Page 4 of 16 Pages General Permit NCG550000 PART II 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 summation 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 Day 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 Ouarter 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 of 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 hour 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 (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. Page 5 of 16 Pages _qq4 4 General Permit NCG560000 ➢ 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 permit. 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). DWQ 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. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit 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 mL 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). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Page 6 of 16 Pages General Permit NCG550000 Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe .propqM damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B.

'-,-0 /0 evaluated the above -referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your Improvement Permit application. According to your application the site is'fo serve'a with 'a "design wastewater flow of 360 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute 130A-333 and related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rule 1900 and related rules. Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an Improvement Permit is DENIED. A copy of the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following: Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule .1940) Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941) Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942) Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943) Presence of restrictive horizon (Rule .1944) ✓ Insuffcient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1945) Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950) Other (Rule.1946) These severe soil or site limitation could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge of untreated sewage on the ground surface, in surface waters, directly into ground water or inside your structure. The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative or alternative systems. However, the Health Department has determined that none of the above options will overcome the severe condition on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off -site to additional property. For the reasons set out above, the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE, and an Improvement Permit shall not be issued for this site in accordance with Rule . 1948 (c). However, the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948 (d). A copy of this http://pni/pni/EGov.controller?actionType--denial&LetterPermitNum=10070103354 5/21/2010 Permits & Inspections Page 2 of 3 rule is enclosed.

At your request, I have conducted a preliminary soils investigation within a single property located on Butler Bridge Road, Henderson County, North Carolina. Soil characteristics were evaluated using pit evaluations on 26 May 2010. This letter serves as the deliverable for this project. The lot was evaluated for five criteria to determine suitability to support an on -site wastewater disposal system: • Topography and landscape position • Soil characteristics • Soil wetness • Soil depth, and • Restrictive horizons Available space was estimated as part of this evaluation, but detailed measurements (line layouts) were not made. It is my understanding the site was previously reviewed by Henderson County Personnel on 18 May 2010. The soil boring information found in the field was not verified as part of this investigation, but was used to help determine pit locations. A stream channel and shallow soils within this lot limit the space available for a subsurface disposal system. The unusable portions of this area are either too close to the stream channel and roads, located in a depression area, or are too shallow for use. Soils in the usable portion of this area are generally shallow (18-24 inches below ground surface to saprolite) with slopes ranging from 5-10%. A review of saprolite conditions within the pits indicates low chroma colors are present, but appear to be paralithic in nature, rather than wetness induced. There is evidence of preferential flow within the saprolite layers. Given the limited space available, as well as the varying usable soil depths, this area is likely best suited for an ultra -shallow innovative system, such as a sub -surface drip system. Based on site measurements, approximately 5,500 square feet of usable area is present within this area. I have attached the pit descriptions and preliminary site drawing. The findings denoted represent the field conditions observed during the field review. Any disturbance to these areas subsequent to the review period may render these findings null and void. Please note, the local Department of Environmental Health has final authority to determine suitability and system type for any given lot. These findings are not a guarantee that permits will be issued for this area,,;-Miional work may be necessary before any permits can be applied for or issued.

The proposed SFR lots are located several miles outside of the Town of Mills River on Butler Bridge Road in Henderson County, NC. The closest regional sewer available for connection is located greater than two miles from the proposed site. In order for the current property owners to be able to tie onto this sewer, right of way acquisition from NCDOT and/or easements from numerous properly owners would be required. A sewer line from these residences alone to a regional sewer connection would require crossing Highway 280, a four lane divided highway. We suspect that the line would be required by the local sewer authority to serve additional residences and businesses that would lie along this line, therefore, requiring an upsize in the sewer line size before connection. Preliminary cost estimates of planning, surveying, design and construction are in excess of $150,000 for the sewer line alone. Cost evaluation for the pump station, pumps, controls were not taken into account for the preliminary estimate. The current property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Pinner have approached all surrounding property owners about using a portion of their property for an onsite septic system disposal easement, all of whom have denied their request. At this time, an attempt to connect to a regional sewer or other means of sewage disposal is economically unfeasible. We have urged our client that if or when regional sewer becomes available, they shall abandon the current means of sewage disposal and utilize an alternative method.

