No distributions so far this year. Three fecal coliform samples were collected this week;the remaining four samples will be collected next week. The belt-press was used approximately 7 times in 2013. Maintenance records for the belt-press and pasteurization vessel were good. One sludge holding tank is currently in use. The Town is now maintaining the spreader truck that is used to distribute residuals. The finished product is stored under roof on a concrete pad. The pad is sloped and drains back to the head of the WWTP. There was very little product on site. The facility appears to be well maintained and operated. i Page: 2 Permit: WQ0011260 Owner-Facility:Town of Old Fort Inspection Date: 03/12/2014 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine Type Yes No NA NE Land Application ❑ Distribution and Marketing Treatment Yes No NA NE Check all that apply Aerobic Digestion ❑ Anaerobic Digestion ❑ Alkaline Pasteurization(Class A) Alkaline Stabilization(Class B) ❑ Compost ❑ Drying Beds ❑ Other Comment: belt-press pasteurization vessel Sampling Yes No NA NE Describe sampling: ` Fecal samples collected from finished pile prior to distribution.

The program appeared to be in compliance with permit NCO024911. Mr. van Hoff is doing a commendable job. Managing the MSD pretreatment program alone is quite a task, `-' especially during a year where Head Works Analysis (HWA) and Industrial Waste Surveys (IWS) are due. To meet these due date demands, as I have discussed with Mr. van Hoff, it is suggested an extension to the IWS due date be requested.

Present during the inspection were Greg Wiggins, Dean Ring, Joanna Manley and Mark Jones. The program appeared to be in compliance with permit WQCS00204. Overall the collection system program is in good shape, although there are a couple of areas that need attention. Two items that will need to be submitted to the Division of Water Resources are the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) Designation Form and the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

There are—64 miles of gravity lines, —11 miles of force main and 11 pump stations associated with this system.There are approximately 3,300 customers and 6 industries with flows(-800,000 gpd)going to the Metropolitan Sewage District of Buncombe County(MSD)and the City of Hendersonville. The systems age is late 1980s to 1990,so it is a fairly young system. An ORC Designation Form was given to staff to submit. There is not an ORC designated in the BIMs database. I was shown the ORC form submitted by the town in 2011. It is unclear why it is not in the database, but another will have to be submitted.An ORC form shall be submitted immediately. A CIP was required to be developed in accordance with 1(6)of the permit by November 2012 and submitted to the Asheville Regional Office. Henderson County has most of the components of the CIP in place and is reinvesting into the system.An email(7/212014)was sent to Mr.Wiggins to assist him in developing a CIP. It is understood that this collection system may be taken over by MSD at some point. It is suggested that this situation be noted in the CIP. The CIP shall be submitted to the Asheville Regional Office by September 30,2014. Pump Station(PS)plans for 2014-1015: Snowball PS will be relocated out of floodplain and a new generator will be added. Johnson Farm PS will be abandoned. ITT PS will have the portable generator permanently hooked up. The SSO Plan needs to include the after-hours phone number. ✓' The PS logs could be improved with more details of 0&M.Activities undertaken at the PS can be logged into the book by Henderson County staff as well as the ORC;just make sure to initial all entries.

The facility was found to be in compliance with permit WQ0004298. One issue noted during the review was with the cropping system for the land application fields. Field #01 had both corn silage and fescue listed as crops that received residuals in 2013. To ensure that nitrogen applications are correctly tracked, the fields should be divided for monitoring and reporting purposes. If the intent of the landowner is to continue to divide the fields between fescue and corn crops, the permit could be modified to reflect this change. This would be a minor modification requiring no permit fee. We recommend that you contact the landowner to determine future use of the fields. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report (Inspection Summary Page 2) for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at(828)296-4685.

The WWTP was experiencing excessive flows. MSD recorded flows at—72 MGD at the time of the inspection. Because several components of the system were flooded, a complete evaluation of the facility was impossible;another inspection will be performed to fully evaluate the facility during normal operations. Due to the overload a bypass was occurring during the inspection; refer to Incident#201400870. Effluent samples were obtained: Fecal Coliform: 3100/100ml, no daily max limit. Total Suspended Solids: 35 mg/I, no daily max limit. The following parameters are monitor only,with no effluent limit. U denotes less than.

