Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the -' option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

The water sample was submitted for laboratory analysis of fecal and total coliform bacteria. Analytical results indicate the presence of fecal and total coliform bacteria in your well at 30 and 300 colony forming units per 100 milliliters (CFU/100 ml),respectively. The December 4th water sample was collected as a follow up to a sample collected on September 10, 2013, which contained concentrations of fecal and total coliform bacteria at 8 and 2,300 CFU/100 ml,respectively. The results of the September 1 Oth sampling were summarized in a letter to you dated November 15, 2013. Recall that a Biological Analysis Report completed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and provided to you with the November 15th letter, indicated that, based on the fecal and total coliform detections in the September 101h sampling,your water should not be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, or showering. Following receipt of the September 1 Oth results and based on recommendations from this office, you disinfected your well in an attempt to remove the bacteria. You and I discussed the results of the December 41h bacterial analyses via phone soon after they were received. We discussed several options for you including performing an additional well disinfection, additional water sampling to evaluate the influence of your septic system on your water quality, and evaluating the location and integrity of current and former underground piping at your home. I am available to discuss your options for addressing the bacteria detections in your well water. Additionally,the Water Quality Regional Operations Sections is willing to resample your water as you work1to address the bacteria.

An NCWRC stocking permit is necessary for pond restocking. As of July 1,2005,anyone interested in stocking inland fishing waters with fish,mollusks or crustaceans must obtain a stocking permit issued by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 1 OC .0209. The purpose of this new regulation is to protect native or legally established aquatic species from the potentially damaging effects of unauthorized stockings (Appendix 2.— 15A NCAC 1 OC .0209 Transportation of Live Fish as amended effective June 1,2005). 3. The water release structure for this dam must be designed for mid-column release during normal flows and during low flow conditions.It must also provide for low flow release to the downstream channel, including during filling of the pond. At no point should the downstream segments be dewatered by this activity. Also to help minimize temperature elevation in waters downstream,trees should be maintained along the pond perimeters,but not on the dams. Native trees(e.g.,river birch, sycamore,red maple)should be planted along the pond if trees are removed or if additional shading of the pond surface is needed. 4. Please be aware that by having impacted streams without first applying for and securing the issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification,you have violated Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)2H .0500.

After careful review and consideration of this information and the compliance record,the Division has determined that the NOV was warranted and therefore has elected not to rescind the NOV. The compliance history indicates four previous limit violations for fecal coliform where the Division chose not to issue NOVs based on specific circumstances surrounding the violations.The Division has considered the efforts undertaken by Evergreen and the Town of Canton, precipitation events, construction efforts to remediate the cause of the violations,etc.,and has chosen not to assess civil penalties to date. The Division appreciates your efforts and tenacity in addressing the fecal coliform exceedances and ensuring compliance with the subject permit.

Samples were collected at the well head and were analyzed for a host of constituents including nutrients (ammonia,total kjeldahl - nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and total phosphorous),fecal and total coliform bacteria,dissolved and total metals, chloride,fluoride,sulfate, methylene blue active substances(MBAS),total dissolved solids,and turbidity. All constituents were below the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL) or action level and the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)Title 15A 2L.0202(2L)groundwater standards with the exception of total and dissolved iron,total and dissolved manganese, and total coliform bacteria. Total iron was observed at 12,000 ug/L, dissolved iron at 11,000 ug/L,total manganese at 260 ug/L, dissolved manganese at 250 ug/L, and total coliform bacteria at 6 colony forming units(CFUs) per 100 mL. Note that fecal coliform bacteria were reported at 1 B2 CFUs,signifying their absence in the collected sample. The analytical results were provided to the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services,for a Health Risk Evaluation (HRE). Recommendations from this evaluation are attached. These recommendations state that,due to the presence of total coliform bacteria,your water should not be used for drinking or cooking unless it has been boiled for 3 minutes. The recommendations also state that,due to the presence of iron and manganese at the levels observed,the well water should not be used for drinking or cooking unless you install a water treatment system to remove those constituents. The water may be used for washing, cleaning, Continued Water Quality Regional Operations—ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Location:2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,NC 28778 Phone:(828)296-4500TAX:828 299-7043 Internet:www.ncwaterauality.ora bathing, and showering.