Low -flow characteristics were previously determined for several nearby locations in the McDowell Creek basin in 1986. No USGS records of discharge are known to exist for your point of interest or other locations in the McDowell Creek basin. Where no or insufficient data is available for a low -flow analysis, a determination of low -flow characteristics is based on assessment of low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, or cfsm) at nearby locations where such statistics have previously been determined. The low -flow characteristics that are provided have been computed by correlating the runoff characteristics of a nearby stream in vicinity of the request site. Please note the flow estimates do not account for the presence of any diversions or regulation, present or future, which may occur upstream of the request site. Previously published low -flow information for streams in your area of interest... For streams in Henderson County, the most recently published low -flow information is a statewide report completed in the early 1990's. It is USGS Water -Supply Paper 2403, 'Low -flow characteristics of streams in North Carolina" (Giese and Mason, 1993). An online version of the report is available through http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/wsp/wsp2403. The report provides the low -flow characteristics (based on data through 1988) via regional relations and at -site values for sites with drainage basins between 1 and 400 sgmi and not considered or known to be affected by regulation and/or diversion: Adffo►aT# 6 If you access the report, please note the online report files are provided in the ".DJVU" format and require a particular , Lizardtech plug-in, also available through a link displayed on the page. Or you can click an adjacent link that will allow you to view the report as a group of images without the need for a plug-in. Several pieces of information to consider... (1) A drainage area of 0.10 sgmi was determined for your point of interest on the unnamed tributary to McDowell Creek above Secondary Road 1351 near Mills River. (2) In Table 1 of the above referenced report, there are several nearby partial -record sites and continuous -record gaging stations in vicinity of your point of interest for which low -flow discharge estimates are provided. Expressing these estimates as low -flow yields (again, flow per square mile of drainage area, or cfsm) provides some indication of the yield ranges that could potentially be applicable to your point of interest. The 7Q10 low -flow yield range is from about 0.17 to 0.49 cfsm (with an average of about 0.38 cfsm). The 30Q2 low -flow yield range is from about 0.39 to about 0.95 cfsm (with an average of about 0.75 cfsm). (3) The regional low -flow relations presented in the above referenced report for this hydrologic area (HA10) do not apply to drainage areas less than 0.5 sgmi. Use of the relations for this small drainage represents an extrapolation beyond the range in drainage area for which the statistical analyses were completed. (4) Mean annual runoff for streams in this area is mapped in the above referenced report as being 1.5 to 2.0 cfsm. (5) Considering the above information, please be aware of the following: The data provided in the above referenced report are based on periods of record ending in advance of the drought conditions that have occurred since publication of the report. In some North Carolina basins, the low -flow conditions observed during the recent droughts (1998-2002, 2007-09) have resulted in lower low -flow statistics. No formal statewide investigation has been completed to document the changes in low -flow statistics since the droughts. However, where updated analyses have been completed for selected stations, the changes in pre -drought versus updated 7Q10 discharges have shown varying percentage changes of decline. For instance, at the nearby long-term gaging station on Mills River near Mills River (station id 03446000, drainage area 66.7 sgmi, continuous records October 1933), the 7Q10 declined about 7 percent between the 1998 and 2009 climatic years. Based on analysis of available period of record through the 2009 climatic year, the 7Q10 and 30Q2 low -flow estimates have yield values of about 0.43 cfsm and 0.91 cfsm, respectively. Note: The climatic year is the standard annual period used for low -flow analyses at continuous -record gaging stations. It runs from April 1 through March 31 and is designated by the year in which the period begins. For example, the 2009 climatic year is from April 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010. Putting together the above pieces of information... Applying the above low -flow yields (in item #2) to a drainage area of 4.34 sgmi results in 7Q10 flow estimates ranging from 0.02 to 0.05 cfs (average about 0.04 cfs). Similarly, 30Q2 flow estimates range from about 0.04 to 0.10 cfs (average about 0.08 cfs). Applying the yield for mean annual runoff (item #4) to the drainage area results in an estimated average discharge at about 0.2 cfs. A charge of $250.00 for accessing and processing information has been assessed to partially offset these costs. An electronic invoice covering processing costs for these data is attached to this email as a .PDF file. Instructions for sending your payment are shown on the invoice. This information is considered preliminary and subject to revision pending further analysis as further data were to become available, and is made available through our cooperative program of water -resources investigations with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

