On February 9,'2016, I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Wastewater Collection System that serves
Western Carolina University. Based on records reviewed, on -site visits to system components and interviews with staff,
the Wastewater Collection System was determined to be in compliance with permit WQCS00200. A report is attached for
your records with findings summarized: The collection system appears to be well maintained and operated, and record
keeping by Mr. Danner was excellent. The following items were noted during the inspection:
o Continue to maintain and utilize an updated collection system map. New projects connecting to or changing the
layout of the collection system should be added to the map as practical.
• Continue to operate and maintain the collection system in compliance with the requirements outlined in 15A
NCAC 02T for Wastewater Collection Systems.
The assistance of Mr. Wiley Danner and Mr. Lee Smith during the inspection was greatly appreciated. If there are
questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation, maintenance, or permit questions, please feel
free to contact me at,828-2964500. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments.

Dear Mr. Walker:
RECEIVED
APR 2 6 2013
DWQ/Surface Water Protection Section
Asheville Regional Office
In accordance with your application received February 18, 2013, and the additional information
received April 9, 2013, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.WQCS00200, dated April 24,
2013, to the Western Carolina University for the operation and maintenance of the subject
wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2021 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this
permit.
If you have not already done so please update the Operator in Responsible Charge information
by completing and submitting the ORC Designation . Form available at:
http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/tacu-downloads. A Back-up. Operator in Responsible Charge
should be designated within 120 days of the position becoming vacant.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly
installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection
with a separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines,
pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems; vacuum systems, etc.
and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport
wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and
operated- by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems
tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or
maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant

to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the
collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary
Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined
considering the.criteria listed in condition I(3)(a) and I(3)(b) of the permit and all other relevant
`information. -available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the
,permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the collection system must be
maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount
>that reaches surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure
to use for reporting SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff member (not email,
facsimile, or voicemail) at your regional DWQ office during regular business hours
(Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call
[phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current
Division approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit -and -to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, please utilize form CS-SSO consisting of two parts.
Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always been necessary.
Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I (3)
of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at
http://poital.ncdenr. org/web/wq/swp/ep ps/cs/ssorort.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be
issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to
submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if
enforcement action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill
is very comprehensive. Begin using this form immediately to report SSOs from the collection
system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant
until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five
days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the
receipt of this permit. This request -must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made,
this permit shall be final and binding.

NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF.ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
RALEIGH
SYSTEM -WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of
North Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations,
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO THE
Western Carolina University
Jackson County --
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 4 miles of gravity sewer, and all associated piping, valves, and
appurtenances required to make a complete and operational wastewater. collection- system to
serve the Western Carolina University and any deemed permitted satellite communities
pursuant to the application received February 13, 2013, and in conformity with the documents
referenced therein and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2021, and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the TWSA
WWTP #2 Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0020214) prior to'being disposed into the
receiving stream. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or
modification of your NPDES permit(s).
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and
operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any
contamination of groundwater. In the event that the wastewater collection system fails to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall
take immediate corrective actions, including actions that may be required by the Division
of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement sewer
lines and/or equipment.
3. The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be
reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were

caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee
demonstrates through properly signed, contemporaneous operating. logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
a. The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible
alternatives to the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate
back-up equipment, or an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision
is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment, the
Permittee should have installed auxiliary or additional collection system
components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities, adequate back-up
equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b. The SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors
beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could -not have been
prevented by the exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management,
operation and maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system
facilities or components (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection
facilities to accommodate growth or adequately controlling and -preventing
infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance; or installation of adequate back-
up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the
criteria of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with
the spill report required by Condition IV(2) (Le., within five days) in order to be
considered for immunity from enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current
Division approved form, shall be used for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of
proof that the above criteria have been met.
4. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be
properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and
service laterals; to address flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action
as required by Condition 1(5).
5. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
that shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both
residential and non-residential users. The- Permittee shall also develop and implement
an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the
Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the
terms of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
6. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP
should address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP
should typically cover a three to five year period and . include a goal statement,
description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies
(over a reasonable period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the
CIP.

7. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are
allowable for portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the
wastewater treatment facility.
8. The Permittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station.
If one of the pumps in'a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of
repairing or replacing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump
shall be installed as soon as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it
shall be replaced immediately.
9. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station
identifier and an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can
initiate or perform emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per

Permit: WQCS00200 Owner - Facility: Western Carolina University
Inspection Date: 03/14/2012 Inspection Type: Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Met with WCU representatives; Terry Rioff, Wiley Danner, Bill Manware, Andy Degrove and Curtis Montieth to check the
sewerline receiving the geothermal drill water from the Harrill Hall construction site. This insepction was not a complete
inspection of the entire WCU Collection System. Aspects of the overall WCU Collection System management were
discussed, but the focus of this inspection was the sewerline associated with Harrill Hall.
The Harrill Hall residence is being built with Geothermal wells for energy efficiency. During the drilling of these
Geothermal wells -large quantities of water was encountered. This geothermal drill water was being discharged to the
adjacent stream and causing water quality standard violation's: After many attempts to continue the drilling operation,
while maintaining compliance with the surface water quality standards failed, the well drilling contractor was told to stop
drilling. The University and TWSA agreed to allow the drill water to be discharged to the Collection System and the
WWTP for treatment. This is a good viable solution to completing the project and to alleviate the drill water problem.
However, if WCU or TWSA have problems to their systems from the drill water they have the authority to tell the
contractor to discontinue discharging to their system.
Note: Follow up conversation with Andy Degrove indicated the well drilling is completed and preliminary inspections of the
Collection System did not reveal any problems associated with the drill water discharge.

Attached is the report resulting from the Western Carolina University Collection System Permit
Compliance Evaluation Inspection that we conducted on April 26, 2007. We came away well
pleased with the job that the Facilities Management. staff is doing in operating its wastewater
collection system.
Please start maintaining system cleaning records in such a way that the total of feet of line
cleaned is apparent. At time of the next inspection, please include a sample of the type of
information submitted to request capital funds for collection system improvements in the
inspection notebook. All collection system permits require that Capital Improvement Plans
include a Goal Statement, description of project area, description of existing facilities, discussion
of known deficiencies and forecasted future needs. I suspect your collection system capital
improvements request include most of these items.

I have no knowledge of this and would state that WCU would be opposed to anything affecting the pool above the dam, river flow to the dam and flow below the dam, and
certainly any modifications (notch ?) to the dam.

Permit: WQCS00200 Owner - Facility: Western Carolina University
Inspection Date: 06/13/2006 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
WCU has the enviable record of having had no Sewer System Overflows (SSO). Facilities Management is doing a good
job of day to day maintenance of the collection system. Rather than having as a goal the reduction of SSOs, Facilities
Management should adopt the goal of reducing to the maximum extent possible the entry of infiltration and inflow into the
sanitary system. I offer this suggestion for the reason that the Tuckaseegee Water and Sewer Authority (TWSA) is
experiencing flow increases at its treatment plant during rainfall events. Reducing infiltration and inflow will benefit both
WCU and TWSA.
Following is a discussion of deficiencies noted during the inspection and in some cases, dates for compliance:
(1)A Public Education Program relating to proper disposal of residential grease needs to be put in place. Including a flyer
in the student orientation package for students living in housing units having cooking facilities was discussed. On or
before September 1, 2006 send the Asheville Regional Office a sample of what Facilities Management comes up with for
this purpose.
(2)Facilities Management has not developed a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the University's collection system.
Realizing that all such plans are wish lists until money is a appropriated, nontheless such plans serve to inform upper
management of the magnitude of the capital, needs. The CIP for the University collection system should cover a three to
five year period,include a Goal Statement, include a description of project area, include a description of the existing
facilities, include a description of known deficiencies and include a description of forecasted future needs. Please submit a
CIP to the Asheville Regional office.on or before, September 1, 2006.
(3) The collection system budget for 2005-2006 was not available during the inspection. On or before July 1, 2006 please
submit a copy of the budget to the Asheville Regional office.
(4)Facilities Management should initiate a records keeping system to track the semi-annual inspection of the three high
priority lines, all of which cross Cullowhee Creek and were observed during the inspection.
(5)Facilities Management needs a means of tracking and documenting the preventive maintenance of equipment which
would be used in response to SSOs.
(6) No Spill Response Action Plan was available during the inspection. On or before September 1, 2006 please submit a
complete Spill Response Action Plan to the Asheville Regional Office. The Plan should include 24-hour contact numbers
for employees and contractors, a discussion of the expected response time, -list of equipment and spare parts available to
respond to an emergency, available post spill site sanitation and cleanup materials and -procedures and post overflow
assessment procedures. A copy of the Plan should be made available to all employeees.
(7) Facilities Management has developed a good map of the University's collection system. In order to comply with the
requirements of Collection System Permit Number WQCS00200 the University needs to add the following pieces of
information to its present map: pipe material, flow direction arrows and pipe age.

