Dear Mayor Harrison:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215(a) (1) prohibits the making of an outlet into the
waters of the State without first securing a permit from the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission.
On January 20, 2010 staff members with the Asheville Regional Office observed the
discharge of untreated sewage from a cracked pipe at the Town's Silver Mine sewage
pumping station. The town was advised to fix the problem and submit a 5-day SSO report. An
incomplete report was submitted to the Asheville Regional office twelve (12) days after the
sewage spill was observed.
Form CS-SSO Collection System Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting Form states that
the form shall be submitted to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office within five (5) days of the
first knowledge of the sanitary sewer overflow (SSO). The form also states if an SSO is
ongoing, the Regional Office must be notified on a daily basis until the SSO can be stopped.

No complete written report has been received by the Regional Office documenting that
the SSO was stopped and that repairs have been made. North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.6 provides for civil penalties of up to $ 25,000 for discharging sewage without a permit.
The same statute empowers a State agency to go into Superior court seeking a court order
prohibiting an activity which is in violation of the Statutes.
The Asheville Regional Office is considering the assessment of Civil Penalties
against the Town of Hot Springs for the discharge of wastewater without a permit. To
prevent further action, carefully review these violations and deficiencies and
respond in writing to this office within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this
letter. You should address the causes of noncompliance and all actions taken to
prevent the recurrence of similar situations. Should you have questions or need
additional information, please contact Jeff Menzel at [phone]

Issues were observed during this inspection.
001 outfall-Package wastewater treatment plant. At the time of inspection, only one of the three blower
motors was working and all three are in need of new belts.The aeration basin and clarifier were frozen and
a follow-up inspection will be done at a later date after the plant thaws out.
002 outfall- boiler blow down and non-contact cooling water. The 002 outfall was extremely turbid and was
having an observable impact on the receiving stream. It appeared that.work had recently been done to the
outfall. It is required that this office be notified when changes or upgrades are made to treatment works.
003 outfall- Fire pump gland seal water. At the time of inspection 003 was discharging.The facility should
look for ways to retain this water and possibly eliminate this discharge.
A follow up inspection will be done at a later date and a compliance status will be determined at that time.

Dear Mr. Hembree:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on December
29, 2009. Following are observations resulting from my inspection which should be addressed
prior to the next compliance inspection.
The CIP should include a goals statement, a description of the project area, a description of
existing facilities, and a description of known collection system deficiencies and a discussion of
future collection system needs.
The Town of Tryon needs to insure that all remote portions of the collection system are inspected
annually and those inspections documented.
The Spill Response Plan should include all emergency numbers. To report a spill or unpermitted
release of untreated wastewater, call the DWQ Asheville Regional Office or 1-800-858-0368 if the
spill occurs on weekends, holidays, or after hours.
The Town's sewer system map should be modified by the addition of approximate pipe age and
number of service taps. Location of service taps may be indicated by superimposing the collection
system map over an aerial photo of the service area. It will be presumed that each building
shown will have a service tap.
Currently the Town is evaluating portions of the collection system in order to reduce the frequency
of overflows and cut down on the amount of inflow and infiltration.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or
your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

Summit Project No. 09103
Dear Mr. Edwards:
On behalf of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, we are submitting for your review and
approval the following items in regard to an application package for the above referenced project:
1. Fast-track Application for Permit to Construct(Original& 1 copy)
2. Application Fee($480)
3. Downstream Sewer,WWTF Capacity and Flow Tracking/Acceptance—Form 10/07
4. Map
5. Stream Classifications—Form WSCAS-12/07
This gravity sewer project is to replace a problematic section of sewers along Soco Creek. The
proposed line will parallel the existing route. The line size is being increased to 36-inch to
accommodate peak flows and future capacity. A trout buffer waiver has been approved by the
Division of Land Resources for the construction within the stream buffers. Approximately 2600-
LF of the sewer is located off the reservation and thereby authorization from NCDENR is being
requested. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 864-
949-1111 ext. 3109 or at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Donkin:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has received the Grassmere Enterprises, LLC Final Report
from ClearWater Environmental Consultants dated December 7, 2009, related to the Notice of
Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement NOV-2009-SS-0025.
DWQ has reviewed the information provided and conducted a follow-up site visit on January 29,
2010. The written response and the sediment removal observed at the site have satisfactorily
resolved the violations noted in the subject Notice of Violation and Recommendation for
Enforcement.
As specified in the approval dated October 12, 2009,you or your consultant must perform the
following:
• Quarterly visual monitoring at the site for a period of 2 years,then annually for 3 years (for
a total of 5 years). Should sediment be observed leaving the pond area, remedial action
must be taken.
It appears that the downstream amenity pools continue to gather sediment which will have to be
removed periodically (you may wish to do this during your quarterly visual inspection; this work
should also be conducted "in the dry"). You may also wish to limit access by horses to the stream
and streambanks on the property (i.e., maintain a stream buffer and restrict direct access).

