installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat, millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control. Coir fiber matting should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed
soils in steep slope and riparian areas, and should be secured in place with staples and wherever possible, include live
stakes of native trees.
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or Straw
mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian
zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of permanent _

herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro
mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the establishment of
temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into
surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
5. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning season of
October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout Jr), High
Quality Waters(HQW), or Water Supply I or II(WS-I or WS-II)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating stormwater runoff prior
to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures, shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
9. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
10. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated and disposed of properly.
11. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles (hammer or vibratory) or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically, jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.
'?. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
this certification.
13. All bridge construction shall be performed form the existing bridge, temporary work bridges, temporary causeways or
floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges, they shall be floated into position and then sunk. The
barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along the
bottom of the surface water.
14. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
15. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the bridge, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
16. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
17 The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
18. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize.
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
19. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent

Dear Mr. Crane:
A Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection was conducted at the Neptco facility in Caldwell
County, NC on February 12, 2010. Present during the inspection were Dan Upton with Neptco
and Warren DePree with the City of Lenoir. The facility was found to be in compliance with
permit NCG030148.
The following observations and recommendations were noted during the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) inspection:
Stormwater DischarIze Outfalls
Three piped stormwater conveyances and one overland flow stormwater conveyance were
observed during the inspection. These four stormwater discharge outfalls will require all of the
Analytical and Qualitative monitoring, including Total Toxic Organics Monitoring. Please add
these Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO)to your site plan and monitoring schedule. Also
delineate drainage areas and conveyances for each stormwater discharge.
Housekeeping
Calcium Carbonate was present around the silos and had made its way to the south end of the
parking area. This needs to be cleaned up to avoid possible pollutant loads to nearby waters and
possibly altering pH levels. Although not considered a significant spill, the release of any
product needs immediate attention.
Analytical Stormwater MonitorinLy Submittal
Please submit the next two sampling events analytical monitoring results from all of the
Stormwater Discharge Outfalls to the Asheville Regional Office(ARO) at the following address:

Comment: Site map needs to include all stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) points,
four were observed during inspection. Facility needs to delineate drainage area and
stormwater conveyances.
The facility does not indicate any significant spills in the last three years. Although not
"significant", at the Silos there was what was described as a blow down of Calcium
Carbonate. Calcium Carbonate staining across the parking lot from the Silos and
deposition of Calcium Carbonate in a snow mound was observed during inspection.
The Calcium Cabonate needs to be properly cleaned up.
There does not appear to have been a need for a feasibilty study. Depending on results
from all SDOs it is possible there may be a need for one in the future. Also depending
on the type of product stored in the silos a feasibiity study or possible secondary
containment could be needed in the future. However the facility rep indicates the silos
will be dismantled in the future.

Dear Ms. Tarnawsky:
On February 11,2010, Ms. Susan A. Wilson from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection at Sequoyah National Golf Course in Jackson
County. Mr. Robert Shelton, Jackson County Erosion Control, Mr. Doug Swartz, Superintendent—
Landscapes Unlimited, and Mr. Jason Morrell, Wetland &Ecological Consultants, were also
present during the site visit.
Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 and stream standards violations were noted during
the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to two different areas of an unnamed tributary to
Crooked Creek, a Class C waterbody in the Little Tennessee River basin, were documented
constituting permit and standard violations. Approximately 6— 8 inches of sediment was noted in
pockets along the unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek and to a delineated wetland area below the
failed slope. The pockets were noted along the entire length of the unnamed tributary. Another
unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek, below the driving range area,was also impacted by sediment
due to another incident. This sediment was noted from below the sediment basin up to the pond
(on Mr. Spangenberg's property). It was undetermined how much sediment from the area below
the driving range may be deposited in the downstream pond.

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

such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below
as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting
remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy
of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement
that no factual or legal issues are in dispute.
Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below.

(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
whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details

Permit No: NCR000734
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Howell:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
January 27, 2010, by Kevin Barnett and myself. The facility was found to be in compliance with
the construction stormwater general permit (NCGO10000—also reference NCR000734).
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection.Report,which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference. Please note the comment in the summary regarding streambank
erosion below the main culvert. Due to the quantity of stormwater directed through the on-site
culvert,the banks of the creek will continue to erode and some sediment will continue to be carried
further downstream. The Airport Authority should consider stabilizing this area (you should
contact the United States Army Corps of Engineers to determine if a modification of your
Individual Permit is necessary for these restoration activities—ref. DWQ#20071841; USACOE ID
No. 2007-03766-311). The concrete pad below the culvert at the end of the property boundary
should be inspected regularly and cleared of sediment to prevent migration downstream.

Inspection Date: 01/27/2010 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Complaint
Inspection Summary:
Asheville Regional Office (ARO) Water Quality Staff(Susan Wilson and Kevin Barnett)were met onsite by Mr Colby Orr
and Mr. Gene Suprenant.
There was some loss of ash into the on-site sediment basin. Personnel on site were already taking actions to remove
sediment from behind fencing (due to the heavy rains-some sediment had been lost from the site and had gathered
behind the fencing). Mr. Suprenant also stated that as soon as was feasible-they planned to get equipment to the
sediment basin to remove the ash/sediment.
Monitoring records have been reviewed and were found to be well kept-with good documentation of events and actions
taken.
Some sediment was noted in the creek on-site (and within the bounds of the property). However, the streambanks are
eroding and sloughing off into the creek-which is causing some of the sediment issues. This is likely due to the
stormwater from the airport funneling to the on-site creek.
Airport personnel should evaluate the volume of water coming from the impervious areas at the airport. The streambanks
will continue to erode unless this overall site stormwater quantity is addressed. Sediment was noted on the pad at the
culvert on the property line. This area should be cleared of sediment if it is noted after inspection to prevent migration
downstream (Mr. Suprenant indicated that this is being done).
The creek downstream of the property was inspected. It was not significantly turbid during the time of inspeciton.
Streambank erosion, likely due to stormwater quantity, was noted downstream of the airport property. No noticeable ash
was present in the creek downstream.

sediment had gathered behind the fencing. The facility had some washout of ash fill
which went into the sediment basin on-site. Due to the extremely wet conditions—site
personnel were unable to get equipment to the area to clean out the sediment basin
(but this was planned as soon as it was deemed feasible).

Comment: The side appeared to be compliant at the time of the inspection. There
was some sediment loss which was noted and personnel were removing with shovels.
Some had reached surface waters- mainly in an area that would not be suitable for
removal.
Some sediment was noted at the property outfall. While this may be due to some
sediment loss from construction activities- it could also be from erosion of the stream
banks from the flushes of stormwater from the airport through the stream on-site.
Erosion along the streambank was noted.

