This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report

Based upon the above facts,I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of NPDES WW Permit No.NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.l(a)(6)in 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 Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources,I, G.Landon Davidson,
P.G.,Regional Supervisor,Asheville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Buncombe

$100.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$118.68 Enforcement Costs
$218.68 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(30) days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality(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:
Wastewater Branch
_ Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

iption 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 you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative heariniz with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$337.00
($200.00 civil penalty+ $137.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is baged upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of February

and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in February 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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).

$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$337.00 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. 14313-
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 Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 81.75 %and 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost keeping the chlorine contact
basin clean before there is a violation.
The amount of money saved would also include the time to check the chlorine
tablets in the tube dispensers to make sure they are working properly.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil,penalty assessment in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of February

occurred in February 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by

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

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

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 Quality
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 Quality 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) wlreth-er-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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality also requests that

be submitted to the following address:

$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. 14313-
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;

(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
1.617 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 procedf re 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 remirn request will be approved,the follow, 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

County: Buncombe
Case Number: LV-2014-0023
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 162.5 % & 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost of maintenance and
replacement of equipment (blower motor)vital to the quality of the effluent.
A spare blower motor should be kept on site in case one breaks.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been two civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into

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 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 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:

Violator: Buncombe County Schools/Fairview Elementary/ NCO066788
(November 2013 DMR)
County: Buncombe
Case Number: LV-2014-0023
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 162.5 %&505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost of maintenance and
replacement of equipment (blower motor)vital to the quality of the effluent.
A spare blower motor should be kept on site in case one breaks.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been two civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$337.00
($200.00 civil penalty+ $137.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of December
2012. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in December 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
Buncombe County Schools:

in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum limit for FEC COLI.
$200.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$337.00 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. 14313-
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 Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR

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

conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).

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. 14313-

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 Quality
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 Quality 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 143 B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
- -- (2) --whether-the-vinlatoxpromptly_-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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Parameter Date Limit Value Reported Value Limit Type
Flow, in conduit or thru 08/31/2010 0.011 mgd 0.012 mgd Monthly
treatment plant Average
Exceeded
It was also noted that the Compliance box on the back of the DMR was marked "Compliant"when in
fact it should have been marked "Non-Compliant" with an explanation for the non-compliance.
Remedial actions should be taken to correct this problem. The Division of Water Quality may pursue
enforcement action for this and any additional violations of State law. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at 828/296-4600.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Fairview Elementary School WWTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.011 MGD extended
aeration with: influent pumps; manual bar screen; flow equalization basin with audible and
visual alarms; aeration basin with blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with sludge return;
aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; dechlorination unit; flow
recorder and stand-by natural gas generator.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION/LOG:.
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-17-2008 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 12-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 7.2 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.2 units --- Hydrated lime, sodium bicarbonate and soda ash were added to raise
the pH and increase the alkalinity.
Dissolved Oxygen =2.96 mg/I --- The timers were adjusted to increase aeration on
Saturday(2/20/10), due to a school make-up day.
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3
mg/l. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration
timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. -
Settleable Solids = 280 ml/I =28%
Tip: Using the settleability test,the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so
that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the
settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a
seftleometer. For example, a settleability of 30%would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge
Page# 2

C) ( �
Permit: NCO068788 Owner-Facility: Fairview Elementary School
Inspection Date: 02/19/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained.
If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably
recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows: -
pH = 6.2 units
Temperature= 7.2 degrees Celsius
Chlorine= 12 ug/I
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/ EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Kenneth Henson, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining
.the facility very well.
The effluent was clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for
submittal of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units/Process Control Testing/ Effluent Data:
This facility consists of a Purestream metal package plant.
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 13.4 degrees Celcius
pH =6.95 units
Dissolved Oxygen = — 1.0 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids=400/1000 ml/I =40%
The excess solids were pumped on 12/1412008.
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30%would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless
the sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = —1.0 mg/I
pH =6.95 units -
Temperature = 13.4 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = 22 ug/I
The operator uses a Hach DR 2800 spectrophotometer to analyze the total residual chlorine.

