RE: Linville Ridge Country Club
NPDES Permit Number: NCO062413
NOV — 2013 - LV — 0528
Dear Mr. Cranford,
This letter is in reference to the NOV dated September 13, 2013 received by Linville Ridge
Country Club on or about September 16, 2013. This NOV was for the month of June, 2013 for the
parameters of Ammonia Nitrogen.
This facility experienced difficulty due to an issue with the dish washer soap dispenser at the Sand
Wedge kitchen. The excessive soap was washed to the waste water treatment which then caused white
soap suds throughout the aeration basins. This also caused the clarifier .to become very murky. The
ammonia nitrogen levels increased due to the nature of the soap.
The facility was wasted to the digester on a continuous basis until the levels did begin to drop on
the Ammonia field meter. The digester was pumped during the wasting and again after the soap was
wasted out to compliance. The kitchen staff was instructed by the Linville Ridge maintenance to monitor
the introduction of soap to the system until the dispenser could be repaired or replaced. The Golf Course
Management also instructed the kitchen staff to monitor the allotment of soap dispensed until the situation
could be corrected.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
With regards,
Harry & Juanita James

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Linville Ridge Country Club for the month of June 2013.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or

June 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Linville Ridge Country Club

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

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; a
(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

e a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
fitted, 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 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:

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;
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 162.77%.
One Daily Max Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 6 %.
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 excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would also include additional sampling, chemicals to
treat the waste and more time spent on site.
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 three civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Monthly Average —, 7.9 mg/1
This gave a daily maximum violation on two days and did give one monthly violation. We
determined that the cause of the violation was due to the toxic loading of soap from the Sand Wedge. The
kitchen had a spill of the kitchen soap that was washed to the treatment plant. The facility was wasted to
the digester and the digester was pumped twice this month. The facility seems to be on the mend.
You may receive a monetary fine for this month. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for choosing James & James as your service company.

Case Number: LV-2013-0175
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;
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 162.77%.
One Daily Max Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 6 %.
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 excess solids removal.
The amount of money saved would also include additional sampling, chemicals to
treat the waste and more time spent on site.
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 three civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Dear Mr. Sheets:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $397.50
($250.00 civil penalty + $147.50 enforcement costs) against Linville Ridge Country Club.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Linville Ridge Country Club for the month of June 2013.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0062413. The violations which occurred in
June 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Linville Ridge Country Club
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO062413 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

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-
2 82. 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:

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

Failure to exercise one of the options above 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

Dear Client,
We are pleased to notify you that your facility operated most of the month within your National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. We did experience a result that was greater than
the permit discharge limits. Your permit has both a monthly maximum and a daily maximum. Your
facility exceeded the permit discharge limits on the items listed below:
BOD-5 DAY
6/6 - >38.6 mg/1
6/11 ->38.8 mg/1
AMMONIA NITROGEN
6/6 —15.9 mg/1
Monthly Average — 7.9 mg/1
This gave a daily maximum violation on two days and did give one monthly violation. We
determined that the cause of the violation was due to the toxic loading of soap from the Sand Wedge. The
kitchen had a spill of the kitchen soap that was washed to the treatment plant. The facility was wasted to
the digester and the digester was pumped twice this month. The facility seems to be on the mend.
You may receive a monetary fine for this month. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for choosing James & James as your service company.

