Dear Mr. Foutz:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$266.50
($119.00 civil penalty+ $147.50 enforcement costs) against GGCC Utility Inc.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by GGCC Utility Inc. for the month of December 2013. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0023124. The violations which occurred in
December 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that GGCC Utility Inc. violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023124 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 Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson, Division of Water Resources
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

$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.
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 Resources 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 Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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

Inspection Summary:
This site visit included a tour of the facility.
Sludge from the other 3 facilites and WWTP#1 is mixed in the upper aerobic digester. The thickened sludge from the upper
digester is sent to the lower digester and mixed/aerated further. From here the sludge goes to the belt-press and then to
the dryer.
The maintenance/operation logs were good.
Dried sludge is stored in the silo. A Non-Hazardous Manifest is filled out each time the hauler comes to pick up residuals.
A Spill Control Plan is located on the back of the manifest. Soil Plus, Inc. is currently taking the sludge. Kinsland Trucking
out of Whittier, NC is hauling the product for Soil Plus(Scott Carpenter). In addition to the nutrient analysis performed by
Tuckaseigee, Mr. Carpenter has the product analyzed for nutrient content by A&L Eastern Labs.
Mr. Bryson indicated that he might need to send some product to the landfill to make room in the silo.

Dear Ms. Glenn:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$266.50
($119.00 civil penalty+ $147.50 enforcement costs) against Susan Glenn.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report(DMR) submitted by Susan Glenn for the month of December 2013. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or

$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)
-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). 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 Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
DWQ Case Number: MV-2014-0012 County: Caldwell
Assessed Party: Susan Glenn/ Blackberry Ridge WWTP
Permit No.: NCO055611 Amount Assessed: $266.50
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"Request For Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"
form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you 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).

Dear Mr. Smith:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Forms from the inspections
conducted on July 25, 2014. The facility was found to be in Compliance with the Subject permits.
Regarding Permit# WQOO19962: Even though you do not have a minimum irrigation requirement with
the reclaimed utilization system, we encourage you to make the necessary repairs to the irrigation system.
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.

The Division of Water Resources conducted a compliance inspection on July 22, 2014 to resolve NOV-2013-
PC-0121 and to check for 401 Water Quality Certification compliance. Stream Restoration work had been
undertaken. However, riffle and pool features were not installed and a small unstable area(head cut) was
observed near the top of the project area. Since the on-site inspection, a boulder step detail has been submitted
,__,to DWR as a resolution to correct the unstable area. As a result of the work completed thus far the additional
conditions of the previously approved 401 Certification have been modified and are outlined below.
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

conducted at a minimum of quarterly for the first year, or until two bank full events have occurred, and
then annually until the site is stable and vegetation is successful. Any failures of structures, stream
banks, or vegetation may require future repairs or replacement, which requires coordination with the
Asheville Regional Office.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested.
This Certification can be contested as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of General Statute 150B by filing a written
petition for an administrative hearing to the Office of Administrative Hearings (hereby known as OAH) within
sixty (60) calendar days.

13. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a
manner that the original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic �
life movement during low flows. Existing stream dimensions, (including the
cross section dimensions,pattern, and longitudinal profile)must be maintained
above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be
below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a
diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for
culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low 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.

Asheville,NC: PIN# 963885858600000
Dear Mr. Richardson,
On August 14, 2014,the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
received a request, submitted on your behalf, for a variance to the North Carolina Well Construction
Standards, specifically Rule 15A NCAC 02C .0222(e)(5)(B). 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.
Please contact Andrew Moore if you should have any questions or need additional information at

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present during the inspection were Monty Wall and Donnie Hawkins.
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.

Discharge Without Valid Permit
Water Quality Standard Violation-Removal of Best Usage
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Barrier:
On August 5, 2014, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Resources (DWR) responded to a report of a discharge of wastewater to surface waters at
your facility in Caldwell County. Mr. Brad Sain and you were present.
As a result of the site inspection,the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
(1) Illegal discharge
(2) Violation of water quality standards
Violation I. Discharge Without Valid Permit
G.S. 143-215.1 (a) states that no person shall do any of the following things or carry out any of
the following activities unless that person has received a permit from the Commission and has
complied with all conditions set forth in the permit: G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1) -- Make any outlets
into the waters of the State.
Violation II.Violation of Water Quality Standards
White-colored wastewater and glue solids associated with your company's operations were
observed in an unnamed tributary to Lower Creek and Lower Creek. A number of dead fish were
also observed. The observed liquid and material, as well as dead fish, indicated a violation of
water quality standards set forth in 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)(f) - 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.

