Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any noted problems. The Division of
Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional violations. If the violations are of a
continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial
construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent (SOC).
It is our understanding that this facility was directly impacted by the hurricane, but was still utilized as a shelter
afterwards which was not necessarily the best decision especially if other options were available and ideally on a
larger sewer system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Dean Hunkele of the
Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7215.
Sincerely,
