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 note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources 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).

I am writing this letter to express my concern regarding your decision not to connect to municipal water at this time. I have spoken with numerous residents who also have reservations about connecting to the water line. Chief among these is the concern over a monthly utility bill. I acknowledge that this could be a financial burden to many of the residents in the neighborhood Some households - - with contaminant--free groundwater have the luxury of not connecting.Your water supply well is contaminated and will likely remain so for some time. The decision not connect to the new water line may have real implications for your health.' The results of a water sample collected in December 2012 showed the presence of the pesticide dieldrin.The concentration of dieldrin in your water supply well is 55 times higher than what is considered safe by North Carolina's groundwater standard.A health risk evaluation that accompanied the laboratory results recommended not using your well for all household uses including cooking, drinking,and showering. Dieldrin builds up in the body over time and is a suspected carcinogen. It can also affect liver function and compromise the immune system. Recent grant funding for the new water line provides any resident in the Academy Road neighborhood the opportunity to connect free of charge during the period of construction. If residents try to connect later on then the normal connection fees ($1700)would apply. The Bernard Allen Emergency Drinking Water Fund is currently paying for bottled water service and well abandonment for all qualified residents. Connecting to municipal water also has the added benefit of increasing your property value and marketability of your home. Please know that I would not make this impassioned plea if I did not think it was absolutely necessary for the protection of your health.After reviewing all of the options, such as home filtration systems,we concluded that the municipal waterline was the only viable way to provide safe drinking water. Please take a moment to reconsider your decision.

The sample was submitted for laboratory analyses for Pesticides and Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs). Pesticides were detected in the water sample as shown on the attached sheets. Because Pesticides were detected in the water sample,a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE)of the water supply was performed by our toxicologist. The HRE,which is enclosed,compares the concentration of detected contaminants to acceptable concentrations and provides a recommendation for acceptable uses of the water. The Bernard Allen Memorial Fund("Fund")was established to help provide alternate water sources for home owners throughout North Carolina who might otherwise not able to afford to provide alternate water for themselves in situations where the primary drinking water source well has become contaminated.Qualification for use of the Fund is required for each site.Attached you will find a Household Income Verification Affidavit to be completed and returned to our office.Please call upon receipt of the affidavit to provide your phone number so the Fund Administrator can schedule its contractor to deliver bottled water until a permanent solution can be arranged. In accordance with the residential property disclosure act,it is your responsibility to disclose this contamination as part of the property sale. You should also notify all current and future tenants of your property of the contamination detected in your well.

One of the contaminants, dieldrin,was detected at a concentration exceeding the applicable water standards. The standards used to determine if the water is suitable for drinking and cooking are the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) or, if no MCLs exist,North Carolina Groundwater Standards (2L). If any contaminant concentrations exceed applicable standards for using the water for drinking and cooking, those contaminant concentrations are further analyzed to determine if the water is suitable for other household uses, such as showering,bathing, washing dishes, flushing toilets, and hand washing.

This is the first notification that ARO staff received from the Town/operator that both aerators were down. On 3/5/2014, staff visited the site to assess the condition of the plant and water being discharged. The equipment failure, which consisted of two broken aerators, limited the treatment ability of the plant causing degradation of the quality of the water being discharged from the plant to the French Broad River. This inspection indicated an overall upset status of the plant and short circuiting of the clarifier. Operational changes were instituted at the facility to limit any environmental impact to the receiving waters. Replacement parts and repairs were underway but not expected to be fully operational until later the following week with water quality able to return to permit compliance conditions once one of the two broken aerators was brought back online. Grab samples(fecal,BOD,TSS)of the effluent were taken along with pictures during the inspection. The local health department was also notified. DENR required the Town of Marshall to sample bacteria levels in the French Broad River and waste water leaving the facility daily until consistent compliance was demonstrated. The sampling results from the inspection were: BOD: 80mg/I TSS: 36 mg/I Fecal: 14000 CFU/100ml A synopsis of the events which lead to both aerators being down is as follows; January 3, 2014, Brush Aerator#1 experiences gearbox failure and is taken offline for repair. January 15, 2014, Town Council approved funding to repair the broken aerator, parts are ordered, and the unit is put in the shop. March 2, 2014, Brush Aerator#2 experiences gearbox failure and is taken offline for repair. March 4, 2014, Effluent samples indicate that the WWTP is starting to shift out of compliance. March 5, 2014, the state is informed of the equipment failures. March 7, 2014, NCDENR began requiring daily upstream, downstream, and effluent fecal coliform sampling until compliance is demonstrated. March 10, 2014, Town staff installed the new gearbox on brush aerator# 1. Normal WWTP operation is reinstated. March 13, 2014, Sampling done by the Town indicated that the WWTP was able to achieve compliance with permit limits. A follow-up inspection was conducted on March 20th, 2014, and the newly repaired aerator was observed in operation. The color in the aeration ditch signified that the basin was getting adequate air. The clarifier was not short circuiting and was free of solids. Samples taken during that inspection by the inspector indicated that the facility has returned to compliance.

