2. Submit a written equest for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a r quest for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relat to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is�not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty

assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. 1 (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to.
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions

of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

of Civil Penalties,. Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form

Re: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement NOV-2013-LM-0053
NPDES Permit NCO088056 Blacksmith Run Henderson County
Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on behalf of Vista Developers at Blacksmith Run to provide
information as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility. RPB Systems,
Inc. is the contract operations f rm, which operates this facility.
See enclosed our amended DMR for June 2013 to reflect corrected effluent flow
readings. We have forwarded the original and copy to Raleigh.
We did fail to monitor Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus semi-annually during the
first six months of 2013 by error. We have collected the next six month period and .
reported in July 2013. We are taking measures to ensure these semi-annual analysis are
taken and reported correctly.
I trust you will call if you have any questions or concerns.

County: Henderson
Case Number: LM-2013-0026
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S.143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Continuous Flows were not monitored per the NPDES permit.
All Flows were not reported in the unit specified by the NPDES permit.
One Total N was not monitored semi-annually per the NPDES permit monitoring
requirements.
One Total P was not monitored semi-annually per the NPDES permit monitoring
requirements.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of time for taking samples and
the lab cost for analyzing the samples.
The amount of money saved would also include the cost of the time for properly
completing and filling out the DMR.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There have been no civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

Mr. Ed Nunez, Registered Agent
Vista Developers, LLC
525 North Main Street
Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792
SUBJECT: Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty
for Violations of North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6)
and NPDES Permit NCOO88O56
Vista Developers, LLC
Blacksmith Run WWTP
Case No. LM-2013-0026
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Nunez:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $266.50
($119.00 civil penalty + $147.50 enforcement costs) against Vista Developers, LLC.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Vista Developers, LLC for the month of June 2013. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO088O56. The violations which occurred in
June 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Vista Developers, LLC violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCOO88O56 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson, Division of Water Resources
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Vista Developers, LLC:

County: Henderson
Case Number: LM-2013-0026
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
As required by G.S. 143-214.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors
set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Two Continuous Flows were not monitored per the NPDES permit.
All Flows were not reported in the unit specified by the NPDES permit.
One Total N was not monitored semi-annually per the NPDES permit monitoring
requirements.
One Total P was not monitored semi-annually per the NPDES permit monitoring
requirements.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
All effluent violations may be detrimental to the receiving stream but may not be
immediately quantified.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved would include the cost of time for taking samples and
the lab cost for analyzing the samples.
The amount of money saved would also include the cost of the time for properly
completing and filling out the DMR.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
It does not appear to be either.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
There have been no civil penalty assessments in the twelve months prior to this
violation.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
$147.50.

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

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/ Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
.� '
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty

assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

A. (2) EILECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
-(DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then
permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of
this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall
begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month
and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to
enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time
that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting
Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to
the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by
printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer -printed eDMR
to the following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR

Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements
may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1
1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be
submitted to -the -mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the
date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers
shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be
submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a
new temporary waiver by the Division.

This letter is written on behalf of Vista Developers at Blacksmith Run to provide
information as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility per your February
19th, 2019 letter attached.
We have had daily maximum BOD violations for March, April, May, June, and now
November 2018. We do not know the reason for these spikes but coincide with very high
influent BODs we collected on 950mg/L-6130 mg/L. As you know package plants are
designed for only domestic waste loading of 200-250 mg/L influent BOD.
The site is rapidly being built out by the developer and have asked if they are aware of
any toxic waste being dumped into the system of which they do not.
We are still trying to determine the cause of these influent spikes.
We will show the continuous flow readings which we have on the edmr site and
discontinue the holiday drop down menu we thought we were to use previously as stated.
I trust you will call if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on behalf of Vista Developers at Blacksmith Run to provide
information as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility per your June 4m
letter attached.
We have had daily maximum BOD violations for March, April, May, and now June
2018.. We do not know the reason for these spikes but coincide with very high influent
BODs we collected on 5/24/18 of 6130 mg/L and 6/19/18 of 1230 mg/L. Package plants
are designed for only domestic waste loading of 200-250 mg/L influent BOD.
The site is rapidly being built out by the developer and have asked if they are aware of
any toxic waste being dumped into the system of which they do not.
We will most likely need to request regulatory assistance to determine the cause and
hopefully allow the owner a reduction in potential fines during this time.
Other violations listed in the EDMR process in your letter, Composite sampling times
and holiday "H"' entries will be modified and resubmitted to correct these errors. When
DMRS were submitted prior to electronic filing and accepted for thirty years it is hard to
adjust to electronic forms for some of us. We should be able to resubmit reporting errors
within the next week.
I trust you will call if you have any questions or concerns.

