Dear Mr. Stovall :
h x
On June 4, 1999, I conducted a compliance evaluation
ifikinspection of the wastewater treatment facility serving
;. the Yancey Correctional Center. A copy of the inspection
'
report is attached for your review.
S The treatment plant appeared to be very well
maintained and operating in compliance with terms and
p g
U . ,' conditions contained in the NPDES permit . A review of
S.
the monthly monitoring reports indicated that weekly flow
readings (from the water meter is OK) should be recorded
on the monthly report, in addition to the monthly
r average, maximum and minimum flows that are currently
being reported. Dennis appears to be doing a very good
gv job of attending to all aspects of 0&M at this facility.
If you .should you have questions or need any
assistance, please feel free to contact me anytime at
828-251-6208 (voice mail extension 218) . Thank you for
as� a ` your attention to this matter.

Yancey Correctional Center #4670 has closed. The inmates and staff have been
trtansferred to other facilities. There is no flow going into the wastewater
treatment plant, therefore there is no discharge. The permittee has requested
that the permit be keep active, however, since there is no flow, they will NOT
be sending monthly DMR' s. Please make the appropriate changes to the IMS
system. They will contact us if there are any changes in this situation.
Please continue to send annual fee notices to the following.

Dear Mr. Lee:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received on May 31, 1995 by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to
be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of a 50,000 gpd tablet
dechlorination system with discharge of treated wastewater into the Cane River.
V
( � This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO027898 issued May 19, 1992 and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0027898.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be.
required by this Division, such as the construction.of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number [phone] shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in-place
inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the
normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State
Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has
been installed in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the
approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and EnIgineering Unit,

Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least
equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the
appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The
ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV
facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document
daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title
15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. Once the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the
Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days
after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee
for the life of the facility.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from .
complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by
other government agencies (local, state, Ind federal) which have jurisdiction.
One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you have
any questions or need additional information, please contact Jeanette Powell at telephone number

This subbasin includes the entire Cane River catchment. About two-thirds of this subbasin
within the Pisgah National Forest,including most of the subbasin south of NC 19, plus the area
north of Bald Mountain Creek. Minor development is located in the middle of the subbasin near
the Town of Burnsville. Burnsville's WWTP is the only major discharger. Major tributary
streams in subbasin 07 include Bald Mountain Creek and Bald Creek. Cane River and its
tributaries are classified as WS-II upstream of the Town of Burnsville water supply intake.
Below the water intake, most stream segments are classified as C-Tr. Bowlens Creek is
classified as HQW based on its native and special native trout waters status.

RECOMMENDED MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR OXYGEN
DEMANDING WASTES
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3) are generally the types of
oxygen-consuming wastes of greatest concern. Therefore,NPDES permits generally limit BOD5
and NH3 in point source discharge effluents to control the effects of oxygen depletion in receiving
waters.
In most surface water systems throughout the State, the lowest concentrations of dissolved oxygen
usually occur during summertime conditions when temperature is high and streamflow is low.
During these periods,point source discharges have their greatest impact, while nonpoint input is
generally low. Nonpoint loads are typically delivered at high flow during and after storm events,
but may have residual effects on water quality through runoff and sediment oxygen demand.
Modeling of oxygen-consuming wastes, typically performed under low flow scenarios, accounts
for the residual effects of nonpoint sources and is used to establish appropriate NPDES permit
limits. Where the residual BOD is significant,management of nonpoint sources to reduce loading
is recommended by implementation of best management practices. The choice of model, North
Carolina's empirical model or the field calibrated, QUAL2E model, used is determined by the
amount of data available for a given stream reach. The empirical model is routinely used to
determine wasteload allocations in the absence of intensive water quality studies of the discharge
reach.
Nolichucky River Mainstem (04-03-06 through 04-03-07)
No DO problems in the Nolichucky watershed have been documented through DEM's ambient
monitoring network nor by NPDES instream self-monitoring data. There are a few discharges of
oxygen-consuming wastes in the watershed. In addition, water temperatures are low and flow is
available to assimilate wastes. Thus,no field calibrated models have been done. Permit limits for
oxygen-consuming wastes will be determined in accordance with standard procedures.
Subbasin 07 (Cane River Watershed)
Subbasin 07 contains the watershed of the Cane River, a tributary of the Nolichucky River. The
river is classified WS-II Trout from the headwaters to the Town of Burnsville's water supply
intake. These waters are subject to the Water Supply rules for WS-H waters and the HQW
management strategy. The only significant discharge in this reach is the Burnsville WWTP (0.8
MGD). An empirical model including the two existing discharges has been developed and permit
limits for oxygen-consuming wastes will be determined in accordance with standard procedures.
The Burnsville WWTP discharge, along with the DOC-Yancey County discharge is located
downstream of the water supply area. There is interaction between Burnsville and DOC-Yancey
Co.,but no DO sag is predicted.