The facility was found to be in compliance with permit WQ0001618. ne following information was incorrect, incomplete or should otherwise be addressed before future land application events: 1. The MSLSF form for the Richards Field 18-1 appears to be calculated incorrectly. The dry ton/acre/application should have been 1.525 instead of 2.15. Please review and if the calculations were done incorrectly,re-submit the data. The FSF form would also need to be recalculated as the cumulative metals totals would be incorrect. 2. The FSF forms for both application fields show fescue as the second crop. Please clarify if there was a first crop. 3. All of the fecal coliform samples collected for the alum residuals analysis were collected on the same day. The EPA manual Environmental Regulations & Technology, Control of Pathogens and Vector Attraction in Sewage Sludge recommends collecting samples over a 2 week period. 4. The Pathogen Certification Form listed the alum residuals as Class A; this should have been Class B with a geometric mean calculation for fecal coliform analysis. 5. The lime stabilization logs indicated that pH readings were temperature corrected but the initial and corrected pH readings were the same. Please re-submit the lime stabilization logs showing the corrected pH readings. 6. Soils Analysis: Field 18-1 showed a pH of 5.4. This pH reading was performed on a sample collected in December 2013 after all land application events. Prior to land applying any more residuals to this field,the pH of the field should be raised to 6.0. See permit condition III.101.

Skvarla, III Governor Secretary July 17, 2014 Hector&Aimee Diaz 44 McKinnish Cove Road Asheville,NC 28806 SUBJECT: Site Inspection Findings 44 McKinnish Cove Road Buncombe County Dear Mr. &Mrs. Diaz, On May 27, 2014, Tim Fox from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted a site inspection near 44 McKinnish Cove Road in Buncombe County. Tasha Alexander with the US Army Corps of Engineers was present for the inspection. During our review of the stream and wetland features of the area we observed a small on your y,i•operty. DWR understands that this activity was not permitted and a Notification of Unauthorized Activity has been issued to you by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The activity that has been performed will be authorized under a nationwide permit #18, Minor Discharge, with the Corps of Engineers. The Corresponding Water Quality Certification with the Division of Water Resources for a Nationwide#18 permit when issued by the Corps is a WQC No. 3890. Although this activity would not have been required to have written approval from DWR it still must meet the conditions of the WQC No. 3890. Please review the conditions of WQC 3890 attached. Other observations and reported concerns during our inspection involved water withdrawal rates and flow relocation below the impoundment area. As a general rule, a good guideline to practice is to not withdraw more than one half of the stream flow at any given time. One must ensure that there is a sufficient amount of water remaining in the stream channel to support any potential aquatic life. Excessive withdrawal of water could lead to Stream Standard Violation(Removal of Best Usage) —1SA NCAC 02B.0211 (2). This stream standard states that waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard. Please make sure that your withdrawal activity does not violate water quality standards. Issues involving riparian water rights are private matters between property owners.

All buffer rule requirements, including diffuse flow requirements, must be met. 9. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills. 10. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural conditions within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile, and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the approved maintenance areas)and restored to prevent erosion. 11. All temporary pipes/culverts/riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium during use of this General Certification. 12. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of ' temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved construction activity. All rip-rap shall buried and/or"keyed in"such that the original stream elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip-rap or other approved materials shall not result in de-stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the area. _ 13. Any rip-rap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density so as not to be able to be carried off by wave, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Rip-rap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank stabilization measures. 14. A one-time application of fertilizer to re-establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local regulations. 15. Applications for riprap groins proposed in accordance with 15A NCAC 07H .1401 (NC Division of Coastal Management General Permit for construction of Wooden and Riprap Groins in Estuarine and Public Trust Waters) must meet all the specific conditions for design and construction specified in 15A NCAC 07H .1405.

