Permit Numbe[%'
Fletcher Academy
Henderson County
Attached is the report resulting from my October 30, 2007 Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of the wastewater collection system serving Fletcher Academy. The inspection
consists of a review of mapping and documents relating to collection system operational
and maintenance activities at Fletcher Academy. An excellent map of the system has been
prepared. The Academy needs to develop an operational plan for the system which
addresses pump station inspection frequency, preventative maintenance schedule, spare
parts inventory and system overflow response.
The Academy needs to make a general observation of the entire annually and document
same. Twice annually, the Academy needs to communicate with its sewer customers
regarding the proper disposal of residential grease. All of these requirements are
discussed in the attachment to our September 6, 2001 letter to you.
For your future reference I will remind you that the Division has assigned "Deemed"
Permit Number WQCSD0281 to the Fletcher Academy collection system. Should you
have need to discuss these matters, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659.

Dear Mr. Nash:
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%2OSystems/CollectionSystemsHome.htmI
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspections sometime in the near future.