The Bethel Middle School WWTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.015 MGD extended aeration
package plant with: bar screen; aeration basin with blowers providing diffused air; clarifier
with sludge return; (without sludge holding tank); fine solids settling basins; tablet
chlorinator with contact tank; and tablet dechlorinator.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION/ LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
4-28-2009 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 1-31-2011. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
A copy of the permit was on-site.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/ PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature= 9.1 degrees Celsius
pH = 5.9 units--- need to raise pH with the addition of chemicals
Dissolved Oxygen = 10.3 mg/I --- need to lower DO to 1-3 mg/I

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Pilot Travel Center WWTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.025 MGD extended aeration
concrete package plant with: bar screen; 5,000 gallon aerated EQ basin; six 5,000 gallon
aeration basins with blowers providing diffused air; two clarifiers with sludge return; an
aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator with contact tank; tablet dechlorinator; and post aeration.
PERMIT/INSPECTION /LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
4-28-2009 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 1-31-2011. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
A copy of the permit was on-site.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 6.1 degrees Celsius
pH = 7.2units
Dissolved Oxygen = 7.2 mg/1--- need to lower DO to 1-3 mg/I
Settleable Solids = 200 ml/I = 20%
One of the aeration cells had a Fluoroprobe Luminescent Oxygen Analyzer(Model FL-3) installed
to continuously monitor the DO. The DO appeared to be reading low, indicating that the probe
might be fouled with debris, interferring with proper operation.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Temperature = 4.7 degrees Celsius
pH = 7.3 units
Dissolved oxygen = 6.5 mg/I
Chlorine= 22 ug/I

The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is strongly suggested that, at a
minimum, the report contain the following information:
I. General Information
• Name of regulated entity and county
• Responsible entity, person or contact with phone number or address
• Listing of applicable permit(s)— NPDES and Collection System permits, etc.
(Note:water plant wastewater dischargers are exempt)

II. 401 WQC Condition Violations-Approximately 100 feet of streambank on both sides of
the channel have been hardened with riprap and concrete slabs. Also, a small rock dam has
been constructed in the stream. Finally, it appears as though the stream channel may have
been widened. These activities require permitting through the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and must receive the corresponding General Water Quality Certifications from
the DWQ.
REQUIRED RESPONSE
This Office requests that you respond in writing by March 23,2010. Your response should be
sent to both the attention of Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70,

Your response should address the following items:
1. Stream Standard - Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
• Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan to this office for review and approval.
The plan must address removal of the accumulated sediment from the unnamed
tributary to Bates Branch from the rock dam on your property down to the culvert
leading into the pond on the adjoining property(Pitts). The plan must be
submitted to the Division of Water Quality for review and approval prior to
implementation. You are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant
experienced in stream restoration to assist you with development of your plan and
authorization necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your
consultant contact Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional
guidance during plan development. The plan should include the following:
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed and how impacted
jurisdictional waters will be restored.
• A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.
• A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts.
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be retained on the site and kept out
of waterways, and how restoration activities will be conducted such that
turbidity standards are not exceeded.
• Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.
Note: Other sediment removal work will be occurring in the unnamed tributary to Bates Branch
upstream of your property. A combined effort may benefit all parties. It is suggested you contact
your neighbors to coordinate restoration activities,particularly if employing the same consultant.

II. 401 WQC
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit
pertaining to the streambank hardening that has occurred and the rock dam that
has been constructed. 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.
2. Restoration of the streambank and channel.
a. Provide a streambank restoration plan that includes the removal of the
riprap and concrete as well as the restoration of the buffer along the
stream that has been hardened. Satisfactory streambank restoration
requires planting in accordance:with the EEP Publication"Guidelines
for Riparian Buffer Restoration". This document is available
electronically at litlp•//w,,vw.neeep.net/news/reports/bLiffers.pdf.
b. The rock dam within the channel must be removed.
If pursuing Option 1:
a. Contact the United States Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting
needs of the activities you have undertaken'. The Asheville office phone number is
[phone].
b. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required 401 WQC
submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2:
a. Please submit a Streambank Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval.
The plan must address removal of the riprap and concrete slabs and rock dam from
the unnamed tributary to Bates Branch as described above in Option 2. The plan
must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality for review and approval. You
are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream
restoration to assist you with development of your plan and authorization necessary
to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your consultant contact Chuck

Your response should address the following items:
1. Stream Standard - Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
• Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan to this office for review and approval.
The plan must address removal of the accumulated sediment from Island Creek
from the upstream end of an existing culvert located in the southern portion of
your property throughout the stream reach beyond the newly installed culvert
(approximately 900 feet total). The plan must be submitted to the Division of
Water Quality for review and approval prior to implementation. You are
encouraged to secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream
restoration to assist you with development of your plan and authorization
necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your consultant contact
Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional guidance during
plan development. The plan should include the following: %-
■ A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed and how impacted
jurisdictional waters will be restored.
■ A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.
■ A diagram of the stream channel,referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts.
■ A narrative explaining how sediment will be retained on the site and kept out
of waterways, and how restoration activities will be conducted such that
turbidity standards are not exceeded.
Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.
II. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:

1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit
pertaining to the culvert installation that has occurred. 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. It appears the
culvert is not properly installed and if permitted will likely require re-
installation.
2. Restoration of the streambank and channel.
a. Provide a stream restoration plan that includes the removal of the
culvert,restoration of the stream channel as well as the restoration of the
streambank and buffer along the stream that has been graded.
Satisfactory streambank restoration requires planting in accordance with
the EEP Publication"Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration". This
document is available electronically at
http://Nvww.nceep.net/news/repoits/buffers.pdf.
If pursuing Option 1:
a. Contact the United States Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting
needs of the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is
[phone].
b. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification(401 WQC application) submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2:
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. The
plan must address removal of the culvert,restoration of the stream channel as well
as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream as described above
in Option 2. The plan must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality for
review and approval. You are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant
experienced in stream restoration to assist you with development of your plan and
authorization necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your
consultant contact Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional

Permit No: NCG170068
Polk County
Dear Mr. Slusher:
A NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection was conducted on February 11, 2010 at the
Milliken and Company-Hatch Plant in Polk County NC. Present during the inspection was Adam
Davis. A Division of Water Quality (DWQ) file review indicates this to be the first inspection of
% the Milliken facility in Polk County. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit
NCG170068, however, the following observations and recommendations need to be addressed by
the facility.
Stormwater DischarVe Outfalls
Qualitative Monitoring at Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO) is a permit requirement that is a
useful tool for industries to visually evaluate if impacts to the environment are occurring from their
facility. Two discharge characteristics: oil sheen and erosion at outfall, should have been noted at
the Milliken facility SDOs. Four SDOs were observed during the inspection. SDO 41 and#2 have
minor erosion occurring at their outfalls. The placement of some filter cloth and riprap should help
to avoid further erosion by dissipating the energy from the stormwater flows. SDO #3 has
significant erosion at the outfall. The prolonged erosion has created a deep gully in the ephemeral
channel (ditch) to the receiving stream. This eroded channel needs to be repaired to a stable
channel. SDO#4 had petroleum product solidified in a bermed basin area as well as product
evident on standing water. This contaminated bermed area needs to be remediated. The source of
this product also needs to be identified and ceased.
Stream Impacts
In the west stream adjacent to the Milliken facility an old dam has breached causing streambank
erosion. The remnants of the dam need to be removed from the channel and the streambanks need
restoration and stabilization.

