Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheetsof narrative and checklists as necessary)
On January 13,20171 (Dan Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 4699 Linville Falls
Hwy in Avery County. The owners Clay and Beverly Cuthbertson were present for the duration of the
inspection. Currently this property is used as a seasonal Christmas Shop which is open 7-8 months
per year. The general appearance of the system was functional and clean. There was no detectable
sewage smell or other sign of septic system failure. The only input to the septic system is a single
toilet.
We located the effluent pipe which was partly filled with dry dirt. Given that the dirt in the pipe was
completely dry, I believe the system is not discharging. Mr. Cuthbertson said that he would inspect the
effluent pipe for discharge periodically.
Mr. Cuthbertson had the septic tank pumped on February 1, 2017 by Al Appalachian Pumping.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Inspector, Mikal Willmer with the Asheville Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of Giles Chemical's Non-Contact Cooling Water system that supplies the barometric
condenser on February 13, 2017. Deborah Durbin, Director of Quality and Safety for Giles Chemical,
was present and assisted in the inspection.
The non-contact cooling water storage tank is showing signs of rust and age, but there were no visible
leaks around the tank.The PVC influent and effluent pipes to and from Richland Creek were well
maintained.There appeared to be some water leaking just inside of the building, however, not in
sufficient quantity to reach the back door. Giles chemical has placed a berm just outside of the door
leading to Richland Creek to help minimize the chance of runoff.A catwalk has been installed along the
backside of the building to allow safe access from the side of the building.The pipe running along the
creek behind the building was also recently replaced.
All monitoring data was readily available for review and was within permit limits. Giles Chemical is only
required to monitor flow, temperature and pH semi-annually. Richland Creek appeared to be free of any
visual impairments from the permitted discharge.
There did not appear to be any violations of the NCG500000 Permit at the time of the inspection.A
previous inspection indicated it was acceptable for Giles Chemical to only monitor upstream and
downstream.They have added effluent monitoring at all outfalls to satisfy all permit conditions.
Giles Chemical should label all of the discharge pipes exiting the backside of the building. Currently only three discharge pipes directly below the non-contact cooling water storage tank are labeled. There
are three additional discharge pipes exiting the backside of the building.Also, please clarify in any
future permit renewals the number of separate discharge points. The most recent renewal only
indicated three outfalls.

Met onsite with staff, Robert Joyce and Jason Green. Dan Boss with DWR was also present.
This facility discharges its wastewater to the City of Morganton's sewer system. On average they
discharge—135,000 gpd to the sewer,worst case—250,000 gpd.
The facility has a filter press and brings the sludge cakes to the landfill for disposal.
We walked the site and discussed the wastewater management processes.We also discussed
stormwater drainage inlets in the area of the wastewater system.
Although the facility is not likely to discharge to the stream, the City of Morganton chooses to keep this
permit active,just in case the need should arise.

Subject: Complaint Investigation
Chimney Rock Estates
Dear Ms. Shannon:
On February 27, 2017,this office received a complaint call from a representative of Chimney
Rock Estates regarding two parallel culverts on your property on Chimney Rock Road that
convey Reedypatch Creek(Class C; Trout)under Southern Scenic Heights Road. The nature of
the complaint was that the culverts were clogged, damaged, and backing up water.
On March 1, 2017, I met with a resident of Chimney Rock Estates to investigate the complaint.
At the time of the inspection,no water quality violations associated with the culverts were
r observed. However,I did observe a number of concerns associated with the two culverts.
Pictures of the culverts provided to me depict a deformed culvert that did not appear to
effectively convey water. The culvert has subsequently been returned to a state where it does
convey water. If the infrastructure on your property results in a significant restriction of flow to
downstream receiving waters,that may be considered a violation of Title 15A of the North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02B .0211(2),which requires that the waters
be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity.
It appeared that the restriction of flow in Reedypatch Creek, due to the distorted culvert, resulted
in water backing up and significant erosion of the headwall and fill above the culvert. Each of the
two culverts appeared to have been displaced at joints under the road,which could potentially
result in`sediment loss to the stream. Sediment is considered a contaminant and any sediment lost
to the stream from the fill material above the culvert may be considered a violation of 15A
NCAC 02B .0211(12),which prevents the discharge of other waste (i.e. sediment) in any amount
that renders the waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation, or aquatic life.
This office strongly recommends that you have the culverts evaluated, and replaced if necessary,
to ensure Reedypatch Creek is not impounded in any way by the culverts,that there is no
restriction of flow to downstream aquatic habitat, and no sediment is lost to the stream channel
due to malfunctioning or damaged culverts.