WATER QUALITY SECTION II
ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE I
2007 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE R T"-­•°
Western Carolina University owns and maintains approximately 20,000 feet- of wastewater lines and 90
manholes for the purpose of wastewater collection. The lines and manholes are all located within the WCU
campus.
The wastewater collection lines empty into sewer lines owned and maintained by Tuckaseigee Water and
Sewer Authority.
During the 2006 calendar year the wastewater collection system performed satisfactorily resulting in no
wastewater reaching surface waters.
Towards the. end of 2004, an engineer was employed to evaluate the integrity of the system. Findings were
detailed in a report and we have undertaken a program to upgrade the system to prevent problems. Some of
these activities include;
A formal program of inspection and cleaning.
Reworking an improperly sloped line.
Quarterly cleaning of cafeteria grease traps.
Repairs to leaks to prevent influx of rain water. Sewage did not leak out !
During the 2006 calendar year:
20 % or approximately 4,000 feet of collection pipe was cleaned and inspected and found it -to be in
satisfactory condition.
18 manholes were inspected. Three had loose lid rings, they were repaired. Brick work in six other
manholes was regrouted.
Critical parts of the system, where it crosses Cullowhee Creek, were inspected and found to be in

r
satisfactory condition.

SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE
SANITARY WASTE COLLECTION
SYSTEM
PREPARED BY: COLLECTIONS ORC
CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA
DULY, 27 2006

PURPOSE:
This plan is to be implemented in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow, (SSO)
or spill within the Collection System. The plan was developed to insure the key personnel
response to every spill event within sixty (60) minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate
attention. The Collection System ORC or his appointed Back-up Operator will make the
preliminary assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That
assessment includes visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up will determine the
appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel as necessary. The
attached call back list will be maintained current and be ranked according to essential
response including, i.e. equipment operators. Local contractor may be employed as
deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort
should be made to minimize the spill event consistent with the containment and source
control section of this plan. The safety of the respondent should in no way be
compromised.
Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of
obstruction and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPILL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
. After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be
contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;
DWQ ASHEVILLE OFFICE 2090 U.S. HWY 70 SWANNANOA N.C. 28778
828-296-4500 FAX [phone]
1) The spill has reached surface waters, "Waters of the State" or
2) The spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gals.)
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate
volume, name of respondent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a full spill report form will be
filled out and kept on file.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT
PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment
should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment.
1) Wheri the -source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other
methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
to the least possible volume.
2) If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel
should be checked for;
a. Power'ON?
b. Check .breaker.
C. Breaker closed; check thermal'overloads. (External button).
d. Overload good, Check fuses, if you are trained to do so.
e. Is pump straining? (Clogged with debris?)
f. Do you smell a burnt motor?( contact vendor, from list)
g. Call for Electrician. (From attached list.)
3) ' Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks.)
b. Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters.)
l

If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact
Power Company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number
for location.
If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make
repairs. Re -order parts as they are used!
If the problem results from sewer blockage call for jet rodding machine.

COMMUNICATION, ASSESSMENT,
and
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE
SANITARY WASTE COLLECTION
SYSTEM
PREPARED BY: COLLECTIONS ORC
CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA
JULY, 27 2006

PURPOSE:
This plan is to be implemented in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow, (SSO)
or spill within the Collection System. The plan was developed to insure the key personnel
response to every spill event within sixty (60) minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate
attention. The Collection System ORC or his appointed Back-up Operator will make the
preliminary assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That .
assessment includes visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up will -determine the
appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel as necessary. The
attached call back list will be maintained current and be ranked according'to essential
response including, i.e. equipment operators. Local contractor may be employed as
deemed necessary.,
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort
should be made to minimize the spill event consistent with the containment and source
control section of this plan. The safety of the respondent should in no way be
compromised.
Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of
obstruction and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPILL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be
contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;
DWQ ASHEVILLE OFFICE 2090 U.S. HWY 70 SWANNANOA N.C. 28778
828-296-4500 FAX [phone]
1) The spill has reached surface waters, "Waters of the State" or
2) The spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gals.)
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate
volume, name of respondent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a full spill report form will be
filled out and kept on file. s

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT
PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment
should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment.
1) When the source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other
methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
to the least possible volume.
2) If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel
should be checked for;
a. Power ON?
b. Check breaker.
C. Breaker closed, check thermal overloads. (External button).
d. Overload good, Check fuses, if you are trained to. do so.
e. Is pump straining? (Clogged with debris?)
f. Do you smell a burnt motor?( contact vendor from list)
g. Call for Electrician. (From attached list.)
3) Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks.)
b. Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters.)

