One resident continues to flush an excessive amount of paper/soap/dog pee pads through the system.This causes the pumps to clog. The pumps need maintenance approximately every other month as a result. The color of the sludge in the aeration basin is very light in color. This is due to the lack of wastewater entering the WWTP. There are only 4 houses on the system and two of those are full-time residents. Soils Analysis:11/27/2013 Soils analysis recommendations should be followed for optimal crop growth. Reviewed November 2013 lab sheets for comparison with NDMR. The UV intensity readout is not operating properly; repairs/maintenance/service call is needed. MW#2 and#313 had 2L exceedances for fecal coliform in 2013; all wells were compliant for fecal coliform in the November monitoring event. MW#2 is located within the Review Boundary(RB). If 2L exceedances continue, this well may need to be relocated on the RB. ARO will continue to monitor results. All monitoring wells have tags and new locks. One of the ww irrigation notification signs located on the upper side of the drip field near MW#1 needs to be replaced. The irrigation field needs to be cut more frequently to allow for easier inspection of the drip lines. A Change of Ownership Form should be submitted for this facility. The operator has to stand in standing water to get to the electrical control panel. This is a safety issue and should be addressed. The wet weather storage tank had 19'of freeboard. Due to extremely low flows,the facility has not generated a significant amount of sludge to date. The high water alarm for the EQ basin was not working.

The chemicals found In your well were introduced from man-made sgiUrces. 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 htka:!/www epa govfsafew ricontaminanUtindey btmL#mcls). MCLs are national drinking water standards that are required to be met by municipal water supplies. If an NiCL was not avallable, your water results were compared to the North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards. Recommendations for Uses of Your Private Well Water The concentrations fbbnd in your well water do not exceed the recommended EPA levels/North • Carolina ZL Groundwater Standards. Therefore, your wafter 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 a d cooking. These contaminants include Your well water should not be used for drinking of cooking. If you have been drinking the well water and are pregnant, nursing, or have a child under S years of age, Inform your physicianof the results. Because of the low levels,very little absorption of these chemicals is exp etted through intact skin. However, having 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 a minutes. Because of the high levels, absorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin. Therefore, limit showering and bathing time to 5 to 10 minutes. Because of the very high Navels, significant absorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin. Therefore, this water should not be used for showering and bathing. ®o. 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.

The facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0006564. Present during the inspection were Bev Price and Landon Davidson with the Division of Water Resources and Amanda Richcreek, Steve Taylor and Michael Finnmore with Baxter Healthcare Corporation. The WWTP was having adverse bacterial issues on the day of the inspection and there were system components in need of attention. Fortunately, it appeared the actions being taken by the operator to maintain compliance during this time were working, and Baxter plans to upgrade different components of the WWTP in the near future. The area that is in need of immediate attention are the clarifiers; it is suggested a pump truck clean the center wells and the troughs to avoid solids passing through and possibly causing non-compliance with the effluent limitations. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for important observations and comments. If you or your staff have any questions;please call me at 828-296-4500.

The facility has elevated filamentous bacteria levels. However, an increase of solids at the effluent has not been reported. The ORC is attempting to kill the filamentous bacteria and plans to inoculate with beneficial bacteria. The plant is in need of upgrades and several are planned for 2014-2015 including the two clarifiers, additional aerators, the UV system and the filtration system.

The center wells had excessive build up as did the troughs. There was moderate pin floc and the basins do not have a sludge blanket. This is due to the filamentous bacteria. See summary. Clarifier#1 &#2 have been refurbished in the last 5 years. Clarifier#3&#4 are in need or refurbishing. The weirs are decayed to a point they are no longer functioning properly.

The visual alarm needs to be fixed, it would not illuminate. The system is aged but appears to be functioning, although it is likely much of the wastewater is percolating into the ground. Also staff mentioned that the lagoon holds mostly precipitation. Regardless, if the system is discharging effluent samples should be obtained. Question symbols: NA-Not Applicable, NE-Not Evaluated Page# 2 Permit: NCO040339 Owner-Facility: B.H.Corpening Forestry Training Center Inspection Date: 01/31/2014 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Operations&Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ 0 n Does the facility analyze process control parameters,for ex:MLSS,MCRT,Settleable Solids, pH, DO,Sludge 0 0 0 n Judge,and other that are applicable?

