A. (2) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S.' 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).
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part 11 of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting (Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5) (a)1
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 / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 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.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr org/web/wq/admin/bog/i u/echiu

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.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period
of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with
the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 18
(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. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
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).
DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Effluent
Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source
whether treated or untreated.
EMC

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.
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).
Version 1110912011.1

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions

Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA.
Instantaneous flow measurement
The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in
that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab
samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge
during that sampling period.
Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority

PART IV
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
Section A. Definitions.
In addition to the definitions in Part II of this permit, the following definitions apply to municipal facilities:
Indirect Discharge or Industrial User
Any non -domestic source that discharges wastewater containing pollutants into a POTW regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the CWA. [40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)]
Interference
Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization.
This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T
.0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government
organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges
to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW
treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of
POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)]
"Significant Industrial User" or "SIU"
An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(33)1:
1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary,
noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a

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.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
-with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and

totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may 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.

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.
Daily Sampling
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

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.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, 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 Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 ,hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only, be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

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 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the

under the NPDES. 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,Ovalues of "0" (or "< [detection levq'� shall be considered =1.
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

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional) sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
I met with Dwayne Owens and Glenn Griffith for an complaint investigation and follow up inspection of
the Kanuga Conferences WWTP on May 29, 2019. Ricky Varnadore, the former ORC had resigned
his post just days prior to this inspection.
Neither.Mr. Owens or Mr. Griffith have any wastewater certifications at the moment, so I advised them
to seek a contract operator to be ORC of the facility until one of them can acquire a WW 1 license.
There is water emerging from a slope between the upper and lower sand filter beds. According to Mr.
Griffith, the water has been tested and determined to be a natural spring. I asked them to retest the
emerging water for fecal coliform, BOD, and ammonia, and to send me the lab reports.
The sampling conducted at the facility is still all grab sampling despite the permit requirement that
BOD, TSS, and ammonia all be composite sampled. This needs to be addressed and will probably
require the installation of a new flow meter as well as a sampler.

To whom it may concern,
Kanuga Conferences (NC0024431) does not have a sludge management
plan for the facility.
Our facility starts will a septic tank (approx.18,000 gal.) where the solids are
trapped and the liquids move to our dosing tank. Like all septic tanks we do
monitor the solids that build up on either the bottom of the tank or float to the
top. When this mat gets to thick we will have a septic company pump the solids
out and haul off to a larger waste recycler.
Sincerely,
&aJO

Good Morning Ricky,
Mark Upright is giving you signatory authority but you have yourself as the new signing official on the Permit
Name/Ownership change form. Did Mark Upright take Ridgeway Lynch's place as the responsible official for this facility?
If so, Mr. Upright's name should be listed on #3 of that form. Our database shows Mr. Lynch as the Owner/responsible

WATER CUALITY SECTION
ASH_VILLE R-GiC?d !_ CF710E
On July 20, 1999, the North. Carolina General Assembly ratified House
Clean Water Act of 1999, which placed significant new reporting requirements on those
entities that own or operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. Specific items
included:
1. A Spill Response Plan
2. Sewer Collection System Operation & Maintenance Plan
3. Annual Performance Report
These new requirements became effective October 1, 1999.
This report is designed to meet the minimum requirements for the Annual Performance
Report established by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DEHNR) as set forth in their guidance document dated October 19, 1999.
This law was established to provide a mechanism for public oversight (and hopefully, to
instill public confidence) in owners and operators of wastewater treatment systems and in
their efforts to protect the waters of the state.

Dear Mr. Lynch:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $337.00
($200.00 civil penalty + $137.00 enforcement costs) against Kanuga Conferences Inc.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Kanuga Conferences Inc. for the month of July 2011. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO024431. The violations which occurred in
July 2011 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Kanuga Conferences Inc. violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO024431 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

$337.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of.
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. I (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

for an administrative 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 when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings
accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for
official state holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office

Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please
be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review
period of this assessment.

factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);

was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;

(July20tl DMR)
County: Henderson
Case Number: LV-2012-0095
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 Daily Max Fecal coliforms exceeded the permit limit each by 50 %.
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 pumping & cleaning out the
septic tanks and the chlorine contact dosing tanks before violations occurred. It
would also include maintaining the sand beds.
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.
$137.00.

