Dear Mr. Morse:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance Inspection form from the
inspections and follow-up conducted on March 5 and April 23 2008. Don Price, Jim Reid,
and Keith Haynes of the Asheville Regional Office conducted the Technical Assistance
Inspection and subsequent follow-up. As noted in the enclosed inspection report, the
facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0041696, but should review the
current level of MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The current level of MLSS
(greater than 5000 mg/L) can pose serious issues in the existing operating mode and with
the existing type of aeration currently used at the VVWTP.
The ORC, Mr. Greg Padgett and Town of Valdese VWVTP's staff time and
assistance in conducting the Technical Assistance inspection is appreciated. Please refer
to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments, and contact
me you wish to continue this TA into the Maintenance of the existing WWTP operation. If
you or your staff have any other questions, or I can be of further assistance, please call
me at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The purpose of this Technical Assistance was to offer support to ORC, Mr. Greg Padgett and his staff in
developing a "Process Control - Operation & Maintenance Plan" for the facility. Greg and his staffs
assistance in conducting the T/A is appreciated.
The WWTP is currently 28 years old and has had several upgrades/refurbishments since the original
construction. The upgrade/refurbishments appear to be mainly painting and preservation of treatment
structures and equipment and structures to operate a composting operation for waste activated sludge.
The facility is operated in a "Complete Mix" type of Activated Sludge mode, utilizing primary clarifiers,
aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, disinfection and de -chlorination with discharge to Lake Rhodhiss.
This type of Activated Sludge mode can pose several problems in treating the current waste stream (85 %
industrial- 15 % domenstic) and trying to maintain as high of a MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids)
concentration, as is being done with the Valdese operation. The MLSS concentration was taken during
several of the TA visits and indicated the concentration to be over 5000 mg/L. The current Aerators at the
facility are "Fixed Platform" type aerators and are not very efficient, in addition to they can cause activated
sludge floc shear with as high of a concentration as the Valdese plant carries. It is suggested the MLSS level
be reduced to 3500 mg/L until an upgrade to the existing aerators can be completed.
Modifications to the existing Primary clarifiers should be reviewed to determine if these units could be
converted to "Flow Equalization / Aeration Basins", and change the operation mode from "Complete Mix"
activated sludge into "Extended Aeration" mode. This type of operational mode is more condusive to
treating the industrial waste that composes a majority of the Valdese plant. And, by modifying the existing
primary clarifiers to EQ/Aeration Basins, it would allow for more flexibility in operation, should industries
slow down and flow be reduced. It is also suggested the facility review retrofit/replacing the existing platform
aerators into more efficient aerators , such as brush aerators. Information is included with this TA regarding
a different type of aerators.

Comment: During one of the on -site visits to conduct the Technical Assistance, one of
the two Primary Clarifier's was down awaiting investigation by the facilities engineer.
On -site discussions indicated the Primary Clarifier was down to determine causes of
drive failure. The drive unit's gearing was stripped due to some obstruction with the
sweep mechanism at the bottom of the clarifier. It appeared the most probable cause of
this units failure was "age". The primary clarifier's along with most of the other facility
structurs are "28" years old. The typical service life of most WWTP umits is 20 years. It
is suggested that facility staff review all units for service life and upkeep/maintenance
needs. Also, staff should review the operation mode for the facility, and see if operating
as "Complete Mix" activated sludge would produce the best quality effluent, or modify
the primary clarifiers to "Equalization Basins" and operated the facility as an "Extended
Aeration" activated sludge system.

Facility was neatly and cleanly kept. Effluent was clean and clear. All equipment appeared to be operating
as it should. The owner may wish to remove the deteriorated bar screen from the package plant (North side
of perperty) to prevent its falling into the aeration basin: primary screening is accomplished in the

Dear Mr. Swain:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the following impacts in
an unnamed tributary to the Cane River, for the purpose of making improvements to NCSR 1111 (Ray Farm Road) in

Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 15 linear feet. Temporary Impact for Project: 50 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated April 21, 2008 (received April 24, 2008),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3704, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Pen -nit 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.
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. NArthCarolina