Getting Irwin, Trustee Via email—jean5irwin@grnail.com Subject: Request for Additional Information Seawall for Jean Irwin Dear Ms. Irwin: The Division of Water Resources (Division)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification application submitted for the above referenced project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on-hold until all of the following information is received: 1. Photographic documentation of existing conditions (including reference to scale) 2. A drawing of the site including impact footprint 3. According to information provided by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, shoreline stabilization projects eliminate shallow-water habitat for fishes and invertebrates. To help offset those losses,the WRC recommends the following: a. Vegetation along the shoreline to provide spawning and rearing habitats b. Walls being installed for shoreline stabilization should be constructed of dry-stack boulders with natural boulders or rip-rap along the.base or toe of the wall to also provide fish habitat. Materials placed at the toe or base of walls can also dissipate wave energy, thereby helping protect the wall from undermining and collapse Please provide details in the drawings and discussion as to how your project will offset the habitat losses inherent to seawall construction. If all of the requested information is not received in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter,the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application package and the ,appropriate fee.

This office understands that alternate water was made available to the subject resident and an adjacent property. This letter outlines those items we have determined to be deficient in the Work Plan to achieve compliance with 15A NCAC 2L.0106(g)for the area of interest. For purposes of this letter,the area of interest includes the general area located between the 1982 historic ash pond footprint and the supply wells on Bear Leah Trail (referred to here as the`area of interest'). The Division is requiring Duke Energy Progress to complete a comprehensive site assessment and submit a site assessment report in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L.0106(g)within 120 days of receipt of this letter.This assessment is limited to the area of interest and in no manner precludes subsequent assessment requirements for this facility or any portion thereof. The following observations outline groundwater issues within the area of interest and are the basis for the required assessment: • The private water supply wells on Bear Leah Trail (supply wells) referenced in the Work Plan are located in an area that appears-to be hydraulically connected to the Asheville Plant's 1982 coal ash A, pond. Samples collected from the supply wells on various dates indicate the presence of Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,North Carolina 28778 Phone:828-296-4500 FAX:828-299-7043 Internet:http://portal.ncdenr.orglweb/wq An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Duke Energy Progress,Ina \ May 9,2014 Page 2 of 5 constituents detected in facility compliance wells(refer to the Civil Action for Injunctive Relief dated March 22, 2013)and commonly associated with coal ash; \ • CB-311 contains concentrations of thallium, boron, iron,and manganese above NCAC 15A 2L \ groundwater standards,as well as selenium and potentially elevated TDS. CB-3,the compliance well that was replaced by CB-311,contains concentrations of thallium, boron, iron, and manganese above 2L standards and potentially elevated TDS. CB-311 is a well located on the facility's compliance boundary; • CB-4 contains manganese above the 2L standard,as well as boron, selenium,and potentially elevated sulfate and TDS. CB-413,the paired bedrock well to CB-4,contains iron above the 2L standard,arsenic,and potentially elevated sulfate and TDS; and, • CB-5, a shallow compliance well located in the flood plain,contains iron and manganese above the 2L standards, as well as boron and potentially elevated chloride and TDS. Detectable, naturally occurring concentrations of thallium, boron,selenium, and arsenic would not be expected in this setting. To achieve compliance with 15A NCAC 2L.0106(g),the comprehensive site assessment for the area of interest shall include: 1. The source and cause of contamination; 2. Any imminent hazards to public health and safety and actions taken to mitigate them in accordance with Paragraph (f)of this Rule; 3. All receptors and significant exposure pathways; 4. The horizontal and vertical extent of soil and groundwater contamination and all significant factors affecting contaminant transport;and, S. Geological and hydrogeological features influencing the movement,chemical, and physical character of the contaminants. The Division requests a meeting with you to provide and discuss more specific,technical components of the required assessment necessary to achieve compliance with the cited regulation. Specific comments related to the review of the submitted Water Supply Well Assessment Work Plan are as follows: 1. Please note that any data from proposed monitoring wells AMW2 and AMW26 would not be valid for purposes of determining compliance with NPDES Permit NC0000396 and (or) 15A NCAC 02L. Please refer to the Division correspondence dated August 22,2012. 2. Groundwater quality data from other Duke facilities and from wells in geologic formations that differ lithologically from those at the Asheville Plant are not relevant to site conditions at the Asheville Plant and should not be used for formal comparison purposes(see relevant text and table 1 in the Work Plan). 