You stated that our Orion 710 chlorine meter was inadequate to measure to. 28 micrograms which is inaccurate. I checked with the manufactures and they insist the instrument with the probe we use (Orion 97-70) is capable of measuring to 0.010 milligrams with a reproducibility of +i- 2%. The instrument you recommended (ampermetric titrater) has no better accuracy than our instrument. Attached is a copy of the most recent calibration of our instrument. It demonstrates that the accuracy of our instrument is good to 10 micrograms. 2. I.O. measurements are now -being taken at the site and location recorded. 3. pH — all old buffers have: been discarded and have been replaced with new bottles and arc labeled with expiration dates. I hope this corrects all the problems you found with the inspection.

BOX 186 SPINDALE, NC 28160 Dear Mr. Hodge: Your letter, received March 8, 2004, concerning corrective actions taken in response to the items cited in the February 2, 2004 inspection has been received and reviewed. The actions taken are acceptable with the following exceptions and comments. Total Residual Chlorine From the data you submitted it appears the electrode is working satisfactorily' at the low concentration required by your new permit. But because of the Division of Water Quality letter stating that only spectrophotometer and ampermetric titratl6n methods will be accepted for low level chlorine, we are requesting you analyze a blind performance sample for Ultra Low Level Total Residual Chlorine. If the results from the Ultra Low Level Performance Evaluation sample are acceptable we will be glad to allow your facility to use this method. This will also meet your Performance Evaluation Sample requirement for Total Residual Chlorine for 2004, that is, another sample would not have to be analyzed in 2004 if these results are acceptable. Please order a "quick turn around" type performance evaluation sample for ULTRA LOW LEVEL Total Residual Chlorine and have the results to us within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Thank you again for your cooperation. Please contact us at 828-251-6208 ext. 285 if you have questions. Sincerely, GaA", ►1 , Gary Francies Laboratory Section cc: James W.

This one is over a year old, if it can be moved very quickly, then collect, it not, then totally remit. What is the problem with getting assessed penalties through the system? Looking from the bottom -up on the chain of command (as in my view on this matter) it appears that someone is not following procedures, or is micro managing, or is failing to manage.

While the majority of the project will take place in Cherokee County, South Carolina, a smaller portion is proposed in Rutherford County, North Carolina (See Figure 1, enclosed). In order to assist S&ME in determining what type of information or concerns that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) recommends be included or addressed in the ER document, we are providing this brief description of the proposed project. The portion of the proposed project taking place in North Carolina will involve water line installation within approximately 1.5-mile of right -of -Way along U.S. Highway 221. The project will begin at an existing water line on the south side of the Broad River in Rutherford County, North Carolina. S&ME, Inc. I Mailing address: (704) 523-4726 9751 Southern Pine Blvd. P.O.

Secondly, please accept my apologies for the time it has taken to compile this report, corrective,, action plan and Consent Agreement proposal as recommended by DWQ staff. While I committed to being able to deliver this back,in September of 2011, a number of needs conspired to get in my way. This is nobody's fault by own and is certainly not an indication of a lack of urgency and priority of the Consent Agreement. We recently had a contentious local election that raised.a divisive issue to the top of the stack... where it has burned brightly for the last several months. W0 have been -engaged in lawsuits, appeals, settlement negotiations and ordinance amendments. The topic is Ilse town's regulatoryprogram for short-term vacation rental homes ... within which the environmental.safety of `septic and sewer systems is a significant component. With the tourist season behind us and the winter permit' standards in place, we have operated the plant in compliance since -October. Having recently received the Notices of Violation from your division for permit violations from May through October, I'd like to address these within this Consent Agreement... and submit this as our written response to them. Submitted for your review is a proposed Consent Agreement, under which the Town will implement an Action Plan to achieve plant compliance. We have outlined several strategies that the Town will employ (and a timeline for them) in order to achieve compliance at the plant. If the plan is agreeable to DWQ, then we ask for your continued partnership and technical support as we analyze the operations at the plant. Additionally, we request an abatement or remission of any current or future fines (during the Consent Agreement period), which will enable us to direct our very constrained resources toward the improvement strategies outlined. Thank you, and I look forwa to continued discussion regarding our proposal.

