Permit No. WQ0032229
Obed Place Condos Public Sewer
Brunswick County
Dear Ms. Gaither:
Following an inquiry by a third party consultant regarding the wastewater collection system permits for this
project issued on October 12, 2007, it was determined that the Town had allowed activation of the public
system consisting of a small amount of 8-inch gravity sewer and a pump station to serve a building with three
residential units without submittal of the required engineering certification completed by both the certifying
engineer and Town.
Placement of the system into operation prior to submittal and documented receipt of the engineering certification
is in violation of Condition 6 in WQ0032229 and 15A NCAC 2T.0116.
A Notice of Violation/Intent to Issue Civil Penalty is being issued for the noted violation of North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and the facility's WQCS Permit. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more
than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per day may be assessed against any person who violates or fails
to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
If you wish to provide additional information regarding the noted violation and explain why the Division though
this office should not assess a civil penalty in this matter, please respond in writing within ten (10) business days
after receipt of this Notice. A review of your response will be considered and you will then be notified of any civil