Irrigation will resume later this year. Effluent flow meter was calibrated by Mike Beck May 2,2014. Only one side of the WWTP is in operation due to low flow. The activated sludge is very thin due to the low number of houses on the system. There are 6 homes,the lake club and the pro shop contributing wastewater on a regular basis. Twenty-four condominiums are rented but not full-time. Mr. Beck does not do a settleometer reading or check the sludge in the clarifiers at this time as there is very little sludge in the system. The backwash system for the tertiary filter runs on a pressure differential. UV bulbs and tubes were replaced 3/20/14. The UV intensity is adequate based upon fecal results but the intensity indicator light does not work. A thermometer should be placed in the composite sampler. Irrigation is not occuring at regular intervals due to low flow volume. Effluent is either recycled through the WWTP and held in the 5-day tank or held in the irrigation tank. Freeboard 5-day tank=8 ft. Freeboard Storage Tank=10 ft. Signs around the drip field indicate use of high pressure lines for effluent distribution. Warning should also note reclaimed j effluent(non-potable). According to Mr. Beck, Marlin Atlantis now owns Bear Lake. A Name/Ownership Change Form should be submitted as soon as possible. The permit expires 9/30/14. A permit renewal application should have been submitted 180 days prior to expiration. BIMS does not show that an application has been submitted.

Skvarla, III Governor Secretary July 22, 2014 Ms. Cindy McGinnis, Hatchery Manager Case Farms, LLC 5067 Foreman Street Morganton,NC 28655 Subject: July 15'h Split Sampling Morganton Hatchery Burke County,NC Dear Ms. McGinnis, On July 15"', 2014 I met with Butch Edwards and Brian Wilson of Case Farms, and Tony Gragg of Water Tech Labs, Inc. to split groundwater samples from monitoring wells MW-3, MW-4, and MW-5 at the referenced facility. The groundwater samples were collected as part of the monitoring requirements for the Morganton Hatchery's Wastewater Irrigation permit. While collecting the groundwater samples, I noted the following deficiencies in the samplers' groundwater sampling techniques: 1. A minimum of three well volumes were not removed from the wells prior to sample collection. 2. Disposable gloves were not worn by sample collectors. 3. The same disposable tubing was used for all three wells. 4. The tubing was placed on the ground surface prior to placement within the wells. 5. The tubing was placed in the rear of a truck containing various refuse and debris between sample collections. In an effort to obtain the highest quality data reflective of aquifer conditions and to avoid cross- contamination of groundwater samples, I recommend making the following changes to your groundwater sample collection methods. 1. A minimum of three well volumes of water should be removed from the well prior to sample collection in order to collect groundwater from the formation that is representative of aquifer conditions (Note that other methods of well sampling are acceptable [e.g. low-flow sampling], but require additional equipment and training.). A well volume is the volume of water present in the well at the time of sampling. It can be calculated using the following formula: V=0.041 d2'h North Carolina Division of Water Resources—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)296-4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: http:/Iportal.nedenr.org/web/wq/ An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer A Ms. Cindy McGinnis July 22,2014 Page 2 of 2 Where V=volume of water in gallons, d=diameter of well in inches, and h=length of water column in feet (total well depth minus depth to water). Alternatively, for a 2-inch diameter well, there are 0.16 gallons per foot of water. If you calculate the length of the water column(total well depth minus depth to water) in feet, and multiply 0.16 you get the volume of one well volume in gallons. Multiply this number by 3 to get the volume of three well volumes in gallons. (Total well depth(ft)—depth to water(ft))x 0.16 x 3 =3 well volumes (gallons) Once three well volumes are removed the samples can be collected. If the well is pumped dry prior to the removal of three well volumes, the groundwater samples can be collected once the well recharges, and in this case it is not necessary to remove three well volumes. 2. Disposable gloves should be worn by all samplers handling equipment or sample bottles. Gloves should be changed between each well. 3. New tubing for each well should be used to collect groundwater samples. Tubing should be kept in a clean environment during storage and sampling. 4. Tubing should not be placed on the ground surface. If it is necessary to place tubing on the ground, it should be placed on clean plastic sheeting. 5. The pump used to purge the wells and collect the groundwater samples should be decontaminated prior to use and between use at each well. I recommend submersing and running your pump for several minutes in a 5-gallon bucket of water and Liqui-Nox liquid detergent followed by running the pump for several minutes in a bucket of clean water. Note that Liqui-Nox is specifically designed for this type of application as its ingredients will not interfere with the groundwater analyses if the recommended concentrations are used. As an alternative to using a submersible pump and tubing to collect your groundwater samples, you may consider the use of disposable bailers. A disposable bailer consists of a hollow tube with a check valve at the bottom and a loop at the top. To obtain a water sample, a line or rope is attached to the loop and the bailer is lowered into the well. The check valve allows water to enter the bailer, and as the bailer is raised the check valve closes storing the water within the bailer. The bailer can be used to purge the well and to collect groundwater samples eliminating the need to decontaminate a pump between wells. Three well volumes should still be removed from the well prior to sample collection using a disposable bailer. Making the recommended changes to your sampling procedures should aid in preventing cross- contamination of groundwater samples and provide you with analyses which are reflective of the groundwater at each sample location. It should be noted that the results of sampling and the quality in which the samples are collected can directly impact compliance with your permit. .ndy McGinnis 22,2014 age 2 of 2 Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the recommendations.

