GRANT OF TERM EASEMENT
TVA TRACT NO. XTFR-16E
THIS GRANT OF TERM EASEMENT, made and entered into by and between the UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "GRANTOR"), acting by and through its legal agent,
the TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "TVA"), an executive branch
corporate agency and instrumentality of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA created by an act of Congress
known as the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, as amended, and TOWN OF FONTANA DAM, a
North Carolina municipal corporation (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "GRANTEE");
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS TVA is authorized by 40 U.S.C. § 1314 to grant to an applicant, on behalf of the UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, such easements affecting federal property in its custody and control as TVA's
Board of Directors determines will not be adverse to the interests of the GRANTOR; and
WHEREAS in considering GRANTEE's application, TVA's Board of Directors, through its designee,
the Chief Executive Officer of TVA, has determined that the granting of the following described easement,
subject to the conditions provided herein, will not be adverse to the interests of GRANTOR;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the other provisions of this grant
of easement:
1. GRANTOR, pursuant to the provisions of 40 U.S.C. § 1314, and subject to all of the terms,
conditions, reservations, restrictions, exceptions, and/or limitations contained in this grant of
easement and exhibits hereto, does hereby grant, bargain, sell, transfer, and convey to
GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, a non-exclusive term easement and right-of-way, the

'NA TRACT NO. XTFR-16E
term easement to expire December 31, 2051, to enter upon subject land to construct, repair,
operate, maintain, and use water, sewer and road infrastructure facilities, and together with
such other improvements as may be necessary or incidental to the operation thereof, and
appurtenances thereto, all in the current locations of existing improvements within a strip of
land fifty (50) feet in width and in other locations in accordance with plans approved in advance
and in writing by TVA, all in, on, over, across, upon, through, or under certain land located in
Graham County, North Carolina, designated as TVA Tract No. XTFR••16E (hereinafter referred
to as the "easement area") and more particularly described in Exhibit A, and shown on Exhibit
B, respectively, which exhibits are attached hereto and made a part hereof.
2. This entire grant is expressly made upon and subject to the following conditions:
(a) The easement area shall be used solely to construct, repair, operate, maintain, and
use water, sewer, and road infrastructure, together such other improvements as may
be necessary or incidental to the operation thereof, and appurtenances thereto, and
for no other purpose or purposes, all as approved in advance and in writing by TVA.
Improvements in existence at the time of execution of this easement may be
repaired, operated, maintained, and used solely at existing locations within the
easement area. GRANTEE must obtain advance written TVA approval for
construction or expansion of improvements in new locations within the easement
area.
(b) In the event that GRANTEE shall cease to use such easement area for the purpose
for which this easement is granted for a period of two (2) consecutive years or more
or shall, regardless of the time period, initiate use of the area subject to such
easement for some other purpose or shall abandon such easement or commit any
breach of any of the terms or conditions of this easement, in whole or in part, then
GRANTOR, TVA, or their successors or assigns, may terminate the easement by
written notice to GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, and take possession of the
easement area as if this grant of easement had never been made. Such termination
shall be effective as of the date of such notice; grovided, however, that GRANTEE, its
successors and assigns, shall have the right during a period of ninety (90) days
immediately following the date of such notice of termination to remove any
improvements placed by it on, over, or across the easement area; and provided
further, that GRANTEE, its successors and assigns, shall restore the easement area
to TVA's satisfaction, including any regrading or reseeding TVA may deem
appropriate. Any use of the easement area or any portion thereof that is 1) approved
in writing by TVA, 2) in conformity with any existing agreement between the
GRANTOR and GRANTEE, or 3) a reduction in use occasioned by proper operation of
the GRANTEE's system shall not be deemed to be cessation of use pursuant to this
subsection. Title to any such improvements not removed within such 90-day period
shall become the property of TVA or, at TVA's option, may be removed at
GRANTEE's expense. Any failure of GRANTOR, TVA, or their successors or assigns,
to exercise such power of termination shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the
conditions or rights of the GRANTOR, TVA, or their successors or assigns.
(c) The easement area and any public facilities constructed in or upon the easement area shall
at all times be made available for use by all members of the general public without
distinction or discrimination, and no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national
origin, disability, or age be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be
subject to discrimination in the use of the easement area, which shall be administered in full
compliance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and all regulations issued by
TVA thereunder at 18 C.F.R. pts. 1302, 1307, 1309, and 1317, the provisions of which, and
all future amendments of such statutes and regulations, are incorporated herein by

