Dear Mr. Green:
Thank your for sending me a copy of the Town of Andrews sewage collection system
map prepared by Cherokee County. The County did a fine job of taking the NCONEMAP data
and producing a good starter collection system map. I have discussed with Trevor Lovin,
Cherokee County GIS Coordinator, where we go from here. Trevor indicates a willingness to
help the Town further. if you will, ask Red and Sammy to locate all manholes and missing sewers
on one of your paper copies, then the County could incorporate that new information into the
map. I encourage you to keep this project moving along.
Sincerely,
Roy Davis

1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
Approximately 1600 linear feet of Unnamed Tributary to White Oak Creek (Class
C-Trout waters within the Broad River Basin) has been impacted from the
deposition of sediment. Sediment accumulation in the stream channels range
from 6 to 48 inches deep. These impacts from sedimentation within the stream
channels occurred from the construction/development at this site.
2. The duration and gravity of the violations;
On 4/11/08, 4/18/08, 8/4/08, 9/10/08, and 11/21/08, DWQ staff conducted site
inspections and observed impacts to approximately 1600 linear feet of stream
from sedimentation.
a Turbidity violations were observed by.DWQ on 4/29/08, 9/10/08.
a DLR has an Enforcement action in Raleigh against developer.
a' Downstream landowner and DLR have been dealing with Chocolate Drop
Mountain prior to D.WQ involvement
3. The effect on surface water quality;
Impacts from sedimentation within the stream channel occurred from the
construction/development at this site. Sediment accumulation in the stream ranged
from 6 to 48 inches deep. Consequently, the riffle pools, streambed substrate, and
respective habitat available for aquatic life had been blanketed/covered by sediment.
It should be noted that sediment and turbidity can impact surface waters through
several ways, including: (1) Scouring or physical abrasion of the stream channel that
influences aquatic biota(primary producers, periphyton, and heterotrophic

decomposers); (2) Clogging of fish gills which are critical for respiration; (3)
Sediment loading results in the increased cost to treat drinking water, degrades
wildlife habitats, decreases water storage in reservoirs, increases the cost of culvert
and bridge maintenance (which results in an increased frequency of dredging and
flooding); (4) Increased turbidity can restrict light from the water column thus
inhibiting photosynthesis for plant growth and reproduction.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost for rectifying the damage to the environment is difficult to determine. The
main costs would be related to the removal of sediment and restoration of the stream
channel and the lake, the repair of the riparian areas, and if necessary lake water
filtration to remove suspended solids. The cost associated with damage to the
aquatic habitat is unknown. Owners Consultant has been informed of necessary
restoration activities required as noted in May 27, 2008 response to NOV.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The failure to implement and/or maintain proper sediment controls represent
expenses that were avoided during the construction/development at this site. The
dollar amount is unknown.
6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
There is no evidence to suggest that the impacts were committed willfully or
intentionally,but rather due to sediment mismanagement issues relating to the
construction/development at this site. However,the ongoing problems at this site are
a concern. DLR is requiring Geotechnical Evaluations of Chocolate Drop Mountain
due to landslide concerns.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
DLR has Enforcement Case against developer.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Dear Mr. Rabenau:
On December 19, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received additional information
that had been requested in order to continue the application' review process for the subject
project: '. The DWQ has determined that your application and additional information is
insufficient to make an agency determination. Therefore, we are returning your application
as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. In order for your project to be;
reviewed in the future, you must submit a complete application along with the appropriate
processing fee, including, but not limited to:
1. Additional Information item'(L) requested cross-section detail drawings of the installed
culverts. The additional information response referred to the originally submitted Pre-
Construction Notification attachments. Upon review of the attachments, no plan drawings
were provided. Plan drawings of the as-built conditions of these culverts must be
submitted.
2. Additional Information item (2.) requested building envelopes for all lots. The additional
information response uses generic calculations without any form of protective mechanism
to prevent the built out development from exceeding the impervious area requirements.
You must either provide a protective mechanism, which would limit the impervious areas

