OFFICE Subject: Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty for Violation of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(2). Facility #: 82-315 Sampson County Case #: AL 97-013 This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notice of a civil penalty assessed against Henry Moore, Jr. in the amount of $500.00. This assessment is based upon the following facts: A permit for this animal waste management system is required in accordance with NCAC 2H .0217 and G.S. 143-215.1. In accordance with G.S. 143-215.10C, Henry Moore, Jr. was notified by certified mail, which was received on June 17, 1997, of the requirement to apply for coverage under an Animal Waste General Permit within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notification (July 17, 1997). No application from Henry Moore, Jr. has been received as of September 9, 1997. In accordance with Chapter 626 of the 1995 Session Laws (Regular Session 1996), Section 19(c)(2), any owner or operator who fails to submit an application by the date specified by the Department SHALL NOT OPERATE the animal waste system after the specified date. Therefore, the existing animal waste management system is being operated in violation of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(2). Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Henry Moore, Jr. violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(2). A civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. P.O.

S. 143-215.1(a)(2) pursuant to the authority delegated to me by North Carolina Environmental Management Commission Regulation 15 NCAC 2J.0003 and G.S. 143-215.6A(h). If the aforementioned application is not received by the Division of Water Quality Compliance Group office at the letterhead address within 10 days of your receipt of this notice, you will be subject to further civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each day that the application is late. Within thirty.days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form).

Tedder Water Quality Section Chief Division of Water Quality P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 or 2. 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 the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether: (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B -282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to 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 been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please submit this information to the attention of: Mr. Steve W. Tedder Water Quality Section Chief/DWQ P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 OR 3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing: If you wish to contest any portion of the civil penalty assessment, you must request an administrative hearing.

Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for future violations which occur after the review period of this assessment.
