Subject: Need for Erosion Control
Franklin Property
Transylvania County
Dear Mr.& Mrs. Franklin:
On June 26, 2007 1 inspected property on Frozen Creek Road in Transylvania County. I
observed a pond discolored by soil washed down from upstream. An investigation of the
stream flowing into the pond took me onto Paul McCoy Road. The largest amount of soil
exposed to erosion was observed at a road construction project on a piece of property at
the end of and east of Paul McCoy Road. Based upon my review of Transylvania County
on-line land records, the property on which this dirt/gravel road lies belongs to you.
Please call me at 828-296-4659. If you are the owner of the property on which the new
road has been constructed, you will need to immediately establish a vegetative covering
on all unprotected cuts, fills and eroded soil deposits. If you are not the owners of this
property we still need to talk. If I am away from my phone when you call please leave as
many phone numbers as may be used to reach you. You will be receiving a letter similar to
this from our Land Quality Section. It is critical that your respond to both communications.
Sincerely,
Roy M. Davis

Subject: Stormwater Runoff Damage
Dear Ms. Stubblefield;
Mr. Roy Davis and I visited your home at 23 Old Stage Coach Road on July 2,
2007. The visit was prompted by your phone call to our office and your report of
stormwater problems. Upon inspection of the site we determined that the stormwater
problems you are experiencing are not addressed by any of the programs administered by
the Division of Water Quality. To the best of our knowledge, no other state office within the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) has jurisdiction over these
problems either.
regret that we are unable to be of assistance in this matter.

1. 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.
2. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. 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.
4. Adequate sediment and erosion control measures shall be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities to
minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing activities
to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding
on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever
possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas.
5. In'-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the bridge shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practice For Bridge Demolition and
Removal, approved by the US Anny Corps of Engineers, is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
9. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into streams. Stonnwater shall be directed across the bridge and pre-
treated through site-appropriate means (grass swales,pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.)before entering
the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
10. 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.
11. Only clean and sediment free riprap shall be used and placed in surface waters.
12. The post-construction removal of temporary work pads will need to return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
13. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and j
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.

etzer,P.E.
2007

14. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
15. Heavy equipment should be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
16. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
18. If concrete is used during construction(e.g., headwalls), 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.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
20. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor, approved by this
authorization, shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by the certification.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S. or
protected riparian buffers.
24. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer, shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate
of Completion Form"to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions,please telephone Mr.Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500,

Dear Mr. Burton H. Baine:
Recently you were sent an Erosion Control Plan approval from the Division of Land Resources (DLR)
regarding the subject development activity. Accompanying the DLR letter was a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit No. NCGO10000. That permit
authorizes you to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina. Those point source
discharges are associated with activities such as clearing, grading, and other land disturbing and
construction activities.
The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to and to stress the importance of that NPDES
General Stormwater Permit. The requirements contained in the stormwater permit coupled with the
requirements called for by the Division of Land Resources are vitally important to the protection of the
waters of the State. If you have not already done so, you are urged to immediately read and adhere to
the stormwater permit requirements contained there in. Of particular importance are Parts I and II of the
permit.
Parts I and II set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your stormwater
discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the
requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections.
Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and
record keeping requirements as called for in the permit. The visual monitoring data results, along with
all other permit required records must be maintained on-site and made available to Division of Water
Quality representatives upon request and/or during inspections. The remaining parts of the Permit set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to stormwater discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc.

Dear Mrs. Young: Buncombe County
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on June 27, 2007. The facility appeared to be in Compliance
with permit NC0068152. Mr. Williams is doing a fine job of operating this facility. There
are several items, however, which need attention.
The fence surrounding the plant needs immediate repair to prevent access. 1lilS tvas
mentioned in the last inspection on 3130106.
Trees need to be trimmed back from above the plant to keep leaves and limbs from falling
into the basins and clogging the system. Shrubbery around the shed deeds to be
trimmed to keep it out of the working area.
A net should be provided to use in removing grease balls and debris which get into the
basins.
The water pump needs to be insulated to prevent freezing in cold temperatures.
The bar screen needs to be reworked to keep debris from entering the basin.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. 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. � \
2. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. 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.
4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands, 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, streambeds or banks, adjacent to, or upstream and down
stream of the above strictures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that equilibrium is being maintained, if
requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 297 linear feet of streams at a replacement ratio of 1:1 is required. On-site
znitiga.tion for 185 linear feet will be performed by the stream relocation. We understand, based on the 401
Certification Application that you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for the balance of 112 linear feet,
for stream impacts, through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program(EEP).
6. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area and stabilized before stream flows are diverted.
Channel relocations will be completed and stabilized, and must be approved on-site by DWQ staff, prior to
diverting water into the new channel. Whenever possible, channel relocations shall be allowed to stabilize for an
entire growing season. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should
include establishment of a 30-foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20-foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practicable. A transitional phase incorporating coir fiber and seedling
establishment is allowable. Also, ripra:p may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the
stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of
riprap coverage area.

