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.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual AVera_e
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 Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series 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
Version 1011012007

PDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 16
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent
samples shall be collected 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. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Dail, Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that 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.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. 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 Clean Water Act.
Version 10/10/2007

)ES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3of16
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
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, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limitl
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property 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.

Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
U set
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.

Regarding the subject permit, note the following comments entered into BIMS. Thanks.
called Sue Glenn 2/25/2015 regarding expired permit and overdue fees. Updated her contact phone number. She states
that majority of flow has been connected to Blowing Rock. Remaining on system are 6 condos, 2 lived in full time.
"Nothing going to creek and operating well". Will be switching to septic system, soil scientist survey complete and is
working with Walter Ferguson out of Asheville. In regard to backdue fees, Sue states she is unable to pay currently but
perhaps in 90 days. I indicated that we would take action unles some effort was made on her part to seek fee reduction
and a payment plan. GLD will call her back in 30 days to determine progress.

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from.the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/ Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)

the accuracy of aj _ f the factual statements contained in - ,ivil penalty
F
document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
ch a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
No permit- required Quarterly monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorus was done during the quarter for October through December 2013.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of labor, sampling and lab
testing for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been no civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Blackberry Sewer System
Permit No: NCO055611
Caldwell County
Dear Ms. Glenn:
On October 30, 2013, I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject facility. The facility
appeared to be marginally compliant with permit NCO055611. There are areas that need to be improved upon
regarding this facility to gain and maintain compliance with the permit. These items relate to maintenance,
backup power and previous enforcement actions. However, the facility appears to be currently functioning
within the permitted effluent limits, in large part due to the lack of flows and the operator's management of an
aged system.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff
have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Linda Wiggs

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Unpaid'fines have recently gone to collections.
If it is possible to do away with this WWTP and tie into the nearest municipal collection system it is
suggested this option be seriously considered.
Due to the terrain and poor condition of the access road, if the power were to go out, a back up generator
would not be able to be brought to this wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). However, the operator believes
the condominium complex this WWTP serves is on a drinking' water well system and is on the same power
supply as the WWTP. Therefore, no power no water no discharge.

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Blackberry Sewer VWVTP in the amount of $600.00
($500.00 civil penalty + $100.00 in enforcement costs). This assessment is based upon the following facts:
1. The June 2011 Discharge monitoring report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within
the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained
in your NPDES permit. A Notice of Violation (NOV-2012-LR-0027) was mailed to you for failure to submit the
June 2011 DMR no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the reporting period. Within said Notice, you
were informed that future'reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further
enforcement actions.
2. The August 2011 Discharge monitoring report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality
within the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements
contained in your NPDES permit
3. The January 2012 Discharge monitoring report (DMR) was not filed with the Division of Water Quality
within the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements
contained in your NPDES permit. A Notice of Violation (NOV-2012-1-11-0012) was mailed to you for failure to
submit the January 2012 DMR no later than the thirtieth (30n') day following the reporting period. This Notice
of Violation was received by you on April 25„ 2012. Within said Notice, you were informed that future reports
not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement actions.
4. The Division of Water Quality has not received the June 2011, August 2011 and the January 2012
Discharge Monitoring Reports from the Blackberry Sewer WWTP NPDES NCO055611.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Blackberry Sewer WWTP violated or failed to act
in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023566 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more
than $25,000.00 per violation may be' assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any
documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be
assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9)'and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality,
I hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Blackberry Sewer WWTP:
$ $500.00 for failing to submit the January 2012 DMR as required by NPDES Permit
NCO023566 and G.S.143-215.65.
$ $100.00 Investigation Costs
$ $600.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b),
which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to. the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. 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 the assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses 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 or legal issues in dispute. You must
execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement,
which you believe establishes whether:
(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 been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.

Please submit this informat ) the attention of:
FVr Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a
bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission
request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
OR
Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative
hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings
and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
BOD, Fecal coli, NH3 and TSS were not monitored Weekly for the week ending
10/16/10 in violation of their NPDES Permit.
Flow was not monitored Weekly for the weeks ending 10/23/10 and 10/30/10 in
violation of their NPDES Permit.
Temperature was not monitored Weekly for the weeks ending 10/16/10 and 10/23/10 in violation
of their NPDES Permit.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of the ORC to monitor, sample
and operate the WWTP. It would also include the cost of analyzing the samples in
the lab.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil penalty enforcement in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$67.00.