An inspection of the Non-Contact Cooling Water(NCG500321)was also performed.As noted in that
inspection report Shuford staff indicated that the Air Compressor Cooling Tower water discharges to
the Wastewater Septic/Sand filter system and not directly to the creek.This needs to be verified and
quantified.
Flows are estimated by water usage(City Water). The quantity of water being discharged through the
Cooling Water discharge pipe and the Wastewater discharge pipes is unclear.An estimate needs to
be obtained during sampling events at each discharge pipe.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present for inspection were Cecil Cline,Tony Selzer, Keith Johnson and Mike Bradshaw with Shuford
Yarns, Jerry Younce with Water Tech (ORC/Lab)and Dan Boss with DWR.
Site plan reviewed is dated 3/25/1996. The site plan does not appear to be accurate any longer and
needs to be updated.
Shuford Yarn staff indicated Point A(Air Compressor Cooling Tower)on the site plan discharges to the
Wastewater Septic/Sand filter system and not directly to the creek.
Staff also indicated the Cooling components associated with Point C are directed to the treatment area
near point B on the South side of the property and discharge to the creek after de-chlorination:
This area of the facility was inspected and staff were instructed to determine where flows from the
concrete pipe(-18-24")were coming from and where the floor drains in the"air wash"room go.
Staff indicate the chemicals approved on the Biocide sheets are still being used, except AWT is no
longer used.
Analytical data reviewed (2015-2016)indicated compliance, however items noted below need to be
undertaken.
Flows are estimated by water usage(City Water). It is not clear how much of this water is being
discharged through the Cooling Water discharge pipe and the Wastewater discharge pipes.An
estimate needs to be obtained during sampling events at each discharge pipe.
Total Residual Chlorine(TRC)at the cooling water effluent discharge pipe is required.
We discussed the annual maintenance of cooling equipment and the potential for a pollutant load to be
discharged during this activity, such as increased flows and concentrated chemicals/metals.
Sampling'during this-activitl should take place to evaluate if effluent limits are met. If staff find limits are
not met during such activities, contact the inspector to discuss what measures the facility plans to put
in place to remediate pollutant load.

Dear Permittee:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted an inspection of the Pilot Travel Center #393 on
February 28, 2017. This inspection was conducted to determine if the facility is operating in compliance with the
conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NCO086053 and to determine whether any steps have
been taken to address the failing system components. A summary of the findings and comments noted during the
inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report.
The Follow-Up Compliance Evaluation inspection was conducted by Division of Water Resources staff from the
Asheville Regional Office. The following violations were noted during the inspection:
Inspection Area Description of Violation
Secondary Clarifier One of the two secondary clarifiers is still offline.At the time of the inspection,
inspectors observed significant floating solids in the operable secondary clarifier,
and the plant was discharging effluent with significant solids and turbidity. [NPDES
Standard Permit Conditions Part 11 C,2 Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls; The
Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the
Permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit,]
Operations &Maintenance The treatment units and facility components appear to be reaching the end of their
useable life.The structural integrity of some of the concrete tanks is suspect and
may present a safety hazard. [NPDES Standard Permit Conditions Part I1.C.2. Operation

Response deadline: March 24, 2017
Dear Mr. Scherer:
On February 28,2017 and March 2,2017,Kevin Mitchell and Tim Fox from the Asheville
Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted site inspections at your
property off Black Beaver Road(Parcel Identification Numbers 8593-64-2665-000 and 8593-74-
0366-000)in response to complaints alleging turbidity in a lake downstream of your property.
During the site inspection, Steel Creek and an un-named tributary to Steel Creek, classified C;
Trout waters, were observed to have been impacted by sediment deposition from land disturbing
activities originating from your property. Recently deposited sediment was measured to be at
least 10 inches in depth. In addition,potential unauthorized impacts to streams and wetlands
were observed(culvert crossings and fill). On March 2, 2017,DWR staff sampled Steel Creek
and an un-named tributary to Steel Creek for turbidity. Background samples were taken above
the project area for reference. In addition, samples were taken within and below the project area
to determine if turbidity levels were exceeding stream standards.' The stream standard for
turbidity on Steel Creek and the un-named tributary to Steel Creek is 10 Nephelometric Turbidity
Units (NTUs).
As a result of the site inspection and file review,the following violations were identified:

