Dear Mike:
Jack Horton and I had been working on some issues involving sewer and water prior to his retirement and the County
and Town still have work to do to clear up some unresolved issues.
The most pressing issue we have at present is the LBJ Sewer line and associated sewer pump stations. Jack was going to
have Municipal Engineering take a look at the lines and get an opinion as to what is causing increased pressures on the
lines, which may be indicative of a blockage somewhere. The NC Department of Natural Resources indicates that Macon
County still holds the permits on the facilities and there are some questions as to whether the Town of Franklin officially
ever accepted responsibility for this system. I have also been unable to locate any type of agreement that permits the Town
of Franklin official access to LBJ property to inspect the pump station on the property on a regular basis.
Macon County and the Town of Franklin need to resolve as many issues as possible concerning this particular situation
and other water and sewer issues to clear up any questions or concerns about these systems. These systems are extremely
important to the end customers. Pending any significant progress particularly toward the LBJ sewer line issues, on February
18, 2014 the Town of Franklin will cease our daily inspections of the LBJ system that we are currently conducting. Although
this is a busy time of year, that timeframe allows 45 working days to develop a solution to ensure adequate service is
maintained and any problems are addressed.
Please feel free to contact my office at 828-524-2516 to set up a time convenient for both of us so we can discuss what
we need to do next or with any questions or other concerns you. may have.
Sincerely;
Warren J. Cabe

COMMUNICATION, ASSESSMENT
and
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES
for
LBJ JOB CORPS CENTER
PREPARED BY:
(NAME OF COLLECTION SYSTEM OPERATOR)
(FACILITY NAME)
(ADDRESS)
(TOWN), NORTH CAROLINA
(DATE)

PURPOSE:
This plan is to be implemented in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow, (SSO) or spill
within the Collection System. The plan was developed to insure the key personnel response to
ever spill event within 60 minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate attention.
The Collection System ORC or his appointed Back-up Operator will make the preliminary
assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That assessment includes
visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up will determine the appropriate response and request
assistance from key personnel as necessary. The attached callback list will be maintained
current and be ranked according to essential response including, i.e. equipment operators.
Local contractor may be employed as deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort should be
made to minimize the spill event consistent with the containment and source control section of
this plan. The safety of the response dent should in no way be compromised.
Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of obstruction
and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPILL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Resources, (DWR) must be
contacted as soon as possible, but in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;
1) the spill has reached surface waters, "Waters of the State" or
2) the spill exceeds 1,000 gallons.
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate volume, name
of respondent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than 1,000 gallons, are
not required to be reported to DWR. However, a full spill report form will be filled out and kept
on file.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment should indicate
the priority of source control and/or containment.
1) When the source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other methods,
the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced to the least
possible volume.
2) If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel should be
checked for;
a. Power on? Check breaker.
b. Breaker closed? Check thermal overloads (external button).
C. Overload good? Check fuses, if you are trained to do so.
d. Is pump straining? Clogged with debris?
e. Do you smell a burnt motor? Call for Electrician from approved list.
3) Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams (small streams, creeks).
b. Holes or pits (to prevent run off to surface waters).
If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact Power
Company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number for location.
If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make repairs.
Re -order parts as they are used!
If the problem results from sewer blockage, call for jet rodding machine (in house or
contractor from approved list).

REMEDIAL ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR SPILLS OCCURRING ON:
MAJOR INTERCEPTOR RIGHT OF WAY
Put up warning tape "DO NOT ENTER "around SSO site to restrict access.
In open areas lime, remove debris and lime site rotor -till if needed. Re -seed and mulch
with straw.
In areas were there is under growth and small trees, flush area with potable water until no
waste remains. Wait twelve to twenty four hours then lime the area. Be certain that lime
does not flush to receiving stream.
NOTE: DO NOT LIME IF RAIN IS FORECASTED.
IN CITIZEN'S YARD
Till entire area if possible. Apply lime and follow with seed and straw.
If waste / debris not visible, apply lime and 2 inches of top soil and mix thoroughly. Apply
lime lightly, seed and mulch.
ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
Set up containment at or near the storm drainage system. Do not let the spill enter the
storm drain system.
Put up Black or Red "DO NOT ENTER" tape around the SSO area.
Spread lime on spillage and sand or other material to a depth of one inch. Let this
material absorb for one hour, then sweep up. Dispose of debris appropriately. If the spill
is still evident repeat application.
After removing the contaminated material, wash down area with high pressure water and
bleach.
Pump clean up materials and wash water into sanitary sewer.
IN A CREEK OR STREAM
Take conductivity readings of the creek upstream and downstream to determine were
temporary dam should be placed.
The dam should be constructed near a manhole which is accessible to the jet rodder and
vacuum truck.

Dam should be placed below the spill as indicated by low conductivity reading.
Construct a dam sized to contain the flow of water plus any flush water added during
clean up.
Station pumps at the clean up site; use one for back-up.
Have a back hoe at the site for dam repairs as needed.
Wash down all rip -rap in stream bed until no residue is evident.
Put up warning tap "DANGER - DO NOT ENTER".
AT THE SPILL SITE AND 400 FEET DOWNSTREAM
Pull stream samples for fecal coliform: upstream and downstream.
Repeat sampling until normal. Background counts are normally 200 colonies per 100 mi.
If settled sludge evident sweep bottom until clean.
If creek or stream is classified recreational waters, notify the affected community and
local officials as soon as the problem is discovered.

