Permit No. NCO033553
Polk Central School WWTP
Polk County
Dear Mr. Miller:
A review of Polk Central School's WWTP monitoring report for December 2010 showed the following
violation:
Parameter Date Limit Value Reported Value Limit Type
BOD, 5-Day(20 Deg. C) - 12/31/10 30 mg/1 33.67 mg/l Monthly Average
Exceeded
Concentration
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem. Since the comments
section on the reverse of the relevant DMR provided an adequate explanation for the subject violation, it is not
requested that a response be submitted.
It was noted that a BOD of>41 mg/l was reported on 12/14/2010 on the December 2010 DMR.
For BOD, the generation of a "greater than"value usually occurs when characteristics of the effluent differ
from what is normally discharged. If laboratories "set up"the test procedures based upon normal conditions, they
may not have the capacity to get an accurate measurement of higher BOD concentrations, hence the reported
"greater than"value. if you are suspicious or aware of conditions at your plant that cause you to believe effluent
pollutant concentrations are beyond their normal levels, you should inform your laboratory of your concern so
modifications to testing procedures can be made.
Remedial actions should be taken to correct this problem. The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement
action for this and any additional violations of State law. If you should have any questions,please do not hesitate to
contact Janet Cantwell at 828/296-4600.

Susan Glenn
Blackberry Sewer System WWTP
Case No. MV-2011-0021
Caldwell County
Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$186.00
($119.00 civil penalty+ $67.00 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report(DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of September 2010. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NCO055611. The violations which occurred in
September 2010 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Susan Glenn violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO055611 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner
and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I,Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against Susan Glenn:

$119.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$186.00 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. 14313-
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.
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

,mining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
.,nsidered:
(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

Dear Mr. Swilling:
This office is in receipt of the information you submitted at the Operator Show-Cause meeting
held in the Asheville Regional Office on April 14, 2011, regarding entries into the ORC logs, sampling
protocol, records, and reporting status for the subject systems. This information satisfies concerns
expressed by this office during the Show Cause meeting. Data collected through logs and reports will
help in trending facility compliance and will provide information needed to make necessary operational
changes when they are required, and supply the necessary documentation for proper site visitation
and facility operation & maintenance, in addition to representative sampling. Please be advised that
submittal of this information does not alleviate you of current or future ORC and Back-up ORC
responsibilities or duties for facilities you operate.
Also, this office gathered from the Show Cause meeting that you had been in the process of adding
'Chlorine Tablets' to the weirs of the WWTP's you operate in order to control algae. This process
`MUST' be discontinued, unless you monitor and report 'Total Residual Chlorine' data for those facilities
at which you do this. Please note rule 15 A NCAC 02B.0506 (a), (1), (D), (i) (ii) and (iii), which state:" In
order to document information contained in reports submitted to the Director pursuant to this Section,
the owner of each pollution control facility is required to retain or have readily available for inspection by
the Division, the following items for a period of at least three years from report submission:
(i) the original laboratory reports from any certified laboratory utilized for sample analysis. Such reports
must be signed by the laboratory supervisor, and must indicate the date and time of sample collection
and analysis, and the analysts'name;
(ii) bench notes and data lops for sample analyses performed by the pollution control facility
staff or operator in responsible charge, whether or not the facility has a certified lab; and
(ifi) copies of all process control testing."

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. 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. 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. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches, basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For establishment of temporary groundcover
within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer-and
lime-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control measures. Discharging
hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a
distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
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 or WS-II) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating stormwater runoff prior
to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.

zer,P.E.
�l
.ree
Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing byNCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
7. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as
closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate.
Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of
structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance
and disrupts aquatic life passage.
8. 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.
9. 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 for maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream
channel shall be temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
10. 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.
1. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval_
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
18. 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.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
21. 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.
2. 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.