To Whom It May Concern:
Per your letter dated May 4, 2012, Kanuga Conferences, Inc. is in violation of two fecal coliform
parameters as determined in a self -monitoring report from July of 2011. The report states that the fecal
coliform value was 600 #/100 ml on both July 5 and July 12 of 2011, which is 200 pounds over the
400#/100 ml permit limit.
Upon learning about the violations, Kanuga's property managers responded immediately in the following
ways:
July 13, 2011: W&S Maintenance Unlimited, Inc. was contracted to pump and dispose of six loads
of sludge from Kanuga's waste water treatment plant digester.
July 20, 2011: W&S Maintenance Unlimited, Inc. was contracted to pump and clean the waste
water treatment plant chlorination chamber. Seven hours were spent on the task and five loads of
sludge were removed and disposed of.
July 26, 2011: A self -monitoring report was conducted and indicated that all fecal coliform values
were well within permit limits.
August 25, 2011: I completed and sent to you a facility status form acknowledging the two
violations and indicating how they were corrected.
Since a self -monitoring report taken on July 26, 2011, all levels have been normal and within permit limits
as documented in monthly reports through March of 2012. The April self -monitoring report is being
processed here now and will be sent to you shortly.
Kanuga Conferences, Inc. assumes that the corrective actions taken and 10 months of normal self -
monitoring reports resolves any questions and concerns around the fecal coliform violations from July of
2011. If that is not the case, please contact me at 828-692-0077 ext. 221.

This may require a DOTS ticket request.
RIMS is showing the 400/100 ml limit as a Weekly Average rather than as a Daily Max as prescribed by the permit.
Correction to BIMS is needed. The limit fields were not available for modification when I attempted to Maintain the
permit through Tasks. Charles, if you don't have the permission for this correction either, then a DOTS ticket will be
needed.

(I saw where you were the permit writer on this one.)
Hi Maureen---BIMS is not able to pick up 2 Fecal limit violations for Kanuga's July 2011 DMR because BIMS pops up a
window which says: there is no limit on fecal. The permit on BIMS shows Daily Max & Monthly Average limits for fecal.
Our hard copy permit here in the office shows Daily Max & Monthly Average limits for fecal. It was also entered
correctly by data entry as 2 >600 fecal coliforms on 7/5/11 & 7/12/11.
1 tried to manually enter the 2 fecal violations as "Limit Violations" on BIMS but it comes back with the window
which states there is no limit on fecal.
Can you fix this in BIMS? Thanks ---Janet

Remedial actions should be taken to correct this problem. The Division of Water Quality may pursue

Re: Notice of Violation
NOV-2009-NW-0056
We received a notice of violation NOV-2009-MV-0056, Permit number
NC0024431, Kanuga Conferences WWTP, Henderson County. This violation was
for failure to monitor chlorine two times during the week of January 18-24, 2009.
Looking into this I found that the error was made in transcribing the plant log to the
DMR form. The residual chlorine reading that was omitted was taken on Jan. 20, 2009
and is circled on the plant log. I have enclosed a copy of the plant log and an amended
copy of the DMR. Please accept this as amended and contact me if I can be of further
help. We try very hard to be compliant.
Thank you.

A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
1-26-2006 by Starr Silvis & Jim Reid.
The permit expires on 11/30/2010, please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was on -site, along with a complete copy of
the current permit.
This 0.035 MGD facility consists of two large septic tanks (each 301 x 10'W x 10'D), a dosing tank with a
solar -powered siphon which distributes flow into four sand filter beds. There is a tablet chlorinator, contact
basin, small polishing pond with an outlet dam to the receiving stream.
The septic tank sand filter effluent data was as follows on the day of the inspection.
pH = 7.5 units
Temperature = 10.2 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = 0.0 mg/I
The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events.
The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits.
This facility appears to be well operated and maintained.
The operators were on -site during the inspection and are doing a good job.
Sune-
On Jttly-1, 2007, the limit for total residual chlorine will take effect. Discussions were held regarding the
process for obtaining a fast track authorization to construct for dechlorination facilities. If you are unable to
meet this deadline, please contact the Asheville Regional Office prior to that date.

I. INTRODUCTION:
This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for
the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Most data appeared accurate.
Documentation needs to be improved.. Some further quality control procedures need to be
implemented.
Ill. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Documentation
A. COMMENT: Overall documentation needs to be improved.
NOTE: Items missing include initials, sample location, units, and time of sample collection/analysis.
Currently, the time of arrival at the facility is documented.
REQUIREMENT: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified data
must consist of date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample analysis
time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and proper units of
measure for all analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1)...
Total Residual Chlorine
B. COMMENT: The facility has been analyzing for Free Chlorine not Total Residual Chlorine as
required by the permit.
REQUIREMENT: The DPD indicator powder must be for Total Residual Chlorine.. Ref: Standard
Methods, 18th Edition — Method 4500-CI G. 3.
C. COMMENT: The .pocket colorimeter has not had its internal, calibration curve verified across the
range of the meter with five standards.

