Inspection Date:06/23/2011 Inspection Type:Technical Assistance Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Inspector had previous discussion with facility about No Exposure(NE). However, management was not comfortable with
NE because they may have to leave materials outside at some point for an unknown amount of time,therefore they were
concerned about possible exposure.
The current layout of this facility does not have a discrete Stormwater Discharge Outfall(SDO)to surface waters. SDO 1
is a gravel area that discharges to a DOT ditch. There is no stream in sight. SDO 2 drains area along W side of building
and discharges to grass swale with check dams which then discharges to same DOT ditch as SDO 1. SDO 3 drains S
side of building, discharging from a small pipe at wall to old road bed then overland flow to woods (no concentrated
conveyances noted). SDO 4 drains shipping/parking area at Helton Rd, discharging to a grass field(no concentrated
conveyances noted in field).
Qualitative Monitoring Yes No NA NE

#Were all outfalls observed during the inspection? ■ 0 ❑ E
#If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division? ❑ Q ■
#Has the facility evaluated all illicit(non stormwater)discharges? 0000
Comment: Facility made improvements to property for SDO 2. Erosion control rip rap
and check dams were installed for SW discharge from SDO 2. Fuel tank and garbage
container were moved undercover. Storm drain boxes were cleaned.
Facility will sample all SDOs one more time between July-Dec 2011. However, after the
next set of samples inspector may tell facility analytical sampling will no longer be
necessary due to the lack of conveyance.

Inspection Date: 06/23/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
Facility bermed area by recycle bins to avoid discharge from this area. Entire site drains to one Stormwater Discharge
Outfall(SDO)by the Collection Pit. Mr.Triplett hired a contractor to build a small gravel pit to treat
Wastewater/Stormwater.
During the site visit there was a discharge coming from the Collection Pit going to gravel pit then to woods. It had rained
the night before and morning of visit, however 4 inches of rain had not fallen as indicated in SPPP as the.required quantity
for discharge.The inspector told Mr.Triplett the gravel pit may be helpful but like everything else on this small site
maintenance would be intensive. He was told to watch staining below gravel pit in woods to make sure it did not spread,
to keep an eye on short circuiting and collapse of the gravel pit . He was told the new permit would require him to sample
discharge as Wastewater, quarterly. The new pump for collection pit was returned because it was the wrong pump, so he
was waiting on another pump. Without pump managing wastewater at this facility is difficult. The reclaimer had
overflowed but was contained. Once the material hardens he will clean this area up.
Improvements since last visit were made, perhaps they will be enough to keep water quality impacts from occurring.
Future data will indicate if improvements and maintenance are effective.

Permit:NCG210104 Owner-Facility:Jordan Holman Lumber Company
Inspection Date: 06/23/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Keith Reece was present during the inspection.The facility was built in the early 80's. Jordan Holman's main stormwater
pipe appears to contain an Unnamed Tributary to Hayes Mill Creek as depicted on the topographic map. The pipe is very
large and receives most runoff from the Jordan Holman lumber facility via drop inlets. The upper end of this pipe also
attaches to the Granite Hardwoods Co. stormwater system. Because the pipe likely contains a Tributary, it is very
important for the facility to maintain good housekeeping and spill prevention practices.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is thorough and up to date. Mr. Reece is very conscientious about facility
practices. However,there are areas that must be addressed to maintain compliance with the permit and avoid
contamination of receiving stream.
Required Action for Compliance:
Dip Tank Area: The dip tank work area must be constructed for containment. All liquids from this system and work area
must be contained in a manner to prevent discharge. Also, the intrusion of rain water from overland flows must be
prevented. All rainwater, other than the rain water that falls directly onto this work area, must be directed away from the
dip tank area.
Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO): There are four SDOs associated with this facility. SDO 1 is the primary
conveyance running E to SW under the facility,the pipe it is approximately 6 feet in diameter. SDO 2 drains the N and W
areas of the facility.The discharge pipe is located downstream in the vicinity of the Town of Granite Falls sewage pump
station. Jordan Holman lumber is allowed to perform sampling for SDO 2 at the drain inlet located W on their property by
pump house. SDO 3 drains a small area between Warehouse 5 and AHP Warehouse as depicted on site plan; its outfall
is located just uphill and next to SDO 1. SDO 4 drains the lumber storage area and also discharges down by the Town of
Granite Falls sewage pump station.
Representative Outfall Status(ROS)could be requested for SDO 3 and possibly SDO 4. i