TVA TRACT NO. XTFR-16E
reference and made a part hereof. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit the
GRANTEE's authority to exclude the general public from the easement area for reasons of
public safety, provided that such exclusion is nondiscriminatory.
In carrying out its obligations under this section, GRANTEE shall comply with the provisions
of Exhibit C which is an integral part of this easement grant. GRANTEE shall make the
information set out in said Exhibit C available in a form accessible to persons who do not
understand written English, including the visually impaired, in a manner to be determined by
the GRANTEE and TVA: A similar provision shall be expressly included in any sublease,
license, permit, or other agreement to a third party, but this sentence shall not be construed
as authorizing any such sublease, license, permit, or other agreement without GRANTOR's
permission, in accordance herewith.
3. GRANTEE, by accepting this grant, covenants and agrees on behalf of itself, its successors,
and assigns, that the following shall constitute real covenants which shall attach to and run with
the easement hereby granted, and which shall also be binding upon anyone who may hereafter
come into ownership thereof, whether by purchase, devise, descent, or succession:
(a) GRANTEE shall not, without the consent of TVA, at any time operate or use the easement
area or permit it or any part of it to be operated or used for any other purpose other than
the use stated herein.
(b) GRANTEE shall not construct, maintain, operate, or use buildings, facilities, structures, or
improvements of any nature, place equipment, conduct any dredging activities, or place fill
material on any portion of the easement area, nor shall GRANTEE make any
modifications to, or alter in any way, any wetlands, shoreline vegetation, or floodplains
within the easement area, now or in the future, except such as are constructed,
maintained, operated, used, placed, conducted, or modified in accordance with plans and
specifications which shall first have been approved in writing by TVA. All buildings,
facilities, structures, improvements, and equipment placed in or upon the easement area
by GRANTEE shall beat its sole risk.
(c) GRANTEE will not construct any structure or facility for which approval is required
under Section 26a of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, as amended, until plans
for such structure or facility have been submitted to TVA and have been approved in
writing in accordance with established procedures. Nothing in this instrument shall be
construed as constituting or evidencing such approval by TVA.
(d) GRANTEE shall control all emissions of pollutants that might be discharged or
released directly or indirectly into the atmosphere, into any stream, lake, reservoir,
watercourse, or surface or subterranean waters, or into or on the ground from any
part of the easement area, in full compliance with all applicable standards and
requirements relating to pollution control of any kind now in effect or hereafter
established by or pursuant to federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances, codes, or
regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable state law, GRANTEE shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GRANTOR and TVA from any and all claims,
costs, or losses that may arise as a result of GRANTEE's breach of this provision.
If there is a discharge or release of a hazardous substance, material, or waste, or of
any pollutant or other substance, in or from the easement area by GRANTEE or its
agents, employees, or contractors for which a cleanup, remediation, restoration,
removal, or other action (hereinafter, individually and collectively, referred to as
"environmental response") is ordered or required pursuant to any federal, state, or

TVA TRACT N0. XTFR-16E
local statute, regulation, or ordinance, (including, without limitation, discharges or
releases which spread or move in whole or in part beyond the easement area to
other areas owned by GRANTOR), GRANTEE shall bear full responsibility for the
cost (including, without limitation, natural resources damages and costs) of said
environmental response, and shall not seek any contribution or indemnification from
GRANTOR or TVA for all or any portion of said costs; provided, however, that
nothing in this covenant is intended to or shall preclude GRANTEE from seeking
indemnification or contribution from any other person or entity, and provided further
that nothing herein shall create any rights in or be enforceable by any person or
entity other than GRANTOR, TVA, or their respective successors or assigns.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable state law, GRANTEE further agrees to

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.

Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non -significant categorical Industrial User.

