Re: Barber Orchard
The site appears to be stable. I was keeping this open mainly for the area that got rip-rapped. (It was
technically a stream).
I'm going to close this out in BIMs. I've only received one further complaint in 2013 and it was very
minor(and resolved itself). Nothing more related to turbidity or sediment.

Susan—Thanks for your information, we had already planned to be on-site to address some of those areas next week—
especially the freeman property which is where the large swale is located. We plan on mobbing and reviewing what
needs to be done on Monday and hope to start repairs on Tuesday in all areas [weather permitting to allow access to
the areas-long range forecast looks good right now].
Will follow up with photo documentation to show what was done to repair the areas.
Thank You.
David

Jon and Dave—
On February 17, 2012 1 went to look at a portion of the Barber Orchard site. Based on that brief site inspection -DWQ
cannot close out NOV-2011-SS-0009. Although there is some vegetation growth on the site,there are also bare areas
and rills/gullies on the site. It will need to be stabilized prior to DWQ closing out the NOV.
I have not accessed the upper slopes yet to determine the stability—I suggest you folks take a hard look at that. Due to
the steep slopes, and if vegetation did not have time to establish prior to the cold months—it has a high potential for
developing gullies/rills.
The area that I especially noticed during my site inspection is the area south of the RR near Apple Hill Drive (west of
Granny Smith). Sediment is present south of the RR and I'm not sure there is adequate positive flow.
Much of the areas within the residential subdivision appeared OK and didn't have the same type issues.
I've attached a few pictures for your review. If you need technical assistance—you may wish to contact Laura Herbert
(Division of Land Resources) at 828 296-4500.

Barber Orchard Superfund Site
NOV-2011-SS-0009
Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Removal of Best Usage
Haywood County
Response deadline: May 16,2011
Dear Messrs. Bornholm and Brinkmeyer:
On March 24, 2011, Susan A. Wilson and Jeff Menzel from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site visit at Barber Orchard Superfund Site in
Haywood County. The site is located 3 miles west of Waynesville,NC. Mr. Will Smith, with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), was also present during the inspection. It is the
knowledge of DWQ that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 4/
Superfund Division has taken responsibility for removing and remediating the contaminated soils
for this site, and that they have directed Environmental Restoration, LLC to conduct the contract
work.

A follow-up site visit and meeting was conducted on April 5, 2011 with representatives of the
DWQ, Division of Land Resources, Division of Waste Management,Haywood County Erosion
Control, as well as USEPA Region 4 and Environmental Restoration, LLC.
During the site visits, DWQ observed impacts to unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek from
sediment deposition, and the excavation and relocation of stream channels. Offsite sediment was
also noted that resulted from the activities within the subject sites' property boundary. It was
difficult to quantify the amount of stream impacts and offsite sediment due to the nature of the
damage. DWQ also observed disturbance and fill material placed in wetland-type soils throughout
the site. If a delineation map depicts that these areas are wetlands, any unauthorized impacts found
in those areas will need to be addressed and the wetlands restored. The stream impacts occurred to
unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, a Class C Trout water body in the French Broad River
Basin.
As a result of the site inspection, the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (3)f requires that"Oils;
deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the
waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or
adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any
designated uses".
An undetermined number of feet of unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted
by sediment deposition resulting in a stream standard violation.
II. Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2)—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2) requires that"The waters shall
be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity,wildlife,
secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of
these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a
water quality standard".
An undetermined number of feet of unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted
by excavating stream channels resulting in stream standard violations.
III. Wetland Standards - 15A NCAC 02B .0231 (b) -
(1) Liquids, fill or other solids or dissolved gases may not be present in amounts which
may cause adverse impacts on existing wetland uses
(5) Hydrological conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics
naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts on:
(C) The chemical, nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime of the wetland;

Messrs.Bomholm and Brinkmeyer
April 26,2011
Page 3 of 5
(D) The movement of aquatic fauna;
(F) Water levels or elevations.
An undetermined amount of potential wetlands have been impacted from fill material and
other disturbances. Wetlands at the site would drain to Richland Creek.

Subject: RE: Barber Orchard -NOV Closeout Request
Thanks Dave—and on Friday I was going by to check on the site again, because I was in the vicinity—but Haywood got a
good dusting of snow and I was afraid I couldn't see much. Yes—I was holding off a bit to see how the seeding was
going—I've been by a few times but was hoping to get by in December and always ran out of time.
I'll probably go ahead and close it out with some language regarding re-seeding in the spring if necessary. This one is
unusual in that I would typically wait for our Division of Land Resources to close the site out and then I could close the
NOV. Since it is out of their regulatory authority—I'll just move forward with our close-out.

Susan

Hi Susan
Hope you had a great holiday and got to enjoy some time off. I was following up to this email to see if we would be
receiving a close-out letter for the NOV we had previously received.
In-regards to your concerns listed below, you should have received the sign-off agreement on 11/7/11 under a separate
email to address this concern with the property owner signed agreement approving the rock placement.
In regards to your second concern, we have been back to the site to perform final punchlist items/subcontractor
supervision. During these visits growth has been observed in these areas of concern. We will continue to perform
O&M at the Site in the near term and will make any necessary repairs/re-seeding if areas do not seem stabilized per
these visual inspections.
Hope this answers your concerns, and look forward to hearing from you.

Jon/Dave—
I met Joel on site yesterday (10/13)to review the work that had been completed. The site looks stable. I just have a
couple of concerns at this point:
The rip-rap in the small tributary. Again—I agree that at this point the rip-rap should remain in place. If you get
a signed agreement with the current property owner—DWQ will be OK with that. We just cannot move forward
on that without the agreement of the property owner.
You'll need to evaluate the newly stabilized (strawed/seeded) areas to ensure that germination occurs—and re-
seed if necessary. I can put that language in the close-out.

Subject: Barber Orchard Site Visit
All,
Altamont conducted a site visit to the Barber Orchard site on October 3, 2011. The purpose of the visit was to observe
and assist Environmental Restoration, LLC (ER) with the installation of restoration measures described in Altamont's Site
Stabilization, Sediment Removal, and Stream Restoration Plan (Plan) report dated July 15, 2011 for Restoration Area RA
1

7.1 along tributary UT 7a indicated on Figure 2 of the Plan. Restoration of this reach of stream was delayed until now
due to the need for ER to close out a staging area upslope of UT 7a before restoring the stream. The need to wait for
closing of the staging area was described in Altamont's Site Stabilization,.Sediment Removal, and Stream Restoration
Final Report(Report) dated August 19, 2011 and in email correspondence between ER and Ms. Susan Wilson of the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
Altamont's understanding, and per the Report and referenced correspondence,this was the last task to be completed in
order for ER and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Superfund Division (USEPA)to
successfully address a Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to both on April 26, 2011. While on site, Altamont also viewed
remedial work conducted by ER on parcels 17, 18, 62, 57, 23, and 25 since Altamont issued the Plan (July 15, 2011)to
observe that remedial work had avoided the NCDENR 25-foot Trout Buffer as requested by the DWQ.
While on site Altamont observed the following conditions:
1. It appeared that ER has avoided the Trout Buffer on parcels 17, 18, 62, 57, 23, and 25 as requested by DWQ,
and in most locations the buffer was left wider than the requested 25-feet.
2. Apparently, due to misinterpretation of the plan by ER, or miscommunication from ER to its equipment
operators,tributary UT 7a has been stabilized with what appears to be Class B crushed stone. Photos of the
stabilized tributary with descriptions may be found in the attachment to this email (20111003 Site Visit Photos
& Descriptions). It is the opinion of Altamont that removal of fill placed in the UT 7a may cause more harm to
downstream waters than if the fill material is left in place and the restoration plan is modified as described
below.
Revised Restoration Plan for UT 7a
1. Confirm that the DWQ agrees with the revised restoration plan. If so, proceed to Step 2. If not, await guidance
from the DWQ.
2. Inform Altamont that ER is ready to install restoration techniques and schedule an Altamont representative to
observe installation of restoration measures described below.
3. Cultivate to a depth of approximately two inches all areas that are not currently stabilized with crushed stone
within 25 feet of the centerline of riprap lined channels associated with tributary UT 7a.
4. Apply 20 pounds of wetland seed mix(referenced in Altamont's Plan at the top of Page 5) evenly to all areas
within 25 feet of centerline of stabilized channels, including areas stabilized with crushed stone. Substitute
Winter Rye or Winter Wheat for Browntop Millet or spread evenly over the cultivated area an additional 10
pounds of Winter Rye or Winter Wheat.
5. Mulch all cultivated and seeded areas with wheat straw at a rate of approximately one bail of straw per 300
square feet of cultivated area.
6. Install one 6.5-foot width, 700 weight, coir fabric adjacent to all crushed stone lined channels associated with UT
7a per the specification included in Appendix E of the Plan.
7. Irrigate the restored area as needed until an annual winter grain (rye or wheat) has germinated.

Susan,
I wanted to provide you with.an update on the Barber Orchard site. As stated in the Final Report we provided to you on
August 19, 2011,we anticipated that the staging area would be closed by September 9, 2011, with restoration of UT 7a
taking place within a week after that. I spoke with the site manager this morning and he informed me that the staging
area would not likely be closed until closer to September 20, 2011, due to delays. Joel Lenk and myself will keep you
informed of the schedule to restore UT 7a as we near the closing of the staging area. Please let me know if you have any
questions or comments.