Azer, P.E.
j07
hree
7. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained orl tide prc:_J:ct site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary rover (wheat_, millet or similar anneal
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as these slopes
graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever
possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
8. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during th:: trout-spavrning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
9. For projects impar"ting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High.
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or 11 (WS-I, WS-11), stonriwater shall be directed to vegetated buf7er
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storniwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
10. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not lse modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall-be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
11. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black: walnut arid]
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
12. Riprap shall not be place in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a nyianm-r that preclud s
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
13. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
14. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather, .than in the stream channels in order to rninirrilze
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
15. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained t>prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
16. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid impeding a,.tuatic life
movement.
17. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures fi-orn t17e
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock bends,
cofferdams and other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
19. If concrete is used during construction (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream-water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at the construction site at a!? times. In
addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the
Division Engineer and the on-site project manager.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State v:ater quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Ac;t) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If D WQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,D«VQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste; rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone exc;,.pt for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.

Mr. J. B. Setzer, P.E.

Dear Sirs and Madams:
I am writing you for the reason that investigation indicates that each of your homes is
served by an individual grinder pump station which puirnps the sewage generated
homes to sewers belonging to the Metropolitan Sewerage [,�,Litrict of Buncorrilhe County
(MSD). In each case the pump belongs to each of you. The original builder(s) of y(}LIr
homes installed individual grinder pump stations for tha reason that i asonable access I.o
public sewer by gravity was not available.
Each of your grinder pump stations discharge through a force main to a public sewer in the
center of Greenleaf Circle just beyond Greenleaf Circle Extension. Residents of that i~lrea
have for several years experienced occasional offensive odors. We conclude that tile
odor probably results from the discharge of sewage from your grinder pump stations ill to
the public sewer. Sewage held for an excessive period of time in your grinder punip
station wet well can start to.decompose giving cuff an offensive odor. When that sewag , is
discharged to the public sewer odiferous gases may be. released through roof vents id7 area
homes.
The MSD has taken several steps to reduce neighborhood odors such as increased sewer,
line cleaning, the sealing of manholes; and the placing rg of deodorant pillows in area
manholes. You could help reduce the potential for odors by ri�grit it�g the length of tim e

sewage remains in your wet well. This could be accomplished by making adjustments to
the floats which turn the pump on and off causing the pump to run more often. Reducing
the length of time the sewage remains in the wet well reduces the opportunity for the
creation of odiferous gases. You could achieve a similar result by running more water
through the purnp station.
Your neighbors would appreciate any help you could offer in reducing the intensity and
frequency of the odor problem. Please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659 should
you need to discuss this matter. I thank you in advance for your assistance in resolving
this situation.

1. 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.
2. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. 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.
4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands, 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 anc,—1
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, streambeds or banks, adjacent to, or upstream and down
stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that equilibrium is being maintained, if
requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)]. Temporary cover
(wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within
fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating should
be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are
defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place
with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
6. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
7. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and--
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction. �"/

,zer,P.E.
nree
10. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a manner that precludes
.aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
11. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid impeding aquatic life
movement.
15. 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 should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
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 (e.g.,headwalls), a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at 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. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
21. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
22. 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.
23.Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of

Dear Mr. Decker,
Enclosed please find a copy of Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
Wastewater Treatment Plant Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on June 6, 2007.
Don Price of the Asheville Regional Office conducted the Compliance Evaluation Inspection
(CEI). The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NCO021547 at the time of the
CEI, with the exception of composite sample collection being conducted at the facility.
The time and assistance of Wayne Price's staff in conducting the CEI is appreciated.
It is suggested the Town of Franklin research the means necessary for composite sample
collection at the WWTP. This should include flow studies to determine if flows vary by more
than 15%, and upgraded flow meters that the plant may need in order to meet permit
conditions. A more detailed discussion regarding composite sample collection requirements
is included in the attached inspection report and summary. Please review and respond to
this letter within 30 days of receipt regarding the WWTP's findings on flow proportional
sampling, and the facilities intentions on such. If you have questions regarding this report or
other issues relating to the wastewater treatment plant, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Hollifield`
The Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality for conditions
on and around your property on the Cane River, in the community of Pensacola, in Yancey County.
The recommendations for enforcement concerns violation of state law for the Removal of Best Uses
of a stream [Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B0211(2)]. Also, if the United States Army
Corps determines that the activity on the site necessitated a 404 Permit from the Corps, the violation,
Failure to Secure a 401 Certification, [Title 15 North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0500] would
also exist. The violations occurred on the Cane River in the French Broad River Basin. The Cane
River is classified as High Quality Waters; Water Supply-11; Trout waters of the State. The Division of
Water Quality made observations on April 19, 2007.
Removal of Best Uses Title 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) — The excavation/removal of rock from the
river bed below the ordinary high water mark is considered a Removal of Best Uses of that water
resource under 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) which states; The waters shall be suitable for aquatic life
propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture;
sources of 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.