If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact
Power Company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number
for location.
If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make
repairs. Re -order parts as they are used!
If the problem results from sewer blockage call for jet rodding machine.

r��z•Cr'Hyi�SY �'.
2006 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
Western Carolina University owns and maintains approximately 20,000 feet of
wastewater lines and 90 manholes for the purpose of wastewater collection. The lines
and manholes are all located within the WCU campus.
The wastewater collection lines empty into sewer lines owned and maintained by
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority.
During the 2005 calendar year the wastewater collection system performed
satisfactorily 'resulting in no wastewater reaching surface waters.
Towards the end of 2004, an engineer was employed to, evaluate the integrity of the
system. Findings were detailed in a report and we have undertaken a program to
upgrade the system to prevent problems. Some of these activities include;
A formal program of inspection and cleaning.
Reworking an improperly sloped line.
Quarterly cleaning of cafeteria grease traps.
Repairs to leaks to prevent influx of rain water. Sewage did not leak out!
Any questions or comments concerning the Western Carolina University wastewater
collection, system or this report may be, directed to': -

- 3 Division of Water Quality
The unit of government for whom you work has a collection system permit issued by the Division of Water Quality.
It is our plan to conduct an annual Compliance Evaluation inspection of your program for operating, maintaining
and improving your collection system. The inspection will consist of a review of ordinances, logs, budgets and
inspections of sewers, equipment, pump stations and right-of-ways. The purpose of this letter is to tell you the
type documents we would like for you to have present for the inspection and the order we would like to see them.
Grease reduction Public Education Program (established and documented)
Sewer Use Ordinance and Legal Authority for Ordinance
3. Grease trap ordinance
4. Septic tank ordinance
a. enforcement actions within the past 12 months
5. Capital Improvement Plan
6. Maintenance records for sewer lines
7. Records recording citizen complaints
8. Record of sewer system overflows (SSO's)
a. sewer system overflow press releases and distribution list
9. Records documenting annual inspection of entire system
10. Records documenting semiannual inspection of high priority lines
11. Maintenance logs of major equipment used to clean and maintain sewer system including
startup records of stand-by power units.
12. Pump station inspection, operation and.maintenance logs
13. Right-of-way maintenance records
14. System cleaning records
15. .Spill response action plan
16. Spare part inventory
17. System map
18. Sewer system budget including revenue
19. Most recent Collection System Annual Report
20. Your Collection System Permit.
It is obvious that the purpose of the above, rather lengthy, list is to help you document what you are doing in the
way of sewer system operations and maintenance. These same records allow us to determine compliance with
permit requirements. We want to see a little fancy footwork when we conduct an inspection. If you use loose
paper records we would like to see files organized, titled, complete, present and stacked neatly. if you use
loose-leaf notebooks, dividers should be used between sections. We are more than pleased to sit in front of a
computer screen during the inspection if you use computer -based records. Behind a system of well organized
records we obviously want a solid program of sewer operations, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement
leading to the reduction, as far as possible,, in the occurrence of sewer system overflows and the amount of
infiltration and inflow arriving at wastewater treatment plants.

Subject: Notice of Violation NOV-2006-PC-0247
Western Carolina University
Collection System Permit WQCS00200
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Manware:
Attached is the report resulting from the Collection System Compliance Evaluation
Inspection conducted by Mr. Don Price and Mr. Roy Davis on June 12, 2006. As
evidenced by the absence of Sewer System Overflows, Western Carolina University
(WCU) is doing an acceptable of day to day operations of its sewage collection
system. :Having hopefully eliminated overflows, WCU should adopt as a goal the
elimination of infiltration and inflow from its collection system. Tuckaseigee Water
and Sewer Authority is experiencing increases of flow during rain events at its
sewage treatment plant, some of which may well come from the WCU collection
system. The inspection revealed sufficient documentation and records keeping
problems to warrant a Notice of Violation. WCU needs to keep sufficient records that
it can demonstrate compliance with every requirement of Collection. System Permit
WQCSA00200.
Following are deficiencies noted during the inspection and in some instances dates
by which corrective action is to be achieved:
(1) A Public Education Program relating to proper disposal of residential grease
need to be put into place. Including a flyer in the student orientation package
for students who will be living in campus housing which includes cooking
facilities was discussed and would be acceptable. On or before September 1,
2006 please send the Asheville Regional Office a sample of the University's
Public Education Program relating to grease disposal.

