Re: Silver Bullet

Dear Mr. Guerra,
Enclosed you will find the written request for remission for this system. The violations occurred
during the worst winter our company has experienced since the inception. Many systems over many
counties fi-oze in the clarifier and chlorine contact chamber. The following items were true for this system:
1)This facility was just started up from the very extended down time between store renters. The initial
start-up from this delay caused a slug of water from the holding tanks to leave the system.
The attempted repairs to alleviate this problem were:
1) We dug up the lines and replaced the distribution lines allowing for complete treatment of the black
water in the septic tank.
Once the line is finished to the Town of Burnsville wastewater treatment plant, this system will be
tying on. A vast amount of repairs have been made to this system to attempt to release the highest quality
of water possible.
We would appreciate your consideration in this matter.
Thank you,
A"

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2)' The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

f 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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

Hearings:

Dear WILLIAM YOUNG:
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject NPDES Permit.
Staff of the Asheville Regional Office have confirmed that this Permit is no longer
�-� required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES Permit No. NCO073695 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Operating a facility without
a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to
$10,000 per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
the Water Quality staff, Asheville Regional Office at [phone].

suggestion(s) :
Dig up the discharge pipe at the point that wastewater should be
leaving the sand filters to verify that there is a discharge.
If there is no discharge, then check to see if a liner was
installed in the sand filter trenches.
If there is no liner or if it is breached and wastewater is being
ground absorbed, then this system becomes a non-discharging system.
DWQ would need to recind the discharge permit and turn responsibility
over to the Yancey . Co. Health Department.
If there is a discharge coming out of the filters, then the
effluent pipe should be repaired and/or relocated so that samples can
be taken per permit requirements.

Re: Request to rescind permit
Silver Bullet Convenience Store FEB 2 5 2000
NC0073695
1INT SOURCE BRANCH
Date: February 22, 2000
Attached is a request by the owner to rescind the subject permit effective
February 12, 2000. 1 spoke with the owner and operator in responsible charge
and confirmed that this treatment system has not been used for some time now.
When the convenience store began operating a diner this system was installed
and was in use. The owner now leases the store and the new management is not
interested in operating the diner now or in the future. Insurance requirements for
a costly sprinkler system ($5,000) makes this option prohibitive. The service station
restrooms utilize a septic system for waste disposal, which does not require a permit.
Please remove this facility from the computer system. The last DMR will be filed for
February 2000.
Thank you for taking care of this matter.

Authorization to Construct
Sand Filter/Septic Tank
Dear Mr. Young: Yancey County
This is in reference to your application received March 20, 1989, for a Authorization to Construct
for the subject facility.
In a letter dated April 20, 1989, you were advised to provide information regarding the crossing
of the sewer line under the railroad within sixty (60) days to make the application package complete
or your application package would be returned as incomplete. This information was again requested
June 6, 1989. This office received plans and partial specifications from the owner of the railroad in
which this office responded in writing July 17, 1989 indicating that they are acceptable if the
Engineer would provide this information signed and sealed. As of this date this division has not
received a complete description of the crossing (signed and sealed by a North Carolina Professional
Engineer) enabling a determination to be made of whether the encasement can withstand a live load.
Since this sixty (60) day requirement elapsed on June 20, 1989, and the extension September 15,
1989, the Division of Environmental Management must return your application and support
documents as incomplete, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. The
documents are being forwarded to you under separate cover.
When you have obtained the requested information which is needed to make your application
complete, you may submit a new application package. Please be aware that construction of these
facilities without the appropriate approvals will subject you to the enforcement authority of the
Environmental Management Commission.
If you have any question concerning this matter,please contact Mr. William Barlow, telephone
no. 919/733-5083.

Thankyou for your quick response of 8/26/88 reguarding application

You will be receiving documentation of easement rights from Mr. Roger
Young, property owner involved, and Mr. Ron Brazil, of the Dept. of

Concerning the granting of the easement from the Yancey County Rail-

We contend and will show that Yancey County Railroad , at best, has
only an 11 foot easement through our property, and has no legal. rights
to interfere with our plan of compliance with the Division of Environmental
Management.
Therefore, we are requesting an extension of time for our application so
that all proper documentation can be secured and conveyed to your office.

