Dear Mayor Dodson:
In accordance with your application received on June 3, 2005, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00205, dated Date, to Town of Marshall 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 and any
compliance schedules 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 [phone].

Page 2
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report oh;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.stafe.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 deport 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 11, 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.

issuance, approximately 9.2 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 1.25 miles of force main, 1 simplex
pump station serving multiple buildings, 3 duplex pump stations, and all associated piping, valves, and
appurtenances. required to make a complete and operational wastewater'collection system to serve
the Town of Marshall and any deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to the application
received on , 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:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Town of Marshall
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0021733) 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 shell 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:
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
PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00205

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.

CONTAINMENT PROCEDM ES
l . As soon as the employee arrives on site of the S.S.O. their first priority will be to contaii
the spill as not to allow it to reach surface waters. If there is no danger of the S.S.O- '
reaching surface waters, contain the S,S.O. to as small an area as possible (See attached
information to aid in estimating the amount of overflow),
2. The second priority shall be to tape off the S.S.O. area to prevent any unauthorized
Person from entering the contaminated'area. This includes the banks of surface waters
that S.S.O. has reached.
3. Containment shall be accomplished in any number of ways including but not limited to -
the construction of; ditches, ponds, or dams. The sewage contained in these containmen
areas shall be pumped back into the sewer system or transported to the WWTP by
pumper truckers.
4. Trash pu nps capable of handling the flow of the sewer line are to be placed at the
overflowing manhole and the sewage pumped into the next downstream manhole until
the blockage in conrected. Oner employee shall remain onsite until the pumps are no
longer needed.
13LOCXA,GE CORRECTION PROCEDURES —t
e
1. As soon as the S.S.O. has been contained and a bypass pumping system has been Wp,
attempt to eliminate the blockage by first checking for problems in the invert of the
overflowing manhole.
2. Utilizing the Town of Marshall's equipment and outside contractors (if needed) eliminat;
the blockage (see attached contact list for contractors), Containment and bypass purnpir.g
are to remain operational until the blockage is corrected.
CLEANUP PROCEDTIRES
ALL S.S.O.
1. Remove all paper, plastic or any other non -decomposing material from site. Material
should be bagged in a container clearly marked biohazard and transported to the WWTP
ON A PHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage system; do not let spill enter the storm
drainage system.
2. Put up warning tape around the S,S.O. area.

Dec. 17. 2008 8:55AM -� No, 1617 P. 7
3. Spread If me on spillage and sand (or equivalent material) to the depth of 1 inch. Let thie
stand for one hour and sweep up. If moisture or grease is still present, repeat procedure.
4. After removing the contaminated material, wash down the area will high pressure water
and Chlorox. pump this back into the sewer system. Transport wet sand to drying beds
at the Waste Water Treatment PIant.
If this spill goes into the storm drainage system, refer to creek procedure.
IN C]tEEK OR SMAM
If possible a dam needs to be constructed near a manhole or at a location which is
accessible to the jet/vacuum truck. Build the darn using dirt that in capable of handling
creek and hydrant water without dam failure. Station two pumps at the dam that are
capable of handling creek flow. Use one pump as a backup. Have backhoe at site with
extra material Yat all times during pumping operations. There will be two workers at the
pump site at all times during pumping operations. Pump effluent fi•om the dam into the
manhole.
2. put up warning tape fiom the S.S.O. site to the pump site on both sides of the creek in
populated areas. In unpopulated areas restrict access where there is any chance of
humans corning in contact with the S.S.O.
3. Flush the stream with water from a sufficient number of hydrants to remove waste
product from the creek. Have Wastewater Treatment Operator pull samples. Continue t
pump and flush stream until all fecal coliform tests come back 500 colonies/ml or less.
Pull samples every 24 hours until this reading is obtained. Pull samples 100 feet above
the S.S.O. site, at the site, and at 400 feet intervals reaching the pumping site.
4. If Rip Rap is in creek, wash dowdwith-high pressure water until there is no waste residue
remaining on, or within the Rip Rap structure.
5. If sludge is in creek, broom creek bottom and sides until there is no waste residue
remaining.
6. If creek flows into bodies of water used for recreation and/or drinking, notify the affecte I
county and local officials as soon as the problem is discovered. If this happens, refer to
Pond and Lake Procedure,
IN —P0—N—DO—R LAKE
] - Put up warning tape, black on red, on the shoreline at the containment area.
2. ' In a pond, have WWTP operator collect fecal coliform samples and Dissolved Oxygen
(D.O.) readings around the entire circumference. Set up pumping operations below the
dam.