McDowell County
Dear Mr. Singh:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$658.57 ($450.00 civil penalty + $208.57 enforcement costs) against Marion Travel Plaza.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Marion Travel Plaza for the month of January
2007. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0086428. The violations, which
occurred in January 2007, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Marion Travel Plaza violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO086428 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in
the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established
by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the
terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Roger C Edwards, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

$658.57 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which �y
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty
assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the
violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil

,y assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an
Anistrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
Aministrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in
dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil
penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
- --(4) whether-the violator had been assessedcivil penalties for any previous violations; or -
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response
will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil
Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for
Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of
Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both
forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Elizabeth Kountis
THROUGH: Roger Edwards
FROM: Linda Wiggs _/1n/'
SUBJECT: ARO Recla/ssiJ/f�ication Request for Catawba Basin Rivers to HQW/ORW
In a memo dated February 5 , 2007, Asheville Regional. Office (ARO)
requested several watersheds in the Catawba and French Broad River Basins
be evaluated for reclassification to High Quality Waters (HQW) or
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) . The request was made because the uses
or quality of the waters may not be adequately reflected by the current
classification, and therefore may be lacking adequate regulations for
protection. The watersheds requested for reclassification were chosen
from the French Broad and Catawba basins in an attempt to conserve
Division resources by coinciding this request with the Basinwide Cycle.
Also, in an attempt to further alleviate time and resource restraints, a
distinction between High Quality Waters and Outstanding Resources Waters
was not made. Instead, based on the data obtained, Environmental Sciences
Branch (ESB) staff will recommend the most suitable classification.
This memo is a modification of that request supporting the need to
reclassify waterbodies in the Catawba River Basin. The number of
watersheds requested has been reduced to only include those with the
highest priority. In order to assist in the process of reclassification
available data is tablulated, pertinent DWQ indexing information is
provided, as well as watershed descriptions and maps . Modification for
the French Broad Basin request will follow at a later date .

Aassification Request for Catawba Basin Rivers to HOW/ORW
.Lew:
watersheds are requested for reclassification in the Catawba River Basin.
zse watersheds may be suitable for High Quality Waters (HQW) or Outstanding
..esource Waters (ORW) classification based on the following three criteria:
1 . Physical, chemical, or biological data indicating excellent water
quality.
2 . A unique or threatened resource.
3 . Existing or anticipated land uses in the watershed requiring added
regulations to maintain or protect resource.
Benthic and/or fish communities, evaluation from the Environmental Sciences
Branch (ESB) is needed to determine if a more protective classification is
suitable .
The current classifications of the requested watersheds are "C" or "C-Trout" ,
with some recreational "B" waters as well . Although the Trout Classification
does afford the streams added protection, it may not be enough to avoid adverse
impacts to these watersheds . The most eminent source of degradation to these
watersheds is development demands . HQW/ORW watersheds have added protection
for development under the existing State Stormwater Program. Also, Local
Governments falling within the requirements of Phase II Stormwater Program
provide protection. Without either of these programs in place, water quality
in sensitive watersheds is threatened.
Prioritization:
The Planning Branch and ESE have received many requests to reclassify streams .
In order to aid in the effective use of Division resources, ARO has prioritized
.s requested streams given the following considerations :
1 . Potential and existing threats to water quality and aquatic species .
2 . Available benthic and fish data rating waters excellent in quality.
3 . Aquatic listed species data.
From a Regional perspective, watersheds deemed to be in group (1) above were
given the highest priority in selecting watersheds for immediate evaluation.
The concern for degradation due to potential and existing threats is based on
development demands in the area surrounding the watershed. Corresponding lack
of regulations is based on whether or not the Local Government has a Phase II
Stormwater Program; as well as the current DWQ classification of the stream.
Watersheds at the top of the prioritized list tend to be watersheds without any
DWQ data. However, because Basinwide sampling is underway on several of the
requested waterbodies, if the latest data confirms HQW/ORW suitability, then
these waterbodies will proceed to be recommended for reclassification
regardless of prioritization.
Attachments :
To further depict watershed information, each priority watershed has a brief
description followed by an illustrative map.
Table I is the modified list of requested streams from the original list dated
February 5, 2007 . Listed in order of priority are stream name, current
classification, stream index, and data.
15A NCAC 2B.300 is included for each requested stream segment denoted.
Note: Please visit the DWQ "Interactive Maps for Stormwater Permitting Areas"
—bsite http: //h2o.enr. state .nc.us/su/msi maps .htm. These maps show the
aportance of the prioritization considerations because they illustrate the
areas without any State or Local Government Stormwater Programs . These areas
are indicated in the legend as "None, Inc/UnInc Area" usually a grey/beige
color.

Bailey Creek, Dales Creek, Unnamed Tributary to
James, White Creek
.e James is the first lake in the Catawba chain. Several years ago a primary
Andholder, began selling off or developing the land. Since this time
development has been pervasive . There are several small watersheds feeding
Lake James that may still meet HQW/ORW quality. These watersheds currently hold
only a "C classification in areas where no Local Stormwater Programs exist .
The Lake James buffer rules do not apply to tributaries feeding the lake, only
to the shoreline . This is a beautiful lake and the area is experiencing a
surge of resort or second home development . There are four watersheds of
concern: Bailey Creek, Dales Creek, an Unnamed Tributary to Lake James and
Whites Creek. All of these watersheds are in close proximity along the North
shores of Lake James near the McDowell and Burke County lines .