' State: normally open or normally closed The default state of a float -normally open or normally closed - refers to the contact positions in the float when the float is resting (down). Float switches have an internal contact The terms "normally open" (N/0) and "normally closed" (N/C) refer to the state of the float switch contact in the down position. A normally open float'switch has an open contact (off) in the down position and a normally closed float switch has a closed contact (on) in the down position. Different panel functions require different types of float switches. Most applications require float switches that are normally open. One notable exception is the redundant off and low-level alarm function that requires a normally closed float switch, except with MVP and VCOM panels. " Drawdown Drawdown (in inches) refers to the difference in liquid level between a float switch's activation and deactivation points. Drawdown can be altered by adjusting the tether length of the float switch cord. When selecting float switches, keep in mind that any float switch that can directly start and stop a pump (one that has no motor contactor in the control panel) should have a drawdown capability, to avoid rapid cycling of the pump. 5 Signal -rated or motor -rated Every float has a maximum amount of current it can handle. Exceeding these limits may cause premature failure. Signal -rated or "control" Z Type floats are used to activate pump control panels and alarms. Only low Floats have mechanical or mercury contactor types. The important dis- amperage signals pass through these float switches, hence the float ter. switch is "signal -rated." All Orence panels that use motor contactors waon between these is that mercury floats are not rated for potable can use signal -rated float switches. In some systems, a float switch is wateused to directly start and stop a pump. In this application, the current 31R (intrinsically safe relay) that is running the pump passes through the float switch as well, and Approved for use with intrinsically safe, Class I, Division 1 applications, the float switch must be "motor -rated." In most instances, a motor - where reliable float switch operation with very low current is required. rated float switch can be used as a signal float switch. © 2006 Orenco Systems® Inc.

They come in the following configurations: • High head, for use with submersible turbine pumps • Low head, for use with common effluent pumps • Drainback, for use with shallowly buried tanks and transport lines in cold climates Two additional applications are available: • The cold weather kit coupled with a high -head discharge assembly is intended for use with deeply buried tanks and transport lines in cold weather • The external flex extension is recommended for installations where tank settling may occur to avoid line breakage during settling. High head style shown with optional quick -disconnect General Orenco Discharge Assemblies are corrosion -resistant and adjustable for a proper fit. Discharge assemblies are com- posed of PVC valves and flexible hose that simplify installation and maintenance. The flexible hose damps vibrations from the pump and allows for easy installation.

When the buoy is fully seated, approximately 20% is discharged, or Oa=(0.2) Onsv. Therefore, %=(0.2)(52)=10.4 gpm h=operating head above overflow level. The value of h is limited by available fall from RSF underdrain and maximum depth of bury of the tank. According to chart 1, with a discharge rate (On) of 10.4 gpm, h=34" for the RSV2U, 12'forthe RSV3U, or 4' forthe RSV4U. For our example, we will selectthe RSV3U. Therefore, our h will be 12" t=stinger depth from overflow level to seating level. The maximum value oft is equal to the total operating water column minus the operating head (t=operating water column-h see chart 2). The stinger seat is generally positioned at about 80% of the tanks depth, but may be set between 90% and 70% depending on site and design constraints. t occurs where the buoy is fully submerged. (y=0) If t<t , the buoy may seat fully before becoming completely submerged. In this case the liquid depth will be lowerthan the stinger seat by the value y. Use chart2to find V. y--surge depth between stinger seat level and liquid level y--buoy diameter- buoy submergence For our 10,000 gpd example, if t=50" and h=12', then (t+h) = 62".