Based on existing data, it appears the biotic breakdown of organic material in your unlined fiber traps is creating anoxic conditions that solubilize iron and manganese oxyhydroxide minerals. Additionally, this anoxic process water appears to be recharging local groundwater; therefore, directly responsible for the occurrence of iron and possibly manganese concentrations above the North Carolina Groundwater Standard, 15A NCAC 2L .0202. Our request for additional monitoring wells will determine groundwater quality conditions at your permitted compliance boundary. In your response letter (November 21, 2013), you delayed the installation of the compliance boundary monitoring wells so that monitoring well MW-1 could be reevaluated as the sole background well. You contend that monitoring well MW-5 does not appear to provide either and up-gradient or cross-gradient reference point to the subject site nor is it in the same rock type as the other monitoring wells. You maintain that monitoring well MW-1 is in a good location and request further explanation as to why MW-1 is not an acceptable background well location. Groundwater movement across the Blue Ridge Tissue property encompasses three hydrologic zones referred to as saprolite, transition, and fractured crystalline bedrock. The groundwater Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)296-4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: ncwater.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation January 15,2014 Page 2 of 3 potentiometric map generated by AECOM (see attached map) largely depicts groundwater flow within the saprolite zone. Groundwater movement within the transition zone and crystalline bedrock has yet to be defined. The contours on the map show groundwater flowing in a radial pattern away from a knoll or groundwater recharge area near the fire sprinkler reservoir. Groundwater quality should be somewhat consistent across this recharge area. Despite some remaining questions as to the interpretation of groundwater contours north of the fiber traps, all treatment works and monitoring wells (including MW5) are located down-gradient of this recharge area. Groundwater quality north of the recharge area (MW-5) is characterized by low iron-in- groundwater concentrations, low specific conductivity, and aerobic conditions. Groundwater quality immediately south of the recharge area (MW-2 & MW-3) is characterized by high iron- in-groundwater concentrations, elevated specific conductivity, and anaerobic conditions. Groundwater quality near the Yadkin River (MW-1 & MW-4) is very similar to the south side of the recharge area; namely, high iron-in-groundwater concentrations, elevated specific conductivity, and anaerobic conditions. In your response, you attribute this discrepancy in groundwater quality to differences in lithology. The AECOM report associates monitoring well MW-5 with a schist unit north of the recharge area. Monitoring wells south of the recharge area are associated with a gneiss unit. The boundary between these two geologic units was identified using the state geologic map. Caution should be exercised in using the state geologic map for site investigations because of its j small scale (1:500,000) and lack of detail. The NC Geologic Survey also warns of possible georectification issues associated with the location of these geologic boundaries. This uncertainty is further supported by AECOM's own boring logs which associates monitoring well MW-4 with a schist rock. A more detailed site investigation is recommended before assigning specific geologic units to the monitoring wells. The Division feels strongly that monitoring well MW-5 represents the natural background concentration for iron-in-groundwater in the vicinity of the recharge area. In our experience, a natural iron-in-groundwater concentration greater than 30 mg/I would be extraordinary for western North Carolina. Background iron-in-groundwater concentrations at your former land application site (Wagner Property) are less than 1 mg/l. Our limited survey (June 2012) of drinking water wells in Patterson, NC found iron-in-groundwater concentrations ranging from non-detect to less than 1 mg/l. A groundwater study of the Morganton Area by the State of North Carolina found 85% of all drinking water wells surveyed contained iron concentrations less than 0.3 mg/l. Existing evidence suggests that a plume of anoxic water originating at the fiber traps is infiltrating all three hydrologic zones on the south side of the recharge area and extends to the Yadkin River near the production plant. Northeast/southwest trending fractures/joints/faults in the crystalline bedrock provide a likely conduit for the anoxic process water to reach areas r' farther out such as monitoring well MW-1. Monitoring well MW-1 is a poor background well --' Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation January 15,2014 Page 3 of 3 location because of its proximity to a groundwater discharge area and evidence suggesting a connection to the anoxic plume. You will be required to construct, at minimum, two down-gradient wells at the compliance boundary. You can continue to use MW-5 as the background well or select a new location that is acceptable to the Division. Initially, you will need to submit a site map depicting all applicable regulatory boundaries and any proposed monitoring well locations. Based on the origination date of your NPDES permit (1979), the compliance boundary will be established 500 feet from the waste boundary or at the property boundary, whichever is closer to the source. A groundwater review boundary is not required for this facility. Please respond to this office within 60 days of receipt of this letter. We are available to meet and discuss the groundwater monitoring requirements in greater detail. I am available if you have any additional questions or concerns.

