Dear Siying Chen,
The proposed new wastewater treatment plant in Edneyville is a poorly conceived plan particularly given the fact
that there is a sound alternative that is much more sustainable and cost effective. I am especially upset that that this
plan does not consider at all the impacts to Clear Creek, which is already degraded. We need to restore our creeks
not pollute them.
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --
connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the County's most rural
areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources have been of the highest concern to the
public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those
concerns.
I do not support this permit in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.
Sincerely,
Allison Perrett

Dear Siying Chen,
Please help our already struggling Clear Creek! Please do not make it worse! This is not necessary!!! This

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --
connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the County's most rural
areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources have been of the highest concern to the
public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those
concerns.
I do not support this permit in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.

dedicating to a more secure system even during heavy rain events. Let's make this a future of cleaner water not more
contaminates in Clear Creek.
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --
connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the County's most rural
areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources have been of the highest concern to the
public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those
concerns.
I do not support this permit in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.
Sincerely,

Finally, this treatment plant specifically violates the Henderson County 2020 Comprehensive Plan which Henderson
County is still operating under. The Comp Plan specifically prevents building major infrastructure, such as sewer
and water, in rural communities which would inspire massive growth and destroy the agricultural community and
sensitive wildlife habitats.

If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --
connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the County's most rural
areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources have been of the highest concern to the
public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those
concerns.
I do not support this permit in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.

Dear Siying Chen,
Re: Henderson County -Clear Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Permit
Draft NPDES Permit No. NCO090247
1/30/24
Greetings,
I am writing to you to request strongly that the Clear Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) not be granted
permit(s) to build.
I am a property owner in Henderson County, North Carolina whose property runs directly along Clear Creek near
Townsend Rd and Laural Branch. The building of this plant will negatively impact my property, the adjacent
properties, and continue to compromise the aquatic habitat of Clear Creek.
According to the Clean Water Act, North Carolina prohibits "issuing an NPDES permit that would authorize a new
discharge into a stream that is already impaired without first preparing an analysis showing that the discharge will
not further impair water quality." hUs://mountaintrue.org/call-on-the-deq-and-henderson-county-to-restore-and-
nrotect-the-health-of-clear-creek/ North Carolina needs to first clean up Clear Creek before issuing this permit.
Not having the proper tests done and analyzed BEFORE issuing this permit would be illegal. In addition, it would
not be prudent on the part of the county and state by possibly costing more money to both entities and continue to
pollute Clear Creek. FIRST CLEAN UP CLEAR CREEK.
To reiterate, I DO NOT want the Clear Creek WWTP project to be granted a permit until ALL proper analyses/ tests
are done according to the Clean Water Act and Clear Creek is cleaned up. The NC Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) must hold up the Clean Water Act and NOT grant a permit. There are other options which are more
environmentally safe and economically sensible without using the Clear Creek area. One such option is using the
already current facility operated by the City of Hendersonville.
Thank you for your time and consideration of these critical issues.
Regards,
Jayne Prestwood Crown

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural areae of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --

Dear Siying Chen,
1 /25/24
To whom it may concern,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you because my family owns a piece of property in Hendersonville
and it has come to our attention that there has been a request for Permit No. NCO090247 which is part of an
expansion of a sewer system near our property. I respectfully request you consider not granting this permit. I've
read the comprehensive plan 2045 for the county and I believe that this sewer expansion project is part of that. I am
a high school biology teacher in Columbia, South Carolina and I am by no means a city developer or engineer, but
what I understand about the sewer expansion project is that a treatment plant will be stationed very close to our
property and sewer lines will be run along clear creek. I do not want this to happen. Our property has been in our
family for over 120 years. Over one hundred acres was originally purchased by Asbury Prestwood (my great, great
grandfather) around 1900 as a place to raise a family and farm for a living. As the family grew, the land was
subdivided. Many of my Prestwood relatives are still permanent residents on pieces of the original property. My
immediate family owns 17 acres and the original farmhouse which is on the National Register of Historic Places
(HN 1237) and mentioned on page 15 of the Environmental Assessment of Clear Creek Sewer System. I don't
believe my great, great grandfather ever envisioned his descendants having to live or vacation near a building or
pipes that treat raw sewage. And I certainly don't prefer my own children and future descendants playing,
exploring, and possibly living near a sewer treatment plant. In addition, there were several endangered and
threatened species listed that may be impacted by this plan. I understand some haven't been observed in recent
years but I am curious about the details of these field studies. How often are these lands checked for these species?
Anyone who has explored nature knows that big problems can arise for an area if you disturb the biodiversity of that
ecosystem. Unintended consequences could occur and cause devastation. I appreciate all of the efforts that have
clearly gone into solving the water treatment issues in Edneyville and the surrounding areas. I agree with the
statements about "alternative #2-connection to the City of Hendersonville water system" being a viable option for
the current issues. This may take more creativity and money but I don't doubt the well-intentioned group of
developers can figure out a solution that does not require using beautiful and tranquil farmland that contains
historical (and still livable) architecture. Please uphold the Clean Water Act.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Lindsay Purdy

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
Henderson County is long past the days of "'development at any cost." I recognize that with development, we bring
more amenities to the County, and in particular to some rural areas. But I don't want to see already -degraded lands
and streams further compromised by the mushrooming of isolated wastewater treatment plants every time someone
wants to put a new development in place. We need to build the appropriate infrastructure FIRST, and let
development follow, in an orderly manner.
Let's not fool ourselves that we can let this happen "this time" and it will be an isolated incident. The same
approach is being tried in Etowah, even though we have an existing sewer system.
Instead, let's use the 2045 Comprehensive Plan, which was based on the desires of the people who already live here,
to guide our future development in a way that makes the County even more attractive to people and to wildlife.
Denying this permit would be one step in the right direction.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Martha Rollefson

Dear Siying Chen,
DEQ must uphold the Clean Water Act by denying a permit that would allow the County to further pollute an
already impaired waterway. Instead, Henderson County should work with the City of Hendersonville to connect
Edneyville to the City's existing sewer lines and wastewater treatment plant. Additionally, Henderson County
should adopt a Comprehensive Plan that discourages sprawl and protects the rural character and water quality of
Edneyville and other county communities.This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear

connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the County's most rural
areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources have been of the highest concern to the
public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those
concerns. The Commissioners continue to avoid responsibility for stewardship of Henderson County. Refusing to
set clear limits and set goals for conserving natural resources for the good of the County as a whole, sprawl, loss of
resources, loss of tourism, and loss of agricultural heritage are the inevitable consequences.
I do not support this permit in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.

Dear Siying Chen,
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project
(NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit.
If DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater treatment plant in a
rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek, which is already listed as impaired on the
state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in
place for addressing the current impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit
would violate the Clean Water Act.
Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective treatment option available --
connecting to the existing sewer system operated by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted
for the costs of operating and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue
this permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.

Dear Siying Chen,
I vehemently oppose the Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Project Draft Permit (NPDES Permit NCO090247) and
I adamantly request that DEQ deny the permit!
Not only is there the added pollution to consider (which should be a primary concern to everyone) -- but it's a clear
violation of the Clean Water Act that will no doubt result in litigation, and will wind up costing Henderson County
taxpayers a great deal.

I live directly across clear creek from the proposed treatment plant location. My concern is that during flooding
which happens regularly along this creek, what damages the filling of the bottomland of the proposed site will cause
to my pastureland on the other side. During the flood about 3 weeks ago. The current and depth of the flood waters
at and above the proposed site were strong enough to wash a pile of huge saw logs around 18" to 24"diameter and
about 14 feet or more in length all the way down to the bridge. One of the logs remains lodged in the trees in the
creek. This depth and current concern me as that is a huge amount of water to redirect onto my property. There
has been no efforts to protect any adjacent properties to this location. I respectfully ask that this location be
removed from consideration