23. 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.
24. 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.
25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
26. 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.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter

$388.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$455.00 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. 14313-
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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
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
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Permit: NCO021857 Owner-Facility: Newland WWTP
,pection Date: 04/29/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on
3-10-2010 by Keith Haynes.
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 oxidation ditch process control data was as follows:
Temperature = 14 degrees Celsius
pH = 6.82 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 6.3 mg/I
Note: The DO level was higher than optimum, however, only one ditch is in operation and
the rotor was raised to the highest possible level. The high DO does not appear to have
a negative impact on settling, as the floc appeared stable.
Settleable Solids= 500 ml/I = 50 %
CLARIFIER:
It is recommended that either a couple of v-notches be cut or a couple of small holes be drilled
in the clarifier surface skimmer scum trough wall, to provide a small amount of continuous
surface flow into the scum trough and removal of any surface scum.
EFFLUENT:
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 8.0 mg/1
pH = 6.9 units
Temperature= 15 degrees Celsius
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The effluent Milltronicsis cal'brated annually by B.ultrasonic
Walter Allen Cog(704 366 and totalizing
0031)equipment with
circular chart recorder
SLUDGE MANAGEMENT:
Excess solids are decanted and hauled to the Town of Boone's WWTP.
There are 10 sludge drying beds (20 ft x 15 ft)that contain dried sludge. There are plans to
place a 40 cu yd dumpster at the WWTP so that the dried sludge may be commercially hauled(by E.

$629.50 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-
2 82.1(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:
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 143B-282.I(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

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Coats American Inc. violated the

manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.

(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;

(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:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
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

more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
_ (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 14313-282.1(b)were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);

violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);

was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
_ (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

Dear Mr. Peck:
This letter and report are in follow-up to the Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted
on April 14, 2011. It is also in response to a Representative Outfall Status request.
Representative Outfall Status is not granted at this time. Stormwater Discharge Outfall SDO146-
003 is not considered representative of SDO 146-005. At the time of the inspection SDO 146-005
was discharging. Also,the drainage areas need to be reevaluated; it appears that SDO 146-003
does not receive a similar constitution of wastewater as SDO 146-005.
Please review the enclosed copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains actions
needed and additional observations. The Required Action responses can be mailed or faxed to my
attention at the locations in the footer or emailed to the address below.
Please contact me at(828) 296-4500 or linda.wiggsgncdenngov, if I can be of any further