The existing water bypass structure was not actively bypassing flow to the Bart Creek below the water intake. It should be noted that North Carolina General Statutes § 106-763 (b)requires that"[rlesidual flow in a natural watercourse below the point of water withdrawal supplying an aquaculture operation shall be sufficient to prevent destruction or serious -,diminution of downstream fishery habitat and shall be consistent with rules adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. (1993, c. 18, s.2.)" A reduction in downstream channel flows can be considered as a water quality standards violation(Removal of Best Usage.

This letter is to provide additional information and resources as discussed during this site visit. During the site visit,we discussed"maintenance of an existing structure" and the permit that is applicable for that activity. In the attached U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Nationwide Permit,the Regional General Conditions, and Water Quality Certification, you will note that the Nationwide Permit clearly states that the issuance of an approval to perform work under that Permit does not convey a right to property access. It should also be noted that the Water Quality Certification, by rule, "certifies"that the person working under that Certification is not violating the Water Quality Standards for the authorized activity, as long as the Certification conditions are being complied with. (15A NCAC 02H .0506 (a)). 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (a) Certification shall be issued where the Director determines water quality standards are met, including protection of existing uses. With regard to unauthorized excavation of streams, stream alterations which would require coverage under a Water Quality Certification, or a reduction in downstream channel flows,the Division of Water Resources views the reduction in wetted area(removal of flows), and the removal of aquatic substrate (habitat) as a water quality standards violation(Removal of Best Usage (15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2)),. 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2) [] The waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity,wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard. With respect to your desire to excavate the stream channel above the water intake,the Division of Water Resources relies on North Carolina State Universities published regional curve (please find attached) in determining the need for excavation, and by how much. In determining the appropriate channels size, the drainage area draining to the desired work area will need to be determined and then the existing channel -,..dimensions can be extrapolated from the provided graphs.

Upon review of these inspections none have been compliant. This inspection is also non-compliant for many of the same reasons as documented in the previous inspections. DWQ will work with Burke County through 2013 to gain compliance. Another inspection will be performed in 2014; if compliance is not achieved by the next inspection then this Office will move immediately toward Enforcement. Obviously the County's money would be better spent on the collection system than on fines; please ensure that the deficiencies noted below are corrected. Insufficient CIP-(I. Performance Standards#6.): Reinvestment back into the collection system is a mandatory component for any municipality. There is no indication that revenues from wastewater are being put back into the collection system. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a CIP to designate funding for reinvestment in the wastewater collection system infrastructure. It is understood that funds(not from revenues)which were previously allocated to the system have yielded positive improvements as well as enabling the County to evaluate flows into the system. It is also understood that Burke County is a receiving collection system for several municipalities and wishes to get out of the sewer transportation business. The approximate capital improvement budget for the collection system was reported as$0. Until such time that Burke County does get out of the sewer business, they will have to manage their system as the permit requires. Please ensure that sufficient monies are allocated for the collection system maintenance and improvements. Insufficient Record Keeping/Documentation-(II. Operation and Maintenance#2,#4, #7, #8.; III. Records#1.;V. Inspections#1-4): The County has to organize files specifically for documentation of the permit requirements. Please have a system set up for record keeping by the next inspection. How the County chooses to set this up can be determined by the County as long as it meets the permit requirements noted above and the inspector can glean the appropriate information from the files.