Inspection Summary:
No other inspections were found in database or files,this appears to be the first inspection of facility.
Met with Adam Davis to conduct inspection. No vehicle maintenance is performed at facility, no analytical monitoring is
required. Documents are in good order, currently Mr. Davis is updating documents.
Qualitative monitoring is performed, however needs improvement. Qualitative monitoring is a useful tool to indicate
problems occurring onsite; at the facility, at the outfall, and/or at the transitional area of land between outfall and
waterbody(ie.usually a ditchline/ephemeral channel). This facility's qualitative monitoring should have indicated"oil
sheen"at outfall#4 and"erosion at outfall"for outfalls#1,#2,#3.
Outfall#1 &#2 does have minor erosion at outfall and needs rocks placed at outfall to disperse energy and avoid further
erosion.
Outfall#3 releases to a significant erosion gully. This outfall's ditchline needs to be fixed. The ditchline between the
outfall and creek has become a deep gully that will continue to get worse and is likely sending a sediment load to
receiving stream. The gully needs to be repaired, properly armored and repaired with clean fill, to create a suitable/stable
ditchline.
Outfall#4 appears to be the outfall location of some piping from the above ground storage tanks containment area,
qualitative monitoring should have noted oil sheen here. The above ground storage tanks are no longer in use, but
stored#6 fuel. There is still minimal amounts of#6 remaining in tanks. The tanks are housed in a secondary
containment area that has a gravel bottom which could be a concern if there is a discrete under drain system.
To the S/SW of the#6 fuel tank storage area (outfall#4) is a bermed/basin area that had solidified#6 fuel in it and
petroleum residue evident on standing water.The berm/basin has what appeared to be an outlet pipe that could release
the product to the wooded area and flow to the nearby creek. Fortunately, there was no recent evidence of any fuel
beyond the berm/basin by overland flows to the creek. The source of the solidified and residual petroleum product in the
berm/basin area needs to be identified and remediated. A feasibility study (remediation plan)needs to be evaluated at
the facility to remediate the petroleum product currently in the berm/basin and to avoid future releases. Milliken shall
report to DWQ their plans to remediate this situation.
The Milliken facility use to pipe water from the nearby creek(west of building)to their reservoir.A dam was associated
with this piping system.The dam has breached and facility is no longer piping water to reservoir. The dam failure location
is causing instream impacts, primarily to the streambanks. The remnants of the dam that remain in the stream channel
need to be removed. This area of the stream needs to be restored; the facilities old dam has caused sediment loads to
the stream as well as damage to the channel and streambanks. Since Milliken/(Pacolet Land Co) owns most of this
watershed and other adjacent watersheds, this site lends itself as being a potentially good site for EEP mitigation funds if
any become available.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat, millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control. Coir fiber matting should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed
soils in steep slope and riparian areas, and should be secured in place with staples and wherever possible, include live
stakes of native trees.
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or Straw
mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian
zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of permanent _-

herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro
mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the establishment of
temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into
surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
5. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water moratoria prescribed by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or I1(WS-I or WS-II)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating stormwater runoff prior
to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures, shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
9. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
10. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated and disposed of properly.
11. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles (hammer or vibratory) or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.
-12. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
this certification.
13. All bridge construction shall be performed form the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary causeways or
floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges, they shall be floated into position and then sunk. The
barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along the
bottom of the surface water.
14. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
15. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
16. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
17. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
18. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
19. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
20. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted

401 Water Quality Certification
Elk Branch Stream Restoration Project
DWQ Project#2010-0078
Mitchell County
Response deadline: April 5,2010
Dear Mr. Pearce:
ne Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Application Item C. 3a provides that you intend to perform Priority 1 Restoration on 2,890
linear feet of stream channel. The enclosed Ecosystem Enhancement Program Restoration
Plan Review for the Elk Branch Stream Restoration Plan letter which provides a review of a
"Restoration plan for the Logan Creek Stream Restoration Site." Additionally,this letter
concurs with 2,811 linear feet of restoration. You must clarify in the application the amount of
stream restoration that will be performed,how much mitigation credit is being sought, and on
what stream mitigation credit will be awarded.
2. Application Item C. 3a provides that you intend to perform Priority 1 Restoration on 2,890
linear feet of stream channel. Priority 1 restoration is defined as providing a new pattern,
dimension, and profile by the Stream Mitigation Guidelines. Your submitted plans show that
profile will be altered via the installation of step pools. You have not provided for pattern nor
dimensional channel changes. Please modify your request in accordance with the Stream
Mitigation Guidelines to reflect the type of work proposed.

3. The submitted plan provides for a series of wooden step pools throughout the valley. As particle
size is relatively small, and discharge velocity would not move large particles, when the log
structures degrade and collapse, there will not be significant particles in the system to hold the
step pools together. Without further information, assumptions of long term stability from the
plan review cannot be made. You must submit reasoning/plans for this eventuality as part of
your narrative.
4. The receiving streams are classified as C, Trout. Your plan does not discuss working outside the
trout moratorium. You must submit how the trout moratorium will be complied with as part of
your narrative.
5. The submitted plans do not meet the PCN instructions required 1:50 scale, full sized plan sheet,
requirement. Additionally, details regarding stream location (both current and proposed) are not
clear. Plans meeting the requirements of the PCN application instructions must be submitted as
part of this request.
On February 23, 2010, Mr. David Baker, along with Kevin Barnett of this office, performed a site visit. The
following is a summation of the observations of that visit:
• The lower section of Elk Branch is within 30 feet to the paved road surface. Full buffer credit cannot be
awarded for any buffers which do not meet the Stream Mitigation Guielines.
• The upper reach of Elk Branch (along pasture containing blue house) appears to have been historically
rerouted against the valley wall, has a dense woody buffer on the uphill side, lacks buffer on the pasture
side, and has defined cobble/gravel riffles. Abundant stone and may flies along with prolific aquatic
snails were also documented within this area.
• The main channel of Elk Branch appears stable in profile above and below Annie's Cove. No headcuts
nor down cutting (degradation) were observed.
• The only significant channel instability was at the Annie's Cove/wetland area.
This office suggests that prior to committing a significant amount of time developing a response to the
information request above, that consideration to a lesser impact, bank and buffer enhancement for the majority
of this project be given. Additionally, based upon the number of comments and additional information
requested,a pre-application meeting with all agencies involved, may be appropriate for future projects.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to close of business on April 5, 2010. Four
copies of the required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:
Ian McMillan
401 Permitting Unit
1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 27699-1650
and a single copy to the Asheville Regional Office at:
Kevin Barnett
Surface Water Protection Section
2090 US HWY 70
Swannanoa,NC 28778
If we do not hear from you by the deadline, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and
we will consider the project withdrawn.

flis letter only addresses the preliminary application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Kevin Barnett 828-296-4657, if you have any questions.

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

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account
the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 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;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). 'Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of:
Pretreatment Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission 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 civilpenalty assessment document. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement
that no factual or legal issues are in dispute.
Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below.