Dear Mr. Foster:
The purpose of this letter is to answer the questions raised
by the Asheville Regional Office's Staff Report. These
clarifications were provided to me by the owner, Mr. William T.
Young. The questions are answered in the order they appear in
the May 16, 1988-correspondence to Mr. Young.
1) The easements across White Town Road have already been
assured by Ron Brazil, N.C.D.O.T. , Yancey County Railroad
has been considered abandoned by the tax office and we do
not forsee this being a problem.
2) Our understanding is that there is adequate room for
trenches parallel to east side of building, as proposed in
the site plan prepared by this office and a different
entrance could be provided to back of building if needed.
3) At the present time a game room occupies this office
space and we have no plans for office spaces in the near
future; however, if these plans change we will consider a
free standing system which is the only logical alternative.
I trust this clarifies your concerns. Please proceed with
processing the permit.

Dear Mr. Young:
The Division of Environmental Management is presently processing your request
for an NPDES permit. The Regional Office staff report has raised several questions
which need be clarified before we can complete our review of the permit application.
The issues are as follows:
(1) There is a railroad and N. C. Highway right-of-way which will have to
be crossed to lay the discharge line to the stream. Easements for
these and other properties will need to be provided. What is the
status of these easements?
(2) As can best be determined, the sand filter trenches will be located
in an existing gravel parking lot and driveway entrance. Because
driving over the sand filters will result in their failure, this area
would be prohibitive for future use as a parking lot. Please
acknowledge that you have taken this fact into consideration in your
design.
(3) You have submitted a design flow based on the discharge from a
convenience store and 25 seat delicatessen. We have received
information that a bank and offices would also be included in this
building. This situation would require a modification in the permit.
Please clarify your intent.
Please answer these questions by letter within thirty (30) days of the date of
this letter. if the application is not made complete within thirty (30) days, it will
be returned to you and may be resubmitted when complete.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
SILVER BULLET FOOD HART, INC.
YANCEY COUNTY, N. C.
DESCRIPTION OF _PROJECT_
The existing Silver Bullet Convenience Store proposes to add
a twenty five seat deli to their existing store. The Yancey
County Health Department has determined that the property does
not lend itself to all. conventional septic tank nitrification
field system.
It is proposed to construct a septic tank sand :filter trench
system and discharge treated wastewater -to Little Crabtree Creek,
a class "C Trout" stream in the French Broad River Basin.
PROPOSED_._TREATMENT WORKS
_ J
Wastewater to be treated will be comprised of domestic
sewage only. Design flow foie tide. proposed restaurant is
j calculFated as f ol.l.ows :
Convenience Store
( 3600 sq. ft. @ gal/1000 sq. ft. ) = 432 GPD
Delicatessen
( 25 seats @ 40 gal/seat, ) - 1 000 GPD
TOTAL 1 , 432 GPD
L Therefore , -the proposed treatment system will consist of the
following:L wi.ng:
L - Existing 1200 Gallon Septic Tank
- One Additional 1200 Gallon Septic Tank
- One Grease Trap ( minimum 800 Gallon Capacity )
- 3 Sand Filtration Trenches 6' X 80'
For a Total Trench Absorbtion Area of 1440 sq. ft.
f Or a 1 . 04 GPD/sq . ft . Appli.cati.on. Rate.