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $186.00
($119.00 civil penalty + $67.00 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of September 2010. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO055611. The violations which occurred in
September 2010 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty: -
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In

(2)
whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
:ther one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your -
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director: Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must .complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center

remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282. 1 (c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
_ (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);,
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the'violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
_ (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were not monitored Quarterly in violation
of their NPDES Permit.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the labor to collect the samples and the
cost to analyze the samples in the lab.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been no civil penalty enforcements in the twelve months prior to this violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$67.00.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Blackberry Ridge
NPDES M NCO055611
Date: �3/3/10
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898=6277. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description' of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

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

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$1,967.00 ($1,900.00 civil penalty + $67.00 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of June 2009. This review has
shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring
requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO055611. The violations which occurred in June 2009
are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. The June 2009 DMR has not been received.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, 1, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:

payment of i penalty:

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors set
out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
No Discharge Monitoring Report has been filed for June 2009 and therefore no sampling
results, required by the permit, may be examined to determine the degree and extent of
harm.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
No required monitoring or sampling for Blackberry WWTP was done in June 2009.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
There is no way to determine this due to the lack of required monitoring and sampling.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
There is no way to determine this due to the lack of required monitoring and sampling.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
There is no way to determine this due to the lack of required monitoring and sampling.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It is unknown; however, someone'made the choice to not perform the required
monitoring and sampling.
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
There have been three previous civil penalty enforcements in the past year.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits notice of.a civil penalty assessed against the Blackberry Sewer System WWTP in the amount of $600.00

2009. Within said Notice, you were informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in a -
recommendation for assessment of civil penalties.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Blackberry Sewer System WWTP violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per

G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-
282.1(b) (8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to -the authority delegated to me by the Secretary
of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I hereby make the following
civil penalty assessment against the Blackberry Sewer System WWTP:
-$ $500.00 for failing to submit the June 2009 DMR as required by NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in :rmining the amount of the penalty, I have taN to account the Findings of Facts and
Conclusions of Law and have considered e; - and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the
violation;

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not

violation(s).

2. 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 the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses 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 or legal issues in
dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement,
which you believe establishes whether:
(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 been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:

Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in writing. The

status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management
Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very

Annual Wastewater Treatment'PlantReport
II
Blackberry Ridge
NPDES #: NCO055611
Date: 2/11/09'
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for .
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

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

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring reports (DMRs) submitted by Susan Glenn for the quarters ending September 2008 and

for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be

Ps
and submit it to th„ ..vision of Water Quality at the addres.� ...ted below. In
mining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be

was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties, for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.

in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Blackberry Sewer System WWTP in the
amount of $600.00 ($500.00 civil penalty + $100.00 in enforcement costs).
This assessment is based upon the following facts: the April 2008 discharge monitoring report (DMR)
was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day. reporting period in accordance with the
monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. A Notice of Violation (NOV-2008-LR-
0036) was sent to you dated June 26, 2008 for failure to submit the April DMR no later than the thirtieth (30) day
following the reporting period. The certified mail receipt was received and signed for on 7-02-2008. Within said
Notice, you were informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in a
recommendation for assessment of civil penalties. As of October 24, 2008, the April 2008 DMR has not been
received.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Blackberry Sewer System WWTP
violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.65.
A civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file,
submit, or make available any documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement
costs in this matter may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a) (9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b) (8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to
me by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of
Water Quality, I hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Blackberry Sewer System
WWTP: i
$ $500.00 for failing to submit the April 2008 DMR as required by NPDES Permit

Case Number RV-2008-0001
Dear Permittee:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessment of $886.26 [$860.00 civil penalty +
$26.26 enforcement costs], based upon the following facts:
➢ The Division issued permit NCO055611 for the subject facility on October 5, 2005.
➢ Permit NCO055611 expires on October 31,.2008. North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 (c) requires the Permittee to request renewal at least 180 days before permit
expiration. No renewal application for your permit was received on or before May 4, 2008
(180 days before the permit expiration date).
➢ A Notice of Violation was mailed to you dated May 15, 2008. Records from the U.S. Postal
Service document that it was received on May 22, 2008. To date the Division has received
no correspondence requesting either renewal or rescission of the permit.
➢ In accordance with NCGS 143-215.6 A (a), a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per

Based on the facts listed above, I conclude as a matter of law that:
➢ NPDES permit NCO055611 is required by NCGS 143-215.1.