Duke Energy has some concerns with winter temperatures not always being in accordance with the general
permit. This is due to very cold upstream temperatures and the inability to monitor an adequate distance
below the discharge for the downstream temperature. This concern will be addressed at the time of the
general permit revision next year.
Record keeping is excellent.

Inspection Summary:
The deemed collection system appeared to be properly maintained,with no problems noted. Record keeping and
mapping are more than adequate. The system still has a lot of terra cotta lines, maybe 40%, but due to the low flows, this
does not seem to be a major issue.

Dear Ms. Payne:
A review of the Town of Murphy's WWTP January 2011 Discharge Monitoring Report showed a
failure to monitor Ammonia, BOD, Fecal Coliform, Total Suspended Solids, Total Residual Chlorine and pH
three times a week for the week ending January 1, 2011, There was no explanation for the missing
parameters and the Compliance box was checked as "Compliant."
In a conversation with Scott Helton/Town of Murphy on June 30, 2011, he stated that the laboratory
which collects the samples for the Town of Murphy was able to only get two sample days(of the required three
times per week) collected the week ending January 1, 2011. Inclement weather that week through the gorge
prevented the collection of the third set of samples and the last day of that week the lab was closed.
This office understands when adverse weather prevents the collection of the required samples that
safety of the staff is a priority. A detailed letter explaining the circumstances surrounding the missed samples
should be included with the subject DMR. In the future please use this protocol.
If you should have any questions please call Janet Cantwell at 828-296-4500.

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.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control _
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be--
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use /Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/ [15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)] in areas
draining to HQW waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A
NCAC 4B .0124(a) regarding the maximum amount of uncovered area. Temporary cover (wheat, millet, or
similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall 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 exceptions. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained
by perimeter erosion control devices such as silt fence, temporary sediment ditches, basins, etc. Matting
should be secured in place with staples, stakes,or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion
control matting placed in riparian areas shall not contain a nylon mesh grid, which can impinge and entrap
small animals. For the establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along
with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the
appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward
from top of stream bank.

5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout Jr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or 11 (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.
6. 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.
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.
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. 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.
12. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
13. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. 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.
14. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.
15. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated, and disposed of properly.
16. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
this certification.
17. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary causeways,
or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be floated into position and then sunk.
The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along
the bottom of the surface water.
�. 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.

19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thaiweg 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24 The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
25. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
26 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.
27. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
28. 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 Enginee'
and the on-site project manager.
29. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
35. 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/oil.—
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.

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 fo'
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.

�'.E.
.ze
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.
�. 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.
24. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
26. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the

A
Inspection Date: 07/05/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Inspection Summary:
On the day of the inspection, there was no discharge.
The aerator is operated continuously during the day. At night, the timer operates it 30 minutes on
and 30 minutes off. The aerator was replaced —2 years ago (in 2009).
Monitoring and Reporting:
A review of the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Residual Solids) values, indicates
problems with consistent compliance with permit limits.
The operator is currently sampling this facility for BOD, TSS, Total Residual Chlorine and pH on a
monthly basis, as required, as a result of:
exceeding the daily maximum and monthly average permit limits for TSS in September 2010;
failing to submit flow, pH and total residual chlorine data in October 2010;
failing to submit flow data in November 2010;
exceeding the daily maximum and monthly average permit limits for TSS in December 2010;
failing to submit total residual chlorine data and exceeding the daily maximum and monthly
average permit limits for TSS in January 2011;
failing to submit total residual chlorine data for February 2011; and
exceeding monthly average permit limit for TSS in April 2011.
The permit states that monitoring shall increase to monthly should any violations of permit limits,
monitoring and/or permit conditions arise. After three consecutive months of compliance,
monitoring can revert back to quarterly.