SUMMARY OFWASTEWATER TREATMENT_ALTERNATIVES
Several disposal options were considered prior to selecting
the proposed alternative. The following treatment alternatives
C were considered:
1 ) Septic Tank Nitrification Field-
The existing septic tank system is functioning satisfac-
torily, However; because of it' s capacity it is limited
to serving the existing bathrooms installed for employees
only. Insufficient suitable soil is available for the
rj expansion of the existing septic tank. This alternative
was explored with the Yancey County Health Department and
determined to be impractical .
2) Prefabricated Package Plant -
This alternative was considered, but is more costly than
the selected alternative in terms of capital cost and
operating expenses . It may still be necessary, if during
design phase of .the project soil depth for proposed Sand
Filtration Trenches is less than 48" . A "Package Type"
J_J Treatment Plant" is not economically practical for a 1500
GPD system. The cost for construction of a secondary
plant this size is approximately $ 15 , 000 . 00 .
-� 3) Septic Tank Sand Filtration Trench-
This alternative was selected because it is the most
environmentally sound and economically feasible alter-
native and from an engineering stand point makes best use
of the existing septic tank on the property and replaces
F , the existing drainfield with a sand filtration trench
{L system. A properly designed sand filtration trench system
makes maximum use of the soil on the property and would
not discharge during dry weather in all likelihood. During
wet weather, underdrains would pipe treated effluent to
Little Crabtree Creek, which is classified for this
purpose. During wet weather, the stream has a higher
assimilative capacity and the effect of the discharge from .',
L sand filtration trench during these periods would be neg-
ligible . There is documented evidence that after .the
effluent from a septic tank is filtered through 12` 'of
Lsoil it has no effect upon ground water resources.
L
L

PROJECT__EFFECT,OF,__THE_DISCHARGE UPON_THE_RECEIVING_WATERS.:
—.------.The proposed treatment system will discharge treated
17 wastewater to Little Crabtree Creek, a class "C Trout" stream
in the French Broad River Basin. The treatment system will be
maintained and operated by a licensed wastewater treatment plant
operator. The discharge will comply with the limits contained in
the N. P. D.F. S. Permit when issued and will protect water quality
standards in the receiving stream.
SCALE LOCATION_ PLAN_& PLOT PLAN;
The attached maps show the proposed location of the
wastewater treatment plant on the property and the location of
the proposed discharge.

Dear Mr. Klements:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated
December 10, 1987, along with copy of Petition filed with the
Department of Transportation.
I am unaware of any filings Yancey Railroad Company should
make with this Commission since it is not your company's desire
to abandon service pursuant to G. S. 62-1.18 (a)
i The Petition protests the removal of highway pavement to
expose existing railroad tracks which falls under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Transportation. Any concerns regarding this
Petition should be addressed to that Department.
If you have further questions, please advise.
Yours very truly,

Attention: Mr. Walter S. Klements, President
Gentlemen:
We are enclosing a copy of our letter dated March 20, 1986 you requested
by telephone December 29, 1987. After our conversation, we reviewed.
our records and concluded you may not be subject to the franchise tax
levied under G. S. 105-11.5 for all years but may be subject to the
general business franchise tax levied under G. S. 105-122 for some
years. Also, it appears you filed for bankruptcy status during the
period of deliquency.
In order for us to determine your correct liability, it will be necessary
for you to furnish us details concerning the status of assets and the
income and expen;;e information for all deliquent years. It appears
this request would go back to the year 1978 to present.
If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Very t:ruly yours,

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grants Funds
(municipals only)? NA
2 . Special monitoring requests: As required by regulation.
3 . Additional effluent limits requests:
4. Other:
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I have evaluated the proposed facility and offer the following
comments before issuance to the Authorization to Construct:
1 . There is a railroad and N.C. Secondary Road which will have to
be crossed to reach the stream as indicated on the plans. The
railroad is not shown on the plans but is adjacent to and on
the northwest side of NCSR 1307. Also, the area located
between NCSR 1307 and the property line may not be owned by
Mr. Young. Easements for these or other properties to be
crossed should be submitted prior to issuance of the A to C.
This is also a requirement of Part III Condition H of NPDES
Permit No. NC0073695 .
2 . As can best be determined, the septic tanks and piping to the
sand filter trenches will be located under a driveway and
gravel parking lot. Adequate protection for these facilities
should be provided.
3 . It was noted during the site evaluation that the sand filter
trenches will be located within 50 feet of a marsh area.
This marsh area has a stream piped under it. This was not
indicated on the site plan. Groundwater is probably within 3
feet of the grounds surface. Therefore, it is recommended
that the sand filter trench be lined with material to prevent
wastewater intrusion into the groundwater. This requirement
can be eliminated if information is submitted to show
sufficient separation of the bottom of the filter trench and
the groundwater table.
When these concerns have been properly addressed and answered it
is recommended that the Authorization to Construct be issued.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I have evaluated the proposed facility and offer the following comments:
(1) There is a railroad and N.C. Highway right-of-way which will have to
be crossed to lay the discharge line to the stream. Easements for these
or other properties should be provided. The railroad runs parallel to
NCSR 1307.
(2) As can best be determined, the sand filter trenches will be located in
an existing gravel parking lot and driveway entrance. Because driving
over the sand filters will result in their failure, this area may be
prohibitive for future use as a parking lot.
i
C (3) Convenience store workers indicated that a bank and other offices would
be located in this building. The wastewater from these offices was not
addressed in the permit or engineering proposal.
(4) It was noted during the site evaluation that the sand filter trenches
will. be located within 50 feet of a marsh area. This marsh area has a
stream piped under it. This was not indicated on the site plan, but has
been sketched in. Ground water may be a problem in siting this system.
After these items have been resolved, it is recommended that a permit be
issued.