I
I am in receipt of your notice postmarked July 23rd, 2013 concerning the LBJ Job Corp
Center sanitary sewer overflows and the notice of violation. Upon receiving your letter, I did
speak to Ms. Frazier from the Asheville Regional Office and discussed with her by phone this
situation of'which I was totally unaware of until now. I was not the Macon County Manager
when this project was undertaken, and permitted back in September, 2000.. I have been County
Manager here since January 2008 and was under the impression that the Town of Franklin was
maintaining the sewer pump station and associated lines. I was given a copy of a deed recorded
in 2004 that transferred the system and property to the Town of Franklin. We understand that
the town has taken a position that they have not formally accepted the system even though
this is now some nine;years,later. ;
We are currently working with the Town of Franklin to hopefully facilitate a permanent
transfer of this system to them since they obviously are better suited to maintain these types of
operations on an ongoing basis. Following Ms. Frazier's advice I met with Mr. Arthur Palo,
Director of the LBJ Job Corp Center, and went over the situation with him. I found that Mr.
Palo and the town have identified the problem and are working' closely to resolve it. I have
been made aware that the center has a formal request and a verbal commitment for additional
federal funds to effectuate a permanent solution to this continuing problem. (Copy attached).
Macon County's goal, I assure you, is to help the Town and the Center resolve this issue
immediately and to put into place the necessary measures that are critical in order to provide
long term, safe, and reliable sewer service to this important facility and to protect the water
supply for our town and county.

Subject: CRA Funding Request (4342) - Lyndon B. Johnson - Infiltration of Ground Wate
Roger Pritchett of the Forest Service has forwarded the Lyndon B. Johnson CRA funding request to National
Office for approval.
Forest Service Response:
Submitted to the National Office for approval. LBJ has been working with Parsons on an immediate repair to
this line. This is critical for the timeline set by the City of Franklin to rectify the source of infiltration in to the
city's sewage system.
CRA Funding Title: Infiltration of Ground Water

CRA Funding Type
Emergency $12,500.00
Non -Emergency $0.00
Supplemental $0.00
Redirect $0.00
CRA Funding Request Details:
Installation of Cured -in -place -pipe (CIPP)lining inversion method for rehabilitation of approximately 60' of
sewer line. The existing pipe reconstruction will be accomplished using a reinforced liner tube utilizing a
thermosetting resin that meets physical and chemical resistance properties. The intent of this cured -in -place
lining is to reconstruct the pipeline by installing a resin impregnated flexible tube that will fit tight and
continuous against the orginal pipeline. This process will eliminate any water intrusion and guards against any
environmental impact because there is no ground distrubrance. Cost of repair is approximately $200.00 per foot
@ 60' _ $12,000 plus and additional $500 for raising of manhole cover, total cost is $12,500. Unit costs came
from webpage of contractor and from the National Office.
Impact If Not Done:
This infiltration of ground water has increased the centers sewage cost three fold. (Jan. normal $2000.00, Jan.
2013 6000.00) The area in which the sewer pipe is located contains a small stream in which the pipe passes
through. This could also cause a negative environmental impact should raw wastewater intrude the stream. In
addition this infiltration has caused the down stream lift station to overflow several times and by state law was
reported to state EPA authorities.

Wanda Frazier, NCDENR — Division of Water Quality Notes:

Notes:
• Warren Cabe sent a letter and documents to Jack Horton, County Manager,
stating that the Town does NOT own the pump stations at LBJ, nor are they
responsible for them.
• Warren sent a letter to Arthur Phalo, LBJ JCC Director concerning the SSOs, I&I
and unreimbursed expenses related to the pump stations.
• McGill designed and engineered the pump stations. Terry Brothers installed
them. McGill evaluated the performance of the pumps at the LBJ & Enloe pump
stations and indicated that there were both undersized and needed replacing.
This was indicated in the 2007 Technical Assistance report.
• In 2005, the Town began checking the lift stations in an effort to determine if
they were operating properly for one year, before agreeing to take over the
O&M.
• After SSOs, the Town upsized one of the LBH pump station pumps from a 5.0 or
7.5 HP to a 10 HP pump. The 10 HP pump was still unable to prevent SSOs. The
pumps run 20 hours/day and pump 60-80 gpm (w/ 8-10 ft head). There is an
ultrasonic flow meter at the pump station, used by the Town for sewerage
billing.
• The Town has $30,000 worth of unreimbursed expenses during the past two
years for expenses involving the pump stations.
• This system is still permitted to the County. The County pays the electrical bill
for the pump stations.
• The County says they turned over the pump stations, but the Town says that
they did NOT accept them.
• The Town said that before the pump stations would be accepted, they would
have to perform one year trouble -free (no SSOs), per the Town's (2005) sewer
line extension policy. The Town performs daily (7 days/wk) visits to the LBJ
JCC pump stations. The lift stations do NOT have telemetry. They do have
diesel emergency generators.
• The Macon County Tax records 7010-2013 (indicate that the LBJ pump station
property is owned by the Federal government and the Enloe pump station
property is owned by Macon County.
• Documents indicating the transfer of ownership from the County to the Town is
required in order for the Town to be responsible for the LBJ JCC sewer
collection system. These documents would include the acceptance by the Town
for this system.
• Transfer of ownership for the NC DWQ sewer extension permits: WQ0017928
and WQ0021730, is also required. The change of ownership application form
(PNOCF 12-12) is on the DWQ web site:
hftp://www.ncwaterquality.org/web/wq/swp/ps/cs/pnoc
• The LBJ JCC currently has an enrollment of — 175 students plus staff members.

