Box 2049 Banner Elk, North Carolina 28604 AWA NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance Permit No. NC0032115 Banner Elk WWTP Avery County Dear Mr. Clark: 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). Please be advised that the Division of Water Quality has received comments from Richard S. DeMott, Chair of the Watauga River Conservation Partners. That association is "concerned about the large number of wastewater treatment plants discharging into the Watauga River or its tributaries and the impact these have immediately and over a period of time". The Division of Water Quality requires you to be diligent in your plant operations and maintenance. Furthermore, the Division urges you to anticipate future needs by planning for wastewater improvements. For example, be advised that the Division of Water Quality is in the process of implementing weekly average ammonia limits into municipal NPDES permits. Acceptable limits for your facility would be 13.5 mg/L during the summer months and 35.0 mg/L during the winter months. Compliance with all terms and conditions of the attached permit is the responsibility of the Permittee. Please note that T15A 08G .0204 of the North Carolina Administrative Code has been interpreted to mean that the Operator in Responsible Charge is responsible for operation of water pollution control systems. 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.

OF WATER DIRECTOR'S OFFICE QUALITY 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 permitswe are concerned about are as follows: Avery County NPDES Permit Number NC0032115, Town of Banner Elk NPDES Permit Number NC0022900, Carolina Water Service - Sugar Mountain NPDES Permit Number NC0042358, Adams Apple Condominiums, Banner Elk Watauga County NPDES Permit Number NPDES Permit Number NPDES Permit Number NPDES Permit Number Seven Devils NPDES Permit Number NC0032166, Broadstone, University Hall, NC0022730, NC0032123, NC0035149, NC0058891, Beech Mountain, Town of - Grassy Gap WWTP Carolina Water Service - Hound Ears WWTP Seven Devils Resort, (Seven Devils), Boone Hawknest Utilities - Valley Creek WWTP, Appalachian State University - Camp 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 observations with 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 fully reported to the DWQ. 2) #NC0022730, 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 (MC0069761) 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) #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 9., 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) #NC0058891, 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, Richard A.