Proposed Consent Agreement Attachments: No. 1 NPDES Permit No. 2 Non -Compliance History Chart No. 3 W WTP Flow Graphs No. 4 Tracer Test in Settling Tank No. 5 2010 Lake Lure Comprehensive Sewer.Study 2010 (excerpt) No. 6 Lake Lure Sewer Operations Budget No. 7 Corrective Action Timeline Under Consent Agreement I. Plant Operations The Town of Lake Lure owns and contract operates a..995 mgd waste water treatment facility. The State of North Carolina Issued a NPDES Permit effective'August 1, 2009. Since the issuance of the permit, the town has been steadily"working.towards meeting the permit conditions of the plant including, but not limited to', reducing Ehe inflow to the plant, reduction of TSS, Ammonia, and overall record keeping and plant.operations. Due to concerns with heavy flows, the condition of plant components and compliance'. issues, the town operated the plant under a Special Order by Consent (SOC) agreement with DWQ from October of 2007 until February of 2009, during which time a number of plant upgrades were installed. [Note: while this investment enhanced some components, it did not add capacity or detention time to the system.] Please find Attachment No. 1 - NPD& Permit Since January of 2010, the Town has contracted with James & James Environmental to operate the treatment plant. Upon retirement of the Town'§ employee operator at the end of 2009, we received and evaluated proposals from the following vendors: • James & James Environmental • Byers Environmental • Don Price • United Water C The sections following outline the issues, actions taken to date, and action plan the Town intends to proceed with under a Consent Agreement aimed,ati.achieving full compliance with the NPDES permit. IL Operational Challenges The following are persistent challenges with Lake Lure's sewer treatment plant. Taken together, they challenge an operator's ability to meet all of the discharge parameters as expanded in our 2009 permit. Working with our operator, consulting engineers and external vendors, we have worked diligently to optimize the operation of the plant in order to achieve compliance. Additionally, we have innovated and experimented when regular operations proved insufficient. Section V of this report identifies a further course of action to be taken to overcome these issues. Inefficient/ Undersized Plant Design and Equipment: In 2010, the Town of Lake Lure commissioned Brown Consultants, PA to provide a Comprehensive Sewer Study, which included the Town's collection system and the waste, water treatment plant. One of the principal conclusions of the study was that key components of the plant are undersized and inefficient at the permitted flow. Even at significantly reduced flow, we are not seeing improvements. For several steps in the process, there is simply too little detention time, a function of the size and/or configuration of the equipment (e.g., secondary clarifier, chlorine contact chamber.) By comparison, the Town of Rutherfordton process about the same flow volume as we have now (after our successful UI reduction), yet their clarifiers and contact chamber are orders ;'ofmagnitude 5 or 1 OX our size. Their plant is rated to .handle more volume, but currently our flow levels are comparable. Our plant is situated on a small;plot of land between the Rocky Broad river and Highway 64/74A: I It has only a small amount;of space.for expansion. The Comprehensive Sewer Study analyzed options for component expansion in this space as well as the potential for relocating the plant (not very viable.) Option VI in the sewer study (see attachment.No. 5) outlines 15 construction items and a budget of $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. Items include a new flash mixer basin, flocculator basin, clarifier, chlorine contact chamber. 2. Iron: Iron oxidation of the plant components and the effluent have long been a challenge at Lake Lure's plant. Iron is present in the influent because it is naturally-occuring in our water supply and, undoubtedly, the aged dast`iron collection lines contribute as well. Influent iron values are being collected and it, can be seen that the iron values are not excessive. However, due to the physical/chemical -treatment process, the iron that is in solution readily oxidizes and comes out of solution but stays in suspension. The Town and its operator have operated the plant to try and maintain a balance of disinfection without oxidation of the iron. The oxidation of the iron at the end of the plant results in discharging a color stream to the river and higher TSS numbers. This has proven to be a challenge, specifically in.combating the high fecal numbers of July and August 2011.. 3. Low water temperature: Because most tithe collection system sits below 50 to 100 feet of lake water (beneath the thermocline,)'kis'subject to year-round cooling. The influent 3 temperate ranges from 11 to 15 degrees Celsius. We have found that this adds challenge to treatment processes, particularly biological strategies. 4. Heavy Flow: For many years, the town struggled with increasing UI from the lake. Under pressure, water seeped into the decaying joints of the original 1920's cast iron pipes laid along creek beds during the construction of the lake. Flows at the plant climbed to point where they occasionally exceeded 1 mgd (above the plant's permitted rating) and averaged nearly .8 mgd annually;1`We estimated that 70-80% of that flow was I/I from the lake. The town operated, ihe, p,lanf under "a 'Special Order by Consent (SOC) from October of 2007 until February,of,2d09'.,..in part'to`address the flows that were so close to the permit threshold. The operational impact of these flows was that waste material was heavily diluted to the point where the plant needed to operate as a,physical- chemical process, more akin to a water treatment plant. Under this dilution, a biological process isn't effective as there aren't enough nutrients to support bacterial colonies. We've been told that we may be the only municipal physical -chemical treatment plant in the state. We're certainly one of the only places in the nation that has a collection system of this size at the bottom of a 100-foot deep lake. Reduced Flow, Septic Flows: With the aid of an ARRA grant, the Town of Lake Lure conducted a comprehensive joint -wrapping; program at the bottom of the lake. Over a two-year period from October 2009 to October 2011, divers wrapped the joints of the main sewer trunk under the lake and a