Dear Mr. Cottom:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are
forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This final permit includes Daily Maximum limits for ammonia nitrogen at the 0.9 MGD flow. Theselimits were added to comply
with an EPA requirement that the Division implement daily maximum NH3 las NJ limits for non -municipal facilities, as required
by the Code of Federal Regulations. The daily maximum value is five times the monthly average value (this multiplier was
established based on a review of treatment capability at various non -municipal plants). Daily maximum values are capped at 35.0
mg/L
Also note that your facility must justify the need for specific design flows prior to a request for flow expansion.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the
right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be
in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 15011 of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office
of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or
revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management
Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit,
please contact Charles Weaver at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 511.

Rusty Trammel, Owner of Water Quality Services in Banner Elk, NC,
contacted me about permit #NC0058891, Valley Creek WWTP located on Seven
Devils in Watauga County. He said that the renewal applications and all
other correspondence for this plant had been going to Mr. Mark Harrill.
Mr. Harrill is not the permit holder for this permit. Mr. Harrill owns
another WWTP on Seven Devils that Mr. Trammel operates as well. I
looked on Filemaker Pro, and Mr. Harrill is in fact listed as the permit
holder for Valley Creek WWTP. This information should be:
Leonard Cottom

How can we go about getting this information corrected? Mr. Cottom is
not receiving any correspondence until it goes through Mr. Harrill and

DIV.OF � FCE QUALITY
DIRECTOR'S
As the chairman and on behalf of the Watauga River Conservation
Partners chapter of the Western North Carolina Alliance I want to express
to you our concerns about Waste Water Treatment Plants in Avery and
Watauga counties all of which discharge into the Watauga River directly
or through tributaries. The permits we are concerned about are as follows:

Watauga County

Seven Devils
NPDES Permit Number NC0032166, Appalachian State University - Camp
Broadstone, University Hall, Boone
We are aware of past records of all of the above and their violations,
which we have reviewed, covering a five year period. 0ur knowledge and
review provides the following observationswith particular concern about
four of the W.W.T.P.s:
1) #NC0042358, Adams Apple. Adams Apple appears to be at full capacity
with limited access for discharge. Its age and limitations make it a
questionable plant for continued use based upon our members personal
and regular observance. There appears to have been occurrences of
discharges not fisTly reported to the DWQ.
2) 9CNC0022730, Beech Mountain -Grassy Gap. Grassy Gap and the other W.W.T.P.
operated by the Town of Beech Mountain are under moratorium because of
the many many problems with these plants and the lines to them. They
continue to require very careful monitoring and limits on their permits
until reconstruction and improvements may be made all of which are very
costly. Grassy Gap and Pond Creek (#NC0069761) have often been sub-
ject to serious inflow and infiltration due to rain and snow and to the
fluctuations of population by seasons. Grassy Gap and Pond Creek have and the
most significant number of serious violations and "spills" of any of the
WWTPs in the area over recent years (at times almost monthly).

- 2 -
3) 4/NC0058891, Seven Devils Resort. The problems here are some shared with
Hawksnest. Both received permitted increases in output in 1996 when they
were last repermitted. The previous permit was for 0.02 MGD and was in-
creased to 0.12 MGD (+600%). An anticipated number of residential units
in the vicinity of this plant has not occurred. The Town of Seven Devils
has developed a Land Use Management Plan and adopted new regulations
which provide for less density and at the same time turned down a plan
for a very large development. The owner has withdrawn the tanks brought on
site for expansion and has no plans to do so. You have in your records
a petition regarding the previous increased capacity which was opposed by
many residents of Seven Devils and Foscoe who have found problems with the
current facility and particularly any expansion. More recently you have a
latter from the Seven Devils Resort Club (December, 2000) in reference to
this. This is an old plant, not fenced, over: which many have serious
concerns looking to the future. They question its MGD permited capacity
and its viability.
4) #6NC0058891, Hawksnest Utilities - Valley Creek. The increase in permit-
ed capacity in 1996 from 0.01 to 0.90 MGD also seemed excessive. The
ski slope was closed last winter so the volume of useage was greatly
curtailed. There are no plans in this area at this time for any large
residential or other construction which would warrant a 0.90 MGD capa-
city (which is a large as the biggest plant serving the Town of Beech
Mountain). In the past this plant has had spills for some reasons similar
to Beech Mountain and the provious Basinwide study, in particular cited
concerns of what the golf course and ski area were doing to Valley Creek.
The most recent Watauga River Basinwide study we believe confirms
our assessment that the Watauga River, and especially in these recent and
continuing drought years, is not a viable source for increased discharge
from plant which are too many, too old, unreliable and subject to inflow
and infiltration.
We request in the repermitting process that the Environmental
Management Commission move very carefully and deliberately in their review
making all the considerations a part of the process necessary before grant-
ing the permits with which we are concerned.
As we may be of any assistance or help please do advise us. We
appreciate your attention to our submission.
Sincerely,

Deaf' Mr. Harrill:
On December 8, 2000, the Division of Water Quality assessed a civil penalty of $1,068.00, including
$68.00 in enforcement costs, against Seven Devils W'V1'P, formerly know as Hawksnest Utilitiies WWI'P
in violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and the subject permit, by discharging waste into the waters of the
State in violation of permit conditions. The assessment was sent via certified mail to Seven Devils
WWTP, formerly know as Hawksnest Utilities WWTP and was accompanied by a list of available
options that included: Payment of the penalty, request for remission of the penalty, or request for an
administrative hearing. If more than thirty (30) days has since elapsed after the receipt of a civil penalty
assessment and there has been no action to exercise one of the three options cited above, then North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A(g) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources to request the Attorney General to institute a civil action in Superior Court to recover'
the amount of the assessment. Records from our Division reveal that the assessment document was
delivered on December 11, 2000. To date, no response on behalf of the subject facility for the above
enforcement case gas been received.
This letter serves final notice that the Division will proceed to refer your case to the North Carolina
Attorney General's Office for collection through the courts unless payment in the amount of $1,068.00 is
received by April 18, 2002
Should you have any questions, please contact Marcia Liebe: at 919/733-5083, extension 530.