Page 2
Based on the above facts and conclusions of law [and proper delegation from the
Secretary of NC DENR and the Director of the Division of Water Quality], you are
hereby assessed a civil penalty of $886.26 for failure to renew your permit.
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
In determining the dollar amount of the penalty assessed in this case [pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-
215.6A (c)], Division staff take into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the
factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
The enclosed Assessment Responses Document lists the 3 options available to you in
response to this penalty. Failure to exercise one of the options within thirty (30) days of receipt
of this letter, as evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result
in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through
a civil action. Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that
occur after the review period of this assessment. Regardless of the option you choose, you
MUST submit a renewal application if you want this discharge permit to be renewed.

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

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

Compliance Sampling Inspection
Blackberry Sewer System
Permit No: NCO055611
Caldwell County
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection report from the
inspection conducted on February 16, 2006. James R Reid and Starr Silvis of the Asheville
Regional Office conducted the Compliance Sampling Inspection. The facility was found to be in
Compliance with permit NCO055611, largely as a result of low flow and resultant settling time in
the effluent contact tank.
Situationally appropriate operational adjustments are suggested. Should the
current state of operation continue and flows increase, effluent violations would be
expected. The volume of flow was a trickle; consequently, the effluent contact tank was providing
settling capacity for the stream from the package plant that was turbid and contained visible
suspended solids. The turbid, solids laden flow from the package plant was attributable to
excessive aeration and turbulence in the clarifier. In the aeration basin, the dissolved oxygen
concentration was 14.8 mg/I; temperature was 2.8 degrees C; and settleable solids were 40
ml/liter. The aeration "on" cycle varied from 30 minutes "on" to 60 "on" throughout the day, clearly
excessive for loading conditions. The sludge return rate was likewise judged to be excessively
high.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500 Ext.4651.
Sincerely,
James R Reid

Trickle flow from discharge pipe. Effluent from package plant was somewhat turbid & solids laden as a
result of overaeration; small volume of flow was allowing settling in the effluent contact chamber. Aeration
cycles varied throughout the day from 30 minutes "on" to 1 hr "on". Dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin
was 14.8 mg/I; 20 min settleable solids were 40 ml/l with brown turbid supernant; aeration basin temp was
2.8 degrees C. Sludge return was "wide open".

Dear. Permittee:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $278.26 ($119.00 civil penalty
+-$159.26 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following .facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report
(DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of December 2014. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No. NCO055611. The
violations, which occurred in December 2014, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms, conditions or

Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be
assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S.
143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the

$278.26 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation; .
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the: penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the. order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not
include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or
new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained
in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses . 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
and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why
you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision
in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for
payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you
prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282. I (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not
include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or
new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of:
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
104

2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained
in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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
and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why
you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision
in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for
payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you
prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) dqys of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
Case Number: MV-2015-0020 County: Caldwell
Assessed Party: Susan Glenn
Permit No.: NC0055611 Amount Assessed: $278.26
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the 'Request For
Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form to request remission of
this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe support your request and are necessary for the
Director to consider in evaluating your request for remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to
consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty
assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the
accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. §
143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply.
Please check each factor that you believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of
supporting documents, as to why the factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to
the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (i.e., explain the
steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or
something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions (i.e., explain
how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve
compliance).

8 ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Potential violations may not be revealed with "Failure to Monitor."
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were not monitored quarterly per the
requirements of the NPDES permit.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Potential violations may not be revealed with "Failure to Monitor."
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of the collection of the
samples and the cost of analyzing them at a certified lab.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil penalty enforcement in the twelve months prior to. this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. The Division of
Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional violations. If the violations are of
a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial
construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. You may
contact this office for additional information.

