The aquatic test using composite samples of effluent discharged from Unimin Schoolhouse Quartz Facility
has been completed. Unimin Schoolhouse Quartz Facility has an effluent discharge permitted that is 21.6
million gallons per day entering the North Toe River(7Q10 of 30.0 CFS). Whole effluent samples were
collected on May 10th and 12th for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia pass-fail toxicity test. The test using
these samples resulted in a pass.
Test results indicate that the effluent would not be predicted to have water quality impacts on the receiving
water. These samples were split and sent to Environmental Testing Solutions, in Asheville, NC. The chronic
Ceriodaphnia dubia pass/fail toxicity test run by ETS also resulted in a pass.

Dear Mr. Summey:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
Sewer Collection System inspection conducted on April 15, 2011. Don Price of the Asheville
Regional Office conducted the Compliance Evaluation Inspection. The facility was found to be
in Compliance with permit WQCS00050 at he time of the inspection.
`The '3' (three) Pump Stations visited during the inspection had previous 'SSO's"
(Sanitary Sewer Overflows) prior to the inspection of the system. A review indicated one of the
three, Bracket's Creek, had repeat SSO's at that location. A plan to address these SSO's has
been developed by Town of Forest City ,taff, to prevent them from occurring. It will require
time to implement and funding through the Town CIP.
In addition to this, the Town should also review and update their Sewer Use Ordinance
to address `FOG' (Fats, Oils, and Grease). Any update will require an 'enforcement' aspect in
addition to a 'Grease Trap' inspection aspect. In order to accomplish this and assist in
eliminating potential SSO issues, it is suggested that facility staffing be reviewed so safety and
security of the system are not compromised, and SSO's from the system can be prevented.

Inspection Summary:
The time and assistance of Jacob Hodge, Reid Hammett, Randy Pennington, Jeff Dotson, and Sonny Penson in
conducting the inspection is appreciated. It is suggested that the Town of Forest City review'staffing'
needs in conjunction with operation, maintenance, and sewer inspection requirements of their Collection system.
Three(3) pump stations were reviewed as part of this collection system inspection, these include'Bracket's
Creek','Alexander Mills', and'Dogwood'.All 3 had previous SSO's at each location. Bracket's Creek had'repeat'
SSO's(Sanitary Sewer Overflows). Forest City staff have developed a plan to prevent SSO's in the system that involves
'by-pass pumping' at Bracket's Creek, and increased monitoring of the system, especially for I & I (Inflow and Infiltration),
including I & I correction(s).
SSO review indicates they occur during periods of'heavy rainfall'. This needs to be corrected. Should you have questions
regarding this inspection report or need additional information, please contact Don Price at(828)296-4500.

Dear Mr. Knopf:
The Division has reviewed your request for Representative Outfall Status (ROS) at the subject
facility. Based on a site visit and information provided,the request has been approved with the
following modifications:
• Removal of 148-002 from the site plan and monitoring schedule as indicated in the
Inspection Report dated March 21, 2011. This discharge does not meet the definition of a
stormwater outfall.
• Outfall 148-006 is representative of 148-003
The ROS is effective with the next sampling event.
In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample the outfalls as described
in the following table.
Representative Stormwater SDOs Represented
Discharge Outfall (SDO)
148-006 148-006 and 148-003
148-004 148-004 and 148-005
Please note: the permit still requires Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all SDOS, regardless
of representative status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed
in the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by
the SDO, where appropriate.