Sampling Plan within Trout Buffer Zone
Friday July 29'2010
Prepared By:Environmental Restoration
Location
Area in which sampling is to be conducted would be within the 25 ft buffer on properties:
15 / 37/48 /49 / 53. One sample will be taken on either side of the creek on each
property.
Sampling Methodology
The following specific procedures will be used during the collection, handling and
shipment of samples for this investigation.
SESDPROC-005-R1, Sample Evidence and Management SESDPROC-010-R3,
Logbooks SESDPROC-011-R2, Field Sampling Quality Control SESDPROC-110-R2,
Global Positioning System SESDPROC-202-R1, Management of Investigation Derived
Waste SESDPROC-205-RI, Field Cleaning and Decontamination SESDPROC-209-RI,
Packing, Marking, Labeling and Shipping of Environmental and Waste Samples
SESDPROC-300-R1, Soil Sampling
Specific Soil sampling Procedures
Surface soil samples will be collected, where possible, as five-point composites, per the
aliquot pattern shown at the bottom of the page. Occasional deviations from this pattern
might be necessitated when structures impinged on the aliquot layout, the grid was
located very near a property boundary or refusal was encountered in the subsurface. The
field team leaders, on these occasions, will make adjustments to the number and locations
of aliquots collected to represent the location and noted these deviations in their field
logbooks as part of the sample documentation. Surface samples will be comprised of soil
from the 0"—4" below ground surface (bgs) interval. Decaying leaf litter and moss will
be cleared from soil prior to sampling.
Five point composite aliquot pattern
AnalyticalMeth o dology
All samples collected for this investigation will be analyzed by the following EPA
Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) laboratories:
Metals & Organochlorine Pesticides:Analytical Environmental Services, INC Atlanta,
GA

General
Approximately 12 samples will be collected for this investigation. The following are the
ROD contaminants of concern and the cleanup goals for each compound.
Surface Soil Cleanup Goals
• Arsenic— 80 mg/kg
• Lead—400 mg/kg
• 4,4-DDT— 1.7 mg/kg
• 4,4-DDE— 1.7 mg/kg
• 4,4-DDD—2.4 mg/kg
• Aldrin—0.033 mg/kg
• Dieldrin—0.035 mg/kg
• Endrin— 15 mg/kg
• Endrin Ketone— 1.5 mg/kg
A final report with discussions of individual compounds data summary tables,photos will
be provided under separate cover.
Surface Soil
The reported concentrations for all ROD contaminants of concern will be compared to
their respective clean-up goals.
Volume Potential Removal
Using a uniform thickness of one foot, the volume of soil requiring removal, by this
definition, was calculated as approximately 1,000 cubic yards.

Dear Messrs. Bornholm and Brinkmeyer:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has received correspondence from Altamont
Environmental, Inc. dated July 15, 2011, in response to the NOV noted above. Due to the extent
of the project and the delineation that had to be performed,the DWQ allowed an extension of the
response time frame specified in the NOV (and has had on-going e-mail correspondence with all
parties).
The proposal presented includes the removal of sediment and restoration of several tributaries to
Richland Creek as noted in the document. In addition, Altamont has performed stream
identification of surface waters throughout the project boundary (which was required as part of the
NOV response).
The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved.
As stated in the document, areas still to be disturbed will have protection of the 25 foot Trout
buffer along identified surface waters. Disturbed areas will be restored to their condition prior to
disturbance.
EPA Region IV and ER will present a sampling plan to DWM and DWQ to ensure that the
protected, undisturbed areas meet the goal of the overall project with respect to soil remediation.

The DWQ cannot make recommendations on sediment and erosion control. However, as has been
communicated to you previously, DWQ recommends that you keep in contact with the Division of
Land Resources and refer to the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual for appropriate erosion control at the site. Appropriate erosion control measures
are essential to ensure there is no additional sediment loss into surface waters.
Activities involved in this approved plan, as well as submittal of the final report, are to be
completed within thirty(30) days of this approval letter. If additional time is necessary for
plantings, etc. or should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Ms. Susan

Subject: Sed/restoration Plan for Barber Orchard
Dave/Jon—
I met with Anna and Joel of Altamont yesterday. I wanted them to go over the plan with me so that I could be clear on
the areas that needed clean-up and restoration, as well as the new areas that were delineated.
I am fine with the approach they presented. They're going to clarify a few things (based on our discussion and ya'lls
discussion with them).
As we have discussed before, we'd really like for the 'new' areas that you will be grubbing/clearing to maintain a 25 ft
trout undisturbed buffer on both sides of the delineated streams. However, one thing we are struggling with is to
ensure that those areas are not contaminated. In discussions with Nile,we'd like for you folks to propose a sampling
plan to ensure that project goals are met(and if within that 25 ft buffer—the contaminant levels are too high, we would
have to rethink the undisturbed buffer).
The other thing that I will likely recommend is that you comply with NC Erosion and Sediment Control Practices (review
of that would be outside my purview—so you may want to contact Janet or Gray, copied above). Based on some photos
I have seen—there still seems to be some confusion regarding common practices for NC. I'm afraid if appropriate
erosion control is not used in the new areas(and maintained in the remediated areas),that you will continue to have
sediment leaving the project area and/or getting into surface waters.
Thanks,
Susan

I have seen—there still seems to be some confusion regarding common practices for NC. I'm afraid if appropriate
erosion control is not used in the new areas (and maintained in the remediated areas),that you will continue to have
sediment leaving the project area and/or getting into surface waters.

1.0 Introduction and Background
The Barber Orchard site is located in Haywood County, North Carolina,three miles west of Waynesville
(Figure 1). According to the United States Environmental Protection Act,the former orchard consisted of
approximately 438 acres and was used to grow apples from 1908 to 1988, at which time the bank that was
holding the loan foreclosed on the owners of the orchard. In 1988,the bank began selling tracks of the land
in various sizes. At the present time,some of the property is being used for agricultural production,
commercial, cultural (i.e., churches), and light industrial purposes. The remainder.is undeveloped, and it is
anticipated that the majority of the undeveloped property will eventually be developed as residential
property.
In early 1999,the Haywood County Health Department sampled a concerned resident's potable well.
Pesticides were detected, which prompted a larger sampling effort by the State of North Carolina. The
results were forwarded to the United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),which initiated a
removal action that began in October 1999 and was completed in August 2000 (EPA).

project are classi ied by the orth Carolina Department of Environment and"Natural Resources (DENR),
Division of Water Quality(DWQ) as Class C Trout Streams. The DENR, Land Quality Section protects a
minimum 25-foot trout buffer along classified trout"streams. .
In some locations within the project area,'soil excavation and removal activities have impacted the trout
buffer, wetlands, springs, and,tributaries to Richland Creek. These impacts were described in a Notice of
Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement and Injunctive Relief(NOV) issued by the DENR, Surface
Water Protection Section dated.April 26,2011,(Appendix A)for the Barber Orchard Superfund Site. The NOV
was issued to Mr.Jon BornholrnRemedial Project Manager;'EPA Region 4 Superfund Division and Mr. David
A. Brinkmeyer, CHMM,,VP-Governrrient`,Contracts, Environmental Restoration, LLC. The NOV was issued for
fhe following Stream Standard Violations.

The referenced NOV indicated a Response Deadline of May 16, 2011. Altamont Environmental, Inc.
(Altamont)was contracted by ER on May 20, 2011 to address violations outlined in the NOV. Between the
dates of May 26, 2001 and June 3, 2001,Altamont conducted field work within and downstream of the
.t
project area.

Altamont field work included the following:
• Verification and of all United States Geological Society(USGS) "blue line streams" within the project
area
• Identification of discrepancies between USGS and Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)
stream data and actual site conditions, and identification of additional streams within the project
a rea
• Identification and delineation of Perennial, Intermittent, and Ephemeral streams (Figure 2) within the
project area using DWQ Steam Identification Forms (Appendix B)
• Identification of areas where the trout buffer alongside tributaries to Richland Creek has been
apparently impacted by remedial activities taking place within the project area (Figure 2)
• Identification of areas where sediment, resulting from remedial activities, has apparently impacted
and accumulated in tributaries to Richland Creek and can:,be readily removed,.without further
impacts to streams and buffers (Rig-B ')-
• Survey of cross-sections in areas both impacted and non-impacted by remedial activities within the
project area (Figures 2 and 3a-g)
• Stream Survey Data Sheet that relates cross-sectional data to Rosgen stream classification
(Appendix C)
• 'Photograph representative areas of the project area,tributaries, stream buffers, and-fbmedial
activities that have apparently caused or are causing impacts to buffers and streams at the site
(Appendix D)
Field work described above was completed by walking, where passable, and collecting the above-referenced
data along the length of each tributary within the project area. Some areas where extremely dense
vegetation exists within the Trout Buffer and where the;stream and buffer appeared to be in stable condition
were not observed in orderto avoid impactscaused during field work. Identification, delineation, and data
collection described above was completed using a sub-footaccurate Global Positioning System (GPS) unit,
digital camera, reference books,field note books,field maps, DWQ Stream Identification forms, and various
measuring tapes. '

mowing, installation of culverts, road building, and apparent stream realignment. Altamont's assessment of
the project area focused on impacts that are apparently the result of the recent remedial activities that have
and are currently taking place at the site.
Post production of data collected in the field included Analysis of: field notes, field maps GPS tracks, and
waypoints, DWQ Stream Identification Forms. These tasks led to the following deliverables:

Altamont is beyond Altamont's current scope of work for this project. Altamont does however, make the
following recommendations, based on field work and site observations, in order to facilitate stabilization of
areas where remedial activities have taken place and are resulting, or appear to have the potential to result
in impacts to streams and buffers at the site.

Disturbed area with the 25-foot trout buffer will be seeded with a riparian seed ml comparable to Ernst
"riparian buffer mix" ERNMX-178 (http://www.ernstseed.com/seed-mix/?category-id=57) at an application
rate of 15 pounds per acre and a nursery crop of annual grain appropriate for the season at a rate of 10
pounds per acre. Seeded areas should then be fertilized, mulched with straw, and matted with 600-gram-
per-square-meter coconut coir matting installed per the specification included in Appendix E.
Per email correspondence received by Ms. Susan Wilson of DWQ on June 17, 2011, prior to disturbance of�
additional stream buffers the DWQ requests that 25-foot buffers be flagged over the remainder of the site.
Commonly, an engineer will perform calculations of runoff velocities for slopes using a chart similar to that
included in Appendix F. If velocities exceed two feet per second (ft/sec) over bare earth during a two-year
storm,then matting is typically specified for the slope. Based upon the flow depth and velocity, the engineer
will then match the matting strength to the shear stress exerted by the runoff. Under sheet flow conditions,
shear stresses are typically low. The quality of fine grading is very important where sheet flow is anticipated.
Stormwater will typically create a gulley if the slope is uneven in one spot resulting in concentrated flow with
the potential to transport sediment to streams and buffers.