ATERSHEDS REQUESTED
Fork Catawba: McDowell County, Class "C-Tr" , Index number 11-24- (1)
11-24- (13) . The North Fork of the Catawba flows to Lake James from the
chern section of McDowell County. It is a fairly large watershed that
-ready encompasses some HQW designations . The watershed has mixed uses
including agriculture, rural residential, industrial, mining, and resort
property. Although most of the watershed holds a Trout classification mixed
with some HQW, it is possible that more of the watershed will qualify for HQW.
And given the proximity to Lake James the growth potential is high. Currently
McDowell County does not fall under the Phase II Stormwater; therefore it is
pertinent that the State provides the necessary protection for this watershed.
Johns River Little Mulberry Creek Guys Creek:
Avery, Burke, and Caldwell County, Class "B, C&C-Tr" , Index number 11-38- (1)
thru 11-38-33 . The Johns River watershed already has several HQW/ORW
designations. It is likely that the remainder of the watershed may meet HQW or
ORW status . The watershed is primarily forested with rural residential .
However, demands for resort or second home development are increasing. There
is no consistency to the classifications in this watershed, although it is
expected that the water quality may demonstrate consistent quality. Most of
the upper portion of the watershed falls within Caldwell County, which is a
county with a Phase II Stormwater Program. The remainder falls within Avery and
Burke County, neither having a county wide Stormwater Program. The watershed
has exhibited excellent water quality data along with rare species . In order
to maintain consistent protection through out this watershed, it is requested
that waterbodies within this watershed not already classified HQW/ORW be
considered for HQW/ORW classifications .

Dear Mr. Martin and Mr. Struck:
The;,Division of Water Quality is in receipt of your submitted information, dated
June 7, 2007, in which you allege that the Property Owners Association is not
responsible for the road repairs, and subsequent sediment released to waters of
the state as previously cited in issued Notices of Violation and Recommendations
for Enforcement.
As attached, you will find a copy of Rutherford County Deed Book (Book 386
Page 416) which clearly states that the "extend not provided by public authorities,
the cost of maintenance, capital improvements, operation, taxes and other
expenses incident to the roads and streets, regardless of whether dedicated to
the public or as common properties, shall be borne by the P.O.A." As the water
quality violations were a direct result of, or lack of, maintenance of the roadway in
question, it is the position of the Division of Water Quality to pursue restoration
through the legally obligated entity.

Removal of Best Usage (earthen fill)
Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Turbidity Standards
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Anthony:
On June 7, 2007, Mike Parker of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) performed a
site inspection of the failed impoundment structure. On June 14, 2007, Kevin Barnett of
the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), along with Lori Beckwith of the US Army
Corps of Engineers (COE) and David McHenry of the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), inspected the dam failure at Balsam Mountain Preserve. It was
observed that the upper impoundment had failed, discharging sediments and de-
stabilizing the receiving stream for a significant distance.
During the inspection DWQ staff collected measurements took photographs and made
visual observations of sedimentation and earthen fill impacts to an unnamed tributary to
SugarLoaf Creek (Class C), SugarLoaf Creek (Class C), Scott's Creek, Class C, Tr), and
the Tuckasegee River (Class B, Trout), located along the subject tract. The site drains to
the Tuckasegee River, a Class B, Tr (trout) stream, located in the Little Tennessee River
Basin.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below,
are noted:
(1) Removal of Best Usage (earthen fill)
(2) Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
(3) Turbidity Standards

Item I. Removal of Best Usage (earthen fill)
The act of allowing fill (sediment) to impact approximately 8 miles of streams represents
violations of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2), which states that the 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.
Item II.Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
The act of allowing fill (sediment) to impact approximately 8 miles of streams represents
violations of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f, which states that oils; deleterious substances;
colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the waters injurious to
public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the
palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated uses;
Item III. Turbidity Standards
The downstream turbidity reading of 400 NTU represents violations of 15A NCAC 02B
.0211 (3)k, which states that the turbidity in the receiving water shall not exceed 50
Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) in streams not designated as trout waters and 10
NTU in streams, lakes or reservoirs designated as trout waters; for lakes and
reservoirs not designated as trout waters,the turbidity shall not exceed 25 NTU.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
Transylvania County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Shipman:
The Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The
recommendation concerns discharge of fill material and water quality violations around your
property located on Lyda Creek Road in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina.
Specific matters include; violation of state law found at Section 143-215.1 of the General
Statutes of North Carolina [discharge without a permit] plus violations of Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 213.0211(2) [loss of best usage] and 2B.0211(3)(c) [settleable solids violation].
The violations occurred in and around Lyda Creek, class C-trout waters of the state. The Division
of Water Quality made observations on July 12, 2007.
Section 143-215.1 'General Statutes of North Carolina — The referenced section of State Law
mandates that no person, without having received a permit, "make any outlets into the waters of the
State . . .or . . . cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any
manner intermixed with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable
the assigned classifications . . .unless allowed as a condition of any permit, special order or other
appropriate instrument issued by the Commission. . . " (emphasis added). Observations and
measurements made on the property revealed sediment from land disturbing activity in Lyda Creek
sufficient to establish violations of State water quality standards. The accumulated sediment
confirms existence of an outlet and violation of the cited General Statute.
Section 2B.0211(2) of Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (15ANCAC) — The cited
section describes the water quality standard for best usage and loss of best usage. Sediment from

land disturbing activity had entered class C-trout waters of the State and accumulated to depths ot"
up to 15 inches in violation of the referenced portion of the Administrative Code. The impacted
segment of Lyda Creek totaled approximately 300 feet in length.
15ANCAC 2B.0211(3)(c) — The water quality standard for settleable solids is established at
the specified section of the Administrative Code. Settleable solids deposits up to 15 inches in depth
impaired a segment of Lyda Creek making the water unsafe or unsuitable for aquatic life and other
designated uses.
If you have an explanation for the described violations that they wish to present, please
respond in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of this Notice. The explanation will be
reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, the explanation will be forwarded
to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration.

