' $119.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $147.50 Enforcement Costs $266.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B- 282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of: Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Resources 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 _wring, 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 Resources 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 Water Resources 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.

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).

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) -reed or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty _,ssessment 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 Resources 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 Water Resources 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).

Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

Irrigation with reclaimed water is beneficial and also allows the components of the system to be exercised regularly to ensure proper operation. This was noted in the last inspection. If you have no plans to ever use this system, you may want to consider rescinding the permit. Regarding Permit# WQ003435O: Even though you are not distributing reclaimed water from this system you are required to document the volume of water used in wash down of the thickeners and the residuals storage area. Please begin documenting in your operation/maintenance logs the volume of reclaimed water used at the WWTP.

Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic � life movement during low flows. Existing stream dimensions, (including the cross section dimensions,pattern, and longitudinal profile)must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low now passage or water and aquatic life. When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%, culvert burial is not required,provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when possible (rock ladders, cross vanes, etc.). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations shall be provided to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert. When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division including supporting documentation such as, but not limited to, a location map of the culvert, geotechnical reports,photographs, etc. shall be provided to the Division a minimum of 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery. If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Resources, regardless of the total impacts to streams or wetlands from the project.

The variance request is for the construction of two (2) geothermal aqueous closed-loop wells to be constructed at 98 Riverview Drive, in Asheville, Buncombe County,North Carolina. Based upon the information provided by Clearwater Well Drilling, it is my finding that the factors specified are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC 02C .0241. The granting of this variance is for the location of the wells with respect to the building foundation only and in no way relieves the owner or agent from other requirements of the applicable North Carolina Well Construction Standards (NCAC 2C .0222), or any applicable law, rule, or regulation that may be regulated by other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision,you may commence a contested case by filing a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision.

Staff has to do more maintenance since the bar screen failed; mixers and pumps are more frequently becoming impeded or clogged since the bar screen broke. Operational difficulties arise from the faulty air system and I&I issues. This facility is under a SOC and will begin a multimillion dollar(-4 Million) upgrade to the WWTP next month. Repairs to the collection system are also forthcoming. On July 28, 2014, the inspector spoke with Radford Thomas regarding the SOC and AOC requirements. SOC Items Discussed: *Proper Notifications-Quarterly Reports were being sent to EPA and the DWR Central Office. According to the SOC (2 (e))written notice shall be made to the Asheville Regional Office (ARO). Previous quarterly reports sent to EPA and the Central Office have been received in the ARO as of 7125/2014. Mr. Thomas was informed that the Scheduled Activity to Begin Construction of WWTP Improvements with a Due Date of September 1, 2014, could be submitted to ARO via an email. NOTE: the Completion of the Chlorine Disinfection Facilities has already taken place;this system has been installed and operational since December 12, 2013, as noted in the Fourth Quarter 2013 Report. *Additional Flow—The SOC (2 (a) and 5) discusses additional wastewater flows to the WWTP not to exceed 0.1 MGD. The City will have to maintain their flow tracking during the SOC timeframe. The ARO has issued one Fast Track Sewer Permit for 1,109 GPD to this facility.Also discussed were vacant industrial sites and how this flow tracking could be accomplished if new tenants were to occupy the building. At this time the City is considered compliant with their notification of the SOC scheduled activities. Bar Screen Note:An email was sent on 8/12/14 documenting the bar screen was put in place and operational on 8/7/14.

This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Certification/Authorization. If you change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold,the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and General Certification(s)/Permit/Authorization and is responsible for complying with all conditions. 2. The designer or his designee shall supervise the installation of in-stream structures. 3. The permittee will provide on-site supervision of stability work including, but not limited to bank re- sloping, culvert installation, in-stream structure placement, and riparian zone re-establishment, by an appropriately trained individual. 4.

The Permittee shall take all reasonable measures to construct in-stream structures while keeping heavy equipment out of the stream channel. Stream flow will be diverted around work areas as much as practicable.

Based upon the information provided by Mr. Small, it is my finding that the factors specified are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC 02C .0118. This variance will be effective for a period of six (6)months beginning from the date of issuance. Please not the variance conditions, listed below, regarding construction of these wells.

The water sample was collected in response to your concerns regarding potential impacts to your water supply from the White Oak Landfill. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analysis of chloride, fluoride, sulfate, nitrate,nitrite, selected metals, fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, volatile organic compounds, and semi-volatile organic compounds. No nitrates,nitrites, fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, volatile organic compounds, or semi-volatile organic compounds were detected in the water sample. Iron, a naturally-occurring metal, was detected in excess of its North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater standard (21, standard) and its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) secondary drinking water standard. Several other naturally-occurring constituents were detected in the water sample. However, none were detected in excess of their 2L standard or any applicable federal standard. Because several constituents were detected in you water supply, I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE) of your water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. The HRE, which is attached, indicates that, based on the analyses performed,the water can be used for drinking, cooking,washing dishes,bathing, and showering. However, due to the concentration of iron, aesthetic problems such as bad taste, odor, and staining may occur. If you have any questions regarding the HRE, please contact Dr. Rudo at (919) 707-5911.