Dec, 17. 2008 8:55AM No, 1617 P. 8
3. Ina large lake, $ave WWTP operator collect fecal coliform samples 2 feet off the botton i.
D.O. readings are to be done 1 foot under the surface. Take equal sampling amounts
around the circumference of the structure,
4. When the first sampling results come in, contact the North Carolina Department of Watf r
Quality for appropriate action if the fecal coliform counts are greater than 8,000
colonies/ml.
S. Continue pumping until 500 colonies/ml or less are obtained in the structure.
6. Keep monitoring fecal coliform counts until the North Carolina ,Department of Water
Quality or tile, Madison County Public Health Department says that monitoring is no
longer required.
..OU.T.PAY,Z.,
1. Put up warning tape, "Danger Do No Pnter," around the S.S.O. site.
2. In open area, lime (powder) heavily and till. Repeat procedure. Seed and then put down
straw.
3. In an area where there is undergrowth or small trees, wash area with large amounts of
water. push towards the containment area and pump site. Do this until no waste remain
Wait for 12 to 24 hours then Iime the area heavily. Do not lime when the weather
forecast is predicting rainfall.
IN CITIZEN'S 'YARD
1. Till the area whenever possible. Apply lime, seed, and straw.
2. If not able to till, apply lime and two inches of topsoil and mix thoroughly. Lime again
lightly, then seed, and cover with straw.

l enjoyed the workshop last week and learned North Carolina, is far ahead of the other
states in collection system permittirIg and CMOM impfernentatfon.
At the workshop you dlscusaed a way to measure manhole Overfows, This brought to
,nand some work I did back in the Cate 70's to estsmdVm
ada0hed are
photographs of an overflowing manhole that we cread a location on anew
line with no service connections, plugged it, and them metered water from a fire hydrant.
WO opOned the fire hydrant and adjusted the Vow to obtain a measured height (head) of
water, When the height stabilized, we would record the flow rate (at that overflow
height) from the water meter -attached to the hydrant.
Attached are the photographs (note old Poloroicl camera) taken during the- testing along
with the fiow rates, Also attached 1% a graph *of the data with a best -fit curve. Based on
the overflow rate, i have plotted a second curve that represents the time to accumulate
1000 gallons of overflow.
For example:
I. height of 9verflow is 4 inches or•abbut 65.gpm
2. then the time to reach 1 b00 gallons is about 15 minutes
Note that the testing used a vented manhole cover with fear vent hates, 8ofid covers
Would have harder initial c heights with less rpm. I aim going to look into updating this field
test for standard solid covers_ in general, it is easy to have 1QD0 galiorts of ovrflow in a
very short time. if them rtholer cover floats off, then 1000 gallons has likely atready left
the sy,tehi,
I- thought this may be of interest to you, if you see something that we need to 'take into
conoldoration please fet me know. I suVect that with solid covers, the curvd will be
Considerably different since it will take much more pressure to float the lid, initially, Once
rlaated, the ®prn will increase slg'nifirantly arld the time to reach 1000 gallons will be
reduced significantly also.

SUBJECT: Privately -owned Collection Systems
and.Privately-owned Pump Stations
Madison County
As we have continued our evaluations of sewage collection systems management, it was
recognized that there are a group of contributors that may not- be informed of their individual
responsibilities. In March 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
enacted rules related to sewage collection systems. - These rules are now found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code. 15 NCAC 2T .0403 for deemed permitted facilities. They include
facilities with a privately -owned collection system that serve condominiums, apartments, mobile
home parks, subdivisions, shopping centers, colleges, etc. that are tributary to larger municipally
owned systems, yet are not owned or, managed by the municipality.
If you are aware of any such privately -owned collection systems, we would also like to be
informed of their existence. In addition, we would like to know where any privately -owned pump
stations are located that are connected to your collection system. The type of information we
are requesting is the facility name, location. and contact person. If that system is in a state of
disrepair or if you have received complaints about it previously, please note that as well.
Your attention to this request is most appreciated. We have been notified of problems at
some of these facilities in the past and have had a difficult time locating the responsible party to
affect a repair to the problem.
A response from you within 30 days would be very helpful as we try to ensure that all
owners of collection systems are .meeting the regulatory requirements of reporting spills and
providing the proper operation and maintenance of their systems. Hopefully, this will also be
beneficial to the operation of your municipal collection system. Northcarolina

paper records we would like to see files organized, titled, complete, present and stacked neatly. If you use
loose-leaf notebooks, dividers should bused 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

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.

from. Marie Doklovic:
"Perhaps our revised short form would help to submit an.
application.
Please see. the attached.
If they know anything. about their collection. systems, they should.,
be able to. easily complete these.
If they do not have something in place, all. we are looking for are
compliance schedules.
They do not have to have the items in place before permit,
issuance, which. I think is confusing some of them.,
Even if they desire to. have everything in place, we have a deadline
to. issue these permits by June 30, 2005:"
So, does this help?!?!?! I sure hope so! Call me, if you need any help!