We wish to thank Mr. Rick Murrin,who was present and assisted during the inspection. The following items specify permit conditions that were in violation during the time of the inspection. (Also please refer to the attached inspection report): OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 1. Condition II.1. requires the facilities to be properly operated and maintained at all times. During the inspection several violations of this condition were noted as follows: a) The slap arrestor at the main pump station is broken. The arrestor must be repaired. b) Housekeeping Issues: There are lots of high weeds, empty buckets, debris etc. on and around the WWTP which pose a safety hazard. There were a number of buckets containing sludge from the scum baffles that were sitting around the WWTP. Several safety grates at the WWTP have started to rust. The area around the wastewater treatment plant should be cleaned up. Any sludge that is cleaned from the baffles should be taken immediately back to the sludge storage tank. Grates should be inspected and if any are determined to be unsafe, they should be replaced.

Condition I1.3. requires a suitable year round vegetative cover to be maintained on irrigation \ areas. During the inspection it was noted that the spray field beneath the power lines is covered with debris. The spray heads were not visible. The debris needs to be cleared from the irrigation field and the spray heads need to be relocated and repaired if damaged. 3. Condition I1.12. requires the 5-day holding pond to have a freeboard gauge with readily visible permanent markings. Caution must be taken not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. The freeboard gauge was not readily visible and there were a couple of holes in the liner. The freeboard gauge needs to be re-set in the S-day pond so that it can be easily read. There were a couple of holes in the liner that must be repaired. 4. Condition I1.13. requires trees, shrubs and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the earthen basin dikes or embankments. Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible. The 5-day pond had excessive vegetation growing on the inside top of the dam and between the WWTP and the pond. The wet weather storage pond had an excessive amount of weeds and small seedlings growing inside the fence. The area between the wet weather storage pond and the irrigation pump station building had a lot of tall weeds. The vegetation around both ponds must be cut. The seedlings must be removed from the dam on the wet weather storage pond. This issue was noted in the last inspection. GENERAL CONDITIONS Condition VI.9. requires at least six months prior to expiration of this permit, that the Permittee shall request its renewal. The permit expired on 2/28/2014, and the date by which the Permittee was required to submit a request for permit renewal was August 28, 2013. As of July 18, 2014, the Division has not received a request for permit renewal. You are required to take any necessary action to correct the above violations on or before August 22,2014 and to provide a written response to this Notice by August 22, 2014. Please include in your response all corrective actions already taken and a schedule for completion of any corrective actions not addressed. Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement action,to the Director of the Division of Water Resources who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more that twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars against any "person" who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms,conditions,or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S. 143-215.6A. Please note that each day a violation continues may be considered a separate violation, subject to additional civil penalties. Please see the Inspection Report(Inspection Summary Page 2)for additional comments.

