Dear Mr. Coates:
The Division of Water Resources staff has reviewed the plans and specifications for the City of Asheville's
Craven Street Improvements stormwater system and has determined that the project, as proposed, will comply
,-vith the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and Session Law 2006-246. The
Division of Water Resources is forwarding Permit No. SWl 130701 dated September 3, 2013, for the
construction, operation and maintenance of the subject project and the stormwater control systems (also referred
to as Best Management Practices—BMPs).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions
and limitations as specified therein.
Please be aware of the following concerns regarding the project:
• The site drainage areas must be stabilized before BMPs are put in place.
• Please pay special attention to the Operation and Maintenance (O&M)requirements in this permit.
Failure to establish an adequate system for inspection and maintenance of the stormwater BMPs may
result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request
an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30) days following receipt of this permit.

The Division of Water Resources (DWR)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality
Certification application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required
in order to complete the review process.
1. The US Army Corps of Engineers has identified several areas of concern(please see attached e-
mail) and potential non-permitted impacts. Prior to further processing of this application,the
Division of Water Resources will need documentation that these issues have been resolved and
addressed with an updated application identifying all impacts.
2. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission has identified potential temperature and minimum
release issues with the existing application(Please see attached e-mail). You must address these
issues with a plan that shows that the proposed impoundment will not result in water quality
standard violations in the updated application.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below. Four copies of the required information should
be provided to the Wetlands,Buffers, Stormwater Compliance and Permitting Unit at:

Subject: Keisler Dam application questions
Gentlemen,
I went to the site and was wondering is the application for Kiesler dam project complete—do you want comments from
me at this point? There are several things that confuse me or that are questions. They are as follows:
1. The stream actually appears to be a UT to Trays Island (C HOW+)and not the horsepasture. There used to be
brook trout downstream of the site (too small for fish they at the site), but they seemed to have been knocked
out downstream of the horse barn area.
2. There looks like a small area of wetland just above the culvert though I did not look at the soil,which ain't deep.
3. The plan shows 130 feet of stream impact for the dam, but only 72 feet on the impact table. If the flooding is
only 77 feet of stream,then the impoundment would be nearly 168 feet wide. I don't think the math works out,
but I could be wrong.
4. The temperature of the stream last week near midday was 16.5 C. Even a small pond (<0.1 acre)would warm
considerably this small stream based on a few data points I've collected this summer from much smaller
impoundments. Heck, I wonder if it would have any outflow in normal summers with a 0.3 acre pond on it. If
some trees are left on either side of the south facing pond,which would be good for at least some shade,they
likely would transpire all inflow. Would those questions need to be addressed?
,.Please let me know how you want me to proceed. I'll will be glad to go ahead and submit formal comments if you wish.
Thanks

Yes, I checked this site yesterday&the Keisler dam site has existing non-permitted impacts for the driveway culvert&
driveway to stream and wetlands. Been thinking hard on this one,feeling strongly to require a JD to determine the
exact existing impacts&the proposed impacts. Also, already have asked USFWS to comment due to close proximity to

County staff have relayed that the proposed impoundment excavation may be a wetland feature. ?
Thanks,
Kevin

Dear Mr. Cabe:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report from the
inspection conducted on September 5, 2013. The facility was found to be in compliance with
permit NC0021547.
Inspection Summary and Recommendations:
Operations and Maintenance:
The WWTP staff are highly trained, motivated and are doing an excellent job.
They appear to be dedicated, conscientious, hardworking and take pride in what they do.
They are to be commended for their leadership, outstanding work performance and team
efforts.
The WWTP appears to be properly operated, maintained and in compliance with permit
limits.
The plant was operating well and the effluent was clear at the time of the inspection.
Compliance:
There is an excellent history of compliance with permit limits.
There were, however, two weekly average permit limit violations in January 2013 (BOD &
TSS), as a result of extreme rainfall events. There were 16.8 inches of rainfall during the
month, which was 11 inches above normal. The recent WWTP upgrades will allow more
flexibility in operations and ensure consistent compliance.

