Clint Calhoun from the Town of Lake Lure was present. Stream standards violations were noted during the inspection. Sediment impacts to unnamed tributary to the Broad River (Class B, Trout waters) were documented related to a potable water line break for which you were responsible. Sediment was measured to be upwards of 8 inches in depth within the stream reach. Additional sediment deposition, unrelated to the water line break, was noted in the stream channel downstream of erosion control measures under the control of Highlands of Lake Lure, LLC. This second party has been issued a Notice of Violation to address sediment deposits for which they are responsible. The DWQ recommends a coordinated effort to resolve the current stream standards violation involved with both NOVs due to the co-mingled nature of the sediments. VIOLATIONS I.

Callicutt, Town Manager Town of Bryson City Post Office Box 726 Bryson City, North Carolina 23713 Subject: Town of Bryson City Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permit No. WQCS00170 Wastewater Collection System Swain County -near Mr. Callicutt: Attached is the report resulting from the Town of Bryson City`s Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation Inspection that I conducted on January 27, 2009. Bryson City's Public Works Department is doing a good job of operating the Town's wastewater collection system. The Town has an excellent collection system map. It is only deficient in that it does not indicate pipe age and pump station capacities. At every opportunity, I encourage the Town to move in the direction of computer based GIS mapping. Layering a utilities system with property lines and an aerial photo makes for a very useful map. I am concerned that construction of the Microtel motel has progressed so far without construction of the necessary sewer. The sewer line presently serving that particular area is 4-inches in diameter; far to small to serve a motel. Construction of a properly sized sanitary sewer along `veterans Boulevard to serve the area south of the four lane requires issuance of a Fast-Track permit and construction of approximately 3,000 feet of sewer. It is critical that the new Microtel not be allowed to go into operation utilizing the present 4 inch sewer. I have the impression that the replacement sewers in the vicinity of Kerr Drugs is a necessary companion project to the 3,000 feet of sewer coming up from the south. Get me a complete application and I will draft a Fast-Track permit Location:2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,North Carolina 28778 Phone:828-296-45001 FAX:828-299-70431 Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 One, Internet:www.ncwaterquality.org North.Caro.tlna An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer a" "all as quickly as possible.

Approval has been granted to place fill within 0.03 acres of open waters for the purpose of shoreline stabilization along your property. This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification and any additional conditions listed below. Project impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3693. This Certification allows you to use Regional General Permit 30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon expiration of the corresponding USACE General Permit Verification. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to)Erosion and Sediment Control and Trout Buffer regulations. This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us and may be required to submit a new application. The Application for Activity Permit for Shoreline Stabilization at Santeetlah Reservoir—Phase I from Alcoa indicates that vegetative plantings are the preferred method of shoreline stabilization with rip-rap as a second choice. The DWQ concurs with the Alcoa recommendation and, at the very least, a combination of the two approaches should be used.

Q staff ob stream and pond impacts as observed during site visits on 4/11/08, 4/18/08, 4/29/08, 8/4/08, 9/10/08, 11/21/08 and noted in the Notice of Violation dated 5/5/08, remain and continue to increase. The site visit indicated that some measures have been taken to reduce the impacts to the stream from sediment deposition. However, there is still significant stream impact resulting from approximately 39 inches of sediment deposition throughout the lengths of two Unnamed Tributaries to White Oak Creek. These impacts were observed to be approximately 1600 linear feet of unnamed tributary 1 and approximately 500 linear feet of unnamed tributary 2. In addition, DWQ obtained a water sample from the downstream pond and a reference pond. These samples were analyzed for turbidity and the results were as follows: 110 NTU for the downstream pond and 3.1 NTU for the reference pond. DWQ site visits and file review reveal the following violations on the site: Stream Standard Violations — Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)(fl — Approximately 1600 linear feet of unnamed tributary 1 and approximately 500 linear feet of unnamed tributary 2 were impacted from sediment deposition of up to 39 inches in depth. Stream Standard Violations—Turbidity Standard 15 A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)(k)—The downstream pond had sustained turbidity results of 55 NTU on April 29, 2008, 30 NTU on September 10, 2008, and 110 NTU on February 10, 2009.

The response for the May 5, 2008 NOV, was submitted by Environmental Services, Inc. on May 27, 2008. Timelines for stabilization efforts and stream/pond restoration efforts were given in this response: none were met. On September 8, 2008, discussions between you and Linda Wiggs took place to initiate an ongoing maintenance/sediment removal effort since the stabilization of the land had not been completed. Without the land stabilization issues resolved, sediment would continue to accumulate in the stream channel and pond. During the week of September 29, 2008 maintenance/sediment removal efforts were initiated. Paul Petitigout, with Environmental Services, Inc., submitted a preliminary progress report of those maintenance/sediment removal efforts via email on October 13, 2008. Ron Dziuk, formerly with LGI Land, submitted an update on maintenance/sediment removal efforts via email on October 24, 2008. To date, sufficient reporting on maintenance/sediment removal, a timeline for continued maintenance/sediment removal efforts or a stream/pond restoration plan has not been received. Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office has sent a recommendation for enforcement and assessment of civil penalties to the Director of the Division of Water Quality regarding these violations. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. If DWQ receives your written response within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of this Notice, it will be considered in this process. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated and properly resolved.

