JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
Case Number: MV-2017-0002 County: Avery
Assessed Party: Adams Apple Homeowners Association Inc
Permit No.: NC0042358 Amount Assessed: $516.62
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the 'Request For Remission,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form to request remission of this civil penalty.
You should attach any documents that you believe support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in
evaluating your request for remission. 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. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1(c),remission of a civil
penalty maybe granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you
believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation,including copies of supporting documents,as to why the
factor applies(attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b)were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner(the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation(i.e., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident(i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions(i.e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve
compliance).

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The saturation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dau
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However,for purposes of this permit,any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling,
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods:January through March,April through June,July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method(specific number and size of aliquots necessary,the time interval
between grab samples,etc.)on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous:a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series a£grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection,or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hoar period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system,or
Version 1110912011

rNPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval.Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director.This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent.The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility.Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the
"daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample,"above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest"daily discharge'during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
pemtit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s),that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
D WO or"the Division"
The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.

Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit.Completion of Facility closure will allow this
pemtit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N=the number of individual values.For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean,values of"0"(or"< [detection level]")shall be considered=1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ad,collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes.Grab samples can be
collected manually.Grab samples must be representative of the discharge(or the receiving stream,for instream
samples).

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
I (Daniel Boss) conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Adam's Apple Condominiums
WNfrP on 8117/2017. Denver Eggers(ORC) and Tim Fox from DWR-ARO were also present for the
inspection. The plant appeared to be running fine at the time. In the past there have been some high
fecal coliform levels in the effluent samples, but Denver said that was because the chlorine tablets
would get stuck in the tubes and now he shakes the tubes to make sure the tablets are contacting the
effluent.
Since at least 2004 this permit has required composite sampling of the effluent for TSS, BOD, and
NH3. According to Denver that has never been done,only grab samples have been taken. Composite
sampling needs to begin as soon as possible.
There was no access to running water at the plant. Some water access is strongly recommended for
cleaning equipment,tools,tank walls,etc.

I(Daniel Boss) conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at Adam's Apple Condominiums
WWiP on B/17/2017. Denver Eggers(ORC) and Tim Fox from DWR-ARO were also present for the
inspection.. The plant appeared to be running fine at the time, in the past there have been some high
fecal coliform levels in the effluent samples, but Denver said that was because the chlorine tablets
would get stuck in the tubes and now he shakes the tubes to make sure the tablets are contacting the
Since at least 2004 this permit has required composite sampling of the effluent for TSS, BOD,and
NH3. According to Denver that has never been done, only grab samples have been taken. Composite
sampling needs to begin as soon as possible.
There was no access to running water at the plant. Some water access is strongly recommended for
cleaning equipment,tools,tank walls,etc.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Adams Apple
NPDES#: NC0042358
Date: 3/3/10
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina.We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility,please
contact Paul Isenhour at(828) 898-6277.We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present(i.e.,rags and papers).The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester,the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids'volume.When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection.The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used,there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water.When ultraviolet light(UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs,the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE -
The treatment plant did very well last year.We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year.All of the samples that were taken for the plant were
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

The wwtp appeared to be operating properly. It is suggested that the permittee install some sort of steps to
facilitate safe access for the operators to get into the plant. Also note that in the past the effluent line had
developed a leak and had allowed some effluent to be discharged onto the adjacent road. The connections
on the line should be checked to assure no further leaks of that type in the future.

Dear Mr. Lehning:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on August 27 2009. The facility appeared to be in compliance
with permit NC0042358. The kind assistance of Mr. Larry Townsend during the
inspection was greatly appreciated. He is doing a good job of operating this facility.
There are a couple of items which need attention: for the safety of the operator in
his daily operations, the flow-neter needs to be repositioned and steps, along with a
handrail, should be installed from the road to the wastewater treatment plant.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500, Ext.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Larry Townsend/ORC and Keith Haynes of this office assisted in the inspection of this facility.
The permit will expire September 30, 2012.
The last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted 8/30/2007 by Wanda Frazier.
A current full copy of the permit should be maintained on site.
There is a slick, red clay path leading about 20 feet up the hill from the road to the wastewater treatment
plant. It is very difficult to traverse when wet, especially when carrying equipment for daily process control,
sampling and etc. Steps should be installed along with a handrail for the operator to more easily and safely
access the plant.
The flowmeter has been installed backwards and the operator has to hang over the basin to open and read
the meter. This makes it difficult for the operator to read the daily flow, a requirement of the NPDES permit.
This flowmeter must be repositioned for the safety of the operator.
The flowmeter was calibrated 8/18/09.
The effluent was clear.