Good Afternoon,
My name is Adam Pressley, and my family is located in the Edneyville, NC area of Henderson
County. We have been on our family farm since 1926. 1 am a fourth generation farmer, as well as
hold down a full time job off the farm. The next generation, my kids, who will be the 5th generation,
are growing up on our farm and are involved in the daily operations of the farm. They are learning
the importance of where food is grown, the hard yet rewarding work it takes to get from a seed to a
marketable product, and the obligation to be good stewards of the land, as it is our most valuable
resource to feed an increasing population. They are involved in 4-H and our farm leads an equine
group for the local 4-H club. Pressley Farms is a small, family farm focused on specialty fruits and
produce, with a goal of continuing to advance and invest in our farming operation. We have a few
horses and other pets that roam with us on the farm and love to watch us work. I hope this provides
you with some perspective as you read the following words.
The purpose of my correspondence is to voice my opposition to the proposed sewer line for the
Edneyville and Fruitland areas. I am in contact on a regular basis with many people throughout these
areas and I have yet to get a positive response from anyone when I ask how they feel about the
proposed project, farmer or not. Further, as a farmer, I can see no benefit whatsoever for the
agriculture and agritourism industries by adding a sewer line. On the contrary, I have no doubt that
it would lead to loss of farmland and an increase in permanent land development. The rural areas of
our county are what attract people to live here, understandably. I am a native to the area and have
obviously seen change occur over the years. I see farmland being developed for houses, solar farms,
and other permanent development. That land will never convert back to being farmland. I think we
need to preserve land that is in active agriculture use, and adding a sewer line will do the exact
opposite. It was stated in last nights' meeting that the county has already lost 2,000 acres of
farmland within the past few months alone.
The proposed "need" for the sewer line is based on some failing package plants located within the
community. Namely, one at Camp Judea, one at the Justus Academy, and for a private, gated,
housing development known as Blacksmith Run. Taking Blacksmith Run, for example, why should it
become taxpayers burden to fund a solution for this neighborhood? The developer or engineering
firm who developed the package plant don't bear any responsibility for the performance and
maintenance of the existing treatment plant? Or the capacity of it? Keep in mind, this neighborhood
isn't that old. Why is their package plant, less than 20 years old, now supposedly failing? I ask again,
why should that become a problem that the taxpayers must fund a solution for?
Another point I'd like to make is that Camp Judea, as busy as it is, with as many campers as it has in
season, is likely generating quite a bit of revenue. Can they not take care of their own sewer
issues? I am responsible for managing a business with several assets. When an asset has reached its
life expectancy, am I allowed to come to a government agency and ask that they be responsible for
replacing it and maintaining it, since, after all, I made the initial investment for that asset in the first
place? I would venture to say that would not go over in my favor. Its kind of like buying a car, and
then saying, "ok well I made the first payment, somebody else needs to pay for the rest of it, and for
the insurance, and for the maintenance on it for the remainder of its life." I made the decision to
buy it, I want to enjoy the benefits it has to offer, but I want somebody else to deal with all the