Please complete the 5-day SSO reporting form, for the SSO that occurred
on 7-12-2011 , and return to our office.
I have enclosed the documents that we discussed, as well as, some
sample FOG materials (in Spanish). Please edit to include your contact
info and distribute these to your renters (twice a year).
Aaron Hamlin owns Wedgefield Acres Mobile Home Park (in Asheville) and
has an excellent renter's agreement that addresses issues of FOG
disposal and eviction terms. You could give him a call at 828-667-4560 to
discuss how he handles these problems.
I would like to do a Collection System inspection in the near future. These
documents will help to prepare you for that inspection.
Call me if you would like to discuss these documents. You may reach me

There are 7 height-graduated cells with 7 pairs of 50#dry feed demand feeders, which have rods
extending into the water that are activated by the trout. The trout are also hand fed.
Flow data:
Water is gravity fed into the head of the raceway from Shope Creek.
During high stream flow conditions, there is a maximum flow-thru of- 1200 gpm.
Under less optimum stream flow conditions, flows average between 150 to 400 gpm.
During low flow stream conditions, a private well is used to supplement flow at-40 gpm (at an
electrical cost of- $10 per day).
Sludge Management:
The divided raceway cells are operated in parallel and are drained, as needed, so that solids
can be removed and used as fertilizer.
Trout Production:
1n past years when the farm was in full operation, -25,000 to 30,000 pounds of trout were
produced. The rising cost of operations (feed,fuel, etc.) and the declining market values,
have made the operation non-profitable.

Dear Messrs. Bornholm and Brinkmeyer:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has received correspondence from Altamont
Environmental, Inc. dated July 15, 2011, in response to the NOV noted above. Due to the extent
of the project and the delineation that had to be performed,the DWQ allowed an extension of the
response time frame specified in the NOV (and has had on-going e-mail correspondence with all
parties).
The proposal presented includes the removal of sediment and restoration of several tributaries to
Richland Creek as noted in the document. In addition, Altamont has performed stream
identification of surface waters throughout the project boundary(which was required as part of the
NOV response).
The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved.
As stated in the document, areas still to be disturbed will have protection of the 25 foot Trout
buffer along identified surface waters. Disturbed areas will be restored to their condition prior to
disturbance.
EPA Region IV and ER will present a sampling plan to DWM and DWQ to ensure that the
protected, undisturbed areas meet the goal of the overall project with respect to soil remediation.

Inspection Summary:
Facility bermed area by recycle bins to avoid discharge from this area. Entire site drains to one Stormwater Discharge
Outfall(SDO)by the Collection Pit. Mr.Triplett hired a contractor to build a small gravel pit to treat
Wastewater/Stormwater.
During the site visit there was a discharge coming from the Collection Pit going to gravel pit then to woods.It had rained
the night before and morningof visit,however 4 inches of rain had not fallen as indicated in SPPP as the,required quantity
for discharge.The inspector told Mr.Triplett the gravel pit may be helpful but like everything else on this small site
maintenance would be intensive. He was told to watch staining below gravel pit in woods to make sure it did not spread,
to keep an eye on short circuiting and collapse of the gravel pit. He was told the new permit would require him to sample
discharge as Wastewater, quarterly. The new pump for collection pit was returned because it was the wrong pump, so he
was waiting on another pump. Without pump managing wastewater at this facility is difficult. The reclaimer had
overflowed but was contained. Once the material hardens he will clean this area up.
Improvements since last visit were made, perhaps they will be enough to keep water quality impacts from occurring.
Future data will indicate if improvements and maintenance are effective.