.0211 (12) An undetermined length of Steel Creek and an un-named tributary to Steel
Creek, classified C; Trout were impacted by sediment deposition measured to be at least
10 inches in depth throughout the stream reaches, representing Water Quality Stream
Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B..0211 (12).
H. Stream Standard Violation - Turbidity 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (21)— On March 2,
2017, DWR obtained water samples from Steel Creek and an un-named tributary to Steel
Creek to analyze for turbidity. The sample results were as follows:
Sample 41 2.4 NTUs Un-named tributary to Steel Creek; Above Scherer

Sam le#8 60 NTUs Steel Creek.-250 feet below falls; Mouth of lake
Sam le#9 39NTUs I Steel Creek; lVliddle of-Lake
III. Conditions of Best Usage- 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2)—The stream impacts from
unauthorized culvert installation and fill,in-stream waste(sediment) discharges, and
turbidity violations are a violation of Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B
.0211 (2) which 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."
IV. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification—A review of records confirmed
that the DWR nor the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)has received an application
for a 404 permit or 401 Water Quality Certification(WQC),prior to the impacts noted
above. Such an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
and Part 15A of North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0500.

REQUIRED RESPONSE
Accordingly, you are directed to respond to this letter in writing by March 24, 2417. Your
response should be sent to this office at the footer address or via email to
kevin mitchell(a-),ncdenr.gov and include the following:
1. Please provide documentation(including a detailed site map/survey) depicting all
jurisdictional water features (e.g. streams,wetlands,buffers) on the site. This
documentation should describe and quantify the impacts to those jurisdictional features,
and should include plans to avoid further stream and wetland impacts on the site.
2. The site must be stabilized immediately and/or proper erosion control measures installed
to prevent ongoing and continuing sedimentation impacts.
3. Please submit the following documents for review and approval:
a. Sediment Removal Plan- Sediment impacts to the streams onsite and downstream
of the site must be removed. As a part of this plan,you should provide the amount
(depth) of material that has been deposited in the stream. This information should
be depicted on a map you provide. It is recommended that you use hand labor
(buckets, shovels, and wheelbarrows)to remove deposited sediment from the
channel_ The sediment should be removed from the channel,taken to high ground
away from the stream channel a minimum of thirty feet, and stabilized. The plan
must address the measures that will be used for temporary stabilization/sediment
control while this work is under way. You must secure a consultant experienced
in stream restoration to assist you with your plan development and authorization
necessary to achieve compliance.
b. Please include in your response a detailed schedule with dates explaining when
the restoration will be accomplished. Once the work is complete,,a final report
documenting the results of the restoration should be submitted to Kevin Mitchell.
4. Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 WQC:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for and receive a 404
Permit pertaining to the existing culverts and any unauthorized fill. A 401 WQC
will be required if the activities are permitted by the Corps. The application
process as described does not guarantee the impacts will be approved.
Note that if option one is pursued, all culverts must meet the condition of the
Water Quality Certification entitled Placement of Culverts and Other Structures
in Water and Wetlands. "Placement of culverts and other structures in waters
and streams must be below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all
culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert
diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of aquatic life. "

Graham County, NC
Dear Ms. Claudene Cody, Mr. Dirk Cody, Mr. David Cody and Ms. Dana Cody-Adams,
Chapter 143,.North.Carolina General,Statutes,(NCGS.),.directs and authorizes.the Environmental
Management Commission of the Department of Environmental Quality to protect and preserve the
water and air resources of the State.The Division of Water Resources has the delegated authority
to enforce water pollution control laws and regulations.
On August 16,2016,staff of the Graham County Health Department and the Emergency Services
Office requested the assistance of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources(DWR) in
responding to an ongoing discharge of petroleum to Tulula Creek and the.Cheoah.River in the Town
of Robbinsville. DWR staff from the Asheville Regional Office(ARO)were dispatched to the location
to assist in identifying the source and evaluating the impact to the receiving stream. Free phase
gasoline was observed discharging from the west-bank of Tulula Creek along a 600-ft. reach of
stream between Jordon Street and Patton Street.Tulula Creek and the Cheoah River are classified
as Class C Streams with additional designations for Trout Waters and a Water Supply-111 Critical
Area.A secondary drinking water intake for the Town of Robbinsville is located approximately
1,500-feet downstream from the release area.
After determining the extensive nature of the impact, DWR staff requested that the United States
Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) Region 4 emergency response unit provide further

