The Altec permit requires a total of 7 COD samples be obtained for each period; 6 by the industry per period and 1 by the POTW per period. If 7 samples were not obtained for each period, then there should be monitoring frequency violations. The PAR PPS#6 should indicate 1 and#7 should indicate 0. As noted during the inspection,a NOD was sent to Altec in December 2014 for an October Zinc violation;therefore#12 on the PPS should indicate 1. PCL Altec File Review: #31. The most current permit was not in the file. #34. The pretreatment coordinator stated he had this at his office and is currently working on it. #36.A slug/spill plan is needed.Altecs permit(Part III#1) indicates a Slug/Spill Control Plan should have been submitted to Burnsville by September 30, 2010.

The POTW COCs are at the pretreatment coordinator's office/lab. #43a The POTW identified a Zinc limits violation of 1.97 mg/I from the SIU sampling in October 2014.A NOD was sent to Altec. The POTW has improved record keeping but still had some records missing from the file review as noted above. J, Headworks(HWA)Short Term Monitoring Plan: Two items noted: Sampling must be performed quarterly as opposed to 4 consecutive days and Mercury at the effluent has to include low level Mercury(EPA method 1631-E)sampling. The pretreatment coordinator began the HWA in July, 2015, and will continue the proper sampling according to the Plan by May-2016. If an extension to the May 1, 2016, due date is needed, the pretreatment coordinator will need to contact DWR.

C Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) The inspection was in response to a bypass that occurred at the digester due to the pulley lock pin releasing and allowing the decant arm to lower. The digesters are the original WWTP components converted. When the new WWi'P was built, the supernatant from the digesters was not routed back to the head of the new plant. The digesters discharge to the drying beds and then the liquid flows from these beds to a pump station to be delivered back to the digester. When the decant arm fell,the digester discharged to the drying beds but overwhelmed them. Most of the bypass was captured in the beds/pump station or absorbed into the ground adjacent to the beds. The bypass flows that did reach the Toe River flowed via overland flow and through a stormwater drain (near the pump station)to an old polishing pond then into the Toe River. The polishing pond and its tributary to the Toe River were also observed during this inspection; no adverse impacts from the bypass were noted. Personnel said the old WWTP discharged through this small polishing pond. The drying beds will need to be cleaned.An accumulation of solids was present in the drying beds limiting their capacity. The facility will be required to report back to regional office staff on the timeline, the method of cleaning the beds and where the solids were disposed.

Self-Monitoring/Flow Measurement: There is a new sampler and flow meter along with a new building. The Annual Pollutant Scan has to include low level Mercury(Hg)sampling. 0&M: The 0.3 MGD basin is an old metal basin and is showing signs of corrosion. The weir on basin .5 MGD is leaking. The aging 0.3 MGD basin showing signs of corrosion is something that needs to be evaluated now and planned for future expenditures. What is the contingency plan if this basin needs repairs or replacement? Effluent: The final basin will have to be evaluated regularly to track solids buildup. When solids begin to build up in this basin it is essential to remove them. There is not a.path to the effluent pipe.

The variance request is for the construction of one(1) geothermal aqueous closed-loop well to be constructed at 160 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. This variance shall be subject to the following specified conditions as follows: 1. Due to the proposed proximity of the injection well to the foundation of the house,no pesticides or other chemical treatments shall be applied to the foundation of the house without prior consent from the DWR. 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.

On June 16,2015 and June 17, 2015,DWR staff conducted further investigations on the Durhamtown Tellico property in Graham and Cherokee Counties. Representatives with the North Carolina Forest Service were present for the inspections held on June 16 & 17,2015. During the site visits, DWR noted stream impacts from sedimentation and turbidity to Little Snowbird Creek, classified C; Trout waters. DWR also observed sedimentation impacts to Tom Taylor Branch, classified C waters,Hornet Nest Branch, classified C waters, and an un-named tributary to Hanging Dog Creek,classified C waters. On June.10, 2015, Little Snowbird Creek exhibited turbidity levels that exceeded stream standards. The stream standard for turbidity in, Little Snowbird Creek is 10 NTUs. DWR also noted several areas of stream impacts from on- going land disturbing activities.

Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste(In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (12)—an undetermined length of Tom Taylor Branch, Little Snowbird Creek, Hornet Nest Branch, and an un-named tributary to Hanging Dog Creek were impacted by sediment deposition measuring 3 to 15 '/2 inches in depth throughout the observed stream reaches, representing Water Quality Stream Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (12). II. Stream Standard Violation - Turbidity 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (21)— On June 10,2015, DWR obtained water samples from Little Snowbird Creek to analyze for turbidity. The sample results were as follows: Sample#1 2.1 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Upstream of the confluence with Tom Ta 1or Branch Sample#2 2.8 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Upstream of the confluence with Tom Taylor Branch Sample#3 31 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Downstream of the confluence Sample#4 9.6 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Downstream of the confluence Sample#5 7.9 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Downstream of the confluence Sample#6 13 NTUs Little Snowbird Creek Downstream of the confluence III. Conditions of Best Usage- 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2)—The stream impacts from un- authorized culvert installation, fill, and in-stream waste(sediment) discharges are a violation of Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0211 (2)which requires 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." IV. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) During the site visits, culvert placement was observed at various stream crossings. A review of records confirmed that neither the DWR nor the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE)has received an application for a 404 Permit or 401 WQC,prior to the impacts noted. Such an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Part 15A of North Carolina Administrative.Code 2H .0500.

The inspection was conducted in response to an anonymous complaint alleging that someone was grading in a creek on the subject property. Nobody was present during the inspection. During the site inspection, a recently constructed small impoundment,pipe, and manhole structure were observed on Grassy Branch(Classified C waters). As a result of the site inspection and file review,the following violations were identified: VIOLATIONS I. Removal of Best Usage— 15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2) A concrete impoundment and pipe were installed on Grassy Branch(Class C)resulting in a barrier to aquatic passage.

Box 368 Marion,North Carolina 28752 Subject: Notice of Violation NOV=2015-DV-0168 Sevier Plant/Coats American WWTP NPDES Permit No.NC0004243 McDowell County,NC Dear Mr. Moss, On August 20, 2015, I was at the Sevier Plant observing the installation of two groundwater monitoring wells associated with the coal ash basin. I took the opportunity to inspect the areas recently cleared by the landscaping crew. I wanted to bring to your attention some observations I made in the area referred to as the sludge drying beds (see attached map). I observed a process wastewater line and manhole that appear to tie-in with the larger 26 inch wastewater line (see attached photos).The manhole cover was open and I observed a red-colored wastewater entering the shallow cement vault from a 12-inch PVC pipe,which exited the vault through a smaller 8-inch line.There appeared to be rags caught at the mouth of the 8-inch pipe. Next to the process wastewater line is a much larger cement vault that may have served as a septic tank at one time. I also walked through what appeared to be the footprint of the former sludge drying beds. I dug down with the heel of my boot and observed dark-colored soils consistent with wastewater biosolids. It is important to note that these sludge drying beds are located adjacent to the beaver dam area where high pH water and dark-colored muds (see attached photo) were observed on July 2, 2015. The Division is requesting further assessment of the area referred to as the sludge drying beds. Site assessment activities should answer the following questions: • Where is the process wastewater in the manhole coming from?What is the typical pH range of the process wastewater? How is debris (i.e.rags) entering the wastewater piping system? Is there any evidence of recent overflows at this particular manhole? How would plant staff be aware that an overflow event is North Carolina Division of water Resources—Asheville Regional office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)2964500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: http://portal.ncdenr.org/weblwgl An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer John J.Moss' August 24,2015 Page 2 of 2 taking place?Has this manhole ever overflowed in the past?Is there any evidence that the process wastewater line is leaking, particularly near the junction with the 26-inch wastewater line? • Has the septic tank vault been assessed?Is there any sludge or liquids remaining in the vault?Are there any active connections between the plant and the vault?Was there a drain field associated with this septic tank vault? • What is the extent of the sludge drying beds?Are there any biosolids remaining in the drying beds? If so,what is the volume of the biosolids?Is there.any evidence that the sludge drying beds may have impacted the unnamed tributary,particularly near the beaver dam? The manhole and associated wastewater piping, septic tank,and sludge drying beds appear to have been recently uncovered and were discussed during previous assessments of the area.These should be considered in the ongoing investigation of the fish kill event on the North Fork River and any forthcoming reports from Coats American and its consultant, ERM.