(2) The University has not developed a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the
Campus sewage collection system. Realizing that all CIPs are wish list until
money is appropriated, nonetheless such plans serve to inform upper
management of the magnitude of capital needs. In accordance with the
requirements of the University's Collection System Permit the CIP should
cover a three to five year period, include a goal statement, include a
description of the service area, include a description of the existing collection
system, include a description of known deficiencies and include a description
of forecasted future needs. Please submit a CIP to the Asheville Regional
office on or before September 1, 2006.
(3) The collection system budget for 2005-2006 was not available during the
inspection. On or before July 1, 2006 please submit a copy of the budget to
the Asheville Regional office.
(4) Facilities Management should initiate a records keeping system to track semi-
annual inspections of the University's three high propriety lines, all of which
cross Cullowhee Creek and were observed during the inspection.
(5) Facilities Maintenance needs a system for tracking preventative maintenance
performed of equipment which would be used in response to SSOs.
(6) No Spill Response Action Plan was available during the inspection. On or
before September 1, 2006 please submit a complete Spill Response Action
Plan to the Asheville Regional Office. The Plan should include 24-hour
contact numbers for employees and contractors, a discussion of the expected
response time, list of equipment and spare parts available to response to
emergencies, available post spill site sanitation and cleanup materials and
procedures and post overflow assessment procedures. A copy of the Plan
should be made available to all employees involved in spill response.
(7) Facilities Management has developed a good map of the University's
collection system. In order to meet the requirements of Collection System
Permit Number WQCS00200 the University needs to add the following pieces
of information to its present map: pipe material, flow direction arrows and pipe
age.
It is our goal to help Western Carolina University to have the best possible sewage
collection system. I encourage you to call Roy or Don with questions. Likewise, they
are more than willing to look at documents in preliminary form to determine if those
documents meet permit requirements. Roy and Don may be reached at 828-296-
4500.

Permit: WQCS00200 Owner - Facility: Western Carolina University
Inspection Date: 06/13/2006 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
WCU has the enviable record of having had no Sewer System Overflows (SSO). Facilities Management is doing a good
job of day to day maintenance of the collection system. Rather than having as a goal the reduction of SSOs, Facilities
Management should adopt the goal of reducing to the maximum extent possible the entry of infiltration and inflow into the
sanitary system. I offer this suggestion for the reason that the Tuckaseegee Water and Sewer Authority (TWSA) is
experiencing flow increases at its treatment plant during rainfall events. Reducing infiltration and inflow will benefit both
WCU and TWSA.
Following is a discussion of deficiencies noted during the inspection and in some cases, dates for compliance:
(1)A Public Education Program relating to proper disposal of residential grease needs to be put in place. Including a flyer
in the student orientation package for students living in housing units having cooking facilities was discussed. On or
before September 1, 2006 send the Asheville Regional Office a sample of what Facilities Management comes up with for
this purpose.
(2)Facilities Management has not developed a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the University's collection system.
Realizing that all such plans are wish lists until money is a appropriated, nontheless such plans serve to inform upper
management of the magnitude of the capital needs. The CIP for the University collection system should cover a three to
five year period, include a Goal Statement, include a description of project area, include a description of the existing
facilities, include a description of known deficiencies and include a description of forecasted future needs. Please submit a
CIP to the Asheville Regional office on or before September 1, 2006.
(3) The collection system budget for 2005-2006 was not available during the inspection. On or before July 1, 2006 please
submit a copy of the budget to the Asheville Regional office.
(4)Facilities Management should initiate a records keeping system to track the semi-annual inspection of the three high
priority lines, all of which cross Cullowhee Creek and were observed during the inspection.
(5)Facilities Management needs a means of tracking and documenting the preventive maintenance of equipment which
would be used in response to SSOs.
(6) No Spill Response Action Plan was available during the inspection. On or before September 1, 2006 please submit a
complete Spill Response Action Plan to the Asheville Regional Office. The Plan should include 24-hour contact numbers
for employees and contractors, a discussion of the expected response time, list of equipment and spare parts available to
respond to an emergency, available post spill site sanitation and cleanup materials and procedures and post overflow
assessment procedures. A copy of the Plan should be made available to all employeees.
(7) Facilities Management has developed a good map of the University's collection system. In order to comply with the
requirements of Collection System Permit Number WQCS00200,the University needs to add the following pieces of
information to its present map: pipe material, flow direction arrows and pipe age.

Roy,
Here is our Spill Response Procedure that we have put together using the pattern that Don and you
suggested.
I am also going to send a copy through the mail along with the grease flyer that we got from TWSA to give
out to our students.
I am also putting together a larger grease awareness flyer that we are going to post in the cafeterias. I will
send you a copy of this as well when it is finalized.
Thanks for all your help,

