It looks like you've greased the skids already on this one, so getting the permit rescinded should be pretty easy. I'll put my thoughts down, and Charles can supplement or correct what I say As far as process goes, we would want Mr. Clark to provide us with a brief statement requesting the permit:be resinded, simply to have a request documented. If he could add a sentence explaining that he has installed a new onsite system to serve the home, and therefore general permit coverage is no longer needed, that would also be helpful as justification for the rescission decision. He can send us a letter requesting rescission of the permit, but I believe an email to Charles would suffice. Once we receive that, we'll ask you to confirm the circumstances and agree the permit can be rescinded. If you want to go ahead and send Charles that note, that could further expedite the process. When we have the rescission request and the regional office's recommendation, Mr. Clark will be formally notified that the permit has been rescinded. In short, we just need a few items to document the rescission action. You've already done the hard work, shepherding the situation to this point. The rest will probably take less time than it took for me to type this message. Charles, please chime in if I've erred in my statements. Please call or reply if you have any questions.

Box 1402 Candler, NC 28715 SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling NOV-2016-PC-0044 Sams Branch Road Site Permit No: NCG550465 Buncombe County Dear Mr. Clark: DECEIVED JUN 2 4 2016 CENTRAL FILES DWR SECTION Governor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director On April 19, 2016, I conducted compliance sampling of the subject wastewater treatment system. The compliance sampling was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective actions you have taken in response to the subject Notice of Violation, issued February 11, 2016. Due to the minimal effluent flow, and the orientation of your effluent pipe, the effluent sample was collected from a hole excavated on a sand bar within South Hominy Creek directly below the effluent pipe. The effluent sample was analyzed for biochemical oxygen demand and fecal coliform bacteria. The analyzed parameters have daily maximum limits in the subject permit, which are included in the table below. The results are as follows: Parameter Date Limit Value Result Limit Type Biochemical Oxygen 4/19/2016 45.0 mg/1 150 mg/l Daily Demand Maximum Fecal Coliform Bacteria 4/19/2016 400/100 ml 6,000/100 ml Daily Maximum The effluent sample results indicate the corrective actions implemented, as of the time of effluent sample collection, did not bring your effluent water quality into compliance with permit requirements. If you have not already done so, it is recommended that you contact Buncombe County Environmental Health to determine whether a traditional septic system can be installed on your property.

The follow-up effluent sampling was conducted to evaluate the status and effectiveness of the corrective actions taken in response to the Notice of Violation. Note that the water sample collected February 2nd was collected from an unpermitted discharge from the system as the effluent pipe was buried. Following receipt of the abovementioned NOV, Mr. Clark dug out the effluent pipe, which was in the vicinity of the previously observed unpermitted discharge. Due to the orientation of the effluent pipe, we were unable to collect the sample directly from the effluent pipe. Rather, we dug a hole in the alluvium below the effluent pipe in order to allow an adequate volume of effluent to collect. The effluent sample was collected from the pool and analyzed for biochemical oxygen demand and fecal coliform bacteria. Biochemical oxygen demand was detected at 150 milligrams per liter (mg/1) with a permit limit of 45 mg/I. Fecal coliform bacteria were detected at 6,000 colony forming units per 100 milliliters (CFU/100 ml) with a permit limit daily maximum of 400 CFU/100 MI.

VAN DER VAART Secretary 1 S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director T� N FEB 16 Mb CENTRAL- FILES pNJR SECTION On January 29, 2016, Andrew Moore from the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject wastewater treatment system. During the inspection.a white liquid discharge was observed emanating from the streambank and entering South Hominy Creek. The effluent pipe could not be located at the time of the inspection. On February 2, 2016, Andrew Moore returned and collected a water sample of the discharge. The water sample was analyzed for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and fecal coliform bacteria. The analyzed parameters have daily maximum limits in the subject permit. However, the daily limits are applicable solely to the effluent discharging from the permitted outfall and are only included for reference. The results are as follows: Parameter Date Limit Value Result Limit Type Biochemical Oxygen 2/2/2016 45.0 mg/1 260 mg/1 Daily Demand Maximum Total Suspended Solids 2/2/2016 45.0 mg/1 81 mg/1 Daily Maximum Fecal Coliform Bacteria 2/2/2016 400/100 ml 4,100/100 ml Daily Maximum The water sample results indicate that wastewater is circumventing the wastewater treatment system and discharging directly to the stream channel.

Illegal Discharge of Waste to Waters — North Carolina General Statute (hereby known as G.S.) 143- 215.1(a)(6) requires that no person shall cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner intermix with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned classifications or in violation of any effluent standards or limitations established for any point source, unless allowed as a condition of any permit, special order or other appropriate instrument issued or entered into by the Commission under the provision of the Article. To prevent further action, you must address the illegal discharge. This office recommends the following course of action: 1. Evaluate and assess the system to determine whether the system can be brought into compliance. Note that it is not permissible to alter, extend, or change the construction or method of operation of any sewer system in the State without the appropriate permit. 2. If you determine that the system cannot be brought into compliance, contact Buncombe County Environmental Health to determine whether a traditional septic system can be installed on your property. 3. If you cannot address the illegal discharge via 1 or 2 above, you will be required to replace your wastewater treatment system. The permit requires that systems replaced after August 1, 2007, must meet the requirements for new systems. Please respond in writing to this office to the address noted in the footer by March 15, 2016. The response should summarize the course of action you plan to take to address the violation and an anticipated schedule. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Andrew Moore at 828-296-4684. Sincerely, G.

The Clark's were contacted via phone prior to the inspection. The permittee was not present at the time of the inspection. However, Mr. Clark's father, who lives in a separate residence on the same parcel, was present. The septic tank was reportedly pumped three years ago. No signs of system failure were observed in the area of the sand filter. While looking for the effluent pipe, I observed a white, foul-smelling, liquid emanating from the stream bank in the area I would anticipate the effluent pipe being located. The effluent pipe was never located. I returned 2/2/2016 to collected a sample of the discharge for analysis of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), fecal coliform bacteria, and total suspended solids (TSS). See 2/2/2016 inspection report.