Restoration Plan.Docx

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan June 21, 2011
Barber Orchard Page 5
Under a low shear stress environment,Altamont recommends the following two options for slope
stabilization:
1. Straw or excelsior(wood shavings) blanket
(We recommend a biodegradable,single-net blanket for normal sheet flow such as the "ECS-113"
[see Appendix G].)
2. Flexible Growth Medium (FGM) applied using hydroseeding techniques
http://www.acfenvironmental.com/PDFs/FGM/Flexterra FGM Intro 1spp.pdf
Altamont has scheduled a tour of the site with members of ER and the EPA on Wednesday June 22, 2011 to
discuss the installation of recommended product described above and stabilization measures described
below.

perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral areas of identified streams are shown on Figure 2.
Tributaries were broken up and labeled from west to east and designated as UT 1 through UT 7 (Figure 2).
UT 1 is a second-order stream and its tributaries were designated as 1a and 1b with its westernmost
tributary being la. UT 7 is a second order stream and its tributaries were designated as 7a through 7e with
its westernmost tributary being 7a.
Based on Altamont's assessment of the seven tributaries to Richland Creek, stabilization and restoration
measures are needed on all tributaries with the exception of tributar,ies.UT 1 and UT 4. Stabilization and
restoration areas are referred to.as RA`in Figure 2 an,d,„are;n'umbered according to which tributary they are
located on. Representative site photographs and descriptions referenced below may be found in Appendix
D. Stabilization and Restoration measures can be overseen by Altamont staff experienced in sediment and
erosion control and stream restoration construction oversight if necessary.
2.2.1 Tributary UT 2
2.2.1.1 RA 2
At least one area is in need of stabilization along tributary UT 2. This is an area where ER completed work on
either end.of a culvert that passes beneath the railroad line that that bisects the site near ER's Soil
Remediatio'n Tracts (SRT) 10, 6,and 4 (Figure 2). Apparently,this area was cleared and grubbed, and riprap
was placed on the slopes of the railroad line. Below where the riprap was placed adjacent to UT 2 are
steeply sloping.�ar'eas of non-vegetated disturbed soil where sediment is being carried by gravity and
stormwater into the tributary(Photos 19, 20, and 21). Sediment fence should be installed along the down
slope boundary between disturbed and non-disturbed areas and along the tributary approximately two feet
from the edge of water in the tributary in general accordance with the most recent addition of the ESCPDM
and such that sed:i�ment laden ttomwater cannot enter t e st eam. This't n exceptiet�f:he`"`�"gen�cai_i��
re uirement to remove sediment fence from stream bu ers.
Subsequent to installation of the sediment fence, all disturbed areas in this vicinity should be hydro-seeded
using the FGM and riparian seed mix(ERNMX-178) along with a nursery crop of annual grain appropriate for
the season at application rates referenced above. An erosion control seed mix comparable to ENRMX-103
can be used on areas outside the 25-foot buffer and can also to be applied via hydroseeding with FGM. The
nursery crop of annual grain is not needed when applying ENRMX-103. It is recommended to first spray the
P:\Environmental Restoration LLC\Barber Orchard\Sediment Removal And Stream Restoration Plan\Sediment Removal And Stream
Restoration Plan.Docx

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan June 21, 2011
Barber Orchard Page 6
seed mixes down with water,then spray the FGM in a second,application over the seed., This will help to
promote better seed-to-soil contact and will prevent the seed from getting trapped in the FGM slurry.
An unstable, non-vegetated, rapidly eroding ditch was observed in the pasture west of Myers Lane in the
ephemeral portion of UT 2 (Photo 26). It is unclear whether the formation of this ditch was the result of
remedial activities that may or may not have taken place on SRT's 10 and 6. If remedial activities have
taken place on these SRTs and DENR requires that the ditch be stabilized, Altamont can provide a
restoration approach for this area at a later date.
2.2.2 Tributary UT 3
2.2.2.1 RA 3
Similar to area RA 2 on UT 2 discussed above, RA 3 is the area where UT'3 passes beneath the railroad in
need of the similar stabilization techniques (Photos 29 and 30). Please refer to techniques described in the
first paragraph of Section 2.1 to address stabilization of area RA 3.
2.2.3 Tributary UT 5
2.2.3.1 RA 5.1
Stabilization in area RA 5.1 where UT 5 passes beneath the railroad should be address in the same manner
as described for areas RA 2 and RA 3 (Photo
2.2.3.2 RA 5.2
A large non-stabilized slope exists immediately east and upslope•of Tributary UT 5 across from Myers Lane
adjacent to RA 5.2 (Photo 38). This slope shall be stabilized using a seed mix ENRMX-103 and installing
slope matting comparable to ECS-113 (Appendix G). Sediment fence within the 25-foot buffer shall be
removed and reinstalled outside the 25-foot buffer. Disturbed areas within the 25-foot buffer will be seeded
with a riparian seed mix comparable to seed mix ERNMX-178 at an application rate of 15 pounds per acre
and a nursery crop of annual grain appropriate for the season at a rate of 10 pounds per acre. Seeded
areas should then be fertilized, mulched with straw, and matted with 600-gram-per-square-meter coconut
coir matting installed per the specification included in Appendix E.
The widened)road constructed uphill°from RA 5.2 as shown in Photo 40 needs the installation of gravel to
stabilize existing soil to prevent sediment.runoff from occurring in RA 5.2.
The area designated as RA 5.2.in Photo 38, is in need of buffer enhancement. Sediment fences should be
removed from areas within 25 feet of the stream and be reinstalled at the 25-foot buffer boundary per the
specification,in the ESCPDM for sediment fence. In areas where sediment fences are currently installed
across streams, buffers, and wetlands, accumulated sediments should be removed and reinstalled outside
of the 25-foot buffer. Disturbed area within the 25-foot buffer will be seeded with a riparian seed mix
comparable to Ernst riparian seed mix ERNMX-178 (httr)://www.ernstseed.com/seed-mix/?category-id=57)
at an application rate of 15 pounds per acre and a nursery crop of annual grain appropriate for the season
at a rate of 10 pounds per acre. Seeded areas should then be fertilized, mulched with straw, and matted
with 600-gram-per-square-meter coconut coir matting installed per the specification included in Appendix E.
2.2.3.3 RA 5.3
A large non-stabilized slope exists immediately east and upslope of Tributary 5 at RA 5.3 as shown in Photos
43 and 44 and should be stabilized in the same manner as described in the first paragraph for area RA 5.2.
P:\Environmental Restoration LLC\Barber Orchard\Sediment Removal And Stream Restoration Plan\Sediment Removal And Stream

Two sediment traps need to be installed in RA 5.3 designated at SA 5.1 and S 12 as shown in Photos 45,
46, 47, and 48. The se9'menfi firap r�ediliiasalild per guidelines fo nd in the ESOP'[ M �pendix Hia

axis is oriented parallel to flow entering the basin. Prior to construction of the temporary sediment traps,
sediment fences in this area should be cleaned out where sediment has accumulate to an elevation greater
than half the height of the fence. Sections of fence that are allowing sediment to flow past should be
reinstalled per the specification found in the referenced ESCPDM. Sediment fences should be extended to
sediment traps such that stormwater may not flow between the trap and the fence and into UT 5. Sediment
traps shall be maintained per ESCPDM guidance or at more frequent intervals.

A culvert that conveys UT 5 stream flow in the area designated SA 5.4 has likely been crushed by heavy
machinery associated with remedial activities (Photos 59'and 60). The access route should be,seeded with
ENRMX-178 within the 25-foot buffer and ENRMX-103 outside the buffer,'fertilized, and mulched with straw.
2.2.4 Tributary UT 6
2.2.4.1 RA 6
The area designated as RA 6 requires buffer enhancement within the 25-foot buffer(Photo 66 and 67) in the
same manner as described in the third,paragraph for.RA 5 2:'Per Altamont's correspondence with ER,the
wetland area on UT 6 shown in Ph&6 65.has alreadyibeen"restored by.ER.
2.2.5 Tributary UT 7
2.2.5.1 RA 7.1
A large non-stabilized slope adjacent to RA 7.1 as shown-in Photos 69 and 72 should be stabilized in the
similar manner as described in the first paragraph for RA 5.2 (Photos 66 and 67).
At the area designated as RA 7,1:
1.. Reinstall sediment fence at the 25-foot buffer
2. Remove from behind silt fences that cross the channel
3. Centralize the stream channel through minor grading
4. Buffer creation within the 25-foot area closest to the stream through seeding with ENRMX-178,
fertilizing, mulching with`,straw, and installation of 600 weight coir matting.
2.2.5.2 RA 7.2
A large non-stabilized slope adjacent to RA 7.2 as shown in Photos 73 and 75 should be stabilized with
slope matting in the same manner as described in the first paragraph for RA 5.2.
The area designated as RA 7.2 requires channel grading,sediment removal, and buffer enhancement within
the 25-foot buffer(Photos 73 and 75) in a similar manner as described for area 7.1 above.

Soil remediation activities conducted by ER at the Barber Orchard site have caused sediment impacts to
tributaries on-site. The limits of sediment deposits identified in this plan are approximate. It shall be the
responsibility of the persons conducting sediment removal activities and Altamont if observing the removal,
to remove all unnatural sediment within the limits shown. Sediment that is removed from the stream and
flood plain areas will be stabilized in accordance with this plan as described in Section 2.0.
All soil removal will stop when native soils and channel material are encountered. Reshaping or stabilizing
the existing stream banks is considered beyond the scope of this task. All stream banks along sediment
removal reaches of stream are to remain undisturbed unless specified otherwise above and in Figure 2.
Root wads, branches,stones, and cobbles provide friction within the stream channel to dissipate the energy
of flowing water..All such elements are to remain within the stream channel. Under no circumstances are
existing roots to A.-Cut and-removed from the stream.
Deeper pools naturally occur in the outer bends of stream beds: Care,is to be taken to ensure that all
sediment is removed from these features. The straighter riffle si6ctions of the stream are naturally shallower

conducting sediment removal activities are not,to'"assume that a uniform depth of soil can be removed from
the stream bed. Altamont will assist with identificption of unnatural sediment identification during sediment

Where practical,the transport of all removed sediment is to take place on a single side of the stream in
order to minimize disturbance to the streambanks and buffer. Care will.,be taken to impact the stream
channel and bank to the minimum extent possible. Ifstreambanks are disturbed by sediment removal,they
will be stabilized using a riparian seed mix complete with nursery crop of annual grain and mulch, and
matted with coir if necessary.
The"sediment will be containerized and transported to an area of the site where it may be temporarily placed
and tested for the existence of pesticides, herbicides,,and other primary contaminants that are being tested.

removal of impacted soils at the siferemoved sediments will be spread in a relatively level upland location
away from°surface waters and immediately stabilized by seeding with ENRMX-103 or an equivalent,
fertilizing;and mulching with straw. If soil,testing reveals that primary contaminants are found above EPA
action level for soil at the site, removed sediments will be containerized with other impacted soils being
removed as part of remedial activities at the siteand disposed of properly by ER and the EPA.

