Certificate of Coverage NCG550162 General Permit NCG550000 Formerly NPDES Permit NC0048585 Macon County Dear Permittee: The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C.21-1 .0127 allows the Division to evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore,the Division is hereby issuing the subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no.NCG550000 which shall void NPDES Permit NC0048585. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently amended. If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to you,you have the right to submit an individual permit application,associated processing fee and letter requesting coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made,this decision shall be final and binding. Please take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II,E.4.addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action,including those as may be required by this Division,such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division. Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may subject the Permfttee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division unless specifically requested,however,the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least three (3) years.

Tweed ------- Arthur E. Gamache rn SHEC EI qE�� 239 Buck Creek Lane Highlands, NC 28741 JUL ` 5 2011 970-903.0974 buckmaryciamache@aol.com June 30, 2016 wA+®r 01114V lRe9�ona��7Gerat��s To Whom It May Concern, On May 6, 2016, Beverly Price and Tim Heim conducted an inspection of our single family residence water treatment system at 239 Buck Creek Lane, Highlands, NC 28741. This inspection was conducted to verify that this facility is operating properly. The system was found to be operating in good condition. I received a report on June 9, 2016, that a deficiency was found. This deficiency stated that no samples have been collected from the discharge of the effluent pipe. This system was installed March 3, 1985. It was completed and approved by North Carolina Environmental Management Commission on April 10, 1985. Permit Number NC0048585AC After receiving Ms. Price's report, I researched the past permits and sampling of the discharge was not required until 1997. No former inspectors informed me that this was a requirement or that I was in violation until I received this report. For 31 years there has never been a visible discharge from the pipe into the creek. I reported to previous inspectors and Ms. Price that for the first 20 years it was a vacation home and the house was not occupied for more than one month a year and those weeks were not consecutive. In the past when the septic was pumped out it has always been not more than half full. The septic tank company told me that we don't even use the sand filter. It has basically been a holding tank due to the limited time we spent there and evaporation. From 2005 until now, this has been the primary residence for my wife and me. However, our time is split between our home on Buck Creek, traveling and spending the winters in Colorado. We spend no more than 7 months a year at the Buck Creek house and those months are not consecutive. The only way to obtain a sample would be to put a hose in the septic tank and run 600+ gallons of water until the distribution box is full and the sand filter is saturated enough to discharge from the pipe. If needed, I am agreeable to do this, however, it would create a sample that is inaccurate. After speaking to Ms. Price on the phone, she said that your department did not want me to flood the septic tank and the sand filter. I feel that since for first twelve years sampling was not required that our system should have been grandfathered in under the original permit requirements that were approved by the state of North Carolina, which did not require sampling. The location of the discharge pipe was not designed for easy access to obtain samples. It is located on steep terrain and is not easily accessed for sampling, as Ms. Price can verify. After checking my records I could not find a copy from the most recent septic tank pumping which was approximately two years ago. In the future I will keep those records on site and available. If you have any questions, you may reach me at 970-903-0974. Please correct the address on the Water Compliance Inspection Report that you sent. We have not have a residence in Florida since 5 The address should be 239 Buck Creek Lane, i�hhand C 28741.

Sarasota FL 33582 Subject: Certified Operator Requirements Single Family Treatment Systems NPDES Permit No. NCG550162 Macon County Dear Mr.Gamache: During February of this year,public hearings were held on proposed changes to modify the operator certification rules. The proposed rules included a requirement that single-family discharge.systems would be classified wastewater treatment facilities,which would require an annual inspection by a certified operator. The intent of the rule was to insure that the systems are being properly operated and maintained. During the public comment period, a significant amount of comments, statements and additional information was submitted. As a result, the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission amended the proposed rules. The rule, as adopted and effective July 1, 1993, now requires single-family discharging systems to be classified only if they are permitted after July 1, 1993 or if upon inspection by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) it is found that the system is not being adequately operated and maintained. Systems can be inspected by DEM during routine compliance inspections, permit renewals, or complaint investigations. Once a system is classified, it will be required to have at a minimum, an annual inspection by a certified operator. It is important to remember that the NPDES permit is part of a Federal program administered by the State of North Carolina and that violations of the permit are enforceable by Federal and State laws. Although your system will not be required to have a certified operator at this time,proper operation and maintenance is needed for the system to function satisfactorily. In as much as each system must be individually designed and sited, special maintenance requirements may apply to a specific installation. The attached maintenance schedule should however be applicable to most systems. The frequencies suggested are considered to be the minimum necessary. More frequent attention may be needed for a specific system and may be required by conditions of the permit. P.O.

If proper maintenance is not given to the system, it will fail and will result in major expenses for repairs. We would strongly encourage you to take the necessary action to insure that your system is operating properly.

N00048585 MACON COUNTY Dear Permittee: The subject permit issued on 1/16/91 expires on 11/30/92. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215. 1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal. If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215. 1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300 00• larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15 NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a) . Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request . received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee.

The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal. The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990 (attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved. The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate fee should be sent to: Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.