Tryon Collection System WQC'SO01 I I
Case No.DV-2010-0023
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. %-
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of
Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within

Technical Assistance Inspection,
Town of Old Fort, Old Fort WWTP
Permit No: NCO021229
McDowell County
Dear Mayor Norton:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance Inspection report from the Technical Assistance
conducted on January 27, 2010. The Technical Assistance Inspection was conducted by Don Price and Kathy Jimison of
the Asheville Regional Office. The time and assistance of Tony West, WWTP ORC is greatly appreciated. At the time of
the inspection the discharge from the facility appeared to be in Compliance with permit NC0021229.
The purpose of this TA was to investigate the effluent TSS violations noted in February 2007, December 2008, and
January 2009, and determine Why these violations occur during the 1st and last part of the year. In reviewing process
'-ontrol data collected by facility staff several areas were noted that are in need of attention by the Town, they are as
`< ,ollows: 1 -current Aeration Basin effluent distribution to the secondary clarifier(s) is not equal, and may be contributing to
the effluent TSS violations noted above; 2 - the current solids management and sludge wasting program at the facility
should be reviewed to allow for increased/improved operational flexibility needed to address operational issues due to the
solids accumulation; 3— System Staffing currently consist of only the ORC Tony West and a "part-time" back-up ORC on
a contract basis. This does meet the minimum requirements of the Operator rules, but is not conducive to efficient and
effective WWTP operation. I am enclosing the section of EPA/430/9-79-013 document "Management of Small-to-Medium
Sized Municipal WWTP's" regarding staffing along with the budgeting section for your review. I feel this information will
assist and help guide the Town in determining the appropriate staff level needed for effective and efficient operation of the
system.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff have
any questions, or wish to discuss in more detail, please call me at(828)296-4500.
Sincerely,

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheetsof narrative and checklists as necessary)
The time and assistance of Tony West in conducting the Technical Assistance is appreciated. The reason
for this Technical Assistance visit was to review past DMR data reported by the facility regarding Total
Suspended Solids (TSS)violations that had occurred in February 2007, December 2008, and January 2009.
It appears solids violations are occurring at the WWTP during periods of SIU (significant industrial user) shut
down. The industry shut down coincides with the same time period of TSS violations.During the Technical
Assistance Solids measurements were taken in the EQ basin, the Aeration Basin, and the Return Sludge.
Results are as follows: EQ basin =71 mg/L; Aeration Basin =4880 mg/L; & Return Sludge = 5170 mg/L.
The concentration of solids maintained in the system is a little high for the time of year( most Extended
Aeration Activated Sludge) systems maintain 2500 - 3000 mg/L solids in an Aeration Basin during cooler
winter months and lower the level down by 500-750 mg/L during warmer summer months. On site
discussions with ORC Tony West indicated system had maintained the high level due to aeration basin
foaming problems and loss of pin floc through the secondary clarifiers. At the current time ORC only does
weekly Process Control due to lack of needed staff. It is suggested system increase staff level at WWTP
and increase Process Control measurements to improve solids wasting, and control solids inventory and
maintain compliance. Other parts of the system are not used due to lack of flow to WWTP. These areas are
still in need of 0 & M and require maintenance. The secondary clarifier flow distribution system should be
reviewed by a Professional Engineer and determine if"short circuiting" is occurring. By maintaining a
high(er) solids inventory in the secondary system, short circuiting can be a contributing factor to TSS
violations in the effluent.Review of staffing information from EPA document 430/9-79-013 indicates that a
WWTP the size and complexity of Old Fort's should have at least 5 personnel. Sections of the above
mentioned document are attached for review. Should additional questions arise or you need more
information, please contact me at [phone].

Comment: The existing Oxidation Ditch is currently being used for Flow Equalization. I
would suggest this basin be utilized for"increased"flow EQ to allow basin and tankage
isolation and inspection. Each tank and basin at Old Fort's WWTP should be taken
down, inspected, and any needed maintenance performed at least once per year. The
current staffing level at the WWTP does not allow for this. EQ basin TSS measured
on-site = 1500 mg/L, sample taken for analysis in DWQ lab = 71 mg/L.

Comment: Only one of the two existing aeration basins was in service at the time of
the Technical Assistance. Aeration currently in place at the Old Fort VWVTP consists of
"floating" aerators positioned in place with stainless steel "mooring" cables. It is
suggested these steel cables be"REPLACED"with polypropolene ski rope with 2
connections per aerator side. This would allow for easier access and maintenance to
the aerators, and also allow for improved positioning of the aerators to allow for
optimum aeration and mixing hopefully allowing for reduced power consumption. MLSS
measurements taken on-site = 5900 mg/L, samples taken and measured in ARO lab =
5170 mg/L.

secondary Clarifier Yes No NA NE
Comment: Old Fort's WWTP currently uses 3 out of four existing secondary clarifiers.
The 4th secondary clarifier is not in service due to degradation of system components.
Flow distribution to the secondary clarifiers is controlled by "adjusting"a weir on the
effluent leaving the aeration basin.The current method does not allow for"equalized"
flow distribution to the clarifiers. It is suggested that Old Fort discuss this deficiency with
a Consulting Engineer to determine the most cost and operationally effective manner to
address this situation. This may include using a "telescopic and/or modulating valve"to
distribute the flow to the secondary clarifiers equally.

$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$1,317.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty

assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment,and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore,it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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

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

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

SUBJECT: Technical Assistance Inspection
Status: In Compliance

NPDES Permit Number NCO032174
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Raisch:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance Inspection form from the inspection conducted
on March 5, 2010. Don Price of the Asheville Regional Office conducted the Technical Assistance Inspection.
The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0032174.
Your time and assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance inspection is appreciated. The
purpose of this Technical Assistance was to determine the cause for elevated Ammonia results that appear to
occur during the Nov-Jan. and June—Aug. time periods. Facility data was analyzed and a "Trend" chart
developed (copy of same enclosed). Results indicate Ammonia exceedances are occurring around the same
time as the semi-annual Septic Tank pumping events. On site samples of sand filter effluent prior to UV
disinfection were indicating a downward trend of the Ammonia concentration based upon alkalinity supplement
with lime. Also, the septic tank and pump tank contents were measured with a "sludge judge" at the time of the
Technical Assistance indicating the tank should not be pumped. A good rule of thumb is to'pump tanks when
the sludge accumulation equals about a third (1/3) of the tank's depth. For example, a 5 foot deep tank should
be pumped when sludge accumulation equals 18 inches to 2 feet.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your
staff have any questions, please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Don Price, CET

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This Technical Assistance was conducted at the request of Facility Manager, Mr. Don Raisch to determine
the possible cause and corrective action to take for high Ammonia readings on effluent samples taken the
previous month (February 2010). A review of facility data submitted on monthly DMR's was analyzed and a
Trend chart developed. The Trend indicated the Ammonia exceedances occur during the Nov.-Jan. and
June-Aug. time periods. Discussions with facility staff indicate this is the same period of Septic Tank
pumping. It is suggested facility staff continue alkalinity supplement with lime be continued at location and
dosage recommended verbally, in addition to the sodium bi-carbonate.Also, it is suggested that Septic
Tank pumping be based upon sludge accumulation in the tanks rather than on a "semi-annual" basis.
Sand Filter discharge prior to UV disinfection was tested on site with "check"strips for Ammonia. Results of
that analysis indicated a downward trend to Ammonia levels. Tanks should not be pumped until sludge
accumulation is equal to 1/3 of the tanks depth. For example, a 5 foot deep tank should be pumped when
sludge accumulation is equal to or between 18 inches and 2 feet. Also, alkalinity supplement should be
conducted on a "continuous" basis, even when there is no student attendance at the school. Don's time and
assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance is appreciated. Should there be questions or you need
additional assistance, please contact me at [phone].