Last effluent calibration:July 29,2013 by Laboratory Instruments Standby Generator Serviced:4/14/14 by Allan Dearth&Sons D.O. in AB:around 1.5mg/I Tertiary Filter media was replaced July 2013. A new pump is needed to pump solids from the clear well and mudwell. The UV system is not being used because it freezes up in the winter according to the ORC. Disinfection is accomplished using chlorine. Reclaimed effluent has never been sprayed on the golf course. The spray area beneath the power lines is covered with debris. All scrap material, soil, etc. should be removed and the sprayheads relocated and repaired if damaged to allow for irrigation. GW-59 for 2014 should be amended and re-submitted for corrections: MW#2 for pH&ammonia, MW#3 for pH. The TSS result on the January NDMR was<5.6 mg/L. Since the permit limit is 5mg/I, compliance cannot be determined. The contract lab should be informed of the permit limit so that the proper volume of sample is used in the analysis. WWTP Housekeeping: There are lots of weeds, buckets and debris on and around the WWTP which pose a safety hazard. There were a number of buckets containing sludge from the scum baffles sitting around the WWTP.There are a number of safety grates at the WWTP that are rusted and should be put on a replacement list. The slap arrestor at the main pump station is broken and needs to be repaired. The pipe from the tertiary filter to the mudwell is cracked and approximately 100 gallons of wastewater leaked out of the pipe onto the ground. Mr. Murrin indicated that he discovered the leak while backwashing the filter on the morning of the inspection.Wastewater did not reach surface water. Mr. Murrin patched the cracked pipe. He indicated in a follow up letter that he had applied lime and granular chlorine to the spill area. He indicated that he has contacted a service rep to look into replacing the pipe. Holding Ponds: 5-Day- Freeboard marker needs to be reset. The vegetation around the pond needs to be maintained. The small holes in the liner need to be patched. Wet Weather-vegetation and small seedlings need to be removed from inside the fence. The dam closest to the pump station is now completely covered in landscape grasses that will make inspection of the dam more difficult. A follow up inspection will be conducted for this facility.

The permit requires a MW to be placed down gradient of the dedicated application field. This MW is to be sited by August 28,2014. Land application occurred last week on the dedicated field at the WWTP. Buffer flags were still in place. The burn pile has been removed from the field. The burn area still needs to be reseeded and raked before it will be ready for land application. All of the scrap pipe that was stored at the dedicated field has been removed. Once this portion of the field is reseeded it will be ready for land application. Jonathan Hollifield is in the process of updating the map for the dedicated field. Application was occurring at the Henson site at the time of inspection. Dan Felde was land applying. Alum pond residuals from the WTP went on-line last year so flows and sludge production have increased.The facility might need to increase sludge holding capacity in the future.

The sample was collected in response to concerns of the well owner regarding their water quality due to their proximity to a regulated landfill. During the June 3, 2014 site visit,a water sample was collected from the homeowner's water storage tank, which is supplied water from the homeowner's well.The sample was analyzed for chloride, fluoride, sulfate, ammonia,nitrates,nitrites, selected metals, fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria,volatile organic compounds, and semi-volatile organic compounds. Iron was detected above its North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard(2L standard) and its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) secondary drinking water standard.No other constituents analyzed were detected above any applicable state or federal standard. Please review the analytical results and provide a health risk evaluation for the water sample. If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828) 296-4684.

Landon Davidson and Kevin Barnett with DWR were present for the inspection. 401 Water Quality Certifications(WQC)violations were noted during the inspection. As a result of the site inspection,the following violations were identified: VIOLATIONS I. 401 WQC Condition Violations-The WQC issued for the project specifies that the activities must follow all conditions listed therein. The following condition violations were noted: F Box Culverts (Culverts B & C)do not meet the conditions stated below related to aquatic life passage including the submission of the appropriate supporting documentation: Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 US Hwy 70,Swannanoa,NC 28778 Phone:828-296-45001 FAX:828-299-7043 Internet:hftp://portal.ncdenr,org/web/wq/ws An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Rutherford County/Clary Hood July 28,2014 Page 2 of 3 13.Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. Existing stream dimensions, (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile)must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be 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 or equal to 48 inches,to allow low flow passage or water and aquatic life. When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%,culvert burial is not required,provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when possible(rock ladders,crossvanes,etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a location map of the culvert,culvert profile drawings,and slope calculations shall be provided to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert. When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division including supporting documentation such as,but not limited to, a location map of the ,- culvert, geotechnical reports, photographs, etc. shall be provided to the Division a minimum of 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction,then the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery. If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in destabilization of the channel,then exceptions to this condition require application submittal to, and written approval by,the Division of Water Resources,regardless of the total impacts to streams or wetlands from the project. REQUIRED RESPONSE The DWR requests that you respond by August 25,2014. Your response should be sent to the attention of Tim Fox,Division of Water Resources,2090 US FIWY 70, Swannanoa,NC 28778 and should address the following items: 1. 401 Water Quality Certification Condition Violation As discussed during our last two on-site meetings, aquatic life passage must be provided for Culverts B &C.

