Dear Mr. Brooks:
Governor
MICHAEL S, REGAN
Secretary
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
The Division has reviewed your application, received on November 7, 2016, for coverage under General
Permit NCG550000. To enable us to complete our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A
NCAC 2H.0105, please provide additional or revised information to address the following comments:
1. Incomplete Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA): The Division requires applicants to fully
document and exhaust all alternatives to surface water discharge (G.S. § 143-215.1(b)(a) and 15A
NCAC 2H.0105 (c)(2)). Please evaluate the feasibility of the following alternatives: connection to a
municipal or regional sewer collection system; rehabilitation of the land where the current system
resides; land application, including onsite subsurface systems, drip irrigation and spray
irrigation; water reuse, in which all or a portion of the waste water generated is reused; direct
discharge to surface waters; or a combination of alternatives that would minimize or eliminate the
direct discharge alternative. Economic feasibility should include analysis of capital costs, recurring
costs, and lost opportunity costs. The message attached in the application from the engineering
representative indicated that the Buck Creek area is not currently serviced by any public sewer system,
an analysis prepared by a soil scientist stated that subsurface onsite systems (including aerobic drip
irrigation) are not feasible, and the Macon County Public Health Department denied an improvement
permit as the site was deemed unsuitable for a ground absorption sewage system.
2. Information for a 7Q10 was provided with the application. Please provide additional information for a
30Q2 to inform on low flow conditions at the site.
3. The application states that the residence contains two bedrooms. Based on a review of property records
by the Asheville Regional Office, the residence contains three bedrooms. Please confirm the number of
bedrooms in the residence.

permitting Section
On behalf of Joe Rayl and Rita Woodside (the Owners), we are submitting the attached
Notice of Intent for coverage under NCG550000. This Cover Letter is intended to provide a
narrative description of the project and serve as the request for the Authorization to
Construct.
Project Description
The Owners have recently made their residence at 147 Teague Estates Road in Macon
County their permanent home. The residence is an old log cabin structure which they are
renovating. They currently have an existing septic permit for a two bedroom house, but they
have been issued a Notice of Violation from the County Health Department as the drainfield
was damaged when they tried to repair some site surface drainage. They are expanding the
square footage of the house but it will remain a two bedroom home. The Owners have
attempted to find other land application options, but the site is extremely limited as it is right
on the bank of Buck Creek and the underlying ground appears to be comprised of river
cobble/fill. As they can not locate the existing septic tank, it has not been pumped.
Alternatives Feasibillj
a) The Buck Creek area of Macon County is not served by any public sewer system. It is
approximately two miles to the intersection of Buck Creek Road Highlands Highway.
b) A Septic System Rejection Letter from the Macon County Environmental Health
Department for a repair septic permit is provided as Attachment A. Also provided is the
Notice of Violation for the existing system.
c) A drip or spray irrigation system has greater area requirements than a subsurface drip
system due to setback requirements. Provided as Attachment B is a letter from a NC
Licensed Soil Scientist that the site is unsuitable for any type of subsurface system
(including drip) due to space limitations. Therefore a surface spray or drip system would
also be unsuitable due to limited space.
Receiving Waters
The receiving water is Buck Creek, a Class C Trout Stream. The 7Q10 report from the
USGS is provided as Attachment C. Approximate Lat/Long of the discharge location would
be 35.124/-83.259.

Additional Requirements
This application is being submitted by the consulting engineer representing Ms. Woodside as
her Authorized Representative. A letter authorizing this is provided in Attachment D.
Enclosed with this Cover Letter are three sets of sealed plans and specifications and a fee
check for $60. We appreciate your review of this application. We look forward to working
with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Brooks Engineering Associates, P.A.