Inspection Date: 05/11/2011 Inspection Type:Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
All 12 of the Town's pump stations were visited during this inspection. Two of the pump stations visited were having
either electrical or equipment issues at that time.The Town's staff were taking appropriate measures to insure that these
pump stations were still functioning while the maintenance issues were being worked on.
The Town is required by state regulation to visit all 12 pump stations daily. It may be cost effective for the Town to install
SCADA or some other type of remote alarm notification on all pump stations. Town staff would then be required to visit the
pump station on a weekly basis. Having this technology would also shorten response time and would likely reduce the
severity of sewer spills or other maintenance issues.This office would like to support any effort the Town makes to secure
funding for such a project.
No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Marion Travel Plaza WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO086428
McDowell County
Dear Ms. Elliott:
A Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Wastewater System that serves Marion Travel Plaza was
conducted on April 19, 2011, by Mr. Don Price and Ms. Janet Cantwell of the Asheville Regional Office.
The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Joe David Hall in conducting the inspection was greatly
appreciated. Based on records reviewed, on-site discussions with Joe David Hall and results of effluent
discharge samples collected, Marion Travel Plaza WWTP was determined to be non-compliant with
permit NC0086428. A report is attached for your records and findings are summarized.
Site/System Review
The current WWTP consists of a Flow equalization basin (EQ basin), Influent Pump station with on-site
audible and visual alarms, aeration basin, rectangular secondary clarifier with 'air-lift' return and waste
sludge pumps, tablet chlorination, v-notch weir and float stilling well, effluent flow measurement with
chart recorder, and tablet de-chlorination.
On-site samples collected indicated BOD results of 61 mg/L (permit limits are 45 mg/L), accumulation
of scum and debris on surface of secondary clarifier; addition of chlorine tablets to secondary clarifier
trough; flow meter last calibrated in 2009; no notification to Regional Office regarding ORC (Operator-
in-Responsible Charge) changes and system visitation; and no record of testing Influent pump station
audible and visual alarm testing for proper operation.

Permit#NCO086428
CEI,Page 2 of 2
Suggestions/Recommendations -
The current system shows signs of poor aeration and mixing, possibly due to shape and condition of air
diffusers; these should be evaluated for cleaning and/or replacement. On-site records indicate Flow
meter has not been calibrated since 2009; NPDES permit NCO086428 requires "annual' flow meter
calibration showing meter capable of accurate measurements between +/- 10% of actual
measurements. Effluent samples have to be collected `just after' de-chlorination, making
representative sampling a problem. Also, there is no clear path to the receiving stream for collection of
representative sampling, and visual observations to be made regarding stream impacts. It is suggested
that the facility review their 'options' to continuing this discharge especially in light of the shape and
condition of the WWTP, with tying into a municipal sanitary sewer. The City of Marion's sanitary sewer
is in close proximity to this system, and a review of tyirtq into Marion's system should be made
Please make corrections to facility housekeeping, solids/scum accumulation, flow meter calibration,
effluent outfall line location, aeration basin diffusers, and EQ basin alarm system within the next 30
days and send 'written' notification to this office with a timeline when each task is complete along with
a written explanation as to the reason the facility was allowed to get in this condition. -
If there are questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation, maintenance, or
an NPDES permit question, please contact Don Price at (828) 296-4500. Thank you for the
opportunity to conduct this Compliance Evaluation Inspection.

The appearance of the facility is 'un-sightly' and there are periodic nuisance odors occurring from the
system.Effluent samples were collected from the-facility with the following results: BOD = 61 mg/L (weekly
limit 45 mg/L), Total Suspended Residue (TSS) = 18 mg/L (weekly limit 45 mg/L), Fecal Coliform Bacteria =
51 cfu/100 ml (weekly limit 400 cfu/100 mQ. Based upon these results the facility is non-compliant with
BOD permit limits.
Review of facility file indicated 'no operator' was visiting the facility from January 1st through January 27th of
2011. Please note this facility is classified as a Grade 2 Biological VWVI"P, and as such requires valid ORC
(Operator-in-Responsible Charge) visitation 5 days per week excluing holidays. Logs located at the system
indicated the facility had not had the required ORC visitation.
Please make corrections to facility housekeeping, solids/scum accumulation, flow meter calibration, effluent
outfall line location, aeration basin diffusers, and EQ basin alarm system within the next 30 days and send
'written' notification with a timeline when each task is complete, along with a written explanation as to the
reason the facility was allowed to get in this condition.

Are audible and visual alarms operable? n n n ■
#Is basin size/volume adequate? ■ ❑ n n
Comment: The 'EQ' basin receives flow from the 'Travel Center' including a
restaurant, showers and rest rooms. Observations of the EQ basin indicate the need for
a 'grease trap' and maintenance of the same. Operators log book did not indicate
observation and testing of audible and visual alarms.