problems and figure out and pay for any needed solutions going forward.
I am simply asking you to relate the proposed "need" for this sewer line project to that of any other
private business and how it must be managed. "Need" is a perspective, and in this case, is being
justified by those who will reap the benefits without any sacrifice being made on their part.
The rest of the community suffers as we lose our rural character and strong agricultural heritage. As
Chuck McGrady stated last night, there will be no more Apple Country, as it will be sold out farm by
farm. I, for one, am tired of hearing the comments about "development is coming, it cant be
stopped" We may not be able to stop it, but adding a sewer line to the Edneyville and Fruitland
communities will only roll out the red carpet to developers (who have no ties or cares to our
communities) who will make millions, ravage the land and squeeze out what resources they can, and
leave, with no regard for the future of our communities or our county. It was stated in the
Commissioners meeting held at the Justus Academy November 16th 2022 that where the sewer line
goes, development follows.
More development will create a need for additional resources in our Fire, EMS, and law enforcement
agencies, which is already strained. Adding to that, our roads and other infrastructure are already
crowded with traffic given just the current population of the area.
I have environmental concerns about a wastewater treatment plant dumping into Clear Creek, or
really any creek or body of water in our community. If the body of water that is proposed is already
impaired, how then is it legal for more wastewater to be dumped in? Further, we have been flood
prone in the area (s) where the treatment plant is proposed. What happens when that treatment
plant becomes submerged with water? How will land owners downstream be notified and possibly
compensated for any potential damages that this might create? Who is responsible for it? I also
wonder when the Division of Water Quality checks the water and finds a high rate of toxicity, taking
out aquatic life, etc., what happens then? I can tell you the basic answer. They note the variance
and tell the responsible party you have 30 days to correct it. Meanwhile, our creek is being
contaminated. This is a creek that I, along with my siblings, children, and many other Edneyville and
Fruitland residents enjoy tubing down and playing in. My understanding is that it also gets stocked
with fish, and we are now being told that it will no longer be stocked if the treatment plant dumps in
to it. Clear Creek is a fun, recreational creek for many in the community. It needs to stay that way.
Our county and our residents, including those who have built the Edneyville and Fruitland
communities are a strong, hardworking, determined group of people. We care about our
community and what happens to it, and we go to bat when we need to for it. I am doing my part by
writing you this letter so that you will know how I feel. My opinions are aligned with many, many
people in our community, both young and old. I have urged them to voice their concerns just as I am
doing. Hopefully they will.
In closing, I do want to thank you again for your service to our State and hope you will decline the
permit, in an effort to protect the character and uniqueness of our communities. I appreciate your
time and for considering my perspective.
Respectfully,
Adam Pressley

To whom it concerns,
My name is Christopher Weilbacher and I reside at 406 Prestwood Lane, Hendersonville,
North Carolina 28792.
With this letter, I am submitting my vehement opposition to the construction of the waste
water treatment plant proposed to dump "treated" effluent into Clear Creek. Our area of
Henderson County is known as Apple Country and is the number one producer of apples in
North Carolina. The annual Apple Festival is one of the largest family events in North
Carolina and brings in over 250,000 attendees. The surface water from Clear Creek is used to
irrigate the orchards, agriculture and horticulture grown within Apple Country. According to
the 2018 Irrigation and Water Management Survey, more than half of all water applied as
irrigation came from surface water with the remaining water obtained from groundwater
sources.
It is imperative the surface water drawn from the creek is of the highest quality and not tainted
with the exponential increase of fecal particulates and toxic chemicals discharged into Clear
Creek by the proposed Waste Water Treatment Plant. If the plant is constructed, as proposed,
it is only a matter of time before our apples will be harvested with fecal contamination and
toxins absorbed into flesh of the fruit. The ensuing recall of tainted apples would be
devastating to our community. The subsequent legal action would elevate the cost of the
sewage plant from the least expensive to the most expensive option of the application.
Clearly, water pollution caused by fecal contamination is a serious problem due to the
potential for contracting diseases from pathogens. Frequently, concentrations of pathogens
from fecal contamination are small with numbers of possible pathogens. As a result, it is not
practical to test for pathogens in every water sample collected, as frequent tests would not be
cost effective for the financial management of the plant. Therefore, it would be impossible for
the plant to guarantee the safe discharge of the water without damaging the natural ecosystem.
This unsafe discharge would additionally lead to increased risk illness for children playing,
fishing and enjoying Clear Creek.
Lastly, the photos below are of the proposed location of the sewage plant taken on January 9,
2024. These pictures clearly show the vast amount of flooding at the proposed location after a
regular and not uncommon rain event. I obtained these photos and two video's showing the
proposed location and they contain geotagged with time and date information for verification
if litigation to stop the plant is needed.

Please deny this application for the health and safety of our community, our livelihood and for
the enjoyment of future generations with the understanding that approval of this application
will lead to costly and unending litigation.