SUBJECT: Collection System Inspection
Morganton Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00028
Burke County
Dear Mr. Boris:
On August 14, 2013, 1 conducted an inspection of the Morganton Collection System. The
facility was found to be marginally compliant with permit WQCS00028. The primary area
' of the program with compliance issues noted during the inspection is the pump stations'
- maintenance. It was reported that at least 6 of the 30 pumps are inoperable or in need of
repair. The log sheets which were evaluated indicated ongoing problems with the pumps.
Other minor maintenance needs at the pump stations as well as a need for improved
record keeping was also noted during the inspection. The enclosed inspection report has
additional observations and comments for your review.
Please respond to me in writing by October 4, 2013, regarding the pump stations'
maintenance issues.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be

,miffed, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or aresult of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30)days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that

Dear Mayor Cohen:
On December 1, 2010, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject
Special Order by Consent (SOC) whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent limitations for
BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform from those imposed by the NPDES Permit, in exchange for Morganton's
commitment to a schedule of wastewater treatment plant improvements that will return the WWTP to
compliance with the terms of the NPDES Permit. The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of
stipulated penalties when modified limits are exceeded or schedule dates are not met.
A review of Catawba River Pollution Control Facility WWTP'smonitoring report for June 2013
showed the following violations:
Parameter Date Interim Limit Reported Value Limit Type
BOD 06/30/2013 60 mg/I 90.7 mg/I Monthly Average Exceeded

TSS 06/15/2013 150 mg/I 212.8 mg/I Weekly Average Exceeded
You are directed to immediately take whatever remedial actions are necessary to correct the
problems that have led to this violation. Section III of the SOC stipulates that a penalty in the amount of

$1,000 be paid for noncompliance with any modified limit contained in the SOC. However, Section IV of the
SOC lists circumstances under which stipulated penalties are not due, essentially stating this provision is
applicable when the Division of Water Quality can be satisfied the non-compliance was caused by events
or circumstances beyond the control of the Catawba River Pollution Control WWTP.
If you have information that will prove to the Division that any or all of the criteria set forth in Section
IV have been met, you must submit this information in writing to the Asheville Regional Office within ten
(10) days after receipt of this notice. In the absence of evidence justifying the application of the provision
within Section IV, this Office will proceed with assessment of stipulated penalties as provided for in the
SOC.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Spruce Pine WWTP
Pretreatment Compliance Inspection
Permit No: NCO021423
Mitchell County
Dear Mr. Canipe:
On August 20, 2013, 1 conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Spruce Pine
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The WWTP was found to be in compliance with
permit NC0021423. However, the overall facility rating is marginal since it is operating
with elevated solids levels due to issues with the bar screen and sludge components.
These issues need to be evaluated and resolved as soon as possible to avoid effluent
limit violations.
I also conducted a Pretreatment Compliance Inspection of the Spruce Pine Pretreatment
Program. The program was found to be in compliance with applicable pretreatment
regulations. Please be reminded that the Short Term Monitoring Plan (STMP) sampling
should begin August 2014 with Head Works Analysis due 9/1/2015. The STMP data
should be included on your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). The Industrial Waste
Survey is due 5/1/2014.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection reports for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

Issues at the bar screen and the sludge areas are causing the plant to operate with elevated solids. The bar
screen operates poorly and is in need of repair or replacement. Mechanical components (motor, shaft)
associated with the oxidation ditch are needed. Sludge operations have been compromised due to
chemicals. During a phone conversation on September 9, 2013, with Richard Canipe (Town Manager), he
stated that the town has employed a consultant to evaluate options for the bar screen. The parts needed for
the oxidation ditch have either been ordered or are onsite already, and they are working with the chemical
company to resolve the sludge problems.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Bonar Non-Contact Cooling Water
Permit No: NCG500608
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Nauert:
On September 4, 2013, 1 conducted an inspection at the Bonar facility in Enka NC.
Present during the inspection were Landon Davidson with the Division of Water
Resources, Ben Farmer and Earl Cheatham with Bonar, and Dan March with Pisgah
Environmental Services. The facility has a General Wastewater Permit (NCG500608) for
the discharge of Non Contact Cooling water into waters of the State. However, it was
reported during the inspection that Bonar is not discharging this water into the nearby
receiving stream, but into the Metropolitan Sewerage District (MSD) sewer system.
Therefore, the subject permit is not needed and it is suggested that Bonar rescind this
permit. To rescind this permit simply send me (Linda.Wiggs(&-ncdenr..qov) and Bob
Sledge (Bob.SledgeCcD-ncdenr.gov) with the Central Office permitting staff an email stating
the permit is no longer needed by Bonar. I will confer with Bob Sledge there is no longer
a discharge and the permit can be rescinded.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Linda Wiggs