The water sample was submitted for laboratory analyses of chloride, fluoride, sulfate, ammonia,total kjeldahl nitrogen,phosphorus,nitrate, nitrite, selected metals, fecal coliform bacteria, and total coliform bacteria. No constituents analyzed were detected in excess of their North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard or any applicable federal standard. Because several constituents were detected in your water supply, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE) of your water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. The HRE, which is attached, indicates that, based on the analyses performed, the water can be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, and showering. If you have any questions regarding the HRE,please contact Dr. Rudo at(919) 707- 5911. As we discussed on the phone,though no fecal or total coliform bacteria were detected in the water sample collected May 27ffi, our laboratory chemist reported that a non-coliform growth was observed on the growth plates for the coliform analyses indicating some type of bacteria is present in your water supply. The Division of Water Resources laboratory does not have the capability to identify the growth. The bacteria present may have the potential to impact your health. You should consider this as you make decisions regarding the use of your water. Additional well disinfection may resolve the problem. I have attached a brochure to this letter regarding well disinfection.

The Settlement Agreement was given as an option because it is currently being used as an option by the DWR for NPDES permits. The idea was that the permittee would make modifications to the WWTP which would address the problems causing limits violations and those enforcements would be held in abeyance until the upgrades were in place. However,Jon did not feel that we should use the Settlement Agreement for Non-Discharge permit limit violations. Instead,we agreed that the permit would be modified to reflect the modifications to the WWTP. The permit would contain a Compliance Schedule for upgrades to the WWTP. When the upgrades are completed,those NOV/REA's would not be considered for further enforcement. Any limits violations in the meantime would be RPJ in BIMS.All limits violations after WWTP upgrades will be considered as usual for enforcement action based upon current guidance. 15.