4.0 Turbidity Reduction Technique
Site stabilization is very important in turbidity reduction for the entire site. Please refer to the site
stabilization guidelines in Section 2.0 of this plan.
Efforts to reduce turbidity will be implemented by conducting sediment removal work during dry weather
periods and during base flow conditions or lower. Sediment removal work will be conducted from the
streambank minimizing disturbance to the stream as much as possible. Sediment removal work will be
conducted from upstream to downstream. Addirnal,l.�jbay b'aales{wil'I�k3� e �po�a=r-linl�: tlljiut

Dave/Jon—
I wanted to let you guys know that we have received another complaint regarding loss of sediment from Barber
Orchard. This may require some additional evaluation on the part of your consultant, so that is something you need to
keep in mind (I don't know because I haven't seen the plan for sediment removal yet).
The faster you guys can submit us a plan for approval—the better. DWQ has been very patient to this point—but we
would very much like to see a plan this week (you're now approaching your requested extension deadline—I think as of
today).
Thanks,

Hi Susan
Just to give you a brief update on Barber Orchard; Altamont started the assessment last week,
5/26, but got rained out on 5/27, so they were to finish up this week weather permitting.
Anna Saylor with Altamont told me should have plans, etc in a week or so once assessment is
complete. Anna said she will forward you a set of plans for NCDENR approval as well as to
the USACE for their concurrence.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank You.

SUBJ: Response to NOV-2011-SS-0009 for the Barber Orchard Superfund Site in
Waynesville, Haywood County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Edwards:
This correspondence is in response to North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR)Notice of Violation (NOV) 2011-SS-009, dated April 26, 2011,
regarding sediment erosion in surface waters at the Barber Orchard Superfund Site (Site) located
in Waynesville, Haywood county,North Carolina. A copy of this NOV was also sent to and
received by Environmental Restoration, LLC. (ER). ER has been tasked by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency), under contract EP-S4-07-04, to implement the soil
cleanup at the above referenced Site. The Agency is committed in addressing the violation listed
in your April 26 NOV but requests a thirty (30) day extension for submitting the requested plans,
the Sediment Removal Plan and the Stream Restoration Plan, as explained below. These plans
will provide the information requested.
To help prevent/eliminate additional erosion issues at the Site in the future, ER will not
be excavating such a large area as the one that lead to the past erosion issues. ER will be staging
their work across the larger parcels so that the section initially excavated will be close to being
hydro-seeded and covered with straw and erosion control matting before the last section of that
parcel is excavated. ER is also developing erosion control figures for each new parcel to be
excavated. These.figures include pertinent features of the parcel (topography, streams, etc.) and
the location of all erosion control structures. These figures will be shared with the field crews to
get their input before excavation is initiated.
Prior to receipt of the April 26 NOV,ER at the direction of EPA, contacted a local
environmental consultant (Altamont Environmental, Inc.). Altamont Environmental was
requested to submit a proposal to provide technical assistance to address the issues mentioned
during the April 5, 2011 meeting. ER met with the consultant at the Site on April 6, 2011, to

2
review the issues as well as visually inspect the areas of concern. Altamont Environmental
submitted a proposal to ER on April 26, 2011. As part of their effort to prepare their April 26
proposal,Altamont Environmental contacted NCDENR Division of Water Quality (DWQ) at
which time DWQ informed Altamont Environmental that no information could be disclosed
prior to EPA/ER being notified. Due to the uncertainty of the scope of work to be performed by
Altamont Environmental, EPA, ER, and Altamont Environmental concurred that it would not be
prudent to contract with Altamont Environmental until after the scope of effort was better
defined (i.e., receipt of the letter from NCDENR).
Upon receipt of the April 26, 2011 NOV, ER forwarded the NOV to Altamont
Environmental for input into the proposal previously requested. Altamont Environmental
submitted their proposal on May 10 (enclosed). Altamont Environmental specified it would take
two weeks to prepare the two requested plans following their field work at the Site. The
additional requested time is for EPA and ER to review these plans and provide feedback to
Altamont Environmental.
With regard to Item II1. Wetland Standards in the April 26 NOV, ER has recently
completed implementing the requested actions recommended by Mr. Tyler Crumbley,
Regulatory Specialist, Asheville Regulatory Field Office for the US Army Corps of Engineers.
At your request, Mr. Crumbley visited the Site on May 5. Photographs of the completed work
were recently forwarded to Mr. Crumbley for his review.
As stated above, the Agency will address the identified violations as quickly as feasible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 1-800-435-9233 (ext 28820) or 404-
562-8820.

Waynesville, Haywood County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brinkmeyer,
Thank you for providing Altamont Environmental, Inc.(Altamont)the opportunity to submit this revised
proposal to assist you with a response to a Notice of Violation (NOV) regarding potential imparts to streams
and wetlands at the Barber Orchard site located near Waynesville, North Carolina. This letter contains a
Background, Scope of Services,Schedule,and Estimated Costs based on a site visit conducted by Altamont
on April 6, 2011 and actions required by the NOV.
Background
Altamont understands that the Division of Water Quality, Division of Land Quality,and Aquifer Protection
Section, of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR)conducted a site
visit to Barber Orchard on March 24, 2011 and again on April 5, 2011, Environmental Restoration, LLC(ER)
contacted Altamont on April 5, 2011 and Altamont conducted a site visit on April 6, 201.1.
An NOV was issued to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and to ER on April 26, 2011 and
requires responses for the following specific violations:
® Other Waste(In-stream Sediment)- 15A NCAC 0213.0211 (3)f. An undetermined dumber of feet of
unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by sediment deposition resulting in a stream
standard violation.
® Removal of Best Usage- 15A NCAC 026.021-1. (2). An undetermined number of feet of unnarned
tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by excavating stream channels resulting in stream
standard violations.
® Wetland Standards- 15A NCAC 0213.0231(b). An undetermined amount of potential wetlands have
been impacted from fill material and other disturbances.
Scope of Services
The activities proposed below represent Altamont's recommendations for the site based on our,site visit,
conversations with ER, arid the referenced NOV.

Page 2 of 4
Phase 1:Stream.Identification, Wetland Delineation, and Assessment of Impacts to Surface Water
Altamont will begin this phase of the work by contacting DENR to present them with our intended scope of
work and schedule. Additionally,Altamont will attain all appropriate data from the US Army Corps of
Engineers(ACE), Federal Emergency Management Agency,and DENR to determine what hydrology has been
identified and delineated on site.
Altamont will conduct a stream determination at the site to identify existing ephemeral, intermittent, and
perennial streams. Additionally,Altamont will delineate wetlands found on site.
Finally,Altamont will quantify the volume and extent of sediment impacts to the streams and wetlands on
site that have resulted from remedial work taking place at Barber Orchard. Altamont will flag locations of
streams and wetlands and will record these locations using a sub-foot accurate GPS unit. Altamont will
identify and record evidence of impacts using a digital camera.
Altamont will survey the streams and wetlands on site to create a design for the restoration of the impacted
reaches of streams and wetlands.
Phase 2:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Plan
Altamont will correspond with DENR and ACE to confirm that impacted areas of streams and wetlands are
identified. Altamont will calculate an approximate volume of sediment that has impacted streams and
wetlands and portray the extent of impacts in a Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration
Plan (Plan). Altamont will prepare a strategy to remove the sediment from impacted streams and wetlands
on-site and downstream of the site,as necessary. Altamont will prepare a design to stabilize impacted
streambanks and to repair the riparian buffer to within 25 feet of the stream per trout buffer requirements,
which will be included in the Plan. If they exist,the Plan will include restoration of wetlands on site which will
be coordinated with the DENR and ACE. The Plan will specify materials necessary to remove sediment,
stabilize streambanks, restore the trout buffer,and restore wetlands if necessary.
The Plan will include a description for soil testing for primary contaminants to ensure the proper disposal of
sediment as specified in the NOV. The Plan will also include a description of how the site will be stabilized
short term and long term to prevent further impacts from sediment to water quality. We assume that
jurisdictional determinations of streams and wetlands will be required based on language in the NOV.
The Plan will be made available to ER for review prior to submittal to regulatory agencies. Once the Plan has
been approved by the appropriate agencies,Altamont will schedule, direct,and observe work on the
impacted streams.
Phase 3:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Implementation
Once the Plan has been.approved by the regulatory agencies,Altamont will begin accepting bids from
qualified contractors to implement the Plan. Altamont understands that ER will provide the labor and
materials necessary to implement the sediment removal portion of the Plan.
Altamont will provide the Plan to eligible and qualified contractors and receive cost estimates to implement
the streambank stabilization;trout buffer restoration,and wetland restoration work. However, if ER would
like to provide the necessary labor and materials for this portion of the work, please let us know.
Altamont is available to conduct soil testing on removed sediment for primary contaminants if requested. In
order to reduce cost;it would be beneficial for ER to provide a location for disposal of sediment removed
from the streams and wetlands during the work.

Page 3 of 4
Altamont will conduct construction observation during the Plan implementation phase. Additionally,
Altamont will prepare a final report that will be provided to ER for review prior to submittal the regulatory
agencies.
Schedule
Altamont can initiate work on Phase 1 of the project immediately upon receiving written notice to proceed.
Signing of our Agreement for Professional Services and Terms and Conditions documents will serve as this
notice. Altamont assumes that Phase 1 will require one day of office work and three days of field work.
Altamont will prepare a Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Plan (Plan)as described in
Phase 2 within two weeks of completion of assessment field work.
Altamont will issue an additional proposal for Phase 3 immediately upon completing work for Phase 1 and 2.
Estimated Cost
The estimated cost to complete the Phase 1 and 2 of the proposed scope of services is
Altamont bills on the basis of time and expenses incurred. If necessary time and expenses are less than
anticipated,the invoiced amount will be less than estimated. If additional time or expenses are required,
Altamont will notify you of these changes as they are recognized. j
Completion of Phase 1 of the project in accordance with the estimated budget and schedule is based on the
foregoing descriptions and the following assumptions:
• If wetlands are not recognized to be impacted on site,this could reduce the cost of the proposed
scope of services. ;
• Jurisdictional stream and wetland determinations from ACE will be required.
• A survey of the streams and wetlands on site is necessary.
• ER will supply the labor and materials to remove sediment from impacted streams while Altamont
observes these activities to be in accordance with the approved plans.
• Altamont will solicit cost estimates from qualified contractors for construction of stream and wetland
restoration.
• Only minimal correspondence with DENR and ACE and one revision of the Plan will be required.
• Altamont is provided access to work areas of the properties on an agreed-upon date without delay.
• Utilities will not interfere with the proposed work and that ER is responsible for all utility location
associated with this project.
• Inclement weather does not delay work progress.

