Dear Ms. Andrews:
I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the NPDES system that serves the Town of Rutherfordton's
Sewer Collection System on December 8, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Keith Ward, Public
Works Director and ORC of Rutherfordton Collection System was greatly appreciated. Based on records
reviewed, on-site discussions with Keith, the Town of Rutherfordton's Collection system was determined to be in
compliance with permit WQCS00127. A report is attached for your records and findings are summarized.
Suggestions/Recommendations
` The current'Pump Station' inspection protocol should be reviewed for consistency and usefulness. Two of the five
pump stations reviewed during the inspection revealed and need that should have been addressed by the pump
station inspection staff prior to the inspection. Please review the current P/S inspection process, make
adjustments as needed and inform the Asheville Regional Office when results are compiled.
If there are questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation, maintenance, or a
Collection System permit question, please let me know. Thank you for the opportunity to conduct this Compliance
Evaluation Inspection.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Andrews:
conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the NPDES system that serves the Town of
- Rutherfordton's WTP on December 7, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Keith Ward,
Public Works Director for Town of Rutherfordton, Nadine Blackwell, Back-up ORC Rutherfordton
WWTP and her staff, was greatly appreciated. Based on records reviewed, on-site discussions
with Nadine and staff, the Town of Rutherfordton's WWTP NPDES system was determined to be in
compliance with permit NC0025909. A report is attached for your records and findings are
summarized.
Site/System Review
The current WWTP NPDES System consists of an Extended Aeration Activated Sludge system
with 2 aeration basins, and 2 secondary clarifiers operated in parallel. The system has liquid
chlorine disinfection and liquid de-chlorination, with discharge to Cleghorn Creek in the Broad River
basin. During the Inspection the discharge observed ;,into the receiving stream did not appear to
causing a negative impact.
Suggestions/Recommendations
The current composite sampling scenario needs to be reviewed. NPDES permit NCO025909
requires 'composite sampling'. In reviewing the composite sampler's (Influent and Effluent) located
at Rutherfordton's WWTP, it was observed that there is 'NO' thermometer to check the
temperature of samples. Proper composite sampling protocol requires monitoring the sampler's
refrigeration system to maintain sample temperatures of less than 6 degrees Centigrade. Please
l
have a thermometer placed 'in' the sampler's refrigeration unit and monitor the readings.

"Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" [15A NCAC 04B .01241 throughout design and
construction of the project.
General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
1. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
2. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Low Impact Bridge Projects must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to qualify for Low Impact;
otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required.Example(Regional General Permit No.
31,Nationwide Permit No.23,Nationwide Permit No. 13, etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports(bents)should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. 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
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
6. 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.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory) or drilled shaft
construction methods.More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without
prior written approval from NCDWQ first.
8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface
waters. This water shall be captured,treated, and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by
NCDWQ in this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,
temporary causeways, or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be
floated into position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position.Under
no circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water.
(2)

11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags,rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
12. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
14, If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid
wetland impacts,minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment,the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information,please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This facility was last inspected in April of 2011. At that time similar conditions were noted at this facility.
Please take corrective action 'immediately'and inform the Asheville Regional Office as requested.
An Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the NPDES system that serves the McDowell County Adult Care
WWTP was conducted on January 18, 2012 by Mr. Don Price and Ms. Janet Cantwell with the Surface
Water Protection Unit of the Asheville Regional Office. Based upon on-site observations of the system and
Sand Filter conditions observed, the Cedarbrook Residential Care WWTP NPDES system was determined
to be `non-compliant' with permit NC0035157.
Site/System Review
The WWTP system consist of a Septic Tank-Sand Filter WWTP. On-site observations indicate the
sand filter is ponding and there is an accumulation of'excess sand and debris' around the sand
filter retaining wall. Both of these conditions contribute to the cause of the non-compliance.
Suggestions/Recommendations
The current accumulation of sludge in the septic tank should be evaluated for removal. The level of sludge
accumulation should be measured with a 'sludge judge' and removal of the sludge should occur when the
level reaches 1/3 of the total septic tank capacity. Please review the level of Sludge accumulation and
inform the Asheville Regional Office when results are compiled, and the final removal/disposal option the
facility takes regarding this issue. The sand filter revealed signs of'ponding' on the filter surface, reducing
the filters ability to properly function in the manner in which it should. The filter surface needs to be manually
raked and any accumulation of solids and debris removed, and not placed along the ourside of the filter bed. -
using a garden tiller to "rake"the sand is not an approved method,as it'cuts' any solids and debris into the
filter media causing filter ponding and poor performance. Please notify the Asheville Regional Office within
10 days receipt of this letter, regarding corrections made for filter ponding and septic tank sludge
accumulation and removal. Also, septic tank sand filter systems are designed to be operated at a hydraulic
loading of 2—5 gallons per day per sq.ft. of surface area. This is essentially the flow over the filter.
Monitoring reports reviewed indicate 'overloading' of the flow to the system and the filter. Please review
your water usage and the loading capabilities.

Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? D ■ D D
Does the facility analyze process control parameters,for ex: MLSS,MCRT,Settleable Solids, pH, DO,Sludge D D n ■
Judge,and other that are applicable?
Comment: WWTP consists of a Septic Tank/Sand Filter system with Tablet
disinfection and de-chlorination. There was no indication that operators conduct process
control such as sludge accumulation measurement of the septic tank. Sand and debris
removed from the Sand Filter is disposed of along the outside wall of the sand filter,
which is not in accordance with proper sand filter operation.

Are high and low water alarms operating properly? D D ■ D
Comment: The septic tank effluent is fed through two dosing syphons. The tank and
dosing system is 'locked'to prevent access from residents of the facility. One of the
three distributor arms extending from the dosing tank has been separated allowing for
'un-even'distribution and overdosing of the sand filter.

Comment: At the time of the inspection the sand filter was showing signs of'ponding',
over the entire surface area. which is considered as failure to meet the 'Proper
Operation and Maintenance' requirement in NPDES permit NC0035157.

Dear Mr. Moore:
On January 15,2012,I inspected the greenhouse facility with you, in response to a complaint of trash
(plastic plant containers)and soil(aerolite)being discharged to waters of the state. At the time of our
inspection,there was no evidence of planting media being released from the site,nor in the recent past.
The fill slopes for greenhouse expansion were stable,vegetated, and consisted of a clay soil type
inconsistent with planting media.
During our inspection,you also reviewed planting media handling procedures with me, and discussed the
handling of other waste streams(plastics) on-site. I understand that you are working with Mr.Presley of
Buncombe County to clean up the wind blown planting containers which have left the property.
As of this time,the Division of Water Quality has no concerns with material management with this
facility. I appreciate the effort you made to show the property, and operation. Should you have any
questions,please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-296-4657.
Sincerely,
Kevin Barnett

Dear Mr. Pulliam:
On January 25, 2012, Kevin Barnett of the Division of Water Quality, Asheville Regional Office,
performed a site inspection at your facility located off Hendersonville Road in Buncombe County.
' Charles Studle was present during the inspection of Phase 2.
During the inspection,the following were noted:
• Phase 1 is dormant at this time. There is evidence of turbid water/ sediment entering the drop
inlets along the eastern portion of the undeveloped area. The area should be seeded over with an
appropriate type for vegetative stabilization of the lots.
• Phase 2 had significant area of open land at the time of the inspection. A significant portion of
- - the open land was being prepared for turf grass placement and should be stable quickly-. The
sediment basin appeared to be operating properly, and was discharging to the installed post
construction treatment system. At the point that the land is stable within the apartment complex,
the post construction stormwater system should be cleaned out prior to being placed into service.
Additionally, it was suggested that moving the polyacrylamides in use at the discharge point of the
property may get better treatment if relocated to the discharge fo the pond in order to gain
maximum mixing prior to stormwater leaving the site. Evaluation of this could be considered as
a further attempt at protecting surface waters from turbidity.

Dear Mr. Colbert:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Jackson County tax records/parcel report indicates that Cala Boddie Colbert owns the property.
Please clarify the ownership of the property(or have Cala Boddie Colbert sign the application, if
available).
2. The DWQ, along with Duke Energy Lake Services,require that you evaluate the feasibility of a)
bioengineered techniques (i.e.,native plantings to alleviate soil erosion in lieu of or in
combination with hard structures), b)rip-rap only, and c) the combination of dry stack wall and
rip-rap.
DWQ is unsure from the information provided if significant erosion is occurring along the full
length of the property, or just a portion. A dry stack wall may be necessary for only a portion of
the property (and not the full 300 linear feet of shoreline stabilization requested).

Mr.Colbert

If it is the case that significant erosion is limited to certain areas,you should evaluate the
possibility of a small portion of dry stack wall, with the possibility of rip-rap (only)in other r
areas.
3. Please explain why work cannot be conducted from the lake. DWQ and Duke Energy prefer that
work be conducted from a barge rather than from the shoreline (so that any vegetation
disturbance can be minimized).
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to March 16, 2012. Four copies of the
required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:
Mr. Ian McMillan

If we do not hear from you by the deadline, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and
we will consider the project withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the preliminary application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,