Dear Mr.Edwards,
This letter is written on behalf of the Buncombe County Schools to provide information as to remedial
action taken to the above referenced facility. RPB Systems,Inc.is the contract operations firm,which
operates this facility.
The plant had a 980#/100ml daily maximum reported on 4-26-07. We did not have an indication of a bad
sample at the time. The shortfall of low or no chlorine residuals leaving the facility is trapped bacteria
within the dechlorination chamber. We have tried to keep these chlorine/dechlorination chambers as clean
as possible.
I ttLb.n
rustttyou will call if you have any further questions or concerns.

Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesfing whether the violations)
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $218.68 ($100.00 civil penalty +
$118.68 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of September 2017. This review has shown the subject
facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES WW Permit No.
NC0066788. The violations, which occurred in September 2017, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated the terms, conditions or
requirements of NPDES WW Permit No. NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in 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 Environmental Quality and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson,
P.G., Regional Supervisor, Asheville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Buncombe

$118.68 Enforcement Costs
$218.68 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 (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (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:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

V
:Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
reques:
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 th' (ut Q0) 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:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
,qlm
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed
when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for official state
holidays. The petition may be filed by facsimile (fax) or electronic mail by an attached file (with restrictions) - provided
the signed original, one (1) copy and a filing fee (if a filing fee is required by NCGS § 15013-23.2) is received in the
Office of Administrative Hearings within seven (7) business days following the faxed or electronic transmission. You

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as evidenced by an internal
date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office for
collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations
that occur after the review period of this assessment.

penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you

something you could not prevent or prepare for);

Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $337.00
($200.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is baled upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County .Schools for the month of February
2013. This review has shown the subject facility to be in vidlation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in February 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
Buncombe County Schools:

in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum limit for FEC COLI.
$200.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$337.00 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:
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 Quality
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 Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

' , 1
(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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please

Case Number: LV-2013-0104
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 81.75 % and 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost keeping the chlorine contact
basin clean before there is a violation.
The amount of money saved would also include the time to check the chlorine
tablets in the tube dispensers to make sure they are working properly.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil, penalty assessment in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$137.00.

(February 20131)11R)
County: Buncombe
Case Number: LV-2013-0104
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 81.75 % and 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost keeping the chlorine contact
basin clean before there is a violation.
The amount of money saved would also include the time to check the chlorine
tablets in the tube dispensers to make sure they are working properly.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil penalty assessment in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$137.00.

Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $337.00
($200.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of February
2013. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in February 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

$337.00 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. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

(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;

(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:
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 Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings

Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please
be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review
period of this assessment.

Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hall:
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 Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of November
2013. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCOO66788. The violations which
occurred in November 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCOO66788 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in
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
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 Buncombe County Schools:

$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 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 remis.__. n request will be approved, the follov' factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalt '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

Case Number: LV-2014-0023
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 162.5 % & 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost of maintenance and
replacement of equipment (blower motor) vital to the quality of the effluent.
A spare blower motor should be kept on site in case one breaks.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been two civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Mr. R. Belvin Hall
Buncombe County Schools

Asheville, North Carolina 28806
SUBJECT: Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty
for Violations of North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6)
and NPDES Permit NCO066788
Buncombe County Schools
Fairview Elementary School WWTP
Case No. LV-2014-0023
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hall:
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 Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of November
2013. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in November 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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
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 Buncombe County Schools:
Water Quality Regional Operations — Asheville Regional Office

$200.00 NC0066788, by discharging waste water into the waters of the State
in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum limit for FEC COLI.
$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:
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:
Point Source Compliance/ Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings
accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for
official state holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office
of Administrative Hearings. The petition may be faxed - provided the original and one copy of the
document is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings within five (5) business days
following the faxed transmission. The mailing address for the Office of Administrative Hearings
is:

Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714

and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please
be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review
period of this assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact Janet Cantwell of the Water Quality staff of the
Asheville regional Office at 828-296-4500.

DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES - CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT (FILE)
Violator: Buncombe County Schools / Fairview Elementary / NCO066788
(.tiocember 2013 Di1R)
County: Buncombe
Case Number: LV-2014-0023
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in 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;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 162.5 % & 505 %.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would include the cost of maintenance and
replacement of equipment (blower motor) vital to the quality of the effluent.
A spare blower motor should be kept on site in case one breaks.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been two civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Fairview Elementary School WWTP
Case No. LV-2013-0066
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hall:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $337.00
($200.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Buncombe County Schools.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of December
2012. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0066788. The violations which
occurred in December 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
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
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
Buncombe County Schools:

in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum limit for FEC COLS
$200.00 TOTAL CIVIL. PENALTY
$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$337.00 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:
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 Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings

Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Schools for the month of December

occurred in December 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Buncombe County Schools violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO066788 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in
the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by

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

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings
accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for
official state holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please
be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review
period of this assessment.