3 assistance and resources.The USEPA provided four days of continuous emergency response in
terms of air monitoring,surface water monitoring, and free product removal from the stream.
Initial surface water sampling results indicated petroleum related constituents including benzene,
ethylbenzene, naphthalene,toluene, and xylene were present in Tulula Creek and the Cheoah River
immediately downstream of the release. Benzene and toluene concentrations exceeded the surface
water standards for water supply(15A NCAC 02B .0211)and freshwater aquatic life(15A NCAC 02B
`! .0215) respectively.The ongoing petroleum release resulted in the closure of the Tulula water
treatment plant,a drinking water consumption advisory for the Town of Robbinsville, a
recreational-use advisory for Tulula Creek/Cheoah River, and the evacuation of several residents
j due to vapor hazards.As of the last day of February 2017,the recreational-use stream advisory and
the closure of the water treatment plant has been in effect for 196 days.
On August 17, 2016, persons representing the facility located at 272 Rodney Orr Bypass, indicated
the premium unleaded gasoline underground storage tank(s) (UST)were found to be losing
{ petroleum product.The USEPA issued the owner a Notice of Federal Interest(NOFI)and named the
Crown Food Mart as the potential responsible party(PRP).
jOn September 2, 2016,a Notice of Violation and Notice of Intent to Enforce bearing the same
number(NOV-2016-OC-0003)was sent to Claudene Cody DBA Texaco Food Mart. Upon
{ information and belief,the additional addressees- Dirk Cody, David Cody and Dana Cody-Adams—
{ are owners of the property located at272Rodney Orr Bypass and, along with Claudene Cody DBA
Texaco Food-Mart, are responsible parties for the following violations of North Carolina law
enforced by DWR.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bromead:
On March 8, 2017,Kevin Mitchell and Amy Annino from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Resources (DWR)conducted a site inspection at your property on Waters
Edge,Lot 74 (PIN Number 2765107968) in Caldwell County responding to a complaint alleging
unauthorized clearing within the riparian buffer on the Catawba River (Lake Rhodhiss).
DWR staff observed and noted impacts to the riparian buffer on the Catawba River(Lake
Rhodhiss)which is subject to the Catawba River Buffer Rules. Impacts to the buffer include
removal of vegetation within the 50-f6ot buffer of the Catawba River. These unauthorized
activities are in violation of the Catawba Buffer Rules.
As a result of the site inspection and file review,the following violations were identified:

REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWR requests that you respond by the response deadline. Your response should be sent to
the attention of Kevin Mitchell,Division of Water Resources,2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,
NC 28778 and should address the following items:
1. Catawba Buffer Violation.
a. ' Please explain why the activity occurred without prior authorization.
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the buffer impact:
1. Apply to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of
Water Resources for and receive a Buffer Authorization for the buffer impacts
that have occurred if these activities are allowable in the Table of Uses (Catawba
Buffer Rules). The application process as described does not guarantee the
impacts will be approved.
2. Restore the buffer to pre-existing conditions which includes the restoration of the
riparian buffer.
If pursuing Option 1:
Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Buffer
Authorization Application submitted to DWR.
If pursuing Option 2:
Riparian Zone planting Please submit a Restoration Plan to this office for review
and approval. This plan must be developed to ensure that disturbed vegetation be
replanted in an"in kind"manner. (Example: Disturbed areas with pre-existing
grassed lawns must be replanted with grass. Disturbed areas with pre-existing trees
or woody vegetation must be replanted with trees and woody vegetation. Disturbed
areas with pre-existing forest vegetation must be replanted with forest vegetation
including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density sufficient to
provide 260 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be achieved by
planting approximately 43 6 (10 x 10 spacing)to 681 (8 x 8 spacing)trees per acre.)
Restoration of trees/shrubs/forest must be completed by the first subsequent planting
season(November 1 through March 30). Note, if the tree plantings do not survive,
they will need to be replaced such that the density is sufficient to provide 260 trees
per acre at maturity. This plan must include the types of native woody vegetation

