Response Action Plan Updates
March 30, 2006
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately
owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains,
low-pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and
appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment
plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a
perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not.owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page One of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system
and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a) and 1(2) (b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collectior>'system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).

A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality staff member (not facsimile or voicemail) at
your regional DWQ office during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call [phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as
optional under Condition 1(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from
http://h2o.enr.siate.nc.us/ndceu/ from the Collection Systems area.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The period for submittal of both Part I
and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or Jeff Poupart of the
Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality at [phone] extension 527. If you need additional information concerning this permit,
please contact Marie Doklovic in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit
at [phone] extension 371.
Sincerely,
Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

RALEIGH
SYSTEM -WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Transylvania Utilities, Inc.
Transylvania County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 28.12 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 6.33 miles of force main, 17 duplex
or greater pump stations', and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances required to make a
complete and operational wastewater collection system to serve Transylvania Utilities - Connestee Falls
and any deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to the application received on September
26, 2005, and in conformity with the documents referenced therein and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2010 and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Connestee Fails # 1
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0024295) prior to being disposed of in accordance with the
treatment plant permit. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or
modification of your NPDES permit(s).
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all
times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In
the event that the wastewater collection system fails to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions, including
actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction
of additional or replacement sewer lines and/or equipment.
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be reported
to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were caused by severe
natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee demonstrates through properly
signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00219

a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to
the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated
wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate back-up equipment, or
an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision is not satisfied if, in the exercise
of reasonable engineering judgment, the Permittee should have installed auxiliary or
additional collection system components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities,
adequate back-up equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or.
b) the SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management, operation and
maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system facilities or components
(e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth or
adequately controlling and preventing infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance;
or installation of adequate back-up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the criteria
of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with the spill report
required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be considered for immunity from
enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current Division approved form, shall be used
for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of proof that the above criteria have been met.
3. The Permittee shall establish its authority to require new sewers be properly constructed; to
ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and service laterals; to address flows from
satellite systems and to take enforcement action as required by Condition 1(4).
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
targeted at both residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and
implement an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which
the Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the terms
of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
The Permittee shall develop and implement an inspection and enforcement program for fats, oils
and grease by June 30, 2006 for any non-residential grease generating facilities, as applicable.
A copy of the program materials shall be provided to the Asheville Regional Office, Surface
Water Protection Section to show compliance with this condition. If there are no non-residential
grease generating facilities connected to the system, a letter stating such shall be submitted to
our Asheville Regional Office within the same time frame. This schedule does not include the
educational component of the program. Educational materials shall be distributed at least
annually, with increasing frequency and targeted areas as grease related blockages are noted.
S. The Permittee shall develop and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP should
address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP should typically
cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of the project area,
description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies (over a reasonable period) and
forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the CIP.
The Permittee shall update the Capital Improvement Plan to contain all the requirements of this
permit condition by December 30, 2006. A copy of the Capital Improvement Plan shall be
provided to the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance
with this condition.
6. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are allowable for
portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the wastewater treatment facility.
2 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00219

ermittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station. If one
, pumps in a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of repairing or
sing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump shall be installed
u.l as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it shall be replaced immediately.
8. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station identifier and
an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can initiate or perform
emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per day, seven days per week
can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number shall be coupled with
instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the visual alarm illuminates, if the
audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
9. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A NCAC 2H
.0219(h)(7).
10. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with pump
stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication system) shall
have both audible and visual high water alarms. The alarms shall be weather-proof and placed
in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the construction of pump stations that
included high water alarms in the description must maintain the alarms even if simple telemetry
(i.e. notification of an alarm condition initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
11. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion -resistant and components in
close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion -resistant coating or
encasement.
12. All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the existing
utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of Condition (1) (2) of this

Dear Mr. Davis,

JUL 1 Q 201E
Water OLMI V Rn{�.ior+al Operations
Ah^ -; ce
I am writing to provide further information regarding the above mentioned SSO that occurred on July 3,
2018.
We currently have three major lift station replacement projects underway in Connestee Falls
Subdivision. The projects consist of upgrading and replacing stations 1,6 and 10 in the Connestee Falls
subdivision. Work has commenced and will take approximately 5-6 weeks at an estimated capital cost of
approximately $ 877K dollars before the projects are completed and online. Part of the process involved
in the replacement of these stations was to install by-pass pumps at the stations so work could be
performed at each of the sites with no disruption in service to our customers.
Our area operator received a call on July 3rd at approximately 7:23 am concerning sewer coming from a
manhole at our lift station # 1 located adjacent to Lake Ticcoa. Upon investigation the operator noticed
the by-pass pumps were not operating at lift station# 1. The operator proceeded to put the pumps in
the hand position and pump the station down to stop the overflow. After further investigation it was
determined that the number # 1 by-pass pump had a heat sensor failure and we believe this caused the
pump to lockout and not operate as intended. The pump was repaired and the temporary by-pass
pumps were wired into our existing telemetry panels to alert us of any problems that may arise going
fo rwa rd.
• 4944 Parkway Plaza Blvd. Ste 375 • Charlotte, North Carolina 28217 e 800-525-7990

The amount of overflow was an estimation and applying the following formula. Average wastew
treatment plant flow for two days = 272,000 GPD/10 lift stations = 27,200 gallons pumped from
station. Lift station # 1 receives flow from (3) other stations. 27,200 gallons x 4 stations = 108,800
gallons /24 hrs. = 4533 gph x 3hrs = 13599 gallons overflowed. Regrettably, the overflow did reach Lake
Ticcoa.
Fecal samples were collected upstream and downstream and at the location of the spill. The analytical
fecal results upstream were 47 cfu/100 ml and downstream results were 109 cfu/100 ml and at the site
was 9 cfu/100 ml. In addition, dissolved oxygen readings were taken from the lake. Dissolved oxygen
readings showed the lake levels at 7.1 mg/I upstream, 7.1 mg/I downstream and at the spill site 7.3
mg/I. Ph samples were also collected and results upstream were 6.5 s.u., 6.8 s.u. downstream and 6.8
s.u. at the spill site There, were, no known fish kills or other known impacts to the tributary. The
overflow area was`properly cleaned up. White hydrated lime was applied to the affected area to raise
the pH and kill any pathogenic organisms. There was no known impact to public health. A press release
regarding the SSO was issued to Transylvania Times on 7/5/2018. 1 have enclosed a copy of that
document for your review.
The staff of CWS Systems takes great pride in the compliance and environmental stewardship of our
facility. Please accept this letter as demonstration that the actions taken were prompt and complete and
that the SSO was unintentional and temporary. Extensive capital investments are being made to our
collections system and we would like to request that an NOV not be issued since we are being proactive
in upgrading/replacing stations that are near their end of life cycle.
Should you have any further questions or if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to
contact me at [e-mail] or by telephone at 704-319-0523.