Page 24
REQUIREMENT: A verification of the internal calibration curve must be performed annually. This is
performed by verifying the readings of five standards. The concentrations of the five standards must
bracket the concentration of the samples analyzed.. One of the standards must have a concentration
equal to or below the lower reporting concentration, It is recommended that the values obtained not
vary by more than 10% of the known value for standards. If the stored program readings vary by more
than the above acceptance criteria, the stored calibration program should not be used for quantitation
until troubleshooting is carried out to determine and correct the source of error. Ref: Standard Methods,
18th Edition - Method 4500-CI G., Method 1020E Quality Control (5) page 1-5 and Method 1070D 2.
D. COMMENT: A calibration verification standard is not analyzed.
NOTE: It is recommended that a gel type standard be used for this.
REQUIREMENT: Establish the true value of the Gel standard by reading the gel standard on a meter
that has just had the internal curve verified.. Assign that reading, as the true value of the gel standard.
Document this procedure. This procedure may be performed annually to verify gel standards that have
exceeded the documented expiration date.
REQUIREMENT: For analyses that require a series .of standards, a standard must be analyzed with
each group of samples to verify the standard curve. It is recommended that this verification standard
be approximately mid range. When the calibration verification standard varies by more than t 10%, or
is outside the established control limits, whichever is lower, the analysis is out of control. The analysis
must be terminated and the problem corrected.. Ref: Standard Methods, 18th Edition - Method 4500-CI
G.:, Method 1020E Quality Control (5) page 1-5 and Method 1070D 2.
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
A review of data was conducted. This consisted of comparing field testing records and "contract lab
reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to this Division.. Data were reviewed for
July, August, September, and October 2005. No errors were noted. It appears the facility is doing a
good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
This facility is doing a good job.overall. Correcting the above items should help to produce quality data
and meet certification requirements. Please submit a written reply to all lettered comments.

Dear Mr. Lynch:
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•//h2o enr state nc us/peres/Collection%2OSystems/CollectionSVstemsHome.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.

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

Division of Water Quality
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 Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. 1 (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of.Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

be submitted to the following address:

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;
One One Daily Max BOD exceeded the permit limit by 46.66 %.
One Daily Max Fecal coliform exceeded the permit limit by 50 %.
One Monthly Average Ammonia Nitrogen exceeded the permit limit by 35.45 %.
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 excess solids removal .and
additional sampling.
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.
$137.00.

To Whom It May Concern:
Per your letter dated January 8, 2013, Kanuga Conferences is in violation of three parameters in the
August 2012 self -monitoring report.
In explanation of the violations, due to heavy rainfall at the end of July and the beginning of August our
sand filter beds were getting saturated with out being able to have proper time to dry. During this time
all four of the sand beds were holding water, this made it hard to keep track of which beds had been
dumped on last.
Two other maintenance issues that we had that we were not aware of were that one of the plastic air
lines that controls which bed the water dumps on had a crack in it. With the sand beds holding water
because of the rain, we were not able to tell that the beds were not rotating to all four beds, but were
dumping on only one bed. The second issue that we had after we found that the beds were not rotating
and fixed the broken air line was that the 12 volt batteries that run the control box that makes all the
beds work properly were not holding a charge or not charging at all. The batteries were replaced with
new ones and were working and holding a charge.
Both of these maintenance issues were fixed as soon as possible. After making the repairs the plant
went back to working as normal. We worked closely with Environmental Testing Solutions on the
sampling. We did do an extra sample the month of August to make shore the plant was working
properly. Since the end of August and for the last four months we have been within the parameters of
our permit.
I hope that this additional information will help resolve any questions and concerns in the assessment of
Kanuga Conferences WWTP. If further assistance is needed please contact me at work 828-692-0077

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of.the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new, violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
3
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 Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I (b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative 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 when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings
accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except for
official state holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with the Office
of Administrative Hearings. The petition may be faxed - provided the original and one copy of the
document is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings within five (5) business days
following the faxed transmission. The mailing address for the Office of Administrative Hearings

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please
be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review
period of this assessment.
