Dear Representative Ramsey:

HNF=1
Subject: English Wolf Lodge
Madison County
This letter is to confirm our recent discussions concerning the
status of wastewater treatment facilities serving the English Wolf
Lodge (also known as the Wolf Laurel Inn). English Wolf Lodge is a
40 unit motel/inn which is owned by Mr. Orvelle English. The Lodge
is served by a 7,000 gallon per day wastewater treatment facility
that discharges into Wolf Laurel Branch, a Class C Trout Water
stream. As you may recall, we classify wastewater treatment
facilities according to their size and complexity. The facility serving
the Lodge is classified Class II.
The treatment facilities serving the Lodge were initially
constructed without first obtaining authorization from the Division of
Environmental Management (now the Division of Water Quality). Our
Asheville Regional Office staff worked with the owners of the facility
to secure the necessary approvals to operate the facility.
A few years ago, in reviewing self -monitoring reports
submitted by the facility, we confirmed that the operator in
responsible charge of the facility had falsified the data on the
monitoring reports. The operator resigned and voluntarily
surrendered his operators certification.
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535

There are a number of requirements associated with operation
of a Class II facility, including sample collection and analysis and
daily visits to the facility by the operator in responsible charge. Mr.
English has regularly voiced his objections to the self -monitoring
requirements and their associated costs. However, monitoring and
reporting requirements for the Wolf Laurel Lodge are consistent with
those assigned to other Class II facilities across the state.
Division staff are currently working on a renewal of the NPDES
Permit for this facility, and it is expected that the new permit will
incorporate an increase in monitoring frequency from twice per
month to weekly for certain waste parameters (Biochemical Oxygen
Demand, Total Suspended Solids, pH, Fecal Coliform, and Ammonia).
We have encouraged the owners to explore elimination of the surface
water discharge in favor of a land -based disposal option. Based on
recent conversations with the Asheville Regional Office staff, it is my
understanding that the owners are currently pursuing approval of a
septic tank system for disposal of the wastewater. The owners have
purchased land adjacent to the Lodge and have received preliminary
approval of the site from the Madison County Health Department.
Construction of a septic tank system will eliminate the necessity for
discharge of the wastewater, and thus eliminate a significant amount
of the ongoing operation and maintenance costs.
I have discussed the monitoring requirements for the facility
with our Asheville staff, and have decided that the Division will not
increase the monitoring requirements in the permit (from 2/month
to weekly) that is up for renewal so long as Mr. English continues to
aggressively pursue elimination of the discharge.
I apologize for the delay in getting this letter to you. If you
have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance to you in
this or any other matter, please call on me.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.

4. Other: none
PART IV �- EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Orville English has purchased property adjacent to the Lodge
and will be installing a conventional septic tank - sand filter
system to'treat the wastewater, since the wwtp flows are so low.

s
monitoring and composite samples. To satisfy the continuous
flow monitoring requirement, a water meter was installed and
flows are recorded daily. The permittee never has installed
a composite sampler. It is recommended that the composite
sample requirement be dropped from the permit.
3. Additional effluent limits requests: none
4. Other: none
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
* I spoke with both Mr. Orville English and the sanitarian
supervisor, Mr. Ronnie Ledford, this week about the installation
of conventional ground absorption system. Mr. Orville English is
in the process of obtaining property adjacent to the Lodge
property and will be installing a 2,000 gpd conventional septic
tank - sand filter system to treat the wastewater, since the wwtp
flows arel,,so low. He wishes to maintain the NPDES permit and
WWTP in the event that his business and flows increase.
* It is recommended that the permit be issued with the
deletion of the composite sample requirement.
* In addition, it is recommended that there be two limits
pages issued.
1) One, which will require twice a month monitoring for
BOD, TSS, fecal coliform and ammonia when flows are
< or = 2,000 gallons per day.
21 The other, which will require weekly monitoring for
those same parameters when flows are between > 21000
and 7,000 gallons per day.
* This is a class II facility which requires a daily visit by
the operator.
The draft permit changed the temperature monitoring
requirement from weekly to daily. The data obtained from
monitoring temperature daily is of no value to DEM nor the
operator, since there is nothing that the permittee or operator
can do about this.
The draft permit also changed the total residual chlorine
monitoring requirement from daily to twice a week.
It would be more beneficial to increase the TRC monitoring
requirement instead of decreasing it and to decrease the
temperature monitoring instead of increasing it.
Therefore, it is recommended that TRC monitoring be required
daily andl,ithe temperature monitoring be required weekly.
* In addition, the 2B.0500 regs should also be changed to
require daily TRC and weekly temperature at class II facilities.
Since these facilities require a daily operator visit, it would
-3-

be prudent to require monitoring that has the potential to
protect water quality, rather than daily monitoring a parameter
for which the operator or permittee has no control.
* Per your request, it is verified that the only other
discharger to the Wolf Laurel Branch is Carolina Water
Service's plant which serves Blue Mountain Golf and Country
Club (NC0076431), formerly known as Walnut Mountain Ventures.
The drawing attached to the stream -lined renewal package
indicated that there was another discharger, namely, Wolf Laurel
Ski Resort at flows of 0.03 MGD. This appears to be in error, as
the ski resort is on a conventional ground absorption system.
It is recommended that the permit be renewed.