2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as
influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit.
3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent
introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or
quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW.
Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users.
1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users
discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information
becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent
limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality
standards.
2. Prohibited Discharges
a. The Permittee shall develop and enforce their Pretreatment Program to implement the prohibition against the
introduction of pollutants or discharges into the waste treatment system or waste collection system which
cause or contribute to Pass Through or Interference as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0900 and 40 CFR 403. [40

,(2) Pollutants which cause corrosive structural damage to the POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower
than 5."0, unless the works is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which cause obstruction to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which will cause Interference with the POTW;
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the POTW Treatment Plant exceeds 40°C (104°F)
unless the Division, upon request of the POTW, approves alternate temperature limits;
(6) Petroleum oil, non -biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause
Interference or Pass Through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems; or
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the POTW.
c. The Permittee shall investigate the source of all discharges into the POTW, including slug loads and other
unusual discharges, which have the potential to adversely impact the Permittee's Pretreatment Program and/or
the operation of the POTW.
The Permittee shall report such discharges into the POTW to the Director or the appropriate Regional Office.
Any information shall be provided orally within 24 hours from the time the Permittee became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 days of the time the Permittee becomes

The Town received your letter regarding the inspection of our wastewater treatment plant in
April. There were several areas of violations and concerns you mentioned that we have since
addressed that I would like to share with you. The first concerns record keeping with operations
and maintenance. As I'm sure you noticed, the plant is undergoing significant remodeling which
we hope will be completed by July. While that is no excuse for haphazard record keeping, I
assure you there will be properly documented maintenance logs as we move forward.
We have put in a change order to the state to see if they will allow us to use the grant funds to
purchase a new composite sampler. It will be flow proportional, have a new fridge and
thermometer as well as new tubing. We are also working on getting the diffusers fixed. If the
company that is doing the upgrades to the plant can't do them, there is another company that has
been used in the past that we can contact. This is something we are also trying to get done
through the grant. The chart recorder is working well, we have new pens for it, and it is being

changed each week. We have also cleaned the weirs on the number 2 clarifier as well as the
outfall.
The town has taken over the mowing at the WWP and water plant. This means the pathway to
the discharge is being mowed on a regular basis.
The town has previously looked for the infiltration and inflow, several times in fact. We have
done smoke tests and manhole inspections, and it was determined the overall I/I quantity is likely
the result of many small I/I sources along the aged collection system at pipe joints and service
connections. Many of these service connections were abandoned many years ago and there are
no accurate maps of the system. However, the town continues to seek out problem areas and
correct them as needed, or as can be found.
We appreciate the feedback and comments you provided us, and we have done everything
possible to correct the items mentioned in your letter. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Zelerie Rogers

Dear Mr. Davidson,
I am writing in response to the letter we received from your office dated March
31,2015 subject Notice of Violation for Sept.8th 2014.
September of last year was a very difficult time for me, I was out for almost the
entire month due to emergency gallbladder surgery. I went into surgery on August
20th and wasn't allowed to return to work until September 25th, When I came back
I didn't catch the daily maximum excedence for September 8th;, for this I do
apologize. The sampler lines had been clogged with algae and were replaced. The
following sample on September 15th was a little over 12 mg/1; well within the
daily limit value.
Thank you for bringing this oversight to my attention, I appreciate anything you
can inform me of to help me become an overall better operator.
Sincerely,
� a, J, 12a

Dear Mrs. Stewart:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted
on June 6, 2013. Parts of the waste water plant may be beyond their useful life
expectancy and are at risk of total failure. The owners of this system need to take action
to insure that this waste water system is properly maintained and operated to provide
adequate treatment at all times. Currently a master plan is being engineered for the
Town's approval which will outline sewer priorities so that the Town can take measures to
address these issues. The plan will outline the repairs which need to be made to both the
collection system and the waste water plant.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
At the time of inspection only one of three blower motors was operable and a second blower motor was
slated for repairs the following week. Several leaks in the air lines were also noted during this inspection.
Considering the plant's state of disrepair the operator is doing a good job of keeping the facility in
compliance with effluent limits, his hard work is appreciated.
Other issues observed during the inspection which have been noted in previous inspection reports are as
follows;
The digester is offline and appears to have been inoperable for many years. This piece of equipment is
critical for sludge handling.
The facility has 2 clarifiers; only one clarifier is operable, further crippling this facility.
At the time of inspection there appeared to be a large volume of clear water (non -waste water) coming into
the plant. It is suspected that there is a substantial amount of infiltration entering the collection system.
Parts of the waste water plant may be beyond their useful life expectancy and are at risk of total failure. The
owners of this system need to take action to insure that this waste water system is properly maintained and
operated to provide adequate treatment at all times. Currently a master plan is being engineered for the