SUBJECT: Request for rescission of NPDES permit
Silver Bullet Convenience Store
Permit No. NCO088803
Yancey County
Dear Mr.Young:
Pursuant to our discussion today,the subject facility has past due fees totaling$3,440 that include the past four years of
non-payment of the annual fee(see attached).As discussed,the annual fee is required as long as the permit is active,
whether you are discharging actively or not.
Based on our discussion,you indicate that the facility has not been active for 3 years and will be connecting to County
sewer in the very near future.You stated that if or when you open the facility again,you will be connected to County
sewer.
You have stated that you no longer need the permit and wish to have it rescinded.To request rescission,you will need to
send an email to [e-mail] or a letter to me stating that you want the subject permit rescinded.When
requesting rescission, please include the following information:
*Facility name
•NPDES permit number
*Why the discharge permit is no longer needed (connection to County sewer) and,
*When the discharge ceased (last known date of discharge).
You will need to demonstrate that there is a physical disconnect between the facility and the treatment works.Once our
staff verify this disconnect,we can rescind the permit and address the past due fees.
To avoid further action regarding the past due fees,please address this matter within 30 days. If you have any questions

RE: William "Bill" Young
Former Silver Bullet Convenience Store Property
Burnsville (Micaville),NC
Dear Mr. Davidson:
Please be advised that this letter is sent on behalf of Bill Young and the property
referenced above. Mr. Young advises me he is in receipt of correspondence from your office
pertaining to his onsite wastewater system and that Mr. Young is in the process of terminating
his permit with DEQ for this system.
To that end, be advised that Mr. Young has submitted an application to the East Yancey
Water and Sewer District to connect the referenced facility to the County's municipal wastewater
collection and treatment system serving the Micaville area. This application has been approved
and connection to the County system is in progress pending finalization in the coming weeks as
our new system comes online.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
NATHAN R. BENNETT,
Yancey County Manager

Facility information:
Permit Number: NC0073695 Yancey County
Facility: Silver Bullet Convenience Store WWTP
Classification: I Septic Tank — Sub-surface Sand Filter (biological)
Type: 0.0015 MGD Septic Tank — Sub-surface Sand Filter
system consisting of: 800 gallon grease trap;
distribution box (2' x 2' x 2'); pump station; 1200
i
gallon septic tanks; 900 gallon dosing tank; three
distribution laterals; three (6' x 80') sub-surface sand
filters with synthetic liner (20 ml); tablet chlorinator;
tablet dechlorinator; and discharge pipe under NCSR
1307 to Little Crabtree Creek.
Special Conditions: The facility shall connect to the East Yancey Water and
Sewer District, South Toe River WWTP (NPDES Permit
No. NC0087891) within 6 months after the collections
service has become available. The Authorization to
Construct and the supporting documentation was
received by the ARO on November 17, 2008. (Note:
The NPDES permit indicates that: "The permittee will
conduct a site-specific survey for the Appalachian
elktoe mussel when coordinating the exact location of
the outfall pipe with the Division, in order to minimize
direct impact to mussel beds. Additionally the
permittee has agreed to incorporate UV disinfection
and effluent filters, should funding become available
for this alternative prior to plant construction.')
Site description:
Standing at the front of the bldg, the left side (upstairs) is the deli and
the right side is the convenience store / service station.
The realty office is located in the trailer to the left of the deli. It is NOT
connected to the WWTP. They use the restrooms inside the store.
The grease trap (only used for the deli) is located to the left of the
building. The grease trap is checked every 6 months for pumping.
Only deli sandwiches are prepared / served; there is NOT a full kitchen,
due to the size and type of the WWTP.