3. Well CB-5 is referred to by the contractor as a 'background well'for the Asheville Plant. The Division does not agree that this well is representative of background conditions and this well should not be used in this context without additional information supporting its use as representative of background conditions. Additional flood plain background wells are needed to better characterize background conditions and vertical flow characteristics in the flood plain,the locations of which can be determined during upcoming discussions. If additional data indicate that CB-5 is in fact representative of background conditions, its use in this context would be appropriate. 4. The contractor states that the un-named spring-fed tributary is a groundwater divide that separates the water supply wells from groundwater flow emanating from the Asheville Plant. The Division )j does not agree that this tributary represents a divide that would intercept all groundwater moving press,Inc. from the facility in this area and maintains that some amount of underflow is possible and (or) likely. Vertical head gradients obtained from nested webs(shallow,transition zone,and bedrock) in the area of the stream may be used, in conjunction with analysis of hydrogeologic characteristics, to evaluate this possibility,along with other assessment tools such as tri-linear diagrams(Piper or Stiff)and/or whisker(box)plots of data from monitor wells,supply wells,tributary base flow,and the French Broad River that will help identify differences between water quality"types". 5. The contractor states that one or more staff gages may be installed to measure the hydraulic gradient between the plant,the creek,and the Bear Leah Trail well locations. It is unclear what is proposed and how staff gages can be used for the stated purpose. While survey-leveled staff gages and adjacent streamside piezometers may be used to assess whether and when shallow groundwater flows into or out of the tributary in question,the Division believes that this method of evaluation would be inappropriate for evaluating deeper flow patterns, including potential underflow. 6. Constituent occurrence and distribution should be evaluated using nested wells(shallow,transition zone,and bedrock)along transects of presumed groundwater flow. For each transect,a nest should be installed immediately adjacent to the respective ash pond (or other source),at an approximate midpoint(or other agreed upon location) along the presumed flow path,and at a location adjacent to the French Broad River. Additional nests may be needed to adequately understand and document groundwater movement and contaminant transport in the three flow systems. 7. Streams and newly installed monitor wells should be sampled for the same list of constituents and geochemical parameters as compliance boundary wells. In addition,the use of isotopes and other fingerprinting approaches is recommended,which may include boron, molybdenum,strontium, radium, and others. Tritium analyses from supply wells may also be helpful in understanding groundwater flow paths, residence times, etc. 8. The report does not mention the potential impact that supply well pumping may have on groundwater flow paths and contaminant transport. The assessment should specifically address this and its implications for data collection and interpretation. 9. Inorganic speciation is needed for selected constituents to better understand the relationship between geochemistry and dissolution dynamics and should be addressed in future assessment and evaluation activities. 10. Evidence suggests that Bear Leah Trail wells are in hydraulic communication with groundwater moving from the plant,whether by fracture connectivity,well pumping stresses, mounded ash pond conditions,or otherwise. Any suggestion that groundwater flow mirrors topography should include a caveat to acknowledge these factors and their potential role in contaminant transport. Additional data, including horizontal and vertical potentiometric data, isotopic chemistry,and well construction integrity,for example, may be collected and used tore-evaluate the source of constituents to the supply wells. 11. Please show Piper and (or)Stiff diagrams in lieu of pie charts for all compliance wells, (selected) voluntary wells,supply wells,stream samples,and wells referred to as background. Diagrams should reflect a single date (rather than using averaged values,for example)and should state whether ionic balances were achieved. If a given sample location does not have adequate major ion analyses to create these diagrams, please note this. 12. In reference to Section 2.0 titled "Evaluation of Potential Health Risks",the health risk evaluations pertinent to this assessment were determined by toxicologists of the Department of Health and Human Services in consultation with the Division. . 13. The detection frequency of iron and manganese also are presented in this section. The salient point is not frequency of detection (these metals are commonly known to occur in nearly all groundwater), rather,observed concentrations. Particularly high concentrations are not common Duke Energy Progress,Inc. May 9,2014 Page 4 of 5 and are the result of local geology,geochemistry of ambient groundwater(a solubility control), a i,. (or) nearby sources that can introduce these constituents or alter the geochernistry'of the local groundwater system. Determining the extent to which each of these mechanisms contributes to observed concentrations should be a key goal of the assessment and should be addressed in the assessment report. Similarly, literature ranges are not particularly useful since they present values observed in wells whose local geology is unknown and whose constituent source and mobility mechanism could be natural or anthropogenic. Please also note that groundwater concentrations of iron, manganese,and other constituents of concern observed in locations not proximate to the area of interest are not relevant to the evaluation. A number of references are cited in the Work Plan indicating average or median concentrations observed in various states, regions, and rock types,and,while of interest in a very broad,generic sense,these values are not indicative of the site specific conditions in the area of interest. For example,Chapman et.al.,(2013), referenced on page 17 of the Work Plan compiles data from 346 wells, none of which occurs in Buncombe or surrounding counties or in the geology specific to the area of interest. 