Coupled with the VeriComm web -based Monitoring System; these affordable control panels give water/wastewater system operators and maintenance organizations the ability to monitor and control each individual system's operation remotely, with real-time efficiency, while remaining invisible to the homeowner. VeriComm AXB panels allow remote operators to change system parameters, including timer settings, from the web interface. Typical AXB VeriComm Control Panel Standard Models. VCOMAXBI, VCOMAXB2 To Specify... To specify this panel for your installation, require the following, Basic Control Logic: Three Operating Modes • A "Start-up Mode" for the initial 30 days, during which the system collects trend data to establish operating standards for future reference. • A "Normal Mode" that manages day-to-day functions. • A "Test Mode" that suspends data collection and alarm reporting during installation and service. Data Collection and Utilization • Data logs of system conditions and events, such as pump run times, pump cycles, and alarm conditions. Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Logic • Troubleshooting capabilities that can report suspected failed components, which then trigger Alarms. Advanced Control Logic • Advanced control logic that activates during float malfunctions to diagnose the situation and keep the system operating normally until servicing. Communication and Alarm Management • Remote telemetry capabilities coupled with a web -based moni- toring application (see VeriComm Monitoring System, ATD- WEB-VCOM-1) for communication and alarm management. Updating of point values (including timer settings) and receipt of queued changes during each communication session with host. Communication sessions that occur monthly, at a minimum, and more frequently during alarm conditions. • Multiple methods of communication, as follows: Call -In to VeriComm Host — Automatic notification to host of "Alarms," which signal fault conditions that need to be addressed immediately (e.g., pump failure). — Automatic notification to host of "Alerts," which signal less critical fault conditions and which trigger the panel's troubleshooting logic and alternative operating mode (e.g., stuck float switch). — Automatic notification to host of "Updates," which include alarm updates or all -clear notifications following Alarms/Alerts, as well as normally scheduled monthly panel reports. — Manual, forced communication from panel to host to effect an updating of point values and receipt of queued changes. Real -Time Direct Connection to Panel — Manual, direct connection at the site via RS-232 serial port, to allow a local operator real-time access to detailed logged data and the ability to change point values from a laptop. — Manual, forced communication by local operator/homeowner at the site to initiate an auto -answer mode, allowing a remote operator real-time access to detailed logged data and the ability to change point values. During real-time, manual connections, software with open architecture (and password security) is used; no proprietary software is required. VT100 protocol allows access and control from any computer modem (Mac or PC) with a simple communi- cation program (e.g., Windows HyperTerminal); multilevel password protection in panel ensures that only qualified personnel can access the panel's data.

Attached areithe required documents for a NPDES wastewater system to serve a single 3 bedroom residence with a total design flow of 360 Gallons per Day (GPD). The Owner has currently sought a permit for an onsite wastewater using both subsurface and surface disposal options. Due to setbacks, soil depth, & limiting topography, the only other option was for a PSD into an unnamed tributary that traverses the property. This wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system is designed to consist of collection piping, septic tank with baffle and effluent filter, recirculation tank with a recirculating sand filter loaded at 5 gallons per day per square foot, UV disinfection and riprap cascade aeration. We are providing the following supporting documentation as requested for the NPDES for the above referenced project.