Immediate Press Release
NOTICE OF DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED SEWAGE
Carolina Water Service Inc., of North Carolina (CWSNC) had an accidental discharge of
an estimated 13,596 gallons of untreated wastewater from our Connestee Falls lift station # 1
located on Lake Ticcoa in Connestee Falls subdivision, Brevard NC. CWSNC personnel were

Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Konsul:
Secretary
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
On May 9, 2016, Land Davidson and I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Wastewater Collection
System that serves Connestee Falls. Based on records reviewed, on -site visits to system components and interviews with
staff, the Wastewater Collection System was determined to be in compliance with permit WQCS00219. A report is
attached for your records with findings summarized. The collection system appears to be well maintained and operated.
The following items were noted during the inspection:
E Due to recent paving projects, many of the manholes in the collection system could not be readily accessed. The
ORC should be able to easily open manholes for visual inspection and maintenance.
• Continue to operate and maintain the collection system in compliance with the requirements outlined in 15A
NCAC 02T for Wastewater Collection Systems.
The assistance of Mr. David Medling and his staff during the inspection was greatly appreciated. If there are questions or
additional information is needed regarding system operation, maintenance, or permit questions, please feel free to contact
me at 828-296-4500. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.

A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sar
Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined
considering the criteria listed in condition I(3)(a) and I(3)(b) of the permit and all other relevant
information available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the
permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the collection system must be
maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
l repo ,Ole SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amo-unt
thcTedehes_surfa'ce water'"( ncluding through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure
to use for reporting`SSOs to,,, the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Resources (DWR) staff member (not email,
facsimile, or voice:nail) at your regional DWR office during regular business hours
'sga.,-(Mgnday,o,.Fiday 8AM to 5PM) as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
a,...a.:�.:.�after the;SS.O is Icuown or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call
�(800) 858-036$:IDR"
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current
Division approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, please utilize form CS-SSO consisting of two parts.
Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always been necessary.
Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I(3) of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at
http://portal.nedenr.org/web/Wq/swp/ps/es/ssorMort.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be
issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to
submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Fonn CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWR staff will review the justification claim and determine if
enforcement action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill
is very comprehensive. Begin using this form immediately to report SSOs from the collection
system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant
until further notice. The time flame for submittal of both Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five
days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Perinittee to enforcement action.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the
receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
RALEIGH
SYSTEM -WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of
North Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO THE
Transylvania Utilities, Inc.
Transylvania County
.,_ FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 28.1 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 6.5 miles of force main, 17
duplex pump stations, and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances required to make a
complete and operational wastewater collection system to serve the Transylvania Utilities, Inc.
and any deemed permitted satellite communities pursuant to the application received June 4,
2013, and in conformity with the documents referenced therein and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from December 1, 2013 until November 30, 2021, and shall be
subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Connestee
Falls Wastewater Treatment Facility #1 and #2 (NC0024295 and NC0088943) prior to
being- disposed into the receiving stream. This collection system permit will be
referenced upon renewal or modification of your NPDES permit(s).
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and
operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any
contamination of groundwater. In the event that the wastewater collection system fails to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall
take immediate corrective actions, including actions that may be required by the Division
of Water Resources (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement
sewer lines and/or equipment.

The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be
reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were
caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee
demonstrates through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
a. The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible
alternatives to the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate
back-up equipment, or an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision
is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment, the
Permittee should have installed auxiliary or additional collection system
components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities, adequate back-up
equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b. The SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors
beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been
prevented by the exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management,
operation and maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system
facilities or components (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection
facilities to accommodate growth or adequately controlling and preventing
infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance; or installation of adequate back-
up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the
criteria of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with
the spill report required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be
considered for immunity from enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current
Division approved form, shall be used for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of
proof that the above criteria have been met.
4. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority'to require new sewers be
properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and
service laterals; to address flows from. satellite systems and to take enforcement action
as required by Condition 1(5).
5. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
that shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both
residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and implement
an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the
Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the
terms of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
6. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP
should address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP
should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement,
description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies
(over a reasonable period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the
CIP.

7. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are
allowable for portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the
wastewater treatment facility.
8. The Permittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station.
If one of the pumps in a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of
repairing or replacing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump
shall be installed as soon as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it
shall be replaced immediately.
9. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station
identifier and an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can
initiate or perform emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per
day, seven days per week can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number
shall be coupled with instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the
visual alarm illuminates, if the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
10. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A
NCAC 02T .305(h)(4).
11. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with
pump stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication
system) shall have both audible and visual high water alarms. The alarms shall be
weather-proof and placed in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the
construction of pump stations that included high water alarms in the description must
maintain the alarms even if simple telemetry (i.e. notification of an alarm condition
initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
12. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion -resistant and
components in close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion -
resistant coating or encasement.
13. All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the
existing utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of
Condition (1)(2) of this permit.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Upon classification of the collection system by the Water Pollution Control System
Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and

c. Inspecting and lubricating pumps and other mechanical equipment according to
the manufacturer's recommendations; and
d. Verifying the proper operation of the alarms, telemetry system and auxiliary
equipment.
5. For each pump station without pump reliability (i.e. simplex pump stations serving more
than a single building or pump stations not capable of pumping at a rate of 2.5 times the
average daily flow rate with the largest pump out of service), at least one fully
operational spare pump capable of pumping peak flow shall be maintained on hand.
6. The Permittee shall maintain on hand at least two percent of the number of pumps
installed, but no less than two pumps, that discharge to a pressure sewer and serve a
single building, unless the Permittee has the ability to purchase and install a
replacement pump within 24 hours of first knowledge of the simplex pump failure or
within the storage capacity provided in any sewer line extension permit.
7. Rights -of -way and/or easements shall be properly maintained to allow accessibility to the
wastewater collection system unless the Permittee can demonstrate the ability to gain
temporary access in an emergency situation where existing land -use conditions do not
allow the establishment and maintenance of permanent access. In this case, the
Permittee shall continue to observe the lines visually, utilize remote inspection methods
(e.g. CCTV) and use the opportunity of drier conditions to perform further inspections
and necessary maintenance.
8. The Permittee shall assess cleaning needs, and develop and implement a program for
appropriately cleaning, whether by hydraulic or mechanical methods, all sewer lines. At
least 10 percent of the wastewater collection system, selected at the discretion of the
ORC, shall be cleaned each year. Preventative cleaning is not required for sewer lines
less than five years old unless inspection otherwise reveals the need for cleaning or
cleaning is required by a sewer line extension permit.