Subject: Complaint Investigation
Finley Creek
BIMS Incident#201700361
Henderson County
Dear Mr. O'Connor:
On March 10,2017,this office received a complaint call from a resident whose property borders
Finley Creek. The complainant alleged that Finley Creek was running a milky white and was
extremely turbid the afternoon of March 9th into the morning of March 1 Oth. I investigated the
complaint on the l Oth and determined that the source of the turbidity was from the replacement
of a culvert that conveys an unnamed tributary of Finley Creek under Ore Brae Lane. The
property owner indicated that you performed the culvert replacement the afternoon of March 9,
2017.
We spoke on the phone on March 13, 2017, regarding the turbidity complaint,the permitting
process for the culvert, and the Division of Water Resource's (DWR's) 401 Water Quality
P Y p y
Certification(�NQC).'As'I stated on the hone if ou wish to e�torm work iri ari s ream,
wetland, or pond you should contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)to determine
the permitting needs. The Asheville Regional Office of the USACE can be reached at 828-271-
7980. If the USACE determines that you do need a permit,the State has a corresponding WQC
to the USACE permit. If the project exceeds any threshold listed on the applicable WQC,written
approval from the DWR would be required. For projects that do not require written approval,
you must still meet the conditions of the WQC.
I have attached to this email WQC 4085,which corresponds to the USACE Nationwide Permit 3.
Had you contacted the USACE to determine the permitting needs for the culvert replacement,
this is the Nationwide Permit the work likely would have fallen under.Page 2 of the WQC lists
certain.thresholds,which if exceeded,would require written approval from the DWR for the
project. The culvert replacement likely did not exceed any of the listed thresholds, so you would
not have needed written approval from the DWR for the culvert replacement. However, you
would have had to meet the conditions of the WQC. The conditions that we discussed on the
phone were: II.9.,which requires that work in streams be conducted so that the flowing stream
does not come in contact with the disturbed area; II.11. which requires culvert burial with certain
exceptions; and II.14, which prevents direct contact of uncured concrete and waters.

With regard to turbidity,North Carolina's water quality standard for turbidity can be found in
' Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02B .0211. Any activity that
causes an exceedance of the applicable turbidity standard may be considered a violation of the
State's water quality standard. Had you followed the conditions of the WQC,particularly
condition II.9., you likely would not have caused the turbidity observed in Finley Creek.

Dear Mr. Lundblad:
On February 28, 2017,the Division of Water Resources (Division) staff conducted a Compliance Sampling
Inspection at the subject facility. Present during the inspection were Jeff Woodruff with SGL Carbon and Dan
Boss with the Division. This inspection was conducted to determine the Total Residual Chlorine(TRC)levels
in the SGL Carbon effluent and in Silver Creek downstream of the SGL Carbon discharge. TRC levels of an
effluent are determined as compliant at a level of less than 50 ug/l. The Surface Water Standard for TRC
pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B.0211(3) is 17 ug/l.
The SGL Carbon effluent TRC was 1180 ug/l and Silver Creek TRC, downstream of the SGL Carbon
discharge,was 690 ug/l. Based on these results, SGL Carbon is exceeding the applicable North Carolina 15A
NCAC 02B Surface Water Standard for Total Residual Chlorine.
._._: lease respond in writing wgthin-thirty (30) days of the date of:this letter regarding SGL Carbon's
remedial actions to remove TRC from their effluent discharge to a level that will not violate the Surface
Water Standard of 17 ug/l.

