Case No. LV-2008-0262
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Cilone:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$165.00
($100.00 civil penalty+ $65.00 enforcement costs) against Fair Haven Home.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (I)MR-) submitted by Fair Haven Home for the month of April 2008. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0079448. The violations which occurred in
April 2008 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Fair Haven Home violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO079448 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215,1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Roger C. Edwards, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

$165.00 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; andJ
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

.pare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
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

evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark),will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Sawmills
Wastewater Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00318
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Frye:
Enclosed you will find the report resulting from the Collection System Compliance
Evaluation Inspection which I conducted on August 1, 2008. The Town of Sawmills is
doing a good job of operating and maintaining its wastewater collection system. Files
were in good order and the Town now has an excellent collection system map. Please
tell everyone involved that I appreciate their effort.
The Town of Sawmills now has a smoke machine and trailer mounted jetter to be
used in the operation and maintenance of the system. 1 recommend that the Town
Council budget for the purchase of a closed circuit television camera to be used for the
same purpose. A closed circuit television camera will quickly pay for it self by preventing
unnecessary digging up of sewers.
also recommend that the Council take a look at the Town's sewer rates to see if
adjustment is warranted in the light of inflation and changed expectations. Should you
have need to discuss this inspection report please do not hesitate to call me at (828) 296-
4659.
Sincerely,
Roy M. avis

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-
2 82.1(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;

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State.of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

,are a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
emitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties,Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);

violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);

\i

,ubmit payment of the penalty:
. ayment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;or
(5) whether payment of the'civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should

Dear Ms Cook:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$1,070.00 ($1,000.00 civil penalty+ $70.00 enforcement costs) against Town of Elk Park.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Town of Elk Park for the month of May 2008. This review
has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring
requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0079561. The violations which occurred in May 2008
are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Town of Elk Park violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO079561 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

$70.00 Enforcement Costs
$1,070.00 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty __
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

.ire a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
:miffed, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 1438-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland,fills for this project(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and(7). For this approval to be valid, you must,follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be
located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road
construction activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible following ground
disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils
in steep slope and.riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of
native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity
causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-1, WS-11), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
8. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
9. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
10. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.

r, P.E.
2008
nree
15. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
16. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
18. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
19. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
20. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
21. Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh,North Carolina 27604,
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

146 Rock Hill Road
City of Asheville
Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Duermit:
As you are aware, the service line serving your rental house at 146 Rock Hill Road is
not capable of carrying sewage and was overflowing sewage onto property at 156 Rock
Hill Road. The overflowing of sewage onto the surface of the ground is a violation of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a). It is our view that this violation has been
corrected by the vacating of the house at 146 Rock Hill Road.
Placing anyone back in the house without first providing an adequate sewer service and
therefore causing further overflows of sewage onto the surface of the ground would be
an intentional violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a). Intentional
violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 is a Class I felony.
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 provides for civil penalties of up to $25,000
for discharging sewage without a permit. The same statute empowers a State agency
to go into Superior court seeking a court order prohibiting an activity which is in violation
of the Statutes.