RE: Linville Ridge Country Club
NPDES NCO062413
LV-2012-0210
Dear Mr. Cranford,
Enclosed you will find the written request for remission for NOV LV-2012-0210 dated December
3, 2012 and received by Linville Ridge on or near the 13th day of December, 2012.
This NOV is in regard to an elevated Ammonia Nitrogen sample monthly average for a daily
maximum result and a monthly average. This facility receives flow from only the community use buildings
to include the Country Club, Half way House, and the Dining Area/Cart Storage. During this month, this
area was inundated with an extremely heavy downpour that lasted only for brief minutes. This deluge
caused the whole sewer collection system to "purge" into the wastewater plant. It brought with it an
extreme amount of trash... possibly shop rags or high quality hand towels. The influent flow box would be
full and overflowing the top into the plant during this event. When the events happened, as I mentioned,
the system was purged. This brought a heavy slug of scoured waste from the lines which increased the
Ammonia Nitrogen level. The following week, the levels had lowered to the monthly average range, but
were not low enough to average into compliance.
This event was brought to the attention of the maintenance staff of Linville Ridge, and they
observed every clean out to confirm that the tops were on and that the strange occurrence did not come
from a broken or missing clean -out. The manholes were also observed to ensure that the water was not
pouring in them and the lids were pulled during the dry time to check for staining. No staining was present.
Since this time, there were several other events during July, 2012 that caused the same condition to occur.
If the operator was there during or shortly after the event, he would remove the rags (usually two 45#
buckets full of rags) and shut down the plant to keep as many solids in the plant as possible and baby the
system through. During the times the operator did not know the event was occurring (night or weekend
events) the facility would be tended early the next day or the following Monday. We do have personnel on
site 7 days per week, and if there was indication the event had occurred overnight, the bar grate was
cleaned on the weekend days as well.
Since this was obviously not a fluke occurrence, the drains at the Cart Wash area was dyed to
ensure that this storm water collection was not tied into the wastewater treatment facility. It was proven to
go to the creek as the creek turned a nice shade of pink. We, our staff as well as the staff of Linville Ridge, -=
walked the area during the next large rain event to observe ponding or other storm ;drains. None was
observed. The staff of Linville Ridge have also attempted to find where the down spouts from the roof

Linville Ridge NCO062413
drains go. Since all of these things required the next short heavy rainfall burst, a few weeks passed
between each observation. Now the heavy rain events have stopped and the majority of the people will
have left the site after Christmas. It was agreed that the roof drains and sewer system would be smoke
tested after the first of the year when there would be limited homeowners. This has been scheduled for
January, 2013.
Due to the challenges originally faced by this facility we would appreciate consideration of a fine.
This is not an issue that has gone by the wayside, efforts are still underway to find and fix the issues.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts and as always appreciate any assistance you can offer.
With regards,
Harry & Juanita James

(Juhty 2012 DMR)
Avery
Case Number: LV-2012-0210
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;
One Daily Max BOD exceeded the permit limit by 26.44 %.
One Monthly Average BOD exceeded the permit limit by 1.07 %.
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 54.99 %.
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 excess solids removal and
additional aeration. It would also include more operating and maintenance time on
site and the cost of additional chemical treatment.
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.
$137.00.

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:
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

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 administrati-,
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.
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:

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

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;

(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

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 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

LV-2012-0209
Dear Mr. Cranford,
Enclosed you will find the written request for remission for NOV LV-2012-0209 dated December
3, 2012 and received by Linville Ridge on or near the 1 Oth day of December, 2012.
This NOV is in regard to an elevated Ammonia Nitrogen sample monthly average for a daily
maximum result and a monthly average. This facility receives flow from only the community use buildings
to include the Country Club, Half way House, and the Dining Area/Cart Storage. During this month, this
area was inundated with an extremely heavy downpour that lasted only for brief minutes. This deluge
caused the whole sewer collection system to "purge" into the wastewater plant. It brought with it an
extreme amount of trash... possibly shop rags or high quality hand towels. The influent flow box would be
full and overflowing the top into the plant during this event. When the events happened, as I mentioned,
the system was purged. This brought a heavy slug of scoured waste from the lines which increased the
Ammonia Nitrogen level. The following week, the levels had lowered to the monthly average range, but
were not low enough to average into compliance.
This event was brought to the attention of the maintenance staff of Linville Ridge, and they
observed every clean out to confirm that the tops were on and that the strange occurrence did not come
from a broken or missing clean -out. The manholes were also observed to ensure that the water was not
pouring in them and the lids were pulled during the dry time to check for staining. No staining was present.
Since this time, there were several other events during July, 2012 that caused the same condition to occur.
If the operator was there during or shortly after the event, he would remove the rags (usually two 45#
buckets full of rags) and shut down the plant to keep as many solids in the plant as possible and baby the
system through. During the times the operator did not know the event was occurring (night or weekend
events) the facility would be tended early the next day or the following Monday. We do have personnel on
site 7 days per week, and if there was indication the event had occurred overnight, the bar grate was
cleaned on the weekend days as well.
Since this was obviously not a fluke occurrence, the drains at the Cart Wash area was dyed to
ensure that this storm water collection was not tied into the wastewater treatment facility. It was proven to
go to the creek as the creek turned a nice shade of pink. We, our staff as well as the staff of Linville Ridge,
walked the area during the next large rain event to observe ponding or other storm drains. None was
observed. The staff of Linville Ridge have also attempted to find where the down spouts from the roof