Permit: NCG020026 Owner-Facility:Vulcan Construction Materials LP
Inspection Date: 04/14/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
The Inspection focused mainly on the quarry Stormwater/Wastewater Discharge Outfall (SDO) locations and their
potential impacts to receiving streams.Vulcan requested Representative Outfall Status(ROS)for SDO 146-005;
requesting SDO 146-003 represents SDO 146-005. Required Action: ROS is not granted, at the time of the inspection
SDO 146-003 was not representative of SDO 146-005.
The Outfall Location Map(Marshall Miller Assoc. 5/27/2010)with the drainage areas depicted does not appear to be
accurate. The SDO locations are not a concern; however the drainage areas need groundtruthing, especially outfall
146-003 drainage area. It did not appear during the inspection that most of the processing area wastewater and
stormwater flowed to outfall 146-003. Required Action: Update the Outfall Location Map to accurately show drainage
areas associated with outfalls, also include if the outfalls are monitored as a Stormwater(SW)or a Wastewater(WIN)
discharge.
SDO 146-005 was discharging process water at the time of the inspection. There was a constant flow of process water
toward two gravel bermed areas that had been created in a sequence. The discharge did not appear to be causing a
turbidity issue in the receiving stream. However,the gravel berms were not serving their purpose as
erosion/sedimentation/stormwater control treatment units. Process water was flowing through the gravel berms with no
retention/treatment. The inspector had concerns that the discharge occurring during the inspection could indicate non
compliance. Please keep in mind NCG020000 Permit Requirement Part III Section A. 2. and 3.b. should be used as a
management tool to avoid non-compliance. Required Action:The facility was instructed to perform additional monitoring
of this SDO to determine if the discharge was compliant. It was suggested the facility sample the SDO 146-005 discharge
at base flow(non storm event), as well as added sampling of the discharge during a storm event.. The facility will likely
need to reconstruct or reconfigure the treatment units to maintain compliance. Sample results obtained from this SDO,
along with any changes or maintenance performed on the treatment unit need to be sent to Asheville Regional Office for
the next two quarters.
The outfall 146-005 drainage area also consists of an asphalt plant, Mid State Contractors. Mid State Contractors was
notified that they need to be covered under a Stormwater Permit(NCG 16). If the companies are interested in sharing
analytical responsibilities at SDO 146-005 the DWQ inspector is ok with Mid State and Vulcan doing so unless compliance U
issues arise or otherwise notified.
Sampling Discharge Outfall requirements for the Vulcan Lenoir facility as noted during the April 2011 inspection were as
follows:
SDO 146-001 sampling required"Quarterly";this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff as well as mine dewatering from the pit.
SDO 146-002 sampling required"Semi-annual';this is considered a stormwater discharge as long as water from process
area during heavy rain events is not flowing here. This outfall is to be sampled according to the vehicle maintenance
requirements.
SDO 146-003 sampling required"Quarterly'; this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff. This drainage area is bermed with gravel along the stock yard perimeter.
The outfall is a single gravel basin/berm area without a discrete conveyance. It is recommended that twice a year during
the qualitative monitoring this perimeter berm is walked and evaluated for effectiveness.
SDO 146-005 sampling required"Quarterly"; this is considered a wastewater discharge because it receives process water
from the process area and gravel pile runoff. The outfall is two gravel berms in a series. See comments above.
Please keep in mind that evaluation of the discharge from your facility is an ongoing event. Unless there is a significant
drought or exceptional basin capacity, analytical monitoring is required. Be careful not to wait until too late in the quarter
to evaluate your discharge, otherwise you may miss a sampling event. As mentioned above, use the NCG020000 Permit
Requirement Part III Section A. 3.b. to stay on top of maintenance and likely discharge events to meet analytical
monitoring expectations.

Comment: Inspection was primarily conducted to determine SDO locations, impacts
and suitability for representative outfall status. A Representative Outfall Status (ROS)
Request Form was received in March 2011 for several Vulcan quarry locations, the
Lenoir facility included.
ROS was requested for SDO 146-005, listing SDO 146-003 as a representative outfall:
All outfall were observed during the inspection.
Representative Outfall Status is not granted.
SDO 146-005 is a wastewater discharge that was discharging at the time of the
inpection. It appeared the wastewater flowing to SDO146-005 was a process water
flowing through the sand pile.

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

..,d, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
,rmining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
insidered:
(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:

was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
_ (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

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. 3820, 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
(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. 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. 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.

In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
5. Compensatory mitigation for the additional 57 linear feet of impact to streams is required. We understand
that you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through an in-lieu payment
to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or 11(WS-I or WS-II)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas,grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating stormwater runoff prior
to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover,erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the following
exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control devices such
as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches, basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples or stakes,or
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not contain a
nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary groundcover
within riparian areas, hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer-and
limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control measures. Discharging
hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a
distance of 25-feet landward from the top of stream bank.
8. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area and stabilized before stream flows are diverted.
Channel relocations will be completed and stabilized, and must be approved on site by NCDWQ staff, prior to
diverting water into the new channel. Whenever possible,channel relocations shall be allowed to stabilize for an
entire growing season. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should
include establishment of a 30 foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical.All stream banks shall be matted with coir fiber matting. Also,
rip-rap may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream,but the applicant must
provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested.
9. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
10. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
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. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum exte'tl.
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
20. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
21. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
oncrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surfaceF
waters.due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. J
22. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
23. 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.
24. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
30. 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: Approval to Relocate and Discharge
from a new Outfall 001 location
Progress Energy Asheville Plant
Permit No: NC0000396
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Whisnant;
On May 10, 2011, the Division received your letter of request to relocate the NPDES
discharge point for outfall 001. 1 understand that this discharge point relocation is necessary to
allow for construction on the facility's 1964 ash pond dam, to enhance the safety of that
structure.
Therefore, I am granting administrative approval for the relocation of outfall 001 in the
French Broad River to a moderate distance from the existing outfall. The change is considered
a repair and maintenance, therefore an Authorization to Construct is not necessary. The new
location can be noted in the renewal of your NPDES permit.
If you or your staff should have any questions, please call me or Wanda Frazier at 828-296-
4500.

