the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are. incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing

does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which'pertains to his/her farming, operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment

Subject: ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION OF THE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
Dinnes, Robert - Big Find Gem 4
STATE PERMIT NO. WQ0002387
Macon C_� oun y�3 RV 94-11
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject
facility in the amount of $250.00.
This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the
subject permit was not received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180
days prior to the expiration date contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is
contained in your permit and/or Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)
Chapter 211 .0211.
Based upon the' above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject
facility failed to act in accordance with the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day, in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute (N.C;G.S.) 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person
who fails to comply with the rules.of the Environmental Management Commission.
Based upon the', above facts andconclusions of law, I hereby assess the
subject'facility a civil penalty in the amount of $250.00 for violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0211, pursuant to delegation provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing
violation(s) may be the subjectof a new enforcement action, including an additional
penalty.

regional staff, the civil penalty assessment will be
rescinded; OR
Submit gayment of the penalty:
Payment should be made to the order of the Department of

further enforcement action for any continuing or new
violation(s); OR
4. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation
including a detailed justification' for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to
consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty and is not they proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in this
assessment letter. Because a remission request foreclosures
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 that there are no
factual issues in dispute. You must execute and return the
attached waiver and stipulation form to this office with a
detailed statement which you believe establishes that:
i
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in
G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied t6 the
detriment of the petitioner;
-(b) . the violator promptly abated continuing environmental
damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an
accident;
(d) the violator had; not been assessed civil penalties for
any previous violations; and/or
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for
the remaining necessary remedial actions.

Submit a written request for an administrative hearing_
If you wish to contest this civil penalty assessment letter,
you must request an administrative hearing. This request
must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. A

Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp (not a

Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty.
If it is not demonstrated to us that your conduct of the permitted activity has ceased or will cease by
the permit expiration date, failure to apply for a permit extension within 30 days of receipt of this letter will
result in the assessment of additional penalties. If the permit expired or expires prior to the permit

Dear Permittee:
Our files indicate that thel.subject permit issued on 10/11/89 expires on
9/30/94. We have not received 'a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter requesting renewal and completion of
the enclosed application, submitted in triplicate. A processing fee must be submitted
with the request. Please find attached a copy of the 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c) regulations.
The processing fee for your facility is based on' -the design or permitted flow,
whichever is appropriate, listed in the first four categories of facilities. Sludge
renewals are based on total acres of land permitted. If the facility covered by this
permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative descripton of the sludge
management plan that is in effect at the facility must be submitted with the
application for.renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached); requiring the payment of an .annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if.applicable), after your permit is approved.
Please be advised that this permit must not be allowed to expire. If the renewal
request is not received within; 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date as
required by 15 NCAC 2H .0211, you will be assessed an automatic civil penalty. This
civil penalty by North Carolina 'General Statute may be as much as $10,000 per day. If
a permit renewal request' is notreceived 180 days before permit expiration, a civil
penalty of at least $250 will beassessed. Larger penalties may be assessed depending