3. Additional Information item (5.) requested a detailed mitigation plan. The submitted
mitigation plan does not comply with the_published mitigation guidelines. Anecdotal
information suggests that the stream segments offered for enhancement have had their
buffers removed as part of this project. It is not appropriate to offer such enhancement for
mitigation, but should be offered as restoration of a Water Supply Watershed buffer.
Should any restoration or enhancement area not provide the required 30-foot vegetated
buffer on both sides of the stream it shall not be suitable for mitigation credits. You must
resubmit and recalculate the mitigation requirements for this project and provide a plan,
which meets the published mitigation requirements.
4. Additional Information item(6.)requested details for the off line pond and intake-structure.
The submitted two photographs provide no details for this intake or pond. Additionally, as
the intake structure was taking all of the flow from the stream and diverting it through the
pond(leavingba dry stream bed) during the November 19, 2008 site visit,this structure must
be modified for (upon approval of impacts) and a minimum flow plan developed for this

Inspection Summary:
In response to a self-reported, off-site sediment loss event, DWQ staff visited the site with DLR and Buncombe County
Erosion Control personnel. Mr.Shawn Bertrand was present. The site was found to have multiple, significant sediment
and erosion control compliance issues. Numerous slope failures had occurred, most disturbed areas had not been
stabilized, sediment was prevalent thoughout project site roadways, a large detention basin was holding significant
sediment and was not being maintained and a large basin had failed leading to in-stream sediment impacts of
approximately 2,000 feet in length.
Due to time constraints, not all elements of the NCG01 inspection were conducted (i.e., records review).

noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an Upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset

- Dear Mr. Kilpatrick:
A review has been conducted of the Etowah Sewer Company's Collection System self
reported Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) 5-Day Report. This review has shown the
Etowah Sewer Company to be in violation of the requirements found in North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1). The violation is summarized below:
NOV# Violation Location Violation
Date Type
NOV-2009-DV-0001 12/12/2008 WWTP Lift Station Discharge
Without Valid
Permit
The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement action for this and any
additional violations of State law. You should take remedial action in response to this
incident. Remedial action should include identification of the cause of the SSOs and
implementation of all measures necessary to prevent recurrence. Prior to the passage
of fifteen days following receipt of this Notice please submit a letter detailing the steps
that have been or will be taken by the Etowah Sewer Company to improve the
operation of it's influent pump station.

Internet:wwwncwaterquality.org FAX [phone]

The Division of Water Quality views with great concern repetitive SSOs at the same
location. Over the last four years Etowah Sewer Company has had approximately nine
SSOs originating from the lift station preceding the wastewater treatment plant. You
should inform the governing board of the Etowah Sewer Company that it needs to
finance a project leading to providing a reliable pump station. The board members also
need to be made aware that the General Statutes provide Civil Penalties of up to
$25,000 per day for illegal discharges to the state's surface waters. To be acceptable
your fifteen day response letter needs to indicate the board's commitment to resolving
this problem and details of the nature of that resolution.
If you have any questions regarding this NOV or our policy relating to issuance of NOVs
or Civil Penalties for SSOs, please contact Roy Davis at 828-296-4659.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Outfall Sewer Project

Dear Mr. Barth:
It is my understanding that the Town of Maggie Valley has the opportunity to seek
funding to assist in the construction of a gravity sewer which would allow the
abandonment of the old Villa L'Abri sewage pumping station. I am in favor of such a
project and encourage the Town to pursue funding. The Villa L'Abri station is badly
deteriorated and in need of replacement. It makes much better sense to me to replace
the station with a gravity line. Access to a station for purposes of operations and
maintenance, whatever its condition, is difficult in winter given the steepness of the
mountain side roads leading to the station.
wish the Town success in its endeavors to replace the Villa L'Abri sewage
pumping station. Should I be able to assist in this matter, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Roy M. avis

This month's DMR had no effluent flow rate reported. After speaking to the operator, it was apparent that
this mechanical failure of the unit was due to lightning. The Division of Water Quality expects notification
of any process unit failure that renders the facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, or
situations, which may cause the facility to become noncompliant with its permit.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem. Since the comments section on
the reverse of the relevant DMR provided an adequate explanation for the subject violation, it is not requested that a
response be submitted: however,should you have additional information concerning the violations or comments which you