The unit of government for whom you work has a collection system permit issued by the Division of
Water Quality. It is our plan to conduct an annual inspection of your program for operating,
maintaining and improving your collection system. The inspection will consist of a review of
ordinances, logs, budgets and inspections ,of sewers, pump stations and right-of-ways. The purpose
of this letter is to tell you the type documents we would like for you to have present for the inspection
and the order we would like to see them. In a perfect world you would stack these documents on a
table in this order.
1. Grease reduction Public Education Program (established and documented)
2. Sewer Use Ordinance and Legal Authority for Ordinance
3. Grease Trap Ordinance.
4. Septic Tank Ordinance.
a. Enforcement actions within the past 12 months.
5. Capital Improvement Plan.
6. Maintenance records for sewer lines.
7. Records recording citizen complaints.
8. Record of Sewer System Overflows.
a. Sewer System Overflow press releases and distribution list.
9. Records documenting annual inspection of entire system.
10. Records documenting inspection of high priority lines.
11. Maintenance logs of major equipment used to clean and maintain sewer system including
startup records of stand-by power units.
12. Pump station inspection, operation and maintenance logs.
.13. Right-of-way maintenance records.
14. System cleaning records.
15. Spill Response Action Plan.
16. Spare part inventory.
17. System map.
18.Sewer system budget.
Depending on your circumstances, all of the above may not be required. It is obvious that the
purpose of the above rather lengthy list is to help you document what you are doing in the way of
sewer system operations and maintenance. It is my hope that these record keeping requirements will
be beneficial to you.
If you will look closely at the computer generated inspection report for collection systems you will see
these documents mentioned as well as detailed questions we will be asking relating to these
documents.
The maintenance and operation of a wastewater collection system is a very important job.
Our interest is to reduce 'as far as possible the occurrence of Sewer -System Overflows and reduce as
far as possible the amount of infiltration and inflow arriving at the wastewater treatment plant.

2005 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
Western Carolina University owns and maintains approximately 20,000 feet of wastewater
lines and 90 manholes for the purpose of wastewater collection. The lines and manholes are
all located within the WCU campus.
The wastewater collection lines empty into sewer lines owned and maintained by Tuckaseigee
Water and Sewer Authority.
During the 2004 calendar year the wastewater collection system performed satisfactorily
resulting in no wastewater reaching surface waters.
Any questions or comments concerning the Western Carolina University wastewater
collection system or this report may be directed to

Dear Mr. Manware:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 90A-37, the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission is required to classify water
pollution control systems. The classification of Water Pollution Control Collection
Systems, found at 15A NCAC 8G .0303, was adopted by the Commission to classify
water pollution control systems. Population served determines the classification of a
collection system or the same classification grade of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to
which the collection system is tributary; whichever provides the lesser grade.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission has determined
that your collection system is classified as a Grade II Water Pollution Control Collection
System as of the date of this letter. Therefore, your ORC must be certified at:Grade H and
all Backup ORCs must be certified at least at Grade I.
As required by 15A NCAC 8G .0202 and your permit, upon classification, you (the
Permittee) shall designate and employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge
(ORC) and one or more certified operator(s} to be back-up ORC's of this system within
30 days from the date of this letter. Please complete and return the enclosed designation
form.
If you have any questions concerning this classification or the designation of operators,
please contact me at the number listed below.

Subject: Permit No. WQCS00200
Western Carolina University
Western Carolina University Collection System
Jackson County
In accordance with your application received on March 10, 2005, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQCS00200, dated June 23, 2005, to Western Carolina University for the operation and
maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010. This permit shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit. Compliance
schedules requiring action and regional notification are shown in bold.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately -owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a) and 1(2) (b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all, statutes.. and
regulations pertaining to the collection system must be maintained or'appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water, (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality staff member (not facsimile or voicemail) at
your regional DWQ office during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon

as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call (800) .858-0368.
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as
optional under Condition I(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from
httr)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndceu/ from the Collection Systems area.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both
Part I and Part Il, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or Jeff Poupart of the
Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality at [phone] extension 527. If you need additional information concerning this permit,
please contact Marie Doklovic in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit
at [phone] extension 371.

as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call [phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as
optional under Condition 1(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndceu/ from the Collection Systems area.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both
Part I,and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, regyirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or Jeff Poupart of the
Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality at [phone] extension 527. If you need additional information concerning this permit,
please contact Marie Doklovic in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit
at [phone] extension 371.

amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Western Carolina University
Jackson County
FOR THE
operation -and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 4 miles of gravity sewer and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances
required to make a complete and operational wastewater collection system to serve Western Carolina
University and any deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to the application received on
March 10, 2005, and in conformity with the documents referenced therein and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010 and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Tuckaseigee Water
and Sewer Authority - Sylva Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0020214) prior to being disposed
into Scott Creek.
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all
times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In
the event that the wastewater collection system fails to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions, including
actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction
of additional or replacement sewer lines and/or equipment.
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be reported
to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were caused by severe
natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee demonstrates through properly
signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00200

a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to
the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated
wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate back-up equipment, or
an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision is not satisfied if, in the exercise
of reasonable engineering judgment, the Permittee should have installed auxiliary or
additional collection system components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities,
adequate back-up equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b) the SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management, operation and
maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system facilities or components
(e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth or
adequately controlling and preventing infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance;
or installation of adequate back-up equipment;
The.Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the criteria
of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with the spill report
required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be considered for immunity from
enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current Division approved form, shall be used
for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of proof that the above criteria have been met.
3. The Permittee shall establish an enforceable policy to require new sewers be properly
constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and service laterals; to
address flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action as required by Condition
1(4).
The Permittee shall meet this permit condition within 12 months of permit issuance. A copy of the
adopted policy shall be provided to the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection
Section to show compliance with this condition.
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
targeted at both residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and
implement an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which
the Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the terms
of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
The Permittee shall develop and implement an inspection and enforcement program for fats, oils
and grease for non-residential entities within 12 months of permit issuance. A copy of the
program materials shall be provided to the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection

component of the program. Educational materials shall be distributed at least annually, with
increasing frequency and targeted areas as grease related blockages are noted.
5. The Permittee shall adopt'and implement a long term budget to designate funding for
reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The long term budget should
address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The long term budget
should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of
the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies (over a reasonable
period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the long term budget.
The Permittee shall develop and present for adoption a long term budget meeting this permit
condition within 12 months of permit issuance. A copy of the long term budget shall be provided
to the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance with this
condition.
6. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved

Dear Mr. Connie:
On September 18, 2003, I inspected several manholes located within the Western Carolina University campus.
The following were observed:
• The iron manhole covers and collars are no longer water tight, nor have a mechanical connection to the cone
section of the manhole.
• Several of the concrete cone sections had been dislodged from the barrel section of -the manhole, providing
a conduit of groundwater to the collection system.
• All manholes that are located at grade that have "ventilated" covers (the ones with holes in the lid) are direct
conduits of storm -water into the collection system.
An engineering evaluation of the collection system must be performed by a North Carolina registered
Professional Engineer (RE'.), ana a plan of action developed and implemented. You must provide notification
in writing to my attention at the letter head address as to'who will be performing the engineering evaluation,
and a schedule to complete this evaluation, and additionally, provide a schedule to provide the necessary repairs
soon after completion of the engineering evaluation.

Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
Attached, please find a copy of an inspection letter to Western Carolina University and the response to this
inspection. There seems to be a question as to the responsibility of maintenance of the collection system as it
leaves the University property.
The collection system (including the segment running up the hill) was constructed by the community and
"given" to the University in order for the University to remain operable in the early part of the 20th century.
Western Carolina University has only maintained the collection system within it's property, neglecting the
system outside of its property boundary. This collection line is contiguous with, and constructed at the same
time as the rest of WCU's system, and in the opinion of this office, is part of WCU's collection system.
I would appreciate in comments on the legality of this position.

Dear Mr. Manware:
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
On August 22nd, 2001, I inspected the collection system serving Western Carolina University which is tributary
to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's (TWSA) collection system. Based on the flow generated by
the University and conveyed to TWSA, Western Carolina University will be required at some point in the future
to apply for an individual system -wide collection system permit as required by N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1.(a)(2) and
House Bill 1160. This new collection system permit program is operation and maintenance based and covers
the entire collection system, whether or not portions of line were previously permitted through the Division.
Additionally, the following need to be addressed:
• Records of all maintenance, inspections, spills and cleaning performed on the collection system must be
kept for a minimum of three years.
• An Operations and Maintenance manual should be developed and followed.
• The University must develop and follow a cleaning schedule to clean a minimum of 10% of the system per
year.
• Inspection of any identified high priority lines must occur once every six months in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0227.
• The University must maintain all right-of-ways in order to inspect and maintain its collection system. Right
of ways must be accessible in the event of an emergency.
• The University must update your existing map to include parameters such as pipe type, approximate age,
flow direction, pipe size, etc.
Further information about the system -wide collection system permit program along with the permit shell and
application can be downloaded from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu/ Note that the application need not be
submitted until requested by the Division.

Additionally, the Division of Water Quality has determined that the gravity collection line which runs south of
campus parallel to S.R. 1169, and terminating behind the storage facility located on S.R. 1168, was constructed
at the same time as, and is contiguous to the Western Carolina University collection system and must be
maintained by Western Carolina University. Should easements onto property, through which this sewer line
runs not exist, Western Carolina University must pursue easements to allow for the inspection, maintenance,
and repair of this line. The responsibility for maintaining this sewer line does not extend beyond the contiguous
section of sewer line, terminating at the last manhole located below the storage units at the top of the hill.
The help of your staff is greatly appreciated during this inspection.