Subject: Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Connestee Falls
Permit No. WQCS00219
Wastewater Collection System
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Sisserson:
Thank you for taking the time to send us your September 3, 2008 E-mail in which you express
concern about the Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) which occurred at Connestee Falls on August
28, 2008. 1 think you and I have had the pleasure of meeting one time. I was looking at one of
the sewage pumping stations at Connestee Falls when you came down and expressed an
interest in a portable emergency power generator parked at the pumping station. The SSO you
have interest in occurred when a split developed in the force main serving sewage Pump Station
Number 10. In accordance with your request I am sending you a copy of the written report
submitted by Transylvania Utilities for this particular spill.
Transylvania Utilities has for some time been taking steps to reduce the potential for SSOs from
the collection system serving Connestee Falls. In 2006 and 2007 Transylvania Utilities replaced
6,565 feet of sewage pumping station force main. This project replaced all of the force main
serving Pump Station number 1 and half of the force main associated with Pump Station number
10. In 2008 the company replaced 2,500 feet of force main serving Pump Station number 6.
In an orderly process and as funds are available Transylvania Utilities is upgrading its sewage
pumping station force mains. You might be interested in knowing that Section 4.01 of this
Division's "Minimum Design Criteria for the Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains" states
that PVC and High Density Polyethylene are satisfactory material for use assewage pumping
station force mains.
In your E-mail you requested copies of Transylvania Utilities SSO written reports back as far as
the year 2005. We have these reports on file and you are welcome to come in and make copies.
When making copies the first 25 pages are free. After that you will be charged 2.5 cents per
page.

VnhiHn//#i

I am told that in the future Transylvania Utilities will notify all property owners when a SSO occurs
which reaches surface waters. Nothing about this situation deserves the special investigation
you requested. To the contrary Transylvania Utilities does a good job of operating the collection
system serving Connestee Falls. Should you feel the need to discuss this matter in greater detail
I encourage you to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,

This is a follow-up to my verbal complaint via telephone to Mr. Price in your Asheville Office on
9/2/08. It concerns an sso that occurred on 8/29/08 into the surface waters of Lake Ticoa in
Connestee Falls, Brevard. It was caused by a sewer leak from the system of Transylvania
Utilities,Inc. In my conversation with Mr. Price, he read from the report filed by this utility. He
stated it occurred on 8/29/08. The spill was 500 gallons and leaked into Lake Ticoa and Carson
I of 2 9/9/2008 9:08 AM

Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: SSO complaint]]
Creek. It was caused by a break in a high pressure pvc line. Mr. Price stated that pvc pipe should
not be used in high pressure lines, that a shift in the soil from heavy rains which we eIxperienced
could have been the cause of the break If metal pipe had been used this would not have occurred.
He was not sure when this was mandated and whether Transylvania Util. was grand fathered in.
My complaint is as follows. I would like your agency to review this accident and the report and .

Re: Connestee Falls Collection System
Permit - # WQCS00219
Compliance Inspection 1/3108
Dear Mr. Davis,
We are in receipt of your letter dated January 7, 2008 concerning the above referenced matter. We respond as
follows;
1) It is my understanding that our local Operating Manager David Medling showed you the lift station signs.
While not posted, they were available and have been installed. We are in the process of changing our
company logo and new signs will be installed as soon as they arrive.
2) The collection system construction drawings and maps show all the required information as you mentioned
even though they are on separate drawings. We will work towards getting all the data on one composite
map in the future as you suggest. We believe our information satisfies the requirement but acknowledge it
would be easier to have it all on one map.
3) The annual report for 2006 was completed and mailed to Raleigh on 2/28/07 and received by (McLeod) on
3/1/08 at 10:19 am. The 2007 annual report will be mailed this week. I have enclosed years 2006 and 2007
for your review. We apologize we were unable to provide these to you at your inspection but they have
been done.
4) We have a collection system ORC designation form on file and I have attached a copy for your reference.
We have also sent an additional copy to (Raleigh).
Should you have any further questions or if I can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 704-525-7990, ext 218.

Wastewater Collection System
Transylvania County.
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Attached is the report resulting from the Transylvania Utilities' Collection System Permit
Compliance Evaluation Inspection which I conducted on January 3, 2008. Transylvania Utilities is
doing a good job of maintaining and operating the wastewater collection system serving
Connestee Falls. We remain concerned about the quality of the remaining PVC force mains
serving the various pump stations at Connestee. Twice in the year 2007 SSOs. occurred as a
result of force main failure.
The following are areas where collection system permit requirements are not being met:
(1) No sewage pumping station is equipped with an emergency notification sign meeting
permit requirements. Such signs must identify the station, give instructions for reporting
emergencies, and give a 24-hour contact telephone number.
(2) The map for the collection system at Connestee Falls does not meet all requirements for
collection system maps in that pipe size, pipe material, flow direction, pipe age, and pump
station capacities are not shown. It is recognized that construction drawing are available,
on the site, which present this information; not the less this information needs to be
presented on the map in order to honor the intent of the collection system permit. As I
have done at other locations, I would suggest GPS mapping as the best way to capture
the required information. Please let me know your intentions in this matter.
(3) Transylvania Utilities, Inc. could not show evidence of having submitted an annual report
in accordance with the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 C.

Dear Mr. Konsul:
A review has been conducted of Transylvania Collection System's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Reports submitted by Transylvania Utilities, Inc. This review has shown the
subject facility to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00219 and
G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The violation/s that occurred are summarized below;
Area
Violation Date
Description
Violation Type
SSO (Sewer Overflow)
08/17/2012
Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Discharge
600 Gallons into Lake Tiaroga
Without Valid
Permit
Remedial actions should be taken to correct this problem. The Division of Water Quality may pursue
enforcement action for this and any additional violations of State law. You should address the causes of
noncompliance and all actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. This spill was the
result of a break in the pipe and was the second SSO into Lake Tiaroga within two months. Efforts should
be made to insure that maintenance staff and contractors have knowledge as to the location of all sewer
lines when working within close proximity to these lines.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Asheville Regional Staff or Jeff
Menzel at 828-296-4658.