January 21, 2024
To: NC Division of Water Resources
As a property owner and lifetime resident near the proposed wastewater treatment facility, I am opposed
to a new sewer plant on Clear Creek. I am hoping that the comments from myself and others that are
opposed to a new sewer plant on Clear Creek do not fall on deaf ears in Raleigh, since a local County
Commissioner has publicly stated that he is 99.9% sure that the state will issue the permit.
So is this an example of tension, ego or control between the City of Hendersonville and County
commissioners? Is there unwillingness to work together for the best interest of the citizens and
Taxpayers of Henderson County? Connecting to an existing treatment plant owned by the City of
Hendersonville or construction of a New facility Owned and Operated by the County?
The City already has a treatment facility that could be utilized and would be more cost effective and
environmentally friendly. The proposal of a $21 million new facility when you have an
existing facility does not make sense.
Is the decision for a new county owned wastewater treatment plant to spur residential development in a
farming community and increase the tax base? It is evident that with extended sewer services will come
urban sprawl. What or who is influencing this decision?
Some that are pushing for a new wastewater treatment site and sewer system have indicated it
would help the North Carolina Justice Academy and the Edneyville Elementary School. These properties
are owned or leased by the county or state. Have these sites been proposed for the location of a new
wastewater treatment facility? Do these sites have issues now? Why would there be a need to purchase
property for a new site if there is a possibility of utilizing sites that are already owned by the county. It
appears a small vocal group is influencing the decision and location. Has the proposed site already been
purchased and upgraded prior to approval by the state?
A partnership with the city of Hendersonville would be in the best interest of everyone.
As I mentioned earlier, one county commissioner has stated it is a done deal. He indicated he is 99.9%
sure. So I hope that the public hearing and the public comments will be reviewed and a decision made
based on what those that live in the community would like to have done.
Thank You,

Ms. Chen,
I am writing to voice my opposition to approval of NPDES Wastewater Discharge Permit
#NC0090247.
I attended the Public Hearing on the proposal held at the North Henderson High School on Feb. 5,
2024. Based upon the information shared at the hearing, and additional details provided online, it
appears some important points are yet to be adequately considered, among them:
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. The proposal seeks to allow discharge into a stream cited as being
impaired. To permit such an increase in effluent there (200,000 to 500,000 gallons per day) under
that designation seems both counter -intuitive, and as noted at the hearing, possibly contrary to law.
Additionally, Clear Creek is listed as a hatchery -supported trout stream; what effects on that status
would result from the potential new effluent? Possible impacts on local aesthetics (i.e., visual
presence of infrastructure) and nearby air quality (odors) likewise call the current proposal into
question.
EXCEEDING THE NEED? Existing nearby wastewater facilities (at the NC Justice Academy, Edneyville
Elementary School, Camp Judaea, and Blacksmith Run subdivision) are being cited as the impetus for
constructing the treatment plant. However, unless the current, combined volume of effluent
generation from the four sites approaches 200,000 gpd, added capacity is being baked into the
permit proposal. But excess capacity, to what end? What are the specific, wider development
assumptions being made which provide the basis for construction of the plant, and resulting volume
of effluent discharge?
POOR TIMING. Henderson County is still in the process of crafting its 2045 Comprehensive Plan.
During the past months, multiple amendments to the plan drafts have resulted in sometimes
significant amendments —among them, the geographic extents of an all -new "Utilities Service Area"
which potentially encompass the discharge site, and the Future Land Use Map for the immediate
area, intended as the basis for deciding future use, form, and density. With these crucial planning
components yet to be finalized, approval of the discharge permit —and the treatment plant —
potentially represents a "thumb on the scales" favoring development, over local residents'
expressed interest in retaining existing the rural, agricultural character.
At the least, consideration of permit approval —and treatment facility capacity —must be postponed
until after the Henderson County 2045 Comprehensive Plan is approved, and enacted.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments.