It is suspected that Ms. Lauder's water supply well was impacted by a nearby residential well that was recently hydrofracked to increase water yield. It is thought that the high pressures associated with the hydrofracking process likely scoured bedrock fractures and transported or pushed naturally-occurring contaminates into Ms.Lauders well.An earlier Jackson County Health Department water sample may provide some indication that metals and sulfate concentrations are in decline.I will continue to monitor Ms.Lauder's well for the foreseeable future. The table below summarizes the analytical results.Iron,manganese,sulfate,and zinc exceed the state's groundwater standard(15A NCAC 02L.0202).

Polk,County. Reason Collected: Concerned citizen report of unusual water color ng t Y � 4 _ y - � v i p - •r"f - - 'ram - _ r n e _ Figure 1.Location of Shepherd Pond near Lake Adger m Polk County Sample Information: A sample of the discolored water was collected from Shepherd pond . (Figure 1)and sent to the Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section for identification. Physical parameters(Conductivity, Temperature,dissolved Oxygen(DO)and pH)of the pond were taken at the time the sample was collected. Results of Analysis: The discoloration(Figures 2 &3)was due'to the filamentous bluegreen Spherospermopsis aphanizominoides (Figure 4). The density of the bloom was 14,700 filaments/ml representing around 412,000 cells/ml. Algal densities of this magnitude in conjunction with slightly elevated pH(7.8 su), indicate a mild bloom occurring in the pond; Ecological Significance: Algae are important components of healthy aquatic environments. They can become problematic when growths becomes excessive,or"bloom".Algae blooms can occur in waters throughout the State especially in summer when environmental conditions are favorable to bluegreens. More information on bluegreen algae can be found in the DWR fact sheet provided along with this report. More information on the health effects of bluegreen can be found on the Division of Public Health's website at: http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/oee/a z/al ag e html Table 1.Physical parameters taken as the time the algae sample was collected.

Email: mark.vanderborghna ncdenr.gov Phone: (919) 743-8423 Agar, aft Algal group: Cyanophyta (cyanobacteria, blue-greens) Scientific Name: Some of the most common forms of blue-greens are Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria, Microcystis,Aphanocapsa, and Chroococcus. Blue-green algae bloom Description: There are hundreds of species of blue-green algae.They are usually microscopic, but high concentrations can sometimes be seen with the naked eye.They can be individual spherical cells, colonial,or filamentous. Many blue-green algae species have special adaptations that give them a competitive advantage over other types of algae.For example,Microcystis aeruginosa can control its exposure to sunlight and nutrients using floatation devices called gas vesicles,that allow it to move up and down in the water column.Other species in this group have structures known as heterocysts that allow them to transform nitrogen from the air into a biologically usable form.This gives f ( blue-greens a nutrient source unavailable to other types of algae. Blue-green algae bloom Habitat: Blue-green algae can be found in all aquatic habitats, including wet walls and ditches. Most are found floating freely in nutrient- rich ponds,lakes and slow moving rivers.Some filamentous blue-greens grow within sediment and form thick,dense mats that break apart and float to the water's surface. Significance: Blue-greens are notorious bloom formers.These blooms can cause unsightly water discoloration,surface films,flecks, mats, and taste and odor problems.Some are even known to pro- duce toxins.However,there have been no documented cases of Blue-green algae bloom decaying along shoreline health problems caused by blue-green algae in North Carolina. a _ _ �,:_� ��� J __ __ WDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory Donald R. van der Vaart Governor Secretary August 26, 2015 Mr. Bob Schwebke, Owner RCS Properties 4501 Tynecastle Highway Banner Elk, North Carolina 28604 Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOV-2015-LV-0645 Permit No. NCO062961 Tynecastle WWTP Avery County Dear Mr. Schwebke: A review of Tynecastle WWTP's monitoring report for May 2016 showed the following violation: Parameter Date Limit Value Reported Value Limit Type Coliform, Fecal MF, M-FC 05/19/2015 400.00#/100ml 700.00#/100ml Daily Maximum Broth,44.5C Exceeded Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem.