Re: Response to NOV-2011-SS-0009/Request for Extension ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
Dear Mr. Edwards,
Environmental Restoration, LLC. (ER) and the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency Region
4 [USEPA] submit the following in response to North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources [NCDENR] Notice of Violation [NOV] 2011-SS-009 dated April 26, 2011 received regarding
the Barber Orchard Site[Site].
Prior to receipt of the letter, ER with EPA approval contacted a local environmental consultant,
Altamont Environmental, Inc. [Altamont] of Ashville, NC to provide a proposal to address some of the
issues mentioned during the meeting held on April 5, 2011. ER met with Altamont at the Site on April
6, 2011 to review the issues as well as visually inspect the areas of concern. ER requested a proposal
from Altamont to address the concerns expressed during the April 5th meeting by the NCDENR
Division of Water Quality [DWQ] and the Division of Land Resources [DLR]. Altamont contacted
DWQ during the week of April 11th to discuss the concerns and gain insight to the issues to be
addressed. Altamont was instructed by DWQ that the information could not be disclosed prior to
ER/EPA being notified and thus would have to wait for the formal notification.
Upon receipt of this NOV dated April 26, 2011, ER forwarded the NOV to Altamont for input into the
proposal previously requested. Altamont has stated they can provide the proposal prior to the May
16th deadline, but would require some additional time to complete the Plans and requirements
requested in the NOV.
Based on this information, ER is requesting an extension to the May 16,response date in order to fully
review Altamont's proposal, copy is attached, as well as complete any potential plans and
requirements requested. ER, and EPA, have and are willing to implement corrective actions based on
the NOV. ER is requesting up to a 30 day extension to the deadline in order to fully meet and ensure
compliance with the NOV. ER intends on implementing corrective actions as soon as possible once
Plans and/or approvals are received.
At this time, in regards to Section III of the NOV, Mr. Tyler Crumbley of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineer [USACE] regulatory program performed a Site inspection on May 5, 2011 and issued
Notification of Unauthorized Activity/Permit Noncompliance #SAW 2011-00853, copy attached.
During his inspection, Mr. Crumbly identified and agreed upon the remedial actions to be implemented
for the wetlands area restoration. On May 10, 2011, ER performed the wetlands restoration items
requested in the USACE Notification with a USACE representative present and documenting the
corrective actions taken to restore the wetlands area. Further documentation, i.e. photos, can be
provided on this restoration if so requested.

As indicated, ER, and EPA, will address the identified issues as quickly as possible once Plans and/or
approvals are received, or sooner if so requested by NCDENR.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any questions you may have regarding this request.

Subject: Revised Proposal in Response to NOV-2011-SS-0009
Barber Orchard Superfund Site
107 Barber Hill Drive
Waynesville, Haywood County, North Carolina
i
Dear Mr. Brinkmeyer,
}
Thank you for providing Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont)the opportunity to submit this revised
proposal to assist you with a response to a Notice of Violation (NOV) regarding potential impacts to streams
and wetlands at the Barber Orchard site located near Waynesville, North Carolina. This letter contains a
Background, Scope of Services;Schedule, and Estimated Costs based on a site visit conducted by Altamont
on April 6,2011 and actions required by the NOV. 1
Background
Altamont understands that the Division of Water Quality, Division of Land Quality, and Aquifer Protection
Section, of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) conducted a site
visit to Barber Orchard on March 24, 2011 and again on April 5, 2011. Environmental Restoration, LLC(ER)
contacted Altamont on April 5, 2011 and Altamont conducted a site visit on April 6, 2011.
An NOV was issued to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and to ER on April 26, 2011 and
{
requires responses for the following specific violations:
m Other Waste (In-stream Sediment)- 15A NCAC 02B.0211(3)f. An undetermined number of feet of I
unnarned tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by sediment deposition resulting in a stream
standard violation.
Removal.of Best Usage- 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2). An undetermined number of feet of unnamed
tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by excavating stream channels resulting in stream
i
standard violations.
p Wetland Standards- 15A NCAC 02B.0231(b). An undetermined amount of potential wetlands have
been impacted from fill material and other disturbances.
Scope of Services
I
The activities proposed below represent Altamont's recommendations for the site based on our site visit,
conversations with ER,and the referenced NOV.

Phase 1:Stream.Identification, Wetland Delineation, and Assessment of Impacts to Surface Water j
I
Altamont will begin this phase of the work by contacting DENR to present them with our intended scope of
work and schedule: Additionally,Altamont will attain all appropriate data from the US Army Corps of
Engineers(ACE), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and DENR to determine what hydrology has been
identified and delineated on site.
Altamont will conduct a stream determination at the site to identify existing ephemeral, intermittent, and
perennial streams. Additionally,Altamont will delineate wetlands found on site. j
Finally,Altamont will quantify the volume and extent of sediment impacts to the streams and wetlands on
site that have resulted from remedial work taking place at Barber Orchard. Altamont will flag locations of
streams and wetlands and will record these locations using a sub foot accurate GPS unit. Altamont will
identify and record evidence of impacts using a digital camera.
Altamont will survey the streams and wetlands on site to create a design for the restoration of the impacted
reaches of streams and wetlands.
Phase 2:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Plan
Altamont will correspond with DENR and ACE to confirm that impacted areas of streams and wetlands are
identified. Altamont will calculate an approximate volume of sediment that has impacted streams and
wetlands and portray the extent of impacts in a Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration
Plan (Plan). Altamont will prepare a strategy to remove the sediment from impacted streams and wetlands
on-site and downstream of the site, as necessary. Altamont will prepare a design to stabilize impacted
streambanks and to repair the riparian buffer to within 25 feet of the stream per trout buffer requirements,
which will be included in the Plan. If they exist,the Plan will include restoration of wetlands on site which will
be coordinated with the DENR and ACE. The Plan will specify materials necessary to remove sediment,
stabilize streambanks, restore the trout buffer,and restore wetlands if necessary.
The Plan will include a description for soil testing for primary contaminants to ensure the proper disposal of
sediment as specified in the NOV. The Plan will also include a description of how the site will be stabilized
short term and long term to prevent further impacts from sediment to water quality. We assume that
jurisdictional determinations of streams and wetlands will be required based on language in the NOV.
The Plan will be made available to ER for review prior to submittal to regulatory agencies. Once the Plan has
been approved by the appropriate agencies,Altamont will schedule, direct, and observe work on the
impacted streams.
Phase 3:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Implementation
Once the Plan has been.approved by the regulatory agencies,Altamont will begin accepting bids from
qualified contractors to implement the Plan. Altamont understands that ER will provide the labor and
materials necessary to implement the sediment removal portion of the Plan.
Altamont will provide the Plan to eligible and qualified contractors and receive cost estimates to implement
the streambank stabilization;trout buffer restoration, and wetland restoration work. However, if ER would
like to provide the necessary labor and materials for this portion of the work, please let us know.
Altamont is available•to'conduct soil testing on removed sediment for primary contaminants if requested. In
order.to reduce cost;it would be beneficial for ER to provide a location for disposal of sediment removed
from the streams and wetlands during the work.

Altamont will conduct construction observation during the Plan implementation phase. Additionally,
Altamont will prepare a final report that will be provided to ER for review prior to submittal the regulatory
agencies.
Schedule
f
Altamont can initiate work on Phase 1 of the.project immediately upon receiving written notice to proceed.
Signing of our Agreement for Professional Services and Terms and Conditions documents will serve as this
notice. Altamont assumes that Phase 1 will require one day of office work and three days of field work.
Altamont will prepare a Sediment Removal and'Streai•n and Wetland Restoration Plan (Plan)as described in
Phase 2 within two weeks of completion of assessment field work.
Altamont will issue an additional proposal for Phase 3 immediately upon completing work for Phase 1 and 2.
Estimated Cost
The estimated cost to complete the Phase 1 and 2 of the proposed scope of services is $11,030.
Altamont bills on the basis of time and expenses incurred. If necessary time and expenses are less than
anticipated,the invoiced amount will be less than estimated. If additional time or expenses are required,
Altamont will notify you of these changes as they are.recognized.
Completion of Phase 1 of the project in accordance with the estimated budget and schedule is based on the
foregoing descriptions and the following assumptions:
a If wetlands are not recognized to be impacted on site,this could reduce the cost of the proposed
scope of services.
• Jurisdictional stream and wetland determinations from ACE will be required.
a A survey of the streams and wetlands on site is necessary.
• ER will supply the labor and materials to remove sediment from impacted streams while Altamont
observes these activities to be in accordance with the approved plans.
0 Altamont will solicit cost estimates from qualified contractors for construction of stream and wetland
restoration.
® Only minimal correspondence with DENR and ACE and one revision of the Plan will be required.
• Altamont is provided access to work areas of the properties on an agreed-upon date without delay.
® Utilities will not interfere with the proposed work and that ER is responsible for all utility location
associated with this project.
Inclement weather does not delay work progress.

Roger/Susan,
As you may or may not know, ER is anticipating receiving a cost estimate from Altamont
Environmental which is expected to be submitted today.
Altamont Environmental will be tasked to provide technical support, generate the requested
project map, and assist in the development of the necessary plans. As you know, it will take
some effort to prepare these plans.
A quick question, since the drafting of the Sediment Removal Plan and the Stream Restoration
Plan will not be completed by May 16, the Agency's response will specify the Agency
commitment to rectifying the situation, request an extension to submit the requested
documents, hopefully a schedule to complete the map and plans, and the Agency's commitment to
implement the plans. The schedule will be based on Altamont Environmental's input which we
currently do not have. Will this be an adequate initial response?

Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Removal of Best Usage
Haywood County
Response deadline: May 16, 2011
Dear Messrs. Bornholm and Brinkmeyer:
On March 24, 2011, Susan A. Wilson and Jeff Menzel from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site visit at Barber Orchard Superfund-Site in
Haywood County. The site is located 3 miles west of Waynesville,NC. Mr. Will Smith, with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), was also present during the inspection. It is the
knowledge of DWQ that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 4/
Superfund Division has taken responsibility for removing and remediating the contaminated soils
for this site, and that they have directed Environmental Restoration, LLC to conduct the contract
work.

A follow-up site visit and meeting was conducted on April 5, 2011 with representatives of the
DWQ,Division of Land Resources, Division of Waste Management,Haywood County Erosion
Control, as well as USEPA Region 4 and Environmental Restoration, LLC.
During the site visits, DWQ observed impacts to unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek from
sediment deposition, and the excavation and relocation of stream channels. Offsite sediment was
also noted that resulted from the activities within the subject sites' property boundary. It was
difficult to quantify the amount of stream impacts and offsite sediment due to the nature of the
damage. DWQ also observed disturbance and fill material placed in wetland-type soils throughout
the site. If a delineation map depicts that these areas are wetlands, any unauthorized impacts found
in those areas will need to be addressed and the wetlands restored. The stream impacts occurred to
unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, a Class C Trout water body in the French Broad River
Basin.
As a result of the site inspection,the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Other Waste(In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (3)f requires that"Oils;
deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the
waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or
adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any
designated uses".
An undetermined number of feet of unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted
by sediment deposition resulting in a stream standard violation.
II. Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2)—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2) requires that"The waters shall
be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife,

Response deadline: May 16,2011
Dear Messrs. Bornholm and Brinkmeyer:
On March 24, 2011, Susan A. Wilson and Jeff Menzel from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site visit at Barber Orchard Superfund Site in
Haywood County. The site is located 3 miles west of Waynesville,NC. Mr. Will Smith, with the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), was also present during the inspection. It is the
knowledge of DWQ that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)Region 4/
Superfund Division has taken responsibility for removing and remediating the contaminated soils
for this site, and that they have directed Environmental Restoration, LLC to conduct the contract
work.

A follow-up site visit and meeting was conducted on April 5,2011 with representatives of the
DWQ,Division of Land Resources,Division of Waste Management,Haywood County Erosion
Control, as well as USEPA Region 4 and Environmental Restoration, LLC.
During the site visits,DWQ observed impacts to unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek from
sediment deposition, and the excavation and relocation of stream channels. Offsite sediment was
also noted that resulted from the activities within the subject sites' property boundary. It was
difficult to quantify the amount of stream impacts and offsite sediment due to the nature of the
damage. DWQ also observed disturbance and fill material placed in wetland-type soils throughout
the site. If a delineation map depicts that these areas are wetlands, any unauthorized impacts found
in those areas will need to be addressed and the wetlands restored. The stream impacts occurred to
unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, a Class C Trout water body in the French Broad River
Basin.
As a result of the site inspection, the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (3)f requires that"Oils;

waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or
adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any
designated uses".
An undetermined number of feet of unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted
by sediment deposition resulting in a stream standard violation.
II. Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2)—
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2)requires that"The waters shall

SUBJECT: Enforcement Recommendation/Summary
Barber Orchard Superfund Site (Case No. NOV-2011-SS-0009)
Haywood County,NC
This memo serves as a summary of actions conducted by Division of Water Quality/Surface
Water Protection Section/ARO regarding the Barber Orchard Superfund site in Haywood
County. USEPA R4/Superfund Division, along with its contractor, Environmental Restoration,
LLC are in the process of remediating/removing soils from Barber Orchard due to elevated levels
of arsenic and pesticides from apple production. The total acres to be remediated are 80.
Currently, 50 acres have been grubbed and 39 acres have been excavated.
Susan A. Wilson and Jeff Menzel of this Office conducted a site inspection on March 24, 2011;
the site inspection was in response to anonymous complaints received by Haywood County
Erosion Control on March 11, 2011. Will Smith, US Army Corp of Engineers, working as a site
supervisor, was also present during the inspection. It was observed during the inspection that, in
several areas outside the boundary of the Superfund project, sediment was deposited in unnamed
tributaries to Richland Creek (and possible wetland areas). Within the boundary of the
Superfund site, it was noted that in removing the soils, there was no protection of existing
intermittent/perennial streams and wetlands. Determination of streams and wetlands within the
boundary of the site has been requested; per Jon Bornholm, EPA R4/Superfund Division, this
was not done prior to conducting the remediation work.
Several NCDENR regulatory agencies also received complaints (Aquifer Protection Section and
Division of Land Resources). A site meeting/inspection with representatives of DWQ, DLR,
DWM, Haywood County Erosion Control, Environmental Restoration, LLC (contractor) and
USEPA R4/Superfund Division was conducted on April 5, 2011. DWQ alerted Mr. Bornholm of
the potential water quality violations off-site and within the Superfund boundary.

Memo—Barber Orchard Superfund Site
Page 2 of 2
DWQ/ARO intends to send Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement (MORE)
to EPA R4 and Environmental Restoration, LLC. The NORE states that off-site sediment must
be removed from the various unnamed tributaries that have been affected and that any
streams/wetlands delineated within the boundary of the Superfund site be restored. The NORE
also states that a local consulting firm experienced in sediment removal and stream restoration be
contacted for these purposes. DWQ also suggested in the NORE that the USACE be consulted
regarding this activity.
DWQ has been in continual contact with Nile Testerman, DWM/Superfund Section(Project
Reviewer) regarding these actions.
The impacts have resulted in the following violations:
• Stream Standard Violation—Other Waste (instream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211(3)f
—off-site sediment in several tributaries to Richland Creek was noted; due to the size of
the project and its layout, DWQ staff was unable to determine the extent of impact. An
experienced consulting firm should be hired to determine impact.
• Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B .0211(2)—in removal of the contaminated
soils, it was observed that seeps and intermittent/perennial streams may have been
impacted (and possibly wetland areas); no erosion protection was in place to protect those
areas from heavy equipment. DWQ required that those areas be delineated and restored
(even though they are within the boundary of the Superfund project). Jurisdictional
determination may be necessary.
DWQ does have some concerns about the migration of contaminated soils off boundary. We
have required the consultant to test for primary contaminants in soils removed from off boundary
sites to ensure proper disposal. Details of this are to be determined between DWQ and DWM.
Several photos are being e-mailed to you for your reference.

Subject: Barber Orchard EPA ID: NCSFN0406989, Haywood County, NC
The Haywood County Erosion Control office received a complaint concerning stream sedimentation due to the
Superfund activity at Barber Orchard. Representatives of Haywood County, NC DENR and the Army Corps observed the
site on March 17, 2011. Sediment from the site was observed in an Unnamed Tributary to Redbank Branch, Class C,
Trout.
Corrective actions recommended by our inspector are as follows:
1. Install erosion and sedimentation control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from washing off into the
Unnamed Tributary to Redbank Branch or adjacent property, and
2. Establish a vegetated buffer zone 25-feet in width along both sides of the Unnamed Tributary to Redbank
Branch.
Given the contaminated nature of the soil on the site, sedimentation of trout waters is of great concern. Please give this
matter your prompt attention. If I can be of assistance concerning erosion and sedimentation control issues, do not
hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

SUBJ: Response to NOV-2011-SS-0009 for the Barber Orchard Superfund Site in
Waynesville, Haywood County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Edwards:
This correspondence is in response to North Carolina Department of Environment-and
Natural Resources (NCDENR) Notice of Violation (NOV) 201-1-SS-009, dated April 26, 2011,
regarding sediment erosion in surface,waters at the Barber Orchard Sup.erfund_Site (Site) located
in Waynesville, Haywood county,North Carolina. A copy of this NOV was also sent to and
received by Environmental Restoration, LLC. (ER). ER has been tasked by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency), under contract EP-S4-07-04, to implement the soil
cleanup at the above referenced Site. The Agency is committed in addressing the violation listed
in your April 26 NOV but requests a thirty (30) day extension for submitting the requested plans,
the Sediment Removal Plan and the Stream Restoration Plan, as explained below. These plans
will provide the information requested.
To help prevent/eliminate additional erosion issues at the Site in the fiiture, ER will not
be excavating such a large area as the one that lead to the past erosion issues. ER will be staging
their work across the larger parcels so that the section initially excavated will be close to being
hydro-seeded and covered with straw and erosion control matting before the last section of that
parcel is excavated. ER is also developing erosion control figures for each new parcel to be
excavated. These figures include pertinent features of the parcel (topography, streams, etc.) and
the location of all erosion control structures. These figures will be shared with the field crews to
get their input before excavation is initiated.
Prior to receipt of the April.26 NOV, ER at the direction-of EPA, contacted a local
environmental consultant(Altamont Environmental,Inc.). Altamont Environmental was
requested to submit a proposal to provide technical assistance to address the issues mentioned
during the April 5, 2011 meeting. ER met with the consultant at the Site on April 6, 2011, to

review the issues as well as visually inspect the areas of concern. Altamont Environmental
submitted a proposal to ER on April 26, 2011. As part of their effort to prepare their April 26
proposal, Altamont Environmental contacted NCDENR Division of Water Quality (DWQ) at
which time DWQ informed Altamont Environmental that no information could be disclosed
prior to EPA/ER being notified. Due to the uncertainty of the scope of work to be performed by
Altamont Environmental, EPA, ER, and Altamont Environmental concurred that it would not be
prudent to contract with Altamont Environmental until after the scope of effort was better
defined (i.e., receipt of the letter from NCDENR).
Upon receipt of the April 26, 2011 NOV, ER forwarded the NOV to Altamont
Environmental for input into the proposal previously requested. Altamont Environmental
submitted their proposal on May 10 (enclosed). Altamont Environmental specified it would take
two weeks to prepare the two requested plans following their field work at the Site. The
additional requested time is for EPA and ER to review these plans and provide feedback to
Altamont Environmental.
With regard to Item III. Wetland Standards in the April 26 NOV, ER has recently
completed implementing the requested actions recommended by Mr. Tyler Crumbley,
Regulatory Specialist, Asheville Regulatory Field Office for the US Army Corps of Engineers.
At your request, Mr. Crumbley visited the Site on May 5. Photographs of the completed work
were recently forwarded to Mr. Crumbley for his review.
As stated above, the Agency will address the identified violations as quickly as feasible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 1-800-435-9233 (ext 28820) or 404-
562-8820.

