If in the future your company wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, they
must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Subject: ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION OF THE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
Cashiers Valley Trout Farm
NPDES Permit No. NCO081183
T authylym,4 Coggty; RV 95-13
Dear Mr. Eason:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject facility in the amount of
$250.00.
This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the subject permit was not
received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180 days prior to the expiration date
contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is contained in your permit and/or North
Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 143-215.1(c).
Based upon the above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject facility violated or failed
to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than
$10,000.00 per day, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person
who fails to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-
215.1.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess the subject facility a civil
penalty in the amount of$250.00 for violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(c),pursuant to delegation
provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action,including an additional penalty.

Within thirty (30)days of receipt of this notice, you may:
1. Submit verification that the hermit is no longer needed:
If the permit is no longer needed and no wastewater will be
treated by the permitted facility, please complete the
attached request for permit rescission. Upon verification
of this fact by our regional staff, the permit and the civil
penalty assessment will be rescinded; OR
2. Submit verification that the wastewater treatment system was
transferred to another responsible paM l2rior to expiration
of the permit:
If the wastewater treatment system was sold or otherwise
transferred to another responsible party prior to the
expiration date of the permit, please complete the attached
certification. Upon verification of this fact by our
regional staff, the civil penalty assessment will be
rescinded; OR
3. Submit moment of the penalty:
Payment should be made to the order of the Department of
Environment, Health,and Natural Resources (do not enclose
waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
further enforcement action for any continuing or new
violation(s); OR
4. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation
including a detailed Justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to
consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in this
assessment letter. Because a remission request foreclosures
the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must
be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual issues in dispute. You must execute and return the
attached waiver and stipulation form to this office with a
detailed statement which you believe establishes that:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in
G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the
detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental
damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an
accident;
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for
any previous violations; and/or
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for
the remaining necessary remedial actions.
OR

5. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing_
If you wish to contest this civil penalty assessment letter,
you must request an administrative hearing. This request
"1 must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh,North Carolina 27611-7447. A
copy of the petition must be served on:
General Counsel
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
If options 1, 2, 3, or 4 are chosen, please send your payment or response to the following address:
Mr. Robert Farmer
Department of Environment,Health and Natural Resources
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp (not a
postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the
Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty.
} If it is not demonstrated to us that your conduct of the permitted activity has ceased or will cease by
the permit expiration date, failure to apply for a permit extension within 30 days of receipt of this letter will
result in the assessment of additional penalties. If the permit expired or expires prior to the permit
reissuance, the permittee will be subject to additional penalties for the operation of a wastewater treatment
facility without a permit.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Robert Farmer at 91gn33-5083,
ext. 531.

BEING PERMITTED BY THIS DIVISION AT THIS TIME AND HAS NOT BEEN CONSTRUCTED. IT
PLANNED TO ONLY USE THE GROUNG ABSORPOTION SYSTEM UNTIL THE 'DISCHARGING
SYSTEM CAN BE APPROVED.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THE THE APPLICANT BE ADVISED TO RESUBMIT APPLICATIONS
FOR THE ULTIMATE DESIGN FLOW OF THE SYSTEM, ESTIMATED AT 3 , 000 GPD. THE
WASTELOAD ALLOCATION SHOULD BE EVALUATED AT 3, 000 GPD. THE PROPOSED PERMIT

Dear Ms. Harris:
After considerable discussion with the applicant on the
above referenced project, it appears that a revision must be
requested in order to meet their needs.
First, the anticipated discharge must be increased from
1,000 gpd to 3, 500 gpd. Secondly, due to the increased
discharge, the proposed treatment facility will now have to be a
small package type wastewater treatment plant.
Please note these changes in the application and that you
can expect a fully revised a plication package within the next
few days.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
for
GOURMET MOUNTAIN TROUT
of
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, INC.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Mr. Hubert Brown, President of Gourmet Mountain Trout of
WNC, Inc. , owns a tract of land in Transylvania County on which
he operates and maintains a trout farm. It is proposed to
construct on this site a plant for processing the fish for
ultimate sale to the consumer.
There is an existing septic tank/ground absorption system
which can serve the facility in the first phase of the
development, however, projected growth of the business will
overload the system. Due to limitations on available land
suitable for a ground absorption system, it is proposed to
install a discharging wastewater treatment system.
PROPOSED TREATMENT WORKS
Under the proposed development plan, it is proposed to
abandon the existing ground absorption drainfield and install a
buried subsurface sand filter.
The proposed discharge is estimated as follows:
Domestic wastewater ( 12 employees) 300 GPD
Fish Process Water 700 GPD
1,000 GPD
POTENTIAL IMPACT UPON THE RECEIVING STREAM
The proposed discharge quantity is very small due to
equipment that requires little if any process water. The small
discharge should have no adverse affect upon the receiving
stream.
PROJECT LOCATION MAP
The attached project location map and application form were
prepared by William G. Lapsley, P.E. , of Hendersonville, N.C. ,
with the full knowledge and approval of the applicant.

RE: Gourmet Mountain Trout of WNC, Inc.
Transylvania County
Dear Ms. Harris:
Reference is made to our recent telephone conversation
concerning the NPDES Permit application for the subject project.
This is to advise you that we have investigated several
wastewater treatment alternatives for this project. At the site
there is very limited area for a septic tank/ground absorption
system. In addition, soil conditions and adjacent stream and well
water supply restrict development of the new facility. There are
no public or private wastewater treatment systems in the area and
a package type treatment facility would not be economical due to
the small discharge.
The choices appear to be a subsurface sand filter discharge
as proposed or a pump to drainfield system.
We believe that the proposed subsurface sand filter is the
most environmentally sound alternative selected from the
reasonably cost effective options.
Should you have any questions or need additional informa-
tion, please feel free to ca n our office.