Holidays may be reported by putting an "H" in the parameter col�mns. Explanations for weather or other reasons
may be addressed in the Comments Section. Please see the Facility Reporting Guide or call this office.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any noted problems. The Division of

Re: Notice of ViolationNOV-2018-LV-0382/0383
NPDES Permit NC0088056 Blacksmith Run Henderson County
Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on behalf of Vista Developers at Blacksmith Run to provide
information as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility per your June 4tn
letter attached.
We have had daily maximum BOD violations for March, April, May, and now June
2018. We do not know the reason for these spikes but coincide with very high influent
BODs we collected on 5/24/18 of 6130 mg/L and 6/19/18 of 1230 mg/L. Package plants
are designed for only domestic waste loading of 200-250 mg/L influent BOD.
The site is rapidly being built out by the developer and have asked if they are aware of
any toxic waste being dumped into the system of which they do not.
We will most likely need to request regulatory assistance to determine the cause and
hopefully allow the owner a reduction in potential fines during this time.
Other violations listed in the EDMR process in your letter, Composite sampling times
and holiday "H" entries will be modified and resubmitted to correct these errors. When
DMRS were submitted prior to electronic filing and accepted for thirty years it is hard to
adjust to electronic forms for some of us. We should be able to resubmit reporting errors
within the next week.
I trust you will call if you have any questions or concerns.

Re:Sludge Management Plan/Blacksmith Run WWTP
Mr. Nunez,
As requested and part of your permit renewal for Blacksmith Run WWTP this letter will
outline the sludge Management Plan as part of Permit NPDES NC0088056.
Waste sludge is directed to the internal sludge holding chamber where the waste is
aerated and clear water decanted by an adjustable air lift decant pump. The final waste is
hauled by Mikes Septic Pumping to MSD of Buncombe County.
I trust this will enable you to complete your permit renewal. Call to discuss as needed.

Subject: Future Modification of NPDES Permit NCO088056
Blacksmith Run WWTP
Henderson County
The Division issued the subject permit on September 20, 2010. At that time, it was noted that Lewis
Creek (the stream to which your facility discharges) was impaired from its designated uses. Further review
by Division staff, including a new instream oxygen -consumption model, was done.
The detailed review of Lewis Creek resulted in a need to modify the ammonia nitrogen effluent
limits for your facility. Given the proximity for your facility to the Western Justice Academy WWTP
(NCO086070), it was determined that effluent limits for both facilities required correction. Revised
ammonia limits for NCO086070 were applied in 2011 as part of the permit renewal. The stricter
ammonia nitroeen limits for your facility will be implemented at the next hermit renewal in
2015. It is our intention that this advance notice will allow you the necessary time to make the appropriate
facility modifications.
The existing permit limits are:
➢ 10.0 mg/L monthly average, 35.0 mg/L daily maximum (April 1 through October 31)
➢ 25.0 mg/L monthly average, 95.0 mg/L daily maximum (November 1 through March 31)
The new permit limits will be:
➢ 7.0 mg/L monthly average, 20.0 mg/L daily maximum (year-round)
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Charles H. Weaver at (919) 807-

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall
be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of
the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
B ass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
-with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
Version 712009

iNPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour
sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Dailmphg
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations
prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that
requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency
Facility Closure
Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow
this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered = 1.
Version 712009

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 3 of 18
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Monthly Average (concentration limitl
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limitl
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe properly damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,
or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA.
Upset
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Weekly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Section B. General Conditions
1. Duty to Comply
The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation
of the CWA and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or
modification; or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41].
a. The Permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the
CWA for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established under section
405(d) of the CWA within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions
or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate

into Lewis Creek (C-Trout).
Both permits are up for renewal.
The Justice Academy sent you a letter (dated July 9, 210), requesting the following changes:
1. Increase current BOD limits:
From: Summer 5.0 mo ave and 7.5 weekly ave
To: Summer 30 mo ave and 45 daily ave
From: Winter 10 mo ave and 15 weekly ave
To: Winter 30 mo ave and 45 daily ave
(Which is 30/45 year round.)
2. Increase ammonia nitrogen limits:
From: Summer 2.0 mo ave and 6 weekly ave
To: 10 mo ave and 35 daily ave
1

From: Winter 4 mo ave and 12 weekly ave
To: 25 mo ave and 35 daily ave
3. Eliminate the upstream and downstream monitoring requirements for:
fecal coliform
dissolved oxygen
(and I would also include: temperature)
These requested changes for the Justice Academy would reflect the current requirements for Blacksmith
Run. A copy of both limit pages were sent with the Justice Academy's letter.
Since both of these facilities discharge into Lewis Creek within half a mile of each other, we would like to
see permits limits for both facilities be more balanced. The ARO is requesting that the Justice Academy's
limits be relaxed and Blacksmith Run's limits stay the same.
I spoke with Soil and Water staff regarding current agricultural practices in the area. Based on our
discussions, we don't feel that the same irrigation practices are being used now, compared to those that
were used in 1998 (when the permit was originally issued). This is due to farms becoming GAP (good
agricultural practices) certified, so that their produce can be sold to local grocery stores under the USDA
guidelines. Most produce farmers are no longer using surface water for irrigation, they are using
groundwater or other protected sources. In light of these recent developments, the ARO feels that the
proposed limit changes are justified for the Justice Academy.
Charles recommended sending this info to you and Bob, since Bob is handling the renewal of the Justice
Academy.
Charles,
Attached are the last 4 inspections for Blacksmith Run, as well as, the current facility cover page info.