Good afternoon!
This message is to formally oppose the Draft Permit related to the Clear Creek Wastewater
Treatment Project (NPDES Permit NCO090247) and to request that DEQ deny the permit. If
DEQ issues this permit, it will result in the construction of a new unnecessary wastewater
treatment plant in a rural area of Henderson County and a new discharge into Clear Creek,
which is already listed as impaired on the state's 303(d) list of impaired streams. A new source
of pollution is cause for concern, and since there is no plan in place for addressing the current
impaired status with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), issuing this permit would violate
the Clean Water Act. Additionally, there is a more environmentally sound and reasonably
cost-effective treatment option available -- connecting to the existing sewer system operated
by the City of Hendersonville — and the County has not accounted for the costs of operating
and maintaining a new wastewater treatment plant for years to come. DEQ can not issue this
permit if a more environmentally sound and reasonably cost-effective option is available.
Through Henderson County's 2045 Comprehensive Plan development period, growth in the
County's most rural areas, loss of farmland and open space, and impacts to natural resources
have been of the highest concern to the public. A new wastewater discharge on an impaired
stream in a rural part of the County runs counter to those concerns. I do not support this permit
in my community, and DEQ should deny the permit.
Thank you!

Re: Henderson County -Clear Creek WWTP Permit (NPDES Permit # NC 0090247)
Greetings,
In preparation for the public hearing on Feb 5th in Hendersonville about the draft permit for the facility to
discharge wastewater into Clear Creek, we submit the following concerns.
Our property in Henderson County, originally one 100-acre tract, has been in our family since before the
Civil War. Our 35- acre agricultural field, bordered by Clear Creek, is income producing for 4 families.
This field is adjacent to (across the Laurel Branch) from the proposed wastewater treatment plant site.
The location of this field and several of our residences is between Laurel Branch and Clear Creek.
This field often floods during heavy rains but with proper management, drains off into Laurel Branch and
then into Clear Creek within a few hours, and the crops survive. The proposed site will interrupt this flow
and cause permanent flooding. Apparently, Clear Creek is already classified as environmentally unsound
The proposed wastewater treatment plant site floods as well (see photos) but because it is situated at the
lower end where Laurel Branch and Clear Creek intersect, the water backs up there for longer periods.
Changing the land levels by putting in this facility will increase our flooding and ruin our crops. The
proposed facility itself will no doubt suffer from this site's tendency to flood on a regular basis.
Laying pipes along Clear Creek will compromise its banks and increase flooding. Any leakages of the
pipes will contaminate the water tables that supply our wells.
A recent local newspaper article quoted our County Commissioner sewer engineer, Liaison to the Board
of Commissioners, Bill Lapsley, as saying the proposed permit is "99.9% a done deal". Several recent
improvements to the proposed property make one wonder if this could be true. The owner of the
proposed treatment plant site, Mr. Pittillo, blocked, unannounced and unnecessarily, his neighbors'
agricultural access to Highway 64 East which has been open for decades. He has widened and graded
the proposed wastewater treatment plant site road significantly and, in the process, built up his side of the
Laurel Branch tributary to ensure that any flooding will occur on our and the neighbors' properties instead
of on his. Mr. Pittillo owns much of the agricultural property along Clear Creek between the proposed
treatment plant site and the proposed starting point of the pipes in Edneyville. If an individual can make all
of these unilateral alterations and "improvements", what defense do any of us, the residents, have against
the County or State? We question; Has the property already been purchased? If so, how was the site
selected? Were any other sites reviewed? Is there an alternative site? Who made the decision for the
site?
Mr. Pittillo's daughter, Linda Pittillo Bradley, joined the planning committee reportedly to fill a vacancy.
Her membership on the County Planning Board is a significant conflict of interest. She has stated, notably
in 2019, that her family may sell all of their land and put in subdivisions. Many of the Board members, are
in construction businesses and pose conflicts of interest regarding benefitting financially if these plans go
through. David Hill is a land surveyor.
Please consider, or reconsider, the following alternative sites for the wastewater treatment site:
1. Current facility operated by the City of Hendersonville. This option would be less expensive. They
already have a permit and many years of experience.