Linville Ridge NCO062413
drains go. Since all of these things required the next short heavy rainfall burst, a few weeks passed
between each observation. Now the heavy rain events have stopped and the majority of the people will
have left the site after Christmas. It was agreed that the roof drains and sewer system would be smoke
tested after the first of the year when there would be limited homeowners.
Due to the challenges originally faced by this facility we would appreciate consideration of a fine.
This is not an issue that has gone by the wayside, efforts are still underway to find and fix the issues.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts and as always appreciate any assistance you can offer.
With regards,
�1 l.fCe vulu ` T-P/3

11 CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
i% Case Number: LV-2012-0209 Region: Asheville County: Avery
Assessed Entity: Linville Ridge Country Club Permit: NC0062413
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to
the detriment of the petitioner:
❑ (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation:
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The ORC states:
"The facility receives flow from only the community use buildings to include the Country Club, Half way House, and
the Dining Area/Cart Storage. During this month, this area was inundated with an extremely heavy downpour that lasted
only for brief minutes. This deluge caused the whole sewer collection system to "purge" into the wastewater plant. It

"This event was brought to the attention of the maintenance staff of Linville Ridge, and they observed every clean out

manholes were also observed to ensure that the water was not pouring in them and the lids were pulled during the dry time

the first of the year when there would be limited homeowners.
"Due to the challenges originally faced by this facility we would appreciate consideration of a fine. Efforts are still
underway to find and fix the issues."
The ARO states:
The operator found no evidence of `I & I" entering the collection system through the manholes or
anywhere else. The DMR does not show any excess flow during the time of the Daily max. Compared to
previous years the flows that month of June were low.
Note the minutes the ORC spent on site during the week the Ammonia daily max was exceeded. ivonndav
tluru Friday: 15", 15", 20", 15"tuuud 20': This does not appear to be enough time to operate and maintain the
plant properly during the time the plant was having trouble, along with completing the monitoring.
It should also be noted that during the "rain event" the fecal, TSS, pH and BOD remained normal while
only the Ammonia nitrogen exceeded the permit limit.
The information supplied by the ORC does not support remission.
The ARO recommends no remission.
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions:

Case Number: LV-2012-0209
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 properly 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;
One Daily Max Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 68.66 %.
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 165.33 %.
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 excess solids removal and
additional aeration. It would also include more operating and maintenance time on
site and the cost of additional chemical treatment to manage the Ammonia.
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.

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

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. 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:

Dear Mr. Sheets:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $487.00
($350.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Linville Ridge Country Club.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Linville Ridge Country Club for the month of June 2012.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0062413. The violations which occurred in
June 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Linville Ridge Country Club
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO062413 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

$487.00 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 Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82. 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
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

rare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
tted, 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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
I617-Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 .

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings

Failure—to-exercise-one-o-f-the-options-above-within-thirty-(30)-days-of-receipt-ofthis-letter,as--
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being

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;
One Daily Max Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 68.66 %.
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 165.33 %.
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 excess solids removal and
additional aeration. It would also include more operating and maintenance time on
site and the cost of additional chemical treatment to manage the Ammonia.
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

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee
shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to
complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original
and a copy of the computer -printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must
be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to
the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR.
Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At
such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-
applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements is found on the following web page:
http: / /portal.ncdenr.org/web/­wq/admin/bog/ipu/ edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month
following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the
month following the commencement of discharge.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be
representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar 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
Version 1110912011.1

'DES Permit Standard
P
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a
constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be
used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab
samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling
period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
."Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this
permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Version 1110912011.1

PDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3 of 18
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.
(Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean 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.

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 maybe 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)]:
I. 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.