This plant was built to treat a high volume of industrial waste, but now the only flow is domestic from the
office and warehouse space. Discharges only occur during rain events. It is still highly recommended that
the facility connect to local sewer or install an on-site treatment system for handling the small volume of
wastewater generated. It is also imperative that the flow meter be properly maintained and operated.

Dear Mayor Harrison:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$4,067.00 ($4,000.00 civil penalty+ $67.00 enforcement costs) against Town of Hot Springs.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Sanitary
Sewer Overflow(SSO) 5-Day Report submitted by Town of Hot: Springs. This review has shown
the subject facility to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit
WQCSI)0086 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The violation/s that occurred are summarized in

Forn-i CS-SSO Collection System Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting Norm states that the form
shall be submitted to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office within five (5) days of th.e first
knowledge of the sanitary sewer overflow (SSO). The form also states if all. SSO is ongoing. the
Regional Office must be notified on a daily basis until the SSO can be stopped.
No complete written report has been received by the Regional Office docurrienthig that the SSO
was stopped and that repairs have been made. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 provides
for civil penalties of up to $ 25,000 for discharging sewage without a permit. The same statute
empowers a State agency to go into Superior court seeking a court order prohibiting an activity
which is in violation of the Statutes.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Town of Hot Springs violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of Collection System Permit WQCSDO086 and G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(1) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums
established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who
violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, 1, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Town of I-lot Springs.
Within 5 days of the occurrence, provide a written report describing
$4,000.00 the overflow or bypass, including all information reque.sted on form
CS-SSO under 15A NCAC 213.0506 (a).
$ 67.00 ENFORCEMENT COST
$4,067.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further

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

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative
Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative

$2,500.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 67.00 ENFORCEMENT COST
$2,567.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health,or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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

pulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the
Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request
will be approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

The 15,000 gpd plant(plant#2)was installed parallel to# plant 1, in 2001. The treatment
units consist of: an influent bar screen; flow equalization basins; splitter box with slide
gate; aeration basins; clarifiers with sludge returns; anthracite and sand tertiary filter cells
with alarms; aerobic digestors; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chambers; tablet
de-chlorination unit; Sigma 900 refrigerated composite sampler; and emergency standby generator.
PERMIT/INSPECTION/LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
6-30-09 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 11-30-2012. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature= 6.4 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.8 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 8.7 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 300 ml/I = 30%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30%would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the
sludge is too young.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Buncombe County Board of Education - North Buncombe High School WWTP is a Class II facility
rated as a 0.025 MGD extended aeration WWTP with: a grease trap; manual bar screen; 20,000
gallon flow equalization basin with duplex grinder pumps & air diffusers &simplex 80 scfm
blower; aeration basin; clarifier with sludge return; aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator;
chlorine contact chamber; dechlorinator; post aeration; an effluent Isco bubbler flow meter
(model 4230)with battery back-up; and a standby emergency generator.
PERMIT/INSPECTION/LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last Bioassay compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 1-26-2010 by Jeff Menzel.
The permit expires on 12-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/PROCESS CONTROL/O & M:
The treatment plant had recently been pumped.
Settleable Solids = 500 ml/I = 50%
EFFLUENT:
Effluent sample results were as follows:
BOD = (no data available; lab incubator temporarily out of service)
TSS = 20 mg/I*
*The chlorinator to dechlorinator feed ratio was 1 to 3. There were visible
solids from the deterioration of dechlorination tablets in the effluent.
It is recommended that the feed ratio be approximately 1 to 1. This
should decrease bioassay toxicity, as well.
Fecal coliform = 1 (none detected)
These samples indicate compliance with permit limits.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Ken Henson, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining the
facility very well.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Cullasaja Home Owners' Association Inc. WWTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.150 MGD
dual-train, activated sludge WWTP with: dual aeration basins; dual clarifiers with sludge
return; aerobic digestors; multi-media (sand & anthracite) tertiary filters; five-day effluent
holding pond; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; tablet dechlorinator; and emergency
standby generator. This development consists of—285 homes, golf course, community clubhouse
and restaurant.
The collection system consists of 5 lift stations and 3 influent Dakota pumps. There are no
gravity lines, all are force mains. Individual homes have grinder pumps.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION/LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
6-30-2009 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 8-31-2012. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/ PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature=4.3 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.2 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 9.3 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3
mg/I. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to
achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Recommendations for installing a DO monitor to control DO and aeration levels, as an
energy cost saving measure were discussed, since there are currently only 20-40 seasonal
residents.
Settleable Solids = 260 ml/I = 26%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so
that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the
settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a
settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30%would generally indicate a
Page# 2

Permit: NCO064416 Owner-Facility: Cullasaja WWrP
Inspection Date: 03/05/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge
pumping rate (i.e. 30%, allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained.
If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably
recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
TERTIARY FILTERS:
The multi-media (sand & anthracite) tertiary filters were in operation and covered for the
winter to prevent freezing.
LAGOON:
The five-day effluent holding pond appeared to be operating and properly maintained. Tree limbs
and debris from recent snow storm damage has been cleaned up.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
pH = 6.56 units
Temperature = 2.4 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = 22 ug/I
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The flow meter was calibrated on 8-13-2009.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Lynn Long, HOA Manager, assisted with the inspection and was present during the deemed
permitted collection system requirements meeting.
Mr. Mark Teague, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining the
facility very well.
The effluent appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
The System Performance Annual Performance Report had been filed for the 2008-2009 fiscal year by
Env. Inc.
The System Performance Annual Report, for 2009-2010, is due no later than 60 days of the end of

requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is strongly suggested that, at
a minimum, the reports contain the following information:
I. General Information
• Name of regulated entity and county
• Responsible entity, person or contact with phone number or address
• Listing of applicable permit(s)—NPDES and Collection System permits, etc.
(Note: water plant wastewater dischargers are exempt)
• Description of collection or treatment system or process
II. Performance
• Description of overall 12-month performance, noting highlights and deficiencies.
• By month, list of the number and type of any violations of permit conditions,
environmental regulations or environmental laws, including (but not limited to):

to provide in the report and how they will provide the report to their users or customers. This law was
established to provide a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to instill public confidence). Those
entities that fall under the scope of this part of the law are encouraged to be forthcoming in their report and
they should provide its readers a contact where they may view more detailed information.
To satisfy the Departmental reporting requirement, three copies of the report should be submitted to the

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Mark Laurel Homeowners'Association WW"P is a Class II facility rated as a 0.042 MGD
extended aeration package WNTP consisting of: two aeration basins with blowers providing
diffused air; clarifier with return sludge; aerobic digestor; UV disinfection; and flow meter.
There are two developments that share the cost of operating and maintaining the WWTP.
Each development operates and maintains their own collection system. The ORC operates and
maintains the main influent lift station.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION /LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
6-30-2009 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 8-31-2012. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 2.4 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.9 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 8.1 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 200 ml/I = 20%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the
sludge is too young.