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. NCDOT shall use /Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/ [15ANCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)] for the entire project.
However, due to the size of the project, NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4I3.0124(a) regarding the
maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent
herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 working days of ground disturbing activities. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian
areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting
shall be secured in place with staples or wherever possible. Matting should be secured in place with staples or
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream 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.
5.. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
7. 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 from off -site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
8. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
9. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
10. 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.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
15. 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.
16. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
17. 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.
18. 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.

gain, Jr., P.E.

f hree
19. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
20. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Dear Mr. Morse:
Attached is the report resulting from the. Town of Valdese's Collection System Permit Compliance
Evaluation Inspection that I conducted on May 7, 2008. I came away well pleased with.the job
the Town of Valdese is doing in operating its wastewater collection_ system and maintaining
records in support of operational activities.
The Town of Valdese is making good progress in preparation of a collection system map. I
encourage the Town to continue to fund the local. COG's involvement in this activity. This is still a
works -in -progress. I will mention that a compliant collection system map shows gravity line flow
direction and identifies pump stations and shows their capacities.
I was pleased to hear that the Town has included funds for a sewer jetter, closed circuit television
camera, and a GPS unit in the draft 2008-2009 budget. The Town still has some collection
system right-of-way in need of clearing. I understand that funds to contract this work likewise
appears in the 2008-2009 draft budget.
suggest that the Town equip the Cline Street pump station with a quick connect. This would
reduce time to restore the station to full operation, should it ever be necessary to drive the station
with a portable generator. Additionally, I would like to see the pump station inspection logs
modified to show the "exercising of valves".

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated March 5, 2008 (received March 20, 2008),
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 Nos. 3689, 3701 and 3688, corresponding
to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 13, 23 and 33. 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

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 must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
3. The post -construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for. the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, that 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.
7. Two (2) foot sills will be constructed in the outer barrels to accommodate for low flow conditions.
8. The culvert will be buried approximately 1.5 feet below the streambed to allow for aquatic life passage.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new culvert and old bridge, shall not be
modified. Disturbed floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
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 DWQ 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, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. 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.
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, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
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 town 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

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated April 28, 2008 (received May 1, 2008),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3704, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Regional General Permit Number 31. 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.
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

control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in �-
riparian areas.
3. 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 DWQ 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 practicable. A transitional phase incorporating coir fiber and seedling establishment
is allowable. Also, riprap 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 riprap coverage area.
4. Compensatory Mitigation for impacts of 205 linear feet of stream and 1.59 acres of riverine wetlands is required.
We understand that you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for the
project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated April 28, 2008 that they will assume responsibility for satisfying the
federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above -referenced project, in accordance with
the Tri-Party MOA signed on July 22, 2003 and the Dual -Party MOA signed April 12, 2004.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream 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.
6. The post -construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
7. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
8. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
re -treated through site -appropriate means rassed swales re-formed scour holes vegetated buffers etc. before p g(g � p g ) �
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.

r, 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 (WS-I, WS-Il), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
10. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the bridge, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
11. 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

Scotty's Mobile Village
Permit No: NCO069965

Dear Mr. Scott:
Enclosed please find a Compliance Evaluation Report of the inspection conducted
by Asheville Regional Office staff on April 30, 2008. The facility was judged to ,be in
compliance with permit NCO069965 at the time of inspection. However, the volume of
grease in the facility. was sufficiently large to suggest that the aeration system_ would be
unable to supply sufficient oxygen for proper treatment during upcoming summer, :months.
Any possible means should be employed to prevent grease from entering the
treatment system. Grease in a package type wastewater treatment facility _ greatly ...
intensifies the operational time and effort necessary to maintain compliance.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and'
comments. If there are questions or comments, please call the writer at 828-296-4651.
Sincerely,
James R Reid

Effluent was clear despite EXCESSIVE GREASE grease in the facility. The volume of grease was such that
the aeration system would not likely have sufficient capacity to supply enough oxygen during upcoming
summer months.
The City of Marion advised that approximately one month prior to the inspection a request for bids had been
published for the Hankins Road collection system.

Facility was neatly kept. The owner installed new media in the filter bed; approximately 1 week prior to the
date of inspection. The media particles, visually, did not appear to be of the size and dust content normally
used in a sand filter bed. The NC Minerals Research Lab will provide a particle size analysis and
quantification of the dust content. The media had not been in place for sufficent duration to allow
development of the biological film necessary to allow compliance with effluent limitations.