2. In the area around North Henderson High School at the intersection of Highway 64 East and Fruitland
Road. This location will be easier to access than Pittillo's flooded site and therefore, cost less. This site
would not disrupt the properties around the proposed site or the miles of multiple agricultural fields along
Clear Creek.
Please consider laying the pipes along Highway 64 East which is 2-laned and is being considered for
renovations and expansion in the near future.
We respectfully request that NPDES Permit # 0090247 be denied, as it is not in the best interest of our
community or Henderson County as a whole.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
See 2 attached photos of the flooded proposed site taken 2 weeks ago.
Sincerely,
Harry & Deborah Lewis

I have lived in Western North Carolina for 32 years. I did not move here to live next to a
wastewater treatment plant. I live less than a mile from the proposed site on an adjacent
property and can see the site from my home.
Please do not waste your time and money or ours, or our neighbors', by attempting to build the
proposed station. The environmental groups such as Mountain True, with whom I and many
others agree, are going to tie up your project in the courts for many more years and you will
have accomplished nothing.
The infrastructure is already in place to resolve the ongoing problem. It is the existing plant in
Hendersonville. Water from the City was installed out here, outside of the city limits, along the
highway, in the early 2000s.
Please just make the decision now to go ahead and start planning and starting the installation of
the sewer pipes along Highway 64 East needed to serve the Edneyville community, with the
existing Hendersonville plant.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Harry Lewis

My name is Isaac Jones. Me and my family own property in the proposed Clear
creek sewer project. The land has been in my family for almost 120 years. That
is where multiple generations of my family have been born, raised, lived and
farmed until they passed away. I have lived here all of my 42 years but my time
at NC State and Fort Bragg with the 82nd Airborne serving this country in Iraq
and Afghanistan in the early 2000s. My family are locals .. and have heritage
and and history in Frutland area.
I would like to thank you for taking time to come to Hendersonville and hear from
citizens in person. I hope that the words and the emails of the people living in the area
are heard and taken into consideration. And that the words from one of our county
commissioners that " it is a 99.9% a done deal" was not him speaking for your board but
was just political gamesmanship to discourage opposition.
The permit application speaks of a "need". Are county commissioners and the planning
board of Henderson County in a position to make an objective decision on that? There
are multiple conflicts of interest on the commissioners and the planning board. Including
some of them working in construction. A member of the planning board owning the land
that the proposed sewage treatment plant will be on and service most of their property.
To a commissioner who owns a civil engineering firm that is doing a lot of the
preliminary work. And that is just what I know about. Can they be truly objective in their
decision making on this matter?
The permit application references multiple failing sewage treatment plants and septic
systems in the area. Is that truly the case ? How much investigation was done to establish
that ? How much would it cost to repair or refurbish those existing systems ? Is that even
tax payers burden ? That actually makes a case for NOT having all of the sewage
consolidated in one spot. Making it more probable for a catastrophic failure. Failures like
the news reported on during the floods we had less than a month ago in Henderson and
Buncombe county. A possible failure like the City of Hendersonville may have happened
back in October. Where the city was observed applying what looks to be a drying agent
to drainage leading in to Mud Creek ( I will attach my personal pictures. )