{
The bathrooms are gravity flow to back parking lot. The wastewater
flows by gravity flow to a small (2' x 2' x 2') distribution box, then to the
septic tank and dosing tank. The flow then goes through three
distribution laterals and onto three lined subsurface sand filters.
There is a Pet Grooming business located around back, in the
downstairs area. The wastewater from this business is pumped to the
same 2' x 2' x 2' distribution box.
Note: No discharge has been observed since 3 laterals were dug up and
cleaned / repaired and reburied during the winter of 2009-2010.
The grass hill area is where the subsurface sand filter system is
located. There are three lined subsurface sand filters.
The discharge pipe goes. under NCSR 1307 to Little Crabtree Creek.

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 AveLi j e
The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,
which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar 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
(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

monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily DischarZe
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum

In response to your telephone call to me on November 25, 2009 1 have discussed the Silver Bullet convenience store's
treatment facility with our Central and Regional offices. We have determined that an Authorization to Construct will not
be required before placing the discharging facility back in service. Our Asheville Regional office staff plans to conduct a
site visit/inspection in the near future to verify this determination.
In the event that the wastewater facility is unable to meet its NPDES permit limits after being placed back in service and
work is necessary at the plant an Authorization to Construct will be required.

• Flow measurement frequency was changed to Instantaneous.
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable
to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt
of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of the North

require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the

BACKGROUND:
Silver Bullet Convenience Store is a proposed Class 11, 100% domestic wastewater treatment
system that will treat waste from deli and food store. The store is currently using septic system,
this septic system is failing and the facility needs a new discharge option. This facility was
permitted under the NPDES permit NC0073695. However, the store operator failed to re-submit
a renewal application and the permit was revoked.
Effluent limitations are based on the Level B model,which was completed on June 3, 2009. The
Division found discharge to be the most economically feasible, environmentally sound
alternative. The Town of Burnsville is planning to construct a sewer line in the vicinity of the
facility in the near future. Therefore, a special condition was added to the permit that requires the
facility to connect to the sewer when it becomes available.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Draft Permit to Public Notice: July 1, 2009 (est.)
Permit Scheduled to Issue: August 24, 2009 (est.)

Dear Mr.Young:
In accordance with Division policy, we must hereby return the attached Engineering
Alternative Analysis. After a preliminary review by the NPDES staff, the Division has determined
that the EAA package lacks the following items:
Complete evaluation of discharge alternatives. The Division requires applicants for
new and expanding discharge permits to fully document all alternatives to surface water
discharge (15A NCAC 21-1.0105 (c)(2)). Each discharge alternative should be thoroughly
evaluated and each conclusion should be substantiated by appropriate documents and
itemized budgets. The Engineering Proposal from Dobson Engineering that you have
submitted with your application is not sufficient to satisfy our requirements. You need to
evaluate the following alternatives according to the EAA Guidance that you have
downloaded from the internet: connection to the existing treatment plant, land
application, and wastewater reuse. L