Dear Ms. Stewart:
On April 8, 2011, NOV-201 1 -PC-0260 was issued to Fontana Village Resort. As a
follow up to this NOV Roger Edwards and Jeff Menzel of this office met with the staff of
Fontana Village Resort on April 20, 2011.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the maintenance and operational
issues outlined in the NOV and to construct a corrective action plan along with a timeline
to be implemented by Fontana Village Resort. These issues along with the corrective
actions are as follows:
1. The chlorine contact and settling basin have a substantial accumulation of dead
sludge. This is a repeat occurrence as records indicate the facility had the same issue in
2008. The facility agreed to have this basin cleaned by June 15, 2011. Efforts should be
made to minimize any impacts to the receiving stream during this cleaning.

2. The digester is offline and appears to have been inoperable for many years. This piece
of equipment is critical for sludge handling. The facility agreed to bring the digester back
online as soon as possible.
3. The facility has 2 clarifiers; only one clarifier is operable, further crippling this facility.
The facility agreed to bring the other clarifier online within 8 months (December 20, 2011)
from the time of the meeting.
4. At the time of inspection there appeared to be a large volume of clear water (non -
wastewater) coming in to the plant. It is suspected that there is a substantial amount of
infiltration entering the collection system. With the assistance of Rural Water the facility is
scheduled to start smoke testing in May 2011. As discussed during the meeting the
facility should commit to identifying and eliminating points of infiltration within the
collection system. A copy of the report from Rural Waters smoke testing findings is
requested by this office.
5. The sludge handling lines from the drinking water plant for transfer of the basin and
backwash waste to the sewer system is inoperable, with the current waste being directly
discharged to the Little Tennessee River. This illegal discharge is to cease immediately.
The facility agreed to cease this illegal discharge immediately by routing the back wash
water to be settled out and directed to the waste water plant. The alum sludge will be
allowed to settle out within the alum sludge basin.
Other matters were discussed which would optimize the treatment capacity of the waste
water plant and include, but are not isolated to:
a. Fabricate or machine the existing bar screen so that the bars are closer together.
This improvement would reduce the amount of debris coming into the plant.
b. The operator should be conducting process control including a 30 minute
settleability test in the aeration basin, efforts should be made to optimize the
dissolved oxygen levels within the plant by adjusting the blower run time. The
operator did not have a D.O meter but did have the equipment to run MLSS. It was
understood that the operator would have access to a D.O. meter through purchase
or other available means.
c. Insure the effluent sampling is being conducted in accordance with the permit. The
operational status of the sampler was questionable at the time of the inspection. It
is recommended that the facility use oversight to insure that the contract lab
understands their requirements.
d. Depending on how successful the efforts to eliminate the collection system
infiltration are, this facility could possible reduce the size of the treatment plant and
eventually may be able to eliminate the discharge during the off-season.

It is requested that you update this office in writing to provide us with updates as these
deficiencies are corrected and as these agreed upon dates are met.
Parts of the waste water plant may be beyond their useful life expectancy and are at
risk of total failure, while other parts appear to have years of useful life expectancy.
You and your staff need to take action on a regular basis to insure that this waste
water system is properly maintained, operated, and provides adequate treatment at all
times.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call Jeff Menzel at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mr. Davis,
I am responding to the two items that needed attention:
The Blower was put back in service August 9, 2008 by our. Maintenance
Department.
The Sludge removal is scheduled to begin on August 25, 2008.
Our flow will be down this week. We will schedule another load to be hauled out
when the flow is low again. This will probably be September 15 —19, 2008. We will
continue to do this as we can until our dead sludge build up problem is fully
corrected.