Item I. Removal of Best Usage (earthen fill)
The act of placing fill (rock and soil) in streams represents violations of 15A NCAC 02B
.0211 (2), which states that the 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.
Item II. Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
The act of placing fill (rock and soil) in streams represents violations of 15A NCAC 02B
.0211 (3)f, which states that oils; deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only
such amounts as shall not render the waters injurious to public health, secondary
recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish,
aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated uses;
Item III. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification
DWQ site visits and file review confirmed that impacts occurred without a 404 Permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A file review indicates that the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (COE) has not authorized use of a 404 Permit for this activity nor has
notification been provided to the COE for this activity. The file review confirmed that a
Pre-construction Notification has not been received by the Division of Water Quality for
this project and that a 401 Water Quality Certification has not been issued. A Pre-
Construction Notification submitted to DWQ is required prior to the above-mentioned
impacts pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500.

$208.57 Enforcement Costs
$771.07 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty J
assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the

,ation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil
enalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an
administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in
dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil
penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response
will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil
Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for
Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of
Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both
forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

believe support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your
request for remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration
of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether
the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil
penalty assessment document. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil
penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors applies. Please
check each factor that you believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation,
including copies of supporting documents, as to why the factor applies (attach additional pages
as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors
are listed in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent
future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the
violation was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you
from performing the activities necessary to achieve compliance).

On June 6, 2007, Division Aquatic Toxicology personnel initiated a 3-Brood Ceriodaphnia dubia pass/fail
toxicity test on the effluent from the Tryon WWTP. The samples were collected on June 4-5 and 7-8, 2007
by facility staff and split by ARO staff.
The result of the test indicated that the subject discharge met criteria set forth in established standards. At
the instream waste concentration of(IWC = 37%), predicted by the low stream flow 7Q10 of 4.00 cfs and
the permitted discharge volume of 1.5 MGD, 75% survival occurred in the test population with a treatment
mean reproduction of 20.6 neonates. The control population exhibited 100% survival with a control mean
reproduction of 26.4 neonates. Thus, the test was recorded as a "Pass". Other measured water quality
parameter results were: first sample, pH=7.73 SU, conductivity=1180 micromhos/cm, TRC=<0.0052 mg/I;
second sample pH=7.48 SU, conductivity=1560 micromhos/cm, TRC=<0.0052 mg/l.

Mark Jones, ORC, assisted in the inspection of this facility.
This wastewater treatment facility consists of 15 separate septic tanks and subsurface sand filter systems
(one tank/filter for every two mobile home spaces), a collection line, chlorine contact chamber, and effluent
discharge pipe.
I drove through the park and saw no evidence of ponding or apparent problems with the septic tanks and
subsurface sand filter systems during this inspection.
Review of the files and Discharge Monitoring Reports shows there has never been a discharge.
Mr. Jones was able to locate the effluent discharge pipe on April 5, 2006.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:

Amit payment of the penalty:
,yment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

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

In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Req,
Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulal.,
Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality'G

TWSA No. 1 WWTP
NPDES Permit Number NCO039578
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Cline:
On December 6, 2006, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject
Special Order by Consent (SOC) whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent limitations
for BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform from those imposed by the NPDES Permit, in exchange for the
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's (TWSA) commitment to a schedule of wastewater
treatment plant improvements that will return the WWTP to compliance with the terms of the NPDES
Permit. The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of stipulated penalties when modified limits
are exceeded or schedule dates are not met.
A review of the facility's monitoring report for April 2007showed the followed violation:
Parameter Date Limit Value Reported Value Limit Type
Total Suspended April 7, 2007 75 mg/I 84 mg/l Weekly Average
Solids
You are directed to immediately take whatever remedial actions are necessary to correct the
problems that have led to this violation. Section 3 of the SOC stipulates that a penalty in the amount
of$1000/violation shall be paid for noncompliance with any modified limit contained in the SOC.
However, Section 4 of the SOC lists circumstances under which stipulated penalties are not due,
essentially stating this provision is applicable when the Division of Water Quality can be satisfied the
non-compliance was caused by events or circumstances beyond the control of TWSA.

SUBJECT: ARO Fecal Coliform Sampling for 2007
During 2006 the Ambient Monitoring System identified two sites classified
"B" waters in the French Broad River Basin to have elevated fecal
" coliform numbers . The French Broad River at Rosman and the French Broad
River at Blantyre showed elevated levels during the calendar year of
2006. In 2007, follow up "5 in 30 sampling was initiated to determine
if standard 2B. 0219 (3b) was violated.
The 2007 sampling on the French Broad River occurred from May 17, 2007
through June 7, 2007 . There was no significant rainfall, nor were there
any SSO' s reported on these dates .
During this time the both French Broad River at Rosman and Blantyre met
the standard 2B. 0219 (3b) : fecal coliform not to exceed a geometric mean
of 200/100 ml based upon at least five consecutive samples examined
during any 30-day period, and did not exceed the standard of 400/100 ml

