The site is in disrepair and is vacant. The WWTP facility is not active. This property has been purchased and is under new ownership; TRO Consultants, Inc. (Kenneth Hodge) are calling it Pleasant Cove Home. The permit is being renewed under this new owner. Note: the establishment is slated to be a large (99 residents) nursing home. The WWTP is a small package plant. These type of establishments deliver wastewater that is difficult to effectively treat with a small package plant. However; the inspector spoke with Juanita James (James and. James) voicing these concerns and Ms. James said the WWTP operated fine in the past under the same waste load. Ms. James stated that the owner is agreeable to whatever repairs (motor, pump, blower, and control panel) will be needed to restart the WWTP. I mentioned adding rust removal and painting the facility to the list of items needed before restart.

I expect payment to arrive tomorrow and will email you once payment been received. I also spoke with a staff member in Raleigh today concerning this facility and based on our discussions, please find below three activities that, while they do not impose any additional costs upon the facility, should be addressed to ensure the upcoming change in ownership occurs smoothly. 1. The current owner needs to contact the Asheville Regional Office and schedule a time when a regional office staff person can visit the wastewater treatment plant and verify the facility is no longer discharging. A DWR staff member recently went to the but was unable to gain access to the wastewater treatment plant. I suggest contacting Janet Cantwell in our Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4667. 2. The new owner should contact Bob Sledge in Raleigh at 919.807.6398 to discuss a simple process to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs when there are extended periods of no discharge from the facility. 3. The current/new owner should complete the Name/Ownership Change Form, sign at closing and mail the form to the Division. The form is attached. While our conversations have addressed payment of overdue annual fees, there is quite a bit of activity occurring with the sale of this facility and I wanted to provide some clear direction to the current and new owner in order that ownership change proceeds smoothly. Thank you and contact me if you have any additional questions. kevin Kevin Bowden Division of Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 (phone) 919.807.6397, (fax) 919.807.6494, (e-mail) Kevin.Bowden@ncdenr.gov E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties unless the content is exempt by statute or other regulation.

The facility currently sits with no electricity. The opportunity to confirm the operation of the effluent lift station pumps is not available at this time. Both pumps and the panel was operational at the closure. At the closure of the facility, both motor -blower combinations were inoperable. At my first visit to the facility the panel box was standing open. At the closure, all components of this panel operated properly; now I am unsure of its true condition. I have spoke in depth with Mr. Ken Hodges regarding the needs, potential needs and the funds necessary to bring this facility in' compliance with the permit. He is very receptive to all the needed repairs and intends to operate this facility at its maximum operating potential. Once electricity is restored and the permit approved, work will begin to restore the facility. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss any concerns. I also welcome a site visit if you choose.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per, month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and Version 712009 1v PDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge' concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWO or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered =1. Version 712009 N1'DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limit The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Auk The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. U set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,. or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the CWA and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41]. a.

Performance This facility had several violations during 2011. In an attempt to bring this facility back into compliance, the skimmer was raised, a metal bar was placed in the blower, hoses replaced and had the facility pumped and re -seeded. Violations and corrective actions taken 1. February 2011 a. Fecal Coliform i. 2/10 @ >600 colonies/100 mis 1. We determined that the cause of the violation was due to a elevated suspended solids in the effluent. The facility was pumped. 2. March 2011 a. Fecal Coliform i. 3-2 @ >600 coloniers/100 mis b. Fecal Coliform L 3-17 @>600 colonies/100 mis c. Fecal Coliform L 3-31 ,>600 colonies/100 mis 1. We determined that the cause of the violations were due to a new operator at the facility. He had to learn the personality of the facility. 3. April 2011 a. Total Suspended Solids i. 4-21 — 46.5 mg/1 b. BOD-5 Day i. 4-12 ->18.7 mg/1 c. BOD-5 Day i. 4-29 - >37.6 mg/1 1. We determined that the cause of the violation was apparently due to the influent containing a slug of an unknown toxic substance. The facility had healthy bacteria the week before MAR the violation. The facility was placed on HAND and Aluminum Sulfate and Soda Ash were added to aide in settling the solids out. The clarifier was scraped daily to return any solids from the hopper to the aeration basin. The results for the last week indicated that the toxic loading may have occurred a second time. The facility was re-routed through the digester to re -seed the plant. 4. June 2011 a. Fecal Coliform i. 6-16 @>600 colonies/100mis We determined the cause of the violation was due to a low chlorine residual. We increased the dosage of chlorine to bring the facility back into compliance 5. July 2011 a. Fecal Coliform i. 7-26 @>600 colonies/100mis We determined the cause of the violation was due to low dosing of chorine to accommodate the hydraulic surge when the facility shuts off. We increased the dosing slightly for this occurrence. This report has been sent to the Owner with directions to give notification of the availability of this report to each of their users.