Re: Application for Improvement Permit and Construction Authorization for Rita Woodside
Parcel ID #7522677203 Application #100216-S
Dear Rita Woodside:
The Macon County Health Department, Environmental Health Division on ni4a016 evaluated the
above -referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your
improvement permit application. According to your application the site ishto serve a proposed inbedroom home with a design wastewater flow of 240 gallons per day. The
accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute
130A-333 including related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rule .1900 and related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground
absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is DENIED. A copy of
the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following:
• Unsuitable soil topography and/or Landscape position (Rule .1940)
• Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941)
❑ Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942)
O Unsuitable sod depth (Rule .1943)
❑ Presence of restrictive horizon (Rule .1944)
Z Insufficient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1945)
3 Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950)
J Other (Rule .1946) Specify -
These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge
of untreated sewage on the ground surface, into surface waters, directly to ground water or inside your
structure
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative
or alternative systems. However, the Health Department has determined that none of the above options
will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to
dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off -site to additional property.
For the reasons set out above, the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE, and no
improvement permit shall be issued for site in accordance with Rule .1948(c).
However, the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE
if written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy of this rule is
enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan under which your
site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
You have a right to a formal appeal of this decision. To pursue a formal appeal, you must file a
petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. To get a copy of the petition form, you may write the Office of Administrative
Hearings or call the office at [phone] or from the OAH web site at
http://www.ncoah.comfforms.shtml. The petition for a contested case hearing must be filed in
accordance with the provision of North Carolina General Statutes 130A-24 and 1508-23 and all other

applicable provisions of Chapter 150B. N.C. General Statute 130A-335 (g) provides that your hearing
would be held in the county where your property is located.
Please note: If you wish to pursue a formal appeal, you must file the petition form with the Office
of Administrative Hearings WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER. The date of this letter
is 10/6/2016. Meeting the 30 day deadline is critical to your right to a formal appear. Beginning a formal
appeal within 30 days tivill not interfere with any informal review that you might request. Do not wait for
the outcome of any informal review if you wish to file a formal appeal.
If you file a petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, you
are required by law (N.C. General Statute 150B-23) to send a copy of your petition to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Send the copy to: Office of General Counsel, N.C.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1601.
Do NOT send the copy of the to your local health department. Sending a copy of your petition to the
local health department will not satisfy the legal requirement in N.C. General Statute 150B-23 that you
send a copy to the Office of General Counsel, NCDENR.
You may call or write the local health department if you need any additional information or
assistance.

INTRODUCTION
The following Soils Evaluation was completed for Lot 28 in the Teague Estates
Subdivision (147 Teague Estates Road) in Cullasaja (Macon County), North Carolina.
This evaluation was conducted to determine the potential of a 0.42 acre parcel to utilize
an onsite subsurface septic system for a 2-bedroom house (240 gallons per day). The site
has an existing 2-bedroom house (with existing septic system), however a 3 car garage
with expanded master bedroom addition is being proposed. The final bedroom count will
remain 2-bedroom. The property was evaluated in accordance with North Carolina
statutes for waste disposal Systems ("Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and
Disposal Systems", (amended October 2011)) as part of the planning process to evaluate
areas of soil with potential for subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal.
PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR'S CREDENTIALS
James Tipton:
N.C. Licensed Soil Scientist (Certification # 1335)
N.C. Registered Sanitarian (Certification #1551)
N.C. Licensed Installer (Certification # 4392 - Level IV)
N.C. Licensed Subsurface Operator (Certification # 995647)
Steven. J. Melin: N.C. Licensed Soil Scientist (Certification # 1254)
SITE HISTORY AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The subject property is located off of Teague Estates Road in Cullasaja (Macon County).
The site borders Buck Creek. Site vegetation consists predominately of rhodendron
vegetation and rock outcrops. An existing (2 bedroom) home is located on the property.
An existing septic tank and drainfield accommodate this house. According to County
notes this system was installed in 1975. The drainfield showed no evidence of failure,
however it was noted from the County that the existing drainfield is currently being
driven on (in the parking area). The existing drainfield is located where the addition is
being proposed.
METHODOLOGY
The site was most recently investigated on June 9th, 2016 by making observations of the
landscape (slope, drainage patterns, past use, etc.) as well as soil properties (depth,
texture, structure, seasonal wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) with hand auger borings (or
probing) to a depth > 50 inches when possible. The area was extensively probed to
determine rock restriction.

FINDINGS
The soils present at the site are limited by a restrictive topography and shallow depth to
the presence of rock. Additionally, the potential usable area is limited by cuts greater
than 2 feet as well as gullies.
Please note that these restrictive characteristics (soil and space) will prohibit the use of
subsurface onsite systems (including aerobic drip irrigation). Therefore it has been
determined that there is insufficient soil material and insufficient space to allow for any
type of subsurface onsite septic system.
An available option for this site may be to direct discharge into the surrounding Buck
Creek (NPDES discharge permit). This option would need to be pursued through the NC
Division of Water Resources.
CONCLUSION
The findings presented herein represent Mountain Soils Inc. professional opinion based
on our site and soils evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and regulations
governing on -site wastewater systems in North Carolina (Section .1900 of the North
Carolina Administrative Code). We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with our
professional services and hope that you will contact us if you have any questions or if we
can be of further assistance.