Authorization to Construct, NPDES Permit # NCO088056
Blacksmith Run Development
Henderson County, NC
Dear Ms. Fields:
Brooks & Medlock Engineering is pleased to provide this Letter of Request for
Authorization to Construct (ATC) the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for the above
referenced project. The following are NCDENR ATC application items for your review.
A. Description of the Project
The subject property is located in southeastern Henderson County. The two parcels,
approximately 47.5 acres and 34.6 acres respectively, are identified by Henderson
County as Tax Map ID Nos. 00969170256055 and 00969172542655. The subject
site is currently farm land and vacant fields. Lewis Creek traverses the northeast
portion of the 34.6 acre parcel which is the permitted receiving stream.
The development project consists of a proposed 187 single family residential units
on' -the 82.1 acres. The subdivision has been approved by the Henderson County
Planning Board and the site roads, water system and sewer collection system have
been permitted and are under construction.
The design flow for the project is calculated to be 89,000 gallons per day (gpd)
based upon 120 gpd/bedroom in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H 0.219. A majority
of the homes are to be four bedrooms with a few being two or three bedrooms.
B. A copy of the draft NPDES Permit is provided as Attachment A.
C. The design capacity for the wastewater treatment plant is 89,000 gpd (0.089
MGD).
D. The WWTP is a new facility, not an upgrade and three sets of plans and
specifications accompany this Letter of Request.
17 ARLINGTON STREET - ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28801 • [phone] • FAx [phone]

E. The process design calculations are included in the Specifications package.
F. A hydraulic profile and flow schematic are provided as Attachment B.
G. A copy of the Erosion Control Permit is provided as Attachment C.
H. Residuals management for the WWTP will be facilitated by transportation of
sludge from the sludge holding tank by a permitted hauler to Buncombe County
Municipal Sewer District. A Letter of Acceptance from Buncombe County MSD
to the hauler is provided as Attachment D.
I. Power and potable water are to be brought in to the plant as part of the
construction. The proposed power and water are shown on the Engineering Plans.
J. The proposed WWTP site is not in the 100 year flood plain. The tanks are to be
partially buried to a depth of 5 feet below ground surface. The tanks are to be
sealed inside and out with a coal tar coating and strapped to a one foot thick
concrete base. The potential for groundwater is seen as minimal and these
engineering allowances should eliminate the potential for groundwater
contravention.
We appreciate your review and cooperation with this project. Please contact us (828)
232-4700 if additional information is required. We look forward to working with you on
this permit application.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Vista Developers, LLC — Blacksmith Run WWTP is a class II facility rated as a 0.089 MGD
extended aeration package plant consisting of: 22,500 gallon flow equalization basin with
duplex 2 HP pumps (34 gpm) with dual high water alarms and bar screen; dual 50,720 gallon
aeration basins with 7.5 HP triplex blowers (172 scfm each) providing diffused air; dual 144
sq ft clarifiers with skimmers and sludge returns; 13,629 gallon aerobic digestor with a 5
HP blower; UV disinfection unit with 2 banks of lamps (3 lamps per bank); 2000 gallon post
aeration tank; 90 degree v-notch weir; Isco 4230 bubbler flow meter; Isco composite sampler and
125 KW Generac Power Systems propane emergency generator.
Collection System: 10 homes (< 12 connections). Influent pump station with duplex 5.5 HP pumps
(rated at 380 gpm) and American On -site Controls autodialer.
Development: Consists of a residential development (no clubhouse) consisting of 82.1 acres (two
parcels: 47.5 acres & 34.6 acres) for 187 proposed single family residential homes (based on 120
gpd/bedroom).
PERMIT / INSPECTION / LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
6-9-2009 by Janet Cantwell.
The permit expires on 10-31-2010. The Division received your request for permit renewal on
3-15-2010.
The daily operator log was present on -site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS / PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 20.0 degrees Celsius
pH = 7.3 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 9.4 mg/I
Settleable Solids = <5 ml/I = <5%
Note: Low occupancy and low influent flows have resulted in high DOs and low
volume of settleable solids, as is typical in this situation.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data from the post aeration chamber was as follows:
Page # 2