Jerry Younce with Water tech Labs and Steve Soots with Caldwell County Schools were present during the inspection. Their time and efforts are appreciated. The facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0030783. The main treatment component of this wastewater system is a buried sand filter. The main delivery components of this wastewater system are two pump stations. The influent pump station, which pumps the wastewater from the building to the septic tank, may need cleaning at the end of the school year. This pump station had some debris in the wet well and on the floats; it is suggested that school staff be reminded not to dispose of rags, feminine hygiene etc. type of products down the toilets. The effluent pump station, which pumps the treated ;wastewater to the stream, may need a light bulb for the visual alarm. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for more detailed observations and comments. If you or your staff have any questions,please call me at 828-296-4500.

Inspector met with Jerry Younce and Steve Soots; both are doing a good job and their efforts with this system are appreciated. This is an old, high maintenance system requiring plenty of attention. Because the sandfilter bed is buried, keeping this system viable is dependent on the maintenance of the septic tank and pump stations. Refer to the question section for specific suggestions.

There was some floating debris in the wet well. The county personnel stated they have spoken with the school about not flushing certain items. The floats were slightly ` caked with debris. It is suggested this pump stations residuals be monitored with a sludge judge type of device and be cleaned out as necessary or at least when the septic tank is pumped. The county is having to replace/rebuild the pumps —every other year. Keeping debris from reaching the pump station as well as maintenance and pump run time set up will help to extend the life of the pumps.

The distribution lines are the old terra cotta type and are likely leaking and not properly distributing the wastewater. It appears there is not a distribution box, only a large septic tank with chambers. Since this system is buried, the only means of determining proper operation are the effluent samples, which do indicate compliance. Disinfection -UV Yes No NA NE Are extra UV bulbs available on site? n n ■ n Are UV bulbs clean? n n n ■ Is UV intensity adequate? n n n ■ Is transmittance at or above designed level? n n n ■ Is there a backup system on site? ■ n n n Is effluent clear and free of solids? ■ n n n Comment: Extra lights are not kept onsite, which is ok since they are kept at the school or ORC maintenance building. This UV system appears to just have indicator lights and the remainder of the system is enclosed. The ORC determines if the UV system is working by Fecal Coliform samples. Since these samples are only taken twice a month, this may not be a reliable means of determining the system operations. However, the ORC has worked out a system of cleaning/replacing the bulbs to stay on top of the Fecal Coliform numbers. There is an old tablet chlorinator set up in the tank preceeding the UV building which could be used in an emergency.Although, there is not a dechlorination unit in place.

Please fix the visual alarm. The county is having to replace/rebuild the pumps —every other year. This could be an indication that the pumps are working too hard, it would be worth evaluating this pump station to see if there is a means to extend the life of the pumps. The pump station is reported as being fairly old. If this pump station were to fail, the school would be in an "emergency pump and haul situation". Page# 5 �.. /..__ \/1 �/ _.__....

Jerry Younce with Water tech Labs and Steve Soots with Caldwell County Schools were present during the inspection. Their time and efforts are appreciated. The facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0041220. However, the distribution box and lines are aged allowing leaking and improper discharge of the wastewater onto the sandfilter bed. If this is allowed to continue the sand can be compromised which, as you are aware, is a costly repair. To get the most useful life of the treatment sand, it is suggested this summer the distribution box is resealed and the distribution lines be replaced.

Overall the facility appears to be operating satisfactorily. However, the old distribution lines are not properly functioning. The wastewater should be distributed through these line and discharged over the entire area of the sandfilter bed. The sandfilter bed is the main treatment unit of the system. If the wastewater is not spread across the entire sandfilter then proper treatment is compromised. When wastewater only discharges to small areas of the sandfilter, the system can short circuit and stop working effectively. Replacement of the sand is a costly matter, therefore maintaining proper distribution of the watewater is essential. It is suggested the old terra cotta lines be replaced along with resealing the distribution box.