The following additional information is provided to address violation NOV-2019-DV-0205,
Incident No. 201900792. On April 19th, 2019, Marshall had a sanitary sewer overflow on Main Street
due to the French Broad River flooding event. The flood stage for Marshall is 8 feet and we experienced
moderate flooding of 12 feet, which completely submerged manholes in the Rollins Community. We
suspect infiltration into our sanitary sewer system from storm water causing the sanitary sewer
overflow. We have contacted NC Rural Water to assist us with pinpointing any possible infiltration.
Smoke testing has been scheduled for May 22"d, 2019.
Please contact me if additional information if needed or you have any questions. Thank you for
your consideration of this matter.

Dear Mr. Davidson,

The following additional information is provided to address violation NOV-2018-DV-0077. In
October of 2017, the Town of Marshall had a break in the 6" force main sewer line under the French
Board River. In November 2017, The Town contracted with Faith Underground to replace the 6" force
main from Redmon Road lift station under the French Broad River to the parking lot of the WWTP
treatment plant with an 8" line and HNH Construction connected the new 8" line to our existing 6" line.
The Town of Marshall has spent over $ 210,000 on the emergency pump and haul, rental of by-pass pipe
and construction of the new force main under the French Broad River. On March 2"d 2018, Redmon
Road lift station pumps could not keep up with the inflow due to heavy rain in our area the night before.
It was discovered that due to the heavy rain extra volume processed thru the lift station that there was a
partial blockage within the last 60 feet of the line that goes from the parking lot into the treatment plant
where the pipe reduces from a 8" to 6". Pump and Haul emergency measures were started on March
2"d, and continued until late afternoon on March 3rd. HNH Construction contractors replaced the last 60'
of the old 6" line. The Town does not have all the invoices yet but estimate the cost to be around $
10,000 for this sewer line replacement. The Town has worked diligently and invested a considerable
amount of money to not repair but replace the force sewer main under the French Broad River. I am
asking for the Town to not be assessed a civil penalty for this violation.
Please contact me if additional information if needed or you have any questions. Thank you for
your consideration of this matter.

North Carolina Department of Revenue
Pat McCrory Lyons Gray
Governor Secretary
March 27, 2013
To: Counties and Municipalities
From: David B. Baker, Director I"96
Local Government Division
Re: Sales Tax Reallocations
Currently, many counties and municipalities hire a consulting company to review
originally filed sales tax returns and requests for refunds to determine if revenues were
correctly distributed. After the consulting company determines that corrections are
needed, amended returns are filed requesting that revenue be reallocated to the correct
county.
An internal review was performed within our Department regarding our reallocation
process and what procedural changes should be imposed. A concern was raised regarding
the number of claims requested and the error rate for the claims received. In our review
of the data related to previous reallocations reviewed by our staff, there was a range
between the 39% to 58% of incorrect reallocations being submitted by the consulting
companies. The review brings to the forefront the inordinate amount of time the
Department spends correcting the claims.
In the new process that is being established, we will focus on the quality of each
reallocation filed to ensure monies are allocated accurately. We will audit more of these
returns as well and with the changes in our process which we are implementing, the
completion of these reallocations will take longer than they have in the past.
As part of our plan to improve our reallocation process, we will increase our education
efforts so that the vendors, non -profits and local governments will know how to correctly
file their original returns. We will also be striving to find other ways in which to improve
this process and reduce the number of errors made and therefore the number of
reallocations needed.
If you have any questions, please contact James Rambeau at 919-733-7644.

the Town has no decent collection system map. I encourage the Town to continue its efforts to
gain funding to develop a collection system map and a -collection system Capital Improvements
Plan.
Please do not hesitate to call me at [phone] should you need to discuss this inspection

