Enforcement File No. PC-2017-0054
Duplin County
Dear Rufus Rouse:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
LINDA CULPEPPER
Interim Director
On December 15, 2017, the Director of Division of Water Resources (DWR) assessed a civil penalty
against you in the amount of $213.00, including $123.00 in investigative costs, for failure to pay the
annual administering and compliance fees.
If any civil penalty has not been paid within 30 days after the final agency decision has been served on the
violator, North Carolina General Statue 143-215.6A (g) allows the Secretary of the Department of
Environmental Quality to request the Attorney General to institute a civil action in Superior Court of any
county in which the violator resides or has his or its principal place of business to recover the amount of
the assessment. The Division has a letter from Duplin County Sheriffs Office that shows you received
the Final Agency Decision on February 7, 2018.
This letter serves as final notice that the Division will proceed to refer your case to the North Carolina
Attorney General's Office unless payment of this civil penalty is received within 10 days of your receipt
of this notice, the North Carolina Attorney General's Office will seek collection through the courts.
Should you have any questions, please contact Miressa D. Garoma at [phone] or Debra Watts at
[phone].