SUBJECT: Technical Assistance Inspection

Dear Mr. Wheeler:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Technical Assistance Inspection form from the
inspection conducted on August 12, 2008. Don Price and Jeff Menzel of the Asheville
Regional Office conducted the Technical Assistance Inspection. The facility was found to
be Non-Compliant with permit NC0025381.
The non-compliance determination is based on observations and overall
appearance of the WWTP at the time of the Technical Assistance. It appears several
items at the WWTP, the Flash mix and Flocculation chamber were out of service and not
functioning, and appeared to have been out of service for some time. This observation
has been made previously in inspections and needs to be corrected.
Other observations made during the Technical Assistance indicate the facility is
not conducting adequate process control to determine the optimum coagulant dosage to
the system. There are some competing reactions, varying levels of alkalinity and other
factors at the WWTP, that typically make calculation of proper chemical dosages difficult.
Therefore it was suggested the facility staff begin a 2/week Process Control program,
which includes acquiring and using a Jar Testing unit to determine the optimum chemical
dosage. Overdosing can diminish the effectiveness of treatment.
You will find attached to this report a copy of EPA Fact Sheet on "Chemical
Precipitation", which should be beneficial to your staff at the WWTP. Also attached is a
"sample" Process Control Log for your review and comment.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This Technical Assistance (TA) was conducted as a follow-up to the TA conducted in October 2007. At that
TA information was given to ORC, William Grimes, regarding conducting "Jar Test"to determine optimum
dosage for feeding coagulants to the process. Lake Lure has been modified to be operated as a
"Physical/Chemical"WWTP rather than a conventional Activated Sludge WWTP.Lake Lure staff has not
used the "Jar Test" procedure and prefers to use the data obtained from Influent and Effluent monitoring
(i.e. BOD, TSS, Ammonia)and removal efficiencies. This method of process control does not allow for
"Optimum" chemical dosage or solids accumulation.Chlorine is added at the influent to"disinfect"the flow.
The process operates by Influent entering the WWT system via a Lift Station at the foot of the Dam. From
the entry point of the flow it travels through a " Bar Screen", "Flash Mix", and "Flocculation Chamber", then
to a "Sedimentation Basin", and "Final Clarifier", "Chlorine Contact Chamber", and finally discharge to the
Broad River. At the time of the TA the Flash Mix, Flocculation Chamber, and Sedimentation Basin were out
of service. Lake Lure staff stated the Flash mix and Floc chamber were operational, but it appeared they
have not been used in quite some time.
The Sedimentation Basin was down and being by-passed so work could be done to dis-assemble the
sludge removal equipment.Comments by Lake Lure staff indicated the sludge removal system did not
operate from its initial installation in 2007. The "New" sludge removal system to be installed will use the
existing "Return/Waste" pumps and a new piping/collection system to be located in the bottom of the
Sedimentation Basin: The inlet end of the Sedimentation Basin will need some modification in the form of a
baffle, in order to allow and improve flocculation and sedimentation. It will also help prevent"short-circuiting"
through the basin. The effluent piping system needs to be "straightened" to allow a consistent discharge
from the WWTP. At the present time flow is backed up into the chlorine contact chamber and secondary
clarifier. This correction has been mentioned previously by ARO staff and CGAL's staff.
I am enclosing a EPA Wastewater Technology Fact Sheet on "Chemical Precipitation"for use and review by
Lake Lure WWTP staff. It should provide some ideas to WWTP staff to "improve" and "optimize"the
operation and get the WWTP into compliance. I am also suggesting to Lake Lure WWTP staff to try a small
amount of"Potassium Permanganate"(KMn04) in conjunction with the coagulant to see if improved settling
can be accomplished. The KMn04 should aid in organic removal (i.e. BOD) and improve settling. Jar test
should be conducted to determine the "optimum" dosage.

Comment: It has been discussed in previous facility inspections and Technical

operation. This is a greater concern, because the WWTP operates as a
"Physical/Chemical"facility and there is no indication as to how much solids are
produced.

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Springman:
On June 26, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application in
regards to culverting a segment of stream to facilitate the installation of a soccer field at
the Highlands School. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete.
Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will place this
project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, or until the below
stated deadline has passed. If the requested information is not received by the deadline
below, the package will be returned. Please provide the following information so that we
may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. In Application Item Vill., it is stated that the proposed mitigation will be through the
donation of a degraded stream along with adjacent land such that it shall someday be
restored. As the Division requires that the mitigation occur prior to, or concurrent with,
the impacts as to minimize temporal ecological losses associated with the project, this
mitigation is inappropriate. You must provide an adequate mitigation package for the
proposed activity, which will provide an ecological uplift within the drainage basin where
the impacts will occur. Should you not be able to secure an appropriate mitigation plan,
you may choose to withdraw your application until such a time that you can provide an
acceptable mitigation package for the proposed impacts.

Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
3. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, that shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new culvert and old bridge, shall not be
modified. Disturbed floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
9. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
10. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
11. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
12. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
13. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
14. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
15. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
16. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
17. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
18. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.

19. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
20. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not
being met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law is being violated,
or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
21. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
22. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
23. Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal
and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of
-the Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the
,04 or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh,N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification,you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the
Certification. Unless such demands are made,this Certification shall be final and binding.

Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Mitchell County
Dear Messrs. Vance and Pitman:
On July 24, 2008, Starr Silvis from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) conducted a site inspection at the Altapass Dam in Mitchell County. Mr. Bill Beck with
the Asheville Regional Office of the Land Quality Section and Mr. Robert Shane Vance were on
site at the time of the inspection.
Stream standards violations were noted during the inspection. Sediment impacts to Rose Creek,
classified as C Trout, were documented constituting stream standard violations. Approximately
1,000 feet of Rose Creek was impacted with between 6 and 20 inches of sediment. The riser pipe
of the lake area was removed or displaced causing the water contained behind the dam to be
released. Subsequently, the unstable sediments located on the bed of the lake have been washing
downstream for an undetermined amount of time.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below, were
noted:
Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(3)f-Greater than 1,000 feet of Rose Creek(C, Tr) was impacted by sediment deposition
from 6 to 20 inches deep throughout the stream reach, representing Water Quality Stream

conducted on June 24, 2008. It was my determination that the Town of Rhodhiss is
taking the necessary steps to insure more effective treatment at its facility, therefore, the
Town's wastewater treatment was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0025917.
Discrepancies were observed which have been noted on previous inspection reports. The
flow measurement device needs to be calibrated at least annually. The sand filters need
to function in the manner for which they were intended. Currently within the sand beds
there is severe ponding, algae growth, and misaligned pipes within the system.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at. 828-296-4658
Sincerely,
Jeff Menzel

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This facility is currently upgrading its treatment capabilities.
As stated in previous inspection reports there is constant ponding in the sand beds and the filter pipes are
not functioning in the manner for which they were intended.
The flow measurement system needs to be calibrated at least once a year and documentation of this event
needs to be kept on site.
The facility also needs to be enclosed to restrict public entry.
The effluent was clear.
This facility has requested that Mr. Don Price of DWQ offer his technical assistance to help insure
compliance with its NPDES permit.
The Asheville Regional Office currently has on staff a Wastewater Treatment Consultant to offer technical
assistance to Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and Collection Systems (CS) with operational
concerns. This service is free and non-regulatory to assist in the identification and correction of operational
problems. The service can be utilized for optimization of the operation of WWTP and/or Collection Systems.
Should you have questions about this service, please contact Don Price at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mr. Vinson:
Twenty-four hour notification of sediment loss was reported to Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
on July 10, 2008. I performed a site inspection on July 24, 2008 and required restoration of the
impacted stream channel. Present during this inspection were Bill Lapsley with Lapsley and
Associates and Bill Newman with Taylor and Murphy.
Clear Water Environmental Consultants provided a response for this restoration effort to the
Division of Water Quality on July 23, 2008 recommending a hand labor technique for sediment
removal. During my inspection on July 24, 2008 it was determined that because of the substrate
and impacts hand labor alone would be ineffective in restoring the stream channel. Bill Newman
stated that Taylor and Murphy could successfully perform a re-suspension or spray and wash
technique for remediation. Clear Water Environmental Consultants provided DWQ a modified
remediation plan on August 18, 2008,
The Sediment Removal Plan provided by Clear Water Environmental Consultants is approved.
Activities involved in this approved plan,as well as submittal of the final report, are to be
completed within thirty (30) days of this approval letter. Bill Newman stated on the phone August
19, 2008 the estimated schedule to initiate this process is the week of August 25th.

Dear Mr. Schmitt:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection
conducted on August 14, 2008. The facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0061930. There
are, however, several items which need attention:
y
• Work needs to be done on the return pipes in the clarifier.
• Clarifier needs to be pumped.
State electrical code requires that the outdoor power outlets be GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter). There are three outlets on site which need replacement for the safety
of the operator.
The shed roof is in dire need of replacement. (The shed contains the composite sampler, records,
chemicals and UV disinfection.)
Large holes in the bottom walls of the shed are in need of immediate repair to prevent
wildlife access into the shed for the safety of the operator.
Trimming of the tree limbs above the facility would help reduce leaves/twigs from entering the
plant and possibly clogging the lines.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. Mr.
Teague is doing a fine job of operating your facility. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me
at 828-296-4500 ext.4667.