Incident # 201100814
Lot 9 Agahiha Lane SSO of 4/11/11
Dear Mr. Edwards,
We are in receipt of your letter concerning the above referenced item and we respond as follows.
During our routine inspection of the Connestee Falls collection system on 4/11/11, the operator found manhole 6-85
overflowing behind Unit 28 (lot 9) on Agahiha Lane at approximately 11:30 am. Our operations staff acted
immediately and called contractors to pump down the manhole and jet clean the sewer main. The area operator
found a pier that supports the sewer main at the creek crossing had settled. The pier settling caused a crack in the
sewer pipe and a low spot in the main which allowed debris to collect. The crack also allowed roots to enter the
mainline. The line was jetted and the roots and debris were removed. The blockage was cleared at approximately 4:00
pm on 4/11/11.
The sewer main was previously cleaned in August of 2009 as part of the collections systems 10 % annual sewer
maintenance cleaning and again in October of 2010. A 15' section of sewer main was replaced to remove the low area
and a pier was erected to prevent any future settling of the sewer main. Approximately 400' of line was televised to
check the sewer main upstream and downstream of the problem area and no other issues were found. An estimated
825 gallons of sewage overflowed and reached an unnamed tributary that feeds Lake Ticcoa but there was no impact
to the lake or tributary and n fish kills of any kind. Dissolved oxygen sample readings were taken and the results were
15.0-16.3 mg/I in Lake Ticcoa. In addition pH samples were taken and readings were between a range of 7.47 s.u. and
7.53 s.u. in the lake. Fecal sa ple results that were received from the laboratory on 4/14/11 showed analytical results
were 27cfu/100ml to 11cfu/100ml. There was no known impact to public health.
Should you have any further questions or if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me at
704-319-0523.

As per my earlier conversation with Mr. Roy Davis, the replacement of a portion of this force main is scheduled for
this year (2009) and we have already begun the bidding process to obtain costs and select a contractor. Once a
contractor has been selected we will move forward and order all the necessary materials and start construction. We
anticipate construction beginning sometime around the end of March, weather permitting.

Coleen: The ARO issued one NOV to Transylvania Utilities for a SSO occurring on June 18, 2008, no
response was requested and we are not considering enforcement.
I have discussed the need for a system map with Utilities, Inc.'s Regional Manager. We left it that I
needed to see substantial progress toward a system map at time of my next inspection.
I do not feel that I & I is an issue for the reason that the Company has reported no I & I based Sanitary
Sewer Overflows.
I did not take away a copy of Utilities, Inc. (formerly Carolina Water Services) Capital Improvements
Plan the last time I was at Connestee Falls. Transylvania Utilities is competing with many other water
and sewer systems for capital money. Between June 26 and July 22, 2008 Utilities, Inc. replaced
2,330 feet of the 6-inch diameter PVC force main serving Pump Station # 6 with 6-inch diameter
ductile iron at Transylvania Utilities..
The operating staff at Transylvania Utilities is doing a good job of taking care of the collection
system serving Connestee Falls. The system experienced only two SSOs this year. They know what
the most serious problems are and attempt to get funding to address those problems. But as I have
already said this one system is competing with many other water and sewer system owned by
Utilities, Inc. for capital money.
I have taken the liberty of editing your proposed E-mail/letter (see attached). I intended to send you a
version in which the suggested changes were highlighted but alas my computer skill were not up to the
task. Regards, Roy Davis

Roger/Roy - please find the email I intend to send to Mr. Sisserson. I need additional information

mapping? Please make this a priority to review and respond. We now have many other parties
that have been engaged. Please make sure I have accurately characterized this situation. Also -
have you looked at all to determine if I&I is an issue or not and are they taking steps to address if

Dear Mr. Sisserson,

I am responding to your email to me of September 26, 2008. I apologize for not getting a
response back to you sooner, but I needed to investigate the situation to understand the issues.
As you know, Transylvania Utilities, owned by Utilities, Inc.; operates and maintains the
wastewater collection system located in Connestee Falls. This system, subject to a permit from
the Division of Water Quality, consists of approximately 28 miles of gravity sewers, 6 miles of
forcemain and 17 pump stations. As with all mechanical and physical structures, it can be subject
to failure. We issue permits with the express intention of ensuring that owners address the
operation issues to ensure failures -are prevented to the extent, practicable and are appropriately
addressed when they do occur. We consider each situation of failure to determine if enforcement
actions are appropriate and also to determine if the necessary correction actions are being taken.
You are correct that when spills occur, there are notice requirements that must be followed.
Those requirements are different depending on the size of the spill. All spills must be reported to
the Division and to the best of our knowledge they have been properly reported. Since these spills
almost always occur in areas where measurement is not possible, the owner is required to provide
best available judgment on the size of the spill. Such judgment is based on the size of the line, the
number of connections, the time of the occurrence of the spill, the estimated time of the spill
before it was stopped, etc., all factors which affect the amount of wastewater with potential to be
discharged. We acknowledge that it is not an exact science; however, we do, based on our
experience and information available to us, make a determination as to whether we concur with .
the estimate provided to us. Spills that exceed a certain size are, in fact, required to be reported in
the news media. Per your request, attached are the public notices for the spills that met the size
criteria.
In addition to different public reporting requirements, the information we require is different for
different types of spills. Different types of spills do occur. There are spills which are driven by
inflow and infiltration (leaky systems which take in water when it rains), those caused by
blockages of the line (roots, grease, materials sent down drains from homes), and those caused by
failure of the infrastructure itself (pump failures, line failures, etc.) According to the information
we have, the majority of the spills that have occurred in the Utilities, Inc. system in Connestee
Falls. have been related to splits in the forcemain (line failures), not to infiltration and inflow.
Therefore, the section of the form to which you refer in your email, would not be required to be
filled out.
We continue to work with Utility, Inc. to ensure that appropriate actions are being taken to address
the problems. The company has invested money in the replacement of the lines and has replaced
1.25 miles of the forcemain as a result of the problems. We have also issued a Notice of Violation
for ?????. We also perform inspections which include verifying information in the field. For
example during our January 3, 2008 inspection we checked their pump station visitation logs and
verified that they have been performing the required monthly inspections of the pump station
floats. We have also notified the company that they need to perform mapping of their system to
ensure they have adequate documentation of the location of the system, as we have found that
construction documents relied upon are not always an accurate depiction of where a system is
located.
I find that the staffs actions have been appropriate with regards to this system. We will continue

Dear Mr. Sisserson,
I am responding to your email to me of September 26, 2008. I apologize for not
getting a response back to you sooner, but I needed to investigate the situation to
understand the issues.