The Town of -Franklin has reported two separate incidents of untreated sewer discharge from the
pump station on Wayah Road in the last few months. One incident occurred on April 29, 2013 and one
incident occurred on June 10, 2013 and both appear related to infiltration of the sewer lines. In June
2011, the Town Attorney also sent notification of previous problems concerning the lines related to
infiltration. An Engineering Firm was also retained by Macon County in February 2005 to provide
engineering services to investigate the possibility of significant inflow and infiltration into the system
and identified several areas of potential problems and recommended solutions.
It is obvious at this point that either those problems have never been addressed, were addressed
improperly, or perhaps there are new problems with the system. The Town of Franklin has gone to
considerable lengths to keep the line in service and also incurred several expenses with such and will
seek reimbursement where permitted for such expenses. It is imperative that the problems with the
inflow and infiltration be addressed immediately before the problems multiply and cause significant
environmental damage and require further action from the Town of Franklin. Please feel free to contact
me concerning any questions you might have and please keep us informed of any progress made to
mitigate the problems.
Sincerely;
Warren J. Cabe

Technical Assistance Inspection

WL`� DD 1 -717.2- S
Enclosed please find a detailed summary and copy of Technical Assistance Inspection
form resulting from the Wastewater Collection System Technical Assistance, that I conducted
on March 21, and April 17, 2007. The Wastewater Collection System was found to have
several compliance issues at the time of the Technical Assistance, which are outlined in the
summary.
Participating in the Technical Assistance were: Mr. Jay Gibson of the Town of Franklin
and his staff, Mr. Ken Gibson, with the LBJ-Job Corps, and Mr. Forrest Westall with McGill
Associates. Their participation in the Technical Assistance is appreciated.
The Technical Assistance consisted of a physical inspection of the entire system
including every manhole and smoke testing of the system. Orange spray paint was applied to
areas identified at the manholes that require priority maintenance.
The collection system for the Arrowood Glade restroom has been repaired and the
upper manhole, number 41 on a previously developed map (attached), and just below the
restroom facilities, replaced and re -grouted. The two downstream manholes, numbers 38 and
39 on the previously developed map, in this "spur" to the overall facility have been
refurbished and "sealed" with some sort synthetic material, but the effectiveness of this repair
needs to be evaluated. One of the manholes, number 38 on the previously developed map,
exhibited significant "peeling of the material'. The contractor who did this work should be
required to redo the work, and an inspection conducted afterwards to determine its
acceptability. The "plugging" of this spur line at the fourth manhole, number 34 on the
previously developed map, below the restroom (facility has been closed over the winter and
not reopened yet) showed no accumulation of water within the manholes upstream of the
plug. With the exception of noted repair needs and rehab and raising of the additional
manholes in this spur line behind the houses, numbers 33,36,37, and 40 on the previously
map, along the creek and before the elevated stream crossing, the Arrowood Glade line
looked OK.

Detailed Summ
- Entire system is in critical need of rehabilitation, particularly almost all the manholes
on campus: Service taps from campus buildings are made directly into manholes,
these taps are "Hammer Taps", which is NOT a practice recommended by plumbing
code or experienced sewer collection system staff.
- Service tap "grouting" is incomplete or non-existent. Should be corrected by re -
grouting with a suitable material such as epoxy or other equivalent.
- Manhole location makes manholes subject to surface water runoff. Manholes are
consistently "too low", they should be raised to grade level.
- Replace manhole rings and covers. Several of the cover rings and lids should be
replaced and modified to standard conditions. One method would be to use "
Composite Plastic or Fiberglass" rings and covers. This would be appropriate in areas
that `DO NOT" have vehicular traffic.
- Manhole Interiors, drops are non-existent inside the manholes. This condition allows
for solids and other debris to fall, wad up, and allow for the "Wastewater" flow to
continue through the system creating conditions that cause sewer "back-ups", system
"stoppages", and "sewer overflows", in addition to creating a health and environmental
hazard. All improvements to the system must include appropriate manhole drop
rehabilitation.
Other factors affecting the operation of the collection system include the composition
of the sewage flow into this collection system. This includes materials inconsistent with
the proper operation of a gravity sewer collection system and with proper operation of
a pump station. Each and every collection system user should be encouraged to NOT
dispose of paper towels, fabric, and other "foreign" materials into the system. This will
make maintenance and operation of the new bar screen easily accomplished, work on
the installation of the "Bar Screen" needs to be completed "immediately". The bar
screen should be inspected periodically during each operational day, particularly after
expected maximum flow periods (morning meal, lunch and dinner, etc.)
The work that is needed within the Job Corps collection system will require funding
from the Center and the Forest Service. The needed repairs and rehab work is essential
to protection of the students and staff of the Center as well as the public with access
to the area, the facilities within the Arrowood Glade restroom, and the surrounding
surface waters.
The two Sanitary Sewer Overflow's reported at the LBJ and Enloe Pump Stations are
related to the condition of the sewer collection system and are the reason for the non-
compliance. If the needed repairs of the collection system are not accomplished, failures of
the collection system and downstream pump stations are expected. A failure will result in the
release of raw sewage to the environment endangering the public health and ecological
integrity of the natural systems (streams, groundwater, and terrestrial) adjacent to and
downstream of these systems. Such a failure of a Collection System under N.C. laws can
also result in enforcement actions up to and including a Civil Penalty Assessment
being levied for the failure.