Subject: Collection System Inspection
Permit Number WQCS00307
Town of Canton
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Matthews:
Attached is the report resulting from the wastewater collection system inspection that
conducted at the Town of Canton on August 19, 2008. 1 found the Town's collection
system to be well operated and maintained.
Current paper maps, while good, do not fully meet collection system permit requirements.
Items missing from the current maps are pipe material, pipe age, and pump station
capacities. When the opportunity presents, I encourage the Town to go in the direction of
GPS based mapping.
Electrical "quick connects" have been provided at some of the Town's sewage pumping
- stations. Where the Town has not installed "quick connects" and you feel that you may
want to drive the station with a generator during a power outage, I encourage you to install
"quick connects".
Our records do not indicate that the Town has designated the current Collection System
ORC and Backup ORC. Please complete the enclosed ORC Designation form and submit
same to the address indicated on the form.
Please convey my appreciation to everyone involved in taking care of the Town's collection
system. Do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659 should you have need to discuss
matters relating to wastewater collection.
Sincerely,

Collection System Infiltration & Inflow
Permit Number WQC300143
Yancey County
Dear Mr. McIntosh:
On August 1, 2008 1 had lunch in Burnsville. While eating lunch the Town experienced a
hard rainfall lasting possible half an hour. Arriving at the Burnsville wastewater treatment plant a
short while later we observed a dramatic increase in the volume of wastewater entering the plant.
The plant, which has a design capacity of 0.8 million gallons per day, was receiving wastewater
at a rate of 1.6 million gallons per day. The Town's wastewater collection system is obviously
subject to significant stormwater inflow.
On August 14, 2008 we found very high fecal coliform counts in samples drawn from Pine
Swamp Branch. This prompted me to pull out the 2003 Infiltration & Inflow study done for the
Town of Burnsville by McGill Associates. The study found the Burnsville collection system to be
in a terrible condition: The problems ranged from easy to correct ones such as residential
downspouts tied to the sanitary sewer to sewers needing replacement.
Please inform us in writing which of the problems described in the 2003 report have been
corrected. Please describe the Town's efforts to budget or secure funding for the eight capital
projects described in the report. Removal of building downspouts from the sanitary system,
elimination of cross connections with the storm drain system, and elimination of openings of the
sanitary system to the ground surface are all within the capability of Town forces to correct.
would hope to hear from you within thirty days from date of receipt of this letter.

Comment: Plant maintenance is marginal as the operations are due to be shut down
soon. The WWTP should not be neglected by management, i.e., rusting steps, railing
and grates around the facility should be properly maintained. There was a leaking sand
room recycle pump, (near the 55 clarifier)which should be repaired as the leak was
going down the bank toward the river. Also noted was a leak on the influent flume from
plant one. This leak had entered the river and had caused a small area of solids
build-up in the river. This leak needs to be repaired immediately and the solids removed
from the river as was discussed during the inspection. Also of concern is the continual
issues with the pump for plant 1. Apparently the pump motor is a constant speed motor
and should be replaced with a variable speed to better facilitate lower discharge rates
from Plant 1.

Dear Messrs. Bullman, Mack and McCord:
On August 19, 2008, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection along an unnamed tributary to Edwards Creek below
the McCord Dam in Macon County.
Sediment impacts to the unnamed tributary of Edwards Creek, classified as Trout/Outstanding
Resource waters, were documented during the site visit, constituting stream standards violations.
Approximately 200 feet of stream have sediment deposits ranging from 6— 17 inches as a result of
the dam failure and pond drainage.

REQUIRED RESPONSE
This Office requests that you respond in writing within 15 days of receipt of this Notice. Your
response should be sent to both to the attention of Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality,
2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC 28778 and to the attention of Mr. John Hennessy at the
Wetlands and Stormwater Branch,NPS Assistance and Compliance Oversight Unit, 1617 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. Your response should address the following items:
I. Stream Standard -Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
a. Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan to this office for review and approval. The
Plan must address removal of the accumulated sediment from the unnamed tributary
to Edwards Creek. The Division of Water Quality must approve the Plan prior to
implementation. You are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant
experienced in stream restoration to assist you with your plan development and
authorization necessary to achieve compliance. It is recommended that your
consultant contact Chuck Cranford of the Asheville Regional Office for additional
guidance during Plan development. The Plan should include the following:
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed and how impacted
jurisdictional waters will be restored.
• A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.
• A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts.
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be retained on the site and kept out of
waterways, and how restoration activities will be conducted such that turbidity
standards are not exceeded.
b. Once the Plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Chuck Cranford.
Please note:
The current sediment deposition related to the dam failure and subsequent drainage was _
intermittent and limited to the stream reach above the confluence of Edwards Creek.
However, without rapid stabilization of the pond bottom and/or sufficient erosion control
measures, more deleterious loss of silt and sediment is likely, which could lead to
additional, more complicated and costly restoration efforts.