14. When presenting background and well data,the use of maximum and average constituent values should be avoided. High values may result from elevated turbidity,for example,that is caused by well construction or development issues that are not representative of aquifer conditions and which may have been subsequently corrected. Average values can be skewed by high values(even one). Anomalous high values associated with turbidity,for example,should be flagged in text and charts. A more meaningful metric is the median. "Box and whisker" plots are also useful and recommended. In some cases formal statistical testing may be appropriate or required,depending on the purpose of the comparison. Documentation of local conditions,using physical data unique to the local area, is needed for relevant and meaningful interpretations and comparisons to background. 15. Please provide the reference for the statement that average thallium concentrations in groundwater and streams are 7.25 µg/L and 0.02 µg/L, respectively. These values do not align with levels routinely observed by the Division,including levels observed in impacted wells downgradient of the unlined Asheville coal ash ponds. Please see comment 13 above. 16. A discussion of total versus filtered metals is missing from the Work Plan. While an analysis of total metals is required for compliance sampling,analyses of filtered (dissolved) metals is highly recommended to better understand sources of constituent concentrations. In some cases(for example, in the evaluation of colloidal transport),the use of filters smaller than 0.45 µm may be desirable. Please refer to the Division's May 13,2013 policy regarding metals determinations. Additionally, please also refer to 15A NCAC 02C.0108(p) regarding well development in relation to chemical analyses. 17. Cores of sediment and rock(land surface to total well depth)should be collected in the location of proposed well nests to better understand groundwater flow matrices, preferential flow horizons, and the chemistry of selected whole rock and sorptive coatings. These data will be useful in refining the site conceptual model,evaluating groundwater flow paths and potential receptors,and analyzing the factors that control metals mobility and attenuation. 18. The Work Plan states that PZ-22 will be sampled in order to fingerprint on-site groundwater as a basis of comparison to offsite groundwater. Because of potential differences in geology across the site,varying geochemistry and constituent concentrations across the site,and changes in coal composition and pollution control measures over time,data from additional on-site wells should be used for this purpose. The site should be fingerprinted using historic data from all voluntary and compliance wells,as well as future data collected from compliance wells,AW wells, pond water, and ash leachate. The Division will consider fingerprints that are grouped by area of the facility (NW,W,S,for example). Newly collected data should include,at a minimum,all constituents normally analyzed at compliance wells. It is recommended that boron, molybdenum, strontium, cress,Inc. and radium isotopes also be included to (potentially) better define the coal ash fingerprint. Other constituents and (or) isotopes may be appropriate as well. It is recommended that these data be presented in tabular form on an oversized sheet(landscape orientation)with constituents listed across the top and sample locations listed down the side. 19. Please provide an orthophoto map similar to the Compliance Boundary Well map(Figure 5) provided in the Site Conceptual Model Report of April 2013,that contains the same base map elements and includes all identified supply wells to the south,all voluntary wells,compliance wells, and sampled stream and outfall locations. At each of these sampled locations please include a label with the screened interval(for wells),the water level as measured on a chosen historic date,and the boron concentration as measured on another chosen date(or dates)at that location. 20. An adequate number of bedrock wells are needed to create and present reliable potentiometric maps for the bedrock flow system. The same is also true of the transition zone and the shallow flow systems. in some cases the shallow and transition zone may act as, and be mapped as,a single flow system;however,data showing near neutral vertical head gradients in nested shallow and transition zone wells should be presented to demonstrate the validity of this approach. 21. While the Work Plan focuses on impacts to the supply wells and the assessment of groundwater, impacts to surface water in the area of interest should also be evaluated in the context of its interaction with groundwater. To this end,the assessment should present and incorporate any analytical data collected in the area of interest during the surface water sampling event of March 10 and 11, 2014.