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

.dered:
�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:

Subject: Maintenance of Private Sewers
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Hildebrand:
You recently inquired as to the Division of Water Quality's position regarding maintenance
of privately owned sewers. North Carolina General. Statute 130A-335(a) states that the
owner of a home must provide an approved wastewater system. Such a_system may take
the form of a private sewer line capable of conveying the collected sewage to the °point of
ultimate disposal. It is the Division's expectation that all persons using a privately -owned -.
sewer system involve themselves in any required maintenance should that system ,
experience an obstruction. Failure to restore a failed system to proper operation: places:a
person, using that system, in violation of North Carolina General Statute 130A=335(a)
I trust that I have sufficiently answered your question. Should you need to discuss this
matter in greater detail please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].

Wastewater Treatment Plant Upset
NPDES Permit Number NCO020290
Yancey County
Dear Mr. McIntosh:
This morning this Office received a report that an influent composite sample being collected
today at the Burnsville. Wastewater Treatment Plant had pH of 4.2. The Town's treatment plant
cannot recover so long as it continues to get hit by these low pH slugs. The Town must identify
the source of this low pH waste stream and get it out of the system quickly. A pH with a value of
< 5 is in violation of the Town's Sewer Use Ordinance. We` have also received information that
the Town continues to accept septage and porta-john waste at an unsupervised site Until such
time as the Town restores the wastewater treatment plant to full operation it is recommend that
the Town cease accepting this type waste.
The problems which Burnsville is experiencing at its wastewater treatment plant are of great
concern to us for the reason that it may be related to the mortality of elktoe mussels and other
aquatic species in the Cane River. We will be reviewing the details of this incident to determine
whether civil penalties relating to possible effluent limits, water quality standards or pretreatment
program violations are appropriate. Additionally we will consider whether we should seek
recovery of investigative costs relating to the wildlife kill and cost of damages. The North
Carolina General Statutes provide Civil Penalties up to $25,000 per violation of environmental
regulations with each day considered a separate violation.

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 firture) 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.
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be
located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road
construction activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible following ground
disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils
in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of
native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. Station 115+12 to Station 117+00. The existing pipe will be excavated and replaced.
r
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream 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.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. 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.
8. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
9. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
10. 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.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification
15. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.

,tzer, P.E.
z008
nree
16. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on -site project manager.
18. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or 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.
19. 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 or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
20. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
21. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mrs. Winkleman:
On April 11, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application to impact
0.089 acres of wetlands to construct the proposed impoundment on your property. The
DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate
information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to
process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject
property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will
have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and
will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(4) requires that any project not result in cumulative [or
secondary] impacts. As part of the submitted information states that the road will be
upgraded to 16 feet wide (such as a subdivision road), a qualitative analysis of
cumulative impacts must be performed in accordance with
http://www.ncwatergualitV.org/ncwetlands/documents/interiminternalPolicyCumulativeimp
act.doc
2. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (f) requires that"a lack of practical alternatives" be demonstrated.
While alternative sites have been discussed in your application, no discussion in regards
to developing the project without the impoundment, or a significantly reduced
impoundment (or offline impoundment), has been presented. A discussion regarding
practical alternatives with respect to a reduction of impacts must be presented.
3. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (g) requires a demonstration of minimization of impacts. As
discussed in item number 2, impact minimization has not been sufficiently addressed. A
discussion regarding the minimization of impacts must be presented.

Dear Mr. Huffman:
Attached is the report resulting from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Compliance
Evaluation Inspection that I conducted on May 9, 2008 at Huffman Finishing: Company.
found the wastewater treatment plant to be well operated and adequately maintained.
Shufford Wise is doing a fine job of operating the plant. My comment regarding
maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant is based upon the amount of rusted steel
seen.
The NPDES permit for the Huffman Finishing Company wastewater treatment plant.
specifically mentions "auxiliary power" The emergency power generator at the
wastewater treatment plant is, by all appearances, not operable. Please restore the
generator to an operable condition, put it under a routine maintenance program; and
inform me how the generator would be used in event of a prolonged power outage. I am
particularly interested in knowing how it could be used to preserve a viable activated
sludge in the event of such a power outage.
I look forward to hearing from you. Should you have need to discuss these matters with .
me, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Springman:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has received your stream restoration plans from
Terry E. Allen regarding the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV-
2007-PC-0559) dated August 31, 2007. DWQ has reviewed the information provided. The
reviewed stream restoration plans represent adequate remediation for removal of the earthen dam,
natural channel design restoration of Garren Creek and its riparian buffer (Trout Buffer) on your
property. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission noted concerns about downstream
sediment in Garren Creek. Sediment removal from the stream channel will be required following
stream restoration activities. Please contact Linda Wiggs with the scheduled date restoration
activities are to begin, as well as for approval of subsequent sediment removal efforts.
This letter in no way precludes this Office for taking action on this or any other violation.
Violations are subject to civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Linda Wiggs or myself at
[phone].

Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Buncombe County Erosion and Sedimentation Control, Buncombe County Stormwater, along with
members of the NC Division of Water Quality performed a site visit on April 28, 2008 on the
Bartram's Walk project located along Wolfe Cove Road in Buncombe County, North Carolina. As a
result of that visit, several items were noted which cause additional concern for this office:
• Continued grading in Waters of the State has occurred since the April 8, 2008 site meeting with
your consultant, Ryan Hendron. Specifically, the stream origin located during the April 8,
2008 meeting, just below the upper most road, has been filled with earthen material.
• Grading continues onsite leading to discharges of soil material to streams (re-routed or in
natural position in landscape).

Section 404 permit authorizing this impact.
• The rerouted stream, located immediately below the T-intersection of roads and to the left of
the main entrance road, shall not be relocated back to its original position in the landscape
until the section of stream channel adjacent to, and disturbed by, the widening of the main
roadway, has been restored utilizing a natural channel design with buffers.
• A design for the stormwater basin (depicted as Area 6 on the submitted and returned 401
application) to be restored (across from old ranch style house) must be submitted for approval
(NCDWQ) immediately.

Stream Standards Violation - Other Waste (In -stream sediment)
Failure to Secure Stormwater General Permit NCGO10000
Macon County
Dear Messrs. Shope and Moore:
On May 8, 2008, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection along Moore Creek and the Nantahala River in Macon
County. According to the incident file, Mr. Moore was in attendance during part of the site visit.
Stream standards and Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 violations were noted during
the site visit and file review. Sediment impacts to Moore Creek, classified as C, Tr, ORW waters
and the Nantahala River, classified as B, Tr, ORW waters, were documented.
This office understands that release of water and sediment from the Upper and Lower Moore
Creek Lakes occurred during separate events. According to information provided to DWQ, the
Lower Lake, owned by the Rainbow Springs Partnership, was drained in February 2006 and the
Upper Lake, owned in part by Mr. Shope was drained on or about April 28, 2008.
The documented violations apply to both parties and are detailed below:

SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of
treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the
permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this general permit.
2. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
condition of this general permit.
3. Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the intentional diversion of stormwater from any portion of a
stormwater control facility including the collection system, which is not a
designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property,
damage to the control facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or
substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be
expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not
mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
b. Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
C. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and effect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice within 24 hours of an
unanticipated bypass as required in Part 11, E. 3.(b)(1) of this general permit. (24-
hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
Page 13 of 20 Pages

Permit No. NCGO10000
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee
for bypass, unless:
(1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
control facilities, retention of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime or dry weather. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods
of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(3) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d.
of this section.
4. Upsets
a. Definition
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
or control facilities, inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an Upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c, of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
C. Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
2) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated; and
Page 14 of 20 Pages

Permit No. NCGO10000
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part H, E. 3. (b) (2) of
this general permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part H, A. 2.
of this general permit.
d. Burden of Proof
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 10 linear feet. Temporary Impact for Project: 60 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 12, 2008 (received May 14, 2008),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3704, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local
permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.