1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5) (a)]
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin reporting
discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report
(eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted
electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and
submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is
compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required
to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer -printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being
physically located in an'area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a
temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge
monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall -be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in
writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months
and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.licdenr.org/—web/wq/admii-i/bog/ipu/edlnr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the .
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.

Permit NC0066788
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B (11) (b) and supersedes Section B (11) (d))

B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A
person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account and
login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system,

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite SanVle
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3 of 18
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.

Page 7of18
(3) within seven calendar days of vacancies in both ORC and Back-up ORC positions replacing or designating
at least one of the responsibilities.
The ORC of each Class I facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least weekly
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204.
The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility (or the Back-up ORC, when acting as surrogate for the ORC) must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the treatment
facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 08G .0204.
Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions
of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality
assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only
when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and maintenance
of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator [subcontractor] or a
member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(c)].
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41(m)(2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41(m)(3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice,
if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality
and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part
II.E.6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 8of18
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41(n)(2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph b. of
this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was
caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial
review.
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: Any Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative
defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant
evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The Permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The Permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II.E.6.(b) of this permit.

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local govermnent organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which snakes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.
Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 15 of 18
All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]:

Subject: Building Lateral
Old Shade Side Motel Property
Fairview Elementary School
Buncombe County Board of Education
The Division is in receipt of your letter dated April 6, 1993 which requests the authorization to
connect additional flow from facilities to'be located on property known as Old Shade Side Motel property
to the wastewater treatment plant owned by Buncombe County which serves Fairview Elementary School.
When the original permit was issued to Buncombe County, it authorized the connection of a four bedroom
house on your property. Since that time, you have requested of the Board of Education and the State
Division of Environmental Management, that you be allowed to connect a convenient store and laundry
mat to this existing permitted facility. Per our conversations, the Division cannot authorize a connection to
a facility without a formal permit amendment being requested by Buncombe County -for the current
NPDES Permit and Authorization to Construct that is issued to Buncombe County and a sewer extension
permit that must be applied for in your name with written authorization from Buncombe County to allow
this connection. In that regard, you'have singe agreed to elittunate your plans for the connection of the
laundry mat and have requested thatoanstdt ration be::gieen to allow rite connection of the.cotiuenient store.
To support your request, you have s tbtnitted wator records which indicate hafthe watervonsurmption at
this facility would average 425 gallons per day. This would equate to less than the _-stimate of wastewater
flow which would be generated from a four (4) bedroom house at a rate of 480 gallons per day. This
being the case, the Division will allow this connection, however, the following outlines the conditions by
which this approval is given. If compliance with each and every one of these conditions is not attained,
this approval is hereby immediately voided and revoked.
1. You must be granted approval for this connection from the Buncombe County Board of
Education. They must not have a concern for the type of wastewater to be connected to
their system which will consist of the wastewater generated from the convenient store only.
2. The flow generated from this connection must be less than 425 gallons per day.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples
shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,
which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period.
The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual
sample collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period
at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may
Version 1012912010

PDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions
also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal
operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit
parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow
this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered =1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

(b) (2) may cause this Division to initiate action to revoke the permit.
Section C. Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls
Certified Operator
Upon classification of the permitted facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall employ a
certified water pollution control treatment system operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the water pollution
control treatment system. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the
classification assigned to the water pollution control treatment system by the Certification Commission. The
Permittee must also employ one or more certified Back-up ORCs who possess a currently valid certificate of
the type of the system. Back-up ORCs must possess a grade equal to (or no more than one grade less than) the
grade of the system [15A NCAC 8G.0201].
The ORC of each Class I facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the
treatment facility must be visited at least weekly
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
The ORC of each Class II, III and IV facility must:
➢ Visit the facility as often as is necessary to insure proper operation of the treatment system; the
treatment facility must be visited at least five days per week, excluding holidays
➢ Properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
➢ Comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G.0204.
Once the facility is classified, the Permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission designating
the operator in responsible charge:
a. Within 60 calendar days prior to wastewater being introduced into a new system
b. Within 120 calendar days of:
➢ Receiving notification of a change in the classification of the system requiring the designation of a new
ORC and back-up ORC
➢ A vacancy in the position of ORC or back-up ORC.
Version 1012912010

