Dear Mr. Wiggins:
In response to your letter dated August 22, 2000, we offer the following:
1. All piping susceptible to vehicular traffic was changed to ductile iron pipe and shall
be covered to a minimum of eighteen inches.
3. A note was added that all elbow fittings shall be the long sweeping type and
cleanouts must be housed in meter boxes, with the meter box cover flush to the soil
surface.
4. All filter and discharge lines shall be 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC.
5. The plans include a note and an approximate limit of Flood Zone A,however,no
base flood elevations were determined. We moved the treatment system away from
the flood zone. We feel this location is protected from the 100 year flood.
6. We added vents to each filter bed for aeration and snaking.

determining factors in successfully obtaining any NPDES Permit is
the demonstration by the that there is no other reasonably
available treatment and disposal alternative to creating a
discharge to these waters.

Subject: Renewal Notice/General Permit NCG550000
Certificate of Coverage NCG551075
Buncombe County
Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NCG550000 will expire on July 31, 2007.
Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your property was last issued on August 1, 2002.
The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 is still
necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed
Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and
submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Larry Frost in the NC
DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you
determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information reauest does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50 00 billed
separately by the Division's Budget Office No money is required for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your CoC is like the renewal of your Driver's
License [ca. every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice.

Hi Matt,
It appears William (Billy) Taylor has sold his property on Upper Brush Crk Rd to a
resident named Tamas. Roza Tamas is inquiring about building on the land by the road
and next to the Fire Department. Building permits suggested she contact me for proof of
a sewer system.
This is an unusual situation, but this parcel by the road, not the back parcel, is allowed
to tie onto the Fire Departments sewer system which is permitted by us, Permit #
NCG551075. One house only and no more than 3 bedrooms, as the permitted flow
allowance is 1,000 GPD for the entire system (Fire Department and the residence).
The line from the residence will have to cross the creek, the portion of the line crossing
the creek has to be constructed out of ferrous material pipe.
Since this a shared system, the resident and the Fire Department are required to work
together and share the cost to properly operate and maintain this system.
Let me know if you need anything else.

The inspector met onsite with William Taylor, Sco Jones, Dan Harper, Ronald Hudgins and
Tom Aley.Tim Heim with DWR was also prese
This permit was applied for in August 2000 and perm t N G55 175 was issued in September 2000 to
William Taylor. The property has been subdivided into o par ne parcel remains under the
ownership of Mr.Taylor, the other is owned by the Fairview Fire Department.The parcel owned by the
Fire Department is where the wastewater system is located. The system was recently installed with a
tie in for Mr.Taylor's property from which this parcel was separated.
An ownership change form was submitted to DWR by both parties(January 2015)and the permit
owner now reflects the Fairview Fire Department.
Several handouts on operation and maintenance of this type of wastewater system were given to Mr.
Scott for reference._
Upon inspection the system appears to have been installed according to permit condition which
currently requires de-chlorination following chlorination. There were two areas that need attention; the
de-chlorination unit needs a lid and there were sinkholes/settling that need to be repaired immediately.
It is important that runoff water is shed away from this system. Also to protect the effluent pipe wing
wall there was an area of sloughing beginning at the top of the streambank just upstream of the wing
wall.

Subject: Fairview Fire Dept.Info.
Mrs. Wiggs,
I just pulled purchase agreement from the file to purchase the property from Billy Taylor.The signed agreement clearly
states and I'm paraphrasing because it is a lengthy section.
It states that users of the system shall bear the per capita all operation, maintenance, repair costs and expenses of the
jointly used portions of the system. Seller shall include in the general warranty deed a reservation of right and easement
to connect to said septic system,the adjoining land which remains property of the seller.
I think it basically covers everything that you recommended except for the permittee/owner name.
Thanks
Scott Jones