" NCO025984 I I 09/02/12 i 18ICI Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) This Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI)was conducted to determine WWTP compliance with NPDES permit NC0025984. All areas reviewed appear to meet conditions of compliance with the exception of DMR (Discharge Monitoring Reports) review for the past 12 months. DMR data review for the previous 12 months prior to the inspection indicate an average Effluent Ammonia concentration violation for the month of December 2008. The permit limit for Ammonia is 10 mg/L, the reported concentration was 11.49 mg/L. This is a violation of the NPDES permit limit for Ammonia, but it is not greater than 20% of the limit. It appears this violation was caused by the shut-down of a major Significant Industrial User(SIU) of the system. If corrective measures have not already been implemented for the Ammonia issue, please implement as soon as feasibile.Also, the effluent cascade aeration structure has deteriorated to the point where structural integrity is gone. This prohibits correct Effluent flow measurement and Effluent Composite sample collection. A remedy to repair this structure should be implemented as soon as feasible. It is suggested that facility staff obtain a reinforced patching material and fiberglass sheeting to make this repair.The ARO (Asheville Regional Office) offers on-site Technical Support to address non-compliance conditions, operational problems, and process control implementation should facilities request the service. The time and assistance of Jeff Dotson, Bobby Higgins, and Gary Newton in conducting the inspection is appreciated.

He has been experiencing difficulties with the WWTP due to the age and condition of the Influent Septic Receiving Station, and he requesting an assessment of this system. This station is at the Influent to the WWTP and all waste streams entering into the plant come through this station. The WWTP accepts septage from the county and waste sludge from local package Ps in the region. The station works as a system for grease and grit removal, equalization, and pre-aeration of the waste stream entering the WWTP. The station is over 20 years old and appears to have reached its useful operating life. Problems occur with downstream processes of static screening, and RBC (Attached Growth) biological treatment because of the inefficient operation of this unit. About 10,000 gpd/year of septage are received by this unit. It is suggested the facility make plans to replace/retrofit this unit/process prior to the Septic Receiving Station causing conditions that can contribute to facility non-compliance. The time and assistance of Emory Owen in conducting the Technical Assistance is appreciated.

Temporary Impact for Project: 75 linear feet. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated February 2, 2009 (received February 6, 2009), 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 No. 3704, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. 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 SURFACE WATER PROTECTION SECTION—Asheville Regional Office(ARO) 2090 U.S.70 Highway,Swannanoa,NC 28778-8211 Phone:828-296-4500\FAX:828-299-7043 One Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 NorthCarohna Internet:www.ncwatemuality.org �t�jgo�yr An Equal Opportunity\Affirmative Action Employer Y68 L6 h Mr.J.B. Setzer,PE February 19,2009 Page Two (7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. 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. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,they shall be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project. 3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible following ground disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas. 4. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall be avoided. Stream charnel 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. 5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), 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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged. 6. 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. 7. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. 8. Riprap 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the pen-nit and to the permit drawings submitted for approval. 13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this certification. 15. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized by this certification. 16. 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 B. Setzer,PE .,nrualy 19,2009 Page Three 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. 18. The issuance of this certification does,not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations or 19. The permittee and its authorized 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. 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 or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification 20. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of discovery. 21. Upo N n completion of the project,theCDOT 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. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter.

Please request a permit renewal 180 days prior to expiration. The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year. A new pump has been ordered for the influent pump station. The stairs to Unit 1 are not secured at the bottom and the weld at the top is showing signs of rust. If the weld at the top breaks loose the stairs could fall, resulting in injury. This needs to be fixed. The audible and visual alarms should be made operable even though the facility is equipped with telemetry. A thermometer should be kept in the composite sampler during sampling. A refrigerated sampler would be an ideal solution.

The Town of Newland is doing a good job of caring for its wastewater collection system. Would you please extend my appreciation to the Town Council for supporting the GIS mapping of the Town's wastewater collection system. Charlie is going to retire in a few years and GIS mapping is a good way to capture his knowledge of the Town's collection system before that knowledge is lost. Likewise would you thank the Council for the purchase a "jetter" to assist in maintenance of the collection system. Such a piece of equipment is crucial to proper collection system maintenance.

The u°w Yith operating a collection system goes up each year.Unless the rate structure goesp the cost then operation and maintenance can only suffer. When economic conditions on it on t allow I encourage the Town Council to consider the purchase of a Closed cu Televison Camera for inspection of the interior of sewer lines look at the interior of a sewer will often allow the Town to deal with a situation without diggin up the sewer which in turn will quickly pay for the camera.