7Q10 Report

Mark Brooks
From: Weaver, John <[e-mail]>
Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2016 11:24 AM
To: Mark Brooks
Cc: John C Weaver
Subject: Response from USGS concerning...Re: 7Q10 flow
Mr. Brooks,
Please accept my apologies for the delayed response to your October 19th email. The email arrived as our office was conducting post -
Hurricane Matthew field work. Thank you for your patience these past few weeks.
In response to your inquiry about the low -flow characteristics (7Q10) for Buck Creek near Gneiss in southeastern Macon County, the
following information is provided:
A check of the low -flow files here at the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center (Raleigh office) does not indicate a previous low -flow
determination on Buck Creek at the point of interest, as identified by the lat/long coordinates you provided (35.124, -83.259) via email dated
October 19, 2016. No USGS discharge records are likewise known to exist for the point of interest.
In the absence of site -specific discharge records sufficient for a low -flow analysis, estimates of low -flow characteristics at ungaged locations
are determined by assessing a range in the low -flow yields (expressed as flow per square mile drainage area, of cfsm) at nearby sites where
such estimates have previously been determined.
A basin delineation completed using the online USGS StreamStats application for North Carolina
(http://water.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/north carolina.html) indicates the drainage area for the point of interest is approximately 9.7 sqmi.
For streams in Macon County, low -flow characteristics published by the USGS are provided in two reports:
(1) The first is a statewide report completed in the early 1990's. It is USGS Water -Supply Paper 2403, "Low -flow characteristics of streams
in North Carolina" (Giese and Mason, 1993). An online version of the report is available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2403/report.pdf. The
report provides the low -flow characteristics (based on data through 1988) via regional relations and at -site values for sites with drainage
basins between 1 and 400 sqmi and not considered or known to be affected by regulation and/or diversions.
(2) The second is a statewide report published in March 2015. It is USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5001, "Low -flow
characteristics and flow -duration statistics for selected USGS continuous -record streamgaging stations in North Carolina through 2012"
(Weaver, 2015). The report is available online at http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2015/5001/. The report provides updated low -flow characteristics
and flow -duration statistics for 266 active (as of 2012 water year) and discontinued streamgages across the state where a minimum
of 10 climatic years discharge records were available for flow analyses.
Inspection of both reports indicates the presence of 8 nearby selected USGS partial -record sites (6) and continuous -record streamgages (6) in
general vicinity of the point of interest where low -flow characteristics have previously been published. Among these 8 sites, the
annual 7Q10 yields range from 0.26 to 0.71 cfsm (average approximately 0.49 cfsm).
Applying the above annual 7Q10 yield range to the drainage area for the point of interest (9.7 sqmi) results in an estimated
annual 7Q10 discharge from about 2.5 to 6.9 cfs (average approximately 4.8 cfs).
Please note the estimated flows are provided in units of cubic feet per second (cfs).
Please understand the information provided in this message is based on a preliminary assessment and considered provisional, subject to
revision pending further analyses.
Hope this information is helpful.
Thank you.
Curtis Weaver

Dear Homeowners:

Director
Subject: Refusal of Coverage
Under NPDES General Permit NCG550000
Application for Certificate of Coverage (COC)
NCG551707 for Single -Family Residence (SFR)
147 Teague Estates Road, Highlands, NC 28741
Macon County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) received your application requesting Certificate of
Coverage (COC) under the subject General Permit. We regret to inform you that this application must be
denied.
Only after the Director determines that an intended discharge meets surface water -quality standards may
the Division issue a General Permit COC [15A NCAC 02H .0107(d)]. This original system serviced a 3-
bedroom, single-family residence (permitted at 360 GPD). We must deny your application under
NCG550000 because:
1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate substantial compliance with local and state
regulations for the protection of the environment, per G.S. 143-215.1 (b)(4)(b)(2). The
applicant received a denial from Macon County for a building permit due to the location
of the proposed construction being on top of the existing septic system and drain field.
Subsequent to that denial, the applicant commenced construction activities on top of the
existing septic system and drain field. During construction, the lines of the drain field
were severed, rendering the septic system inoperable.
2. Per 15A NCAC 02H .0112 (b)(6)(A), the Director is authorized to deny a permit
application where necessary to effectuate the purposes of Article 21 Chapter 143. An
application for a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under NPDES General Permit
NCG550000 requires an applicant to address the feasibility of alternatives to discharging
wastewater to surface waters. In this case, the applicant violated local ordinances,
which resulted in destruction of the existing wastewater treatment system and
elimination of a viable alternative to discharging to surface waters. To issue a permit
under these circumstances would be contrary to the purposes of Article 21, Chapter 143.
Therefore, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0112(6), your application for a COC under NPDES
General Permit NCG550000 is hereby refused and returned to you [15A NCAC 2H.0107(d)]. You may
contest this decision as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of General Statute 150B by filing a written petition for