number of laterals connecting to manholes. Additionally, we effected repairs to land -based sewer lines and to private collection systems around the lake. The effective flow reduction was a stunning amount... about .5 mgd. Our average flow is now between .3 and .4 mgd. While the reduction in inflow is a positive for the system, it changes the dynamics of the plant and how it operates. While the amount of ammonia, TSS, and BOD remains the same in the influent, the concentration increases. With the reduction in overall flow, we began..experiencing periodic surges of deeply black, septic, trash -filled flow at the plant:,' These flows ;further challenge our plant's ability to reduce the concentration of ammonia to within discharge limits. After many investigations and dead -ends, we concluded that these were a byproduct of low flow and the uneven grade of the collection system pipes at the bottom of the lake. We have diagnosed that, during low flows, several aKeas of the system have dips that collect and stagnate the sewage, which then get released during high -flow periods (like rainstorms or the first significant summer weekends.) We've been able to instigate these septic flows through a flush of water through a portion of the system and we've now incorporated periodic flushing into our collection system maintenance process. See Attachment 3: WWTP Flow Graphs 6. Sludge Management As a physical -chemical treatment plant, significant volumes of chemicals are added as a flocking agent and must be removed as accumulated sludge. Given the small size of the plant, managing this sludge is a considerable challenge. • Area land -application vendors have been unable to meet the year-round sludge removal requirements of the plant. • Sludge hauling costs are high, as it requires transport out of the Hickory Nut Gorge to a facility like MSD in Buncombe County 7. Resource Constraints As a small town Witli an. aged and undersized treatment plant and a , uniquely challenging collection system, Lake Lure has been highly constrained in our ability to invest adequate resources in,thissystem. • The town's water and sewer utilities together operate in an enterprise fund. As a standalone, business -type enterprise, the expenses of these operations are expected to be covered fully by fee revenues. The local government commission has repeatedly admonished the Town against using general tax revenues to meet the operating or capital needs of the sewer utility. • With a small customer base (around 1,000 sewer connections,) our fee revenues do not cover much beyond basic operations costs. We have been regularly raising rates that are among the highest in the state. • Our operational budget for the sewer system (treatment plant and collection .system) in FY 2011/2012 is $265,000.' .Our capital improvement budget for the sewer system is about $50,000. • We utilized debt to finance the underwater joint wrapping project. The town's portion of the project cost will be $1.3 million, or about $55,000 per year for 20 years. • Around $1 million was invested in plant upgrades prior to and during the SOC period. To pay for this, we emptied the water/sewer fund balance and borrowed from the General Fund. Although we've not been able to repay this amount, a lawsuit settlement has allowed us; to increase our water/sewer fund balance to ,about $200,000. This provides ussomeiprotection against revenue risks and .emergency needs, but not, much to., enhanee capital improvement budgets. III. Compliance History Since the issuance of the NDPES Permit, the plant has had continual operational challenges with meeting the permit limits on ammonia, TSS, and, occasionally, fecal coliform. The following are compliance issues: 1..Ammonia: Since April 1, 2011 the average effluent NH3 has been 9.33 mg/l. The influent ammonia averaged 8.66 over the same period."Since the permit was issued, the ammonia limit has only been compliant in September 2009 and October 2009. Note: there are no ammonia limits in place during the months of November through March. 2. TSS: Since the issuance of the permit the plant has not met the TSS limit of 30 mg/l monthly average numerous times (primarily in the peak season summer months.) 3. Fecal Coliform: Since the issuance of the permit, fecal coliform been non -compliant on 3 occasions: September 2010, July and August 2011. The situation in July and August was as a result of operational changes and pilot tasting of new treatment methods (as described in the previous section.) Well-intentioned'efforts.to effect positive changes were accompanied by unintended consequences_arid it took. us two months to regain equilibrium. Please find Attachment No. 2 - Town of Lake Lure : DWQ N.O. V. & Fines History 5 IV. Corrective Measures Employed The following is brief discussion on the non-compliance items and actions taken to date: 1. Overall Overations: The switch to a contract operator in 2010 resulted in a number of immediate and lasting improvements at the plant: • Increased daily attention on plant).bperations (the former ORC was also responsible for the dam; hydroelectric operations and sewer collection system) • Improved housekeeping and maintenance; repairs of a number of components • Consolidation of chemical sto'fage ' ':+ • Elimination of chlorine gas from,thei,faeility • Improved daily field testing, recordkeeping for analysis (BOD, TSS, NH3, iron, alkalinity, MLVSS, dissolved oxygen, pH, flow and feed rates) • Jar testing and process control analysis • 24-hour circular flow chart recorder installed Z. Ammonia: The ammonia limit during the April thru October months has continually been a challenge. As the plant is being run as a physical chemical plant, there are only a few options available to reduce ammonia -nitrogen. Following the December 2010 strategy meeting with DWQ, the following actions have been taken: TMD Technologies implemented a pilot in -stream Biological Reactor to reduce BOD, TSS, and Ammonia using media inoculated with a customized strain of bacteria. The pilot reactor was placed on-line March 9, 2011 and ran to July 4, 2011. The findings of the pilot were that the water proved to be too cold for the microbes to become effective. During this period, the operator was instructed to minimize the pumping of sludge, from the settling basin in order to provide the bacteria sufficient time to work.., TMD Technologies then converted,their pilot to a side -stream stacked tower with a blower to warm the water. Again the objective