RE: Private Sewer Line
Dear Mr. Barnett:
This is in response to your letter to Mr. William Manware, dated September 20, 2001,
regarding a collection system inspection conducted by your office. Specifically, I am
concerned about the following paragraph from your letter:
Additionally; the-Division,o,f Water:,Quality,has determined.that the. gravity, .;
'collection ;line_ which runs,south of campus parallel to: S.R. 1169, and.terminating
behind the storage facility located on S. 1168;.was.constructed at the same time
as; and is contiguous to the Western Carolina University collection system and -
must be maintained by Western Carolina University. Should easements onto
property, through which this sewer line runs not exist, Western Carolina
University must pursue easements to allow for. the inspection, maintenance, and
repair of this line. The responsibility for maintaining this sewer line does not
extend beyond the contiguous section of sewer line, terminating at the last
manhole located below the storage units at the top of the hill.
This directive came as a surprise to WCU. Neither notice that the issue was being
considered nor an opportunity to be heard on the subject was provided. Had the
university been given the opportunity for input it would have argued, as it does below,
that the lawdoes not allow such a directive.
The gravitycollection.line you refer..to-is not State property.- It serves..privatexesidences
located!bh private property. .:Those.private- property -owners pay.Tuckaseigee Water and_,
Sewer Authority (TWSA) for water and sewer. services. None. of.that revenue comes. to..
WCU. "WCU's only source of funds to. implement your directive is .State appropriations.
No such funds have been appropriated for this purpose.

Mr. Kevin H. Barnett

November 15, 2001
The directive is troubling on a number of fronts. There is no precedent in the law or
WCU's experience for such a unilaterally imposed quasi -annexation. In fact, you cite no
legal authority supporting the directive. Furthermore, the power being exercised by your
office exposes the university to unacceptable future risks extending beyond the present
situation. What other obligations of private property owners will be imposed upon the
university? Where will the funds come from to support these obligations? The university
does not have the funds to simply assume the property maintenance obligations of its
neighbors or TWSA.
WCU assumes that the motivation behind your directive is concern that the line in
question is orphaned and will not be maintained by anyone. Assigning maintenance to
WCU instead of the property owners served or TWSA is neither logical nor fair. The
mere fact that the line may have been built at the same time as WCU's lines and adjoins
WCU lines is no reason to conclude that WCU must maintain the line. No one would
think it fair or logical that WCU should maintain the roadways or water lines of its
neighbors simply because they adjoin WCU's property and were built at the same time.
Nothing precludes the property owners from maintaining the lines serving and crossing
their property. While that may take some coordination within the community, people in
this region are used to working together to maintain roads or water systems within their
community not served by local government. Finally, TWSA is the entity charged with
providing water and sewer service in the community. It is also the entity receiving
revenue from the property owners in question for water and sewer service. If the
property owners are not going to be held responsible, TWSA is clearly the next in line.
WCU is connected to this problem only because of geography, not logic or fairness.
The essence of the directive is that State resources must be spent on a select, small group
of individuals as a gift or gratuity from the university. The university will receive
nothing in return. Such an expenditure of State resources is specifically prohibited by the
exclusive emoluments clause of the State Constitution contained in Article I, Sec. 32.
WCU's reading of that clause prohibits WCU from spending State resources as you
instructed.
For all of the reasons discussed above, WCU must decline to assume maintenance of the
gravity collection line described in your letter.
Sincerely,
Richard Kucharski

Mr. William Manware

Subject: Collection System Inspection
Western Carolina University
Status: Compliant
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Manware:
On August 22nd, 2001, I inspected the collection system serving Western Carolina University which is tributary
to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's (TWSA) collection system. Based' on the flow generated by
the University and conveyed to TWSA, Western Carolina University will be required at some point in the future
to apply for an individual system -wide collection- system permit as required by N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1.(a)(2) and
House Bill 1160. This new collection system permit program is operation and maintenance based and covers
the entire collection system, whether or not portions of line were previously permitted through the Division.
Additionally, the following need to be addressed:
• Records of all maintenance, inspections, spills and cleaning performed on the collection system must be
kept for a minimum of three years.
• An Operations and Maintenance manual should be developed and followed.
• The University must develop and follow a cleaning schedule to clean a minimum of 10% of the system per
year.
• Inspection of any identified high priority lines must occur once every six months in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0227.
• The University must maintain all right-of-ways in order to inspect and maintain its collection system. Right
of ways must be accessible in the event of an emergency.
• The University must update your existing map to include parameters such as pipe type, approximate age,
flow direction, pipe size, etc.
Further information about the system -wide collection system permit program along with the permit shell and
application can be downloaded from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu/ Note that the application need not be
submitted until requested by the Division..

Collection System Inspection
Additionally, the Division of Water Quality has determined that the gravity collection. line which runs south of
campus parallel to S.R. 1169, and terminating behind the storage facility located on S.R. 1168, was constructed
at the same time as, and is contiguous to the Western Carolina University collection system and must be
maintained by Western Carolina University. Should easements onto property, through which this sewer line
runs not exist, Western Carolina University must pursue easements to allow for the inspection, maintenance,
and repair of this line. The responsibility for maintaining this sewer line does not extend beyond the contiguous
section of sewer line, terminating at the last manhole located below the storage units at the top of the hill.
The help of your staff is greatly appreciated. during this inspection.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact me at 828-251-6208.