All spills reaching the State's surface waters must be reported to the Division and
to the best of our knowledge they have been properly reported. Since these spills
almost always occur in areas where measurement is not possible, the owner is
required to provide best available judgment on the size of the spill. Spills not
reaching the State's surface waters must be reported if those spills exceed 1,000
gallons. Such judgment is based on the size of the line, the number of connections,
the time of the occurrence of the spill, the estimated time of the spill before it
was stopped, etc., all factors which affect the amount of wastewater: with potential
to be discharged. We acknowledge that it is not an exact science; however, we do,

Ms. Sullens:
Attached is an email I sent to Roger Edwards and a cc to you. As of today I have still not received
answers to my questions. I contacted the Transylvania Times and they have no record of a press release
requested for a 10,000 gal. sso on 5/4/05 nor do they have any record of a public notice for a 50,000 gal.
sso that occurred on 3/28/06. Both of these are required by statute. Please review the attached email
and forward a written reply to the questions I have put forward in this email. It appears to me that not
once has enforcement action been taken against Transylvania Utilities by your Division for these
violations of your statute nor has Part II of your sso reports been filled out completely so as your Division
can decide whether further enforcement action is required for each and every sso report as stated in Par
GS. 143-215.C(b). This statute is written at the bottom of the SSO reports. It does appear that your
Division and its personnel have failed to follow statute and have shown nonfeasance and malfeasance in
performing their duties

Mr. Davis:
Thank you for your assistance in copying the SSO reports yesterday in your office. I reviewed
your letter to me dated 9/10/08 and the SSO's for the years 2005 thru 2008. There have been
thirteen sso's reported to you by Transylvania Utilities in this time period, nine of which were
caused by ruptures of their 6" pvc forced main resulting in leaks from 500 gallons to 50,000
gallons. Whether you think they are doing a "good job of operating the collection system serving
Connestee Falls" is frankly immaterial to me. That's your opinion. It should also be .not your
Department's concern whether they have funds available for upgrading its forced mains. For
your information, they were granted a large increase in rates by the Board of Public Utilities in
2007. 1 would suggest you do a review of their finances before deciding whether or not they have
funds available. Since July 2005, 1 have lived in Connestee Falls. Not once have I ever been
notified by Transylvania Utilities of an sso. There have been thirteen sso reports since then. Why
has their notification system not been tested or used since 2005 and why were not all property
owners notified. They had my number on their bills. I am not interested in their excuses and your
excuses for them.
In reviewing the sso reports, I have the following questions:
On all reports, I do not see Part 11 filled out. psw.er tVeya' l itag_ _pale
Hassthere been any flow studies to determine" 1/1 " problems in the collection system at the SSO
1 of 2 9/26/2008 1:33 PM

PI!ation? Has the line been smoke tested or videoed in the last year? Are there 1/1 related
projects in your Capital Improvement Project. Do you suspect any major sources of inflow or
cross connections with storm sewers? Have all lines contacting surface waters in the SSO
location and upstream been inspected recently. What other corrective actions are planned to
prevent future 1/1 related SSOs at this location?" Please have the Utility Co. answer these
questions and forward them to me.
In regard to incident #200501435 dated 5/24/05, an sso of 10,000 gallons reached surface
waters. According to Par GS. 143-215.1C(b), any spill over 1000 gallons or more into surface
waters must be reported in a press release issued by by responsible party within 48hrs, to all
print and electronic news media providing coverage in the county. Was this done and if so
please pfv Jdam-weTe—omi-e-s-kof same and to who they were sent.
In regard to incident # 200600908 dated 3/28/06, an sso of 50,000 gallons reached surface
waters. As per the above statute, a public notice had to be published within 10 days and proof of
same provided to the Division Was this done and if so lease ;o. ar l e a - - . .
In regard to incident # 200702015 dated 6/18/07, an sso of 500 gallons occurred. The method of
determination was a guess. On eleven other sso reports it was also guessed that 500 gallons
were leaked. That seems pretty coincidental and convenient on the part of the person making
the guess who happens to be a representative of the reporting responsible party. This spill was
cause by a bad stop float and also b float. It was last checked on 3/5/07 as stated in
the report. ow often are these floats checked?
In summary, please investigate all the above matters and forward a written reply to me within an
appropriate time frame. Thank you

Transylvania Utilities has an individual collection system permit. They do have in their permit an
enforceable commitment to develop a system wide map. They have construction drawings for their
various system segments; which up until recently I have been somewhat satisfied with. When I
figured out that construction drawings for all of North Carolina's road was not the same as a state road
map I became dissatisfied with Transylvania Utilities construction drawings as a substitute for a
system wide map. I left their regional manager a message on this subject yesterday. Have a nice day.

I offer this E-mail in response to the September 12 and September 26, 2008 E-mails from Mr.
Robert Sisserson regarding Transylvania Utilities. Transylvania Utilities is owned by by
1 of 3 10/1/2008 11:45 AM

Kilities, Inc. and maintains and operates a collection system, serving Connestee Falls, under the
provisions of permit number WQCS00219. The collection system consists of approximately 28
miles of gravity sewer, 6 miles of force main and 17 pump stations most of which was built in the
70s and 80s.
Now back to Mr. Sisserson's September 12, 2008 E-mail. In every instance Transylvania Utilities
filled out the appropriate section of Part II of Form CS-SSO. The I & I portion of Part II was not
completed for the reason that no SSO occurred as a result of I & I.
Mr. Sisserson stated that the two SSOs occurred whose volume required public notice. Both
Public Notices are in our files.
Mr. Sisserson is concerned about the frequent use of 500 gallons as the volume of sewage lost
during a spill. In many cases, as you well know, the volume figure is a best guess for the reason
that no flow measuring device is available. That is the situation with regards to most spills at
Connestee.
Transylvania Utilities has experienced 17 SSOs since the beginning of 2005; of which I 1 were the
result of splits in force mains. The force main situation has been discussed with Transylvania
Utilities. The Company recognizes the need to invest money in force main replacement and in fact
in 2006 and 2007 replaced 6,565 feet of force main. One NOV has been sent to Transylvania
Utilities as a result of a SSO.
The operating staff at Transylvania Utilities does a good job of caring for the collection system.
The parent company, Utilities, Inc., makes yearly capital investments in the system. Beyond the
SSOs, my main concern is the lack of a system map. Transylvania Utilities depends of
construction drawings which are not the same thing as a system wide map.