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

Receiving stream or affected surface waters: UT West Fork
Linville River.
a. Classifications: C-Trout
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba; 03-08-30
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream
uses: The receiving stream is a low flow, spring -fed
headwaters of this tributary. The outfall is at the
discharge of a culvert collecting subsurface flow only.
Downstream uses include golf course irrigation, fish and
wildlife propagation, and secondary recreation. There is
moderate density residential_ development. The West Fork
Linville River is a popular trout fishing stream. Complaints
of algae -like growth from downstream users indicate that the
stream is receiving nutrients, possibly from golf course
fertilization. The Linville River receives a number of
discharges from domestic wastewater treatment plants. The
Linville River is proposed for reclassification to B Trout
from a point 6 miles downstream at Grandmother Creek to
Linville Falls, where it is presently classified as B Trout
HQW.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Gary Johnston, Vice President of Linville Ridge has requested
issuance of NPDES Permit No. NC0062413 for the continued operation
of the existing 15,000 gpd extended aeration plant. Based on
inspections it appears that the facility is operating properly and
can comply with current NPDES Permit limits. The effluent line
was relocated to a positive 7Q10 site in the fall of 1993.
Alternative evaluations for treating the wastewater was conducted
in 1991 and a report was submitted to the Division as required.
No other costs effective alternative for treating the wastewater
was feasible except to relocate the discharge.
It is recommended that the permit be issued.

Dear Sir,
The following is in reference to your request for a
narrative description of the sludge management plan for the
subject wastewater treatment facility.
There are -no sludge handling treatment units on -site,, -nor
is the sludge discharge to the receiving waters.
HydroLogic, Inc. contracts -the pumping of -excess solids as
indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended
solids). The Operator in Responsible -charge or on -site
operator makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As
the MLSS'increases beyond the recommended concentration,
solids.are wasted from the activated sludge system. The
contract hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local
municipality which accepts such or to another wastewatei._
treatment -plant which has experienced an upset and is'in need_
�f
Should.you have any questions regarding the pumping and
.disposal of sludge for this -facility, please contact:
_ - HydroLogic,"Inc. at 704-254-5169.
Since ,
Gary J n on
Exec i Vice President.

To Whom it May Concern:
The following is in reference to your request for a narrative description of the sludge management plan
for the subject wastewater treatment facility.
There are no sludge handling treatment units on -site, nor is the sludge discharge to the receiving waters.
DDK Environmental, Inc. is employed to pump and remove excess solids as indicated by the increasing
MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The Operator in responsible charge or on -site operator makes
this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the recommended
concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract hauler takes the waste
activated sludge to a local municipality which accepts such or to another wastewater treatment plant
which has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding.
Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal of sludge for this facility, please
contact: DDK Environmental, Inc., [phone] (Tom Kilpatrick)

The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
➢ Section A. (2) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data. Proposed Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). The proposed
regulations specify that if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals permittees
must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
➢ Parameter codes have been added to section A. (1) to simplify data entry on DMR forms.
With this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a notice in
newspapers having circulation in the general Avery County area, per EPA requirements. Please provide
your comments, if any, to me no later than 30 days after receiving this draft permit.

RE: Avery Co -Linville Permit inconsistencies?
NC0026654 — Municipal WWTP: weekly average instead of daily maximum limits. First permit issued
5/29/1981. Maximum permitted flow of 70,000 GPD. High flow in receiving stream (2.4 summer 7Q10) yields a lower
IWC, thus less frequent monitoring, fewer WQ limits.
NC0062413 — private WWTP for country club: daily maximum limits. First permit issued 8/21/1985. Maximum
permitted flow of 15,000 GPD. Low flow in receiving stream (0.07 summer 7Q10) means higher IWC, thus more
stringent limits & more frequent monitoring.
NC0039446 — private WWTP for resort: daily maximum limits. First permit issued 11/29/1977. Maximum permitted
flow of 150,000 GPD. High flow in receiving stream (2.2 summer 7Q10) yields a lower IWC, thus less frequent
monitoring, fewer WQ limits.

Charles, I have compared three facilities up for renewal; Linville Ridge, Linville Resort and Crossnore. All three are similar
in that they all basically flow to the Linville River (03-08-30), they are all in Avery Co. They are all domestic, except
Linville Resort does have a small hospital. These facilities are all minors, but do have differing flows. Regardless their
permit parameters, limits and monitoring frequencies are all over the place.
Do you think something is amiss here? If not, please explain to me so I can understand these inconsistencies. I have
attached a table showing the inconsistencies.
Bob I have cc'd you here because you worked on the Linville Resort Permit.