Annual Wastewater Treatment plant Report
Adams Apple
NPDES #: NCO042358
Date: 2/11/09
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina.We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility,please
contact Paul Isenhour at(828)898-6277.We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes,and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present(i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water.This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed.When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester,the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids'volume.When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection.The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form.When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light(UV)is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs,the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year. All of the samples that were taken for the plant were
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers.The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Dear Mr. Lehning:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
inspection conducted on August 30, 2007.
Due to the excellent job performed by the contract operations firm and based on the
quality of the effluent, this office is judging this inspection as compliant. However, the Division
has serious concerns regarding the lack of maintenance and potable water on-site. These are
permit (NC0042358) conditions and are not being met. If corrective actions are not taken
before the next inspection, this facility will receive a Notice of Violation and be subject to civil
penalties.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff should have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500 extension 4662.

Section D: Summary of FindinglComments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units / Process Control Testing/ Effluent Data:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature= 22.0 degrees Celcius
pH = 6.7 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 4.94 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally i to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 250 ml/I = 25%
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. 30e/), 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.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 5.4 mg/I
pH = 7.4 units
Temperature = 20.5 degrees Celcius
Chlorine= < 15 ug/I
Records & Reports:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 8-24-2005 by Jim Reid.
The permit expires on 9-30-2007. A request for permit renewal is required to be submitted
6 months prior to expiration. A renewal notice was mailed as a reminder.
As of 8-22-2007,the Annual Compliance fee of$715.00 had not been paid. It was due on
6-16-2007. 1 contacted Mr. Larry Lehning, VP HOA, and spoke with him about this.
He requested that another bill be sent to him at his home (1208 Kelly Court; Cary NC 27511).

Inspection Date: 08/30/2007 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
I contacted Fran McPherson in the Central office. She is sending another notice/bill to
the Cary address. -
The log book was present on-site and had good notation of daily events.
Operations& Maintenance /Summary:
The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits.
The operator was on-site during the inspection and is doing a good job.
This facility appears to be very old and in need of replacement. The surfaces have not been
properly maintained are very corroded. The structural integrity may be in question.
There are many very serious safety hazards that need to be addressed immediately.
There is no safe access to the wastewater treatment plant. It sits above ground
on the side of a hill. There are no steps,just a muddy steep bank to climb with
nothing to hold on to. Steps and a handrail are needed to access the plant.
The top of the wastewater treatment plant is not accessible to the operator or
inspector. There are no steps leading to the top from the ground level. Part of
the plant is covered with (chicken)wire screens framed in wood. None will support
walking on, as most are rusted through and have holes. There are a few metal grates
scattered around the top, but they are rusted through, as well. In addition, there
are no handrails on top of the plant. Sturdy metal grating covering the entire
surface of the plant and safety rails around the perimeter are needed.
The return sludge line was so badly corroded that it had to be replaced. The old
pipe is still on-site as evidence of the condition of the plant's metal surfaces.
The aeration blowers are very old. The aeration basin is in need of more diffuser
drops on the opposite side, so that the activated sludge is properly aerated and basin
contents "roll" properly to prevent the settling-out of sludge.
There is no potable water on-site. There once was, but the line was cut when one of
the condo units was condemned and burned. The operator has to carry a portable
pump to the site to wash down the plant. Not having potable water on-site is
unsanitary and unacceptable.
The existing sampler is very old and does not work. It is still on-site, inside
a green cooler. The operator is currently using one (Isco) owned by WQ Labs.
The permit requires that samples be collected by a flow proportional, composite
sampler and be refrigerated during the 24-hour sampling event.
The flow meter is veryold and was improperly installed. It sits on top of the
plant and faces backwards in the flow meter box. The operator has to stand on
a rail, on top of the plant, holding on to the flow meter stand (corroded) and
Page N 3