Permit: NCO088056
Inspection Date: 09/16/2010
Dissolved Oxygen = 8.7 mg/I
pH = 8.3 units
Temperature = 21.0 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = n/a --- UV disinfection
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Owner - Facility: Blacksmith Run
Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
The Isco bubbler 4230 flow meter, with battery back-up, was last calibrated on 6-23-10.
EMERGENCY GENERATOR:
The 125 KW Generac Power Systems propane emergency generator self -tests weekly on Fridays.
Maybin's Emergency Power (197 Mountain Valley Cemetery; Zirconia, NC 28790-6721) services the
generator. The operator checks the propane fuel level.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY:
Mr. Rick Swilling, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining
the facility very well.
There was no discharge during the time of the inspection.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT (SPAR):
The 2009 System Performance Annual Report was received by the Division on 3-4-2010.
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for submittal
of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:
The owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or wastewater collection systems that
treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste, must provide an Annual Report to its
users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that summarizes
the treatment work's and collection system's performance over a 12 month period. The Annual
Report is due on March 1st.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that a weatherproof enclosure and small refrigerator be provided outside
adjacent to the effluent sampling point, so that the samples may be properly refrigerated (to 4
degrees Celsius) during composite sampling events.
Extreme heat during the summer months, has caused the ice to melt before the 24-hour sampling
event is over, resulting in the operator having to make extra site visits to replenish the ice
more frequently.

Janet,
I spoke with the UV representative yesterday and wanted to relay the normal readings from the intensity meters.
The meter reads from 0 to 14. When it falls below 1.6 the meter will flash 1.6 and it's the time to clean the lights.
We normally see 7-8 range on site. Rick cleans every other month about the time he samples as part of his work.

Re: Notice of Violation NOV-2018-LV-0526
NPDES Permit NCO088056 Blacksmith Run Henderson County
Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is written on be of Vista Developers at Blacksmith Run to provide
information as to remedial action taken to the above referenced facility per your July 19th,
2018 letter attached.
We have had daily maximum BOD violations for March, April, May, and now June
2018. We do not know the reason for these spikes but coincide with very high influent
BODs we collected -on 5/24/18 of 6130 mg/L, 6/19/18 of 1230 mg/, and 950 mg/L on
7/10/18.. Package plants are designed for only domestic waste loading of 200-250 mg/L
influent BOD.
The site is rapidly,being built out by the developer and have asked if they are aware of
any toxic waste being dumped into the system of which they do not.
Other violations listed in the EDMR process in your letter, Composite sampling times
will be entered to correct these errors. We were only informed recently in June NOV to
report the composite times and duration on the electronic filing.
I trust you will call if you have any questions or concerns.

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. 1 (b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) . whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts” form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

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

Dear Mr. Nunez:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements- and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http:/lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%2OSvstems/CollectionSVstemsHome.html
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.

Subject: Return of Fast -Track Permit Application
Blacksmith Run
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Wennerstrom:
Attached herewith is the permit application, signed by you, seeking a Permit to construct and
operate sewers to serve Blacksmith Run in Henderson County. The Application was submitted by
Blacksmith run, LLC. In checking the North Carolina Secretary of State's web site I learn that
Blacksmith Run is not incorporated in this State. Please resubmit the Application at such time as
Blacksmith Run is incorporated in this State.
The NPDES Permit for the sewage treatment plant to serve Blacksmith Run was applied for in
the name of Vista Developers, LLC. When resubmitting, the Application for the sewer lines should be
accompanied by a letter from Vista Developers granting permission to Blacksmith Run, LLC to use
the sewage treatment plant and stating that sufficient capacity exist to treat 93,500 gpd of domestic
wastewater.
Do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659 should you wish to discuss this matter in greater
detail.
Sincerely,
Roy M. Davis

Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
is needed or if a program already in place and compliant.
/j
�Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l)
♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the
regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is
very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc).
This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say
120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is
240 gpd.
♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved
flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow
reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the NDPU. Flow
reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not approve."future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions.
c__-""Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently
under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (Le dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and project name. The Central
Office will review the variance request, and if approvable, specific language regarding the
variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit. A copy
of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file.

♦ Ensure that the same engineer has signed, sealed, and dated the application and all the
items, with the exception of items designed by specialty disciplines (i.e., architectural,
structural, plumbing, and electrical plans)- If not, an explanation and/or authorization is
required.
Adequate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm?
✓APE with active license in North Carolina? 2H .0205(d)(9)(A)(iii) or 2H .0203(28)
♦ Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E.s have active licenses by checking the NC Professional
Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0
when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone].
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ
Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria,
regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit
shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer

reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not approve. "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions.
Adequate information provided. regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: -An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently
under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (i.e dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent'generator with
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and project name. The Central
Office will review the variance request, and if approvable, specific language regarding the
variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit. A copy
of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file.

when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone] .
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ
Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria,
regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit
shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