Dear Sir or Madam:
Recently you were sent an Erosion Control Plan approval from the Division of Land Resources (DLR)
regarding the subject development activity. Accompanying the DLR letter was a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit No. NCG010000. That permit
authorizes you to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina. Those point source
discharges are associated with activities such as clearing, grading, and other land disturbing and
construction activities.
The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to and to stress the importance of that NPDES
General Stormwater Permit. The requirements contained in the stormwater permit coupled with the
requirements called for by the Division of Land Resources are vitally important to the protection of the
waters of the State. If you have not already done so, you are urged to immediately read and adhere to
the stormwater permit requirements contained there in. Of particular importance are Parts I and II of the
permit.
Parts I and II set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your stormwater
discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the
requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections.
Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and
record keeping requirements as called for in the permit. The visual monitoring data results, along with
all other permit required records must be maintained on-site and made available to Division of Water
Quality representatives upon request and/or during inspections. The remaining parts of the Permit set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to stormwater discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance,bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Recently you were sent an Erosion Control Plan approval from the Division of Land Resources (DLR)
regarding the subject development activity. Accompanying the DLR letter was a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit No. NCGO10000. That permit
authorizes you to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina. Those point source
discharges are associated with activities such as clearing, grading, and other land disturbing and
construction activities.
The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to and to stress the importance of that NPDES
General Stormwater Permit. The requirements contained in the stormwater permit coupled with the
requirements called for by the Division of Land Resources are vitally important to the protection of the
waters of the State. If you have not already done so, you are urged to immediately read and adhere to
the stormwater permit requirements contained there in. Of particular importance are Parts I and 11 of the
permit.
Parts I and I1 set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your Stormwater
discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the
requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections.
Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and
record keeping requirements as called for in the permit. The visual monitoring data results, along with
all other permit required records must be maintained on-site and made available to Division of Water
Quality representatives upon request and/or during inspections. The remaining parts of the Permit set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to Stormwater discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc.

Stormwrater Management Permit Application

Clay County
Dear Ar. Reffitt:
The Division of Water Quality received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for the
subject project on May 30, 2007. Our review has determined that the application requires
additional information prior to approval. We need the following information,in order to conduct a
complete review:
1. Our office requires that qualified registered North Carolina design professional stamp design
calculations and drawings. None of the calculations or drawings are stamped.
2. One of our requirements (15A NCAC 02H.1006 (2) (b) ) for the low density option is that
stormwater runoff be transported primarily by vegetated conveyances. Our rules require
that the side slopes be no steeper than 3:1 (15A NCAC 02H.1008 (c) (2) ) and that the
longitudinal slope be no greater than 5%. The plans submitted detail side slopes at 1.5:1,
with a hand written note saying that they will be constructed at 3:1. This change should be
incorporated into the plans to be stamped prior to re-submittal. If the longitudinal slope is
greater than 5%, calculations must be shown detailing shear stress and velocity. Using the
calculated shear stress and velocity, appropriate channel liners must be specified such that
the ditches will be vegetated.
3. The narrative states that the roads are 18' and 12' wide. The plans show road footprints to
be 25' wide. The plans must match the narrative.
4. One of our requirements (15A NCAC 02H.1006 (2) (c) ) for the low density option is there is
30-foot wide vegetative buffer. The plans show a 25-foot buffer.
5. The plans are difficult to read. It is our understanding through conversations with your
consultant that the original plans were in color. Please submit original plans in future
submittals.

Town of Franklin

Franklin, North Carolina 28734
SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Franklin
Wastewater Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00101
Macon County
Dear Mr Collins:
Attached you will find the report resulting from the Compliance Evaluation
Inspection which I conducted on July 12, 2007. The purpose of the inspection was to
evaluate the Town of Franklin's sewage collection system operation and maintenance
program. It was my determination that the Town is doing a good job of caring for its
collection system.
During the inspection I determined that the Town of Franklin charges
approximately three times more for the treatment and distribution of water as it does for
the collection and treatment of sewage. This surprised me for the reason that many towns
find that the cost of collection and treatment of sewage is the same as the treatment and
distribution of finished water. In fact, some Towns find that sewerage cost are more than
costs relating to finished water. I suggest that the Town of Franklin look at its actual cost
of collection and treating sewage to determine if sewer charges are sufficient too meet
those costs.
With regards to observations made during the July 12, 2007 inspection:The Town
of Franklin needs to modify it's Collection System Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) by
the addition of a goals statement and description of the existing collection system.
Pump station logs need to be modified by the addition of places to record ;
inspection and exercising of valves and inspection and lubrication of pumps.
The Town has done a good job in terms of providing a map of the collection
system. The map should be modified to show pump stations' pumping capacity and sewer
age. The latter piece of required map information will take a while but will be very useful
for those who will be responsible for system maintenance in the future.

Dear Sirs:
On February 28,2007, Division of Water Quality(DWQ) and Division of Land Resources (DLR)
staff from Asheville Regional Office and the Central Office conducted a site visit of the above
subject site. During the site visit DWQ and DLR met with Mr. William E. McCoy and Mr.
Anatoli Karatchoun.