In response to the discharge, the Division understands you accomplished the following:
® Stopped the discharge and implemented steps to prevent such an occurrence in the future
® Removed the solids from the unnamed tributary to Lower Creek
® Collected remaining wastewater from a pool at the fringe of Lower Creek
® Reported the incident to the Lenoir Police Department, as sabotage to the wastewater
discharge line was suspected
® Provided a written report of the incident to the Division
As you noted in your written report, the City of Lenoir and the Division did visit the DAFCO site
during the week prior to this incident. However, significant problems have been identified,
specifically related to the build-up of glue-like materials within and blockage of the sewer
collection system receiving wastewater from your facility. In order to avoid further action from
the Division your cooperation with the City of Lenoir is required.
Thank you for your attention to these matters and the remedial actions you undertook. Should
you have any questions regarding these matters,please contact Linda Wiggs at 828-296-4653 or
linda.Nviggs@,-ncdenr.gov or Chuck Cranford at 828-296-4650 or chuck.cranford@ncdenr Gov.

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. This authorization exempts the Permittee from meeting Condition#7 (Work in the Dry) in the attached
general certification for the placement of in-stream structure material into Beaverdam Creek. 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. All reasonable steps must be taken to limit the amount of disturbance in the channel and to
therefore reduce downstream turbidity during construction. This exemption does not relieve the
Permittee of meeting stream standards as indicated in 15A NCAC 02B.
5. Visual monitoring of the stabilization project shall be conducted at a minimum of quarterly for the first
year or two bankfull events (whichever is longer), and then annually until the site is stable (particularly
after storm events) and vegetation is successful. Any failures of structures, stream banks, or vegetation
may require future repairs or replacement, which requires coordination with the Asheville Regional
Office to ensure the stability and water quality of the stream and downstream waters.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested.

Dear Ms. Sullivan,
On August 19, 2014,the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR)
received a request, submitted by Andrew Small, for a variance to the North Carolina Well
Construction Standards, specifically Rule 15A NCAC 02C .0108(h). This rule requires that a one
foot thick seal, comprised of chip or pellet bentonite, be emplaced directly above and in contact
with the packing material. The variance request is for the construction of ninety-three (93) electrical
resistance heating wells to be constructed in the unconsolidated formation,nineteen(19) electrical
resistance heating wells to be constructed in bedrock, sixteen(16) monitoring wells, and(four)
vapor recovery wells at the Moog Components property, in Murphy, Cherokee County,North
Carolina.
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.
This variance shall be subject to the following specified conditions as follows:
1. Grout shall be placed in the annular space between the outermost casing and borehole wall
from the land surface to the top of the packing material. The grout shall extend a minimum
of three feet from the ground surface and shall be composed of concrete or cement type
grout.
2. A copy of this variance shall be attached to the Well Construction Record (Form GW-1) for
each well.

The granting of this variance is for the bentonite seal only and in no way relieves the owner or
agent from other requirements of the applicable North Carolina Well Construction Standards
(NCAC 2C .0108), 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.
Please contact Andrew Moore if you should have any questions or need additional information

Re: Water Supply Well Analytical Results
Sample IDs AC09206 and AC09241
6543 White Oak Road
Haywood County,NC
Dear Mr. Strivelli,
Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected June 3, 2014 from the
water storage tank supplied by your well at the referenced address. 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.

Dear Mr. Wall:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection report from the inspection I conducted
on July 30, 2014. Present during the inspection were you and Ronnie Hendrix. The program appeared to be in
compliance with permit NC0023736. However, there are items with the industries we visited during the
inspection that need to be addressed. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for important observations
and comments.
I have also reviewed the Pretreatment Annual Report(PAR) covering January through December 2013. My
review indicates that the PAR is in good order and satisfies the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0908(b) and the
Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs. The next PAR will be due March 1,
2015.