Comment: The secondary clarifier is consistent with a rectangular'package' plant
clarifier. On-site observation revealed scum accumulating to the level that it is
'un-sightly', producing odors and contributing to the turbid appearance of the clarifier
effluent.
Several 'chlorine tablets'were observed in the 'trough' of the clarifier. Comments by
operator indicated this was to assist with high coliform and SOiD levels.

Number of tubes in use? 2
Comment: Effluent samples are collected 'just after'the de-chlorination tablet
despenser. This does not allow for adequate time for de-chlorination to take place and
can cause 'interference' with samples collected. It is suggested that the 'effluent outfall'
line be located and identified and a 'clear path' be made to the receiving stream; this
will allow for visual observation of discharge impacts to be made and allow for'more'
reprensentative samples of the discharge to be collected.
Flow Measurement-Effluent Yes No NA NE
#Is flow meter used for reporting? ■ Q n Q
Is flow meter calibrated annually? ❑ ■ Q D
Is the flow meter operational? ■ n ❑ n

Comment: Flow meter at this facility was last'calibrated' in 2009. Chart recording
paper revealed signs of blotches and did not appear to be rotating at an acceptable rate
to show actual flow over the weir. It is suggested the Flow meter be calibrated as soon
as possible and all components be made functional, per NPDES permit requirements.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control,
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
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 for the unnamed tributaries of
South Shoal Creek.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watershedsl[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 413.0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat, millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities,
to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples or
stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas, hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control

,setzer, P.E.

measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance of 25-feet landward from the top of stream bank.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating storm
water runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged.
7. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
8. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
9. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
10. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
12. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished in the riparian areas within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
13. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
14. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
15. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
16. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.

Mr. J. B. Setzer, P.E.
June 8,2011
Page Four
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
24. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
25. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
26. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project (including an impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
P P P J (� g Y P ) �_
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh,N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification, you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty(60)days following receipt of the
Certification. Unless such demands are made,this Certification shall be final and binding.

Dear Ms.Miller:
The Town of Tryon's aging collection system has experienced frequent sanitary sewer overflows
the last several year(s). The overflows have primarily occurred on the lower end of the system prior to
entry into the wastewater treatment facility. Investigation into the integrity of the collection system has
exposed problems with inflow and infiltration throughout the collection system. The town is exploring the
need for entering into a Special Order by Consent(SOC)with the Division of Water Quality. Civil
penalties for these SSOs have been assessed by the Asheville Regional office and more are anticipated.
This proposal for replacement of the trunk line is the most effective in reducing overflow of
sanitary sewer in this identified location. The Town is seeking assistance in funding their Collection
System Retrofit project(s)based upon the findings of their needs assessment.A requirement of the SOC is
that funding be secured to complete items listed in the SOC by scheduled dates.The Town will also need
to explore any and all other funding sources, in addition to the Rural Center, so they can meet the
requirements of a Special Order by Consent, should they chose to move forward with the order.
Additionally,the must meet requirement of their WQCS collection system permit.
A collection system retrofit for the primary line carrying wastewater into the WWTP is the logical
answer to removing extraneous flow from the Town's collection system.The Asheville Regional Office
strongly supports the Town of Tryon's endeavors to secure funding for this project.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. Where placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they
shall be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis=equilibrium-of wetlands or-streambeds-or banks, adjacent to or upstream anddown stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether
or not a permit modification will be required.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. `"'

.3etzer, P.E.
o,2011
.ge Three
6. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
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. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
18. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards(including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d)of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
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 (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh,N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification,you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty(60)days following receipt of the
Certification. Unless such demands are made,this Certification shall be final and binding.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

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

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

.pitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
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

Dear Mayor McIntosh:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$186.00
($119.00 civil penalty+ $67.00 enforcement costs) against the Town of Burnsville.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Town of Burnsville for the month of December 2010.
This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0020290. The violations which occurred in
December 2010 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of Burnsville violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO020290 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, l, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the Town of Burnsville:

$119.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$186,00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be

-ced, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
.ctermining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

Hearings:

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

After the"release"of about 0.6 million gallons from the north clarifier, there will be no further wastewater
added to the system with the exception of landfill leachate. Thus, the facility should consider requesting a
flow modification, to the NPDES permit, based solely on the leachate. It is also suggested that a request be
submitted to remove quarterly toxicity testing as the facilty has not failed a test in over five years and is
basically testing rain water.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) '
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