Sereni'y
Buncom;
NOV-2007-S.
During the site visit, DWQ noted several houses under construction by various owners upslope
and in the drainage area of the stream onsite, an Pr,ear W DWQ also
noted an adjacent and upslope residential area off of Fallen Spruce Drive known as Mt. Carmel
Village developed by Scenic View Terrace, LLC. Also during the site visit, DWQ staff observed
a stream crossing, measuring approximately 20 feet in length, with two pipes installed. Mr.
McCoy explained that this crossing has been in place a number of years,however one of the pipes
was installed recently. Upstream of this crossing, approximately 50 feet the streambed had been
excavated and there were several rock check dams installed. Mr. McCoy and Mr. Karatchoun
explained that this was in response to Buncombe County's request. Downstream from the
crossing DWQ observed approximately 270 linear feet of stream impacted from 8" to 12" of
sediment and approximately 15 linear feet impacted from an in-stream sediment basin with an
installed riser. DWQ records indicate that the sediment impacts are on the property of Mr.
McCoy, Lot #'s 5807 and 4021, according to the Buncombe County website. Mr. McCoy and
Mr. Karatchoun explained that the sediment basin was also in response to Buncombe County's
request.
Downstream of the sediment basin, DWQ observed a large area of land disturbance and fill
material for development purposes including Lot # 5296 owned by Scenic View Terrace, LLC
and Lot # 6576 owned by Anatoli and Lyubov Karatchroun, according to the Buncombe County
website. This fill material and land disturbance was located near the intersection of New
Leicester Highway and Timberwood Drive. Under this fill material, more than 400 feet of the
stream has been impacted from earthen fill and pipe installation. A large borrow pit was also
observed on Lot#6576 with an installed corrugated pipe leading to the roadside ditch.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations and issues are detailed
below:
1. Removal of Best Usage
2. Other Waste(In-stream sediment)
3. Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
4. General Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Item 1. Violation of Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2)-Removal of Best Usage
The streambed excavation, installation of the rock check dams, installation of the stream crossing,
installation of the sediment basin and riser within the stream, and the placement of earthen fill
and pipe represent violations of Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2) which states, "The 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."
Item 2. Violation of Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f—Deposition of Sediment
The stream impacts from sediment deposition represent violation of Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(3) f which states "Oils; deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as
shall not render the waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and
wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any
designated uses;"

Serenity Forest Site
Buncombe County
NOV-2007-SS-0007
Item 3. Violation of Title 15A NCAC 2H .0500 — Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality
Certification
The impacts in Item 1 require authorization from DWQ with a 401 Water Quality Certification.
DWQ file review revealed that a 404 permit Nationwide 39 was issued to David Day for 150 feet
of stream impacts. DWQ observed impacts to over 400 feet of stream from earthen fill and pipe
installation. The file review also confirmed that a Pre-construction Notification has not been
received by the Division of Water Quality for this project and that a 401 Water Quality
Certification has not been issued.
Item 4. Construction Stormwater General Permit NCGO10000
Land disturbances of 1 acre or greater, including the large area of land disturbance located near
the intersection of New Leicester Highway and Timberwood Drive (Lot# 5296 owned by Scenic
View Terrace, LLC and Lot # 6576 owned by Anatoli and Lyubov Karatchroun), requires an
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan approved by the Division of Land Resources or the
appropriate delegated agency. Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan,
the site is also covered under a General Permit (NCG010000) to discharge stormwater under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in accordance with Title 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code 211 .0100.
Adherence to the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan is an enforceable component
of the General Permit. The General Permit not only requires that you follow the specifications of
the approved Plan, but also includes inspection and record keeping requirements for the project
site. Some of the other major permit requirements are outlined below. A full copy of this permit
(NCGO10000) may be obtained on line at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/Forms—Documents.htm#StormwaterGP or at your request.
A. A rain gauge must be maintained on site and a record of the rainfall amounts and
dates shall be kept by the permittee.
B. The permittee must inspect all erosion and sedimentation control measures at least
once every seven calendar days [more often in some areas (Part I, Section B-1)] and
within 24 hours after any storm event of greater than 0.5 inches of rain per 24-hour
period.
C. Stormwater runoff discharges must be inspected by observation for stormwater
discharge characteristics as defined in the permit (Part I, Section B-2) at least once
every seven calendar days [more often in some areas (Part I, Section B-1)] and within

Beginning June 1, 2007 and lasting through December 1, 2007 any reportable SSO will
result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV). Beginning on December 1, 2007
civil penalties will be assessed for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface
waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, or recreation area closures.
Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional and
whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Stormwater Management Permit Application

Dear Mr. Fritts:
The Division of Water Quality received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for the
subject project on June 6, 2007. Our preliminary review has determined that the project is not in
compliance with the rules governing the Stormwater Management Permit program. The following
items must be clarified or changed prior to receiving approval:
1. One of our requirements (15A NCAC 02H.1006 (2) (b) ) for the low density option is that
stormwater runoff be transported primarily by vegetated conveyances. While you may have
rip-rap lined channels in small areas (for instance where slopes are steep) the majority of
the conveyances must be vegetated in order for the project to conform to the low density
option. The plans submitted show primarily rip-rap lined ditches with side slopes at 2:1.
Our rules require that the side slopes be no steeper than 3:1 for vegetated conveyances
(15A NCAC 02H.1008 (c) (2) ).
2. The plans show the majority of the ditches to be steeper than 5%. If the longitudinal slope
is greater than 5%, calculations must be shown detailing shear stress and velocity. Using
the calculated shear stress and velocity, appropriate channel liners must be specified such
that the ditches will be vegetated.
The Division of Water Quality is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed
application to issue the permit. Original documents must be provided; copies are not
acceptable. Two copies of all plans, specifications, and permit documents must be submitted. If
you have any questions, please contact me via e-mail at [e-mail].