In the State of North Carolina wastewater can only be discharged to a stream in
accordance with a permit issued by the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission. Fontana Village, Inc. holds no permit to discharge wastewater generated. by
operation of its water treatment plant to a tributary of the Little Tennessee River.
On July 29, 20081 observed that the motor/pump assembly used to pump water
plant wastewater to the Fontana Village Resort sewage treatment plant was missing its
belts. Without an operable pumping systems, water plant wastewater overflows the
holding basin to the State's surface waters. This illegal discharge is to cease immediately.
The General Statutes subject anyone discharging wastewater without benefit of
iced -permit ta-pen-alties o 6-per-viofatimwith-each-d that-anrHega'
discharge continues being considered a separate violation.

Dear Ms. Stewart:
Attached is the report resulting from the wastewater treatment plant Compliance
Evaluation Inspection which I conducted at Fontana Village Resort on July 29, 2008. .
I observed two items needing your attention. The Wastewater treatment plant is'
equipped with an emergency blower. This blower has not been run in over a year.
Please return the piston engine and blower to full service and place them on a regular
maintenance schedule. Engines used only for emergency purposes, such as this one,
are normally run weekly. The chlorine contact and settling basin following have a
substantial accumulation of dead sludge. Please have this sludge removed. Please inform
me in writing when these items are attended to.
Mike Ladd tells me he no longer has an involvement with the. wastewater treatment
plant serving Fontana Village Resort. Please complete the attached Operator
Designation Form and return to the indicated address.-

Re: Sanitary Survey
Fontana Village Resort Water System
NCO 138101, Graham County
Dear Ms. Stewart:
As you are aware a sanitary survey was performed at the Fontana Village Water System in the presence of Mr.
Tim Green, ORC on July 23, 2008. From this survey the following sanitary and operational deficiencies were
noted:
Water Treatment Plant
1. There is no flash mixing at this plant to adequately disperse and mix coagulation and disinfection chemicals,
therefore causing poor or inadequate coagulation entering the sedimentation basins.
2. The #2 sedimentation basin was over full of sludge during this survey with evident over feed of alum to the
treatment process. This basin needs cleaning immediately to prevent excessive carryover of floc and aluminum.
3. The two filters are in extremely poor condition with the surface sweeps inoperable, the filter media is cracked
and fouled with many of the filter valves and controllers inoperable. No adequate rate of flow indicators are
present with these filters to measure or set an adequate backwash rate of flow, therefore the filters are not being
adequately washed and maintained. These conditions create a serious concern for bacteria and other pathogens
to pass through the filtration process, which could cause health risk to your employees and customers.
4. The in -line turbidity meters have not been calibrated in quite some time and are reading inaccurately. One
meter was logging turbidity numbers in excess of the drinking water standards. These meters need calibration
immediately.
5. There is excessive leakage of water from the filter walls, piping and pumping down stairs in the pump room.
With all of the electrical equipment for the plant present in this area, there is a serious hazard to the operations
staff of electrical shock and possible serious injury with the wet conditions. As you know, the building
foundation is also rotting away with the overall structure in a state of failure.