„g and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
,:pare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(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

violation:
Parameter Date Measuring Violation
Frequency
Ammonia Nitrogen 12/31/2010 Monthly Failure to Monitor
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem. Since the
comments section on the reverse of the relevant DMR provided an adequate explanation for the subject
violation of Ammonia Nitrogen, it is not requested that a response be submitted: however, should you have
additional information concerning the violations or comments which you wish to present,please submit them to
the attention of Janet Cantwell.
DMRs for Sherwood Forest do not have the minimum required 10 days between sampling for

ten calendar days between sampling events. Please begin using the required protocol on future DMRs.
The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report(DMR) submitted by the City of Lenoir for the month of December 2010. This

manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).

$567.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
L Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In

_,,ning whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
.sidered:
(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:

The aquatic toxicity test using composite samples of effluent discharged from Franklin WWTP has been
completed. Franklin WWTP has an effluent discharge permitted that is 1.65 million gallons per day (MGD)
entering the Little Tennessee River(7Q10 of 157 CFS). Whole effluent samples were collected on June 7
and June 9 for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia pass-fail toxicity test. The test using these samples
resulted in a pass. Test results indicate that the effluent would not be predicted to have water quality
impacts on receiving water. These samples were split and sent to Environmental Testing Solutions, in
Asheville, NC. The toxicity test run by ETS also resulted in a pass.

Dear Owners:
According to our records, Mr. Allen Hughes, Environmental Health Supervisor, Toe River
Health District, reported the discharge of sewage from your private collection system. The
incident, was reported on 3-9-11, and occurred as a result of flooding in the creek and a piece
of wood separating the 4-inch pvc sewer pipe, which caused the discharge of sewage into
Grassy Creek. It is our understanding that repairs were made using schedule 40 PVC pipe.
The private sewer collection system that serves the Grassy Creek Shopping Center with
sewer connections from: KB's Bar-B-Que, Subway Restaurant, Grassy Creek Hardware,
McKinney Computers and one private residence, does not meet 15A NCAC 02T .0305 and
15A NCAC 2H .0200; the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria (adopted February 12, 1996) and the Division's minimum design criteria for collection
systems.

This system was installed many years ago, however, any time the collection system is
damaged, the repairs and replacement must meet the current minimum design criteria and
regulations. In order to meet the minimum design criteria for sewer collection systems, the
exposed part of the collection system must be constructed of ferrous pipe (ductile iron, steel,
etc.). Currently, the exposed section of pipe in the creek does NOT meet these standards and
will need to be replaced using ferrous pipe materials.
In addition, piers must be designed and installed to support the collection lines. Loose
rock placed by hand will not support, nor keep the collection line from shifting, and will
eventually result in the failure of the collection system. The system appears to be functional at
this time. However, whenever leaks, damages and failures occur, it must be redesigned and
replaced according to engineering standards and minimum design regulations
When heavy rains or flooding occur in the future, the PVC line will be damaged. At that
time, you will need to be prepared to make corrections in accordance with minimum design
standards. You will need to contact a North Carolina-licensed Professional Engineer to submit
a Fast-track Collection System application to the Division, in preparation of that event..
If the engineer anticipates that work will cause the stream to be disturbed or if digging in
the stream is required, then a 404 certification from US Army Corps of Engineers and a 401
certification from the Division will be needed. DOT appears to be viewing this as an illegal
encroachment. Please have your engineer contact DOT, as well.
Please feel free to contact Wanda Frazier of the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control(
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout Jr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating storm
water runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks,adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or.not a permit modification will be required.

6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
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. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
19. 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.
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
21. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
22. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
23. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.