Beginning June 1, 2007 and lasting through December 1, 2007 any reportable SSO will
result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV). Beginning on December 1, 2007
civil penalties will be assessed for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface
waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, or recreation area closures.
Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional and
whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any question regarding this NOV or our policy relating to issuance of NOVs

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated June 15, 2007 (received June 20, 2007),
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. 3634. This Certification corresponds
to Nationwide Permit Number 33 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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 will expire with the accompanying 404
Permit.
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 the
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

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.
2. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. 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.
4. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing,,_,"
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes
graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever
possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
5. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or 11 (WS-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. Bridge deck drains should 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 the most current version of the Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Best
Management Practices Manual.
8. Demolition and Removal of the old bridge structures must follow US Army Corps of Engineers requirements.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods,black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. Riprap shall not be place in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
11. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. /_
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimiz%.:'
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.

�e
The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the bridge shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
15. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures such as
sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in flowing
water.
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(e.g., headwalls), a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at the construction site at all times. In
addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the US
Forest Service or the on-site project manager.
20. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
21. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
22. 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.
23. Upon completion of the project, the Federal Highway Administration Project Engineer shall complete and return the
enclosed "Certificate of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has
been completed. This form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality,2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250,Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.

It was discovered that a flocculant is added to the influent at the influent pump station in order to improve
settling in the dual fiber settling basins. This may cause the WWTP classification to be modified to a
physical chemical class in addition to the current Grade I biological class.
Please note the need for the weeds and other vegetative growth to be keep mowed around the waste water
treatment plant and also the effluent pipe.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Sfio
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new ovmt_
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible: for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. 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. ,
2. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. 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.
4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands, 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, streambeds or banks, adjacent to, or upstream and down
stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that equilibrium is being maintained, if
requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within fifteen(15) days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes
graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever
possible,live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
6. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of January 1 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
7. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High"
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.

��.E.
fhe dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. Riprap shall not be place in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
11. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained to prevent
.contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid impeding aquatic life
movement..
15. 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 should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
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 (e.g.,headwalls), a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at 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. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
21. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
22. 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.
23. Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250,Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.

nature of the additional flows is such that the waste characteristics do not exceed those generally
.associated with domestic waste or are pretreated to domestic strengths. Waste of greater than normal
domestic strength may be accepted if the parameter(s)that exceed normal domestic strength wastewater are
not those for which interim limitations have been developed and it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the Director the additional waste will not adversely affect the treatment efficiency of the treatment system
for any modified parameter or result in the violation of any other permit limitation. All new and proposed
industrial waste tributary to the system must be controlled using all needed mechanisms including but not
limited to adoption and implementation of industrial waste control and pretreatment ordinances. No
wastewater can be accepted which will add toxic pollutants in quantities not generally associated with
domestic wastewater characteristics,unless the acceptance of the additional wastewater can be supported
through appropriate analyses acceptable to the Director.
6. This Special Order by Consent and any terms,conditions,and interim effluent limitations contained herein,
hereby supersede any and all previous Special Orders,Enforcement Compliance Schedule Letters,terms,
conditions,and limitations contained therein issued in connection with NPDES Permit No.NC0031879. In

Dear Mr. Gamble:
Recently you were sent an Erosion Control Plan approval from the City of Asheville-Stormwater
Services Division regarding the subject development activity. Accompanying the letter was a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit No. NCG010000. That
permit authorizes you to discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina. Those point
source discharges are associated with activities such as clearing, grading, and other land disturbing and
construction activities.
The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to and to stress the importance of that NPDES
General Stormwater Permit. The requirements contained in the stormwater permit coupled with the
requirements called for by the City of Asheville-Stormwater Services Division are vitally important to
the protection of the waters of the State. If you have not already done so, you are urged to immediately
read and adhere to the stormwater permit requirements contained there in. Of particular importance are
Parts I and II of the permit.
Parts I and II set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your stormwater
discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the
requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections.
Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and
record keeping requirements as called for in the permit. The visual monitoring data results, along with
all other permit required records must be maintained on-site and made available to Division of Water
Quality representatives upon request and/or during inspections. The remaining parts of the Permit set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to stormwater discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc.

Dear Mr. Thomason:
Recently you were sent an Erosion Control Plan approval from the City of Asheville-Stormwater
Services Division regarding the subject development activity. Accompanying the letter was a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit No. NCG010000. That
permit authorizes you to discharge Stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina. Those point
source discharges are associated with activities such as clearing, grading, and other land disturbing and
construction activities.
The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to and to stress the importance of that NPDES
General Stormwater Permit. The requirements contained in the stormwater permit coupled with the
requirements called for by the City of Asheville-Stormwater Services Division are vitally important to
the protection of the waters of the State. If you have not already done so, you are urged to immediately
read and adhere to the stormwater permit requirements contained there in. Of particular importance are
Parts I and II of the permit.
Parts I and II set forth the minimum visual monitoring and reporting requirements for your stormwater
discharge. In particular, Part I, Section B describes the visual monitoring frequencies and locations, the
requirement to maintain a rain gauge onsite, and the need to maintain a written record of all inspections.
Upon commencement of your land disturbing activity, you must initiate the visual monitoring and
record keeping requirements as called for in the permit. The visual monitoring data results, along with
all other permit required records must be maintained on-site and made available to Division of Water
Quality representatives upon request and/or during inspections. The remaining parts of the Permit set
forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to stormwater discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc.