Dear Property Owners:
On July 20, 2011, I visited a property owned by you along Commerce Street in Old Fort, following
up on a complaint. Shawna Riddle from the Division of Land Resources was also present.
At the time of the visit, land disturbance had occurred up to the banks of Mill Creek, classified as
C /Trout waters. Some minor sediment was noted in the stream, but the present conditions did not
warrant any sediment cleanup activities. Several slabs of concrete were located in or along the
stream. The concrete material must be removed from the stream channel.
No sediment and erosion control measures were in place along the stream during my inspection. It
is highly advisable that you stabilize the disturbed areas and protect the stream from sediment
discharges. You may be held liable for sediment discharges to the stream,which can include
cleanup costs and fines.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions regarding this matter,
please contact me at(828) 296-4664.

Construction is underway on most of the project with grading and pipe installation taking place along the entire
length of the AA Section. The new Broad River Bridge has been completed.
Sediment has been removed from both up and downstream at Station 41+00. This restoration looks good.
All areas that have been graded and no construction has taken place in the last 14 days should be seeded and
mulched.
All sediment and erosion control structures/devices should be checked for proper operation including the silt
fence. Also,clean around waddles and drop inlets.
North of Station 273+00 sediment should be removed from the stream bed. Now would be a good time to
remove any sediment since no water is flowing in the channel.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.

Total Permanent Stream Impacts for Project: 15 lin.ft. Total Temporary Stream Impacts for Project: 80 linear ft.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated July 13, 2011 (received July 18, 2011),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3820, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local
permits before you proceed with your project including(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,Non-Discharge
and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
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 (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.
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.

r, P.E.
J11
nree
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.
9. 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.
24. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
26. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the

Dear Mr. Mann:
This letter is in follow-up to the site visit conducted on July 19, 2011. The facility was found to be
non-compliant with North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Sediment impacts to an Unnamed
Tributary to Brushy Fork Creek were documented.
You were present during my site visit and we discussed the issues at your salvage yard. Items we
discussed were primarily related to controlling runoff from your site to prevent further sediment
impacts and water quality violations to the nearby stream. We discussed options for erosion
control that will be needed onsite for compliance. I have attached several guidance sheets for your
reference regarding erosion control practices.
Please contact me at [phone] or linda.wiggsgncdenr.gov, if I can be of any further
assistance.

Additional comments:
Reviewed project with NCDOT staff.Contractor was in the process of removing the last part of the rip rap used
for the construction pad.
Sand and rip rap left in the river from the construction work should be removed. I understand that removal of
the sand is already underway.
All sediment and erosion control measures appeared to be operating properly. A small amount red colored
sediment had entered the river on the east side of the bridge and should be removed.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State
surface waters.
Care should be taken to protect water quality during the removal of the old bridge.

mulched. Seeding needs to keep pace with the construction. Seeding was taking place at the time of inspection.
The area around the stream culvert that has been installed should be seeded and matted.
The new stream channel that has been excavated should be stabilized to prevent sediment from flowing down
the channel into the stream.
All erosion control devices should be checked for proper operation.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding,matting and mulching as required to

The reason for this inspection was to observe the internal cleaning of the drains in Cheoah Dam. The last
cleaning occurred in 2005 and the objective was to clean silt and calcium build up from within the dam. The
material in the drains was pumped into a vac truck and the clear water was then decanted and run through
sand filters before being discharged. Both upstream and downstream pH was monitored during the
cleaning; there was no significant change in pH between the two monitoring points. The powerhouse was
not inspected during this visit.
No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection.

Sect m Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
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(7010 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.

Permit:WQCS00101 Owner-Facility:Town of Franklin
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.