available during the T/A, but Town of Franklin staff reported and LBJ staff concurred that one
of the two pumps installed at the LBJ pump station, pumped below its system rated capacity.
This pump should be replaced with one that will pump at least at the systems rated capacity.
Regulations and pump station minimum design criteria require that every pump in a pump
station, be capable of pumping at 2 Y2 times the rated system capacity. It is also suggested
that a "spare" pump be available for the station.
The Job Corps Center representative indicated that the Center would have no
students starting in June and running into July of this year. This time should be the best
opportunity to undertake the needed rehab work. Specific actions and efforts related to the
ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the collection system within the Forest Service/Job
Corps Center is the responsibility of these agencies, and is outlined in NCAC Title 15A,
Subchapter 2T, Section .0400 described as follows:

McGill Associates, P.A. was retained by Macon County to provide professional
engineering services to investigate the possibility of significant inflow/infiltration (I/I) into the
sewer system at the LBJ Job Corps Campus and the Mill Creek Country Club subdivision.
The area of study was confined to the following areas:
1. LBJ Job Cot campus
2.. Arrowwood Glade Sewer Line serving U.S. Forest Service restroom facilities
3. Lower portion of Mill Creek Country Club sewer system
The sanitary sewer system in each area was field inspected for general condition and data was
collected. regarding the size, material, 'and structural condition of the pipes, inlets, and
structures; invert depths; the presence of any blockages or debris; and any special conditions.
Methods
This study consisted of a field assessment, including visual inspection and smoke testing of all
manholes in the LBJ Job Corps area that drain to the LBJ Job Corps pump station and one day of
inspections and smoke . testing in the Mill Creek Country Club area. Manholes were located
based on record drawings provided by McGill Associates and a dated sewer system map
provided by LBJ Job Corps maintenance staff. Inspections consisted of recording the physical
attributes of the manholes including:
• Condition of the Manhole, Cover, Invert, and Steps
• Diameter and Depth of the Manhole
• Manhole Material
• Height of Cover Above Ground
• Type of Cover
• Inflow and Outflow Pipe Diameter and Material
Page 1

• Service Connection Pipe Diameter and Material
• Evidence of Surcharging
• Depth of Flow
• General Notes
A summary of the data collected for each manhole is provided in the Appendix. .
The second part of the study was the performance of smoke testing through the system. This is .
achieved by using a smoke blower. to discharge smoke into a manhole and blow it through the
sewer system. The smoke will normally discharge from manhole lids and roof vents allowing
the test limits to be determined. Smoke will also be emitted by other openings in the system. that
may be sources of I/I, such as roof drains or the ground around a broken manhole or pipe.
LBJ Job Corps Evaluation and Results:
A total of 41 manholes were .located in the LBJ Job Corps area, 35 of which were inspected. The
remaining 6 manholes were buried or could not be opened. The locations were marked on a base
map and the manholes were numbered as inspected. See the attached map. A total of 6 smoke
tests were performed. Smoke was blown into manholes 3, 9, 14, 19, 34, and 39. The test limits
and findings are denoted in the Appendix.
The field assessment of the existing sewer system indicated that a large portion of.the system is
in fair to poor condition. Manholes labeled as being in poor condition include those with no
inverts, inverts shaped improperly for the flow conditions and other manholes with improper
pipe connections. Fair manholes include those having inverts that are working but may have
some minor solids accumulation or other minor substandard conditions. Several manholes were
located in the system with minor potential for infiltration or inflow. The most significant
potential sources of infiltration and inflow located were at manholes 17 and 18, manholes in low
areas with inadequately sealed covers, and the Arrowwood Glade line.
Manholes 17 and 18 are located on a service line behind the Business. Technologies building.
Both manholes are constructed identically and have similar potential for inflow. Over a foot of
Page 2

solids was standing in both manholes. Concrete slabs that do not seal well are used as covers on
the manholes (see picture below). They are located at the building corners and have downspouts
from roof drains discharging within five (5) feet of the manholes.
Manhole 17 located behind Business Technology building
Several manholes throughout the system are located in low areas and have the potential for
inflow in a rain event where standing water may accumulate above them. A high potential exists
for the standing water to seep through improperly sealed or vented covers. Although individual
manholes in this situation may not be a significant source, the cumulative effect could be
considerable.
The Arrowwood Glade sewer line begins at manhole 34 and connects the United States Forest
Service restroom facilities to the LBJ Job Corps pump station. The manholes on this line are in
overall poor condition and given the location, parallel to a creek, create a likely source of
infiltration and inflow. Pipe .connections to manholes 34,. 38 and 39 are improperly connected
into the manhole with poor grouting or no grouting at all. At manholes 38 and 39, smoke was
observed coming from the ground around the manholes.
Page 3