Subject: Illegal Discharge of Sewage
Asbury Road
Buncombe County
Dear Sirs and Madams:
In the 1940s a private sewer line was constructed down Asbury Road providing
sewer service to homes along Asbury until the mid 1990s when the City of Asheville
constructed a new sewer line down the middle of the street. The City also provided
individual clean-outs, connected to the new sewer, for the use of each homeowner on
Asbury. The City did not however hook each existing home to its respective cleanout
leaving the making of that connection up to each homeowner. Some homeowners tied
their homes to their new cleanout, some chose to remain connected to the old sewer.
The old private sewer along Asbury is now blocked and overflowing raw sewage
into the roadside ditch. You need to determine whether your Asbury Road house is
hooked to the new sewer or the old blocked and overflowing sewer. If you are uncertain,
call me and we will put dye in a water fixture in your house and see if dyed sewage
shows up in the ditch. If you know that your Asbury Road house is connected to the old
sewer you must go ahead and hire a plumber to connect your service line to the new
sewer.
The discharge of sewage onto the surface of the ground is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a). Violations of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1(a) are punishable by Civil Penalties of up to $25,000 per day with each day a
violation continues being considered a separate violation.

am only sending this letter to home owners on the south-east side of Asbury
because the status of homes on the opposite side of the street has already been
determined. You will notice a plumber working in yards across the street; tying certain
homes into the new sewer line. Please call me if you need help in determining whether
your Asbury Road home is tied to the old or new sewer. Conversely, if you know that your
house is hooked to the old, overflowing sewer, go ahead and hire a plumber to hook your
service line to your new cleanout. Please call me at [phone] either to ask for my
help or let me know that your house is tied to the new sewer so I can mark you off my list.

Permit No: WQCS00140

Dear Mr. Holloman:
It is my understanding that the Town of Columbus is seeking assistance in funding
the replacement of approximately 35 manholes located along the Town's Milliken sewer.
recall a few years ago that I was involved in smoke testing this fifteen inch sewer. We
found the brick manholes to be badly deteriorated and subject to infiltration and inflow.
Replacement of these manholes is a logical step in removing extraneous flow from
Town's collection system therefore I strongly support such a project.
wish the Town success in its endeavors to secure funding for this project. Should
I be able to assist in this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].

Sewer/Water Study Grant Request
Cherokee County,NC
Dear Ms. Haigler-Cuberta:
This Office is receipt of information from McGill Associates in which they are informing the
Division of Water Quality of their intention of applying for a grant in order to assist the Town of
Murphy in addressing and or preventing problems associated with the Town's waste water
collection system and waste water treatment plant.
It is the opinion of staff of this Office that this would be an excellent project to pursue, thus we
are in full support of McGill Associates effort to obtain a grant in order to undertake this study.
The Town has experienced some problems with its collection system and has also reported
NPDES permit effluent limit violations in the past. This study would also assist the Town in
improving its collection system maps and also provide insight for future additions to the Town's
the Capital Improvement Plan, both of which are requirements of the Town's collection system
permit.
Anytime steps can be taken to prevent Inflow and Infiltration, progress is made toward the ability
of a municipality to properly convey and treat wastewater, thus helping to maintain good surface
water quality, which is obviously the mission of this Division. If you have any questions or if
you need additional information, please contact Mr. Keith Haynes or me at 828/2.96-4500.

Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
3. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout jr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. NCDOT shall submit a modified Pre-Construction Notification Form (PCN) if there are proposed impacts to
UT1 and/or UT2 as indicated in the Categorical Exclusion document (page 6, Section VI. A. 2. Water
Resources).
7. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning \
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off site sedimentation during
construction of the bridge.
8. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams.. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Stormwater
shall be managed in accordance with your State Stormwater Permit-issued by the Division of Water Quality.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new bridge, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
14. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this \,
certification.
18. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.

NPDES Stormwater General Permit-NCG020503
NOV-2009-PC-0047
Cherokee County
Dear Sirs:
On January 13, 2009, Linda Wiggs from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality, conducted a site inspection for the facility known as Cherokee
Quarry (Harrison Construction Co.-Div. APAC Atlantic Inc.) located along Marrestop
Road, Cherokee County, North Carolina. Present during this inspection was Don Mason.
The site drains to two Unnamed Tributaries to Persimmon Creek, Class C waters and one
Unnamed Tributary to North Fork Rapier Mill Creek, Class C waters,located in the
Hiwassee River Basin. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject project is
covered by NPDES Stormwater General Permit—NCG020503.
The following violations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan(SPPP)has been developed, recorded, and
properly implemented.
es o
The SPPP has been developed and was onsite, but is not properly implemented. The
SPPP needs to be adhered to. It also needs to be updated and include the third basin with
stormwater outfall discharging to an Unnamed Tributary to North Fork Rapier Mill
Creek.

2) Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit
requirements.
es No
The last qualitative monitoring performed was in September 2007. A facility personnel
states no discharge in 2008. Local precipitation stations indicate May 2008 and
December 2008 had significant rainfall events where monitoring could have been
performed. Personnel previously performing monitoring had been laid off in September
2008.
3)Analytical Monitoring
Analytical monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit
requirements.
es No
Land Disturbance and Process Area analytical monitoring was performed in 2005. It is
unclear why Land Disturbance and Process Area monitoring was not performed in 2006.
In 2007 Land Disturbance and Process Area monitoring was performed with an
exceedence for turbidity. The arithmetic mean of the 2005 and 2007 turbidity result
exceeds the cut-off concentration. Monitoring should have been performed in 2008.
Regardless, additional monitoring will be required in 2009.
4) Stormwater Best Management Practices
Best Management Practices as required by Permit and directed in the Plan are properly
implemented.
Yes 7 No
Weekly Best Management Practices (BMP) inspections have ceased. When they were
occurring, six-month (or longer)time spans were documented until repairs or
maintenance were implemented. Basins#1 and#2 were full at time of the inspection and
appeared to be short-circuiting; the last cleaning of these basins was documented on 10-
01-07. New basin#3 needed first chamber cleaned and gully at roadside to chamber four
fixed. General housekeeping around process and scale area was lacking. Stormwater
conveyance and inlet structures in the processing area needed maintenance. Stormwater
conveyances to all three basins need repair or maintenance. Conveyance to basin#2 was
blocked by waste material that had been pushed over the hill into conveyance channel.
Spills repeatedly were documented at refueling tank.
5) Twenty-four Hour Reporting
Division of Water Quality(DWQ)has been notified of noncompliance, which could have
endan ered environment.
Yes !�10
Sediment loss which impacted Waters of the State were documented downstream of
Basin#2. Facility did not notify DWQ of this noncompliance.
6) Stream Standard Violation 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f
Has visible sedimentation occurred offsite.
es No
In-stream sediment was present in the stream channel below Basin#2. Pockets of
sediment, 2-6 inches deep, as well as a slight coating of sediment throughout the reach,
were visible for approximately 50 feet.

including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3689 and 3688, corresponding to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 13 and 33. In addition, you should acquire any other
federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control,Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions fisted below.

Condition(s)of Certification.
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams,compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
3. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout jr), High
Quality Waters`(HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible, including pipes and barrels at floodplain elevation and/or.sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. Deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the culvert and pre-
treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Stormwater
shall be managed in accordance with your State Stormwater Permit issued by the Division of Water Quality.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new culvert, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions:
9. Native riparian vegetation.(e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
11. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
16. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the �.
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.

norpe, PhD.
26, 2009
Three
18. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
19. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
20. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
21. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not
being met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated,
or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
22. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
23. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
24. Upon.completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250,Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal
and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of
the Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the
404 or CAMA permit.

SUBJECT: NCS000295 Compliance Inspection
Status: Non-Compliant
Jackson Paper
Jackson County
Dear Sirs:
On December 16, 2008, an inspection of your facility located in Sylva N.C. was conducted to
determine if requirements of Stormwater Permit NCS000295 were being followed. Present
during the inspection was Tim Coggins.
The following observations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection:
Qualitative Monitoring
Qualitative monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the permit
requirements, semi-annually.
Analytical Monitoring
Analytical monitoring needs to be conducted and recorded in accordance with the permit
requirements. Results from 2005 at outfall#3 area concern. During the next representative
storm event,please perform analytical monitoring at outfall #3 and supply results to my attention
at the address listed in the footer.
Non-Stormwater Discharge
Documentation for the permanent closure of historic discharge points could not be located.
Please reevaluate for the presence of non-stormwater discharge. A dye test should be sufficient,
however you will need to be in contact with me during this process.
Stormwater Discharge outfall
The actual stormwater discharge outfall pipe locations were undetermined and are likely
inaccessible.Monitoring is performed at the furthest inline manhole or storm drain points.
Individual stormwater discharge outfalls and drainage areas are discussed below:

Outfall/Drainage#1: Outfall #1 has not been monitored. Site Drainage Map indicates this area
as#I. A link to the pump house is depicted on the Site Drainage Map. During the inspection,
this drainage area appeared to be only the southern section of drainage area#1, which is the
Main Office parking lot and a shipping area: with possible added drainage coming from Main
Street. It is unclear where the northern section of drainage area#1 drains or if the pump house is
connected. Please evaluate this and clarify. If the outfall is only receiving the southern section of
drainage area 91, please perform the following tasks: clean out the stormdrain, then perform oil
and grease analysis during the next representative rainfall event and submit results to me. It is,
possible this outfall would be better protected by installation of a pillow device to collect
sediment and parking lot petroleum residues. Any pillow device deployed would need quarterly
replacement.
Outfall/Drainage#2: Outfall#2 is monitored from a fairly deep storm drain structure on the
south side of the main building. This is the drainage area where non-stormwater discharge
evaluations need to focus. During the inspection there was considerable water in the storm drain
absent considerable rainfall. This structure makes for difficult monitoring; please discuss
qualitative and analytical monitoring technique- at this location.
Outfall/Drainage#3: Outfall#3 is monitored from a manhole at the south end of drainage area
#3 adjacent to the railroad tracks. This outfall receives drainage from the piles of sawdust, which
are used for fuel. This outfall has had elevated analytical results that are a concern, specifically
the BOD and COD results. Please perform analytical monitoring at this outfall during the next
representative rainfall event and submit results tome. Due to the sawdust piles in this drainage,
it is likely the BOD and COD will continue to remain elevated. Therefore methods to reduce %
these parameters elevated results will likely need to be explored.
Response submittal of items noted above is required within 60 days of the date of the letter. If
you or your staff has any questions,please'call me at 828-296-4653.

Inspection Summary:
The inspector met with Mickey Lanford and reviewed the SPPP and toured the facility. The site was found to be in
compliance with the permit.
The permittee needs to re-evaluate storm drainage and determination of outfalls for the site. The inspector determined
there might be additional outfalls that should be monitored.
One such location can be found to the west of the office building.An old stormwater basin is located in an area of woods,
which appears to be situated at the headwaters of a small creek or spring. Water is exiting the basin through rust holes in
the standpipe. This water flows to a wetland/stream that exits the property under the adjacent road.
Also;stormwater qualitative monitoring records indicate that up to six outfalls are currently being monitored on the site.
Only one outfall is depicted on the site plan.

surface waters in the state are assigned a primary classification that is appropriate to the best
uses of that water. In addition to primary classifications, surface waters may be assigned a
supplemental classification. Most supplemental classifications have been developed to provide
special protection to sensitive or highly valued resource waters Please be aware the Mills River
falls into several of these classifications before entering the French Broad. These classifications
include Water Supply II (class WS-II), Trout Waters (class Tr), and High Quality Waters (class

Dear Mr. Laughter:
Attached herewith is the Fast-Track Sewer Application which you submitted seeking
permission to construct a sewer system to serve Dana-Hill, Phase III. The application is
being returned for the following reasons:
(1) By Act of the North Carolina General Assembly, effective September 1, 2007,
Fast-Track Permit processing fees were increased from $400 to $480. When
resubmitting the application please submit a single check made out to the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the amount of
$480. 1 am sorry to have to do this but our computer is not set up to record the
receipt of two checks.
(2) The Application shows the City of Hendersonville Wastewater Treatment Plant and
Collection System as receiving the wastewater collected at Dana-Hill. I am sure
that this is a simple mistake since Hendersonville has no gravity line in the area of
Dana-Hill.
I look forward to receiving a completed application. Please do not hesitate to call me at