Box 39 Pineola, NC 28622 RE: Update on Old Jonas Ridge Road Groundwater Investigation (Avery County) Dear Mr. Carpenter, On March 19, 2013,representatives of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) met with you to discuss analytical results from a water supply well located at 726 Old Jonas Ridge Road in Avery County. The well in question continues to serve the production and drinking water needs for Vaughn's Blue Ridge Nursery:located at the same address.You were informed that a water sample collected from your well in June 2008 contained levels of dieldrin and BHC-Gamma (Lindane) above the NC groundwater standard, 15A NCAC 02L .0202.You were also notified that the Division would be conducting a limited investigation of water supply wells near the nursery.The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our findings to date. The attached map shows the locations of seven water supply wells sampled in 2013.All water samples were analyzed for lead,arsenic, nitrate, nitrite and organochlorine pesticides.Six of the water supply wells had detectable levels of nitrate below the NC groundwater standard but no pesticides were detected.The water supply well located at 730 Old Jonas Ridge Road contained the insecticide chlordane at a concentration above the NC groundwater standard. The homeowner (730 Old Jonas Ridge Road) also informed us of an agricultural hydrant on his property that is connected to your nursery production well. Permission was granted to collect a sample from the hydrant, as the homeowner indicated he had legal access to this water source. Analytical results indicate the presence of nitrate, dieldrin, and the fungicide Water Quality Regional Operations Section-Asheville Regional Office - 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)296-4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet:vNAY.nowater.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Vaughn's Blue Ridge Nursery January 27,2014 Page 2 of 3 ethazole in your production well. Concentrations are given in the table below. The following table summarizes the attached analytical results. Please note that the bolded values indicate levels above the NC Groundwater Standard, 15A NCAC 2L.0202. The results are shown in units of micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and are approximately equivalent to part per billion (ppb).

Because ethazole was not previously detected,a sample from your well head is needed to verify its actual presence in the well.A Health Risk Evaluation (HRE) was performed by toxicologists Dr. Ken Rudo and Sandy Mort with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.The HRE,which is enclosed,makes specific recommendations for use of your water based on the presence of dieldrin.With regards to the presence of ethazole,the toxicologist (Sandy Mort) verbally cautions against prolonged dermal or skin contact with water from the well. In a greenhouse environment,prolonged dermal exposure would include activities like watering and misting. The Division will keep you updated as we continue to monitor groundwater quality in this area. If you have questions concerning the HRE, please contact Dr. Ken Rudo at (919) 707- 5911. If you have questions concerning the dermal contact recommendations,please contact Sandy Mort at (919) 707-5912.

Drinking water may contain chemical contaminants which can occur naturally or be Introduced Into water from man-made sources. The chemicals found in your well were introduced from man-made shbrces. In order to evaluate your laboratory results for chemical contaminants, your water results were compared to the national primary drinking water standards or maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) (see website for basis for each MCL at httg:j/www eoa gov/safewater/contaminants/index html#mcls). MCLs are national drinking water standards that are required to be met by municipal water supplies. If an MCL was not available, your water results were compared to the North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards. Recommendations for Uses of Your Private Well Water The concentrations found In your well water do not exceed the recommended EPA levels/North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards.Therefore, your water could be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, and showering.

Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary January 27,2014 Pauline Stroup 7610 Linville Falls Hwy. Newland,NC 28657 Re: Water Supply Well Analytical Results 7610 Linville Falls Hwy. Avery County,NC Dear Ms. Stroup, Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your well located at the address referenced above on November 18, 2013. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analyses of fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, chlorinated pesticides, acid herbicides, and selected metals. No fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria,chlorinated pesticides, or acid herbicides were detected. Several naturally-occurring metals were detected in the water sample. However,no metals were detected above their Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Two metals, aluminum and iron, were detected above their EPA secondary drinking water standards. Constituents that are detected above the EPA's secondary drinking water standards may cause cosmetic or aesthetic effects such as taste, color, or odor in your drinking water,but are generally not considered a health risk. Following receipt of the finalized laboratory analytical report for the November 18th sampling, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE) of your water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Three reports were provided by Dr. Ken Rudo as part of the HRE and are attached to this letter: a Biological Analysis Report based on the fecal and total coliform analyses; an Organic Chemical Analysis Report based on the chlorinated pesticide and acid herbicide analyses; and an Inorganic Chemical Analysis Report based on the metals analysis. The Biological Analysis Report and the Organic Chemical Analysis Report indicate your water can be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, and showering. The Inorganic Chemical Analysis Report indicates your water can be used for drinking, cooking, washing, cleaning, bathing, and showering, but that based on the metals analysis, aesthetic problems with the water may occur. If you have any questions regarding the reports,please contact Dr. Rudo at(919) 707-5911.

Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary January 27, 2014 Jack Wiseman Sr. 201 Bowman Road Newland,NC 28657 Re: Water Supply Well Analytical Results 201 Bowman Road Avery County,NC Dear Mr. Wiseman, Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your well located at the address referenced above on November 18, 2013. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analyses of fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, chlorinated pesticides, and selected metals. No fecal coliform bacteria, total coliform bacteria, or chlorinated pesticides were detected. Several naturally-occurring metals were detected in the water sample. However,no metals were detected above their Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Two metals, aluminum and iron,were detected above their EPA secondary drinking water standards. Constituents that are detected above the EPA's secondary drinking water standards may cause cosmetic or aesthetic effects such as taste, color, or odor in your drinking water, but are generally not considered a health risk. Following receipt of the fmalized laboratory analytical report for the November 18th sampling, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE) of your water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Three reports were provided by Dr. Ken Rudo as part of the HRE and are attached to this letter: a Biological Analysis Report based on the fecal and total coliform analyses; an Organic Chemical Analysis Report based on the chlorinated pesticide analysis; and an Inorganic Chemical Analysis Report based on the metals analysis. The Biological Analysis Report and the Organic Chemical Analysis Report indicate your water can be used for drinking, cooking,washing dishes,bathing, and showering. The Inorganic Chemical Analysis Report indicates your water can be used for drinking cooking, washing,cleaning,bathing, and showering,but that based on the metals WATER QUALITY REGIONAL OPERATIONS SECTION North Carolina Division of Water Resources—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)2964500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: h2o.enr.state.nc.us An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Jack Wiseman Sr. January 27,2014 Page 2 of 2 _ analysis, aesthetic problems with the water may occur.

Drinking water may contain chemical contaminants which can occur naturally or be Introduced into water from man-made sources. The chemicals found in your well were introduced from man-made sources. In order to evaluate your laboratory results for chemical contaminants, your water results were compared to the national primary drinking water standards or maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) (see website for basis for each MCL at httg; ww .e a. y/sal water_fcantaminant finde ml cis}. MCLs are national drinking water standards that are required to be met by municipal water supplies. If an MCL was not available, your water results were compared to the North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards. Recommendations for Uses of Your Private Well Water � The concentrations found in your well water do not exceed the recommended F-PA levels/North m Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards. Therefore, your water could be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, and showering. Resampling is not needed. Contaminant concentrations found in your well water are higher than the EPA recommended levels for drinking and cooking. These contaminants include Your well water should not be used for drinking or cooking. If you have been drinking the well water and are pregnant, nursing, or have a child under 5 years of age, inform your physician of the results. Because of the low levels, very little absorption of these chemicals is expected through intact skin. However, raving open wounds or burns could result in a greater absorption of these chemicals. Therefore, if you have open wounds or burns on your skin, limit showering and bathing time to under 5 minutes. Because of the high levels, absorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin. Therefore, limit showering and bathing time to 5 to io minutes, —� Because of the very high levels, significant absorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin. Therefore, this water should itot be used for showering and bathing. �.�..,You may want to purchase a water treatment device, drill a new well that is distantly located from the groundwater contamination, use bottled water, or connect to a public water supply. Resampling is recommended in months.

Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary January 27,2014 Jack Wiseman Jr. 350 Hidden Meadows Lane Newland,NC 28657 Re: Water Supply Well Analytical Results 350 Hidden Meadows Lane Avery County,NC Dear Mr. Wiseman, Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your well located at the address referenced above on November 18,2013. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analyses of fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, chlorinated pesticides, and selected metals. No fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, or chlorinated pesticides were detected. Several naturally-occurring metals were detected in the water sample. However, no metals were detected above their Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). Following receipt of the finalized laboratory analytical report for the November 18th sampling, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE)of your water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Three reports were provided by Dr. Ken Rudo as part of the HRE and are attached to this letter: a Biological Analysis Report based on the fecal and total coliform analyses; an Organic Chemical Analysis Report based on the chlorinated pesticide analysis; and an Inorganic Chemical Analysis Report based on the metals analysis. The reports indicate your water can be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes,bathing,and showering. If you have any questions regarding the reports,please contact Dr. Rudo at(919) 707-5911. \ WATER QUALITY REGIONAL OPERATIONS SECTION North Carolina Division of Water Resources—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)296.4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: h2o.enr.state.nc.us An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Jack Wisman Jr. January 27, 2014 Page 2 of 2 If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828) 296-4684.