Mill Creek Country Club Evaluation and Results:
Approximately 15 manholes were inspected in the Mill Creek area. Most of the manholes
inspected were on lines along, creeks or in the older parts of the system. There was no significant
sources of infiltration or inflow were found during the manhole inspections. Minor sources
located during the inspections include two service lines which cross creeks at' or just below the
water level and were constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. Manhole 1 had some
potential for infiltration through a poorly grouted sewer service connection.
Three (3) smoke tests were performed in the Mill Creek area. Smoke was blown into manhole S-
4-1, manhole 2 and a manhole located below the tennis courts on the main line. There was no
significant individual sources of infiltration or inflow were located during the smoke testing. A
cleanout located behind the Country Club office building was missing its lid and had some
potential for inflow because.it was located at ground level.
Mill Creels Country Club also provided McGill Associates, P.A. with a table denoting pump run
times and rainfall amounts from April 14, 2004 through June 3, 2004. A summary of the data
provided is included in the Appendix. The pump run times for periods, during which rain events
occurred, do not appear to be affected by the rain. The highest peak in average run time occurred
on a day when only a minor rain event occurred and the data from other rain event periods does
not coincide with this single data point. It is therefore concluded that the rain events did not
affect the average pump run times for the periods in which they occurred and indicate that the
overall system is not impacted by inflow or infiltration into the system.
Mill Creek Country Club Recommendations:
Based on the field assessment of the existing sewer system the following repairs are
recommended to reduce infiltration and inflow into the subject sewer system.
• Sewer Service connection to manhole 1 should be grouted properly to prevent inflow and
extended to discharge, over the manhole invert to avoid depositing solids on the bench.
• Existing PVC sewer services which cross any creels less than 3 feet below the creels bed
should be replaced with ductile iron pipe to a minimum of 5' either side of the creek.

Recommendation on bid award for Macon Middle School sewer line — Joel Storrow, McGill
Associates
Joel Storrow said the initial low bid was from L-J, Inc. for $542,156.00. He said the original
cost estimate for the project construction was $382,600.00. Mr. Storrow said we are proposing
the following changes to the project: (1) relocating the pump station on the Macon County
property adjacent to the parking area for the athletic fields which reduced the amount of twelve
inch gravity sewer by 1,850 lineal feet, (2) reduction in the number of manholes required and (3)
the elimination of paving repairs required. He said the estimated new total construction cost is
$462,306.00. Mr. Storrow said the funding for the project is from the following sources: (1)
North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center - $400,000.00, (2) Macon County School
Board - $113,322.00, (3) Macon County - $10,000.00, (4) Owens (Sanders Property) -
$10,750.00 and (5) Mark Berry - $10,750.00. He said we have provided a breakdown of the
anticipated future allocation for tap fees and availability fees as a result of easement negotiations.
He said the following persons would receive a waiver of tap and availability fees: (1) Wells
Grove Baptist Church - $1,980.00, (2) Vanderwoude - $1,980.00, (3) Van Hook - $1,980.00 and
(4) Gary Owens (Sanders property)-$21,500.00. He said also the school would be getting one
free sewer tap and waiver of availability fees. Alderman Williamson said I don't like giving
Gary Owens that much in free taps and availability fees. Alderman Roper said I think like
Alderman Williamson does. Mayor Collins said can we condemn the property? Mr. Storrow
said the Sanders easement is the longest at around 2,600 feet. He said there will be no stub out at
Dowdle Mountain since this part is not eligible for funding. He said Mark Berry would then be
receiving nothing for his money. He said there has been no engineering done yet. Mr. Storrow
said we may need to take Mark Berry's money off the table. Alderman Curtis said I would like
to award the bid and negotiate later about the easements. Motion was made by Curtis,
seconded by Roper to award the revised bid to L-J, Inc. in the amount of $462,306.00.
Motion carried. Vote: 5 to 0. Motion was made by Williamson, seconded by Curtis to do

Persons to be heard (continued)
Jim Vanderwoude said I have two projects I am working on. He said there is water at the
Nantahala Bank site but to get sewer to the site from the manhole it will cost me $39,000.00. He
said if the Town is planning to do a larger project to provide sewer to the new library site and to
the Southwestern Community College site, I would be willing to increase my contribution to
$50,000.00. He said my allocation to the Mayberry village has ended. He said I am formally
requesting the same amount in water and sewer allocations. Joel Storrow said the big sewer
project has been delayed and additional studies will have to be done. He said at this time until
we do the larger sewer project we cannot accommodate the library or the school. Alderman
Scott said what impact will Mayberry have on the environment? He said I would like to see
some plans of the project. Motion was made by Curtis, seconded by Williamson to give the