Dear Mr.Johnston,
Chapter 143, Article 21 of the North Carolina General Statutes(G.S.) authorizes and directs the
Environmental Management Commission of the Department of Environmental Quality to
protect and preserve the water resources of the State.The Division of Water Resources(DWR)
has the delegated authority to enforce adopted water pollution control rules and regulations.
On the morning of March 8, 2017,the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) received notification that
a petroleum sheen was observed on the north bank of the French Broad River next to a
residence located at 105 Tap Root Dairy Road (PIN#9642724625). Later that same day,two
inspectors from the ARO were dispatched to the address identified in the complaint. A leaking
Above-Ground Storage Tank (AST) and fuel-saturated soils were observed on the northwest
corner of the residence. A strong petroleum smell and a light petroleum sheen were noted on a
section of the french Broad River approximately 100 feet from the leaking AST. Upon closer
inspection of the riverbank, red-colored petroleum globules (free product)were observed
discharging from the stream bank and into the French Broad River (35.402223, -82.533554).

Subject: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC 02C .0113(d)(2)
City of Asheville Property
200 Bingham Road
Buncombe County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Wanty:
On March 14, 2017,the Asheville Regional Office received your request for a variance to Rule
15A NCAC 02C .113(d)(2).This rule requires that monitoring wells greater than twenty feet in
depth be abandoned by completely filling with a bentonite or cement-type grout. The request is
for a monitoring well installed on City of Asheville property at 200 Bingham Road.
In your request you indicate that the well is cased to approximately seventy-five feet below
ground surface (bgs) and is an open borehole installed in highly fractured bedrock to three
hundred and one feet bgs. Due to the highly fractured nature of the bedrock,there is a concern of
significant grout loss to the factures during well abandonment. The variance application proposes
that the well be abandoned by filling the well with gravel to ten feet bgs, with the remainder of
the well to be filled with bentonite or cement-type grout.
Based upon the information provided, it is my finding that the factors specified are sufficient to
satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC 02C .0118. However,
this variance requires that the well be filled with gravel to at least ten feet below the top of
consolidated rock or five feet below the bottom of the casing. The remainder of the well shall be
filled with a bentonite or cement-type grout.
A copy of this permit,which includes the variance, should be attached to the required Well
Abandonment Record.

Graham County,NC
Dear Mr. Rumbler
Before pursuing an Individual NPDES Discharge Permit with the NC Division of Water
Resources, you will need to have an Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) completed.I have
attached the EAA Guidance Document for your review. You are required to explore all non-
discharge options available since the goal of the Clean Water Act is to reduce and eliminate
discharges to waters of the State. The application for anon-discharge wastewater irrigation permit
is attached.
If during the EAA it is determined your property is unsuitable for any combination of non-
discharging systems, then you can pursue an individual discharge permit with our Division
-(application attached). Please`be aware, not all waters are suited to receive treated wastewater,
discharges. It is beneficial to determine if a discharging system will be allowed based on stream
flow restrictions, classifications, impairments and other water quality criteria listed in the EAA
Guidance Document.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 828-296-4686 or by email at

Inspection Summary:
Inspectors Mika[Willmer and Dan Boss with the Asheville Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of
the Town of Clyde's Collection System on March 20,2017. ORC, Erick Ohliger,was present and assisted in the inspection.
Clyde's collection system is approximately 60 years old.The Town has replaced several of the terracotta lines within the
system.They recently received grant funding to replace the main line leading to the pump station along the Pigeon River.
Line replacement has helped reduce surges in flow due to W by almost 200,000 gallons.The implementation of the Utility
Cloud system allows collection system staff to update their system map as needed and allows them to instantly access
system information.
Overall the system is being very well maintained.The collection system staff take a proactive approach to preventing SSOs.
They have taken steps to educate the public about reporting signs of problems within the system.The staff check
manholes and high priority lines weekly to determine what areas require maintenance.
Currently SSOs below the reportable threshold are not being kept on file. It is recommended the Town of Clyde create and
implement a system for tracking SSOs below the reportable threshold. Permit Condition I11(2)requires adequate records
pertaining to SSOs be maintained for a minimum of three years.
The PERCS provided maintenance log templates can be used and edited to fit the needs of each system. It is
recommended collection system permittees review these logs and their permit conditions to determine if additional
maintenance records are needed.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheetsof narrative and checklists as necessary) -
I (Dan Boss)and Mikal Willmer conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Crane-Resistoflex in
Marion, NC on 3/14/2017. James Freeman guided us through the facility during the inspection.
Resistoflex staff indicated that the non-contact cooling water system has been replaced by chillers
which do not discharge. The boiler blowdown,water is now discharged to the Marion sewer system.
Looking over their test results performed by Pace Analytical, it was clear that Resistoflex was still,
discharging water into the outfalls. Most of the effluent tests for Total Residual Chlorine exceeded the
50 micrograms/L compliance limit. According to Mr. Freeman,the only discharges that they have to
the outfalls besides storm water comes from hydrostatic testing of pipes and contact cooling water.
The wastewater from these systems needs to be plumbed to the Marion sewer or Crane-Resistoflex
needs to apply for an Individual Wastewater NPDES Permit.
Contact the City of Marion sanitary sewer staff regarding the discharge of this additional water to their
system.