'Fontana Village Water System
Sanitary Survey.
7. Mr. Green has began work on a operations plan for this system but the plan is incomplete and needs to be
finalized and used as a guide to properly maintain and operate this system. It is evident that little to no
maintenance is being performed at the water plant.
Well #1
1. This well is currently offline due to high iron concentrations. This well will require adequate treatment to
either sequester or remove the excessive iron before it can be used permanently.
2. The wellhead support and sanitary seal needs repair. It has been broken for some time and before the well is
placed back in service the supports and seal will need replacement.
Distribution System
1.The 30,000-gallon wooden water storage tank on Hwy 28 is in very poor condition with the screened vents
torn and missing. The roof is again in poor condition, and the access ladder has totally fallen away due to rotten
supports. During the survey this tank was overflowing allowing a lot of treated water to run down the hillside.
This tank is not sanitary and needs repair or replacement immediately.
2. The intermediate booster pump station was in good condition however both pumps run all of the time. This
condition could cause you to loose one or both of the pumps due to excessive runtime. Pumps are usually set to
lead and lag, therefore having a spare always in reserve. With them both running all of the time a complete
failure could occur leaving you with no back up pumping capability.
3. This water system has no remote SCADA system capable of sending water tank level indication to the
operators at the water plant therefore overflow of tanks occur if they are not able to know what the water level
is in the Intermediate or new Village tank. They try to visit the tanks regularly, however during the survey the
Intermediate tank was overflowing wasting a lot of water onto the ground.
We cannot over state how seriously concerned this agency is about the condition of the Fontana Village Water
Plant and the Intermediate water storage tank. The water plant is well beyond its useful life expectancy and is at
risk for total failure at anytime. Therefore, based on these conditions the "Boil Water Advisory" is still in effect
and must be updated immediately and posted throughout the village (see attached notice). You must advise your
visitors of the risk associated with the poor condition of this water system so they may take necessary
precautions as needed.
It is also requested that you update this agency and provide us with a plan to correct these deficiencies at the
earliest date possible. In fact, all your efforts should be placed on the replacement of the existing water plant
with a new and more modern facility that can meet on a continuous basis the requirements of the Safe Drinking
Water Act of NC. The Intermediate water storage tank needs immediate repair or it should be replaced
immediately. You and your staff need to take action on a regular basis to insure that this water system is
properly maintained, operated and provides adequate sanitary protection.

ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFF;CE
I have received your letter dated May, 20, 2005, regarding two additional; exceedences in March 2005at the
Fontana Village Wastewater Treatment Plant. We have review the plant operation as it relates to the pH that was
exceeded on 3/10/05 and 3/17/05. We are confident it is not a plant issue. After speaking with Janet Cantwell and
Carrie Becker on May 19, 2005, Carrie determined that all the other numbers reported indicated a stable plant. The
pH exceedence is an anomaly and had to have been introduced into the collection system by the Fontana Village.
As an action item, Peppertree Fontana plant operators have been through a refresher training session regarding
proper completion of the monthly reports and process control testing. We have continued the four phase pH testing
procedure suggested by Carrie Becker. The operators of the WWTP have not been able to identify the root cause
of the pH exceedence. We suspect the opening of winterized units that contained RV anti -freeze in the water closets
may have attributed to the increase in the pH on those two occasions.
It is my understanding that Janet Cantwell and Carrie Becker will be coming to help analyze the system upset in
the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your letter regarding the exceedence with respect to Fontana Village Wastewater Treatment Plant.
We have reviewed the plant operation as it relates to the pH that was exceeded on 1/19/05. We are confident it is
not a plant issue. After speaking with Janet Cantwell and Carrie Becker on May 19, 2005, Carrie determined that
all the other numbers reported indicated a stable plant. The pH exceedence is an anomaly and had to have been
introduced into the collection system by the Fontana Village.
As an action item, Peppertree Fontana plant operators have been through a refresher training session regarding
proper completion of the monthly reports and has incorporated a four phase pH testing procedure suggested by
Carrie Becker. The operators of the WWTP have not been able to identify the root cause of the pH exceedence. We
suspect a cleaning process in one of the restaurants or perhaps a chemical change in the laundry facility (either the
in house Peppertree laundry or the coin laundry).
It is my understanding that Janet Cantwell and Carrie Becker will be coming to help analyze the system upset in
the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at your convenience.

Subject: Required 2004 Performance Evaluation
Dear Mr. Kerr:
Please be reminded that as a requirement of your field parameter certification you must submit an
"acceptable" result on a Performance Evaluation Sample for the following parameters if they appear on your
certificate: pH, Total Residual Chlorine, Conductivity, and Settleable Solids.
While you may obtain guidance and assistance from another laboratory in preparing the samples for
analysis you or your personnel must perform the analysis using your instrumentation.
The performance sample must be purchased from an approved vendor and the results reported using
your EPA lab code. If this office does not receive an acceptable result by December 31, 2004, it will be counted
as a first unacceptable result. Due to the short time left until the deadline it is strongly recommended that you
order a quick turn around type sample.
If you have already submitted results that are pending evaluation please disregard this letter. If you
have received results from the vendor, and this has not been acknowledged by this office, please contact me.
Contact me at 828-296-4677 if you have any questions concerning this matter.