Deeds - Commissioner Shepherd made a motion to increase the Register of Deeds salary
to $42,000 per year. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Leatherman and passed
four to one with Commissioner Simpson opposing. Sheriff - Commissioner Leatherman
made a motion to increase the Sheriff's salary to $51,150 annually. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Bryson and passed four to one with Commissioner Simpson
opposing. Veterans Service - Commissioner Leatherman made a motion to approve a
two grade increase at five percent (5%) per grade for the Veterans Service Officer setting
the grade as 27 at a salary of $27,736.50. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Shepherd and passed four to one with Commissioner Simpson opposing. Salary
Increases - Commissioner Simpson stated he had requested this item be added to the
agenda and although the recent salary increases were discussed at the August 25th
meeting, he still questioned the magnitude, how and why these raises were given. He
stated he felt if the Board let the raises stand they would undermine the trust of the people
and therefore made a motion that the Board rescind non -departmental raises, those not
included in the budget, and turn them over to the Human Resource Officer, let him
research job descriptions and compensation for those position and come back to the
Board with a recommendation. Commissioner Leatherman seconded the motion for sake
of discussion stating he agreed with some of Commissioner Simpson's concerns but felt
the Board, through actions and conversation, have passed along their displeasure with the
situation and have amended the policy to insure this doesn't happen in the future. After
further discussion, Chairman West called for the vote and the motion failed one to four

with Chairman West, Commissioners Bryson, Leatherman and Shepherd opposing.
ADJOURNEMNT: Upon a motion by Commissioner Bryson and seconded by
Commissioner Simpson the Board unanimously voted to adjourn.

water and/or sewer extension projects have been undertaken so as to provide accessibility to the
Town of Franklin public water and sewer systems to designated portions of the County, both inside
and outside the Town limits; and
Whereas, water and sewer lines have previously been extended from the Town of
Franklin City Limits, southerly along U.S. Highway 441 South to the State of North Carolina
Welcome Center and beyond; and
Whereas, both water and sewer lines have been extended from along U. S. Highway
64 West (old U.S. 64) to Mill Creek Country Club; and

Town of Franklin
Water and Sewer Service Extension Policy --
I. Purpose
The objective of the Water and Sewer Service Extension Policy is to set
forth guidelines for the extension of water and sanitary sewer facilities.
Such extensions are intended to facilitate planned growth and
development and to provide essential water and sanitary sewer services
to unserved areas.
II. Jurisdictional Considerations
Public water services in this area are provided by the Town of Franklin,
although Macon County maintains ownership of lines through Patton
Valley and along Addington Bridge Road, plus a water tank near
Addington Bridge. The extension of water service facilities may consist of
the construction of the following:
• Water transmission lines and large water mains
• Water storage tanks
• Water treatment plants
• Water pumping stations
• Related equipment
Municipal sewer services in this area are also provided by the Town of
Franklin, and the town owns and maintains all components of the sewer
system, with the exception of the line serving the Lyndon B. Johnson
Civilian Conservation Center facility on Wayah Road and the line serving
the South Macon Elementary School on Addington Bridge Road. Service
may be extended beyond the town limits only if the provisions of Section
III-2 of this policy are satisfied. The extension of sewer service facilities
may consist of the construction of the following:
• Collector sewers
• Interceptor sewers
• Sanitary sewer force mains
• Sewer treatment plants
1

• Sewer pumping stations
• Other appurtenances necessary to provide sewer service
1. Definitions
a. Annexation. The process whereby land is incorporated
into and under -the jurisdiction of the municipal
government.
b. Building sewer. The building sewer (sewer lateral) is the
pipe which connects a building or house to the collector
sewer or sewer main. It is usually four (4) inches in
diameter. The building sewer is owned and maintained by
the property owner from his/her residence or building to
the public right-of-way (street or sewer).
c. Collector sewer. The collector sewer is the pipe which
receives wastewater from one or more building sewers. The
minimum diameter of new collector sewers is eight (8)
inches. Collector sewers generally discharge into sewer
mains, but may discharge into interceptor sewers.
d. Eligible refund. That portion of the project cost qualified
for reimbursement to the petitioner according to the
stipulations in this policy.
e. Extension. Any water main or sewer line segment required
to connect a water or sewer service(s) to a large water main
or collection sewer or sewer lateral.
f. Interceptor sewer. The interceptor sewer is the pipe which
receives wastewater from the sewer mains and collectors
and conveys it to the wastewater treatment plant or to
another interceptor sewer.
g. Oversized mains. A main extension that, because of future
demands or other reasons, is larger than required for
servicing the immediate adjacent property. Oversized
mains are those greater than eight (8) inches in diameter.
Commercial or industrial developments will be considered
on a case -by -case basis, based upon demand and
availability of service.
h. Pumping station. A pumping station (lift station) is the
sewer appurtenance which pumps wastewater from a sewer
line of lower elevation to a sewer line of higher elevation.
i. Sewer collection main. A sanitary sewer main with the
primary purpose of collecting flow from the customer
service line and transporting it to an outfall line.
j . Sewer line. May refer to a collector, main or interceptor
sewer.
W

k. Sewer outfall main. A sanitary sewer main with the
primary purpose of receiving flow from the collection mains
and transporting it to an interceptor main or pump station
for the transmission to a treatment facility.
1. Sewer tap. The connection of a building sewer or service
line to a sewer line.
m. Tap/availability fee. -An established fee for connection to
an existing water distribution or sewer collection system.
The purpose of the fee is to defray, in part, the cost of
extending water and/or sewer infrastructure and the
related cost of maintaining and expanding treatment
capacity to accommodate the demand for service.
n. Water distribution main. A water main, six (6) to eight (8)
inches in diameter, with the primary purpose of supplying
water to customers.
o. Water line. May refer to a water line which transmits water
to users and connects to the individual water meters.
p. Water transmission main. A water main with a diameter
greater than eight (8) inches, with the primary purpose of
transporting water from a point of origin to a point of need.
q. Water tap. The connection of a water service to a water
main or water line.
III. General Polic
It shall be the policy of the Town of Franklin to extend, or to allow others
to extend, the water and sewer systems according to the terms and
conditions of this policy. Extension of water and sewer infrastructure
and service may be accomplished at the town's initiative or, with the
town's consent, by allowing others to extend such facilities and services.
When other parties are involved in such extensions, the town will be
guided by this policy.
1 Extension Within Municipal Limits
It is the policy of the Town of Franklin to provide water and sewer service
availability to all in -town water users to the extent funding is available.
New customers requesting sewer service must also have water service
when it is available from the town. Customers who are already receiving
sewer service but do not have water service may be required by the town
to have sewer flow meters and vaults in order to measure usage.
3