Caldwell County
Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $266.50
($119.00 civil penalty + $147.50 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of December 2013. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO055611. The violations which occurred in
December 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson, Division of Water Resources
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Susan Glenn:

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
No permit- required Quarterly monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Total
Phosphorus was done during the quarter for October through December 2013.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of labor, sampling and lab
testing for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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
There have been no civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

$266.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/ Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)

occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/ Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $256.00
($119.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of December 2012. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO055611. The violations which occurred in
December 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement Costs
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of 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 noncompliance;
(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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department .of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source 'Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

PIFing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. 1 (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were not monitored quarterly per the
NPDES Permit.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is' unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of the operator's time to
sample the TN & TP and the cost of analyzing the samples.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
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

violation.

Caldwell
Case Number: MV-2013-0008
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus were not monitored quarterly per the
NPDES Permit.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Failure to monitor may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of the operator's time to
sample the TN & TP and the cost of analyzing the samples.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not.appear to be either.
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
There has been one civil penalty assessment in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$137.00.

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $256.00

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of December 2012. This

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses 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 and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Pleas
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Jeff, Chuck,
WQ Labs has resumed complete operation of my plant, has fixed everything that was noted to be out
of order, and is supposed to be sending in the monthly reports. If you are not receiving the reports,
please let me know immediately. As far as I know, we have been in complete compliance since they
made the repairs within a couple days of your last visit with me. The cost of their current service
arrangement is approximately $1,100 per month.

I am continuing to work with Mike Wilcox from the Town of Blowing Rock to complete the switchover
of the Gideon Ridge connections to the Town. I have called engineer Marion Rothrock to try to
arrange a meeting with him and Mike Wilcox to get some of the last questions answered about that.
With increased activity in the real estate business here and resolution of the Gideon Ridge switchover
soon, I hope to be able to make a commitment to tackle back fines soon.
Thank you for working with me on this.

Gentlemen:
I just spoke with Jadd Brewer from WQ Labs to see how his operator and my sewer plant got along.
He tells me that the belt was replaced, lime was added, and the plant is running smoothly. A new UV
bulb has been ordered. I asked him about the submission of the old monthly reports. He didn't know
the answer to my question but said he would check on it and would follow up to see that they have
been submitted.
Have a good week!

Subject: Blackberry Sewer Update
Gentlemen:
Thank you for meeting with me yesterday, for hearing me out, and for helping me find some possible
solutions for what seemed an impossible situation.
I contact Jadd Brewer with WQ Labs in Banner Elk and worked some things out. I am confirming
things with him, but I think we have re-established a working relationship. They have asked that I
pre -pay for monthly services and will look toward my settlement with the Town of Blowing Rock to
take care of the back bill of approximately $12,000. In return, Jadd told me that he was sending an
operator out to my site today to "get it up and running." They will also send in the monthly reports

from January- through April of this year and will send in the monthly monitoring reports from here on
have sent his check along with a statement of my understanding of this arrangement.
The Town of Blowing Rock did move forward with the annexation of the Blue Ridge Vista
condominiums, with a final vote next month. I did. get to speak with the Town engineer, Doug
Chapman, at that Council Meeting last night. He felt that the cost of connection to the Town sewer for
the Blackberry Ridge condos would require at least two lift stations and would cost"hundreds of
thousands of dollars". I'll question him a bit further about why he came up with such a huge off -the -
top -of -his -head estimate, but he also encouraged me to explore the shared septic system for the
Blackberry Ridge condos as an alternative and seemed to regard the Gideon Ridge connection as
something that had already been done.
I did also speak with the fellow in charge of the municipal utilities, Mike Wilcox. He had one of his
employees call me, but it turned out that the referred employee was not adequately certified to do the
job. That employee, however, referred me to another man, whom I will contact in the next couple
days to take a look at things and let me know what he could do as a back-up operator or perhaps as
an alternative to WQ.
So, I think we made huge headway yesterday and today, and I'll update you further as I have more
news.
Again, thank you for your help.
