Public Comments received:
One comment requested a public hearing for more information on the permit. All of the permit application
information they requested was given to them electronically. A second comment expressed concern for the
effect on the Tuckaseegee river and thought this was a new permit issuance rather than a renewal. They were
concerned about the amount of limit violations that the plant owner has faced. The regional office also showed
concern for the amount of monitoring violations but recommended to keep limits at current levels.

Subject: RE: Permit Peer Review
Hi Andrew,
Good work overall! I just have a few comments:
• For the violation problem, might want to check with the region to see if they have any concerns with this facility
regarding those violations, and record them in the fact sheet
• For the date on cover letter, put the public notice date you're gonna send it on (next one is 7/11)
• Add stream index and sub -basin number and update HUC code in supplement to permit cover sheet
• For the effluent table, adjust the column width so the words are not on different line (see "measurement
frequency' and "instantaneous")
• The formatting of this part seems a little weird, you can check the EP condition library for the current version

[G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]

prograin reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became

NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections withii
permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Perwits):
• Section B. Signatory Requirements
[11.)
• Section D. Reporting
The facility doesn't have ammonia limit, probably due to the large dilution, but you can still run it through
the E9 WLA worksheet and include it in the fact sheet package. I'm actually not sure why it doesn't have
ammonia monitoring, but browsing the previous permit files might help, or you can check with John or
Charles.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Siying,
Attached are the files for NCO088765 to look over when you get a chance. The facility has a bunch of violations, but
everything else about the limits in the permits looks good, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Good Afternoon Folks,
I wanted to share my concerns about the RV that will discharge the treated wastewater into the Tuck River. I
am on the Planning Board for the county and have been involved with similar projects.
I think a public hearing should be held to provide the public with additional information such as the quality of
the water that will be discharged (Ph, Temp, oxygen levels, and acceptable contaminant levels), the frequency it
will be tested and how the local county officials plan to enforce this.
I suspect your team has answers to many of these questions already; however, allowing the community to
participate and learn about this project would be in the best interest of all of us.
Thank you,
Nathan Shepherd

Hello again,
Thank you for clarifying. My confusion came from the fact that there is a parcel in Tuckasegee, which also adjoins the
Tuckasegee River, that Mr Smith recently purchased and has told the community it will also be an RV resort. But not yet,
apparently.
Thank you for your consideration!

Also, just to clear up confusion, this permit is for the renewal of the existing Tuckaseegee RV resort at 78 Wilmont Rd in
Whittier, NC which I believe you are talking about, rather than the construction of a new facility. Please let me know if
you have any further questions.

> Hello Mr Friedman Herring,
> I am writing to object to the permit NCO088765 associated with dumping human wastewater into the Tuckasegee River
in Jackson County. This land where the Tuckasegee RV Resort is proposed to lie is an established Cherokee settlement
site that unfortunately has not been protected, but it should be respected and not used as a site where the River water
will be contaminated potentially. The tuckasegee river is a hatchery for native rainbow trout, and any violations in the
future, even accidental ones, could damage the breeding ground for this critical species. Wayne Smith is known in our
community to cut corners and evade proper procedures in order to benefit himself financially or otherwise. It is my
understanding that his Whittier RV resort has documented violations, therefore he cannot be trusted to respect the
natural environment in our county.

Hello Andrew,
In reviewing the most recent Compliance Inspection Report for the facility, I did not see any issues or violations noted. Although the number of eDMR
violations is a concern, I would not recommend any changes to the permit in light of this.
In reviewing the attached documents, I did notice that the factsheet summary heading on the second page includes incorrect facility information. Also, the
most recent inspection report states that the updated permit should add tablet chlorination and dechlorination.
Thanks so much,

Hello Mara/Maureen,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 83A821E6-4046-4B91-9C9A-7EC663D69D8F
I have been drafting the permit for Tuckaseegee RV Resort (NC0088765) in Jackson County and wanted to send you the draft files for review before
sending it out for public comment on 7/25. This facility has had many violations (25-ish) in the past 5 years and was enforced on twice. Is there anything
should change about the permit to take that into consideration? Thanks so much.
