Dear Mr. Stikeleather:
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A.(f), the Division of Water Resources has reviewed your remission request and
supporting documentation received March 6, 2019, and have not found justification to modify the initial
civil penalty assessment of $3,860.86.
Within 30 days of receiving this notice, you shall do one of the following two options:
1. Submit civil penalty assessment payment:
Payment shall be made in the form of a check, money order, or electronic funds transfer made payable
to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality in the amount of $3,860.86. Payment
resolves this civil penalty; however, it does not prevent further enforcement actions for continuing or
new violations. Please submit payment to the following address:
Division of Water Resources
Non -Discharge Branch
ATTN: Erick Saunders
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If payment is not received within 30 days of receiving this letter, your civil penalty remission request
and the Division of Water Resources' recommendation to deny the request will be delivered to the
North Carolina Environmental Management Commission's (EMC) Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee) for final agency decision pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A.(f).