Dear Dr. Church:
I conducted a technical assistance visit(s) of the Septic Tank/Sand Filter System(s) that serve the
-- Following-s_ch.00ls:_Baton Elementary,--Happy Valley Elementary, Kings Creek Elementary, Oak Hill -
Elementary and Gateway Alternative school on May 11, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of
yourself, along with ORC, Doug Lee, and Caldwell County Schools Maintenance Supervisor, Mr.
Sid West in conducting the Technical Assistance visit(s) was greatly appreciated. The purpose of
this Technical Assistance was to assist in determining the reasons for and to assist in finding
solutions to Ammonia-Nitrogen limits violations occurring at the Baton Elementary School system.
A report is attached for your records and findings are summarized.
Site/System Review
Baton Elementary facility data was analyzed and a "Trend" chart developed (attached). Results indicate
that Ammonia exceedances began to occur around the same time as Septic Tank pumping events took
place in November 2009 and March of 2011. The other four septic tank/sand filter systems serving
Happy Valley, Kings Creek, Oak Hill, and Gateway were visited at this time. No indications were
observed to indicate these systems are not operating in a compliant manner.
Suggestions/Recommendations
It is suggested on site samples of sand filter effluent prior to disinfection be collected, and 'test strips'
for Ammonia-Nitrogen be used to indicate the Ammonia concentration. Then based upon Ammonia-
Nitrogen concentration level observed, that alkalinity supplement(s) with lime and sodium bi-carbonate
be added to increase the level of alkalinity in the system. Also, the septic tank and pump tank contents
should be measured with a "sludge judge" to indicate the solids accumulation, and tank pumping take
place when the sludge accumulation equals about a third (1/3) of the tank's depth. For example, a 5
foot deep tank should be pumped when sludge accumulation equals 18 inches to 2 feet.

The effluent pump tank at Baton Elementary should be reviewed for installation of a Cartridge type
filter prior to disinfection. This may help reduce the level of Ammonia-Nitrogen in the discharge.
Other ideas discussed at the time of the Technical Assistance included the School Maintenance
staff reviewing the option of 'tying' into the collection system for the Town of Cajah's Mountain.
This alternative would involve the permitting and installation of a sewer line extension and possible
lift station. A 'Technical Paper' from 'Small Flows Clearinghouse regarding operation, maintenance,
and trouble-shooting Septic Tank/Sand Filter system(s) is included with this report for your review
and use.
If there are questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation,
maintenance, or an NPDES permit question, please let me know. Thank you for the opportunity to
conduct this Technical Assistance.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This 'Technical Assistance'was completed at the request of Dr. Jeff Church, Ass't. Sup't., with Caldwell
County Schools. Baton has been experiencing difficulty in meeting Ammonia-Nitrogen limits in NPDES
permit NC0030783. Several suggestions were offered to address Ammonia-Nitrogen exceedances.The
suggestions are as follows: (1) Begin addition of'Lime' and 'Sodium Bi-carbonate' to Septic Tank to
increase alkalinity in Septic Tank; (2)Add 'Sodium Bi-carbonate' to the'Pump-Tank' prior to discharge to
receiving stream to increase alkalinity also; (3) Install cartridge type filter in effluent pump tank prior to
disinfection to aid in operation and maintenance of pumps and disinfection equipment; and (4) investigate
options of tying into Collection System of Cajah's Mtn. to eliminate the discharge.
This office will assist in any way we can to get facility back into compliance and maintain that situation. If
there are questions regarding this report, or you need additional information regarding Septic Tank/Sand
Filter operation, please let Don Price know at [phone].

Dear Mr. Hallock:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$817.00
($750.00 civil penalty + $67.00 enforcement costs) against Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation for the month of
December 2010. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0006254. The violations
which occurred in December 2010 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NC0006254 and G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums
established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who
violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the

$750.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$67.00 Enforcement Costs
$817.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and.gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In

armining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR

Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

A review of NC DOT Rosman Maintenance Facility's monitoring report for December 2010 showed
the following violations:
Parameter Date Measuring Frequency Violation
pH 12/31/2010 Monthly Failure to Monitor
Chloride 12/31/2010 Monthly Failure to Monitor
It was also noted that the Compliance box on the back of the DMR was marked "Compliant"when
in fact it should have been marked "Non-Compliant".
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem. Since the
comments section on the reverse of the relevant DMR provided an adequate explanation for the subject
violation, it is not requested that a response be submitted.
The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at
8281296-4500.
Sincerely,
Roger C. Edwards, Regional Supervisor

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215,6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into

(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

enforcement action for any continuing or new vi.olation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Bnforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will,prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.

of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