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) �-
Present during the inspection were Landon Davidson (Division of Water Resources), Ben Farmer and Earl
Cheatham (Bonar), and Daniel March (Pisgah Environmental Services).
With the assistance of Mr. March, Bonar personnel attempted to delineate historic pipelines, their contents,
point of origin and endpoint. Their evaluation determined all pipes that carry any type of wastewater go to
the onsite lift station for discharge to the Metropolitan Sewerage District (MSD) line. The content of these
lines is comingled industrial process wastewater, domestic wastewater, non-contact cooling wastewater,
along with ground water infiltration and stormwater inflows (I & 1). If indeed all wastewater from this facility
is discharged to MSD and not to waters of the State,then it is not necessary to maintain wastewater permit
coverage.
The current water quality permit(NCG500608) held by Bonar is a General Wastewater Permit specifically
for the discharge of Non-Contact Cooling wastewater to waters of the State. No other wastewater(i.e.
industrial process wastewater, domestic wastewater) can legally be discharged with this General Permit.
Therefore, the comingled wastewater mentioned above is not allowed to be discharged to waters of the
State under this permit, under any circumstances.
Bonar would have to apply for an Individual Wastewater Permit if they wanted to discharge those
wastewaters to the stream. This site has been down this road historically and had gotten out of the
wastewater business when it disassembled/closed out its wastewater treatment units.
If you want to discharge under the current General Wastewater Permit you will have to separate out the
Non-Contact Cooling water from other wastewater, analyze that water for compliance with the Effluent
Limitations in Part I A.(1), and submit up to date Biocide/Chemical Treatment work sheets for each chemical *,
used.
Given that Bonar is discharging to the MSD system and not to waters of the State, it is suggested Bonar
request the General Wastewater Permit(NCG500608) be rescinded.

there was an NPDES Individual Wastewater Permit (NC0000299)associated with their
industrial process wastewater. That permit was rescinded in 2002 when wastewater
was pumped to MSD via a lift station.
MSD PRETREATMENT NOTE: MSD maintains contact with this facility under their
local permits, but does not have Bonar as a SIU/CIU.

Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$347.50
($200.00 civil penalty+ $147.50 enforcement costs) against Riverwind Homeowners Association
Inc.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Riverwind Homeowners Association Inc. for the month of
May 2013. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0076708. The violations
which occurred in May 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Riverwind Homeowners Association
Inc. violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO076708 and G.S. 143-
2 15.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson, Division of Water Resources
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Riverwind Homeowners Association Inc.:

$200.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$147.50 Enforcement Costs
$347.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention o£
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present during the inspection were James Fox, David Stout and Tom Gibson.
If the facility can work it out with the City of Lenoir, they should consider tying into the sewer system.
If the facility does not tie into the sewer and maintains this permit the items noted below will need to be
addressed:
*They will need to submit biocide/chemical worksheets for the chemicals currently used in the boiler system.
*Because chemicals are used in this system they will need to sample for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
according to the permit.
*We clarified sampling procedures for representative samples upstream and downstream of the effluent
with regard to timing to make sure the downstream sample is obtained in concert with the boiler effluent
discharge.
*A new temperature probe will be needed. The current instrument is reading approximately 10 degrees
lower than the actual temperature.
Samples obtained during the inspection are as follows:
Effluent:
State readings - pH=9.76, T=33.8 C(92 F), COD 20 mg/I
Facility readings—pH=9.7, T=78F
Upstream:
State readings—pH=8.40, T=22.5 C (72 F)
Facility readings—pH=8.1, T=64 F
f" `1
Downstream:
State readings—pH=8.75, T=25.0 C (77 F)
Facility readings—pH=8.8, T=68 F

I. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
A review of records confirmed that neither the DWR nor the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE)has received an application for a 404 Permit or 401 WQC. Such
an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Part 15A of
North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0500.
REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWR requests that you respond by October 23,2013. Your response should be sent to the
attention of Tim Fox, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC 28778 and
should address the following items:
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit
pertaining to the culvert installation that has occurred. A 401 WQC will be
required if the activities are permitted by the Corps. The application process as
described does not guarantee the impacts will be approved.
2. Restore the stream to pre-existing conditions.
a. includes the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
If pursuing Option 1:
1. Contact the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting needs of
the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is (828)
271-7980.
2. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification(401 WQC application) submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2:
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. You
must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to assist
you with development of your plan and authorization necessary to achieve
compliance.

i
The plan must include the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel
as well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream. Refer to the
attached Stream Restoration Plan Guidance.
It is recommended that your consultant contact Tim Fox of the Asheville Regional
Office for additional guidance during plan development. The plan should include the
following:
b. A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and complete
the restoration work.
c. Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Tim Fox.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Resources
regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be encountered. Your
above-mentioned response to this correspondence will be considered in this process. This
office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated immediately. These
violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to
_ $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Should you have any questions regarding these
matters,please contact Tim Fox at(828) 296-4500 or [e-mail].

$147.50 Enforcement Costs
$597.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B- i
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

.:pare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
-- you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Vista Developers, LLC violated the

manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the

$266.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed l
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty

,essment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
nearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