This completes the review of the Division under 15A NCAC 02H .0100. Please be aware that you have no
authorization under North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 to discharge wastewater to waters of the state for
this activity, and any work done within waters of the state would violate North Carolina General Statutes and
Administrative Code. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Brianna Young at

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Mikal Willmer and Tim Heim with the Asheville Regional Office conducted a reconnaissance inspection
of the property located at 147 Teague Estates Rd in Macon County. This inspection was conducted to
gather additional information about site suitability for a potential issuance of a General NPDES
discharge permit through the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. Mark Brooks, Brooks
Engineering, was contacted before the site visit
Observations of the subject property, site history and receiving stream are as follows:
There are currently two structures located on the property. Permit application indicates a request for a
permitted flow of 240 gpd, however, property records list three bedrooms in the main structure. There
are no records for the projected flow of the second structure. Discussions with the Macon County
Environmental Health Department indicate drain lines were/are connected to the current septic tank
from the secondary structure. Need clarification on number of bedrooms for permitted flow.
Inspectors saw evidence of a current construction project. Footers and rebar were observed on the
right side of the main structure. Inspectors learned from the Macon County Environmental Health
Department this area is part of the original septic system. An NOV from the Macon County
Environmental Health Department lists the owners as non-compliant because drain lines were severed
during construction. According to Macon County Environmental Health Officials, the owners were
previously denied an improvement permit in 2015 because the structure being built would be located
over the current septic system. The property is unsuitable for repair. No repair area designated in 1974.
Additionally, Inspectors observed construction debris and materials on the edge of the bank above
Buck Creek. Several pieces of debris were observed within Buck Creek.

Re: Application for Improvement Permit and Construction Authorization for Rita Woodside
Parcel ID #7522677203 Application #100216-S
Dear Rita Woodside:
The Macon County Health Department, Environmental Health Division on 10/4/2016 evaluated the
above-referenced property at the site designated on the plat/site plan that accompanied your
improvement permit application. According to your application the site is to serve a proposed two
bedroom home with a design wastewater flow of 240 gallons per day. The evaluation was done in
accordance with the laws and rules governing wastewater systems in North Carolina General Statute
130A-333 including related statutes and Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rule .1900 and related rules.
Based on the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, Rules .1940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site is UNSUITABLE for a ground
absorption sewage system. Therefore, your request for an improvement permit is DENIED. A copy of
the site evaluation is enclosed. The site is unsuitable based on the following:
Z Unsuitable soil topography and/or landscape position (Rule .1940)
Unsuitable soil characteristics (structure or clay mineralogy) (Rule .1941)
Unsuitable soil wetness condition (Rule .1942)
Unsuitable soil depth (Rule .1943)
Presence of restrictive horizon (Rule .1944)
r Insufficient space for septic system and repair area (Rule .1945)
Unsuitable for meeting required setbacks (Rule .1950)
Other (Rule .1946) Specify -
These severe soil or site limitations could cause premature system failure, leading to the discharge
of untreated sewage on the ground surface, into surface waters, directly to ground water or inside your
structure
The site evaluation included consideration of possible site modifications, and modified, innovative
or alternative systems. However, the Health Department has determined that none of the above options
will overcome the severe conditions on this site. A possible option might be a system designed to
dispose of sewage to another area of suitable soil or off-site to additional property.
For the reasons set out above, the property is currently classified UNSUITABLE, and no
improvement permit shall be issued for site in accordance with Rule .1948(c).
However, the site classified as UNSUITABLE may be classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE
if written documentation is provided that meets the requirements of Rule .1948(d). A copy of this rule is
enclosed. You may hire a consultant to assist you if you wish to try to develop a plan under which your
site could be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE.
You have a right to a formal appeal of this decision. To pursue a formal appeal, you must file a
petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. To get a copy of the petition form, you may write the Office of Administrative
Hearings or call the office at [phone] or from the OAH web site at
http://www.ncoah.com/forms.shtml. The petition for a contested case hearing must be filed in
accordance with the provision of North Carolina General Statutes 130A-24 and 150B-23 and all other
applicable provisions of Chapter 150B. N.C. General Statute 130A-335 (g) provides that your hearing
would be held in the county where your property is located.
Please note: If you wish to pursue a formal appeal, you must file the petition form with the Office
of Administrative Hearings WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER. The date of this letter
is 10/6/2016. Meeting the 30 day deadline is critical to your right to a formal appeal. Beginning a formal
appeal within 30 days will not interfere with any informal review that you might request. Do not wait for
the outcome of any informal review if you wish to file a formal appeal.
If you file a petition for a contested case hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings, you
are required by law (N.C. General Statute 150B-23) to send a copy of your petition to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Send the copy to: Office of General Counsel, N.C.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1601.
Do NOT send the copy of the to your local health department. Sending a copy of your petition to the
local health department will not satisfy the legal requirement in N.C. General Statute 150B-23 that you
send a copy to the Office of General Counsel, NCDENR.

Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (15A NCAC 18A .1900)
North Carolina Administrative Code 9/11/98
Rule .1948 SITE CLASSIFICATION
a) Sites classified as SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground absorption sewage treatment and
disposal system consistent with these Rules. A suitable classification generally indicates soil and
site conditions favorable for the operation of a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal
system or have slight limitations that are readily overcome by proper design and installation,
b) Sites classified as PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE may be utilized for a ground absorption
sewage treatment and disposal system consistent with these Rules but have moderate limitations.
Sites classified Provisionally Suitable require some modifications and careful planning,design, and
installation in order for a ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system to function
satisfactorily.
c) Sites classified UNSUITABLE have severe limitations for the installation and use of a properly
functioning ground absorption sewage treatment and disposal system. An improvement permit
shall not be issued for a site which is classified as UNSUITABLE. However, where a site is
UNSUITABLE, it may be reclassified PROVISIONALLY SUITABLE if a special investigation
indicates that a modified or alternative system can be installed in accordance with Rules .1956 or
1957 of this Section.
d) A site classified as UNSUITABLE may be used for a ground absorption sewage treatment and
disposal system specifically identified in Rules .1955_1956. .1957.1957 of this Section or a system
approved under Rule .1969 if written documentation, including engineering, hydrogeologic,
geologic, or soil studies, indicates to the local health department that the proposed system can be
expected to function satisfactorily. Such sites shall be reclassified as PROVISIONALLY
SUITABLE if the local health department determines that the substantiating data indicate that:
1) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will he non-
pathogenic, non-infectious, non-toxic, and non-hazardous;
2) the effluent will not contaminate groundwater or surface water; and
3) the effluent will not be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to
surface waters where it could come in contact with people, animals, or
vectors.
The State shall review the substantiating data if requested by the local health department.

Mikal,

Please see attached summary --- as I can delineate as of today.

I received the copy of the “Request for Additional Information”, dated 2/26/2017.
I, personally, am unable to address these items, as I am not aware of the forms needed to be filed.
Mr. Brooks is best qualified to make the requested reply on behalf of the Owners.

Regarding the overall Number of Bedrooms:
The main residence ONLY CONTAINS two sleeping rooms--- we are proposing removing an attic loft
bedroom and replacing same with the new, enlarged master bedroom,
(2 bedrooms existing, 2 bedrooms proposed) accessed through this loft space.
The third bedroom depicted on the land records, is apparently within the cottage. We have been
told that this structure IS NOT a sleeping room, but, nonetheless, that structure is not being affected
by the proposed renovations, so IF THAT WERE considered a third bedroom, we would be looking at
a 3 bedroom existing to a 3 bedroom proposed.

Let me know if I can do anything further to help the cause.

Thanks Tom,

Do you have any additional information regarding the statement from the inspection report:

“According to Macon County Environmental Health Officials, the owners were previously denied an
improvement permit in 2015 because the structure being built would be located over the current septic
system. "

This would seem to indicate prior knowledge of the system’s location.

Also, per the inspection report, it appears that the ancillary structure (on the upstream side) was also connectedto the septic system. Do you have a plan showing what will be included there as part of the renovation?