$1,900.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$1,967.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b),which are:
(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 violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the.enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:

Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. 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 Quality 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 14313-282.1(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 Quality 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). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore,it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.

In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit

1617 Mail Service Center

Permit: NCG050335 Owner-Facility: Caterpillar Precision Seals
Inspection Date: 02/08/2010 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by David Nix and others. A tour was conducted of the exterior of the facility, observing the
stormwater conveyances and outfalls and site conditions. During the visit, the SPPP manual was reviewed, operational
activities and existing stormwater exposures were discussed. Permit requirements were also reviewed as pertaining to
the most recent permit version, dated June 1, 2008. At the time of the inspection the site was found to be in compliance
with the permit. The inspector noted that the facility appeared to maintain good housekeeping practices and records were
found to be in good order.
Some discussion was held regarding the type of manufacturing conducted at the facility(metal seals), pertinent SIC
coding and permit applicability of the NCG05 permit. Upon further research, DWQ considers the NCG05 permit to be the
proper industrial stormwater permit for the facility:
The inspector noted that some materials were exposed to stormwater on the site; including, metal components, recycling
bins and certain disused equipment/materials. Exposure to stormwater could be reduced by providing additional covered
areas for these items.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY = $ 2000.00
ENFORCEMENT COST $ 98.37
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE _ $ 2098.37
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(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 violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention
of:
Pretreatment Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. 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 Quality 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 inNCGS 14313-282.1(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
- 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 Quality 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). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission

Dear Mayor McIntosh:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance visit conducted on Nov. 3, 2009. The purpose of the
Technical Assistance visit was to make determinations as to the steps the Town of Burnsville should be making to
become compliant with conditions and requirements of permit WQCS00143, and the regulations pertinent to the
Wastewater Collection System to
Mr. Tom Storie's time and assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance (TA) inspection is appreciated. A
brief synopsis of the current steps the Town of Burnsville should address is as follows:
") Take immediate steps to "Designate" an ORC and a back-up ORC. Current documentation has not been received by
-ine Asheville Regional Office regarding this issue.
2) Take steps to develop and implement a written Collection System master plan that includes existing and future needs
with regards to the collection system.
3) Develop a °CIP" (Capital Improvement Plan) for the Collection system that should be a part of the Annual Budget
process.
4) Implement a "Record-keeping" review process that tracks system footage cleaned, inspected, replaced, and/or
retrofitted. Current record keeping is not consistent with permit conditions and regulations.
5) Implement a"Pump Station" upgrade plan/policy that includes a station evaluation addressing pump draw-down, station
capacity, and reliability. Current conditions at the pump stations allow for overflows.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments, and contact me regarding this
TA should you or your staff have questions. I am still available to conduct "Follow-up" to this TA regarding Collection
System and/or WWTP operation. My telephone contact information is(828) 296-4500.