.,ank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a recommendation
for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Quality regarding these issues and any
future/continued violations that may be encountered. Your above-mentioned response to this
correspondence will be considered in this process. This office requires that the violations, as
detailed above, be abated immediately. These violations and any future violations are
subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Should
you have any questions regarding these matters,please contact Chuck Cranford or myself at(828)

Subject: Unnamed Tributary to Hominy Creek
Haywood County
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wester:
It has come to the attention of this Office that you have placed a structure in an unnamed
tributary to Hominy Creek for the purpose of withdrawing water. This process is drying up
the unnamed tributary downstream of the withdrawal activity. The drought conditions are
stressing water resources all across western North Carolina.
The drying up of the Unnamed Tributary can constitute a Removal of Best Useage under
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2). No more than half of the
streams flow should be removed at any time.
Additionally, any fill (earthen fill, culverts, etc) can constitute a Removal of Best Useage
under Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2). The intake structure
may be considered a fill.
Placing temporary or permanent fill in a stream requires a Clean Water Act (Section 404)
permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers and a Clean Water Act (Section 401) Water
Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality. The US Army Corps of Engineers
can be reached at 828-271-7980.

Subject: Oak Street Pump Station Force.Main

Permit Number WQ0032292
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Hogg:
I was requested to look at the point of termination of the new Oak Street Wastewater
Pumping Station force main. The new force main was originally intended to tie back into
the existing 14-inch diameter ductile iron force main just north of the old Southern Railway
tracks using a fitting. It was subsequently determined that the old force main did not have
sufficient structural integrity remaining to withstand the stresses associated with making
the proposed mechanical connection. It is now proposed to set a new manhole and tie the
new force main into the old force main at that manhole. Making the connection at a man
hole may have the additional benefits of reducing hydraulic pressure on the deteriorated
portion of the ductile iron force main and offering the opportunity to ventilate the line
thereby possibly reducing the rate of hydrogen sulfide erosion. I concur with that proposal.
The setting of a manhole will turn the last 3,000 feet of the old force main into a gravity
line. I therefore recommend that the Town of Spindale set additional manholes along the
remainder of the line to allow access for cleaning or responding to blockages. The spacing
of those additional manholes should be determined by the capability of the equipment
owned by the Town to clean sewers.
Sincerely;

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the

which occurred in November 2007 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Coastal Ventures Group II LLC

$770.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance / Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors

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

Reference: NOV-2008-PC-0527
Buncombe County
Dear Sirs:
A Notice of Violation (NOV), referenced above, was issued on July 22, 2008 for North Ridge
Commons along HWY 25/70 and I-26 in Buncombe County. Clear Water Environmental
Consultants provided a Response/Restoration Plan for this NOV to the Division of Water Quality
on August 18, 2008. The NOV requested sediment removal and stream restoration,specifically
Required Response Ila. The response and sediment removal plan submitted is incomplete and
needs clarification regarding Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#2 as listed in Figure 3 of
response. Please supply more information prior to work on Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#2.
Listed in Figure 3 of response submittal are both Tributaries numbered for identification.
Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#1 is the Northern tributary. This tributary (#1) is the channel
needing sediment removal, channel and streambank restoration, along with riprap and relic culvert
removal. Please note response on page 2 of 7 Item 1. states "DWQ instructed CEC to submit plans
for Stream #2", which is incorrect.
Properly stated on Page 6 of 7, II.a. the Restoration Plan for Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#1
is approved. A monitoring plan for success on the restored stream channel needs to be developed
and implemented. Activities involved in this approved plan, as well as submittal of the final
report, including monitoring plan, are to be completed within thirty (30) days of this approval
letter.
More information is requested for Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#2,the Southern tributary
listed in Figure 3. Page 4 of 7 Stream Standard Violation II. refers to 350 feet of impacts to
Unnamed Tributaries to Gill Branch. The 350 feet was discussed on the phone with Consultant No"rthCarolina

Unnamed Tributary to Gill Branch#1.
Finally, on Page 5 of 7 Required Response I.b.and c. heavy rainfall is mentioned with regard to
failed erosion control measures. Please understand that a 2.5 inch rainfall event within 24 hours
does not constitute a 10 or a 25 year storm event. North Ridge Commons Erosion Control Plan is
designed for a 25 year storm event. Any violations during event less than this are enforceable.