The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

The violation was for an elevated BOD — 5 day and Fecal Colifotm in the month of December, 2010. The facility experienced a mechanical problem with the breaker that operated the blower/motor combination. The breaker was exchanged the last week of the month once the data from the 22nd had been calculated. The 2151 is also when the Fecal Coliform was elevated. We believe that the elevated BOD concentration from the same week is the reason for the elevated Fecal Coliform. We believe the chlorine was depleted by the BOD uptake. The data was read from the incubator on Tuesday the 28°i, the same day the facility was sampled for the last week of the month. The maintenance crew was on site Wednesday the 29th to assess the difficulties with the facility and found the faulty breaker. The breaker was repaired within 24 hours and the facility placed on hand overnight. There was not ample time to resample for the month of December. 2010. The first week of samples in January was 43.2mg/l (below the daily maximum), and the following week at 25.7mgiI. The facility was compliant for January, 2011. penalty.

Havon, Inc.'s and Pleasant Grove Rest Home's agent, Juanita James, submitted a request for remission to the Director seeking reduction of the $617.00 penalty assessment for violations of the discharge limitations of NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during December 2009. Upon consideration of the information submitted with the request showing that ice formed during cold weather .during December 2009 resulted in inaccurate effluent samples being taken from' the treatment system, the Director reduced the penalties by $250.00, from $550.00 to $300.00. Havon, Inc's and Pleasant Grove Rest home's request for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home did not request oral argument; therefore, their request.for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions based on their written submissions and those of the Division of Water Quality. 2 Having considered the record and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home, that the Findings of fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in'N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), the Committee further finds that there are grounds for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director for four violations of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCO075388 during December 2009 by discharging effluent that exceeded the Permit Daily Maximum limits for BOD, Fecal Coliform, and TSS and the Permit Monthly Average limit for TSS. The Committee found that the violations were inadvertent and resulted from ice that formed in the treatment system during cold weather and concurred with the Director's proposed$250.00 reduction of the penalties. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment should.be reduced by $250.00 and upheld in the amount of $367.00 (civil penalty $300.00 plus $67.00 investigation costs). THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the amount of $367.00 is AFFIRMED. 2.

Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment should be'reduced by $250.00 and upheld in the amount of $367.00 (civil penalty. $300.0,0 plus - $67.00 investigation costs) THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Havon, Inc. and Pleasant Grove Rest Home in the amount of $367.00 is AFFIRMED. 2.

In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements: • This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or denied. • Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh, North Carolina. • My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length. The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter. Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and-2007 Formal Ethics Opinion 3. • If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee, then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law. • If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible. If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2) for corporations, partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.

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).

Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements- contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute.

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).

Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be �7 . considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;, (3) 17, whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;. (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order,to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to. an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request."

Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied -to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request."

The NOV was for and elevated 130.0-5 day with a result of 53.4 mg/i and a limit of 30/45 mg/I. James & James was in the process of bringing this facility back to a continuous opportunity for Compliance, This was a needed transformation for this treatment plant and a work in progress for the facility. We instructed the facility as to the type of cleaning agents that could be used without harm to the facility. James & James, as you are aware, acquired the facility in much disarray. As pertinent items were fixed, those items that were of a lesser nature became prevalent. These items were also addressed as they revealed themselves, but this was over an extended period of time. We believe that we have greatly tamed the facility, but will have other repairs to make as time progresses. qThank you, r� n . u6-�c' { f Juanita James OR W!i% i�i �IMi1T++�'31rISi]itiy{,'ti:A'A9Y:SA'rv. 1 Michael F.

A Notice of Violation NOV-2006-LR-0047 was sent to you dated June 22, 2006 for failure to submit the April 2006 discharge monitoring reports. You received this NOV on June 26, 2006. Within said Notice, you were informed that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in a recommendation for assessment of civil penalties. As of this date the April 2006 DMR has not been received by the Department. ➢ The May 2006 DMR was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. This non -submittal of the May 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ tracking database and a search of the DWQ Central Files. A Civil penalty assessment, LR-2006-0025, was mailed to you on July 27, 2006 with a penalty assessment of $600. ➢ The August 2006 was not filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty (30) day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit.

This late submittal of the December 2006 DMR was verified by a search of the DWQ database and a search of the DWQ Central Files. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Pleasant Cove Rest Home violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO068152 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65.

Submit a written request for remission. or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request. A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.

His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions.
