Dear Mr. Kennedy:
On February 3, 2016, I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Deemed Wastewater Collection
System that serves the Singing Waters Camping Resort. Based on the on -site visit and discussions with Mark
Teague of Environmental, Inc., it is understood that the facility is no longer operating and is closed for the
foreseeable future.
Should the facility be returned to operation, it shall be operated and maintained in compliance with the
requirements outlined in 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (Attached) for Deemed Wastewater Collection Systems.
The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Mark Teague in conducting the inspection was greatly appreciated. If
there are questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation, maintenance, or permit
questions, please feel free to contact me at 828-296-4500. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for
additional observations and comments.

Dear Mr. Morlock:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, .which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%2OSystems/CollectionSVstemsHome.htmi
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.