Box 4000 Canton NC 28716 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY NOD-2014-PC-0105 Canton Mill Permit No: NC0000272 Haywood County Dear Mr.Griswold: Enclosed please find a copy of the completed Compliance Evaluation Inspection form for the inspection conducted on "'pril 16, 2014. The compliance evaluation inspection was conducted by Jeff Menzel and Landon Davidson of the ,Asheville Regional Office. Mr.John Pryately and Mr. Nick McCracken were also present during the inspection. During the inspection it was observed that the effluent composite sample was not being collected in accordance with the standard conditions of NPDES permit NC0000272 and 15A NCAC 02B .0503(4). Currently, the facility runs process control using flow proportional samples pulled every 8 hours to monitor any shifts or trends which may be occurring in the effluent. These three, 8-hour flow proportional samples are then blended, with equal amounts from each, to produce the composite samples which are used for final reporting. It is the blending of the three individual 8-hour composite samples by equal amounts which is non-compliant.To achieve compliance, the permitee shall use a 24-hour flow proportional composite sample for reporting requirements and use another sampler to run their 8-hour process control checks. The Division is requiring Blue Ridge Paper to begin collection of composite samples in accordance with the permit and above-referenced rule within 14 days of receipt of this Notice. In an effort to evaluate any measurable differences between your current sample collection methodology and the required methodology,samples are to be collected using both methods for a period of 60 days. Samples collected using your current method (i.e.,8-hour intervals with blending of equal volumes)are to be analyzed using only color and TSS.Samples collected using the approved methodology(refer to permit and above-referenced rule) are to be analyzed for those parameters listed in your permit and reported in accordance with your permit. Within 90 days,the Division is requiring you to submit a narrative comparing and contrasting any observed differences between the two data sets.Statistical methods are recommended in this evaluation. If Blue Ridge Paper determines that 60 days of sampling is inadequate for comparative purposes or that alternate parameters in addition to color are necessary, please provide an explanation and recommendation to the Division to this regard.