Permit: N00042358 Owner-Facility: Adams Apple HOA
Inspection Date: 08/30/2007 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
lean all the way around the box to read the flow. There are no walkways or
handrails to stand on or hold to. While reading the flow,the operator is about
10 feet above the ground. If he slipped or fell there would be nothing to
catch him except the chlorine contact tank down below. Considering the remoteness
of the facility(in the woods away from anyone), such an injury could be fatal.
The fencing around the facility is very pooly construced and appears to be temporary
at best. It is not at even heights, nor are the fence posts straight and rigid.
All in all, the plant is in horrible condition and poses many very serious safety
hazards. Immediate plans should be made to remedy these safety and housekeeping
items as soon as possible. The HOA is liable for injuries and OSHA fines for safety
violations.
Future plans to replace this plant needs to be discussed and provisions made to do so.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
da
Adams Apple
NPDES#: NCO042358 -
Date: 2/13/08 ! APR l p zpoR
oEs.W� a
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of Nortfi Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or conceming your wastewater utility,please
contact Paul Isenhour at(828)898-6277.We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present(i.e.,rags and papers).The water than goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester,the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility.The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect,the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light(UV) is used,the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. We are very pleased to report that there were
no violations for the entire year. All of the samples that were taken for the plant were -
under the limits set be the State Division of Water Quality.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Permit Number NCO042358
Avery County
Dear Mr. Vass:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection report from
the inspection conducted on August 24, 2005. The facility was judged to be non-
compliant with Condition C.2. Of permit number NC0042358, requiring proper operation
and maintenance of all treatment and control systems. Specifically, the chlorine contact
tank had deteriorated to the extent that structural failure appeared likely.
Additionally, the steel components of the package plant had rusted to the point that
coating (painting) would be recommended. Many additional years of utility can be derived
from those systems on which paint is adequately maintained.
On or before September 30, 2005 please respond in writing describing what
actions are planned or have been taken to provide an adequate chlorine contact tank.
Your attention is appreciated. Kindly contact Mr. James Reid at telephone number 828-
296-4651 if there are questions or matters with which this agency could be of assistance.

RE: Stop Work Order(Adams Apple Cluster 92)Units 3 &6
Dear Ms.Bush,
This letter is to document the"Stop Work Order"placed on Units 3 &6 of Cluster#2 of
the Adams Apple Home Owners Association. The order is issued under North Carolina
General Statutes [143-138(b) 153A-357, 160A-417] with violation of these sections
constitutes aClass 1 misdemeanor. As owner of said property, you must comply with the
building.permit process and construct the deck to commercial standard as provided in the
North Carolina Building Code Volume 1.
I spoke to Mr. David Ramsey,President of the Home Owners Association and advised
him that I would be taking pictures of Cluster#2 Condominiums to further document the
additional structure and building code violations which are present.
This letter will also serve as notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
and be sent to Mr. Mike Parker,Environmental Chemist and Field Inspector for the
Division of Water Quality,for the encroachment of the 30 foot buffer area for the high-
quality waters of the Watauga River.
All work shall cease and desist until all permitting is properly handled through all y. 6
agencies and entities concerned. �Q/ ��aar.✓ 'I p

Dear Mr. Martin,
This letter is to verify the information you received on Dec. 9th. ,
1997 that your project will conform within the guidelines of Avery
County Ordinances and the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality Regulations.
The Adams Apple Subdivision is an existing subdivision of record and
the tracts are exempt from the present county subdivision
regulations. The ground disturbing activity is less than one square
acre, so a Sedimentation and Erosion Plan is not required to be
submitted to this office. I do expect you to take any measures
necessary to keep sedimentation from getting into the stream. The
building site has a small stream on it called "Shanty Springs" which
has a D.W.Q. classification of High Quality Waters. The Division of
Water Quality requires a 30 foot undisturbed buffer from the stream
and also a maximum 12% .built upon area. The built upon area includes
all impervious surface area which is in conjunction with the
residential structure you propose to build. Adams Apple has it's own
waste treatment plant which is in good standings with the North
Carolina permit to discharge effluent sewage at this time and all new
construction has to be placed on their waste water system.
The Avery County Planning and Inspections Department does not foresee
anything that would prohibit your single family dwelling to be built
in Adams Apple Subdivision. The plans and building site must be
submitted to this office for approval before a building permit is
issued and as we discussed, the project will be site specific and the
regulations of the N.C. Division of Water Quality must be adhered to.
I wish you the most success with your new home. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact this office.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations `and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20Systems/CoflectionSystems Home htmI
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.