Subject: Revised Proposal in Response to NOV-2011-SS-0009
Barber Orchard Superfund Site
1-07 Barber Hill Drive
Waynesville, Haywood County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brinkmeyer,
Thank you for providing Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont)the opportunity to submit this revised
proposal to assist you with a response.to a Notice of Violation (NOV) regarding potential impacts to streams
and wetlands at the Barber Orchard site located near Waynesville, North Carolina. This letter contains a
Background, Scope of Services,Schedule,and Estimated Costs.based on a site visit conducted by Altamont
on April 6, 2011 and actions required by the NOV.
Background
Altamont understands that the Division of Water Quality, Division of Land Quality, and Aquifer Protection
Section, of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR) conducted a site
visit to Barber Orchard on March 24, 2011 and again on April 5, 2011. Environmental Restoration, LLC(ER)
contacted Altamont on April 5, 2011 and Altamont conducted a site visit on April 6, 201.1.
An NOV was issued to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and to ER on April 26, 2011 and
requires responses for the following specific violations:
n Other Waste (In-stream Sediment)- 15A NCAC 02B.0211(3)f. An undetermined number of feet of
unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by sediment deposition resulting in a strearn
standard violation,
• Removal of Best Usage-15A NCAC 0213.0211 (2). An undetermined number,of feet of unnamed
tributaries to Richland Creek were impacted by excavating stream channels resulting in stream
standard violations.
• Wetland Standards-15A NCAC 02B.0231.(b). An undetermined amount of potential wetlands have
been impacted from fill material and other disturbances.
Scope of Services i
The activities proposed below represent Altamont's recommendations for the site based on our site visit,
conversations with ER, and the referenced NOV.

I
Phase 1:Stream.Identification, Wetland Delineation, and Assessment of Impacts to Surface Water
Altamont will begin this phase of the work by contacting DENR to present them with our intended scope of
work and schedule: Additionally,Altamont will attain all appropriate data from the US Army Corps of
Engineers (ACE), Federal Emergency Management Agency, and DENR to determine what hydrology has been
identified and delineated on site.
Altamont will conduct a stream determination at the site to identify existing ephemeral, intermittent, and
perennial streams. Additionally,Altamont will delineate wetlands found on site.
Finally,Altamont will quantify the volume and extent of sediment impacts to the streams and wetlands on
site that have resulted from remedial work taking place at Barber Orchard. Altamont will flag locations of
streams and wetlands and will record these locations using a sub-foot accurate GPS unit. Altamont will
identify and record evidence of impacts using a digital camera.
Altamont will survey the streams and wetlands on site to create a design for the restoration of the impacted
reaches of streams and wetlands.
i
Phase 2:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Plan
Altamont will correspond with DENR and ACE to confirm that impacted areas of streams and wetlands are j
identified. Altamont will calculate an approximate volume of sediment that has impacted streams and
wetlands and portray the extent of impacts in a Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration
Plan (Plan). Altamont will prepare a strategy to remove the sediment from impacted streams and wetlands I
on-site and downstream of the site, as necessary. Altamont will prepare a design to stabilize impacted
streambanks and to repair the riparian buffer to within 25 feet of the stream per trout buffer requirements,
which will be included in the Plan. If they exist,the Plan will include restoration of wetlands on site which will j
be coordinated with the DENR and ACE. The Plan will specify materials necessary to remove sediment,
stabilize streambanks, restore the trout buffer,and restore wetlands if necessary. I
The Plan will include a description for soil testing for primary contaminants to ensure the proper disposal of
sediment as specified in the NOV. The Plan will also include a description of how the site will be stabilized
short term and long term to prevent further impacts from sediment to water quality. We assume that
jurisdictional determinations of streams and wetlands will be required based on language in the NOV.
The Plan will be made available to ER for review prior to submittal to regulatory agencies. Once the Plan has
been approved by the appropriate agencies,Altamont will schedule,direct, and observe work on the I
impacted streams. i
i
Phase 3:Sediment Removal and Stream and Wetland Restoration Implementation
i
Once the Plan has been.approved by the regulatory agencies,Altamont will begin accepting bids from
qualified contractors to implement the Plan. Altamont understands that ER will provide the labor and
materials necessary to implement the sediment removal portion of the Plan.
Altamont will provide the Plan'to eligible and qualified contractors and receive cost estimates to implement
the streambank stabilization;trout buffer restoration, and wetland restoration work. However, if ER would
like to provide the necessary labor and materials for this portion of the work, please let us know.
Altamont is available to conduct soil testing on removed sediment for primary contaminants if requested. In
order.to reduce cost, it would be beneficial for ER to provide a location for disposal of sediment removed
from the streams and wetlands during the work.

Altamont will conduct construction observation during the Plan implementation phase. Additionally,
Altamont will prepare a final report that will be provided to ER for review prior to submittal the regulatory
agencies:
Schedule
Altamont can initiate work on Phase 1 of the project immediately upon receiving written notice to proceed.
Signing of our Agreement for Professional Services and Terms and Conditions documents will serve.as this
notice. Altamont assumes that Phase 1 will require one day of office work and three days of field work.
Altamont will prepare a Sediment Removal and'Streahn and Wetland Restoration Plan (Plan)as described in
Phase 2 within two weeks of completion of assessment field work.
Altamont will issue an additional proposal for Phase 3 immediately upon completing work for Phase 1 and 2.
Estimated Cost
The estimated cost to complete the Phase 1 and 2 of the proposed scope of services is!
Altamont bills on the basis of time and expenses incurred. If necessary time and expenses are less than
anticipated,the invoiced amount will be less than.estimated. If additional time or expenses are.required,
Altamont will notify you of these changes as they are:recognized.
Completion of Phase 1 of the project in accordance with the estimated budget and schedule is based on the
foregoing descriptions and the following assumptions:
• If wetlands are not recognized to be impacted on site,this could reduce the cost of the proposed
scope of services.
• Jurisdictional stream,and wetland determinations from ACE will be required.
• A survey of the streams and wetlands on site is necessary. I
• ER will supply the labor and materials.to remove sediment from impacted streams while Altamont
observes these activities to be in accordance with the approved plans.
• Altamont will solicit cost estimates from qualified contractors for construction of stream and wetland
restoration.
• Only minimal correspondence with DENR and ACE and one revision of the Plan will be required.•
i
• Altamont is provided access to work areas of the properties on an agreed-upon date without delay. j
• Utilities will not interfere with the proposed work and that ER is responsible for all utility location
associated with this project.
• Inclement weather does not delay work progress.

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August 19, 2011.
Barber Orchard. Page 1
1.0 Introduction and Background
The Barber Orchard site is located in Haywood County, North Carolina,_three:miles west of Waynesville
(Figure 1). According to-the United States Environmental Protection Agency:(EPA),the former orchard
consisted of approximately 438 acres and was used to grow apples from 1908 to 1988, at which time,the
bank that was holding the-loan foreclosed on the owners of the orchard. In 1988,the bank began-.selling:
tracts of the land in.various sizes. At the present time, some of the property is being used for agricultural
production, commercial, cultural (i.e., churches), and light industrial purposes. The remainder is
undeveloped, and it is anticipated that the majority of the undeveloped property will eventually be developed
as residential property.
In early 1999,the Haywood County Health Department sampled a concerned resident's potable well..
Pesticides were detected;which prompted.a larger sampling effort by the State of North Carolina. The.
results were forwarded to the EPA, which initiated a pesticide removal action that began in.October 1999
and was completed in August 2000(.EPA).
A subsequent phase of remediation is currentlytaking place and involves soil removal and remediation. The
EPA Region 4 Superfund Division has taken responsibility for removing and remediating contaminated soils .
at the Barber Orchard site. Environmental Restoration, LLC (ER) has been contracted by the EPA to remove
contaminated soils over an approximately 120-acre area within the project area.
Barber Orchard is located in the Richland Creek watershed, a sub-basin to the French Broad River
Watershed. At least seven unnamed tributaries(UT) of Richland Creek,with perennial, intermittent,
ephemeral,,and wetland components exist within the project site.:Perennial streams within and downstream
of the project are classified by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), Division of Water Quality(DWQ) as Class C Trout Streams. The DENR, Land Quality Section.protects.
a minimum 25-foot trout buffer along classified trout streams.
In-some locations within the remediation work project area,soil excavation and removal activities have
impacted trout buffers, wetlands,springs,-and tributaries to Richland Creek. These impacts were described
in a Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement and Injunctive Relief(NOV) issued by.DENR,
Surface Water Protection.Section dated April 26, 2011 for the Barber Orchard Superfund Site. The NOV was
issued to Mr.Jon Bornholm, Remedial Project Manager, EPA Region 4 Superfund Division and Mr. David A.
Brinkmeyer, CHMM,..VP-Government.Contracts, Environmental Restoration,LLC.:
The referenced NOV indicated a Response Deadline of.May 16, 2011. An extension was issued,by Ms.
Susan Wilson with DWQ on May 16, 2011. Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont)was contracted by ER on
May 20, 2011 to address violations outlined in the,NOV. Between.the dates of May 26, 2011 and June 3,.
2011,Altamont conducted field work within and downstream of the project area. A draft Sediment Removal
and-Stream Restoration Plan was submitted to ER and the DENR.on June 21, 2011. A meeting requested by
DWQ:and approved by ER was conducted between Ms.Susan Wilson (DWQ)and Altamont on July 12, 2011
to discuss:DENR concerns and refine the referenced draft plan. A.final`ized Sediment Removal and Stream.
Restoration Plan was submitted to DENR on July 15, 2011.-
The Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan outlined the following actions to be taken.by ER,
• Develop a plan for future remedial activities to avoid existing tributaries to Richland Creek and
protect the 25-foot trout buffer on either side of all identified streams
• Stabilize areas disturbed by remedial activities at the.site.that are.impacting or have the potential to
impact trout buffers and tributaries to Richland Creek
• Restore headwater tributaries indicated in the Plan and on Figure-2
P:\Environmental Restoration LLC\Barber Orchard\Final Report\Final Report.Docx

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August 19, 2011
Barber Orchard Page 2
• Remove sediment that has impacted streams resulting from recent remedial activities taking.place
at the site
This Final Report describes the mitigation actions specified in the Sediment.Removal and Stream
Restoration Plan and how they were implemented. Please note that not all of the work outlined in the
Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan has been implemented due to the fact that a large staging
area (denoted in green on Figure 2) lies immediately upstream and upslope of UT 7a and Restoration Area
7,1. It is anticipated that this staging area will be used through early September, and has the potential to
impact the restoration area. During a phone conversation on August 17, 2011, Ms. Susan Wilson agreed
that it would be more effective to wait until ER has completed remedial work and has closed out and
stabilized the staging area prior to restoring the referenced stream below the staging area. Closing the
staging area is anticipated to take place by September 9, 2011, with restoration of UT 7a taking place within
a week after that. Altamont will issue a letter to DENR describing the restoration work on UT 7a, along with
photo documentation.