2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary to operate the
existing facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all
facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the
Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also
includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires
the Permittee to install and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of the permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
NOTE: Properly and officially designated operators are fully responsible for all proper operation and
maintenance of the facility, and all documentation required thereof, whether acting as a contract operator
[subcontractor] or a member of the Permittee's staff.
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)]•
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,
but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The Permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in
Part II. E. 6. (24-hour notice).
c. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass from the treatment facility is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime.
This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take
enforcement action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide
collection system permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects,
if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in
Paragraph c. (1) of this section.
5. Upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]:An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought
for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims
that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative
action subject to judicial review.

Temperature and pH were left off inadvertently, please send an amended DMR within 10 business days of receipt
of this letter to Raleigh at the address found on the front page of your DMR and also a copy to this office.
The DMR for Fairview Elementary does not have the minimum required 10 days between sampling of Ammonia.
Part II, Section A. of your NPDES permit states: 2/114onth: Samples are collected twice per month with at./east
ten calendar days between sampling events. Please begin using the required protocol on future DMRs.
Remedial actions should be taken to correct these problems. The Division of Water Quality may pursue
enforcement action for this and any additional violations of State law. If you should have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at 828/296-4500.

It was also noted that the Compliance box on the back of the DMR was marked "Compliant" when in
fact it should have been marked "Non -Compliant" with an explanation for the non-compliance.
Remedial actions should be taken to correct this problem. The Division of Water Quality may pursue
enforcement action for this and any additional violations of State law. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at 8281296-4600.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Fairview Elementary School WWTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.011 MGD extended
aeration with: influent pumps; manual bar screen; flow equalization basin with audible and
visual alarms; aeration basin with blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with sludge return;
aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; dechlorination unit; flow
recorder and stand-by natural gas generator. -
PERMIT/ INSPECTION / LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-17-2008 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 12-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on -site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS / PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 7.2 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.2 units --- Hydrated lime, sodium bicarbonate and soda ash were added to raise
the pH and increase the alkalinity.
Dissolved Oxygen = 2.96 mg/I --- The timers were adjusted to increase aeration on
Saturday (2/20/10), due to a school make-up day.
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3
mg/I. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration
timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 280 ml/I = 28%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so
that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the
settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a
settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge
Page # 2

Permit: NCO066788
Inspection Date: 02/19/2010
Owner - Facility: Fairview Elementary School
Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained.
If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably
recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
pH = 6.2 units
Temperature = 7.2 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = 12 ug/I
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
Mr. Kenneth Henson, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining
.the facility very well.
The effluent was clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT: .
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for
submittal of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:
The owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or wastewater collection systems
that treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste, must provide an Annual
Report to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources that summarizes the treatment works' and collection system's performance over a
12 month period.)
The System Performance Annual Performance Report had been filed for the calendar year 2008 and
was received by the Division on February 26, 2009.
The System Performance Annual Report, for 2009, is due no later than 60 days of the end of the
reporting period.
Report Format:
The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is strongly suggested that, at
a.minimum, the report contain the following information:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units / Process Control Testing / Effluent Data:
This facility consists of a Purestream metal package plant.
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 13.4 degrees Celcius
pH = 6.95 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 1.0 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/l.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 400/1000 ml/I = 40%
The excess solids were pumped on 12/14/2008.
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately.equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless
the sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = —1.0 mg/I
pH = 6.95 units
Temperature = 13.4 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = 22 ug/I
The operator uses a Hach DR 2800 spectrophotometer to analyze the total residual'chlorine.

Education.
This assessment is based upon the.following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Buncombe County Board of Education for the month of

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

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:

Division of Water Quality
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 Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality 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 Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