Yours truly, Piedmont Design Associates, P.A. r Donald L. Munday, PE N. C. Registration No. 17327 cc. Mr. & Mrs. Douglas Pinner, Owner SECTION I -.GENERAL Douglas & Sarah Pinner have been seeking a septic system permit to serve an individual residence in Mills River, Henderson County, NC. The Pinner's have been turned down by NCDENR OSWP Section and there is not enough available space with setbacks to have a land application (surface drip) type disposal system. Municipal sewer is not available (greater than 2 miles from site). The Pinner's only option is to seek a point source discharge into an unnamed tributary traversing the subject property. These plans and specifications are for a septic tank, recirculating sand filter filter & recirculation tank, UV disinfection to discharge over rip rap prior to entering the stream. Due to limited available space, soil conditions and limiting topography, a pre-treatment system and point source discharge is proposed. The design flow has been set at 360 gallons per day. The system is designed to accept, treat and dispose of domestic waste from these two residences only. No other discharge is allowed, including condensate water from HVAC systems, etc. The Engineer has designed a recirculating sand filter with UV disinfection system that dispenses treated effluent through above ground discharge into an unnamed tributary using design criteria intended to comply with NC DWQ rules and regulations and NC DEH Onsite Section Innovative Waste Water System for Recirculating Sand Filters. The installer shall be knowledgeable of the type of system to be installed, and shall have prior instruction on the installation of the various components of the system, and shall have the approval of the Design Engineer. Scope of the Project: The scope of this project is to construct a system to collect the domestic waste from the proposed residence and convey via gravity to a properly sized two -compartment septic tank. The outlet at the second compartment of the septic tank will have a slotted wastewater effluent filter. From the septic tank the effluent flows to a single compartment tank which will dose a recirculating sand filter, which provides an aerobic environment for bacteria. Effluent exits the sand filter and passes back to the recirculation tank or onto the UV disinfection unit depending upon flow volumes. Recirculation ratio shall be 4:1. Treated effluent will flow by gravity and discharge over riprap to aerate the effluent before entering the receiving stream. The sand filter dosing pump controls will have a 24-hour clock, programmable as determined by the operator. Controls shall also have elapsed run time clock and cycle counter for the pump. The controls shall also have manual operating capabilities and alarms. The controls are to be located at a readily accessible location located greater than 36 inches above finished grade. DIRECTIONS TO THE PROPERTY: From I-40 West from Statesville toward Asheville, travel south on I-26/Hwy 74 toward Hendersonville, take exit 40 and turn right onto Airport Road/Highway 280 West. Go approximately 2.7 miles and turn right on Butler Bridge Road. Subject property will be approximately 0.40 miles on the leftjust before curve. Subject property has paved road on south side with stream that runs through site. The residence is to be served by onsite water wells located more than 100 feet from any treatment and disposal components. There are no existing structures on site.

Some issues may not be of concern to the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors but I will describe them as further proof that all the construction issues are true. On 7 April 2010 I bought a house from Mr. Pinner and entered into a contract for him to move the house from Fletcher to a lot located in Mills River, NC. (Copy of Contract enclosed) Moving the house took him six months which was accomplished in September 2010. Issue # 1: In laying out the location of where the house would be placed on the lot, Mr. Pinner moved the site about forty feet down hill from where I wanted it. He said that this was because the North Caroline Department of Environment required the special sand filled septic system be fifty feet from the house. I found this to be untrue when I recently receivedi a copy of the permit. (Copy enclosed). He simply located the basement site down hill so it would be less digging for him. Seeing that I was upset because of the location, he quickly told me not to worry about the location because he would give me an easement across the small plot of ground north of the house and east of the creek for my drive way to reach my garage. (See yellow line on plat map enclosed) Locating the house where he did leaves me with only about ten feet from the end of the house to the plat line for a drive way and about ten feet clearance in the back of the house to turn and reach my garage. There is to be built a ten foot patio and porch on the rear of the house. (See photo # 1) This location at the bottom of the hill causes the back yard to be in a virtual flood plain. There is always water there and when it rains it floods the basement. After the house was set on the basement, Mr. Pinner said he could not and would not give me an easement across the lot because that would devalue the lot. He said that the ten feet at the end of the house was enough for my drive way. (It is not enough for a larger vehicle incase I need to haul something in or out.) Issue # 2: When I obtained a copy of the Septic System permit I learned