Inspection Summary:
Walked site with Jim Caldwell. Facility is mostly under cover. There is one SDO which is difficult to sample, a very heavy
grate has to be lifted in order to sample. Stormdrain system connects to adjacent industry(Associated Hardwood/Jordan
Holman). Facility sample results from 6-15-10 were compliant. There are a couple of areas, as noted in photos taken
during inspection,where housekeeping may need to be improved if future samples indicate benchmark exceedances.
However,the facility on the day of inspection appeared to be well maintained.

requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover,erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the following
exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control devices such
as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches, basins, etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples or stakes, or
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not contain a
nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary groundcover
within riparian areas,hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer-and
limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control measures. Discharging
hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a
distance of 25-feet landward from the top of stream bank.

Jr., P.E.
For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating storm
water runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged.
7. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
8. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
9. 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.
10. 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 for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. 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.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
A. 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.

Mr.J. J. Swain,Jr.,P.E.

22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherw.,
authorized by this certification.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. 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.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or-%
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center,Raleigh,N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification,you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty(60)days following receipt of the
Certification. Unless such demands are made,this Certification shall be final and binding.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by Weldon Peek, Gary MacMahan and Willie Breedlove. A tour was conducted 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. 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.
It was determined that outfall 107-006 is not an official outfall and can be removed from the site plan. 006 discharges to
the basin that disharges through 107-001.
During the visit, the following was clarified:
> 107-001 discharges wastewater
> 107-002 discharges stormwater from the vehicle maintenance area
All other outfalls discharge only stormwater.
Representative Outfall Status has been granted where:
> 107-010 represents 107-003, 107-008 and 107-009

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 3, 2011 (received May 5, 2011),
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. 3820, 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

or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H`
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to he valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and u,
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. 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. 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,,--,l
project. �J
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. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria prescribed by the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission.
5. Compensatory mitigation for impacts 278 linear feet of streams at a replacement ratio of l:l is required.
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional streams shall be provided by onsite stream relocations
of 278 linear feet of an unnamed tributary of Thompson Creek. The onsite stream relocation shall be
constructed in accordance with the design submitted in your May 3, 2011 application. All on-site mitigation
sites shall be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement or through NCDOT fee simple acquisition
and recorded in the NCDOT Natural Environment Unit mitigation geodatabase. Please be reminded that as-
builts for the completed streams shall be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401
Wetlands Unit with the as-builts for the rest of the project. If the parameters of this condition are not met,
then the permittee shall supply additional stream mitigation for the 278 linear feet of impacts. All channel
relocations will be constructed in a dry work area, will be completed and stabilized, and must be approved on
site by DWQ staff, prior to diverting water into the new channel. Whenever possible, channel relocations
shall be allowed to stabilize for an entire growing season. All stream relocations shall have a 50-foot wide
native wooded buffer planted on both sides of the stream unless otherwise authorized by this Certification. A
transitional phase incorporating rolled erosion control product (RECP) and appropriate temporary ground
cover is allowable.
6. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters, streams and
wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than -
48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow,
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or

.E.
Aks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
avidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
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. Channel relocations shall be completed and stabilized, and approved on-site by DWQ staff, prior to diverting water
into the new channel. Stream banks shall be mated with coir-fiber matting. Vegetations used for bank stabilization
shall be limited to native riparian vegetation, and should include establishment of a vegetated buffer on both sides of
the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. Also rip-rap may be allowed if necessary to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to
determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. Once the stream has been turned into the new channel, it may be
necessary to relocate stranded fish to the new channel to prevent fish kills.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
11. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
3. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
16. 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.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
18. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
19. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.

regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) havt,
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion any.,
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
24. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
25. 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.