was to evaluate the effects of this bacterial treatment to reduce BOD, TSS, and Ammonia. The pilot was placed on line July 14th. However, operational problems with the reactors internal recycle resulted in heavy flashing of the media. Upon conversion to a side -stream pilot, the operator was to return to an aggressive sludge pumping schedule. However, a miscommunication between TSS, the town's engineers and our plant operator resulted in a continuation of the original instruction to minimize wasting. The accumulated sludge in the basin, coupled with concerns with over -feeding chlorine (see iron issue in previous section), brought the plant out of compliance for fecal in July and August. At the time, the settling basin averaged 5-6 feet in depth of accumulated sludge with the following impacts: 6 - Settling basin settling' capacity was reduced as velocity across the basin increased Increased TSS Septic sludge producing ammonia in the plant Once the error was diagnosed, the operator began to remove the sludge, but it took nearly two months to return to equilibrium due to limitations in our digester size and pumping rate. Additional actions to combat ammonia: • Remove the accumulated sludge in the settling basin, as it was producing NH3. • Provide an internal recycle from the clarifier to the head of the plant. This did not work as the sludge was septic and did nothing more than continue to foul the plant operation. • Detailed logging of daily operations for process control and study (flow and feed rates, parameter testing) 3. TSS: To date the following has been'done to attempt to reduce the TSS: • TMD Technologies in -stream and side -stream pilots • Dripping sodium aluminate in the clarifier to attempt to increase settling efficiency • Caustic feed to provide pH control at the head of the plant to improve coagulation • Remove the accumulated sludge in the settling basin • Internal Recycle from clarifier to head of plant • Detailed logging of daily operations :for process control and study (flow and feed rates, parameter testing). • Conducted tracer test in settling basin and throughout the plant process 4. Fecal Coliform: Since the issuance of the;permit in 2009, fecal has been non -compliant on three occasions. The actions that been to taken to date to address this are as follows: • Relocate dechlorination agent further downstream to achieve greater chlorine contact time • Raised the feed rate of chlorine and calcium thiosolufate as required • Implement plan to continually monitor chlorine residuals in the contact chamber 7 5 Other plant operations and treatment options considered: Operation Action Chlorine feed at head of plant process Not attempted — the TMD pilot was a biological process Addition of lime Attempted previously in August of 2010 with no positive results Addition of air for NH3 removal Not attempted due to concerns regarding the oxidation of iron. Downstream flow measurement A staff gauge has been installed and daily flow rates are • being monitored. At all times, the °flow has lexceeded the 7Q 10 level referenced in our -permit. ' 0 V. Proposed Consent Agreement We propose that the Town of Lake Lure and DENR-DWQ shall enter a Consent Agreement that will address the actions being to achieve plant compliance. Under this agreement, the Town will implement 5 strategies (detailed below) over the course of a year. These strategies will either bring the plant into full compliance or will yield a detailed analysis and consensus recommendations of further actions needed to achieve compliance. Under this agreement, DENR-DWQ will work closely with the Town's team (officials, operators & engineers) to assess results and analysis and to determine possible solutions. Additionally, VWQ will hold in remission any current or pending fines. Upon the completion of the work during the Consent Agreement period, DWQ will work with the Town to evaluate next steps that could include: • Determination of the status of outstanding fines • Further operational changes to the plant • Plant upgrade/construction plans • Discharge permit modifications Duration: the Consent Agreement shall be in effect for one year from the date of signing. Strategy 1. Physical -Chemical Plant- Empirical Analysis and Operational Adjustments: A. Operational Management James & James will be released from their contract with the Town. While the plant has vastly improved under their management and despite their exceedingly conscientious work and high integrity, they have nonetheless been unable to achieve compliance with our plant. The town will enter into a contract with Byers Environmental, the runner-up proposal from the 2009 bidding. Mr. Don Byers has been working closely with our plant and our collection system since 2008 as an associate with Brown Consultants, the town's consulting engineers at the plant. With his knowledge of our plant and its unique challenges, he is confident that compliance can be achieved and/or we will have a prescriptive remedy at the end of the Coriserit Agreement period. As Mr. Byers has recently concluded his work as the lead -project manager on our ARRA pipe wrapping project, he is now available to dedicate his efforts to the treatment plant. Mr. Byers will serve as ORC on a tempor0y (1.�0-day)license and will pursue obtaining the necessary physical/chemical plant. certifications (I and I1) during this timeframe. 3. The town will contract with Brown Consultants, PA to coordinate with Mr. Byers in developing a strategic analysis plan for each component of the plant for better utilization and improved treatment. This will be an added operational cost for the Town. 9 .! .I. 'r I B. Operations Analysis During the period of the Consent Agreement, Brown Consultants, PA, will perform the following: 1. Analysis on TSS levels through improyed.coagulation and settling. Analysis will include feed points, feed and loading rates. The analysis will include findings and recommendations for improvements. 2. Analysis on Nitrogen -Ammonia removal. The analysis will include breakpoint chlorination, feed points and loading rates. The analysis will include findings and recommendations for improvements. 3. Analysis on improved disinfection and contact time at the plant, to include feed points, developing a plant flow to loading table development. The analysis will include findings and recommendations for improvements. 