Skvada, III Governor Director Secretary January 28, 2014 Jeff Church Caldwell County Schools 1914 Hickory Blvd Lenoir,NC 28645 SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection Gateway Alternate School WWTP Permit No: NCO041157 Caldwell County Dear Mr. Church: On January 15, 2014, I conducted a Compliance Sampling Inspection of the Gateway School wastewater facility. The facility was marginally compliant with permit NC0041157. There are areas that need to be addressed for compliance to be achieved. Two areas specifically need immediate attention. There appears to be an illicit discharge draining to a gutter drain. At the corner of the white brick building (Picture 1) a small (-2") pipe was draining water from inside the building into a black corrugated roof drain extension pipe which was discharging onto the driveway. This pipe needs to be connected to the adjacent sewer drain, also seen in the picture. The next area that needs immediate attention is the flow of storm water onto the septic tank (Picture 2). There have recently been improvements made to storm water flows alongside the sand filter bed. However, the storm water flows draining from the driveway, roof drain and other impervious areas uphill of the septic tank continue to drain onto the septic tank. Perhaps a berm can be installed alongside the driveway to direct storm flows into the wooded area near the bottom. Once these repairs are made, please contact me so we can discuss the possibility of changing this permit. Gateway is currently under an Individual NPDES wastewater permit. It is possible that this school can go under a General NPDES wastewater permit. A General permit would save the school annual fees, as well as operation cost. Upon discussions with Steve Soots, it is reported that the school only functions for—50 students (and staff) and has a daily flows of less than 1,000 gallons. If this remains the intended use of this facility, it may be worth considering this change of permits. Another money saving item to this change would be flows could be directed back to the original discharge location; therefore the pump station associated with this system would no longer be needed. I have attached an application and the General permit for your consideration. Again please contact me to discuss this option.

The pipe discharging water from inside the white brick building to the gutter drain needs to be directed to the sewer system. There is a significant amount of stormwater flows that are flowing onto/into the septic tank. These flows need to be redirected. The lid to the distribution box and possibly the distribution lines need to be evaluated for replacement. (Note to file: email January 17, 2014, between Charles Weaver and Linda Wiggs) Caldwell County Schools should consider the money saving option of going to a NCG550000 permit. Applicability of the system: existing single pass discharging less than 1,000 gallons per day. Treatment system includes septic tank, sandfilter, disinfection, dechlorination and step/cascade discharge. The system also has a pump station as a result of increased flows decades ago. This pump station is high maintenance and cost. The pump station would no longer be necessary under the NCG550000 permit; discharge to the adjacent stream could resume. The Gateway school does not operate a kitchen and has —50 students and staff. Later date discussions with Steve Soots revealed well record flows from 2012-2013 indicate that daily flows for this facility are <1,000 gallons. A water leak during February 2012 was the exception. Effluent Sample Results: Fecal Coliform - 1 colony/100ml TSS - <6.2 mg/I BOD -<2 mg/I ; Page# 2 Permit: NCO041157 Owner-Facility: Gateway Alternate School Inspection Date: 01/15/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling Operations &Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ n n n Does the facility analyze process control parameters,for ex: MLSS, WRT,Settleable Solids, pH, DO,Sludge n n ■ n Judge, and other that are applicable? Comment: The overall facility is well kept. Recently stormwater flows were redirected away from the sandfilter bed along newly installed swales. However, there are still stormwater flows getting to this system from the paved area uphill of the septic tank. This has to be fixed. The school needs to evaluate the best method of diverting the stormwater flow away from the septic tank. Another item that has to be fixed is an illicit discharge located at the corner of the white brick building. A pipe (from a sink?) is coming from the building that should have been tied into the sewerline but has been tied into the black gutter drain. Septic Tank Yes No NA NE (If pumps are used)Is an audible and visual alarm operational? n n ■ n Is septic tank pumped on a schedule? ■ n n n Are pumps or syphons operating properly? n n ■ n Are high and low water alarms operating properly? n n ■ n Comment: Suggest checking the solids level in the septic tank on a regular basis. The old concrete lids are very heavy and brittle so caution should be exercised. See above: excessive stormwater is flowing onto and likely into the septic tank. Sand Filters(Low rate) Yes No NA NE (If pumps are used)Is an audible and visible alarm Present and operational? n n ■ n Is the distribution box level and watertight? n ■ n n Is sand filter free of ponding? ■ n n n Is the sand filter effluent re-circulated at a valid ratio? n n ■ n #Is the sand filter surface free of algae or excessive vegetation? ■ n n n #Is the sand filter effluent re-circulated at a valid ratio?(Approximately 3 to 1) n n ■ n Comment: The lid on the distribution box has decayed to a point that when it is lifted it will likely crumble. This lid is no longer water tight and needs replacing. The distribution lines are aged terra cotta lines. It is possible these lines are doing an inadequate job of dispersing the wastewater over the sand bed. On the day of the inspection it did not appear that there was isolated ponding; however, the sandbed had just been raked making a proper evaluation difficult. If it is found that inadequate distribution of the wastewater is taking place then replacement of the lines should be considered.