Dear Mr. Avery:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
conducted on 3/27/2017. The facility was found to be not compliant with permit NCG551100
because the annual effluent sampling requirements have not been met. The effluent needs to be
sampled and tested by a certified laboratory for BOD,Total Suspended Solids,and Fecal Coliform
Bacteria. Please contact me when this action has been taken. You can call me at 828-296-4658

I (Dan Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 83 Carefree Circle in Jackson County
on 3/27/2017. The owner, Steve Avery,was present for the inspection. The facility consists of a septic
tank,4 peat modules, a pump station, and UV disinfection.
Overall the appearance of the facility was clean and well maintained. i could not determine if the UV
disinfection bulb was working or not. A fecal coliform test should reveal the functionality of it. The
pumps and alarms were tested by Mr.Avery during the inspection and all were found to be operational.
Mr.Avery was not aware of the sampling requirements, but now plans to get the required sampling and
lab tests performed.

Dear Mr. Messer:
On March 16, 2017, I conducted a Follow-Up Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) of the
Single Family Residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system located at 171 Utah Mountain Rd.
This inspection was conducted to ascertain what corrective actions have been taken to bring the
wastewater treatment system back into compliance with,General Permit NCG550000 since the
issuance of the Notice of Violation (NOV-2017-PC-0032). A copy of the inspection report is
enclosed.
To date, the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) has not received a written response detailing your
plans for bringing the system back into compliance. During the inspection, there still appeared to
be some ponding on the bank above Garrett Creek. The effluent pipe has not been repaired or
exposed. Scheduled maintenance of the septic tank was discussed during a phone conversation
with you on February 17, 2017, however,the ARO has not received verification of the work.
Please submit the following items to the ARO within the next 15 days:
• A copy of receipts or documentation of septic tank maintenance
• Plans, with a timeline, for bringing the system back into compliance
If you have any questions or wish to discuss corrective action, please feel free to contact me at
828-296-4686 or by email at [e-mail].

and meet onsite with the permittee, Jeremy Messer.Two messages were left for Mr. Messer prior to
the inspection to discuss corrective actions taken to address the NOV-NOI items.On February 17,
2017 Mr. Messer informed DWR he was having the septic tank pumped and an effluent filter installed
the next day. He also agreed to locate the effluent pipe so the discharge could be easily observed.
No answer at the door during the inspection. The septic tank was exposed on the left side of the
garage.There still appeared to be ponding on the ground near the stream bank and the effluent pipe
has not been repaired and/or exposed. Unable to determine characteristics of the ponding since the
area was partially frozen.
As of 03/16/2017,the ARO has only received a verbal response to the NOV-NOI sent to the permittee.
A written response, containing septic receipts and planned actions for bringing the system back into
compliance,was requested from the permittee during a phone conversation on 02/17/2017.

