Subject: Permit Revoked For Failure to Pay Annual Permit Fees
Closed -Loop Recycle Permit
Permit WQ0005577
Wood Creek Flume
Haywood County
The subject permit has been revoked for failure to pay annual permit fees. Because these fees
were not paid the action was taken to revoke the subject permit, pursuant to Title 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code 2T.0110 and North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1(b). North
Carolina General Statutes IA. Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a party that cannot with due
diligence be served by personal delivery, registered or certified mail, or by a designated delivery
service authorized pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7502(0(2) may be served by publication. Service of
process by publication shall consist of publishing a notice of service of process by publication once a
week for three successive weeks in a newspaper that is qualified for legal advertising in accordance
with G.S. 1-597 and G.S. 1-598 and circulated in the area where the party to be served is believed by
the serving party to be located, or if there is no reliable information concerning the location of the
party then in a newspaper circulated in the county where the action is pending.
The owner could not be contacted and the revocation was by public notice. A notice was run in
the Asheville Citizen Times on March 17, 2013, March 24, 2013, and March 31, 2013 with no
response received by the Division. These facilities have been closed and the permit owner could
not be located.

Recycle Wastewater System
Wood Creek Flume (Gem Mine)
Haywood County, N. C.
Ann B. Orr
Regional Manager
Mr. Thomas Branson Wood has made application for a non -discharge
permit for operation of the Wood Creek Flume (Gem Mine) in Haywood
County to serve the tourist trade in Maggie Valley. The process
wastewater treatment and recycle system was found on July 25, 1991,
to have been constructed and placed in operation. Observations
indicated that the system will perform satisfactorily, however, as
noted during this visit, management appeared intensive to
replace/clean the collection and settling unit (1/2, 250 gallon
baffled drum). The Plan of Operation attached to the original plan
submittal (copy attached) appear to address ARO concerns in this
area. The area used for disposal of sediment in the drum (property
owned by the applicant) was satisfactory to prevent wastewater from
re-entering surface waters. As no additives are used in this process,
no groundwater contamination is expected.
With proper operation, the system should satisfy the needs of the
gem mine and serve ARO regulatory concerns. It is recommended that a
non -discharge permit be issued for this project. A condition should be
added to provide for best management of the system at all times
complete with daily operation records (date/time makeup water added or
sediment basin cleaned and by whom).

Haywood County
Dear Mr. Wood:
As result of an investigation conducted July 25, 1991, by Max L.
Haner of this office, Wood. Creek (Gem Mine) located southwest and
adjacent to Willis Cove Road in the Newfound section of Haywood County
(near Canton, N.C.) was found to have constructed a wastewater treatment
and recycle system to serve its fl-t-ime line type mining operation for
tourists. Subsequent information made <a.vai I able to this office on
Monday, August 12, 1991, indicates that this flume line and treatment
system has been since placed in operation. As you were verbally advised
in conversation with Mr. Haner on July 25, 1991, this letter will
formally notify you that these activities (construction and/or operation
of a wastewater treatment and recycle system) without permit from this
agency is a violation of North Carolina General Statute (NCGS)
143-215.1(a)(2), subject to enforcement provisions of NCGS 143-215.6A
(copy enclosed). This letter also will serve as written notice that you
should immediately suspend any such activities making use of the
wastewater treatment system until a proper Non -Discharge Permit can be
i s 0�ed. The Non -Discharge Permit Regulation (Title 15, North Carolina
Administrative Code 2H .0200) and support-ing permit application forms
were given you by Mr. Haner during the July 25, 1991 visit. You should
submit these completed application forms and engineering plans and
specifications to initiate the permit process.

regard and prior to final preparation, I am requesting that you and your
representatives meet with Forrest Westall and Max Haner in this office at
11 AM on Tuesday, August 20, 1991, to discuss this matter and demonstrate
why enforcement action should not be taken. If this.meeting time or date
is inconvenient, please advise so that it may be rescheduled. We look