I_l 0 n 0 Is the inspector granted access to all areas for inspection? ■ ❑ 0 0 Comment: The facility is on Forest Service land but is not restricted. The components are below the ground. Permit renewal will take place this year. Septic Tank Yes No NA NE (If pumps are used)Is an audible and visual alarm operational? ❑ ■ fl Is septic tank pumped on a schedule? n m rl Are pumps or syphons operating properly? N Cl 0 D Are high and low water alarms operating properly? ■ n Comment: The visual alarm did not illuminate when float was lifted, however it sounded as if the switch was activated. NCFS staff and the ORC will check into this immediately; expecting it to be a blown bulb. This is an old system and does not have an audible alarm. The pumps and switches were replaced 3 years ago. The tank was also resealed 3 years ago. The tank does not receive many solids and there is a grease trap at the kitchen. However, it is suggested that solids in the tank be checked periodically with a sludge judge.

This sand filter is buried beneath a layer of gravel. Also as noted above this is a very old system, it is likely that much of the water entering this sand filter is percolating into the ground. Lagoons Yes No NA NE Type of lagoons? #Number of lagoons in operation at time of visit? 1 Are lagoons operated in? #Is a re-circulation line present? n n M n Is lagoon free of excessive floating materials? n n fl M #Are baffles between ponds or effluent baffles adjustable? n n 0 n Are dike slopes clear of woody vegetation? n ❑ n Are weeds controlled around the edge of the lagoon? n n n Are dikes free of seepage? n n n Are dikes free of erosion? n n n Are dikes free of burrowing animals? n n n #Has the sludge blanket in the lagoon(s)been measured periodically in multiple locations? n n M n #If excessive algae is present, has barley straw been used to help control the growth? n 0 m n Is the lagoon surface free of weeds? n n ❑ m Is the lagoon free of short circuiting? ■ n ❑ n Comment: The lagoon was frozen at the time of the inspection. The ORC and NCFS staff reported that the lagoon does not receive a lot of wastewater; most of the water in the lagoon is precipitation. The lagoon is lined. The lagoon should not be receiving solids and it was reported that the lagoon bottom is usually visible, therefore visual observation of the sludge blanket should be sufficient.

This is not a problem as the river has likely moved over time. It was mentioned that there may be stream restoration work performed along this reach of the river. Please make sure the plans include the discharge pipe location so the contractor does not damage the pipe during restoration work. Page# 5 �\ ��\ i � " �`� f __.

The review revealed the following exceedances of either a Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)2L .0202 groundwater quality standard or an interim maximum allowable concentration(IMAC)for groundwater established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0202: 1. Ammonia was detected in compliance monitoring well MW-4 in excess of the IMAC of 1,500 micrograms per liter(µg/L)in the sample collected October 10, 2013. Ammonia has been detected above the IMAC in every routine monitoring event going back to August 2011 when the IMAC for ammonia was established. 2. Fecal coliform bacteria have consistently been detected above the 15A NCAC 2L .0202 groundwater standard for coliform organisms in background monitoring well MW-1R since 2010. Prior to 2010 total coliform bacteria were consistently detected in MW-1R. Please provide a response to these findings detailing the cause of the ammonia groundwater exceedance in compliance monitoring well MW-4 and the fecal coliform bacteria detected in background monitoring well MW- 1 R by April 14,2014.

The program appeared to be in compliance with permit WQCS00324. Present during this inspection were Tim Fox with the Division of Water Resources and Carson Fisher and Don Barker with Burke County General Services. The time and efforts of Burke County General Services personnel are appreciated. The compliance issues noted in the previous inspection have been addressed. However, work will need to continue in certain areas; the map needs improvement, an annual report will need to be developed and cleaning of—66,000 linear feet of sewerline will need to take place this year. The County needs to expand on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) short and long term plans. And there is still a concern of reinvestment into the collection system and the continued overflows at the Indian Hill pump station. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for observations and comments. If you or your staff have any questions,please call me at 828-296-4500.

This inspection was a follow up to the previous inspection. It was also a meeting to discuss the flow study findings, meetings the county has held with satellite municipalities and receiving municipality(Hickory),and overflows at Indian Hill Pump Station (PS). The flow study indicates there are I&I issues with the satellite municipalities.The county(and municipalities)will need to take the appropriate actions regarding these findings.