2. Extension of Water and. Sewer Service Beyond Municipal Limits
No water or sewer shall be provided to any property outside the
municipal limits of the town and no subdivision plat shall be recorded for
any property outside the municipal limits for which water and sewer will
be provided except upon compliance with one of the following provisions:
a. If the property is contiguous to the municipal limits of the town or
if it is not contiguous but meets the requirements of satellite
annexation (G.S. 160A-58 through G.S. 160A-58.6), prior to
receiving sewer or recording a subdivision plat, the property
owners shall irrevocably petition for annexation of said property
into the municipal limits of the town. Subsequent action shall be
at the discretion of the town board of aldermen.
b. If the property is not contiguous to the municipal limits of the
town and satellite annexation cannot be accomplished, or it is not
approved by the town board of aldermen, the property owners shall
enter into a binding written agreement with the town for. the
annexation thereof at such future date as said property shall be
contiguous to the municipal limits of the town or meets the
requirements of a satellite annexation, and is approved by the
town board of aldermen.
Any property petitioning for annexation will be considered "outside" and
therefore will pay a fee based on that status. Any property meeting the
requirements set forth in section (a) or (b) above shall be granted the
prevailing "inside" water and sewer rate on or after the effective date of
that parcel's annexation. Exceptions to these stipulations are as follows:
a. Property more than three (3) miles from any municipal limit of the
town or from any boundaries which are deemed for any purpose to
be the municipal limits of the town is not eligible for "inside" rates.
b. Property within another municipality or covered by an annexation
agreement with another municipality is not eligible for "inside"
rates.
3. Options for Accomplishing Water and Sewer Service Extensions
The town recognizes certain options by which to accomplish extensions
of water and sewer services. The determination as to which option
described below is most appropriate shall be at the sole discretion of the
town.
M

a. Any petitioner having need. for the extension of water and/or sewer
service shall petition the town for such extension(s). The town
board of aldermen, in response to a request for an extension of
service, may elect to address such requests in one of the following
ways:
1. Require the petitioner to install the extension to meet all
town requirements, at his/her expense, and dedicate the
improvements to the town for operation and maintenance.
2. Deny the requested utility extension.
3. Require the installation of a master meter at the end of town
services. The water system must meet all town regulations,
but the town will not take ownership or responsibility of the
water and sewer system. Water and sewer systems must be
operated in accordance with North Carolina General
Statutes.
b. Any municipality or public water system owner having need of
interconnection to the town's system or to other public water or
sewer systems shall petition the town for such interconnection.
Such extensions of infrastructure shall be accomplished without
cost to the town.
c. The Town of Franklin Board of Aldermen may authorize the
extension of water or sanitary sewer facilities on its own volition
without receipt of a petition from developers or abutting property
owners. The town may collect tap/availability fees from those who
connect to the system. The board may, at its own discretion, make
improvements to the town's water or sewer systems in order to
remedy inadequacies in the existing system, to address public
health issues, or to extend service as it deems appropriate.
d. The town will not allow the extension of sewer service where water
service is not also extended or available.
4. Petitioner Financed Extensions.
a. The full cost of facilities required within private developments,
including all connections, taps, fire hydrants, loops necessary for
fire protection and services to all lots within the property, shall
be borne by the petitioner. Petitioners requesting service shall
also pay the appropriate fees as set forth in this policy. See
5

Attachment A for a tap fee schedule and Attachment B for an
availability fee schedule.
b. Petitioners will be required to pay the cost of extensions from
existing town facilities, except in instances where the town
determines that such extensions, in part or in total, are the
responsibility of the town.
C. Installation of water and sewer extensions shall be accomplished
by the petitioner with a requirement that all projects will have to
be completed by a licensed North Carolina General Contractor
that is acceptable to and approved by the town, unless special
approval is obtained from the town.
d. If a proposed extension will connect to an existing line which, in
the opinion of the town, requires rehabilitation or replacement
with larger diameter pipe to provide adequate capacity, the
petitioner may be responsible for all or part of the rehabilitation
or replacement costs, as determined by the town.
e. The town may elect to increase the size of certain lines or
facilities that are constructed by the petitioner. If the town
chooses to require mains that are larger than those necessary to
serve the project and are so located to serve other properties, the
town may reimburse the petitioner for any additional costs
incurred as a result of installing such oversized mains. In such
instances, the town may elect to contribute to the difference in
the cost of the larger line(s) or facilities.
f. Prior to construction, the petitioner shall present evidence of
having obtained state approval of the project plans and
construction documents.
5. Joint Financing of Water and Sewer Extensions
a. Availability of funds. Approval of any extension(s) involving
financial participation by the town shall always be based on the
service provider's determination that funds are available for such
extension(s).
b. Priority economic development projects. The town may elect to
provide timely water and sewer service for significant economic
development projects which would generate substantial new
manufacturing or commercial employment and new tax base.
W

c. Endangerment of public health. The town may determine that
significant public health risks can be eliminated or avoided by its
participation.
d. Planned utility improvements. The town may determine that
certain investments are strategic to the development of its water
and sewer program and therefore justify its financial participation.
e. General rule of participation.

AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.6A, I,
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ),
make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Macon County is a municipality organized and existing under the
laws of the State of North Carolina.
Macon County owns and operates a wastewater collection system
including �-wastewataer-pump stations - sery nct `LBJ Jab Coups n_Ma_UA
C. Macon County was issued Non -Discharge Permit Permit No �WQ:G,1'7'928
on t$ePt;em�es_�26, 2003 effective on the same date.
D. On September 3, 2003, an undetermined quantity of untreated
wastewater was discharged from the pump station located within the
LBJ Job Corps facility to �WayahyC-ree'), Class WS III - Tr waters of
the State.
E. Macon County had no valid permit for the above described
discharge.
F. Said permit contains the following relevant reporting requirements
in Condition 10.
Non -Compliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Asheville Regional
Office, telephone number 828/251-6208, as soon as possible, but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following
the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of
the following:
A. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons,

that renders the facility incapable of adequate wastewater
transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, line blockage or breakage, etc.; or
B. Any failure of a sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly
to receiving waters without treatment of all.or any portion
of the influent to such station or facility.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a
written report in letter form within five (5) days following first
knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions
taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not
recur.
G. On September 3, 2003, Macon County discharged an undetermined
amount of untreated wastewater from its pump station located on
the LJB Job Corps site. Macon County did not report by telephone
within 24 hours of the bypass to the Division of Water Quality nor
was a written report submitted within five (5) days.
H. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this
matter totaled $ 185.00.
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Macon County is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A
pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).
B. Wayah Creek constitutes class WS III - Tr waters of the State
within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1) pursuant to G.S. 143-
212 (6) .
C. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters
of the State for purposes of G. S. 143-215. 1 (a) (1) , for which a
permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1
D. Macon County holds Non -Discharge Permit No. WQ0017928 which is
required by G.S. 143-215.1. to collect wastewater and make it
tributary to the Town of Franklin's collection system.
E. Macon County holds Non -Discharge Permit No. WQ0017928 which is
required by G.S. 143-215.1. The Non -Discharge Permit requires the
facility to properly report in Permit Condition 10.
F. Macon County may be assessed civil penalties in this matter
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil
penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars per
violation may be assessed against a person who is required but
fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-
215.1. Macon County may be assessed civil penalties in this
matter pursuant to it's Non -Discharge Permit Number WQ0017928,
which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five

thousand dollars assessed against a person who fails to comply
with the condition to properly operate and maintain the facility
according to the issued permit.
G. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed
against the Town of Rutherfordton pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9)
and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
H. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation
provided for by G.S. 143-215.6A(h), has the authority to assess
civil penalties in this matter.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the
following:
III. DECISION:

within five (5) days as required by General
Statues 143-215.65, Non -Discharge Permit
No. WQ0017928 and T15A: NCAC 02B .0506 (3).
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 185.00 Enforcement costs
$ TOTAL AMOUNT DUE

As required by G.S: 143-215.6A(c), in determiiil,ig the amount of
the penalty I have considered the factors listed in

State, to the public health, or to private property resulting
from 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 non-compliance;
(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.

RE. Notice of Violation
Permit # WQ0017928
Mr. Barnett
1 have passed the aforementidned notice of violation to the. Town of Franklin, which
has already taken the measures noted. The problem, appears Ito be intemal to the
LBJ collectidn system as the flows recorded in the metering station at LBJ show
much higher flows than the engineer design con ' This, in turn, appears'to be
the result of LBJ having some storm ter7rnas tied into(heir internal wastewater,
collection system. McGill Engines ' g has been trying to d r the problem up.

Permit Number: WQ0017928
Macon County
On September 4, 2003, Mr. Kevin Barnett of my staff discovered evidence of a discharge of wastewater from
a pump station located at the LBJ Job Corps facility. This primp station was permitted to Macon County on
September 26, 2000 as part of state issued Permit Number: WQ0017928. The existing evidence at the site
showed that the wastewater spilled entered an unnained tributary of Wayah Creek. A review of both, the
Division of Water Quality's records and the State Emergency Response Center's records failed to reveal a
report of any sewage spill in the area during 2003.
The following must occur within 5 days of receipt of this letter.
1. Any solids left at the spill site Faust be removed and disposed of in an approved manner- ( ie: shoveled into
a waste receptacle and further disposed of at a peunitted land fill.)
2. The site must be limed (with ag. lime) to limit the potential health threat of the spread of pathogens.
3. A 24 hour, 7 day a week emergency convict name and phone number must be posted at the site
Should you wish to provide any reason or mitigating circumstances for the cause of this discharge of waste to
surface waters of the state, or for the failure to report to spill as required by 15A NCAC 02B .0506(a)(2), you
must do so within 10 calendar days of receipt of this letter. Any response you provide will be given
consideration in preparation of any further en'Forcement documents.