Beginning :June 1, 2007 and lasting through December 1, 2007 any reportable SSO will
result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV). Beginning on December 1, 2007
civil penalties will be assessed for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface
waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, or recreation area closures.
Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional and
whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any question regarding this NOV or our policy relating to issuance of NOVs
or Civil Penalties for SSOs please contact Roy Davis in our Asheville Regional Office at

Fat -Free Sewers: How to Prevent Fats, Oils, and Greases
From Damaging Your Home and the Environment
ils, and Greases aren't just bad for your arteries and your waistline; they're bad for sewers, too!
.. , . , ... .. and backups can cause health hazards, damage home interiors, and threaten the environment. An
increasingly common cause of overflows is sewer pipes blocked by grease. Grease gets into the sewer from household
drains as well as from poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses.
Where does the grease come from?
Most of us know grease as the byproduct of cooking.
• Meat fats
• Lard
• Cooking oil
• Shortening
• Butter and margarine
Grease is found in such things as:
• Food scraps
• Baking goods
• Sauces
• Dairy products
Too often, grease is washed into the plumbing system, usually through the kitchen sink. Grease sticks to the insides of
sewer pipes (both on your property and in the streets). Over time, the grease can build up and block the entire pipe.
Home garbage disposals do not keep grease out of the plumbing system. These units only shred solid material into
smaller pieces and do not prevent grease from going down the drain. Commercial additives, including detergents that
claim to dissolve grease, may pass grease down the line and cause problems in other areas.
The results can be:
• Raw sewage overflowing in your home or your neighbor's home;
• An expensive and unpleasant cleanup that often must be paid for by you, the homeowner;
• Raw sewage overflowing into parks, yards, and streets;
• Potential contact with disease -causing organisms;
• An increase in operation and maintenance costs for local sewer departments, which causes higher sewer bills for customers.
What can we do to help?
The easiest way to solve the grease problem and help prevent overflows of raw sewage is to keep this material out of the
sewer system in the first place. -
There are several ways to do this.
• Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
• Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, plates, pots, pans, utensils, grills and cooking surfaces into a can or the trash for
disposal (or recycling where available).
• Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty
the drain baskets/strainers into the trash for disposal.
• Speak with your friends and neighbors about the problem of grease in the sewer system and how to keep it out. Call your local
sewer system authority if you have any questions.
What restaurant and building owners need to know about grease traps and interceptors
Restaurants, large buildings (such as apartment complexes), and other commercial establishments may have grease traps
or interceptors that keep grease out of the sewer system. For a grease trap or interceptor to work correctly, it must be
properly:
• Designed (sized and manufactured to handle the amount that is expected),
• Installed (level, vented, etc.), and
• Maintained (cleaned and serviced on a frequent basis).
Solids should never be put into grease traps or interceptors. Routine, often daily, maintenance of grease traps and
interceptors is needed to ensure that they properly reduce or prevent blockages.
Be cautious of chemicals and additives (including soaps and detergents) that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these
additives simply pass grease down pipes where it can clog the sewer lines in another area.

Dear Mr. Medling:
Attached is the report resulting from the Transylvania Utilities' Collection System Permit
Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on November 30, 2006 by Don Price and me. We
came away well pleased with the job that Transylvania Utilities is doing in operating its
wastewater collection system and maintaining'records in support of operational activities.
We would like to make the following suggestions:
(1) The pump station emergency notification signs do not meet permit requirements in that
instructions for notification are not included. We would suggest signs which say
something like "Sewage Pumping Station #_, In Event of an Emergency Call - -
(2) The ongoing contractual cleaning of sewer right-of-way should be continued until all trees
and other vegetation have been removed from the right-of-way.
(3) Sewer system maps shggld be modified to include Ipe age and pipe material.
(4) Transylvania Utilities, Inc. should submit an annual report In accordance with the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 C.

Inspection Date: 11/10/2005 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Transylvania Utilities (TU) has only four people to care for both thevater and sewer systems at Connestee Falls. All
sewer cleaning and right-of-way maintenance is contracted. TU has a Capital Improvements Plan which extends into
2009. With only one restaurant grease is not a problem. Septage is not allowed. TU's legal authority to control customers
would be to shut off water service to offending customers. Satisfactory records of contract sewer cleaning are maintained.
Trucks are maintained off site by G-Capital. TU will start keeping records of back hoe maintenance. Maintenance and
start-up records for one permanant and three portable generators need to be kept
Right-of-way cleaning is contracted. Most right-of-way is cleaned by hand. Some right-of-way has not been cleaned for
thirty years. TU should be allowed until the beginning of 2007 to clean all right-of-way at which time all right-of-way will be
maintained annually.
Sewer maping is probably adequate. Direction of flow can be inferred from map. Map shows lots which indicates number
of taps. 1200 of 3000 lots have been built upon.
Sewage pump stations have signs giving TUs phone number and Station Number. David Medling and I discussed the
installation of new signs which would say Sewage Pumping. Station Number X'. Instead, I think I would say something
along the line of ""Sewage Pumping Station Number X, Call "phone number" in Case of Emergency

It is obvious that hie purpose of the above, rather lengthy, I st is to help you document what you are doing in the
way of sewer system operations and maintenance. These same records allow us to determine compliance with
permit requirements. We want to see a little fancy footwork when we conduct an inspection. If you use loose
paper records we would like to see files organized, titled, complete, present and stacked neatly. If you use
loose-leaf notebooks, dividers should be used between sections. We are more than pleased to sit in front of a
computer screen during the inspection if you use computer -based records. Behind a system of well organized
records we obviously want a solid program of sewer operations, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement
leading to the reduction, as far as possible, in the occurrence of sewer system overflows and the amount of
infiltration and inflow arriving at wastewater treatment plants.

Fat -Prue, 'Sewers: How to Prevent Fats, Oils, acid Greases
From Damaging Your Home and the Environment
Fats, Oils, and Greases aren't just bad for your arteries and your waistline; they're bad for sewers, too
Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage home interiors, and threaten the environment. An
increasingly common cause of overflows is sewer pipes blocked by grease. Grease gets into the sewer from household
drains as well as from poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses.
Where does the grease come from?
Most of us know grease as the byproduct of cooking.
• Meat fats
• Lard
• Cooking oil
• Shortening
• Butter and margarine
Grease is found in such things as:
• Food scraps
• Baking goods
• Sauces
• Dairy products
Too often, grease is washed into the plumbing system, usually through the kitchen sink. Grease sticks to the insides of
sewer pipes (both on your property and in the streets). Over time, the grease can build up and block the entire pipe.
Home garbage disposals do not keep grease out of the plumbing system. These units only shred solid material into
smaller pieces and do not prevent grease from going down the drain. Commercial additives, including detergents that
claim to dissolve grease, may pass grease down the line and cause problems in other areas.
The results can be:
• Raw sewage overflowing in your home or your neighbor's home;
• An expensive and unpleasant cleanup that often must be paid for by you, the homeowner;
• Raw sewage overflowing into parks, yards, and streets;
• Potential contact with disease -causing organisms;
• • An increase in operation and maintenance costs for local sewer departments, which causes higher sewer bills for customers.
What can we do to help?
The easiest way to solve the grease problem and help prevent overflows of raw sewage is to keep this material out of the
sewer system in the first place.
There are several ways to do this.
• Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
• Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, plates, pots, pans, utensils, grills and cooking surfaces into a can or the trash for
disposal (or recycling where available).
• Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty
the drain baskets/strainers into the trash for disposal.
•. Speak with your friends and neighbors about the problem of grease in the sewer system and how to keep it out. Call your local
sewer system authority if you have any questions.
What restaurant and building owners need to know about grease traps and interceptors
Restaurants, large buildings (such as apartment complexes), and other commercial establishments may have grease traps
or interceptors that keep grease out of the sewer system. For a grease trap or interceptor to work correctly, it must be
properly:
• Designed. (sized and manufactured to handle the amount that is expected),
• Installed (level, vented, etc.), and
• Maintained (cleaned and serviced on a frequent basis).
Solids should never be put into grease traps or interceptors. Routine, often daily, maintenance of grease traps and
interceptors is needed to ensure that they properly reduce or prevent blockages.
Be cautious of chemicals and additives (including soaps and detergents) that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these
additives simply pass grease down pipes where it can clog the sewer lines in another area.