Thanks,

-Tim

Please see attached.
The master bedroom wing WAS intended on being Phase 1 until we encountered the drain field
issues.
Now, Phase 2 is nearing completion (dining room and rec. room addition on the opposite end of the
house)
Once we get the septic issues resolved, it is our intention to jump back with the Phase One
improvements.
This existing residence HAD a two bedroom septic system, and we are proposing a 2 bedroom
replacement structure.
The ‘upper level loft area” used to serve as bedroom #2, but now, with the improvements will serve
as an access hallway to the new Master Bedroom.

Feel free to call with questions or comments.

John –
Thanks for responding. We submitted an application for Rita Woodside (Joe Rayle’s wife) for a single
family discharge system back in December. They have a failing septic, no repair, and Macon County
mandated they get the discharge permit. We have since then been trying to get a handle on where
the application is in the review process. Mr. Weaver was kind enough to look for the application and
he provided that status report that “it had not been issued to anyone”. We really are not sure what
that means and still have no idea what the time frame might be for the application review. The
owners have been in Florida for the winter but are planning on returning to their home in WNC but
they have working wastewater disposal. Can you give us some idea about the timeline for the
review? Thanks.

Mr. Hennessy –
Any way Mr. Rayle (owner) can get a status report of perhaps when to anticipate a response on the
application?
Thanks in advance for your response.

I haven’t heard anything. I got two new projects last week, but your project was not among them.

PLEASE have the County contact me if they are nagging you or the homeowner. I think I can mollify
them.

Charles –
Just checking back in. Has this been assigned to anyone? Again, the County is trying to fine the
owners for the failing septic system. He has held them at bay for now, but it would be helpful for
Rita and Joe to be able to provide some sort of timeline to the County. Thanks.

Mark – Our data system doesn’t show that it has been assigned to a reviewer.

I’ve copied my Supervisor on this email. John can let you know who has it…if it has been assigned.

Mr. Weaver –
My apologies. I am referring the Rita Woodside application (this is Mr. Rayle’s wife and is listed as
the property owner). Any update on the status of this?

Mr. Brooks:
There is no permit or application currently in-house for Mr. Rayle. There’s no one by that name in
our system.

We did receive an application for 147 Teague Estates Rd in Macon County on 11/7/2016. However,
the listed owner is Rita Woodside.

I’m sorry – I wish I had better news for you.

If you have a copy of Mr. Rayle’s application package, send it to my Supervisor:
John Hennessy
NC DEQ / DWR / NPDES
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699

If you need someone here to explain things for the Macon County Health Department, have them
contact me. We lost 3 staff members [out of 7] in December, and have just this week gotten one of
those vacancies filled. We have a lot of catching up to do.

Subject: Rayle SFR permit application - Macon County

Mr. Hennessy –
I am following up on the status of a permit submittal for a single family residential discharge permit
for Mr. Rayle in Macon County. The application was submitted November 3, 2016. Mr. Rayle had
received an NOV from the County Environmental Health Department and they required him to seek
a discharge permit. They are now wanting resolution so his failing septic can be abandoned. Any
idea on timing of this review? Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

WoodsideRayl septic summary.docx
Mikal,

Please see attached summary --- as I can delineate as of today.

I received the copy of the “Request for Additional Information”, dated 2/26/2017.
I, personally, am unable to address these items, as I am not aware of the forms needed to be filed.
Mr. Brooks is best qualified to make the requested reply on behalf of the Owners.

Regarding the overall Number of Bedrooms:
The main residence ONLY CONTAINS two sleeping rooms--- we are proposing removing an attic loft
bedroom and replacing same with the new, enlarged master bedroom,
(2 bedrooms existing, 2 bedrooms proposed) accessed through this loft space.
The third bedroom depicted on the land records, is apparently within the cottage. We have been
told that this structure IS NOT a sleeping room, but, nonetheless, that structure is not being affected
by the proposed renovations, so IF THAT WERE considered a third bedroom, we would be looking at
a 3 bedroom existing to a 3 bedroom proposed.

Let me know if I can do anything further to help the cause.

TER

Thanks Tom,
Would you mind summarizing, in an email, the topics discussed this morning (the camera work and
subsequent steps)? Also, if you have plans for the home that show the planned number of
bathrooms and bedrooms for the main structure and the ancillary building, could you include those
as well? We will send the additional information to Raleigh.

Thank you,