1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be
located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road
construction activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 working days of ground disturbing
activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep
slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative
cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever possible. Matting should be secured in place with
staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian
areas.
4. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream 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.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater. shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged. r_�

aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
9. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
10. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
11. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted

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.
1 There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be
located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road
construction activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible following ground
disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils
in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of
native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. 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 from off -site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream 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.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. 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.
8. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
9. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
10. 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.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters r
is prohibited.
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.

zer, P.E.
108
.,ree
�5. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
16. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on -site project manager.
18. The 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 or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
19. 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.
20. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
21. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCO021369
Town of Columbus
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Polk County
Dear Mr. Holloman:
Attached is the report resulting from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Compliance Evaluation
Inspection which I conducted on May 21, 2008. It was my determination that the Operator in
Responsible Charge for the Town of Columbus is doing a good job of operating the Town's
thirty-five year old Wastewater Treatment Plant.
I am concerned about the deteriorated condition of the visible clarifier steel. The V-notch weir
plates and surface sweep are in bad shape. Within sixty days of date of receipt of this
inspection report, please submit an engineering report detailing how the Townwould
repair/replace the deteriorated steel components of the clarifier, while continuing to provide
activated. sludge clarification and sludge return. The report should include a description of how
an investigation into the condition of those clarifier components under water, and therefore not
visible, would be carried out. I realize that a study is underway, looking at regionalization of sewer
service; nonetheless I would like to have a study detailing how the clarifier could be repaired
should regionalization not occur.
The Columbus wastewater treatment plant is not equipped with a grit chamber. As a
consequence, thirty-five years of grit has accumulated in the aeration basin. Study has
determined that aeration basin volume is occupied by approximately three feet of grit and settled
solids. At the same time you submit a report relating to investigation and replacement of clarifier
steel please inform us of the hydraulic volume of the aeration basin.

Stream Standards Violation - Other Waste (In -stream sediment)
Failure to Secure Stormwater General Permit NCG010000
Macon County
Dear Messrs. Shope and Moore:
On May 8, 2008, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection along Moore Creek and the Nantahala River in Macon
County. According to the incident file, Mr. Moore was in attendance during part of the site visit.
Stream standards and Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 violations were noted during
the site visit and file review. Sediment impacts to Moore Creek, classified as C, Tr, ORW waters
and the Nantahala River, classified as B, Tr, ORW waters, were documented.
This office understands that release of water and sediment from the Upper and Lower Moore
Creek Lakes occurred during separate events. According to information provided to DWQ, the
Lower Lake, owned by the Rainbow Springs Partnership, was drained in February 2008 and the
Upper Lake, owned in part by Mr. Shope was drained on or about April 28, 2008.
The documented violations apply to both parties and are detailed below:

STAFF REPORT
TO: Susan Wilson
FROM: Roy Davis
DATE: May 23, 2008
SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Renewal
Town of Columbus
Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number NCO21369
Polk County
The Town of Columbus is served by an extended aeration WWTP having a rated
capacity of 0.8 MGD. The plant is thirty-five years old and consists of a
mechanically cleaned bar screen, aeration basin with five surface aerators, a
single circular clarifier, gas chlorination, liquid dechlorination, sludge thickener,
and two sludge holding ponds (only one of which is routinely used). The plant is
being well operated. Sludge is disposed of by land application.
A study conducted by the Town and Rural Water revealed that thirty-five years of
operation without influent grit removal has resulted in an accumulation of
approximately three feet of solids in the aeration basin. Consider, prior to permit
renewal, asking the Town to conduct a study and inform us of the hydraulic
capacity of the aeration basin. The results of such a study may prompt us to re -
rate the plant.

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 must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
3. Widening of the stream shall 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.
4. The post -construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
5. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
6. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site -appropriate means (grassed swales, pre -formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
7. 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-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass -lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre -treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the bridge, shall not be modified. Disturbed,
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
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.
13. 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. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the City of Asheville's
Engineering Services Manager and the on -site project manager.
18. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
19. 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.

20. 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.
21. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
22. Upon completion of the project, the City of Asheville shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
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
any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mr. Norton:
Attached is the report resulting from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Compliance.
Evaluation Inspection that I conducted at Hot Springs on May 22, 2008. The plant has a
healthy activated sludge and was observed to be producing a very clear effluent. The
condition of the plant grounds however is another matter.
The following issues should be attended to as quickly as possible:
(1) Mow within the fenced area and have the vines removed from the fence enclosing the
plant.
(2) Remove all trash from the plant grounds and from within the building housing the
blowers.
(3) Remove grease from the clarifier center well.
(4) Provide a shelter for the sodium hypochlorite and calcium thiosulfate drums.
(5) Maintain a path to the end of the effluent outfall.