claim to dissolve grease, may pass grease down the line and cause problems in other areas.
The results can be:
• Raw sewage overflowing in your home or your neighbor's home;
• An expensive and unpleasant cleanup that often must be paid_ for by you, the homeowner;
• Raw sewage overflowing into parks, yards, and streets;
• Potential contact with disease -causing organisms;
• An increase in operation and maintenance costs for local sewer departments, which causes higher sewer bills for customers.
What can we do to help?
The easiest way to solve the grease problem and help prevent overflows of raw sewage is to keep this material out of the
sewer system in the first place.
There are several ways to do this.
• Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets.
• Scrape grease and food scraps from trays, plates, pots, pans, utensils, grills and cooking surfaces into a can or the trash for
disposal (or recycling where available).
• Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty
the drain baskets/strainers into the trash for disposal.
•. Speak with your friends and neighbors about the problem of grease in the sewer system and how to keep it out. Call your local
sewer system authority if you have any questions.
What restaurant and building owners need to know about grease traps and interceptors
Restaurants, large buildings (such as apartment complexes), and other commercial establishments may have grease traps
or interceptors that keep grease out of the sewer system. For a grease trap or interceptor to work correctly, it must be
properly:
• Designed (sized and manufactured to handle the amount that is expected),
• Installed (level, vented, etc.), and
• Maintained (cleaned and serviced on a frequent basis).
Solids should never be put into grease traps or interceptors. Routine, often daily, maintenance of grease traps and
interceptors is needed to ensure that they properly reduce or prevent blockages.
Be cautious of chemicals and additives (including soaps and detergents) that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these
additives simply pass grease down pipes where it can clog the sewer lines in another area.

Permit No: WQCS00219
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Attached you will find the report resulting from my November 10, 2005 inspection
of the wastewater collection system serving Connestee Falls. Transylvania Utilities is
doing good job of operating the system. The area needing greatest attention is right-of-
way maintenance and record keeping. I was glad to see the recent installation of
telemetry at the seventeen sewage pumping stations serving Connestee. The attached
report and this cover letter contains several compliance dates which I am presenting to
Marie Doklovic for possible inclusion in Transylvania Utilities upcoming Collection System
Permit.
I find it reasonable that all sewer line right-of-way be cleaned by the end of the
year 2006 and receive routine maintenance thereafter. This schedule seems reasonable
given that some right-of-way has not been cleaned since time of original sewer
construction thirty years ago. Signage at the seventeen sewage pumping stations could
be improved. Consider a sign which says ""Sewage Pumping Station Number X, Call
"phone number" In Case of Emergency"" Present signage gives only pump station
number and Transylvania Utilities' phone number.

Four people are stretched to take care of both. the water and sewer system

improved upon.. I encourage you to call me at 828-296-4500 should you need to discuss
this report in anyway.

Inspection Date:.11/10/2005 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for'
Inspection Summary:
Transylvania Utilities (TU) has only four people to care for both the water and sewer systems at Connestee Falls. All
sewer cleaning and right-of-way maintenance is contracted. TU has a Capital Improvements Plan which extends into
2009. With only one restaurant grease is not a problem. Septage is not allowed. TU's legal authority to control customers
would be to shut off water service to offending customers. Satisfactory records of contract sewer cleaning are maintained.
Trucks are maintained off site by G-Capital. TU will start keeping records of back hoe maintenance. Maintenance and
start-up records for one permanant and three portable generators need to be kept
Right-of-way cleaning is contracted. Most right-of-way is cleaned by hand. Some right-of-way has not been cleaned for
thirty years. TU should be allowed until the beginning of 2007 to clean all right-of-way at which time all right-of-way will be
maintained annually.
Sewer maping is probably adequate. Direction of flow can be inferred from map. Map shows lots which indicates number
of taps. 1200 of 3000 lots have been built upon.
Sewage. pump stations have signs giving TUs phone number and Station Number. David Medling and I discussed the
installation of new signs which would say "Sewage Pumping Station Number X". Instead, I think I would say something
along the line of ""Sewage Pumping Station Number X, Call "phone number" in Case of Emergency

purpose of the above rather lengthy list is to help you document what you are doing in the way of
sewer system operations and maintenance. It is my hope that these record keeping requirements will
be beneficial to you.
If you will look closely at the computer generated inspection report for collection systems you will see
these documents mentioned as well as detailed questions we will be asking relating to these
documents.
The maintenance and operation of a wastewater collection system is a very important job.
Our interest is to reduce as far as possible the occurrence of Sewer System Overflows and reduce as
far as possible the amount of infiltration and inflow arriving at the wastewater treatment plant.