Dear Mr. Knopf:
Division of Water Quality staff has reviewed your request dated February 1, 2012 for determination that
stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 147-002 be granted representative outfall status for stormwater outfalls
147-003 and 147-004. Based on a site visit and information provided, the request has been approved and is
effective with the next sampling event. We also want to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative
Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status. The permit also requires that Vulcan
continue to sample SDO number 147-001 as a wastewater discharge.
y notice of this letter the Vulcan Morganton Quarry site is to sample SDO 147-001 and SDO 147-002 during a
discharge event and does not have to gather those samples within the first 30 minutes of discharge.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document that
representative outfall status has been approved as well as sampling approval outside the first 30 minute time
range. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that
significantly alter the basis of this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should
either resume sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information. If you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact Linda Wiggs at(828)

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 listed 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 shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. All portions of the proposed project draining to 303(d) listed watersheds that are impaired due to turbidity
shall be designed, constructed and operated with sediment and erosion control measures that meet Design
Standards in Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 413.0124 ]. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT
shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres.
5. All portions of the proposed project draining to 303(d) listed watersheds that are impaired due to biological
criteria exceedances shall not discharge stormwater directly to surface waters. Stormwater shall be treated
using appropriate best management practices (e.g., vegetated conveyances, constructed wetlands, detention
ponds,etc.)prior to discharging to surface waters.
6. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria prescribed by the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible e
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be---'
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.

Dr. Gregory Thorpe,Ph.D.
February 17, 2012
Page Three
9. 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.
10. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
11. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. 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.
12. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.
13. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated,and disposed of properly.
14. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
this certification.
15. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary causeways,
or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be floated into position and then sunk.
The barges shall not be'sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along
the bottom of the surface water.
16. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
23. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
24. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
25. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
26. 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.
27. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
28. 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.

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.
30. 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 NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
31. 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.
32. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
33. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.

SUBJECT: Construction Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection
Western Carolina University (WCU)-Harrill Hall
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Walker:
This letter is in follow-up to the Compliance Inspection conducted on February 8, 2012. The facility was found
to be non-compliant with the Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000.
The Division of Water Quality's (DWQ) Construction Stormwater Permit requires that the site be compliant
with the Division of Land Resources (DLR) approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. The most
recent inspection by DLR indicated non-compliance. There are several areas that DLR and DWQ need WCU to
-address in order to come into compliance.
fhe enclosed Site Inspection Reports contain observations and comments to assist you with compliance. The
Site Inspection Report, which indicates the Program Area as Standards/Sediment, relates primarily to the
Geothermal Well Drilling operation and the Site Inspection Report which indicates the Program Area as
Construction SW (NCGO10000), relates primarily to the construction operations at WCU.
The compliance deadline is March 30, 2012.
Please contact me at [phone] or linda.wiggs cr,ncdenr.gov, if I can be of any further assistance.

Inspection Summary:
Construction Operation Overview and Summary for February 8,2012 Inspection
Three Stormwater(SW)outfalls;two permitted,one unpermitted bypass.
*The unpermitted bypass happens during rain events via the current construction entrance across the parking lot to the stream. This
bypass should be redirected to the basin. If that is not feasible then any bypass flows shall not be sediment laden or discolored. As
discussed during the inspection this area of the construction site would require sufficient temporary groundcover to avoid erosion
during a rain event.
*The permitted SW outfall with the basin is receiving little water at this time of construction. As noted above where feasible
stormwater flows from this area of the construction site should be redirected to the basin for treatment. Again temporary groundcover
in this area should be deployed to avoid water quality standard violations such as elevated stream turbidity.
*The permitted SW outfall with the underground piped conveyance system is receiving most of the SW flows from the construction
site. There are several issues with this outfall: run-on, lack of treatment or maintenance and housekeeping.
**During rain events storm flows drain directly onto the construction site from the upper roads. These flows should not be allowed to
drain onto the construction site. The site was not approved to treat these flows. Western Carolina University should evaluate this
situation and consider diversion options to keep these flows off the construction site.
**The stormwater conveyance system is discharging stormflows that will likely violate water quality standards. Representatives have
been advised to monitor this outfalls SW discharge for turbidity levels. And to take appropriate actions on the site to obtain a SW
discharge that will not violate water quality standards. Items mentioned during inspection to improve the discharge were to add
temporary groundcover where feasible(cover stock piles,spread sufficient straw on bare areas,etc),continue using the waddle and
check dams in concert with the inlet stone protections,but these devices need to be installed and maintained for their optimum
effectiveness. Also other contaminants having access to the stormwater conveyance system were noted, particularly concrete and/or
bentonite. These products have a high pH that could alter the receiving streams pH and cannot be discharged thru this conveyance.
Monitoring the outfalls turbidity levels will assist in determining if actions initiated have improved SW discharge from the site.
Because the site is already deploying chemicals in association with the geothermal well drilling activity it is preferred that the
construction activities not use chemicals. But,if all items mentioned above are not sufficient to avoid violating water quality standards
then it may be necessary to consider the use of chemicals for the construction area. However,chemicals are not to be used for the
construction area without prior discussion and approval from the inspector; Linda Wiggs 828-296-4500.