3. Findings and analysis will be reported,and,delivered in a Quarterly Report produced for the Town of Lake Lure and ARO-DWQ. 4. Specific operational changes that will be performed and analyzed: - Relocating chlorine feed point to the head of the plant, to achieve immediate disinfection, flash out the iron and measure accurately the free chlorine, to attempt to achieve break point chlorination and provide ammonia reduction. - The settling basin will be used to reduce and settle the oxidized iron. - pH adjustment will be made to stabilize, -pH between 7.4 and 7.6 prior to the addition of coagulant - The alum feed will be relocated to the, end of the settling basin; the clarifier will be utilized for settling - Alternative coagulants will be tested - The sludge blanket in the settling basin will be kept under 6 inches in depth - Relocating the dechlorination to the oxidation manhole for maximum contact time - Changes to solids handling (outlined in Strategy 2) Strategy 2. Improved Sludge Management Plan: A. Course of Action: 1. Continue to waste, decant,�pump andihaul while proceeding with developing a Sludge Management Plan 2. Run tests of sludge dewatering capabilities; to include a. Tencate (geotube): this entails an on -site pilot unit and testing for effectiveness b. Charter (filter press): this entails sludge samples sent to manufacturer for testing 3. Evaluate and compare cost and efficiency of: a. geotube 16 b. filter press C. land application d. centrifuge C. composting B. Timeline Please refer to the attached graph (Attachment No. 7.) Month one (1) represents the start time upon signing of the Consent Agreement. 1. Item one (1) above is current and on -going as sludge handling alternatives are evaluated. 2. Item two (2) above will start upon approval of the Consent Agreement and should be completed within 3 to 4 months of the start time. Continued pursuit of either geotubes or filter press above will be based upon outcome of initial pilot testing and costing analysis. 3. In iterri three (3) above, items a and b will run concurrently; items c, d, a will run concurrently and will primarily include a feasibility and cost analysis. 4. Finding and analysis will be reported and:delivered in a Quarterly Report produced for the Town of Lake Lure and ARO-DWQ. Strategy 3. Seek Funding Assistance for Side Stream Biological Pilot Study In prior conversations between the Town, Brown Consultants and DWQ-ARO, there was consensus that aside -stream biological pilot could yield valuable information regarding the viability of biological treatment now that the flows have been reduced. However, we will need grant assistance for this study. While the other operational strategies are underway, we will pursue funding from several sources, including the.NC Rural Center Capacity Building Grant through the NC Clean Water Partners Program, The status of this activity will be reported and delivered in the Quarterly Report produced for the Town of Lake Lure and ARO-DWQ. Strategy 4. Determine Capital Improvement Capacity.' The Town will work with Brown Consultants to evaliiate;the near -term feasibility of Option VI in the 2010 Comprehensive Sewer Study —a $1.$-$2,000,00b upgrade of the existing plant facility. We will examine debt financing options, revenue projections and rate structures. We will also explore grant sources including, but not limited to: - CDBG — infrastructure, rolling application with the NC Dept. of Commerce - CWMTF — application for design and construction funding - NCDENR-DWQ-CG&L - CWSRF ,. is 1 T• _ •- The status of this activity will be reported and delivered in the Quarterly Report produced for the Town of Lake Lure and ARO-DWQ. Strategy 5. Pursuit of Interconnect Funding Solution: During the Consent Agreement, the Town of Lake Lure will continue efforts to find support for a regional interconnect solution. Preliminary engineering estimates this to be an $8 to $10 million project. Despite lots of support for this solution, the main challenge has been in locating a lead entity that is capable of financing this amount and is interested in operating a regional sewer system. 1. Lake Lure, Rutherfordton and other potential partners will fund the construction of a utility financial model that estimates the cash flows associated with building the interconnect and bringing on flow and fee revenues from towns in a phased manner (beginning with Lake Lure.) This model will be used to demonstrate the financial feasibility for a regional sewer authority. 2. We will continue to encourage the Broad'iliver Water Authority board to explore the expansion of their operations to include regional, sewer services. This provides them diversification and growth capability::, 3. Continue to seek grant opportunities at the county, state and federal levels. This is a particularly attractive project because of its regionalization, elimination of discharge sources and economic development. 4. Continue to seek support for this project from elected officials at all levels. 5. Report status in the Quarterly Report produced for the Town of Lake Lure and ARO- DWQ. Sewer Overations Budget & Timeline Under the Consent Agreement, the Town will increase the monthly operating budget for the sewer treatment plant by $3,500 to accommodate an increased level of analysis. The added costs are in these areas: - W WTP Operator - Plant & Process Engineering: analys'js,&, quarterly, reporting (to Town and DWQ) - Sludge Management: testing, evaluation, planning Further, there could be additional costs of equ p- m' qnt rental related to the sludge management testing. - For the remainder of FY 2012, we will need to utilize funds budgeted for capital improvements to cover the additional costs and the council will need to appropriate $15,000 more for the remaining fiscal year. We will prepare a new budget for FY 2013 that accommodates the Consent Agreement activities. 12: 1. i A r See Attachment No. 6: Lake Lure Sewer Operations Budget See Attachment No. 7: Corrective Action Timeline Under Consent Agreement 13 e4: NORT)t-I';CARO.LINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES RUTHERFORD COUNTY IN THE MATTER OF NORTH CAROLINA NPDES PERMIT NCO025381 HELD BY TOWN OF LAKE LURE COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT CA-2011-XXX Pursuant to provisions of North Carolina General Statues 143-215.3(a)(6), this Compliance Agreement is entered into by the Town of Lake Lure, herein referred to as Permittee, and the North Carolina department of Environment and Natural Resources, an agency of the State of North Carolina created by N.C.