Dear Mr. Highley and Mr. Lashua:
The Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems (PERCS) Unit has conducted a
preliminary review of the subject permit application packages in preparation for issuance of your
system -wide collection system permits. There are some general comments on all of the above permit
applications. Please address the following items no later than November 11, 2005 and note that we are
unable to grant any extension of time on this deadline.
The main purpose of this permit program is to have collection system owners act on a proactive
and preventative basis. In many of the applications, it was indicated that there is no annual
budget and no capital improvement plan. Facilities are replaced/repaired as needed. It is
unclear whether "as needed" is prior to a problem on a routine schedule or only when there is a
problem. While the permit shell is written to require a Capital Improvement Plan for which
municipalities would require annual Board approval and adoption, we can modify the language to
better fit your operation. We have reviewed the type of annual report submitted to the NC Public
Utilities Commission (NCUC), discussed these permit conditions with them related to the entities they
regulate, discussed the Capital Improvement Plan concept with the UNC Institute of Government
for applicability to privately owned utilities, and discussed with other privately owned utilities how
they budget and plan for their collection systems. The NCUC annual report regarding your
customer base, revenues and expenditures does not satisfy the intent of the long term plan
concept. All parties believe that any entity with assets such as a collection system should have a
long term plan to manage those assets. The NCUC suggests that most of their larger regulated
utilities have a 3 - 5 year Capital Expenditures Plan. This plan generally covers all owned systems for
general replacement and upgrades of lines and pumps and has some system specific
expenditures. The plan is revised annually. This is the type of plan we expect for the systems owned
by your companies. We will modify the permit condition accordingly and provide a one year
compliance schedule. Note that the Village at Nags Head permit issued June 30, 2005, Brandywine
Bay issued'July 1, 2005 and Cabarrus Woods issued June 21, 2005 already contain compliance
schedules for this plan. Cabarrus Woods has the language we propose. Any further wording
suggestions on this permit condition are welcome.

2. Most of the applications indicated that a grease inspection and enforcement program per
Condition I(4) is not required. If there are any non-residential connections to your systems that
generate grease such as schools, restaurants, nursing homes, hotels, etc., a program will be
required. Please indicate which of your facilities will be subject to this requirement. We can include
a compliance schedule for this program. Note that some of your active permits already contain
such schedule.
3. The sewer spill policy presented with the applications may not meet the requirements of Condition
II(9). It appears our 2003 guidance policy presenting our new revised reporting form was paired
with our old reporting -form and collection system survey sheets. The current report form is attached.
The Response Action Plan should contain the reporting policy and DENR phone numbers, response
time, cleanup procedures, available equipment, contractor numbers, sources of emergency funds,
and post -assessment procedures. A three month compliance schedule can be included to make
revisions to your plan as already indicated in some of your active permits.
4. Please provide a local collection system contact list for each of these facilities.
5. It is noted that both Fairfield Harbour and Jackson Utility system applications were submitted under
CWS Systems, Inc. The North Carolina Secretary of State Corporations Database says this company
was merged into Carolina Water Service of North Carolina some time ago. Please verify the proper
Permittee for these permits.
Comments from our Regional Offices about these applications are pending at this time. Compliance
inspections may be scheduled for these facilities. Please be aware that you are responsible for meeting
all requirements set forth in North Carolina rules and regulations. Any oversights that occurred in the
review of the subject application package are still the responsibility of the applicant. In addition, any
omissions made in responding to the above items may result in future requests for additional information.
Reference the subject application number when providing the requested information. Two copies of all
revised and/or additional documentation should be signed, dated, and submitted to my attention at
the letterhead address. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before the
above requested date may result in issuance of your permit with no compliance schedules.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 733-
5083, extension 371 or via E-mail at [e-mail]. You may also check the future status of
this project online at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/bims/Reports/reports Permits. htm1. Thank you for your

INTRAOFFICE MEMO
To: All Operations Staff
From: Martin Lashua
Re: • Sewer. Spill Policy
Date: 1-28-02
Please carefully read and comply in regards to any sewer spill, overflow or
similar problem:
It is very important that any and all reports of back-ups or spills are
responded to immediately after notification and all possible efforts made to
resolve the situation immediately to control and impound the spill for
treatment and prevent the wastewater from reaching any surface waters.
* If untreated wastewater in any amount does reach surface waters it must be
reported to your supervisor immediately (or manager on call) who in turn
must report it to the state Division of Water Quality.
If
untreated
wastewater does not reach surface waters
and does
not exceed
1,000
gallons,
it must be reported to your supervisor (or
manager
on call) but
does
not have
to be reported to the state.
If
untreated
wastewater does not reach surface waters
but does exceed 1,000
gallons, it must
be reported to your supervisor immediately (or manager on
call)
and this
must be reported to the state and in North
Carolina,
we must also
post
the spill
report in every newspaper, TV and Radio
station in
the county in
which it occurred.
** In all cases, the operator must fill in the appropriate spill report form -
regardless of amount and turn it in to your supervisor as soon as practical and
possible, but in no case later than the next business day.
If the spill reaches surface waters - in any amount - it is very important to
document stream quality up stream and down stream of the spill. This should
include visual observations, DO readings and pH readings. The up stream
sample should be 100' up stream. The down stream should be -at two locations,
100, and 1 mile. These observations should be reported in the comments
section of the state form. This is very important and must be done as soon as
possible after the condition has been corrected.
Clean up of the site must be complete. Apply hydrated lime the area to raise
the pH and control pathogens and to control any odor.
If in doubt, consult your supervisor or manager on call promptly. Remember -
every spill must have a state form completed.
Thank you for your attention.

SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection Systems
-Revised. Enforcement and Spill Reporting Policy
for Collection System Overflows
Application/RegistrationNo, WQCS00253
Bradfield Farms Collection System
Dear Mr. Daniel:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has revised the procedures for enforcement of sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) and the reporting of those overflows to the Division. Since 1999, SSO enforcement actions
were based on a point system that assigned various values to different aspects of an overflow. The Division
expects collection system owners to operate and maintain their collection systems on .a preventative and proactive
basis to eliminate overflows and comply with existing laws and regulations. Therefore, the "points" system will
no longer be used. Effective immediately, any SSO is subject to a possible enforcement action such as a Notice
of Violation and/or a civil penalty assessment.
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting SSOs to
the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a person (not facsimile ,or voicemail) at your regional DWQ office during regular
business hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call [phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current Division approved
form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit to provide usefal and consisteni
information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed. Enclosed you will find Form CS-
SSO, which consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always
been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if adequat
justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for justification of a
SSO, you must use the attached form with additional documentation as necessary. DWQ staff will review II
justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please review the attached form and 1
advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. B con using this form immediately
report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewat
treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part U, if pertinent, is fi
working days.

Dear Mr. Lapsley:
The Division of Water Quality is in receipt of the Connestee Falls' application for the construction
of a gravity sewer collection line to serve the Qualla Village. Upon reviewing the application and the
numerous past spill reports submitted by the Connestee Falls Resort, I have concerns regarding the
overall condition of the sewer collection system. I am therefore requesting confirmation that the
downstream sewer lines are of a condition capable of conveying wastewater to the treatment facility.

Collection System
Dear Mr. Davis,
We are in receipt of the December 30, 2005 Collection Permit.
One condition [1(5)] required us to provide you with a Capital Plan for this system. This was
previously provided in my December 16, 2005 letter and therefore satisfies this requirement.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-525-7990, Ext. 216. Thank
you for your attention.
S' c rely,