RE: DRAFT permit renewal for NC0062413 / Linville Ridge Country Club
This permit's NH3 limits are water quality limits, which require Weekly monitoring per 15A NCAC 02B.0508.
The original NH3 limits were 1.0/1.8 mg/L, as this facility originally discharged to a zero -flow stream. The discharge was
relocated in 1993 to a stream with positive 7Q10. The NH3 limits were adjusted in 1995 based on a site -specific WQ
model. There have been no changes to the NH3 monthly average limits since then; daily maximum limits were added
later as part of a statewide change mandated by EPA.

RE: Linville Ridge Country Club

LV-2012-0210
Dear Mr. Cranford,
Enclosed you will find the written request for remission for NOV LV-2012-0210 dated December
3, 2012 and received by Linville Ridge on or near the 13th day of December, 2012.
This NOV is in regard to an elevated Ammonia Nitrogen sample monthly average for a daily
maximum result and a monthly average. This facility receives flow from only the community use buildings
to include the Country Club, Half way House, and the Dining Area/Cart Storage. During this month, this
area was inundated with an extremely heavy downpour that lasted only for brief minutes. This deluge
caused the whole sewer collection system to "purge" into the wastewater plant. It brought with it an
extreme amount of trash... possibly shop rags or high quality hand towels. The influent flow box would be
full and overflowing the top into the plant during this event. When the events happened, as I mentioned,
the system was purged. This brought a heavy slug of scoured waste from the lines which increased the
Ammonia Nitrogen level. The following week, the levels had lowered to the monthly average range, but
were not low enough to average into compliance.
This event was brought to the attention of the maintenance staff of Linville Ridge, and they
observed every clean out to confirm that the tops were on and that the strange occurrence did not come
from a broken or missing clean -out. The manholes were also observed to ensure that the water was not
pouring in them and the lids were pulled during the dry time to check for staining. No staining was present.
Since this time, there were several other events during July, 2012 that caused the same condition to occur.
If the operator was there during or shortly after the event, he would remove the rags (usually two 45#
buckets full of rags) and shut down the plant to keep as many solids in the plant as possible and baby the
system through. During the times the operator did not know the event was occurring (night or weekend
events) the facility would be tended early the next day or the following Monday. We do have personnel on
site 7 days per week, and if there was indication the event had occurred overnight, the bar grate was
cleaned on the weekend days as well.
Since this was obviously not a fluke occurrence, the drains at the Cart Wash area was dyed to
ensure that this storm water collection was not tied into the wastewater treatment facility. It was proven to
go to the creek as the creek turned a nice shade of pink. We, our staff as well as the staff of Linville Ridge, .
walked the area during the next large rain event to observe ponding or other storm ;drains. None was', , W
observed. The staff of Linville Ridge have also attempted to find where the down spouts from the. roof
ji
� l

Linville Ridge NCO062413
drains go. Since all of these things required the next short heavy rainfall burst, a few weeks passed
between each observation. Now the heavy rain events have stopped and the majority of the people will
have left the site after Christmas. It was agreed that the roof drains and sewer system would be smoke
tested after the first of the year when there would be limited homeowners. This has been scheduled for
January, 2013.
Due to the challenges originally faced by this facility we would appreciate consideration of a fine.
This is not an issue that has gone by the wayside, efforts are still underway to find and fix the issues.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts and as always appreciate any assistance you can offer.
With regards,
Harry & Juanita James

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).

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$1,587.00 ($1,450.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Linville Ridge Country
Club.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Linville Ridge Country Club for the month of August
2012. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0062413. The violations which
occurred in August 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Linville Ridge Country Club
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO062413 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

$1,587.00 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 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:
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. 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. I (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 Re]
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also reques
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms
be submitted to the following address:

We are pleased to notify you that your facility operated most of the month within your National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. We did experience a result that was greater than
the permit discharge limits. Your permit has both a monthly maximum and a daily maximum. Your
facility exceeded the permit discharge limits on the items listed below:
BOD —
5 DAY
1)
8/21 @ >79.1 mg/l
2)
8/28 @ 82.3 mg/1
3)
8/29 @71.2 mg/l
4)
8/31 @69.2 mg/1
5)
Monthly Average 64.6 mg/l
TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS
1) 8/21 @ 64.4 mg/l
2) 8/28 @ 48.7 mg/l
3) Monthly average @ 36.7 mg/l
AMMONIA NITROGEN
1) 8/14 @ 16.2mg/l
2) 8/21 @ 17.9 mg/1
3) 8/28 @ 19.3 mg/l
4) Monthly average @ 16.0 mg/l
This gave a daily maximum violation on five days and did give a monthly violation. We
determined that the cause of the violation was due to the enormous amount of I & I entering the facility
during this very rainy time. We appreciate the assistance from the maintenance personnel of Linville Ridge
in attempting to locate the source of I & 1. We determined that the flow from the cart barn wash area was
not tied into the wastewater through dye testing. We also know that, when the heavy flows enter, there are
a significant amount of hand towels/rags that enters the facility from an unknown source. We have
determined that there are not any continual flowing toilets, sinks, or hot tubs causing the heavy flows. The
next step is to dye the guttering system to see if this is tied into the facility. As there are only two buildings
tied to the system, this will not be too difficult to conduct. A search of the sites did not reveal any open
clean -outs.
You may receive a monetary fine for this month. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for choosing James & James as your service company.

System Description
A 0.015 MGD wastewater treatment system with bar screen, three 5,000 gallon aeration basins,
clarifier with skimmer and sludge return, sludge digester and with ultraviolet disinfection.
Performance
This system has run very well with few violations.
Violations and corrective actions taken

a. Fecal Coliform
i. 5-12 @ 600 colonies/100mis
i.i. 5-17 @ 480 colonies/100mis
1. We determined the cause of the violation was due to the UV
light bank going out. Lights were ordered and installed
upon arrival. Chlorine tablets were added to the discharge
box but did not give a complete kill due to them having to
dissolve rather than the flow cross over them.
2. June, 2011
a. Fecal Coliform
i. 6-30 @ >600 colonies/100mis
1. We determined the cause of the violation was due to
possible fine particles interfering with the UV lights
ability to sterilize.

Dear Mr. Sheets:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $342.00
($200.00 civil penalty + $142.00 enforcement costs) against Linville Ridge Country Club.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Linville Ridge Country Club for the month of May 2011.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0062413. The violations which occurred in
May 2011 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Linville Ridge Country Club
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO062413 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. 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
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 violations)
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 thepetitioner;
(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:

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;
Two Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit by 50% & 20%.
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 more:time spent on site to
make sure the UV lights were running at maximum levels and were kept clean. It
would also include the cost of UV bulb replacement.
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.
$142.00.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Linville Ridge
NPDES #: NCO062413
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 [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 bqr 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 LTV 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. However, in October one daily maximum for
fecal coliform was exceeded. The UV was cleaned and the next sample indicated the
plant was back in compliance.
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.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units / Process Control Testing / Effluent Data:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 19.0 degrees Celcius
pH = 7.2 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 1.04 mg/1
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal
dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 750 ml/I = 75 %
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the
sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 3.41 mg/I
pH = 7.2 units
Temperature = 19.2 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = N/A --- UV disinfection
Effluent samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory for analyses.
Records & Reports:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 9-29-2007 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 1-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to
expiration. A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was. on -site, along with a
complete copy of the current permit.
The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The wastewater treatment plant was producing a clear effluent and appeared to be in compliance with
permit limits.
The plant is well operated and maintained.
The field testing parameters are as follows:
aeration basin:
dissolved oxygen = 1.43 mg/I
settleable solids = 28%
effluent:
dissolved oxygen = 7.18 mg/I
temperature = 15.3 degrees Celcius
pH = 7.59 units
The Performance Annual Report was on file.
The results of the effluent grab samples taken at 11:50 am were as follows.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand = < 2 mg/I
Total Suspended Solids = < 2.5 mg/I
Fecal Coliform = < 1 colony per 100 ml
The above ground concrete WWTP is in need of some access steps / stairs or a ladder.
The plant sits approximately 3-5 feet above ground with no access steps / stairs or ladder. This poses
access and safety issues.
It is recommended that access steps / stairs or a ladder be installed to provide safe access to the WWTP.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Linville Ridge
NPDES M NC0062413
Date: 1 /.�
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 e NOTIFICATION section above. /

SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection System
Owner & Operator Requirements
Linville Ridge Country Club WWTP
NCO062413
Avery County
Dear Mr. Ford:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%2OSystems/CollectionSVsterhsHome.htmI
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.