The inspection was conducted in response to an anonymous complaint alleging that someone was clearing trees and grading within the 50 foot protected buffer area adjacent to the Lake Hickory shoreline.Nobody was present during the inspection. During the site inspection, it was observed that tree clearing and grading did occur within the entire 50 foot protected buffer along the entire 150 feet of lot#24 shoreline for a total of 7500 square feet of buffer impact. As a result of the site inspection and file review,the following violations were identified: VIOLATIONS I. Catawba Buffer Rules Violation -Vegetation Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0243 (4) of the Catawba River Riparian Buffer Rules requires that Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer remain in vegetation that is undisturbed except for those uses provided for in Item(6) of this Rule.

The protected buffer extends 50-feet landward from the top of bank for the Catawba River main stem below Lake James and 50-feet landward from the most landward limit of the full pond level for the main stem lakes located on the Catawba River main stem. The protected riparian buffer has two zones: Zone 1 consists of a vegetated area that is undisturbed except for uses provided for in Item(6) of this Rule (Title 15A NCAC 02B .0243);Zone 2 shall consist of a stable,vegetated area that is undisturbed except for activities and uses provided for in Item-(6) of this Rule(Title 15A NCAC 02B:.0243). The purpose of these rules is to protect and preserve riparian buffers in the Catawba River Basin to maintain the pollutant removal functions of these streamside areas necessary to protect surface waters. II. Catawba Buffer Rules Violation—Diffuse Flow Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0243 (5) of the Catawba River Riparian Buffer Rules requires that"Diffuse flow of runoff shall be maintained in the riparian buffer by dispersing concentrated flow and reestablishing vegetation."

Each composite sample will consist of 5 aliquots representing inlets into the lagoons and areas of sludge accumulation. Due to the wet conditions within the lagoons, it has been proposed that the aliquots be collected with"a_small excavator provided by the landowner Howard Brown.The excavator will be decontaminated between samples with a 10%Alconox solution and onsite water.This sampling methodology is acceptable to the Division. According to Attachment B, the composite samples must be analyzed by a North Carolina Division of Water Resources certified laboratory for the following analytes and tests: • Bacteria -fecal coliform bacteria • Metals-arsenic, cadmium,calcium,chromium, copper, lead, magnesium, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, sodium, and zinc • Nutrients—TKN, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen, and phosphorus • pH • Volatile organic compounds • Semi-volatile organic compounds • Toxic Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) • Hazardous waste characteristics—ignitability, corrosivity, and reactivity The analytical results will be evaluated using the North Carolina Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch's Industrial and Protection of Groundwater Preliminary Soil Remediatiion Goals (PSRG). The results of the TCLP test will be evaluated using the regulatory levels table prepared by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources—Asheville Regional office 2090 U.S.Highway 70,Swannanoa,N.C. 28778 Phone(828)296-4500 FAX (828)299-7043 Internet: http://portal,ncdenr.org/webiwq/ An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Denese Ballew August 27,2015 Page 2 of 2 United States Environmental Protection Agency. Sludge removal and groundwater monitoring may be required if there any perceived impacts to surface water and/or groundwater resources. During our recent site visit a question was raised concerning the potential land application of the remaining composted solid waste. I recently spoke with Tony Gallagher who is the Composting and Land Application Branch Head for the North Carolina Solid Waste Section. His Section has a program that would allow a one-time application of the composted wastes if it has a nutrient benefit. If, for example, the composted waste is high in calcium then`approval might be granted for land application on a field that was deficient in calcium.
