A revised EDMR should be submitted to correct the Flow for April 2018 along with Composite Sample Times.

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).

If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Janet Cantwell of the
Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