ULTRA-VIOLET DISINFECTION:
The UV disinfection control panel is in need of servicing and/or replacement. The dial that
indicates transmittance/absorbance is not working properly.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The flow meter was last calibrated on 9-3-2009.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/ EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Mark Teague, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining the
facility very well.
The effluent appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
The System Performance Annual Performance Report had been filed for the 2008-2009 fiscal year by
Env. Inc.
The System Performance Annual Report, for 2009-2010, is due no later than 60 days of the end of
the reporting period.
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for submittal
of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:
The owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or wastewater collection systems that
treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste, must provide an Annual Report to its
users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that summarizes
the treatment works' and collection system's performance over a 12 month period.)
Report Format:
The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is strongly suggested that, at
a minimum, the reports contain the following information:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The facility appeared to be producing a clear effluent at the time of the inspection and operating as well as it
could, considering the condition of the pump station, diffused aeration syatem, and secondary clarifiers. It
was evident that the collection system is still experiencing a large amount of I&I as the mixed liquor in the
aeration was very low in solids content. Another area of concern is the lack of standby power for the site,
particularly for the influent pump station.The current WWTP does not allow for"sludge"wasting and solids
management. It appears that the system periodically experiences "flow surges"and spills solids into the

401 Water Quality Certification
Chinquapin Irrigation Supply Project
DWQ Project# 09-0569 v2
Jackson County
Response deadline: April 26, 2010
Dear Mr. Carlton:
"he Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
'--application submitted for the above referenced property (the first submittal was returned July 14, 2009).
Additional information will be required in order to complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The proposed pump system will be placed in Robinson Creek, a Class WS-III, Tr waterbody in
the Little Tennessee River Basin, Per 15A NCAC 2B .0215(3)(b)(i)(H) for WS (water supply)
water bodies, water dependent structures "may be allowed where no practicable alternative
exists."
With the resubmittal of the application, many alternatives were reviewed and determined to be
unfeasible. After the meeting conducted at the Chinquapin site on September 1, 2009, the DWQ
was-hopeful that an off-line pond would be a feasible alternative. Because it appears that this
may not be the case due to the limited available land areas and the existing conservation
easement, the DWQ would like further explanation on the feasibility of a pump house
configuration (instead of the submersible pump system placed directly in the stream). Installing
a permanent instream structure to be used mainly for emergency "severe drought condition"
purposes still does not seem to be the best solution. Please evaluate in more detail and
compare/contrast a floating pump system (this may be a new option) vs. a pump house system
vs. the submersible pump system. In this comparison, costs, energy consumption, maintenance,

etc. should be evaluated. Although noise is stated as one factor in the elimination of the
centrifugal pump system, this factor could be remedied through use of an insulated pump house.
Additionally, the submerged pump system is also likely to be noisy. As part of the evaluation,
provide details of the total pumping distance and elevation change, etc. that was used to
determine head and pump size.
2. To ensure that 7Q10s is maintained, please state how, practically, this is going to be met(if this
were a condition of the 401 approval). Since the DWQ did not receive a copy of the Operation
and Maintenance manual that was submitted to Chinquapin, we do not know specifically how
this would be met during operation.
3. DWQ needs confirmation of the 7Q l Os value provided by Mr. Tarver. Traditionally, this value
is provided by USGS. Did Mr. Tarver obtain this value from USGS? Did he estimate the 7Q10s
himself based on drainage area and nearby gauge stations? Please provide correspondence from
Mr. Tarver or USGS confirming the 7QlOs value.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior by April 26, 2010. Four copies of the
required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Facility name: North Fork Water Treatment Plant City of Asheville
The North Fork Reservoir is-355 acres and - 120 feet deep. It has one intake with 4 withdrawal
levels. The WTP has 6 filters.
WWTP class: I Physical Chemical (classified: 8-17-2001)
WWTP type:
The filter backwash from the Water Plant is dechlorinated with sodium thiosulfate before being
discharged to the 200,000 gallon backwash holding tank.
The wastewater is then released to three lagoons, which are operated in series. Lagoon#1
(located closest to the WTP) is 182,000 gallons; lagoon #2 is 978,000 gallons; and lagoon#3 is
3,000,000 gallons. The total storage capacity is 4.76 million gallons.
As a result of the recent addition of alum to treat the drinking water, 384,000 gallons of
sludge were pumped from lagoon#3 and hauled to one of MSDs' manhole for treatment and disposal
at the WWTP in February 2010. This was the first time that sludge was removed from any of the
lagoons.
Permit/File review:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
9-27-2007 by Janet Cantwell.
The permit expires on 10-31-2010. The permit renewal application was received by DWQ on March
10, 2010.
Inspection summary:
Mr. Charles Ledford, ORC, assisted in the inspection.

b. Stabilize impacted streambanks
c. Establish suitable, vegetated buffers along all streams
d. Provide a description of how you intend to comply with the above steps; including,
a timeline when you anticipate the required items to be complete
e. When completed,provide pictures illustrating the work completed.
The following was considered when devising the required response,which the Division believes is
reasonable and a compromise of standard violation remedies due to the nature of the situation:
• A lack of a complete understanding of the water features on the site (i.e., 3 of the 4 ditched
segments are considered streams [Waters of the State])was likely.
• According to historical information,the dredging activities have been undertaken in the
past and were perhaps considered acceptable, agricultural practices for the location.
Ultimately, full restoration would greatly increase the health of the stream system,including the
quality of the water. According to information gathered during the investigation, a stream
restoration project being undertaken by the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program is occurring on
the adjoining property downstream of your site. The Division would highly recommend
participation with the EEP (Deborah Daniel: 828-337-4528), which can provide your property with
stable streams and a greenspace amenity,protected by a conservation easement. Certain monetary
benefits associated with the easement could be possible. In addition,the Henderson County Soil
and Water Conservation District(828-697-4949)may be able to provide assistance with long-term
management of your land.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns,please
contact Chuck Cranford at(828) 296-4664.

Dear Mr. Banks:
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ) conducted a site visit to your property(PIN No.
9617928150) on March 16, 2010. It was noted that stream restoration work was being conducted.
You are reminded that all stream restoration work and sediment removal must be performed in
accordance with the plan submitted by C1earWater Environmental Consultants, Inc. and as
approved by DWQ in the letter dated August 18, 2009.
Please be aware that the approval stated"stream restoration must include the entire length of
stream." During the site visit it was noted that the upper portion of the stream to be restored did
not have approved sloped banks of 2 to 1, likely with anticipation of future culvert placement.
DWQ reminds you that due to the outstanding Notices of Violation,written approval for the
culvert placement is required [ref. Water Quality Certification No. 3705 Part IV]. If you seek 401
approval for placement of the culvert for your commercial development, DWQ will require
documentation that you have attempted to avoid/minimize impacts to surface waters as outlined in
DWQ correspondence to you dated August 19,2009 (Return of Application). You and your
design consultant were to have reviewed the possibility of reconfiguring the parking lot and/or to
have met with the City of Asheville to pursue reduction in the required number of parking spaces.
Any placement of a culvert on the property without written approval by the DWQ will be deemed
a"willful"violation and subject to enforcement.
As specified in the approved Stream Enhancement and Sediment Removal Plan, a 30-foot
vegetated buffer (measured from top-of-bank)that meets the planting specifications in the
Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration is required. The DWQ highly recommends that you
speak with C1earWater Environmental Consultants, Inc. regarding the specifics of the approved
plan and what is required as the work is being performed and after the project is completed.