Junaluska Sanitary District
Permit Application WQCS00182( Draft)
Wastewater Collection System
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Cunningham:
Attached is the report resulting from my August 26, 2008 inspection of the wastewater
collection system operation and maintenance program being conducted by the Junaluska
Sanitary District. I found the system to be well operated and maintained. My comments,
which follow, relate primarily to documentation and record keeping.
As soon at the District's Collection System Permit is issued and the system classified, the
District will be required to designate a Collection System Operator in Responsible Charge
and a Backup Operator in Responsible Charge. The form necessary for that purpose is
attached.
I was informed that the District has acquired a good GPS unit. The District need to locate
all system manholes and allow Haywood County to accurately show those manholes on
the District's collection system map. Ted Underwood's imminent retirement makes this
even more important. Ted will carry a wealth of knowledge away with him which, in many
cases, can best be captured on a modern map. The District's Collection System permit
will require that the District have a system map which shows pipe size, material, flow
direction, pipe age, taps, and pump stations and their capacities.
The District's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) needs modification by the addition of a
description of the service area, description of the existing collection system,known
deficiencies, and forecasted future needs.
The District is not submitting annual reports in accordance with the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 C.
The Richland Creek pump station needs to be inspected daily until such time that it is
equipped with telemetry. one

The District's Spill Response Action Plan needs to be updated. The City of Brevard's Spill-,,

Removal of Best Usage (culverts)
Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
Madison County
Dear Mr. Robinson:
On August 22, 2008, Kevin Barnett and Linda Wiggs from the Asheville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality conducted site inspections for the tract/project known as
Roger Robinson Commercial Fill Site in Madison County,NC.
During the inspection DWQ staff collected measurements took photographs and made
visual observations of sedimentation and earthen fill impacts to an unnamed tributary to
the Big Branch, located along the subject tract. The site drains to Big Branch, a Class
Water Supply—I1, High Quality Water stream, located in the French Broad River Basin.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below,
were noted:
(1) Removal of Best Usage (culverts)
(2) Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
Item I. Removal of Best Usage (culverts)
The culverting of approximately 840 linear feet of an un-named tributary to Big Branch
(WS-II, HQW) represents violations of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2). 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.

Dear Mr. Barth:
Enclosed please find the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report resulting from
my August 27, 2008 inspection of operational and maintenance activities relating to the
Town of Maggie Valley's sewage collection system. The Town is doing a fine job of
taking care of its collection system.
The Town has a good system map. Mike Mehaffey is to the point of turning a hand
corrected copy of the collection system map over to McGill & Associates. The next logical
step is the purchase of a good GPS unit to more accurately establish manhole locations.
encourage the purchase of such a unit. The Town would find it useful for other purposes
such as location of water system components and municipal boundaries.
I appreciate the job Mr. Mike Mehaffey and Mr. Mike Corbin are doing in taking
care of the Town wastewater collection system. If you need to discuss matters relating to
wastewater collection, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659.
Sincerely,

Subject: Unnamed Tributary to Richlands Creek
Haywood County
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Queen:
It has come to the attention of this Office that you have placed a structure in an unnamed
tributary to Richlands Creek for the purpose of withdrawing water and / or impounding
water. This process is drying up the unnamed tributary downstream of these activities.
The drought conditions are stressing water resources all across western North Carolina.
The drying up of the Unnamed Tributary can constitute a Removal of Best Useage under
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2). No more than half of the
streams flow should be removed at any time.
Additionally, any fill (earthen fill, culverts, etc) can constitute a Removal of Best Useage
under Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2B .0211 (2). The intake structure
may be considered a fill.
Placing temporary or permanent fill in a stream requires a Clean Water Act (Section 404)
permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers and a Clean Water Act (Section 401) Water
Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality. The US Army Corps of Engineers
can be reached at 828-271-7980.