Response deadline: June 17, 2011
Dear Mr. Coram:
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. Wildflower Creek, LLC is not a legally registered entity with the NC Secretary of State.
Please provide proof of registration for the applicant with the NC Secretary of State.
2. Application Item 5.g. indicates that the previous land owner constructed a dam within the
wetland to impound water. As you may be aware, the Division of Water Quality views
unauthorized impacts in violation of North Carolina Administrative Code as transferring
with the change of ownership of the property. You have not provided a purpose and need
for the desired impoundment nor a purpose and need for the wetland fill for RV parking.
Why are these impacts necessary for the successful operation of the Motor Coach
Restort?
3. Application Item D. 1. a. requests a discussion of steps taken to avoid and minimize
impacts to waters of the State. Please provide all alternative layouts for avoiding
wetlands and a discussion as to the issues associated with each.

4. Application Item D. 1. b. states that a pump around will be utilized in all work areas. N�
plan details were provided for said pump around. You must provide schematics along
with hydraulic calculations for your pump around activity.
5. Application Item D. 2. States that onsite mitigation will be provided. The associated
mitigation plan provides a wetland functionality assessment(NC-WAM) worksheet. A
review of the NC-WAM training files indicates that the consultant has not taken the
necessary training course for this procedure. Additionally, the are several fundamental
flaws in the NC-WAM worksheet which would skew the results. In order to use the NC-
WAM tool as a measure of the success of your mitigation, you must have the assessment
performed by someone who has successfully completed the NC-WAM training complete
the assessment worksheet,
6. Application Item E. 2. Indicates that, at build out,that the impervious surface for the site
is 19.7%. No worksheet or map was provided to show how this was determined. You
must include your mapping and calculations for this determination. Additionally, all
future development of the site must be included in these calculations.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to close of business on June 17,
2011. Four copies of the required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:

Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this perm,
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. 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. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat, millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the following
exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control devices such
as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples or stakes,or
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not contain a
nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary groundcover
within riparian areas,hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer-and
limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control measures. Discharging
hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a
distance of 25-feet landward from the top of stream bank.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout Jr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSJ, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating storm
water runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged. '

.E.
,ess otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
,pall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NC provide
DWQ. If this condition i
unable
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for gu dan ebe
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
8. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
9. 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.
10. 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 for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. 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.
12. 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 s
following completion of construction. g g season
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. 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.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
21. 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.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of
protected riparian buffers. the U.S., or

caused by streambank stabilization. Such an application is required pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act and Part 15A of North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .050t,
Please note that Sandy Mush Creek is classified as trout waters and any land disturbance within 25
feet of the top of the stream bank may require authorization from the Division of Land Resources
(DLR). DLR has been copied on this correspondence.
REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWQ requests that you respond by May 13,2011. Your response should be sent to the
attention of Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC
28778 and should address the following items:
1. Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2) and Failure to Secure a 401 Water
Quality Certification
a. Please explain why these impacts occurred without prior authorization.
b. Please provide a map of the project area. The map must include all streams and
wetlands on-site, detailing all impacts(i.e., culverts and/or fill).
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit pertaining
to the streambank stabilization that has occurred. A 401 WQC will be required if
the activities are permitted by the Corps. The application process as described does
not guarantee the impacts will be approved.
2. Restore the stream to pre-existing conditions.
a. includes the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
If pursuing Option 1:
1. Contact the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting needs of
the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is (828)
271-7980.
2. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification(401 WQC application) submitted to DWQ.

If pursuing Option 2
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. You
must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to assist you
with development of your plan and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.
The plan must include the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
It is recommended that your consultant contact Chuck Cranford of the Asheville
Regional Office for additional guidance during plan development. The plan should
include the following:
b. A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and complete
the restoration work.
c. Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a recommendation
for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Quality regarding these issues and any
future/continued violations that may be encountered. Your above-mentioned response to this
correspondence will be considered in this process. This office requires that the violations,as
detailed above,be abated immediately. These violations and any future violations are
subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Should
you have any questions regarding these matters,please contact Chuck Cranford at(828)296-4664.