Dear Ms. Cubeta:
The Town of Tryon's aging collection system has been experiencing frequent sanitary sewer
overflows in the last year. Investigation into the integrity of the collection system has exposed problems
with inflow and infiltration,however, at this time the system is not a candidate for a Special Order by
Consent. Civil penalties for these SSOs have been assessed by the Asheville Regional office and more are
anticipated.
A collection system assessment needs to be conducted and the Town is seeking assistance in
funding a study at this time. If an SOC is anticipated based on the collection system assessment,the Town
will also need to explore any and all funding sources so that they may be able to meet the requirements in
the Special Order by Consent.
A collection system analysis is the first logical step in removing extraneous flow from the Town's
collection system and will be the basis for determining if the Town should enter into an SOC. The
Asheville Regional Office strongly supports the Town of Tryon's endeavors to secure funding for this
project.

establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of
Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be
approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;.or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the

DWQ staff was met on site by Jeff Lamm and two other staff members. A tour was conducted of the facility, observing the
stormwater conveyances and outfalls and site conditions. During the visit, the SPPP manual was reviewed, operational
activities and existing stormwater exposures were discussed. Permit requirements were also reviewed as pertaining to
the most recent permit version, dated August 1, 2009. At the time of the inspection the site was found to be in compliance
with the permit. The inspector noted that the facility appeared to maintain good housekeeping practices and records were
found to be in good order.
Two noteworthy items were indicated during the visit:
1. Retail chemical products in metal buckets were being stored outside without protection from weather. These items
should be stored under roof or otherwise protected.
2.A stormwater ditch along the eastern boundary of the property required some cleanout and maintenance to prevent
erosion.

Permit:NCG070156 Owner-Facility: Selee Corporation
Inspection Date: 03/09/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by Gerald Rice along with several other staff members. A tour was conducted of the exterior
of the facility and a portion of the interior, observing the stormwater conveyances and outfalls and site conditions. During
the visit, the SPPP manual was reviewed, operational activities and existing stormwater exposures were discussed.
Permit requirements were also reviewed as pertaining to the most recent permit version, dated June 1, 2008. At the time
of the inspection the site was found to be in compliance with the permit. The inspector noted that the facility appeared to
maintain good housekeeping practices and records were found to be in good order.
Two noteworthy items were indicated during the visit:
1.The "ditch"along Sheperd Street would likely be identified as a stream by DWQ. Any work or impacts in that body of
water would need to be permitted. Improvements (e.g., vegetative planting, reduced mowing) along the buffer of the
channel would benefit the stream. An official stream identification to properly determine whether that is a stream could be
completed by DWQ, if desired, and may be initiated by DWQ when in the vicinity.
2. Eroded materials are entering the storm drain adjacent to the dumpsters at the southwest corner of the building. This
sediment appears to be discharging to the stream along Shepherd Street. Erosion protection and/or stormdrain protection
should take place to eliminate this issue.

NPDES Permit NCO026697
Clay County,NC
Dear Mr. Schuh:
Staff of the Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the information, which you provided
to us, regarding the Clay County Water and Sewer District waste water flow allocations. While
we have no objections to reallocating flow from some of the un-built projects so you can
accommodate the proposed connection of the Jackrabbit Campground and Truitt Baptist Camp, it
is a concern that the WWTP over allocated on paper. As a means to prevent further over
allocation, it is the intent of this Office to not issue any additional collection system permits until
the time that Clay County Water& Sewer convinces DWQ that the problem has been adequately
addressed.
Possible ways to alleviate this issue would be to expedite the planned expansion of the
WWTP, or to further reallocate all currently permitted gravity sewer systems which have not
been completed, or those which have no plans for further development in the near future.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Keith
Haynes or me at 828-296-4500.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Contro'_ `
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria prescribed by the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters, streams and
wetlands shall be placed 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 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases wate' "`
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.

J. B. Setzer, P.E.
March 26, 2010

7. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
8. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
9. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
10. For the 125 linear feet of streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities, the site shall be graded to its
preconstruction contours and revegetated with appropriate native species.
11. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
12 The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
13. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
14. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
15. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
`6. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
17. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
18. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
19. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
20. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
22. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
23. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
24. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
25. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
26. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary toeassure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.

Reviewed project with DOT staff. Grading is continuing with new areas under construction. Sediment and
erosion control structures appear to be working properly. Seeding and/or matting should be performed as new
areas are graded.
Some slope and bare areas need to be seeded. Ensure that all sediment and erosion control devices are working
properly. Check silt fence for proper installation and operation and make sure that the highly visible fencing is
properly installed.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State
surface waters.

Dear Mr. Setzer:
On March 10,2009, I inspected the construction work at Bridge 15 on NCSR 1331 (Hanging Dog Road) in
Cherokee County. The project appears to be in relatively good shape but sediment should be removed from
behind the sediment fence on the southwest side of the project and the area seeded. The erosion and
sedimentation control structures,vegetative covering, and matting appear to be working properly.
\ Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed to protect downstream waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached
to this letter.

Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification(WQC)
Rutherford County
Response deadline: April 15, 2010
Dear Mr. Repasky:
Thank you for discussing the situation on the telephone with Mr. Cranford. As he indicated,this
letter was originally mailed via certified delivery on March 4, 2010,but was not accepted.
On February 9, 2010, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality(DWQ) conducted a site inspection along Island Creek Road in Rutherford County.
Stream standard and 401 certification violations were noted during the inspection and file review.
Sediment and unpermitted fill (culvert) impacts to Island Creek(Class C waters)were
documented. Approximately 900 feet of stream has been impacted by sediment and an
approximate 20-foot culvert has been installed in the stream. Land disturbance along the stream,
installation of the culvert and eroding roads have contributed sediment.
VIOLATIONS
I. Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste(In-stream sediment) 15ANCAC 02B .0211

permitting through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and must receive the corresponding
Water Quality Certification from the DWQ.
This Office requests that you respond in writing by April 15,2010. Your response should be sent
to both the attention of Mr. Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70,
Swannanoa,NC 28778 and Mr. John Hennessy at the Wetlands and Stormwater Branch,NPS
Assistance and Compliance Oversight Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617.
Your response should address the following items:
I. Stream Standard - Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
• Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan to this office for review and approval.
The plan must address removal of the accumulated sediment from Island Creek
from the upstream end of an existing culvert located in the southern portion of
your property throughout the stream reach beyond the newly installed culvert
(approximately 900 feet total). The plan must be submitted to the Division of
Water Quality for review and approval prior to implementation. You are
encouraged to secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream
restoration to assist you with development of your plan and authorization
necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your consultant contact
Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional guidance during
plan development. The plan should include the following:
■ A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed and how impacted
jurisdictional waters will be restored.
■ A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.
■ A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts.
■ A narrative explaining how sediment will be retained on the site and kept out
of waterways, and how restoration activities will be conducted such that
turbidity standards are not exceeded.
• Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.
II. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit
pertaining to the culvert installation that has occurred. A 401 WQC will be
required if the activities are permitted by the Corps. The application process as