Mikal Willmerwith the Asheville Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
Maggie Valley WWTP on March.21,2017. ORC, Mike Mehaffey, Backup ORC Mike Corbin and
Operator Seth Boyd were present and assisted in the inspection.
Overall the Maggie Valley WWTP is very well maintained.All DMR data submitted for 2016 was in
compliance with Permit No. NC0056561. There were no violations,of permit conditions noted during the
inspection. The WWTP plant utilizes Aero-Mod technology. ORC reports the staged aeration has
helped to lower TSS, BOD and NH3 in the effluent.The plant also produces Class A sludge for
distribution locally. 17 dry tons were hauled to the landfill in 2016 due to decreased demand.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
I (Dan Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Tuckaseigee RV Resort in Jackson
County on 3/17/2017. The ORC, Mark Teague,was present for the inspection and guided me through
the facility. The facility is now compliant with Permit No. NC0088765.
A significant number of distribution spray nozzles were not working during the inspection. Mark said
they are being cleaned a few times per year. I recommended that he check the nozzles monthly and
clean the nozzles in a pod if more than one of them is not discharging.
The pump station audio alarm wasn't functioning. The visual alarm,high float, and low float were
working. Both of the pumps were operational. Alarms and floats should be checked regularly and
replaced immediately when found to be malfunctioning.
Chlorination and dechlorination have been added to supplement the UV disinfection treatment. Both
are being used in tablet form; One chlorination tube and one dechlorination tube are in use.
The system has a series of several large septic tanks in series. Mark says that the septic tanks are
being pumped out as needed,which is at least semi-annually.
I talked to Wayne Smith (permit owner) about the back-up power system. He said that the generator
was serviced last year by John Whitakind and will send me a copy of the paperwork.
Effluent from the system looked clear. Effluent weir box still was not secured at the time of the
inspection. Mark did get his team to put a lock on the lid later the same day though.
On 3/24/17, I received a video from Environmental Inc. showing that the audio alarm had been repaired.

1 (Dan Boss)conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Newland WWTP in Avery County
on March 29,2017. The ORC, Jadd Brewer, and the Public Works Director, Keith Hoilman, guided me
through the plant inspection. Overall the Newland WWTP looked to be in good.condition and operating
properly.
This facility has two oxidation ditches, but only one is in use since the typical daily flow is much less
than the plant design flow. The mixed liquor in the operating ditch had the proper color and odor. A
significant layer offoam covered half of the oxidation ditch, but it did not appear to be out of control.The
operators spray down the foam with a hose when it gets too thick. Jadd says he tests the mixed liquor
for settleability and keeps it in the range of 40-55%. Typical DO levels range from 1.5-4.0 mg/L
according to Keith and Jadd.
The secondary clarifier needs to have the sludge blanket checked with a sludge judge regularly as part
of process control. The clarifier weirs need to be adjusted as only 2/3 of the v-notches had effluent
flowing throught them. Effluent from the weirs was clear.
The drying beds were clean and not holding any sludge at the time of the inspection.
The UV disinfection was operating,with all bulbs functional. The electronic display interface does not
work, but there are lights that indicate whether each bulb is operational. The bulbs are cleaned once
per month and all the bulbs are replaced.yearly. Intensity for the bulbs is always set at 100%.

Dear Mr.Morgan,
In accordance with the application submitted on your behalf by Chris Singleton on March 14,2017,with
additional information received March 24,2017,we are forwarding well construction permit WR0100055
dated March 29,2017. The permit is for the construction of two recovery wells at 131 Park Street,

Inspection Summary:
Tim Heim and Amy Annino of the Asheville Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on March 28th,
2017. Mike Gibert(ORC)assisted with the inspection and with records and sampling results review.The deemed permitted
collection facility appeared well maintained and operated at the time of the inspection,and in compliance with Permit
WQCSD0287.
The following items were noted in the inspection:
A contractor, HST,provides most of the equipment, personnel,and support for maintenance of the CS. This includes a jet
and vactor truck.The ORC indicates this support is adequate to maintain the collection system in its current state.
Economic conditions in the area served by the collection system have deteriorated in recent years(textile mill closure)to
the point where the tax base may be inadequate to support proper upkeep and maintenance of the collection system and
WWTP.A Joint Sewer Study was performed by WK Dickson&CO Engineering in 2014,and a follow-up engineering
evaluation is being performed to ascertain the feasibility of connecting the Cliffside collection system to the Forest City
WWTP.This would provide a long-term solution to maintaining the collection system,eliminate the Cliffside WWTP
discharge, and should be supported by DEQ staff wherever possible.

Pursuant to G.S. 143 215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health,or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

Within thirty(30)days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality(do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
..__..._.....

Jon 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification'for such ;
request:
\ Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts"form within thirty(30)d4ys of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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

Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may

procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in

such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and

Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for payment, and

Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
`\_it

„,tion 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
requests
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because aremission request forecloses the.option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for payment,and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts form within thirty(30)days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for
