples analyzed within 15 minutes of collection? ®Yes ❑ No Are sample results reported to 0.1 pH units? ® Yes ❑ No What instrument(s) is used to measure temperature? Check all that apply: ❑ pH meter ❑ DO meter ❑ Conductivity meter ❑ Digital thermometer ® Glass thermometer Is the instrument/thermometer calibration checked at least annually against a NIST ® Yes El No traceable or NIST certified thermometer? Are temperature corrections (even if zero) posted on the instrument/thermometer? ® Yes ❑ No Are samples measured in situ or on-site? [REQUIRED -there is no holding time for ® Yes ❑ No temperature] Are sam•le results resorted in de•rees C? ® Yes ❑ No DO meter make and model: Is the air calibration of the DO meter performed each day of use? Yes No Are the following items documented: Meter calibration? Yes No Are samples analyzed within 15 minutes of collection? Yes No Are results resorted in m•/L? Yes No Conductivity meter make and model: Is the meter calibrated daily according to the manufacturer's instructions? Note standard Yes No used (this is generally a one-point calibration): Is a daily check standard analyzed? Note value: Yes No Are the following items documented: Meter calibration? Yes No Are samples analyzed within 28 days of collection? Yes No Are results resorted in mhos/cm some meters dis•Ia esuivalent S/cm units ?