Inspection Summary:
The purpose of this inspection was to make an assessment of the Collection System serving the Town of Burnsville and to
develop an"Itemized List"of items to be completed by the Town staff and/or their Engineer to meet the requirements of
an agreement between the Town and NCDENR-DWQ.
The following is a listing of findings:
(1)The.Town of Burnsville should develop a"written"Sewer Collection system master plan that includes existing and
future/forcasted needs, identified deficiencies and required corrections,what will be required to meet the future/forcasted
needs.
(2) ORC (Operator in Responsible Charge)and back-up ORC designation requirements. Burnsville has'yet"to complete
and maintain the"Permit Required"ORC/back-up ORC documentation and present this during an inspection of the
system.Forms have been left with Tom Storie, Part-time Public Works Director on several occasions.This needs to be
completed and submitted by the Town:
(3) CIP(Capital Improvement Plan), the Town of Burnsville has yet to develop a CIP for the Sewer Collection system.This
should be a part of the"Annual" budget process conducted by the Town.
(4)Tracking of the"Total Footage"of sewer line cleaned, inspected, and replaced per year is a"Permit Requirement".
The town needs to develop/utilize forms that allow for footage tracking.
(5) Pump Station upgrades. Two(2)of the four(4) Sewer Pump stations have the potential to fail based upon lack of
telemetry, current configuration, once/day inspection(s), and required maintenance involved with these stations(i.e. they
are"Can"type wet-well/dry-well stations.A"Complete"pump station evaluation including pump draw-down determination,
station capacity, reliability, and upgrade plans needs to be developed amd implemented. In addition to the environmental
consequences these stations pose, they also pose"operator Safety and Health issues.
It is suggested that the Town of Burnsville staff review"Asset Management"capabilities as they relate to Sewer Collection
systems. There are several avenues available to do this, but it requires that current Town staff make every effort to do
Web site research from the available resources that can be used. Follow-up communication,that includes e-mail,
telephone, and physical visitation will also be necessary to make this successful.

Comment: It is suggested that a complaint log be developed that can be used as an
SSP "Prevention"tool. By addressing compliants (i.e. odor, manhole area appearance,
etc.) one can better assess an SSO potential and incorporate means in their O & M plan
to prevent them.

Dear Mr. Lake:
A Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection was conducted at the Timken facility in Polk
County,NC on February 11, 2010. Present during the inspection was Linda Wiggs and Jody
Splawn. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG030440.
The following observations and recommendations were noted during the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ)inspection:
Stormwater DischarIze Outfall 2
A second Stormwater Discharge Outfall monitoring point needs to be monitored. Please add the
second Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO 2), which receives stormwater from the storage area
to the right of the building, to your site plan and monitoring schedule. An inlet drain that is
associated with this SDO 2 is located in a grassy area and has an erosion gully preceding it that
needs to be fixed prior to your sampling event in order to avoid elevated Total Suspended Solid
(TSS) results. Along with SDO 1, SDO 2 will require all Analytical and Qualitative monitoring,
including Total Toxic Monitoring.
PH Monitorin;
A pH meter is located onsite for pH analysis. However, calibration and probe storage solutions
necessary for accurate meter analysis are not onsite. Refer to the manufacturer instructions for
proper calibration and storage requirements.
Analytical Stormwater Monitoriny,Submittal
Please submit the next two sampling events analytical monitoring results from both of the
Stormwater Discharge Outfalls to the Asheville Regional Office(ARO) at the following address:

Inspection Date: 02/11/2010 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Most of the site drains via conveyances to a basin at bottom of hill. This basin/hardwood weltand is very large and will
treat the stormwater. The area to the right of the building does have a storage area that drains to a stormdrain via
overland flow which is considered SDO 2 and needs to be monitored.
There is an erosion gully leading to SDO 2 stormdrain. Prior to sampling this outfall the erosion gully needs to be fixed to
avoid exceeding TSS benchmark.
During the inspection no chemicals were stored outside, however alot of raw material is stored outside.
It needs to be determined if pH meter is working properly. The facility needs to buy pH calibration solutions for meter to
determine if readings are accurate.

Comment: A second SDO was located and needs to be added to site plan.
No spills have occurred in the last 3 years.
Alternative to practices has not recently been needed. However, depending on
analytical resluts from SDO 2 a feasiblity study may be needed if benchmarks are
exceeded.
There were no chemicals stored outside at time of inspection.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Please forward a copy of this report to your operator and/or contract operating firm (if applicable).
FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Cane Creek Elementary School WWTP is a Class II facility rated as'a 0.012 MGD extended
aeration with: manual bar screen; flow equalization with audible and visual alarms; aeration
basin with blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with sludge return; aerobic digestor;
tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; dechlorination unit with post-aeration; 22.5
degree V-notch weir with flow recorder and standby natural gas generator.
PERMIT/INSPECTION /LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-17-2008 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 12-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS / PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 6.7 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.36 units--- Hydrated lime, sodium bicarbonate and soda ash were added to raise
the pH and increase the alkalinity.
Dissolved Oxygen = 3.47 mg/I ---The timers were adjusted to increase aeration on
Saturday (2/20/10), due to a school make-up day.
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3
mg/l. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to
achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids= 250 ml/I = 25%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so
that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the
settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a
settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30%would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge
pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained.