SUBJECT: NPDES Stormwater Permit Site Inspection
Henderson County Transfer Station
Unpermitted (Currently)
Henderson County
Response Due: June 20, 2011
Dear Ms. Berry:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater site inspection conducted on April 28, 2011.
Ms. Andrea Keller, Division of Waste Management Asheville Regional Office (ARO), was also
present during the site inspection.
The following items were discussed and will need to be addressed:
1. Henderson County must apply for an NCG130000 industrial stormwater permit. A Notice
of Intent was presented to,you during the inspection. An additional copy has been attached
for your use (along with th6l,Technical Bulletin for NCG130000 facilities). A fee of$100
made payable to the Division'of Water Quality,is also required with the application.
2. As part of the application, all stormwater outfalls associated with the recycling area should
be identified. As we discussed, please provide written confirmation that the stormwater
outfalls (drop inlets) near the transfer station are directed to the pump station that
ultimately goes to the sanitary sewer. If any drop inlets near the transfer station are not
directed to the sanitary sewer, please identify their ultimate destination to surface waters
and note them as a stormwater outfall.
3. On-site vehicle maintenance is conducted in the garage by the transfer station. As we
discussed, there is a floor drain that may or may not be discharging to the sanitary sewer
(pump station) on-site. The floor drain pathway should be identified/confirmed. As long
as vehicle maintenance activities are conducted inside the garage and the floor drain is
directed to the sanitary sewer, analytical monitoring associated with stormwater from this
activity will not be required. However, there should be no exposure of used oil, hydraulic
fluid, etc. On the day of the inspection, some spent oil was noted on soils outside the
garage. This should be prevented in the future (or the County may be subject to analytical
monitoring associated with vehicle maintenance).

4. With regard to convenience center/public drop-off,the Division understands that this arc
will be moved after construction of the new area, which is currently in progress. Until that
time,there is an area with roll-off/garbage collection(sitting below the convenience area)
that should be identified. It would be beneficial to Henderson County to prevent, as much
as possible, direct conveyance of stormwater to the nearby tributary. Qualitative
monitoring should be conducted at this area if there is no way to prevent the conveyance of
stormwater to the tributary.
5. It was noted during the inspection that the area of electronics collection,battery collection,
etc. had some exposure (overflow from the covered area). This should be prevented as
much as possible; otherwise this should be considered an outfall for qualitative monitoring.
The Division understands that this area will also be moved after completion of
construction.
6. As discussed during the inspection, sediment loss was noted from the new construction
area. The original in-line basins (likely constructed with the original landfill site,that is
now closed),appeared to be full of newer sediment; likely,there are also impacts to the
surface waters upstream of these basins. After the site is stabilized, a follow-up inspection
will be conducted to fully determine the potential impact and determine a course of action
to restore the surface waters. This area should be monitored and sediment should be
prevented from migrating beyond the in-line basins.
7. Another issue with the new construction was noted near the transfer station. As with the
area discussed in Item 96, Henderson County should ensure that no sediment is lost from
this area(which includes discussing this with the on-site contractor; should existing
measures not prevent sediment loss to surface waters, additional erosion control measures
may be necessary, as you are aware). Please confirm who is responsible for the
construction stormwater monitoring at the site.
Please respond to the above items by June 20, 2011. Feel free to contact me at(828) 296-4665 or

Additional comments:
Work underway on the project includes grading and pipe work.
All areas that have been graded and no construction has taken place in the last 14 days should be seeded and
mulched. Seeding needs to keep pace with the construction.
The area around the stream culvert that has been installed should be seeded and matted.
The new stream channel that has been excavated should be stabilized to prevent sediment from flowing down
the channel into the stream. It is recommended that the
All erosion control devices should be checked for proper operation.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding,matting and mulching as required to
protect State surface waters.