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
NOV-2007-PC-0042
Permit No. WQCS00205
Town of Marshall
Wastewater Collection System
Madison County
Dear Mr. Nix: ,
Attached is the report resulting from the Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation
Inspection conducted on Ja`nt ua,1F92©017 �y Don Price and Roy Davis of the Asheville Regional.
Office. This is being sent to the Town as a Notice of Violation (NOV) because of the number of
deficiencies. Let me start by saying that the, Town of Marshall .is making good progress in terms
of compliance with its Collection System Permit as compared to where it was a year ago.
Following are permit compliance issues observed during the inspection:
(1) The Town of Marshall needs to modify its Sewer Use Ordinance to allow the Town to
require that anyone having reasonable access to a newly constructed sewer actually tie
onto that sewer.
(2) The Town should adopt a collection system Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) which -has
the following features: covers three to five years, includes a Goals Statement, describes
project area, describes existing facilities, discussed known deficiencies and forecasts
future needs. To assist you in preparation of a CIP, I am sending you a Plan prepared by
the Town of Murphy. The Town of Marshall's Collection System Permit does not specify
how much capital money must be spent each year. The. Permit does, however, specify
2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, N.C. 28778 828/296-4500 (Telephone) 828/299-7043(Fax) Customer Service 877-623-6748 NorthCarolina

(3) that the Town have a CIP with specific features. The Town already spends money each
year for collection system capital projects, you just need to indicate in a CIP how much
you plan to spend over the next few years.
(4) The Town should immediately create a records keeping system documenting maintenance
of engine driven equipment used for collection system maintenance and in responding to
sewer system emergencies. All equipment powered by an engine should have its own
maintenance log.
(5) The Town's Spill Response Action Plan should be modified by the addition of a discussion
of expected response times in event of a SSO and list of equipment and spare parts t
available. Last year we sent you a copy of the Spill Response Action Plan prepared by V
Hendersonville. I refer you to that Plan to assist you 'in modification of the Plan for
Marshall. I likewise refer you to.the attached CD for an example of a Spill Response
Action Plan.
(6.) Sewage pumping station logs need to be modified to include a column indicating wet well 1'
cleaning, inspection and exercising of valves, inspection and lubrication of pumps and
inspection of alarms.
(7) In order to fully meet the requirements of the Town's Collection System Permit, by the time
of the next Collection System inspection, the Town should be making good progress
toward preparation of a collection system map which includes pipe size, direction arrows, ,.
pipe material, pipe age, number_of service taps and pump stations and capacities. Frank
Ogle is going to retire one of these days and the Town needs a collection system mapping
system which can capture his knowledge of the system. A G/S based system can best do
this.
The Redmon Road sewage pumping station needs improved housekeeping. The fence could be
repaired, debris removed and holes in the ground filled so as to not represent a tripping hazard
should work at night need to be done.
This office offers non -regulatory Technical Assistance to�any-member of -the regulated
community.` We want to help the Town of -Marshall comply with its collection system Permit. We
will be disappointed if we do not receive request to review proposed record keeping formats or
otherwise assist -the Town in complying with its collection system Permit. To request Technical
Assistance please call Don Price at 828-296-4500.
All of the deficiencies described in this NOV should be dealt with by the time of the next
inspection. After discussing deficiencies in a Notice of Violation, it is our practice to consider
r
recommending Civil Penalties should the same deficiencies be observed at the time of the next
inspection. The North Carolina- General Statutes provide Civil Penalties of up to $25,000 per
day for permit violations with each day considered a separate violation.

I am also enclosing -a CD which has documents and information which may be useful to Marshall
in coming into compliance with its Collection System Permit. I urge the Town to take advantage
of our offer of Technical: Assistance to achieve compliance with the. Town's Permit. Please do
not hesitate to call Don Price or Roy Davis at 828-296-4500 should you need to discuss any
aspect of this report. -
Sincerely,
Roger C. Edwards, Regional Supervisor

Permit: WQCS00205 Owner - Facility: Town of Marshall
Inspection Date: 12/09/2005 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The Town of Marshall was issued a Collection System Permit'in June of this year. I view this inspection as helping the
Town getting started down the road to compliance.
The Town needs to develop a grease reduction program. Firstly the Town needs to insure that grease traps at
commercial establishments are pumpes as needed. Attached is a list of known companies in the grease trap pumping
business. I will send the Town examples of Educational Materials for its citizens.
Keeping a Work Orders relating to the sewer system could serve a Maintenance Log for the sewer system.
Temporary signs have been installed on all pump stations. Permanant Emergency Notification signs will be installed, in
the near future.
I am sending the Town a copy of Hendersonville's Spill Response Plan to use as a reference in creating its own plan.