DENNIS Subject: Recycle Permits for Tourist Gem Mines From: "Forrest Westall" <tsl9w78@aro.enr.state.nc.us> at Internet Date: 3/11/98 10:37 AM I recently sent you a note about annual fees for this type permit (last 3 months or so). We had in the past "waved" the fees for this type facility because under the general NPDES permits we allow gem mines to discharge as long as they meet min. design criteria for their "treatment" system (pond size). Since We do not require a fee for discharging systems, why should we apply a fee developed for industrial "recycle" systems to these small systems that are doing us and the environment a favor by recycling their water rather than discharging turbid water to our surface waters. If we "punish" them by applying a fee that is "out of line" with what they are doing, we will be doing a disservice to the gem mine owner and the logic of good wastewater management (there are some that believe that we shouldn't even be dealing with these type operations, wave the permit requirement all together). I recall that we had general agreement from you and others that this fee was not appropriate. Well, we thought this was fixed, but we now have a fee notification letter for a gem mine in Henderson County (Cedar something). Roger Roger Edwards -- 1 -- Wed, 11 Mar 1998 16:53:47 Edwards has talked to at least three people about this and requested that we wave the fee (the facility has never paid one before) for the reasons I just cited.

Reasons for watershed protection: Watershed protection would protect the water supply for the Town of Lake Lure as well as produce economic benefits by reducing problems caused by sedimentation in Lake Lure_ Protection of the watershed is also an uncommon opportunity to provide protection for several highly significant natural areas and rare species populations in Hickory Nut Gorge, which is largely unprotected. 1. Watershed protection would help to maintain the ecological integrity of the exemplary natural community types that are present_ These are habitats for numerous rare plant and animal species. The clustering of significant sites with multiple rare species occurrences in the Pool Creek Watershed, is an uncommon situation in North Carolina. 2. Protection of the watershed would help maintain population levels for species that are sensitive to disturbance. Examples include the green salamander which depends on undisturbed forest habitats and the Southern Appalachian woodrat which is secretive and will abandon habitats which are disturbed.. ` 3. Watershed protection) would provide essential linkage between sign fcant sites. The Worlds Edge/Sugarloaf Mountain, Chimney Rock Park Natural Urea, and Cane Creek Mountain ecological sites would be substantially enhanced if they are linked to each other by a natural landscape. ilk 1@006 06/07/00 FED 09:41 FAX 864 583 7181 Children's Hosp.Specialt Q 007 SCIENTIFIC AND STATE FED.