Subject: Illegal Discharge of Sewage
443 Fairview Road
City of Asheville
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Kleinman:
On October 24, 2009, using dye, l confirmed that sewage from your house at 443
Fairview Road is being discharged into the back yard of your neighbor's home next door
at 451 Fairview Road.
The discharge of sewage onto the surface of the ground is a violation of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1(a). Violations of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)
are punishable by Civil Penalties of up to $25,000 per day with each day a violation
continues being considered a separate violation.
On several occasions I have discussed this matter with Betsi Flores and your son Josh
who are occupying 443 Fairview Road. On each occasion I was told that an effort was
being made to unclog or otherwise repair the service line providing sewer service for 443
Fairview Road. On January 26, 2009 1 observed an open hole above the service line in
the backyard of 451 Fairview Road with sewage standing in that hole. Within thirty (30)

Inspection Summary:
The inspector reviewed the SPPP and toured the site with Jeff Ferguson. Overall,the site is following good housekeeping
and maintenance practices and meeting permit monitoring requirements. The inspector and Mr. Ferguson identified a
sediment discharge of product to Mine Fork Creek impacting the receiving stream. This is a permit compliance issue. Mr.
Ferguson indicated there are plans to modify/expand the facility and the company would strive to change the existing
conditions to prevent such losses permanently. Until then housekeeping practices will be increased.
Prior to this inspection,the permittee had requested Representative Outfall Status(ROS)for this facility. Until the site
gains full compliance with the permit, the inspector determined approving ROS to be impractical.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Hine:
On January 26, 2009, using dye, I confirmed that sewage from your house at 74
Hemlock Street is being discharged onto your back yard and thence into a small stream.
The sewage is coming from a clean-out on a private sewer line crossing your property.
You informed me that the line serves two houses above you in addition to your house.
You also informed me that Lloyd Burnette, a former neighbor, entered into contract to
maintain the sewer crossing your property in return for the right to use that line to provide
sewer service to two pieces of property above yours. Today I am informed that one of
those pieces of property has sold and that the deed obligates the new owner to assume
Mr. Burnette's obligation to maintain the sewer crossing your property.
The discharge of sewage onto the surface of the ground is a violation of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1(a). Violations of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)

Dear Messrs. Ponder and Edwards:
On January 9, 2009 the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources (DFR) notified the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) of an oil spill on property in Madison
County either owned and/or logged by Mr. Ponder and/or Mr. Edwards. On January 14,
2009 Kevin Barnett of the Asheville Regional Office DWQ along with staff of the North
Carolina DFR conducted site inspections on the property
During the inspection DWQ staff collected measurements, took photographs, and made
visual observations of sedimentation and earthen fill impacts to unnamed tributaries to
Brush Creek, a Class C Trout stream located in the French Broad River Basin.

Item I. Oil Pollution & Hazardous Substances Control Act—Unlawful Discharge
The waste hydraulic fluid leaking from the load loading equipment, left on the ground
during a precipitation event, discharged overland to an un-named tributary to Brush
Creek constitutes a violation of North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.83. North
Carolina General Statute § 143-215.83 states that it shall be unlawful, except as otherwise
provided in this Part, for any person to discharge, or cause to be discharged, oil or other
hazardous substances into or upon any waters, tidal flats, beaches, or lands within this
State, or into any sewer, surface water drain or other waters that drain into the waters of
this State, regardless of the fault of the person having control over the oil or other
hazardous substances, or regardless of whether the discharge was the result of intentional
or negligent conduct, accident or other cause.
Item II. Oil Pollution & hazardous Substances Control Act—Required Notice
The waste hydraulic fluid leaking from the load loading equipment, left on the ground
during a precipitation event, .discharged overland to an un-named tributary to Brush
Creek constitutes a violation of North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.85. North
Carolina General Statute § 143-215.85. states that except as provided in G.S.
143-215.94E(al) and subsection (b) of this section, every person owning or having
control over oil or other substances discharged in any circumstances other than pursuant
to a rule adopted by the Commission, a regulation of the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency, or a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1 or the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act, upon notice that such discharge has occurred, shall immediately notify the
Department, or any of its agents or employees, of the nature, location and time of the
discharge and of the measures which are being taken or are proposed to be taken to
contain and remove the discharge.
Item II. Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
It was observed that two un-named tributaries to Brush Creek had been filled with
earthen material and woody debris (approximately 1,200 linear feet on one tributary and
approximately 800 linear feet on a second tributary). The placement of fill without either
exclusion nor authorization is a violation for failure to secure a 401 Water Quality
Certification. DWQ site visits and file review confirmed that impacts occurred without a
404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A file review indicates that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has not authorized use of a 404 Permit for this activity
nor has notification been provided to the COE for this activity. The file review confirmed
that a Pre-construction Notification has not been received by the Division of Water
Quality for this project and that a 401 Water Quality Certification has not been issued. A
Pre-Construction Notification submitted to DWQ is required prior to the above-
mentioned impacts pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500.