Skvarla, III Governor Secretary July 31, 2014 DWR# 13-1070 Avery County CERTIFIED IL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED 7012 1010 0002 1967 8852 Mr. Angelo Accetturo, Manager Elk Creek Development Company of Banner Elk, LLC PO Box 725 Banner Elk,NC 28604 Subject: Elk Creek at Banner Elk Project—Request for Additional Information Response Deadline: 60 calendar days of receipt of this letter Dear Mr. Accetturo: ,,The Division of Water Resources staff has been working to complete the review of the stormwater management plan for the Elk Creek project at Banner Elk. Unfortunately, the review was delayed for several months as the project was put on hold for a Notice of Violation at the site and we are now trying to facilitate the process to meet your needs. However,the design and engineering information received thus far has not been sufficient to enable us to perform a final review. We believe that most of the difficult design work has been done but some of the information is either not in a format that we can effectively review or it is not provided with the submitted plans. Accordingly, we are placing the review of the project on hold until all of the following issues are addressed and all of the requested information is received. 1. One of the most difficult issues slowing our review has been trying to interpret the plan drawings. Several of the sheets are extremely crowded and therein, difficult to evaluate. Some contain essential text and numbers that are printed over other information which makes reviewing and understanding the plans difficult. Please review the drawings that we received on 6/30/14 and revise them such that all text and numbers can be readily seen. Some of the other difficulties in reviewing the drawings are: a. There is very limited legend information or identification of symbols in most of the drawings. b. Combining erosion control and drainage on one drawing(sheet 4 or 9)unnecessarily complicates the critical drainage plan analysis. At this point, we do not need to see the erosion and sediment plan material. c. All drawings should be reviewed to determine what elements do not contribute to the understanding of the stormwater plan and those elements removed. Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,North Carolina 28778 Phone:828-2964500 FAX:828-299-7043 Internet:http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Mr.Angelo Accetturo DWR#13-1070 July 31,2014 Page 2 of 5 2. The most significant issue in reviewing the plans is the lack of clarity on the flow and destination . stormwater runoff. Our staff disagrees with you engineer's assertion that the existing drawings prove adequate information to enable a determination of drainage areas and stormwater volumes. From the available information, we cannot determine what area of the total site is to be treated by the wet detention pond. Your plans or engineering calculations and explanations should address the following issues: a. Will any of the stormwater from the upstream 7.1 acre single family area be treated in the basin? From the contour lines, it appears that some flow will enter the basin from this or other offsite areas. However,the 132,717 sf impervious area total presented in the drawings and the Supplement for the multifamily areas seems to be all that will be treated. The stormwater application form indicates 0 sf of offsite drainage area entering the site. Is this correct? b. The Wet Detention Supplement sheet shows a total drainage area of 327,757 sf but page 1 of 9 of the latest set of drawings shows a total project area of 479,159 sf. The Supplement shows 40.49%impervious and the drawing on page 1 of 9 shows 27.7%. Since several calculations use the total site impervious percentage, this figure must be accurate. Because of these and other inconsistencies, our review cannot proceed without revised drawings and supporting calculations. Please review you documents to assure consistency of the numbers. c. The"Site plan Drainage Calculation Check" on page 5 of 9 shows the peak flow calculations for a 7.54 acre site. Page 1 of 9 shows the multifamily area as having 11.0 acres. Why was the peak flow calculation only done for a portion of the site? Is this because some of the site is not draining to the stormwater treatment device? Although there may be an explanation, the i- information provided is unclear. We did not receive any additional documentation other than they plan sheets and the PCN. Some written explanation is needed. Also, you are to demonstrate how the runoff coefficient and intensity numbers were derived in calculating the "Historic Peak Discharge." 3. Similar to the issues cited in#2 above,the drawings submitted do not enable our staff reviewers to verify how much flow goes to each stormwater inlet and to the wet pond. This deficiency has been discussed with the project engineer and stated in our 6/12/14 note to John Vilas. However,we have not received any additional or revised information that enables us to review the stormwater flow aspects of the plan. Please provide a full-sized plan sheet(s) showing the entire site with all drainage areas, all impervious areas (with calculations), and all topography around the site perimeter along with areas contributing to flows entering the site. All stormwater drainage system devices, including every inlet, outlet and conveyance should also be shown. 4. There appears to be a ditch or open channel (with a wetland symbol?)that drains the southern part of the site yet the contour lines do not accurately reflect the presence of the channel. The plan should provide calculations for the open channel "ditch" indicating volumes and velocities with recommendations for any liners, matting and etc. to minimize erosion on the site. This information is also needed for the northern channel. 5. Based on the various plans received,the design engineer has chosen to provide design elements that are different from those specified in the Division of Water Resources' rules and design Manual. The Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual provides designs which have been approved in advanced J and, if followed, will expedite our review. There are also many"supplemental forms" linked on our web site that provide further guidance and specifics to assist the design professional in meeting the State's requirements. For design elements different than those in the Manual, you are required to demonstrate their effectiveness through calculations and other documentation to show that they provide "equal or better treatment." 6. The "Required Item Checklist" found via the supplement forms link shows the type of submittals that are needed for a wet detention pond BMP. http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/bmp-manual See the Wet Detention link under the `BMP Supplement Forms" and see the five attachments for a copy of the "Required Item Checklist." The most significant deficiency is the information listed as #5 "A table of elevations, areas, incremental volumes & accumulated volumes for overall pond and for forebay, to verify volume provided." We could not find any stage-storage information. Also,your plan must show how pond surface area and average depth were determined. See Chapters 3 and 10 of the Stormwater BMP Manual for examples. 