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.

Dear Mr. Bortnick:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection report from the inspection I conducted
on July 31, 2014. Present during the inspection were you and Gregg Padgett. The program appeared to be in
compliance with permit NC0041696.
I have also reviewed the Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) covering January through December 2013. My
review indicates that the PAR is in good order and satisfies the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0908(b) and the
Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs. The next PAR will be due March 1,
2015.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff

via email 8/14/14. The Stormwater sentence on Waste Reduction sheet should be removed as it was mentioned',
during the inspection that the staff-is unclear why that was present. - — -
Kleen Tech Notes:
For the first half of 2014 Kleen Tech appears to have gained compliance with their lUP. Kleen Tech has installed
additional treatment units as well as treatment additives in an effort to resolve IUP compliances issues and citizen
complaints. It appears the efforts to improve the process at the facility to meet the IUP and the citizen complaints are
proving to be effective. I did point out areas of the Kleen Tech facility where slug/spill prevention measures could be
improved.
POTW Notes:
TA was performed in July 2013 by Barbara Sifford. The WWTP has been compliant with their NPDES Effluent
Limits in 2014, but is still having elevated MLSS and increased Sludge.

Re: Sample ID (AC10403)

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.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This permit expires November 30, 2015. 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.)

Dear Mr.Banks:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Collection System Inspection Form from the inspection conducted on 7/29/2014. The facility was
found to be non-compliant with the Deemed Collection System requirements.
The requirements for your sewerage collection system can be found in 15A NCAC 02T .0403, Permitting By Regulation. These
regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater
collection system with average daily flows of less than 200,000 gallons per day. I have included a copy of the regulations for your
reference.
The following items were missing at the time of the inspection:
1. An updated map including pipe size, approximate age,material and pump station capacity.
2. An Operation & Maintenance Plan to include pump station inspection frequency, preventative maintenance schedule, spare
parts inventory and overflow response.
3. A Grease Control Program as follows: For privately owned collection systems, the Grease Control Program shall include at
least bi-annual distribution of grease education materials to users of the collection system.
If you have any questions concerning the regulations or those items that were missing please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.The assistance of Mr. Trevor McMinn was
greatly appreciated during the inspection. If you or your staff have any questions,please call me at(828)296-4685.

conditions.
2. This authorization exempts the Permittee from meeting Condition 47 (Work in the Dry) in the attached
general certification for the placement of in-stream structure material. 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. All reasonable steps
must be taken to limit the amount of disturbance in the channel and to therefore reduce downstream
turbidity during construction. This exemption does not relieve the Permittee of meeting stream

letter and General Certification(s)/Permit/Authorization and is responsible for complying with all
conditions.
2.` This authorization exempts the Penmittee from meeting Condition#7 (Work in the Dry)in the attached
general certification for the placement of in-stream structure material. 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. All reasonable steps
must be taken to limit the amount of disturbance in the channel and to therefore reduce downstream
turbidity during construction. This exemption does not relieve the Permittee of meeting stream
standards as indicated in 15A NCAC 02B.
3. The stream is a Class WS-III; Trout Waters. In order to protect downstream uses for Class C;
Trout Waters a requirement of this Certification is that any work conducted within the stream

Dear Mr. Hallock,
This letter is a follow up to your July 25,2014 correspondence in which you outline plans to
replace the current wastewater treatment system with a modern system. 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

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.

Ms. Juanita James with James and James Environmental assisted in the inspection of this facility.
The comminutor is no longer functional and due to the fact that access to the bar screen is inhibited,
the ORC cannot easily rake the bar screen free of debris. The bar screen debris is not removed at all.
It is noted that access to the bar screen be made available for maintenance or the comminutor
repaired and replaced.
A fecal coliform sample was taken at the beach/swimming area of Lake Powatan and the results were
as follows:
34 cfu/100ml.
The flow meter was last calibrated on 09-13-2013 and is due for calibration on 09-13-2014.

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

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.