several things about it that Mr. Pinner neglected to tell me. First the permit goes with the land and should be made part of the deed. The permit is only good for one year and has to be renewed I every year for the price now of $60.00. Like all things this price will go up in future years. When the property is sold the permit should be transferred to the new owner. Included in the system there is an Ultraviolet Disinfection unit requiring electric power and a life time of maintenance? The permit can be revoked at any time by the Department of Environment. The permit was not made part of the deed and has not been transferred to me. In order to get the permit approved, Mr. Pinner had to enlarge the size of the lot to accommodate the drainage line running to the creek. He had a survey done to reflect this but the new survey is not recorded with the Register of Deeds in Henderson County. (See old survey plat map enclosed) The survey was done to placate the Department of Environment to receive an approval for the permit. The septic system should have been put in before placing the house. $45,000.00 of the $200,000.00 is for the house and land with the septic system. That is what he is asking for the other lot he still owns with installed septic system. The remaining $155,000.00 is for the remodeling and construction. If I had known all this was part of what I was buying at the beginning I would not have bought. Mr. Pinner knows this, that is why he did not tell me, transfer the permit and make it part of the deed. Even so, I did not get everything I was paying for. It is like buying a new car without knowing there is no exhaust system. Issue # 3: When we were negotiating the purchase of the house and land, Mr. Pinner told me that it would take a couple of weeks to prepare the house and move it to the new location Then it would take about three months to build the basement and remodel the house. Having some experience in home construction myself, I thought this was reasonable. It was six months before Mr. Pinner even began to prepare the house for moving. During these six months he was trying to get an approved septic system. The ground did not perk so he had to apply for the special system through the Department of Environment. In June he had Piedmont Design Associates, PA design the plans for the required' septic system. He then sat back and waited for the design to be sent to the Department of Environment and for them to approve the permit. Only after I threatened to just walk off from the agreement at the end of August, did he go to Raleigh and usher in the permit. After the approval of the permit in September he started to work on the house. The house was not moved until the second week of November. The basement was not dug and the concrete slab pored and the house moved over the slab until after Thanksgiving. Block layers did not start work in building the walls until first of January. Only two walls were built where they would be back filled with seven feet of dirt. The other two walls were stick built with 2X6 lumber. All this time the basement floor was continuously covered with several inches of water. The house was not set down on the basement walls until the middle of February, ten months after starting the contract. He did not �omply with the contract in that "Work -to be continued until completed without delay with the exception of bad weather." He worked for other people on other jobs, took a week to go to Washington for a political meeting, trips to Raleigh for the same purpose, spent several weeks on vacation, and worked. on a rental property he owns. Even on days he worked on my house he rarely showed up for work until after nine o'clock and would leave- by' three PM. I honestly believe that there were days he would come to work, spit in the air,, call it rain and go home. i Issue # 4: After Mr. Pinner had Piedmont Design Associates, PA design the septic system he never paid them. At closing he signed a legal document that there were no outstanding bills against the house and that all contractors had been paid. This is fraud. I received, a copy of a letter from Piedmont.Design Associates, PA stating they are putting a lien against the house for this unpaid bill. (See copy.enclosed) Issue # 5: The block walls. Mr. Pinner had built were not to code. Even though there was to be more than seven feet of back fill he used eight inch block. The concrete columns that were pored were not all at forty-eight inches apart. I measured two that were six feet apart. Tlie rebar used was only four feet pieces stuck in the top to fool the inspector. The rebar did not go all the way to the floor and there were no holes drilled so they could be inserted into the footers. (See photos 2 and 3) A French drain was laid on the out side of the walls but they did not have drain pipes attached to drain the seepage water away from the house. The ends were just left dangling and got covered over when he backfilled. i I I When he backfilled; he did it all at once all the way to the top of the block. He left the little hill in front of the house so that there was a down hill grade of about fifty feet running 'toward the house. The block walls were only seven feet high, so he stick built a two foot knee wall on top of the block for the house to sit on. Even though he did use one inch tie bands to tie the block wall to the knee wall, he did not bolt or fasten the top of the knee wall to the bottom of the house. The house could not help support the basement wall. The rains