Proctor Co. Employee's Profit Sharing Trust, by and through counsel, and file's this Petition for Contested Case in the Office of Administrative Hearings. In support of said Petition, Petitioner would show unto the Court as follows: 1. J.S. Proctor Co. Employee's Profit Sharing Trust ("J.S. Proctor") is a trust with an office and place of business in Charlotte, North Carolina. 2. J.S. Proctor owns a several hundred acre tract of undeveloped forest land (the "Property") located in Lake Lure,l North Carolina. A logging road has existed on the property for approximately 80 years but in 1998 was overgrown and unuseable. 3. In October of 1998, J� S. Proctor made plans to clear and re -grade the logging road for the purpose of harvesting timber and timber products from the property. 4. At the time the logging road was re -graded, J.S. Proctor advised Mr. Charles Koontz of the Land Quality Section that it might sell large tracts (in excess of ten acres), but J.S. Proctor had no intent I n of selling smaller tracts. 5. In December of 1998; J.S. Proctor contracted with the Nelon Company ("Nelon") to harvest timber. Soonthereafter, Nelon began logging activities on the property in R&S211773 accordance with the best management practices set out in Forest Practice Guidelines . Related to Water Qualiity. 6. On or about January 29, 1999, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR") Land Quality Section inspected the property to determine compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act of 1973 7. DENR issued to J.S. Proctor a Notice of Violation dated February 3, 1999 stating that its activity on the property was considered land -disturbing activity conducted on a tract larger than one acre as defined by the North Carolina SPCA, N.C.G.S. § 113A-52(6), and that J.S. Proctor was in violation of several provisions of the SPCA and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder. 8. In February of 1999, J.S. Proctor hired Dalton Brothers Construction Company to install culverts and to re -grade the existing logging road in order to ensure a stable logging operation. I 9. On or about February122, 1999, based on discussions with Richard Phillips in the Land Quality Section, J.S. Proctor submitted an affidavit stating that it was only logging the property and not developing the property for sale. 10. J.S. Proctor received subsequent Notices of Violation dated May 26, 1999; June 1, 1999; June 3, 1999; and Junle 8, 1999. These Notices directed J.S. Proctor to implement certain corrective measures within specified time frames. 11. J.S. Proctor promptly,'implemented the corrective measures as required by DENR in its Notices of Violation including the preparation and filing of a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. i 12. On or about June:28, 11999, a truck owned and operated by Latco Concrete Products in Forest City, N.C., came onto the J.S. Proctor property. The truck went off the road on the J.S. Proctor property twice, resulting in considerable damage to the road and causing sediment to be deposited in Pool Creek. A copy of a letter from J.S. Proctor to Latco Concrete Products, Inc. is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 1 13. On August 8, 1999, DENR issued a Civil Penalty Assessment against J.S. Proctor, stating that between June 1, 1999 and July 22, 1999, J.S. Proctor violated four requirements of the SPCA and/or the 'rules adopted thereunder. DENR levied a penalty against J.S. Proctor in the amount of $13,520.00 for said violations. I 14. J.S. Proctor filed a Petition for Contested Case in the Office of Administrative Hearings, 1 i R&S:211773 2 I i File No. 99-EHR-1119. 15. J.S. Proctor participated in mediation with the Division of Land Resources of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and paid $9,000 in full satisfaction of that assessment. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 16. On July 7, 1999, the NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, sent a Notice of Violation/ Recommendation for Enforcement against J.S. Proctor concerning an alleged violation of the stream standard for turbidity at the headwaters to Pool Creek. 17. On March 27, 2000, a civil penalty of $5,272.34 was assessed against J.S. Proctor through a document entitled Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties which was filed by the Secretary to the DENR, Division of Water Quality. 18. J.S. Proctor believes, Viand therefore alleges that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, acting through its Division of Water Quality, acted erroneously, arbitrarily, and capriciously and substantially prejudiced its rights in levying a civil penalty against J.S. Proctor for the following reasons: A. The turbidity readings recorded on June 29, 1999 were caused by the concrete truck from Latco Concrete Products, Inc. and. were not the result of:anyl activities of J.S. Proctor. B. The turbidity resulted from fallen trees with exposed soil at the roots and not from activities of J.S. Proctor. i C. It is the policy of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that it will not issue notices of violation or assess civil penalties for turbidity violations resulting from land -disturbing activities unless the person conducting the land -disturbing activities does not have in place required Best Management Practices (`BMP's"). In this case, J.S. Proctor ha's already been fined for failing to have BMP's in place and is now being fined for water quality violations allegedly resulting frorl the failure to have BMP's in place. The action of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is erroneous, arbitrary, and capricious. D. J.S. Proctor has already paid a fine of $9,000.00 for violations related to land -disturbing activities, and to impose this additional penalty is arbitrary, erroneous, capricious, and unduly harsh. RRS:211773 1 3 WHEREFORE, the Petitioner respectfully requests as follows: 1. A hearing be held before an Administrative. Law Judge in Rutherford County, North Carolina; 2. That the Administrative Law Judge determine that Petitioner's rights were substantially prejudiced and that N j DENR acted erroneously or arbitrarily and capriciously; 3. That the Civil Penalty Assessment against J.S. Proctor be dismissed; I 4. In the alternative, thatithe penalty assessed against J.S. Proctor be reduced; and 5. For such other and further relief as to the Court may seem just and proper. 1 This theay of;April, 2000. ROBERTS & STEVENS, P.A. io ri William Clarke (N.

PO Box 731 Forest City NC 28043 (828) 245-5530 Dear Folks, I am an agent for the 7 S Proctor Company Employees Profit Sharing Trust (JSPCPST). Yesterday, Monday the 28`', one of your concrete trucks drove on the JSPCPST's private road in Lake Lure and proceeded to run off the road near the end of the road. This property is clearly marked "NO TRESPASSING". Jim Cole's towing service came to the scene and after much effort pulled the truck out of the ditch. The ,truck drove to the end of the road and turned around. During his drive off the JSPCPST property, the driver again ran off the road and had to be pulled out by Mr. Cole tow truck. The truck would not have needed a tow truck if the driver had kept the truck in the road. Both places the truck ran off the road had significant ruts made by the truck tires and after a rain yesterday the ruts became huge gullies and caused significant erosion. I have temporarily placed hay bales at the worst places but to permanently fix the problem I will need to hire a contractor. The estimated cost to fix this problem will be in.exgess of $2000.00. I talked to someone at the Latco office and she said she would call their insurance company. After waiting more than three hours for a call from the insurance company I decided to write this letter. Please let me know how you plan to compensate the JSPCPST for this problem. Yours truly, EXHIBIT I Jim Proctor A STATE OF NORTH C,AROLINA COUNTY OF J.S. PROCTOR CO.