The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of stipulated penalties when modified limits are exceeded or schedule dates are not met. A review of Catawba River Pollution Control Facility WWTP's monitoring report for November 2013 showed the following violations: Parameter Date Interim Limit Reported Value Limit Type BOD 11/30/2013 60 mg/I 69.39 mg/I Monthly Average Exceeded BOD 11/30/2013 120 mg/I 265.67 mg/I Weekly Average Exceeded TSS 11/30/2013 70 mg/I 117.78 mg/I Monthly Average Exceeded TSS 11/30/2013 150 mg/l 432.33 mg/I Weekly Average Exceeded Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,North Carolina 28778 Phone (828)296-4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: http://portal.ncdenr.org/webtwa/ws An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Mayor Mel L. Cohen \ February 19, 2014 Page Two You are directed to immediately take whatever remedial actions are necessary to correct the problems that have led to this violation. Section III of the SOC stipulates that a penalty in the amount of $1,000 be paid for noncompliance with any modified limit contained in the SOC. However, Section IV of the SOC lists circumstances under which stipulated penalties are not due, essentially stating this provision is applicable when the Division of Water Resources can be satisfied the non-compliance was caused by events or circumstances beyond the control of the Catawba River Pollution Control WWTP. If you have information that will prove to the Division that any or all of the criteria set forth in Section IV have been met, you must submit this information in writing to the Asheville Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of this notice. In the absence of evidence justifying the application of the provision within Section IV, this Office will proceed with assessment of stipulated penalties as provided for in the SOC.

The sample was collected at the request of the NCWRC due to their concerns over potential pesticide impacts to their drinking water. During the January 8,2014 site visit,the well was continually purged for 30 minutes.A sample was collected at the wellhead after the 30 minute purge,and an approximate purge volume of 120 gallons,and analyzed for metals,fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria,pesticides,herbicides,and semi- volatile organic compounds.Dieldrin was detected in the water sample above its Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)2L.0202 groundwater quality standard.Iron and manganese were detected in the sample above their respective EPA secondary drinking water standards.Nitrates and several additional metals were detected in the sample below their applicable standards.Please note that the laboratory analytical report for metals is marked preliminary.I have been assured by the laboratory that the results will be validated and that the report can be used for health risk evaluation purposes. Please review the analytical results and provide a health risk evaluation for the drinking water supply.If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828)296-4684.

The sample was collected in response to a complaint from a tenant of the home regarding the quality of water obtained from the well. During the January 21,2014 site visit,the well was continually purged for 33 minutes.A sample was collected at the wellhead after the 33 minute purge,and an approximate purge volume of 100 gallons,and analyzed for metals,sulfides, chloride,fluoride,sulfate, fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, and volatile organic compounds.No sulfides,bacteria,or volatile organic compounds were detected in the sample collected from the wellhead.Iron and manganese were detected in the sample above their respective EPA secondary drinking water standards.Chloride,fluoride,and several additional metals were also detected in the water sample. Please review the analytical results for detected constituents and provide a health risk evaluation for the drinking water supply. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828)296-4684.

Drinking water may contain Chemical contaminants which can oCCUF 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 evalgate 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 httn;/lwww e atprlccntaminantsfinde cfsl. MCLs are nationalldrinking water standards that are required to be met by municipal water supplies. If an MCL was not avallbble,your water results were compared to the North Carolina 2L Groundwater Standards. Recommendations for Uses of Your Private Well Wader •r...� 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. / t62Lf�y4, 4.4 Contaminant concentrations found In your well water are higher than the for drinking and cooking, These contaminants Include 9 `recommended levels Your well water should not be used far drinking or cooklrtg. if you treys been drinking the well water and e r suits. nl, nursingr or have a child under S years of age, inform your p slcian of the results. Because of the low levels,some absorption of these,chemicals Is expected through Intact skin and exposure to water vapor.,Therefore, limit showering and loathing time to less than ill minutes, Because of the high levels, absorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin and exposure to water vapor. Therefore, limit showering and bathing time to less than S minutes. Because of the very high levels,significant arbsorption of these chemicals could occur through intact skin and exposure to water vapor. 'therefore,this water should not 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. Resompling Is recommended in months. other Comments TP a 1 } 1�. �, u y � TA'a 6e 1�f�,F7 ...... .._-. k�, F._,