Therefore, the PS was not properly evaluated. Upon research through the Central Office, it was derermined this PS was installed in the early 80s due to an increase in the permitted flow from 0.03 to 0.04 MGD. Prior to this PS the system discharged to the adjacent stream. Effluent Pipe Yes No NA NE Page# 4 Permit: NCO041157 Owner-Facility: Gateway Alternate School Inspection Date: 01/15/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling / Effluent Pipe Yes No NA NE Is right of way to the outfall properly maintained? n n n Are the receiving water free of foam other than trace amounts and other debris? n n n If effluent (diffuser pipes are required) are they operating properly? n n ■ n Comment: As noted above, there are two discharge systems for this facility. One is a cascade with a discharge pipe to the adjacent stream, the other is a pump station with a force main to another stream - 1 mile away. The cascade and discharge pipe to the adjacent stream were evaluated and are in good shape. See summary regarding a change of permits and resumed discharge to adjacent stream.

Associate Vice President, Water Division Black&Veatch International Company Suite 24010715 David Taylor Drive Charlotte, NC 28262 Subject:Disposal options for biosolids (residual) City of Morganton Wastewater Treatment Facility Burke County, NC Dear Mr. Lackey, The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has explored the disposal options available for the biosolids recently found at the subject facility. Our goal was to make every effort to identify affordable disposal options that comply with applicable regulations. In examining these options, it seems the disposal options are limited and although the emplacement date is unknown, current regulations for residual disposal would apply. Applicable regulations may be found in 15A NCAC 2T.1100. For the 2000 cubic yards of biosolids to be excavated to stabilize the slope, disposal in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T is required which would include disposal utilizing one of the following: 1. Landfill, 2. Off-site land application via a Class B permit, 3. Process through the Class A distribution of residual solids permit WQ0002127, 4. On-site disposal at a different location via a surface disposal permit or, 5.

For the biosolids remaining in place following slope stability operations: 1. Conduct a limited groundwater assessment to determine if the biosolids have impacted groundwater.The Division will be available to review a workplan for this effort to assist if requested. If groundwater is not impacted, no further action will be required. If groundwater is impacted,the Division will require that a compliance boundary be established pursuant to 15A NCAC 2L.0107 through the existing NPDES permit. Groundwater monitoring would be required to determine compliance with 15A NCAC 2L. Groundwater monitoring requirements would then be added to the existing NPDES permit.Violations of groundwater quality at the compliance boundary would need to be addressed pursuant to 15A NCAC 2L.0106. 2. Excavate and dispose of pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T. The Division fully acknowledges that the City of Morganton is expending significant funds toward upgrades to the wastewater plant infrastructure. With these costs and the related SOC timeline, addressing the biosolids can be accomplished on a variable timeline. We are available to discuss these issues. Please contact me when you have had a chance to review these ' options. I can be reached at bev.price@ncdenr.gov or at (828) 296-4685.