Re: Response to October 6, 2006 release letter
Dear Messrs and Madams:
Unfortunately, we are not able to confidently sign -the release letter given to Peter by
Bruce W , police officer for.the Town of Marshall. We are riot certain that our
complaint will be satisfied by simply replacing contaminated soil on our. property.
Although we would appreciate the Town of Marshall taking away the contaminated soil
and replacing it with dry, non -polluted soil as it has promised on numerous occasions,
the condition of the sewer line above our property is of strong concern to us. The
results of the Chemistry. Laboratory Report/Water Quality test done on September 18,
2006 by Roy M. Davis, Environmental Engineer for the North -Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality, reinforces our concern.
His letter of October 6, 2006 and accompanying laboratory report were carbon copied to
Alderman Wild and I have enclosed a copy for the Town of Marshall as well.
we feel that the sewer line above our property needs to be tested for leaks and breaks
and, if necessary, it should be repaired and replaced so that our ground water and soil
are not contaminated with harmful -sewage related organisms.
Therefore, until such tests and/or repairs are completed, and further ground water and
soil testing prove that.our ground water and soil are free of harmful sewage related
organisms, our complaint cannot be satisfied.
Sincerely,
Enclosure

Dear Mr. Nix:
Enclosed you will find the report resulting from the sewage collection system
Compliance Evaluation Inspection which I conducted on December 9, 2005. The purpose
of the inspection was to evaluate the operation and maintenance of the Town of
Marshall's sewage collection system.
Marshall was issued its Collection System Permit in June of this year so I view this
inspection as positioning the Town to comply with the terms and conditions of its.permit. I
will send you information relating to the Public Education component of a grease
reduction program. - Attached is a list provided by one City showing a few companies who
are known to pump grease traps.
. Keeping copies of Work Orders .in one place would serve : as a sewer system
maintenance log. Please let me know when permanent emergency notification signs have
been installed on the Town's four sewage pumping stations. 0311 b/ o
Attached is a copy of the Spill Response Plan drawn up by the City of V�c
b
Hendersonville. This could serve as a model for Marshall s Spill Response Plan. Please
send me a copy of the Towns Plan when completed.

Inspection Summary:
The Town of Marshall was issued a Collection System Permit in June of this year. I view this inspection as helping the
Town getting started down the road to compliance.
The Town needs to develop a grease reduction program. Firstly the Town needs to insure that grease traps at
commercial establishments are pumpes as needed. Attached is a list of known companies in the grease trap pumping
business. I will send the Town examples of Educational Materials for its citizens.
Keeping a Work Orders relating to the sewer system could serve a Maintenance Log for the sewer system.
Temporary signs have been installed on all pump stations. Permanant Emergency Notification signs will be installed in -
the near future.
I am sending the Town a copy of Hendersonville's Spill Response Plan to use as a reference in creating its own plan.

Currently this facility is down to one return pump which allows solids to build up in the clarifier.
According to the operator replacement parts are on order and the second pump is slated for repair.
This repair should occur as soon as possible.
A manual bar screen at this site is not continually manned and this significantly increases the
possibility of the screen blinding over and a spill occurring. A mechanical bar screen would prevent
such an event and would also limit the exposure that staff have to manually raking the bar screen.
Currently both aerators are operational and there is one spare gear -box. According to the operator they
are considering a different type of aerator so that spare parts would be easier to acquire.
60 tons of sludge have been removed from this facility since acquiring a new operator.

Dear Mr. Ponder:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
RECEIVED
APR 2 6 2013
DWQ/Surface Water Protection Section
Asheville Regional Office
In accordance with your application received April 9"', 2013, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQCS00205, dated April 22, 2013, to the Town of Marshall for the operation and
maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from June 1 ", 2013 until May 31 st, 2021 and 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 and any compliance schedules 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
witli � 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:
L 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
hM?://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/cs/ssoEgport. .
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.

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
Town of Marshall
Madison County:
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 9.2 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 1.25 miles of force main, 4
duplex pump stations, and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances required to make a
complete and operational wastewater collection system to serve the Town of Marshall'and any
deemed permitted satellite communities-, pursuant to the application received April 9th, 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 June 16t, 2013 until May 31st, 2021, and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations: -
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Town of
Marshall Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0021733)' prior to being disposed into the
receiving stream. This collection system permit will - be referenced upon renewal or
modification of your NODES 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) (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.
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
day, seven days per week can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number
shall be coupled with instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the
visual alarm illuminates, if the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
10. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A
NCAC 02T .305(h)(4).
11. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with
pump stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication
system) shall have, both audible and visual high water alarms. The, -alarms shall be
weather-proof and placed in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the
construction of pump stations that included high water alarms in the description must
maintain the alarms even if simple telemetry (i.e. notification of an alarm condition
initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
12. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion -resistant and
components in close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion -
resistant. coating or encasement.
13. All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the
existing utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of
Condition (1)(2) of this permit.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