The permitee should be using a 24-hour flow proportional composite sample for reporting requirements and use another sampler to run their 8-hour checks. The permit definition for this type of flow proportional sampling is as follows; PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the �— l expected total daily flow at the treatment system. The Division is requiring Blue Ridge Paper to immediately begin collection of 24-hour composite samples in accordance with the permit and above-referenced rule. In an effort to evaluate any measurable differences between your current sample collection methodology and the required methodology, samples are to be collected using both methods for a period of 60 days.

The sample was collected as a follow up to a sample collected January 21,2014. The January 21st sample was collected from the well head and contained iron at 4,700 µg/1. A Health Risk Evaluation completed for the January 21 st sample by your office recommended the water not be used for drinking and cooking unless a water treatment system is installed to remove the iron.The sample collected March 3 1"was collected after passing through the water treatment system. During the March 31,2014 site visit,the hose bib was continually purged for 30 minutes. A water sample was collected after the 30 minute purge and an approximate purge volume of 90 gallons,and analyzed for iron.Iron was detected in the March 31 st sample at 3,000 µg/1. Please review the analytical results for iron and provide a health risk evaluation for the drinking water supply. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828)296-4684.

The samples are denoted with"front"and"rear"in the sample name to distinguish the two samples. The samples were collected due to their proximity to a neighboring well in which dieldrin was detected in excess of the 15A NCAC 2L .0202 groundwater standard. During the March 19,2014 site visit, each well was continually purged for 20 minutes.A sample was collected from each well after the 20 minute purge and an approximate purge volume of 80 gallons,and analyzed for selected metals, chlorinated pesticides,phosphorus-based pesticides,and nitrogen-based pesticides.No pesticides were detected and no metals were detected in excess of their 2L standard in either sample. Please review the analytical results and provide a health risk evaluation for each of the water samples. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828)296-4684.

This permit will expire October 31, 2015. This facility contains no Bar Screen which is required by and present on the NPDES permit. A Standby Power Source, required by the permit, is also not available. Both the Bar Screen and Standby Power Source are to be operated and maintained per"Part II, Section C. Operation and Maintenance of Pollution Controls" of the NPDES permit. This facility's grease traps are pumped on a once a month cycle. An extra pump is available when needed. The float control was tested during the inspection and was operable. The audible and visual alarms were also operational. This facility has dual aeration basins. ORC stated the DO runs between 2.5 mg/I &2.6 mg/ I in both basins. Use of a"sludge judge" is always recommended to help keep track of the solids. In the clarifier the blanket was within about 12"from the top in one of the basins; due to murky water the inspector could not see the depth in the other basin. ORC stated they check the TRC weekly and it runs between 1.0 ug/I and >2 ug/ I. The facility has a standard well meter which is used to record the flow. The ORC has put the sampler tubing on a semi-annual change-out. The tubing inside the sampler was clean, however, the tubing coming from the clarifier was greenish and needs to be cleaned or replaced. Refrigeration temperature for the Sampler was at 0 degrees C. Please be reminded that 0 degrees C is at the freezing mark and the samples could freeze. Slightly raising the temperature of the Sampler would be beneficial Effluent coming from the dischage pipe was clear.

I met with Erny Williams and Dewayne Elliot with the City of Saluda and Juanita James with James and James Environmental. Their time and efforts are appreciated. There are areas of the City's system that need your immediate attention. The system is non-compliant primarily because parts of the system in the Cullipher Street area are so decayed they are illegally discharging. Another area of concern is related to the surging manhole upstream of the HWY 176 pump station. Refer to the enclosed inspection report for detailed observations and comments related to items that need your attention. Please provide a detailed written response on how you plan to address the items listed in this letter and the attached inspection report within fifteen (15) days to this office.

The sewer system is quite old.There have not been any SSOs reported, so it appears the added testing and inspections the town performs are assisting at managing this aged system. However, continued and increased efforts to upgrade this system are essential. Discussed during the inspection was the planned replacement of—2200'of sewer lines in the next 2-3 years, as well as adding the rehabilitation of manholes as a funding priority. Areas of concern needing immediate attention and response: During the field inspection manholes in the area of Cullipher were evaluated. Manholes in this area must be a priority for repair.The manholes evaluated are non-compliant. One manhole is so decayed is it no longer carrying the wastestream; the wastestream comes in one end and infiltrates through the disintegrated bottom;there is also a waterline in this manhole.Another manholes bottom was so decayed the invert was no longer discernable; it also reportedly receives stormwater flows during rain events. The manhole upstream of the HWY 176 PS was surging. The manhole is located at a restaurant and was visited during the peak hours of operation. It is unclear why the manhole was surging. The town needs to evaluate this situation. The Dip PS appears to need to be on an increased pumping schedule, as well as an increase education (FOG)program.