A Comments: Lenoir Mirror:This old industrial site has direct stormwater conveyances to the receiving stream in the vicinity ofthe wastewa ter treatment and solids handling units;because of their proximity special attention to housekeeping and incidental spillage when managing the wastewater and solids must be adhered to.There also appeared to be conveyances with unknown outfalls in the vicinity of the west side of the building(site plan indicates these areas as:still room,loading dock and hazardous waste storage areas). Where these conveyances drain to needs to be determined. Regardless of whether these conveyances go to the stream or to the wastewater treatment units, Lenoir Mirror needs to have a sufficient slug/spill prevention plan accounting for these conveyances to avoid contamination to the stream or the POTW. DAFCO: A white influent was observed at the Lower Creek WWTP at 11:00 am on 7/29/2014. City staff visited DAFCO at 11:15 am on 7/29/2014 and observed a white effluent from this facility into the collection system.DAFCO was visited on 7/30/2014 by Linda Wiggs,Monty Wall and Ronnie Hendrix.The operation did not have any effluent flow discharging into the sewer during the site visit. Observation of the manhole receiving the effluent from this facility indicated heavy buildup. This facility is emptying totes and then cleaning the totes to be reused. The totes are—300 gallons each and are reportedly(most of the totes are not labeled)filled with a glue liquid from Tailored Chemical Products, Inc.There are a vast number of these totes warehoused in this old furniture industrial site.It was difficult to accurately determine the wastewater treatment units and their effectiveness due to their inundation of the white glue liquid and residuals. The POTWs indicate impacts which warrant an IUP be established for DAFCO. Also,the buildup in the collection system has to be remedied.

Skvarla, III Governor Secretary August 25, 2014 Clinton Carpenter 1078 Hares Creek Road Robbinsville,NC 28771 Re: Sample ID (AC10403) Sample location address: 1078 Hares Creek Road Graham County,NC Dear Mr. Carpenter, Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your water supply well located at the address referenced above,on July 7, 2014. The sample was analyzed for the semi-volatile organic compounds shown on the attached laboratory report. Your water supply well was sampled because a subcontractor working on behalf of Duke Energy sprayed an unknown quantity of herbicide along a utility right-of way and inadvertently applied the product directly around your well head.According to the subcontractor,possible products used may have included: Rodeo, Lineage-Clearstand, Milestone, Spectacle,or Polaris. It is important to note that none of the active ingredients associated with these pesticide products are directly detectable with our laboratory's analytical methods and equipment. However,the laboratory can tentatively identify a much wider range of compounds by collecting a semi-volatile organic sample.Analytical results from your water supply well indicate no detections or tentative hits associated with the semi-volatile organic sample. In speaking with representatives of the North Carolina Pesticide Section,keeping the well head clear of vegetation and woody debris will likely prevent the future application of herbicides near your water supply well. Our regional office will be in contact with the subcontractor (Southeast Woodland) to insure policies and training are in place to protect all drinking water supplies. I will also inquire about a"no spray"program for residential properties. I will contact you directly if additional information becomes available. Please contact me immediately if you notice any changes to the quality of your drinking water in terms of sight, smell, or taste. I am also available if you have any additional questions or concerns.You can contact me at (828) 296-4681 or brett laverty ncdenr.gov.

A permit renewal application is due 6 months prior to expiration. The submersible pumps in the EQ basin have been temporarily replaced by air lifts. Air lifts were installed because the pumps were frequently clogged according to Juanita James.The current bar screen/basket was put in place in 2009 and replaced a more typical bar screen because the screening was not adequate. If air lifts are to be permanently installed,the permit will need to be modified. The media(sand/anthracite)in the tertiary filter is scheduled to be replaced by the middle of August. The sand filter is clogged and cannot be backwashed at this time. Dissolved oxygen levels are generally between 1.5-2.5 mg/I in the aeration basins. A sludge judge should be purchased for this facility. Sludge from the 2 digesters is pumped and hauled to MSD. The tanks were last pumped on 6/13/14 (6 loads at 3600 gal/load.)