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August 19, 2011
Barber Orchard Page 3
2.0 Site Stabilization and Stream Restoration
2.1 Site Stabilization
As of August 17, 2011, disturbed areas at the Barber Orchard site appeared to have been stabilized.with an
erosion control seed mix or a riparian buffer seed mix, mulch,fertilizer, and slope matting. Areas outside of
the 25-foot trout buffer were seeded with an erosion control seed mix, which included:
• 59.5%VNS Tall Fescue
• 19.5%Annual Ryegrass
• 9.75% Creeping Red Fescue
• 4.8%White Clover
• 4.7% Kentucky Bluegrass
Areas inside the 25-foot trout buffer were seeded with a riparian seed mix, which included:
• 20% Fox Sedge
• 5%Soft Rush
• 5% Lurid Sedge
• 20%VA Wild Rye
• 15% Deertongue
• 10%Switchgrass
• 25% Browntop Millet
Since the Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan was submitted and accepted by DENR, ER
appears to have avoided and will continue to avoid disturbing the 25-foot trout buffer area from remedial
activities.
According to ER,the Barber Orchard site has become infested with Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).
According to North Carolina State University's Center for Turfgrass Environmental Research & Education,
"the fall armyworm feeds on a wide range of plants, but prefers grasses. Damage to bermudagrass
in the southern U.S. is most common, but fescue, ryegrass, bentgrass, and bluegrass are also
attacked. Lush, green turfgrass is the most frequently attacked host. Fall armyworm caterpillars
feed only above the ground on the foliage of the turf. Larger larvae often consume most of the leaf
tissue and in the case of bermudagrass,the turf often takes on the appearance that it has been
subject to frost. The damage often begins along one edge of the turf area and moves across.
Bermudagrass usually recovers from such damage, but feeding late in the fall may stress the turf
going into the winter and result in some winterkill. Cool season turfgrass can be permanently
damaged if the growing tips are destroyed."
There is obvious evidence that the grasses on the site are suffering as shown in the attached representative
photographs (Appendix A). ER stated that they have treated the grasses with a pesticide to rid the fall
armyworm. ER has stated that care has and will be taken to keep pesticides out of the trout buffer and
surface water at the site. ER is in the process of re-hydroseeding some of the steeper slopes and areas that
have extensive damage to the vegetation and are showing signs of instability attributed to the fall armyworm
and subsequent erosion. ER has stated that they are closely monitoring vegetative success of grasses
installed at the site and is re-hydroseeding as necessary.

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August 19, 2011
Barber Orchard Page 4
2.2 Stream Restoration
Based on Altamont's assessment of the seven tributaries to Richland Creek at the Barber Orchard site,
stabilization and restoration measures were needed on UT 5 and UT 7. Stabilization and restoration areas
are referred to as RA(Restoration Area) in Figure 2 and are numbered according to which UT they are
located on. Representative site photographs and descriptions referenced below may be found in Appendix
A.
2.2.1 UT 5
2.2.1.1 RA 5.1
The large non-stabilized slope that was located east and upslope of UT 5 across from Myers Lane adjacent
to RA 5.1 has been hydroseeded,fertilized, mulched, and stabilized with slope matting. This slope is one of
the areas that has been treated for fall armyworms. Once the staging area, located at the top of the
referenced slope is closed out(September 9, 2011), ER will stabilize this area using the same methods as
used to stabilize the slope (Photos 8 and 9).
Sediment fence within this area and the 25-foot trout buffer will be removed and reinstalled outside the 25-
foot buffer once the staging area and slope are vegetated and stable. Disturbed areas within the 25-foot
buffer will be seeded with a riparian seed mix. Seeded areas will then be fertilized, mulched with straw, and
matted. Care will be taken to keep fertilizer out of the stream.
The landowner of the property where RA 5.1 is located has stated that he does not want live stakes or bare
root installed within the buffer area. Unless the DENR informs landowners on the site that woody vegetation
must be installed within trout buffers, ER will not install any additional vegetation within the buffer other
than the riparian seed mix. ER can provide contact information to the DENR if requested.
2.2.1.2 RA 5.2
The non-stabilized slope located east and upslope of UT 5 at RA 5.2 has been stabilized with seed,fertilizer,
mulch, slope matting, and riprap. This slope was also infested and treated for fall armyworms, but appeared
stable on August 17, 2011 (Photos 10, 11, 12, 13, 26, and 27).
Three sediment traps have been installed to treat stormwater runoff at RA 5.2 before entering UT 5 as
shown on Figure 2 (Photos 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18).
Slit fences have been removed from the 25-foot trout buffer and vegetation appears to be thriving within the
buffer (Photos 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25).
2.2.1.3 RA 5.3
The culvert that conveys UT 5 beneath an existing crossing in the area designated as SA(Sediment Removal
Area) 5.4,which reportedly had been partially crushed prior to ER's work, remains damaged but appears
stable. ER stopped using this crossing for site access after the Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration
Plan was finalized and submitted. This area and access route were seeded with a riparian seed mix and
mulched with straw, and the vegetation appears to be thriving(Photos 31 and 32).
2.2.2 UT 7
2.2.2.1 RA 7.1
The staging area denoted in green on Figure 2 upstream of RA 7.1 will be closed out and stabilized by
September.9, 2011 according to ER. Once the staging area upstream of RA 7.1 is regraded and stabilized,
P:\Environmental Restoration LLC\Barber Orchard\Final Report\Final Report.Docx

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August.19, 2011
Barber Orchard. Page.S
restoration work outlined in the,Sediment Removal and.Stream Restoration.Plan will be implemented.
Altamont will follow up with a letter to DENR documenting that UT 7a has been restored and.that slopes
adjacent to RA 7.1 have been stabilized.
2.2.2.2 RA 7.2
The slope upstream and adjacent to.the.intermittent UT 7b, where RA 7.2 is located, appears stable, is
vegetated, and is matted. The buffer is seeded with a riparian buffer seed mix and slope matting,is:
installed. The intermittent UT 7b channel appears stable and little flow was present during,a site inspection
conducted on August 9, 2011 (Photo 38)...The property owner declined ER's request to install livestakes and
bare root on UT 7b (Photos.35 and 36). ,However, ER installed a temporary sediment trap upstream of UT 7b
(Photo 38)
2.2.2.3 RA 7.3
Vegetation is established and:appears.to be thriving within.the 25_foot trout buffer alongthe RA.7.3 reach.
The property owner declined ER's request to install live stakes and bare root on UT 7c (Photos-39 and 40).

Sediment Removal and Stream Restoration Plan August 19, 2011.
Barber Orchard Page 6
3.0 Sediment Removal
Based on Altamont's assessment of the seven tributaries to Richland Creek at the Barber Orchard site,
sediment removal measures were needed on UT 1, UT 5, and UT 7. Sediment Removal Areas are referred to
as SA in Figure 2 and are numbered according to which UT they are located on. Representative site
photographs and descriptions referenced below may be found in Appendix A.
3.1 UT 1
3.1.1 SA 1.1
The property owner of the parcel where the pond at SA 1.1 exists will not allow sediment removal from this
area. ER can provide contact information to the DENR if requested. Altamont's opinion is that removal of
accumulated sediment from the pond would be preferable, but that leaving the sediment in the pond may be
acceptable due to the sediment apparently becoming stabilized with vegetation (Photos 1 and 2).
3.1.2 SA 1.2
Sediment has been removed from SA 1.2 and from the pond downstream of area SA 1.2 using a vacuum
truck. Approximately seven cubic yards of sediment was removed from both ponds and was disposed of off-
site at the Canton, North Carolina paper mill landfill currently operated by Evergreen Packaging(Photos 3, 4,
5, 6, and 7).
3.2 UT 5
3.2.1 SA 5.1
Sediment located at SA 5.1 was removed using an excavator and was disposed of off-site at a Canton, North
Carolina paper mill landfill currently operated by Evergreen Packaging. Additionally, a sediment trap was
installed in this area (Photos 14, 15, 16, and 17).
3.2.2 SA 5.2
Two sediment traps were installed uphill of SA 5.2 and were sized and positioned to detain and filter
stormwater prior to it flowing from the BMP (Photo 28). According to ER, installation of these two sediment
traps addressed the flow of concentrated stormwater to the extent that installing the sediment trap at SA 5.2
was unnecessary. SA 5.2 has been stabilized with seed, mulch, and rip rap (Photos 18, 19, 20, and 21).
3.2.3 SA 5.3
Sediment located at SA 5.3 was removed using an excavator and was disposed of at the Canton, North
Carolina paper mill landfill currently operated by Evergreen Packaging. The area was stabilized with seed,
mulch, and slope matting and vegetation appears to be thriving(Photos 29 and 30).
3.2.4 SA 5.4
Sediment located at SA 5.4 was removed by hand using buckets and shovels (Photos 33 and 34).

4.0. Conclusions and Recommendations
Some site stabilization and erosion control measures were installed by ER prior to Altamont being under
contract for construction observation and were installed without Altamont's observation. Altamont will be.:'
on-site during all stream restoration activities on UT 7 which will occur beginning September 9, 2011. .
Altamont will conduct an inspection•of the site when observing final restoration work. Altamont recommends
that members of Division of Water Quality and Land Quality Section of the DENR makefiollow-up site visits to
ensure compliance with land quality and surface water regulations are being met. Furthermore;Altamont
recommends that the DENR contact the property owners at.the site and inform them of Land Quality:and
Water Quality regulations pertaining to the protection of surface waters and associated buffers at the site.