Inspection Date: 02/19/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably
recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
pH = 6.36 units
Temperature = 6.7 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = 11 ug/I
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/ EFFLUENT/SUMMARY:
Mr. Kenneth Henson, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining
the facility very well.
The effluent was clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for
submittal of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:
The owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or wastewater collection systems that
treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste, must provide an Annual Report to its
users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that summarizes
the treatment works'-and collection system's performance over a 12 month period.)
The System Performance Annual Performance Report had been filed for the calendar year 2008 and was
received by the Division on February 26, 2009.
The System Performance Annual Report,for 2009, is due no later than 60 days of the end of the
reporting period.
Report Format:
The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Please forward a copy of this report to your operator and/or contract operating firm (if applicable).
FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
The Fairview Elementary School WIVTP is a Class II facility rated as a 0.011 MGD extended
aeration with:influent pumps; manual bar screen; flow equalization basin with audible and
visual alarms; aeration basin with blowers providing diffused air; clarifier with sludge return;
aerobic digestor; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chamber; dechlorination unit; flow
recorder and stand-by natural gas generator.
PERMIT/ INSPECTION /LOG:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
11-17-2008 by Wanda Frazier.
The permit expires on 12-31-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration.
A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The daily operator log was present on-site and had good notation of daily events, process
control and field testing data.
TREATMENT UNITS/ PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 7.2 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.2 units --- Hydrated lime, sodium bicarbonate and soda ash were added to raise
the pH and increase the alkalinity.
Dissolved Oxygen = 2.96 mg/I --- The timers were adjusted to increase aeration on
Saturday (2/20/10), due to a school make-up day.
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3
mg/I. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration
timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. -
Settleable Solids = 280 ml/I =28%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so
that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the
settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a
settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30%would generally indicate a
recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge

Permit: NCO066788 Owner-Facility: Fairview Elementary.School
Inspection Date: 02/19/2010 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained.
If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably
recommended, unless the sludge is too young.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
pH = 6.2 units
Temperature = 7.2 degrees Celsius
Chlorine = 12 ug/I
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE/ EFFLUENT/ SUMMARY:
Mr. Kenneth Henson, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining
the facility very well.
The effluent was clear and appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT:
Note: According to the Clean Water Act of 1999 (House Bill 1160), the legal requirement for
submittal of the System Performance Annual Report is as follows:
The owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or wastewater collection systems
that treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste, must provide an Annual
Report to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources that summarizes the treatment works' and collection system's performance over a
12 month period.)
The System Performance Annual Performance Report had been filed for the calendar year 2008 and
was received by the Division on February 26, 2009.
The System Performance Annual Report, for 2009, is due no later than 60 days of the end of the
reporting period. _
Report Format:
The following is provided as guidance to assist you in meeting this aspect of the new reporting
requirements. The law states the above mentioned report shall summarize the performance of the
treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any terms of its permit,
federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the protection of water quality
have been violated. In order to meet the spirit of this law, it is strongly suggested that, at
a minimum, the report contain the following information:

Please note that due to the continued high numbers of SSO's in North Carolina the Division has
implemented a new SSO enforcement policy on May 15, 2007. Between May 15, 2007, and June
1, 2007 the Division of Water Quality will contact collection system operators to inform them of
this policy. Beginning June 1, 2007 until December 1, 2007 any reportable SSO will be issued a
Notice of Violation (NOV). Beginning on December 1, 2007 civil penalties will be issued for
SSO's based on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity and impacts to
public health, fish kills or recreation area closures. Other factors considered in determining the
amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage,
whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any question regarding this policy please contact your Asheville Regional Office
Staff, or Mr. Don Price at(828)296-4500.