The proposed wastewater treatment plant site is in a " 100 year flood zone" . I tend to
disagree with that 100 years. I have lived and farmed on Clear Creek over 90 % my life
and so has my father and great grandfather. Clear Creek floods our bottom land once a
year on average. some years more than once. In January we had one of the larger floods
actually flooding the site for the WWTP. Also the county was considering passing a
Resolution that would allow owners of flood from land to apply to fill in part of their
flood prone land which will make floods even worse. Changing what the actual flood
level elevation is along the waterways all over the county. Years down the road it seems
highly likely that with all of that sewage in one place on a flood prone creek. That a
major ecological disaster would be imminent.. Also almost the entire population of the
Clear creek valley is on private well water for their drinking water. Mine and many of
my close neighbors wells are the approximate depth as Clear Creek. A leaky pipe or a
failure at the sewage treatment plant could lead to tens of thousands of citizens having
contaminated drinking water. Who will those affected get to hold accountable? The
county ? Or the state for approving the permit ? How long do they have to clean it up?
Who gets fined ? It is pretty hard for private citizens to sue and win against the county or
the state and at a great cost to those citizens that most would never even try.
The permit area is 163 acres. All of that land is currently owned by multiple privately
property owners. 3 acers of it being owned buy myself. And mostly farmland, that some
citizens rely on for a primary form of income. It seems as if the county is acting like they
already own the land and could do with it as they wish in their permit application and the
commissioners comments of " it is 99.9% a done deal". Do they already have some
"arrangements" with some property owners ? The county has not contacted or reached
out to Myself and 5 other property owners that I have spoken to.
There have already been instances of trespassing by the surveyors hired by the county.
After being given specific instructions not to trespass verbally and posted signs, there are
markings on a wetland they had no access to. If the county does not respect the private
property rights of its citizens now, how can we expect them to respect our private
property rights when they take a right of way across our land? How can we hold
accountable ?
Also concerned about the expansion of sewer service to a majority agricultural
area will create more urban sprawl and the loss of green space. Sewer service
would Effectively price Farmers out of their own communities. Last week the NC
Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, said "the state needs to do more to preserve
farmland now." In an article on WRAL websight h!Ws://www.wral.com/story/troxler-nc-
farms-under-threat-from-rapid-growth/21263685/ The county has said they can
"control that with zoning" Will they ? Zoning is only as good as the people behind

it. How objective is the zoning, and planning board and commissioners when the
majority of them work in construction or own land that will be serviced by or have
the WWTP on it? And will the new members of those board adhere to that
ideology ?
In the permit there are some alternatives listed, one of them being to do nothing. Which
may with a combination of repairing the failing systems be a legitimate and proper
answer.
The two others would require the county join with Hendersonville and create a unified
sewer system which was voted on by the county commissioners and the city of
Hendersonville over a year ago . But with the county continuing to pursue the
construction of a wastewater treatment plant may mean those negotiations are not going
as the county would have wished. This is just another example of the dysfunction
between the city of Hendersonville and the county. Is the county building a wastewater
treatment plant and creating its own department at the cost of 2 1 + million to the
taxpayers just a way for the county to strengthen their position in any negotiations
with the city?
Another alternative was to take the gravity feed pipe all the way down Clear Creek and
attach it to the city's existing system behind North Henderson High School but was ruled
out because of the extra cost. I'm not sure the pipe would cost more than building an
entire sewage treatment plant and the long term cost of maintenance and manning of the
sewage treatment plant. Or maybe it's because the Creek it's not a direct route and you
have to deal with many more property owners when getting easements and they may not
be as cooperative as a few of the property owners seem to already be for the current
proposal.
The last alternative was to use a pressurized system going down Hwy. 64 to Wolf Pen
housing development and connecting to the city system there. But that was not really
spoken much of in the proposal . And seems to be the best alternative if the "need" for
the system is truly justified . The county already has a right away along the road because
of the water line along Hwy. 64. The county's reluctance to use a pressurized system is a
mute point when they already have pressurized pipes in their proposed system.
My personal alternative is for the county and the city to work together to make the areas
of Henderson County that already have sewer service more efficient. Filling the gaps in
the system that currently exist making the urban areas of Henderson county more

efficient and the rural and agricultural areas can stay rural and agricultural for as long as
they can.
In conclusion, does the county "need" the sewer system? Or do they "want" it so they
can develop that area and increase the tax base for the ever increasing county budget ?
Or gain leverage in their decades long bickering with the city of Hendersonville ? The
overwhelming majority of people I spoke to oppose the expansion of sewer service into
Edneyville especially if it involves a WWTP on Clear Creek. The very few people I
know support it because it will make their property values go up to sell for development.
Thankyou for your time and consideration.