Madison County
Item II. Removal of Best Usage (earthen fill, culverts, relocated stream channel)
The placement of the above cited earthen fill material and woody debris is a removal of
best usage as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2), which states that 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.
Requested Response
This Office request that you respond in writing as to any mitigating factors which
prevented you from containing hydraulic fluid on-site and why you failed to report an oil
spill reaching surface waters as required by the North Carolina General Statutes.
Additionally, this Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 30 days
of receipt of this Notice. Both responses should be sent to both this office at the
letterhead address and to the attention of Mr. John Hennessy at the Wetlands and
Stormwater Branch,NPS Assistance and Compliance Oversight Unit, 1617 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617. Your response should address the following items:
1. Please explain when these impacts occurred and why these impacts occurred without
prior authorization.
2. Please provide documentation (including a detailed site map/survey) depicting all
jurisdictional water features (e.g. streams, wetlands, buffers) on the site. This
documentation should describe and quantify the impacts to those jurisdictional
features, and should include plans to avoid further stream and wetland impacts on the
site.
3. Please submit the following documents for review and approval:
a. Stream Restoration Plan (sediment impacts) Sediment impacts to the
streams onsite and downstream of the site must be removed. As a part of this
plan, you should provide the amount (depth) of material that has been
deposited in the floodplain, stream and any wetlands. This information should
be depicted on a map you provide. It is recommended that you use hand labor
(buckets, shovels and wheelbarrows) to remove deposited sediment from the
stream channel. The sediment should be removed from the channel, taken to
high ground away from the stream channel and stabilized. Also, the plan must
address the measures that will be used for temporary stabilization/sediment
control while this work is under way.
b. Permit Application—If you wish for any impacts to remain in place, you must
contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for information on the
type(s) of permit required. Depending on the type of permits USACOE
requires, application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to DWQ will also
be required. Please note that sediment impacts to streams are not permittable.

Madison County
c. Please indicate in your response a detailed schedule with dates explaining
when the restoration will be accomplished, and if you plan to seek a permit for
the permittable impacts, when an application will be submitted.
You are encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with your plan development,
permit, certification and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.
4. It is required that you contact the Division of Land Resources and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. These contacts are necessary to ensure that your restoration
efforts are in compliance with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and Section
404 of the Clean Water Act.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Quality
regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be encountered.
Your above-mentioned response to this correspondence will be considered in this
process. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated
immediately. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Should you have
any questions regarding these matters, please contact Kevin Barnett at or myself at (828)
296-4500.

This system has a very long discharge pipe to Reems Creek. It is important that this pipe be kept clear and
maintained. The owner should take a look at the receiving waters annually to verify that there are no
problems with the discharge pipe.
The Division of water quality recommends you have your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years, to prevent
clogging of the sand filter. The surface of the sand filter should be kept clear of woody vegetation; roots will
affect the filters life and performance.

Dear Sir and Madams:
Using dye, l confirmed that sewage from your houses on Asbury Road is being discharged to
the roadside ditch. Sewage from your houses is being discharged to an old orphan sewer which is
clogged and overflowing. A much newer publicly owned sewer runs down the center of Asbury. Your
houses were never connected to the modern sewer in spite of the presence of a cleanout in your
respective yards.
The discharge of sewage onto the surface of the ground is a violation of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1(a). Violations of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a) are
punishable by Civil Penalties of up to $25,000 per day with each day a violation continues being
considered a separate violation. In addition to the assessment of Civil Penalties for violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215, the North Carolina General Statutes authorize the Division of
Water Quality to seek a court order to achieve compliance with the General Statutes.