Inspection Summary:
Facility information: Collection System permit#WQCSDO557
The Collection System blueprint drawings and map were prepared by(McGill) John Coxey, P.E. in 1995.
The Town of Elk Park built a new WWTP and installed a new collection system in 1996. Prior to that
time,the residents had septic systems.
Description:
Approximately 31,000 linear ft of sewer collection system for-255 business and residential
customer taps serving-500 residents. The entire collection system was installed in 1996 and
consists of 8-in gravity SDR-35 pipe and 8-inch DIP(ductile iron pipe)force main.
There are two duplex(30 HP Aurora hydromatic) pump stations with telemetry(no generators).
Heather Buchanan Electric installed the Sensaphone@ 1400 telemetry system 2-3 years ago.

Inspection Summary:
The goal for annual sewer line cleaning is 3100 feet. Purchase of a jetter would be a
suggestion.
The two pump stations do not have emergency generators, nor does the Town have an emergency
portable generator. This would be a suggestion for the CIP.

Subject: Technical Assistance Inspection
Coats American-Sevier Finishing Plant WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0004243
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Sisk:
I conducted a Technical Assistance Inspection of the NPDES system that serves the Coats
American-Sevier Finishing Plant WWTP on May 20, 2011. The reason for the Technical
Assistance was to offer suggestions to assist in finding a remedy to the NPDES permit 'non-
compliance' the facility experienced during the early part of 2011.The assistance and cooperation
of Mr. Phillip Pittman and Ms. Sara Hudgins in conducting the Technical Assistance was greatly
appreciated. Based on records reviewed, on-site discussions with Phillip and Sara, the Coats
American WWTP NPDES system was determined to be in compliance with permit NC0004243. A
report is attached for your records and findings are summarized.
Site/System Review
The current WWTP NPDES System consists of an equalization basin, aeration basin,2 secondary
clarifiers, a chlorine contact basin with de-chlorination, and effluent post aeration. During the
Inspection the discharge observed going into the receiving stream, designated as 'North Fork of
the Catawba River' in the Catawba River Basin, did not appear to be causing a negative impact,
nor was there any indication of foam or visible solids in the discharge.
Suggestions/Recommendations
The current Solids accumulation in the aeration basin system is collecting in one location of the
aeration basin indicating poor mixing. In addition to poor mixing the DO (dissolved oxygen) levels
vary from 0.7 mg/L to over 7 mg/L in the basin. The current 'floating' aeration system should be
evaluated for retrofit/replacement with a more efficient system. On-site observations of the 2
secondary clarifiers indicate extensive deterioration of the effluent weirs and baffles allowing 'pin-
floc' suspended solids to be discharged from the system. This situation can present maintenance

This'Technical Assistance'was conducted to offer suggestions to correct period of non-compliance the
facility has experienced over the past year. Review of aeration equipment and secondary clarifier weirs and
baffles indicate the facility should review for upgrade to diffused or possibly floating brush aerators. There is
also literature available indicating potential for'solar'type aeration and mixing equipment that could be
reviewed. It is suggested that facility staff start a 'process control' scheme that includes DO (dissolved
oxygen) profile, alkalinity, and solids accumulation in the basin on a twice per week basis. REsults collected
could then be used for trending and development of control charts to optimize the waste treatment process.
Should you have questions regarding this TA, or you wish to schedule a'follow-up' TA, please contact Don
Price at(828)296-4500. Thank you for the opportunity to conduct this Technical Assistance.

Comment: Aeration Basin had several 'dead spots'due the limited number and set up
of floating aerators. DO's taken throughout the basin indicated a range from 0.7 mg/L to
7.7 mg/L. This is'too broad' of a range. DO range should be between 1.0 mg/L to 2.0
mg/L. Aeration Basin Solids accumulation ranged from 72 mg/L to 3840 mg/L. Both DO
levels and Solids levels indicate poor mixing and aeration of the wastewater and RAS.
Corrective measures should include review of and modification of aeration system
including mixing, with diffusers and or possibly brush aerators. Location and installation
of a 'modulating'valve between the EQ basin and Aeration basin could correct
short-circuiting of the basin and improve hydraulics of the system.