7. The requirement that the discharge from the wet detention basin flow over a vegetated filter strip has been discussed with the engineer. This must be included in the final drawings and engineering calculations provided showing that there will be non-erosive flow through the 30' filter stip. The engineer's statement that because existing development has not caused erosion, no erosion should be expected must be supported with calculations documenting that position. It appears that some type of energy dissipating and flow spreading devices are needed. 8. Page 5 of 9 of the most recent drawings that we received (6/30/14) contains significant changes to the wet detention pond design from the previous drawing we had received (From J. Vilas 2/10/14). The staff communications with the engineer did not indicate that the forebay design was to be modified. Both submittals of the "Sediment Basin Plan" are shown as being sealed by the engineer on the same date (02/06/14). Please clarify that the wet pond design of the 02-06-14 drawing that was received on 6/30/14 is the intended design. That version of the "Sediment Basin Plan" drawing is at a 1"=30' scale while the previous one was at a 1"=20' scale. The littoral shelf is 6' wide and flat as compared to the earlier drawing which included a 10' sloped littoral shelf consistent with the BMP Manual's specifications. The differences in the drawings were noted to the engineer on 6/27/14 and we were surprised that the revised submittal did not address the date issue and the desired changes. The later (black and white)version contains an unusual forebay discharge design which seems to include contour lines that cross over each other. Is the stormwater detention capacity of the second design the same as the first?Also, because the newer design of the forebay is different from that in the BMP Manual, please explain how this design will provide "equal or better"treatment than that specified in the Manual. Please note that the area and"Q" flow information is also illegible due to double print. 9. The line indicating the Section A-A of drawing 5 or 9 is in the wrong location. 10. The Stormwater BMP Manual, the Supplement Sheet and EMC rule 2H .1008 require that the BMP should be located in a recorded drainage easement with a recorded access easement to a public ROW. The Supplement Sheet asked about this and your submittal recorded a"No." The need for an easement was mentioned in an earlier note to your engineer but we have received no correspondence addressing the issue. 11. The "Water Quality Notes and Calculations" on page 5 of 9 of the latest version(received 6/30/14) needs to be reviewed as there appear to be labelling mistakes. The drawing still refers to a"filter area" which was noted to the engineer earlier. The "V=... . . . .132,717.17 is not a volume but actually the square feet of impervious area and the "Volume provided in the filter area is 11,059.76 CF" is not the volume provided in the wet pond (or not in the"filter area") but the calculated volume necessary to treat the 1" storm. Similarly, #2 is not"The storage volume of the proposed pond"but is the "Total Mr.Angelo Accetturo DWR#13-1070 July 31,2014 Page 4of5 Required Storage". As has been mentioned, #1 indicates that there is a"volume of discharge from", parking area." Is the volume of discharge only from the"parking area" or is that statement in error?'.. 12. We strongly suggest that the detention pond riser structure be reconsidered and revised to be consistent with Section 10.3.9 of the Stormwater BMP Manual. We believe that the recommended design will provide for simpler maintenance and reduce the potential for obstruction compared to your proposed perforated riser design. Our manual requires that floatation calculations be provided. Also,please note that on the riser portion of the"Water Quality Notes and Calculations" section of drawing 5 of 9, it appears that the area of.0417 is stated in cubic feet not square feet. 13. The"Site plan Drainage Calculation Check"on page 5 of 9 refers to the "Total Drainage Area" of 327,756.69 sf or 7.54 acres. The "SITE DATA" on page lof 9 of the latest version(received 6/30/14) indicates that there are 132,727 sf of total impervious and 346,432 sf of"Open Space" for a total of 479,159 s£ Please explain the inconsistency in these values. 14. On the Erosion Control and Drainage Plan the statement regarding the retaining wall "design is to be determined during construction" is of concern. At a minimum,we need to know the specific elevations of the wall and the adjacent impervious areas in order to determine the fate of the stormwater runoff in that area. 15. As mentioned in an earlier note,the pond must be designed to prevent short-circuiting. The location of the outlet is close to one of the southern-most forebay and is likely to result in short-circuiting. Please reconfigure the pond or add a berm or baffle to increase the flow path for the stormwater that passes through this forebay. ` 16. Please revise and resubmit the Wet Detention Pond Supplement Form. Any indications of deficiencies must be addressed. 17. We are concerned over the stormwater runoff expected from the single family dwelling portion of the property. We are seeking to determine if there was an approved stormwater plan for these lots? Was the existing stormwater pond a part of that plan? We are looking into this and any information you can provide will help expedite our review. 18. Due to the confusion with several plan changes, please submit all components that you wish us to consider in one complete package. Please understand that this does not represent our final review of the stormwater plan submittal. There are significant areas where the absence of information or confusion regarding information submitted does not enable the technical review that is necessary. We recommend that your engineer review Chapter 10 of the Stormwater BMP Manual and related supplement forms and guidance provided on the Department's web site at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/bmp-manual to assure that the next submittal will comply with those specifications. Any deficiencies will result in future requests for additional information which will delay the approval of the stormwater plan. It is requested that all information discussed above be received in writing within 60 calendar days of receipt of this letter. If the information is not provided,the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee. Please send the requested information to the 401 and Buffer Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 and one copy to the Asheville Regional Office. .K you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions,please contact either Mr. Boyd DeVane -)19-807-6373 for stormwater related questions or Mr. Tim Fox at 828-296-4664 for any other 401 related questions. Sincerely, c G.