Comment: One restaurant flows to this pump station (PS). This PS is set up for two pumps, but only one is used. This PS is aged, there.was no record found on design. The town chooses to operate this PS as a simplex at their own risk. There have not been overflows reported at this PS, however the manhole upstream was surging at the time of the inspection. The town needs to evaluate the cause of this surge and report back to the inspector. The control panel is aged and could use an update. The PS sits at the bottom of a slope and is likely receiving run-on of stormwater from the road. The town needs to evaluate this situation and remedy this immediately.

Comment: This PS has a nursing home flowing to it. This PS is set up the same regarding pumps, see previous comments. This PS is pumped at the same frequency as the other which is twice a year. However, this PS appeared to need more frequent pumping. The first chamber had excessive debris. It is also suggested the nursing home adminstration and upstream residents be notified on their responsibilities as users to keep grease, debris etc. out of the sewerline. The control panel could use updating. Page: 11 NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory John E.

The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on-hold until all of the following information is received; 1. Sheet C-104 includes what appear to be final contours after sediment removal above the dam (labeled 70-78). Confirm this information. If the depicted lines are final contours,provide discussion on the stability of the constructed form. 2. Estimation of depth of sediment at the dam location and volume to be removed. 3. According to a visual survey,bedrock outcrops become visible approximately 500 feet above the dam location,likely indicating the approximate elevation of the original stream channel. Downstream of that distance, sediment appeared to inundate the channel to an indeterminate depth. Discuss the anticipated disposition(e.g.,tendency for the sediment to be displaced [headcut] and rate thereof) and volume of the remaining sediment. 4. Discuss the anticipated downstream effects of the redistribution of the remaining sediment. 5. Discuss any sediment management options considered during project design, including measures to mimic natural sediment transport, so as to avoid possible contravention of water quality standards related to Best Usage of Waters and Other Wastes(sediment). 6. Additional sediment removal upstream of the coffer dam location, returning the streambed to a more natural elevation, could prevent possible significant sediment loading downstream. Was more extensive sediment removal considered?Please provide details regarding this possibility.

I am writing this letter because you and several other homeowners with contaminated wells have not signed the water line easement despite receiving notification from the City of Hendersonville.You need to be aware that refusing to sign the easement is delaying the water line extension. I have spoken with several residents who have reservations about connecting to the municipal water line. Chief among these is the concern over a monthly utility bill. I acknowledge that this could be a financial burden to many of the residents in the neighborhood.Some households with contaminant-free groundwater have the luxury of not connecting.Your well is contaminated and will likely remain so for some time.The decision not to connect may have real implications for your health. The results of a water sample collected at your water supply well show the presence of dieldrin. The concentration of dieldrin in your water supply well is 3 times higher than what is considered safe by North Carolina's groundwater standard.A health risk evaluation that accompanied the laboratory results recommended not using your well for all household uses including cooking, drinking,and showering.Dieldrin builds up in the body over time and is a suspected carcinogen. It can also affect liver function and compromise the immune system. Recent grant funding for the new water line provides any resident in the vicinity of Academy Road the opportunity to connect free of charge during the period of construction. If residents attempt to connect after construction then the normal connection fees ($1700) will apply.The Bernard Allen Emergency Drinking Water Fund is providing bottled water service and well abandonment to all qualified residents. Connecting to municipal water also has the added benefit of increasing your property value and marketability of your home. After reviewing all of the options,such as home filtration system,the project partners concluded that a municipal water line was the only viable way to provide safe drinking water. For your sake and sake of your family's health,please take a moment to sign the water line easement with the City of Hendersonville.