Stevens, Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. The J. S. Pr ictor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan owns property located near Lake Lure in Rutherford County. The property is known as the Proctor tract. B. On or about May 24, 1999, J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan received a Notice of Violations from the Division of Land Resources for land -disturbing activity on the Proctor tract. This land -disturbing activity was in violation of the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NCGS 113A-50 to 66) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code Chapter 4. C. On or about June 22, 1999, J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan was notified by a Letter of Disapproval from the Division of Land Resources that the soil erosion and sedimentation control submitted for the land -disturbing activity on the Proctor tract project was unacceptable. D. On June 16 and June 29, 1999, in response to a citizen complaint, DWQ staff inspected the Proctor tract and observed runoff containing silt entering unnamed tributaries to Pool Creek. Pool Creek and its tributaries are Class C Tr (trout) waters of'thel tate in the Broad River Basin. E. On June 16, 1999, DWQ staff collected surface water samples from an unnamed tributary to Pi of Creek upstream of the Proctor tract and from an unnamed tributary to Pool Creek on the Proctor tract. The turbidity in the upstream sample was 3.2 Neplielometric Turbidity Units (NTU). The turbidity in the sar4ple from the Proctor tract was 120 NTU. F. On June 29, 1999, DWQ staff collected surface water samples from an unnamed tributary to Pool Creek upstream of the Proctor tract and from an unnamed. tributaryto PIool Creek downstream from the Proctor tract. The turbidity in the upstream sample was.3.4 NTU. The turbidity in the sample downstream from the Proctor tract was 38 NTU. G. The turbidity standard for trout waters is 10 NTU as set forth in 15A NCAC 2B .0211(3)(k). IN turbidity exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level cannot be increased. Compliance with the turbidity standard can be met when land management activities employ Best Management, Practices (BMPs). BMPs must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance lof such BMPs. H. The cost :to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $272.34. Based upon the abo ,e Findings of Fact; I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan is a "person "'within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan violated G.S. 143' 215.1 and 15A NCAC 2B .0211(3)(k) on June 16 and June 29, 1999 because turbidity in the unnamed tributaries to Pool Creek exceeded 10 NTU and exceeded natural background levels. J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan was not in compliance with BMPs for the land managementl activities on the Proctor tract as shown by the aforementioned letters from the Division of Land Resources. C. J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan may be assessed civil. penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides ,than a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who violates any classification, standard; limitation, or management practice established pursuant to G.S. 143- 214.1, 143-214.2 or 143-215. I 1 • .1. f. -1 D. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against J. S. Proctor Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan pursuant to G.S. 143- 215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8). I E. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of ,the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, has the authority to 'assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III. DECISION: Accordingly, J. S. Proctor hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ s3-oa o --- Company Employees' Profit Sharing Trust and Pension Plan is for one violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0211(3)(k) and G.S. 143-215.1 on June 16, 1999. for one violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0211(3)(k) and G.S. 143-215.1 on June 29, 1999.

Westall Supervisor Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department Asheville Regional Office 59 Woodfin Place Asheville NC 28801 of Environment and Natural Resources Dear Mr. Westall, Thank you for talking to me today about the Notice of Violation for a project involving the re -grading of an existing logging road on the J S Proctor Company Employees Profit Sharing Trust's property. As I told you and Roger Edwards, I am not an owner of this property. I am a local agent for the owners and I am familiar with this re -grading project. I believe the turbidity reported in the notice is much higher than the actual turbidity level on the site. Mr. Edwards told me that the upstream turbidity and the downstream turbidity samples were taken from two different streams. Because the soil types are very different in the various valleys on this property I believe the upstream turbidity would also be different for the various streams. 'I have also noticed that some streams have fallen trees (caused by a recent windstorm) next to them with exposed soil at the roots that would naturally cause more turbidity than the streams without this situation. I believe any extra turbidity from this project is moderate and'temporary. I believe that as soon as the ground cover planted along this project is established the turbidity will return to the levels it was before the re- grading project was started. If possible I would like the turbidity tested again to see if the streams are in violation. I would also like to know if any of the five other sites I notified Mr. Edwards about were inspected and/or tested.' If they were tested I would like to know the results of the tests. Did Mr. Edwards notify the Land Quality Section about these sites? If you have any questions (o20) !ne nn. ko Sincere Jim Pr please call me either at the office or at home. Mr. John' Pi J. S.
