Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any noted problems. The Division of
Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional violations. If the violations are of a
continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction
activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent (SOC). The Asheville Regional
Office acknowledges an additional airline has been installed in the contact chamber to increase DO levels.