Conceptually,these changes will eliminate the infiltration of process water to the subsurface and no longer contribute to the observed reducing conditions present in the filter traps and aquifer system.The Division appreciates Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation's efforts to upgrade the wastewater system and commitment to addressing groundwater issues at the plant. As indicated in your letter,permit modifications to the permitted flow volume and the amount of residuals applied would need to be addressed through permit modifications.The NPDES permit contact is Ron Berry(ron.berry ncdenr.gov) and the residuals management permit contact is Jon Risgaard (ion.risgaard@ncdenr.gov).The Asheville regional office will continue to provide support and assist where possible to facilitate these permit modifications. In your letter,you indicate that the proposed new system will be completely above ground resulting in the elimination of any process water releases to the soil and water table. Based on these changes,you propose the following conditions to which we have provided a response based on the regulatory requirements of 15A NCAC 2L.0200: ® Monitoring will continue for 2 years after the current system is closed. ® Response:NCDENR requires groundwater monitoring through DWR permits(e.g.,NPDES, non-discharge, etc.)and through regulatory requirements imposed on an entity when a groundwater violation has occurred. Determining the duration of monitoring is difficult due to fluctuations in groundwater chemistry, varying rates of attenuation, etc. DWR is however very flexible and open to reviewing anygroundwater monitoring requirements on a frequent basis to reduce costs while maintaining quality data collection and compliance to applicable regulatory requirements. Groundwater monitoring for many NPDES permits is required for the duration of the system operation. Groundwater monitoring for sites with groundwater standard violations is required usually one year(assuming levels have stabilized)after Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,North Carolina 28778 Phone:828-2964500 FAX:828-299-7043 Internet:http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation August 29,2014 Page 2 of 2 groundwater standards or natural condition concentrations are achieved.Evaluation of risk �\ to receptors is also a factor in determining monitoring frequency. ® Iron levels will be deemed to be no longer impacted by the effluent treatment process on the site. ® Response:DWR agrees that by upgrading the system as proposed,you will be removing any communication between the groundwater and wastewater components. 15A NCAC 02L .0106(c)(3)requires removal, or treatment and control of primary pollution sources. Upgrading the system will satisfy the 15A NCAC 02L.0106(c)(3)corrective action requirement by removing/replacing what DWR believes is the primary pollutant source. ® No further action would be required if levels of iron remain stable and do not increase after 2 years of testing. ® Response:As previously stated, it is difficult to predict the concentration of constituents in groundwater over time, especially metals. The need for continued testing and the frequency of required testing will depend on concentration trends and other factors as previously stated. The DWR will continue to assist Blue Ridge Tissue in reducing sampling frequency and sampling points while maintaining quality data collection and regulatory compliance. Your letter references the issuance of a No Further Action (NFA) letter by NCDENR. NFA letters are only issued by NCDENR and therein,DWR, after completion of corrective action and only when DWR has required an`action'through a regulatory notice issued to a responsible party(i.e., Notice of Violation). To-date, Blue Ridge Tissue has not been issued a Notice citing regulatory requirements as DWR determined that additional groundwater assessment was necessary to establish naturally occurring concentrations and to evaluate compliance boundary monitoring ' well locations. Following evaluation of recent groundwater analytical results at the compliance boundary wells,DWR will be able to provide a more specific course of action for future regulatory requirements. Please feel free to contact me if you need further clarification or have any additional questions or concerns. Please understand that DWR remains committed to assisting Blue Ridge Tissue through this upgrade process. I can be contacted at(828) 296-6481 or brett.laverty@ncdenr.gov.

Dear Mr. Crowell: On August 15, 2014, staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), inspected Crowell Farms and the permitted waste disposal system. As a result of this inspection, you are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non-discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T .1304, you have been found to be in violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan(CAWMP)as follows: Violation 1 : Failure to maintain a protective vegetative cover on the storage pond embankment in accordance with Condition II. 12. of Animal Waste General Permit No. AWG200000. On August 15, 2014, staff from the Asheville Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at Crowell Farms. The dam on the irrigation pond was covered with small trees, woody vegetation and weeds to the extent that the dam could not be inspected. This has been noted in past inspections. Required Corrective action for Violation 1 Please provide to our office, a description of activities you plan to take to establish,or maintain existing, vegetative growth.If the removal of trees, shrubs or woody growth is necessary,you may need to consult with a technical specialist or engineer to ensure the integrity of the storage pond is maintained. Water Quality Regional Operations—Asheville Regional Office 2090 US Hwy 70,Swannanoa,NC 28778 Phone:828-296-45001 FAX:828-299-7043 Internet:hftp:l/portal.ncdenr.orglweb/wglws An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Mr.Michael Crowell August 29,2014 Page 2 of 2 Violation 2 Failure to provide lessee and landowner agreements in accordance with Condition I11. 11. of Animal Waste System General Permit No.AWG200000. On August 15,2014, it was observed that: Lease agreements for leased land application fields were not provided. Required Corrective Action for Violation 2 Secure lease agreements for all leased fields. You are required to take all actions necessary to correct the above-referenced violations.Within ten (15)days of your receipt of this letter,you are required to submit a written response.Your response should include all corrective actions already taken and a schedule for completion of any corrective actions not addressed. Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement action, to the Director of the Division of Water Resources who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more that twenty-five thousand($25,000)dollars against any"person"who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions,or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S. 143-215.6A. Two additional issues noted during the inspection include: 1. Although you have a verbal agreement with Taproot and Small Acres Dairies for use of land application equipment,your permit requires a lease or other written agreement for the use of the necessary equipment. A written agreement should be secured. 2. You have pumped sludge from the upper slurry pond and mixed with wood chips to dry for land application. This material is not included in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). Your WUP should be updated to include this material prior to land application. Additionally, your WUP is for 450 head which is not reflected in your current Certificate of Coverage (COC). You should contact Buncombe County Soil& Water Conservation District to get recertified at 450 head even though the system was originally designed for 700 head. The new certification and WUP should be submitted to the Central office in Raleigh. Please refer to the attached inspection report for additional comments. If you have any questions concerning this Notice,please contact Beverly Price at(828)296-4500. Sincerely, G.Landon Davidson,L.G.
