(I) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;

(6)
(7)
(8)
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not include waiver
form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factualstatements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(I) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request. for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request."
Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Wastewater Branch
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty-(30) days o-f feceTpt ofIlli notice. A petition is considered filed —

RE: Linville Falls NC0080098
NOV-2015-PC-0027
Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in reference to the NOV-2015-PC-0027 inspection conducted by Linda Wiggs on
January 21, 2015. The deficiencies mentioned referenced a Blower and two pumps that were not
operational. It was a blower motor that had went out just a couple days prior to the inspection. The tertiary
pump and mud well pump were also not functional. The report also noted that the effluent sampler had
improper sampling protocol.
The motor was on order and had been shipped to an unknown address. The shipping company
said that it should be delivered on Monday, March 16. It will be installed within the week of delivery. The
tertiary and mud well pumps have been quoted by HD Supply and authorization was given by Mr. Price on
late Friday, March 13. They will be ordered on Monday and the shipping time is estimated 3-4 weeks.
These also will be installed upon arrival.
The sampler has been reprogramed to meet the 100 mis/sampling pull. The tube for the composite
sampler will also be changed at the installation of the motor. At the time of inspection, the sampler had a
buildup of ice. It was defrosted and restarted. This has not occurred again.
Thank you for your time. With highest regards, I am
Very truly yours,
9uebusia-
Juanita James

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present during the inspection were Juanita James with James and James Environmental (ORC) and
Andy Price with the POA.
Permit:
The permit expired December 31, 2014. The permit renewal was received in Raleigh January 12, 2015.
Operation and Maintenance:
A load of “seed” was delivered on the day of the inspection. There are three operational items that need
to be repaired/replaced: Blower #1, a mud well pump and a tertiary pump.
Sampling: (Part II Section A Composite Sample)
Sampling was described to the inspector as being a 10 ml aliquot each hour for 24 hours. This method
describes a method requiring prior approval by DWR. At the time of the inspection this facility had not
requested or been approved to perform constant time/constant volume sampling. The aliquot of 10 ml
that was mentioned is also not acceptable, a minimum of 100ml aliquot is required. When the sampler
was tasked with pulling an aliquot during the inspection, it pulled an aliquot of ~1300-1500ml. The
refrigerator was also frozen inside. It was unclear if the sampling device is in need of repair or if the
setup of the device was incorrect.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above referenced case number for Linville Falls Mountain Club dated June
22, 2017 and received by James & James on or about June 27, 2017. The violation was for the month of
November, 2017.
The Notice of Violation for November, 2017 was for the BOD 5-Day exceeding the daily maximum limit
and monthly average. Air adjustments were made to the waste water facility and the facility was wasted
once the results were known. The owner has researched with the homeowners for any culprit that may be
causing elevated numbers. They have confirmed cleaning agents, additives and sanitizers among other
items. The homeowners continue to strive to find and eliminate any causes that are detrimental to the
system.
We thank you in advance for the time and effort this review entails. We would greatly appreciate
consideration of this fine.
Thank you,
Juanita James

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above referenced case number for Linville Falls Mountain Club dated June
26, 2017 and received by James & James on or about July 5, 2017. The violation was for the month of
January, 2017.
The Notice of Violation for January, 2017 was for the BOD 5-Day and Total Suspended Solids exceeding
the daily maximum limit. Dan Boss from Asheville Regional office conducted an inspection on July 7,
2017. He noted that the effluent was exceptional and that the quality of treatment was "something he
wouldn't change". One change recently made by James & James was the relocation of the declor to the
prior tertiary tank. This allows non -chlorinated water to enter the tertiary which allows the bacteria on the
media to work as expected. We are performing tests to confirm this move is profitable and if so will
petition to relocate them permanently. We have made a push to remove any toxic household chemicals
from entering the facility.
We thank you in advance for the time and effort this review entails. We would greatly appreciate
consideration of this fine.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above NOV dated March 30, 2017 and received by James & James on or
about April 6, 2017. The violation was for the month of September, 2016.
The facility operates extremely well the beginning of the month and falters near the end of the month. The
water quality to the naked eye is pristine. When the effluent is pulled into a clear vessel, it appears as
drinking water. This gives the operator a false sense of accomplishment until the BOD results return.
We requested and the owner obliged with speaking with each homeowner with regard to the chemicals they
are using in their homes and businesses. They were requested to return to using biologically friendly
products.
The owners of this facility have invested several thousand dollars in the rebuilding of the tertiary tanks,
updating the controls and equipment. We continue to give instruction to the homeowners and businesses as
to what chemicals are friendly to the system. We have searched for any I & I that may be playing havoc
with the operations. We continue to work as a team to find the proper combination to maintain compliance
throughout the entire month.
The operator adds soda ash and aluminum sulfate as needed to keep the facility healthy. He wastes to the
digester as needed and performs field data from the various chambers to determine the changes necessary.
Since the owner and operator are very conscientious of the system and its needs and is proactive with
regard to the clientele we respectfully request consideration of the assessment.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
This letter is in response to the above NOV dated April 11, 2017 and received by James & James on or
about April 17, 2017. The violation was for the month of November, 2016.
The facility operates extremely well and had one time of an elevated number in the middle of the month.
The water quality to the naked eye is pristine. We performed an assessment of all of the controls and
equipment to ensure that, while we are not on site, it still is operating at its optimum level. We found that a
time clock was only functioning sporadically and that the facility was not receiving the intended amount of
run time. We made this change. We also checked and serviced all of the check valves and diffusers to
ensure that there were no air restrictions.
The effluent, as stated above, is incredibly clear. At quick glance, there would never be a consideration of
non-compliance. The operator is doing an excellent job managing the system and I go to the site as well as
an extra set of eyes to determine what can be amended or corrected.
Since the owner and operator is very conscientious of the system and its needs and is proactive with regard
to the clientele we respectfully request consideration of the assessment.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