Comment: DWQ inspection records are being filled out, but on an old form. Contractor
was given new form and informed how to fill it out more thoroughly, as well as where to
evaluate the discharge. The new form has the proper notification requirements to DWQ
if non-compliant situations occur.
Most of the site drains to an old underground SW system with several inlets. Basic inlet
protection has been established with some added measures including waddles prior to
a sediment storage area and check dams. There was undercutting and a lack of
connectivity at some of the waddles rendering them less effective. Also evident at the
inlet area by the dumpsters was concrete or bentonite residue. Based on conditions
during the inspection a discharge from this SW system would likely violate water quality
standards. See inspection summary for more information.

Inspection Summary:
Geothermal Well Installation Overview and Summary for February 8,2012 Inspection
The geothermal well drilling operation required a water treatment system to avoid a discharge to the receiving stream that would
violate water quality standards. As noted in an email between the inspector(Linda Wiggs)and the driller(Lon Dillard),the water
treatment system consisted of a 8"pipe from a rig diverter to a 1 st stage 12 yard container for initial settling of heavy particles,then
another 8"pipe carrying water to the 2nd stage 12 yard container which would have a filter bag for further particulate removal. The
next phase of the system introduces NC approved chemicals to help settle out the remaining fines. The chemical being used is an
Applied Polymer System(APS)log product inserted in a log train attached to the second container. From the floc log train the water
would flow to a 20'x10'final clarifying area. The clarifying area would consist of a bottom layer of filter clothe topped with jute matting
and perimeter and interior series of straw wattles wrapped with a BSRF silt fence material. This clarifying area will be located on an
old basketball court. Water should then flow overland in a non concentrated manner to the stream.
*The driller was also instructed by the inspector to not use any chemicals beyond the floc log train so there would be sufficient area to
allow the chemical to bind with the suspended particles and settle out. If there is not sufficient area for this settling process then there
could be a discharge of these chemicals to the stream which would not be acceptable.
*Other items discussed with the driller regarding the water treatment system were the residual disposal and stream
observations/monitoring.
**He was told to designate an area where any residuals/waste from the drilling operation will go before he began and to be prepared
to deploy any necessary erosion control around this area,especially the settled fines if they require drying time.
**He was told to clear a path for access to the stream,if necessary. If the stream was overgrown with weeds he was instructed to
weed eat a path for access upstream of the discharge area and downstream of the discharge in order to make daily observations to
make sure stream impacts were not occurring.
**Finally he was told to have a turbidity meter onsite to make sure the discharge was compliant with turbidity standards.
For the most part all of this was done however there are some areas that need improvement and the driller is re-evaluating the water
treatment system to maintain compliance with water quality standards.
*Areas noted above that need improvement are the final clarifying area for settling out the particulates and having the turbidity meter
onsite.
**There were signs of a bypass around the final clarifying area near the upper end of the basketball court by the adjacent driveway. It
is unclear why this bypass occurred, but it needs to be eliminated. The clarifying area did not appear to be constructed as originally
indicated or simply was not large enough. The clarifying area should have sufficient hold time associated with it so the water can be
still to allow for the final settling. The driller has to be creative in order to make the most of this area to achieve compliance but also
avoid damage to the basketball court. Discussed during the inspection was laying plastic over a berm of sufficient size and material to
create a stilling basin.
**It was explained that the turbidity meter needed to be onsite and how to use the turbidity meter in order to determine compliance
with water quality standards. Upstream observations/readings can be performed at the upstream culvert. Downstream
observations/reading can be performed—20-50 feet downstream of where the drilling operation discharge enters the stream. It should
also be noted that drilling cannot take place during rain events. The water treatment system for the drilling operation is not sufficiently
size to accept any additional water from a rain event. What falls into the canisters or the clarifying area during a rain event is ok, but
no run-on should be allowed into this system.
The driller encountered a geologic formation that required him to re-evaluate the chemicals being used to settle the particulates.
Liquid chemicals(Cape Fear products)will be introduced at the head of the system in the 1 st canister. The driller has been told not
to use the APS and Cape Fear chemicals in conjunction without discussing this with the inspector first. If the chemicals are to be
used at the head of the system then the floc log train should be detached and vice versa.
Ancillary drilling and construction waste need to be managed in a manner that will not pollute the environment.
The driller was advised to adequately protect wellheads and boreholes to prevent migration of surface contaminants into the borehole
and/or annular space of incomplete injection wells.The recommended approach is to complete(ie,grout and cap)each injection well
before moving to the next well location.An alternate approach is to provide ample wellhead or borehole protection by building a soil
berm or sandbagging around each wellhead/borehole to divert surface contaminants from entering the borehole.The loops and any
open casing or annular space should be sealed until the well is completed.Other methods may also be used to divert surface
contaminants away from the well until well construction is complete.