Skvarla, III Governor Secretary May 27, 2014 Mr. Brian Grimm 124 Timberlane Road Waynesville,NC 28786 Re: Water Supply Well Analytical Results 124 Timberlane Road Haywood County,NC Dear Mr. Grimm, Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your well located at the address referenced above on March 19,2014. The water sample was collected to determine whether the pesticide dieldrin,which was detected in a water supply well in close proximity to your property, is present in your water supply. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analyses of chlorinated pesticides,phosphorus-based pesticides, nitrogen-based pesticides, and selected metals. No pesticides were detected in the water sample. Several naturally-occurring metals and metals commonly found in water systems were detected in the water sample.No metals were detected in excess of their North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard(2L standard) or any applicable federal standard. Based on the metal detections in the water sample, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE)be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. The HRE,which is attached, indicates the water is safe for drinking, cooking, washing dishes,bathing, and showering. If you have any questions regarding the HRE,please contact Dr. Rudo at(919) 707-5911. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828) 296-4684.

The sample was collected to confirm that the elevated level of iron, detected in a water sample collected from the well on January 21, 2014, is being removed from the water supply by your water treatment system to a level at which the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)would recommend using the water for drinking and cooking. The results of the January 21 st well sampling and the health risk evaluation(HRE) for that sample, which recommended not drinking or cooking with the water, were provided to you via fax on March 24, 2014. Iron was detected at 3,000 micrograms per liter(µg/1) in the sample collected from the hose bib on Building 7 on March 31 st, which is ten times the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard for iron. I requested that a HRE of the water supply be performed by a toxicologist with DHHS based on the concentration of iron detected in the sample collected March 315t. The HRE, which is attached, recommends the water not be used for drinking or cooking. Based on these results it appears that your water treatment system was not designed to remove iron from the water supply to a level that the DHHS would recommend be used for drinking or cooking. I recommend contacting a qualified water treatment specialist and providing the attached results so that they may assist you in removing iron from the water supply.

The water sample location identifications were noted with"front"and"rear"to distinguish the well located in front of the building from the well located in the rear of the building. The water samples were collected to determine whether the pesticide dieldrin, which was detected in a water supply well in close proximity to the referenced property, is present in the water supply at the referenced property. The water samples were submitted for laboratory analyses of chlorinated pesticides,phosphorus-based pesticides,nitrogen-based pesticides, and selected metals. No pesticides were detected in either well. Several naturally-occurring metals and metals commonly found in water systems were detected in the water samples collected from both wells.No metals were detected in excess of their North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard (21, standard) or any applicable federal standard. Based on the metal detections in the water samples, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE)be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for each well. The HREs, which are attached, indicate the water can be used for drinking, cooking,washing dishes, bathing, and showering. If you have any questions regarding the HREs,please contact Dr. Rudo at (919) 707-5911.

The sample was collected in response to concerns of the well owner regarding their water quality. During the April 21,2014 site visit,the well was continually purged for 20 minutes. A sample was collected after the 20 minute purge and an approximate purge volume of 100 gallons, and analyzed for chloride, fluoride, sulfate,bromide, ammonia, TKN,nitrates,phosphorus, selected metals,fecal coliform bacteria,and total coliform bacteria.No constituents analyzed were detected above any state or federal standard. Please review the analytical results and provide a health risk evaluation for the water sample. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828)296-4684.

It is recommended that a sludge judge be purchased and kept at the WWTP so that sludge levels can be evaluated. D.O in the aeration basin was 3.1 mg/I on the day of inspection. The tertiary filter is manually cleaned. Turbidity meter was calibrated on 4/30/2014 by Mike Beck. Effluent flow meter was calibrated on 6/7/13 by Mike Beck. Monitoring Well(MW)#1 has been dry on occasion. This well might need to be relocated if this becomes a persistent issue. The facility has had numerous limits violations over the past several years. They are currently working with William G. Lapsley and Associates to determine how best to address these issues. They intend to modify the permit to double the size of the EQ Basin and replace the tertiary filter with a traditional sand filter.