came, all the water from the top of the house fell in front, all the water from the yard ran to the front of the house, it filled the loose dirt all the way to the French drain acting like a reservoir and eventually made mud even to the top of the block. The front wall completely caved in and the end wall cracked. (See photo # 4 for knee wall, spacing and crack, photo # 5 for missing front wall) Mr. Pinner says it was an act of God. He could be right, as an act of God to show Mr. Pinner's illegal and shoddy handiwork. I Issue # 6: The used support poles Mr. Pinner brought in with pipe welded to the bottoms so they, ould be tall enough to reach from the floor to the basement ceiling is not accord' fig to code. (See photo # 6) This is further evidence of his cutting corners, using used material, and substandard workmanship. These support poles now have to be replaced; with either 6X6 beams or certified metal support poles. Issue # 7: All the new plumbing that Mr. Pinner did has to be done again. The water line going to! the bath tub is the wrong size, there is no accommodation in the wash room area for a sink, and some of the drain pipe joints were not glued. The small second hand trailer shower stall (24" X 24") he brought in for the guest bathroom is totally unacceptable. Mr. Pinner did not know what he was doing in this area either. The drain pipes rufin ng from the sump pump was done three times, each time after a plumbing buddy came to look at his work and tried to tell him how to do it. They are still incorrectly done. Issue # 8: I can not tell if the new electric wiring is correct or not, but because Mr. Pinner was not ,licensed to do electrical, it all has to be done again. i Issue # 9: When Mr. Pinner found out that I was not going to let him rebuild the basement wall, he came to get his tools. He also took a lot of building materials that was brought for renovating the house and some of my personal property. Below is a list of those items he took: I . Tiles for bathroom walls. 2. Bull nose tiles for around the edges of bathroom walls. 3. Quick set for gluing the tiles. 4. Grout for the tile work. 5. Two bathroom sinks of etched glass. 6. gfixtures for the two sinks.. 7. Vanity for bathroom. This was broken and cheap and had to be returned to Lowes any way; however he should not have taken it to collect the money for himself. 8. A-Ibout 10 rolls of 6" X 15" insulation for 2X6 studs and floors. This insulation Wad gotten wet on the basement floor but could be dried out and used. I am sure I e plans to do just that with the next sucker he cons into building for. >onal Property: 9. 20' Extension ladder 10. Squeegee to push the water from the -basement floor. 11. t 5' X 8' trailer with box sides with a six foot chain and lock. (A new one runs about $1,500.00) I am sure that he returned the above materials (except the insulation) to Lowes for the mon y. I am also sure he was embarrassed when he tried to return the sinks to Lowes and .earned that they were not bought there but from a different store by my wife. Issue # 9: I am angry about Mr. Pinner conning me into buying his house and entering into a c �ntract for him to renovate the home into a modern twenty-first century home as an expej 'enced, honest, and licensed general contractor when he did not have the knowledge, experience or capability of a carpenter's helper. I am angry about Mr. Pinner not heecmg to anything I wanted in the house and him defiantly doing every thing his way because it was cheaper, easier, and quicker and not according to North Carolina building codes. What I see needs to be done. 1. The contract needs to be terminated. I am working with an attorney to ccomplish this now. 2. *r. Pinner needs to pay for all the damage he has done. Since everything he has done is not according to North'Carolina Building Codes, and that he did everything illegally not being .licensed for any craft at all, and everything he did as to be done all over again; Mr. Pinner should return all the money he has been aid for such work. 3. Since I bought the house and land in good faith and Mr. Pinner sold it to me under fraudulent conditions, I should be returned the $45,000.00 for the house and land. he last payment of $40,000.00 for remodeling the home should be voided since . Pinner can not finish the work legally. The lien against the house for that .40,000.00 should also be voided. I should not have to pay him for work he does not do and still have to pay someone else who does the work. 4. race Mr. Pinner positioned the house at the bottom of the hill and forcing me to ave a driveway too narrow for practical use, He should deed over to me the small clot of ground north of my lot where he at first promised to give me an easement f:)r a drive way. 5. . Pinner should pay for the septic system that was supposed to go with the land d should have been installed prior to placement of the house. 6. lYir. Pinner needs to. return everything he stole from me upon his departure. 7. I Mr. Pinner is not willing to submit to the above six items; then Mr. Pinner needs to be heavily fined and imprisoned for each offense of General i Construction, Plumbing, and Electrical. Also Mr. Pinner needs to be prosecuted for Grand Larceny and fraud. This con -artist should not be allowed to drive a nail for anyone again, ever. I I hope that the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, the Licensing Board for Plumbing and the Licensing Board for Electrical can help me in accomplishing justice for damage done to me.