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The existing Silver .Bullet Convenience Store proposes to add
a twenty five seat deli to their existing store. The Yancey
County Health Department has determined that the property does
not lend itself to all - conventional septic tank nitrification
field system.
It is. proposed to construct a septic tank sand filter trench
system and discharge treated wastewater to Little Crabtree Creek,
a class "C Trout" stream in the French Broad River Basin.
PROPOSED TREATMENT WORKS
Wastewater to be treated will be comprised of domestic
sewage only. Design flow for the proposed restaurant is
calculated as follows:
Convenience Store 3 (o 0 X �-o
( 360.9,sq. ft. @ gal/1000 sq. ft. ) = 432 GPD
o0
Delicatessen
( 25 seats @ 40 gal/seat ) = 1 ,000 GPD
TOTAL 1 , 432 GPD
Therefore, the proposed treatment system will consist of the
following:
Existing 1200 Gallon Septic Tank
- One Additional 1200 Gallon Septic Tank
- One Grease Trap ( .minimum 800' Gallon Capacity )
- 3 Sand Filtration Trenches 6' X 80'
For a Total Trench Absorbtion Area of 1440 sq. ft.
Or a 1 .04 GPD/sq. ft. Application Rate.

r
SUMMARY OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES
Several disposal options were considered prior to selecting
the proposed alternative. The following treatment alternatives
were considered:
1) Septic Tank Nitrification Field-
The existing septic tank system is functioning satisfac-
torily, However; because of it' s capacity it is limited
to serving the existing bathrooms installed for employees
only. Insufficient suitable soil is available for the
expansion of the existing septic tank. This alternative
was explored with the Yancey County Health Department and
determined to be impractical:
2) Prefabricated Package Plant -
This alternative was considered, but is more costly than -
the selected alternative in terms of capitol cost and
operating expenses.. It may still be necessary, if during
design phase of •the project soil depth for proposed Sand
Filtration Trenches is less than 48" . A "Package Type
Treatment Plant" is not economically practical for a 1500
GPD system. The cost for construction of a secondary
plant this size is approximately $ 15,000 .00 .
3) Septic Tank Sand Filtration Trench-
This alternative was selected because it is the most
environmentally sound and economically feasible alter-
native and from an engineering stand point makes best use
of the existing septic tank on the property and replaces
the existing drainfield with a sand filtration trench
system. A properly designed sand filtration trench system
makes maximum use of the soil on the property and would
not discharge during dry weather in all likelihood. During
wet weather, underdrains would pipe treated effluent to
Little Crabtree Creek, which is classified for this
purpose. -- During wet weather, the stream has a higher
assimilative capacity and the effect of the discharge from
sand filtration trench during these periods would be neg-
ligible. There is documented evidence that after the
effluent from a septic tank is filtered through .12" of
soil it has no effect upon ground water resources.

PROJECT EFFECT�OF_THE DISCHARGE UPON THE RECEIVING_WATERE:
The proposed treatment system will discharge treated
wastewater to Little Crabtree Creek, a class "C Trout" stream
in .the French Broad River Basin. The treatment system will be
maintained and operated by a licensed wastewater treatment plant
operator. The discharge will comply with the limits contained in
the N.P.D.E. S. Permit when issued and will protect water quality
standards in the receiving stream.
SCALE LOCATION PLAN & PLOT PLAN:
The attached maps show the proposed location of the
wastewater treatment plant on the property and the location of
the proposed discharge.

Subject: NPDES Permit renewal request

Return#2118
Dear Mr.Young:
In accordance with Division policy, we must hereby return the attached permit application and check
(#7199) for$400.00 received on April 24,2001. After a preliminary review by the NPDES staff,the Division
has determined that the application package lacks the following items:
■ Justification for reinstatement of the permit. The previous permit for your facility was rescinded in
March 2000 (see attached letter). Your application must therefore be treated as a request for a new
discharge, not a renewal of an active permit. Why is this discharge necessary, and why did you ask for
rescission of your previous permit?
■ Complete analysis of discharge alternatives. The Division requires applicants for new permits to fully
document all alternatives to surface water discharge (15A NCAC 2H.0105 (c)(2)). The enclosed guidance
document will assist you in preparation of the analysis.
■ Local Government Review Form. This form must be completed for any new discharge of domestic
wastewater. A copy of the form is enclosed.
If you wish to reapply for a permit,submit the items listed above and the items returned to you in one package. The
Division's EAA guidance document and fee schedule have been enclosed with this letter.
If you have any questions about the NPDES permitting process, contact me at the telephone number or
address listed at the bottom of this page. Questions about permitting restrictions unique to your area should
be directed to Wanda Frazier of the Asheville Regional Office at [phone].