.,1 W.Repasky
.March 29,2010
Page 3 of 4
described does not guarantee the impacts will be approved. It appears the
culvert is not properly installed and if permitted will likely require re-
installation.
2. Restoration of the streambank and channel.
a. Provide a stream restoration plan that includes the removal of the
culvert,restoration of the stream channel as well as the restoration of the
streambank and buffer along the stream that has been graded.
Satisfactory streambank restoration requires planting in accordance with
the EEP Publication"Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration". This
document is available electronically at
hiip://www.nceep.net/news/reports/buffers.pdf.
If pursuing Option 1:
a. Contact the United States Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting
needs of the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is
[phone].
b. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification(401 WQC application) submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2:
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. The
plan must address removal of the culvert,restoration of the stream channel as well
as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream as described above
in Option 2. The plan must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality for
review and approval. You are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant
experienced in stream restoration to assist you with development of your plan and
authorization necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your
consultant contact Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional
guidance during plan development. The plan should include the following:
b. A narrative explaining how the restoration activities will be conducted.
c. A diagram of the stream channel; including, details of the stream channel
restoration and buffer planting in order to meet the guidelines noted above. Photo
documentation of before and after conditions must be provided.
d. A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the restoration work.
e. Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Town of Weaverville's Ivy River Water Treatment Plant (on-line in 1997) is classified as a
Class I Physical Chemical wastewater treatment facility, which discharges filter backwash
wastewater from the Water Treatment Plant.
The wastewater facility feeds sulfur dioxide gas for dechlorination, prior to discharge from a
single 250,000 gallon concrete settling basin. The decanted supernatant is discharged 30 feet
upstream of the raw water intake. This supernatant contains residuals of alum, polyaluminum
chloride polymer(DelPAC 2020), 12% sodium hydroxide and orthophosphate. The settled solids are
pumped from the settling tank by a private contractor and hauled to MSD.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION /LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 7-6-07 by Janet Cantwell
The permit expires on September 30, 2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to
expiration (due March 30, 2010). A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, required
testing and sample results.
EFFLUENT DATA:
The settleable solids were < 0.1 ml/l.
The total residual chlorine was < 10 ug/I.
This system discharges —2-3 days per week.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Tony Laughter, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and
maintaining the facility very well.
The effluent appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.

Subject: Stream Determination
Burns Property/Montreat Preserve
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Burns:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff(Linda Wiggs and Susan Wilson)met with you on March 17, 2010
to perform a stream determination along an unnamed tributary to Flat Creek, a Class C-HQW stream in the
French Broad River Basin [ref. Stream Index No. 6-78-6-(l 1)].
A topographic map of the stream and a sketch drawing, along with latitude/longitude is attached for your future
reference. As we discussed, at the fork below the old"reservoir wall"until the creek goes subsurface, DWQ
considers that to be a stream and subject to regulatory authority. From the point where the creek goes
subsurface, until it resurfaces—there is no defined creek and therefore not subject to DWQ regulatory authority.
After the creek"resurfaces", it is again subject to regulatory authority.
A copy of the 15A NCAC 2B .0300 indicating the stream and its classification, a copy of 15A NCAC 2H .1000
regarding applicable stormwater rules specific to HQW (High Quality Waters), and a copy of NC GS 113A-57
regarding state standards for land-disturbing activities is also attached for your reference.
At this time, since you plan to construct a single family dwelling, and likely your maximum disturbance will be
under one acre, the state regulations regarding stormwater for HQW do not apply. However, the DWQ
recommends that you comply with the 30 foot vegetative buffer to the maximum extent practicable. Please be
aware that you will need to comply with any requirements set forth by the Town of Montreat and Buncombe
County regarding sediment and erosion control and/or stormwater.

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non-discharge options available.
Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated.
Spray Irrigation: No land available
Connection to Regional Sewer System: None close
Subsurface: Site not suitable
Other disposal options: Apparently none
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
One note of interest:The well for the apartments' drinking water will be located about
30 feet from the sand filter. Also, it appears the new facility will be about 10 feet from the adjoining
property line. Because of the close proximity of the facility to the well and adjoining property line, this
Region would like to point out the setbacks in the 2 T regulations.
This Region concurs with the issuance of the permit, providing sound engineering practices
allow this facility to comply with the setbacks in 15 A NCAC.02 T.0506 (b).

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson(DWQ),Andrea Keller(DWM), and Starr Silvis(DLQ) met with Jim Huff, Larry Wright, and Cheryl Marks at
the Madison County Landfill.
Madison County conducts their qualitative monitoring at each outfall once a week and/or after 0.5 inch rainfall event. A
rain gauge is on site and it is used concurrently with nearby weather stations.
Madision County samples at outfalls designated as OF-1 through OF-4. OF-I,-2,and-3 are stable and primarily
vegetated areas. The County may wish to consider these for representative outfall status(ROS) in the future. There was
little to nol flow from these outfalls at the time of the inspection.
Outfall 4(OF-4) is really a combination of 3 potential outfalls, combining to one common point. At this time,the DWQ will
accept this as a sampling point. If analytical or qualitative monitoring indicates potential issues (or the bench mark values
are exceeded) at OF-4, the County should contact the DWQ and potentially monitor the individual outfalls[reference map
designed by McGill].
The County does not use more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month-so vehicle maintenance monitoring does not
apply. The facility does have fuel stored in a containment unit(not exposed to stormwater).
Madison County Landfill was in compliance with its stormwater permit during the time of inspection-no outstanding
issues were noted. The County was keeping excellent records of stormwater events and monitoring.

Inspection Date: 03/18/2010 Inspection Type:Stormwater Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Linda Wiggs(DWQ-ARO) met with McCray Coates, Monte Clampett, and Edna Johnson at the Bus
Transit site. Ms. Johnson is the supervisor at the site.
Ms. Johnson has hired a consultant to assist with qualitative and analytical sampling at the site(along with the stormwater
ehind on implementation at this site-but is
management plan). Sampling has been conducted since 2009 (the City was b
on track now).
Ms. Johnson had requested representative outfall status(ROS)for some outfalls. Due to the lack of sufficient data- DWQ
cannot grant this request at this time.
As we discussed,the City should continue to perform qualitative monitoring at all outfalls(SDO-001 through-004). The
City should also continue to perform analytical monitoring at SDO-001 and-002. Analytical monitoring should also be
conducted at SDO-004 (some runoff from the garage area has the potential to go to this outfall). Should-004 continue to
show values below benchmark, the City may request deletion or reduction of this requirement.
With regard to the wash water from the buses(some of which was leaving the site at the time of inspection),the City
should continue to evaluate eliminating this as a source to the stormwater outfall.
