Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Site was inspected on 7/27/2016 by Kevin Mitchell, Zan Price, and Tim Fox with the Asheville Regional
Office. The owners were not present during the inspection. The site visit began with an evaluation of
the water intake structure on Sorrels Creek followed by a walk through of the entire facility which
contained two raceways, multiple small settling ponds, and an evaluation of the effluent discharge.
The water intake appears to be withdrawing 2/3 of the flow from Sorrels Creek; however, it did not
appear to be impacting water quality downstream in this pool -drop reach of Sorrels Creek.
The raceways did not contain many fish (-25).
Solids removal is recommended on the last raceway and all settling ponds. Make sure to use best
management practices to complete the requested maintenance activity to avoid water quality standard
violations in the receiving stream (e.g. instream sediment, turbidity, etc.). Downstream water quality
below the outfall did not appear to be impacted with solids.
All monitoring data and analytical results must be kept on site for a minimum of three years per General
Permit NCG530000.

Subject: NPDES Wastewater Permit Coverage Renewal
Sorrells Creek Trout Farm
COC Number NCG530123
Haywood County
Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG530000. This permit expires
on July 31, 2002. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a
scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued
coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of
your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit
coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This
will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and
returned with the required information by February 01, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the
general permit. There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual
permit fee at a later date.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility
without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional
Office at 828-251-6208 or Aisha Lau of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 578
