Dear Mr. Setzer:
On August 1, 2012, I inspected the construction work for the new bridge over the West Fork Pigeon River on
NCSR 1112(Chambers Farm Road) in Haywood County. There was no construction activity at the time of
inspection. The end bents have been poured and I understand that the contractor is awaiting steel beams to be
delivered to the site before construction continues. Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be
maintained and working properly.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and mulching are
performed as needed to protect State surface waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached to this letter.
If you have questions,please call me at 828-296-4500.

SUBJECT: Buffer and Water Quality Certification Inspection
Kevin Moore, Lot 216-Paradise Harbor
Project No: 12-0369
Burke County
Dear Mr. Moore:
This letter is in follow-up to the inspection conducted on July 19, 2012. The site was found to be
non-compliant with the Catawba Buffer Rules. Impacts were noted to the riparian buffer on
Lake Rhodhiss which is subject to the Catawba River Buffer Rules. Impacts to the buffer
include removal of the vegetation. The area of disturbance where vegetation had been removed
was approximately 7,500 square feet in Zone 1 and approximately 5,000 square feet in Zone II.
The above is a violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (4) of the Catawba Buffer Rules which states
that: Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer remain in vegetation that is undisturbed except for
those uses provided for in Item (6). Ongoing stormwater management of your property is also
required according to 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (5) of the Catawba Buffer Rules.
The site is currently under construction. A Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000) is
issued upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan for sites greater than one
acre. This permit regulates stormwater management during the construction activities. To assist
you with compliance of your project, I have, emailed you and your contractor pertinent
information regarding the buffer rule and stormwater management.
Required Response
Please respond to this letter in writing within, 30`.calendai days of receipt of this letter. Your
response should be sent to the Division of Water Quality, attention Linda Wiggs, 2090 HWY 70
Swannanoa,NC 29778. Your response should include the following:
1. Riparian Zone planting — Please submit a Restoration Plan to this office for review and
approval. This plan should be developed to ensure that at least two native tree species are
planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees/acre at maturity. This density is
usually achieved by planting approximately 436 trees/acre on a 10 ft. x 10 ft. grid or 681
trees/acre on a 8 ft. x 8 ft. grid. Include in the plan the types of native woody vegetation
selected, methodology of planting, and a site map indicating the location of the replanting
efforts.

Catawba River Pollution Control WWTP
Burke County
Dear Mayor Cohen:
On December 1, 2010, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject
Special Order by Consent (SOC)whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent limitations for
BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform from those imposed by the NPDES Permit, in exchange for Morganton's
commitment to a schedule of wastewater treatment plant improvements that will return the WWTP to
compliance with the terms of the NPDES Permit. The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of
stipulated penalties when modified limits are exceeded or schedule dates are not met.
A review of Catawba River Pollution Control Facility WWTP's monitoring report for May 2012
showed the following violations:
Parameter Date Interim Limit Reported Limit Type
Value
BOD 05/31/2012 60 mg/I 107.91 mg/I Monthly Average
Exceeded
BOD Week ending 120 mg/I 120.8 mg/I Weekly Average

05/19/2012 Exceeded
You are directed to immediately take whatever remedial actions are necessary to correct the
problems that have led to this violation. Section III of the SOC stipulates that a penalty in the amount of
$1,000 be paid for noncompliance with any modified limit contained in the SOC. However, Section IV of the
SOC lists circumstances under which stipulated penalties are not due, essentially stating this provision is
applicable when the Division of Water Quality can be satisfied the non-compliance was caused by events
or circumstances beyond the control of the Catawba River Pollution Control WWTP.
If you have information that will prove to the Division that any or all of the criteria set forth in Section
IV have been met, you must submit this information in writing to the Asheville Regional Office within ten
(10) days after receipt of this notice. In the absence of evidence justifying the application of the provision
within Section IV, this Office will proceed with assessment of stipulated penalties as provided for in the
SOC.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell or me at

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: r
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 r_\
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

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 214 .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.
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 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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, ar..v%
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The channel relocation will be constructed in a dry work area and stabilized before stream flows are diverted into the
new channel. Stream banks shall be matted with coir-fiber matting. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be
limited to native riparian vegetation, and should include establishment of a vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. Also, rip-rap may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to
determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. Once the stream has been turned into the new channel, it may be
necessary to relocate stranded fish to the new channel to prevent fish kills.
5. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
6. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream,to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be ,\ '
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.

7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
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. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters duce to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
16. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where 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. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
19. 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.
20. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the

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

Inspection Summary:
Met with Randall Hamby,James Triplett and Mel Skinner. Mel walked the site with me and Crystal took notes to relay to
Jenny Anders in office.Appoximately 1"of rain had fallen that morning.
Sampling data has not been produced for inspector. It could not be found during inspection and a request via email on
8/2/12 has not received a response.
The site has comingled stormwater(SW)and wastewater(WW)and should have been performing quarterly sampling.
The facility will have to institute-monthly monitoring_for_paratmeters listed in Table 7.
pH readings were obtained during the inspection are as follows:
Truck washflow area pH=11.2 sm.
Bermed Pit pH=11.4 sm.
Grass pit/swale pH=10.6
pH will likely have to be reduced prior to discharge to meet benchmark. The facility needs to purchase a pH meter. pH
reading are to be obtained immediately; in-situ.
The bermed containment area is along side of the grass swale/pond area. On the day of the inspection the bermed
containment area appeared to be receiving most of the water from the site. Water was flowing through the berm towards
the grass area. It would be better if the berm was properly constructed with a rock weir to allow for a controlled release as
oppose to a funneling through the berm.
Because the area between the facilities treatment area and the receiving stream is overgrown, it was not determined if the
berm is also directly discharging to the stream. The facility will have to determine this. The berm should not be
discharging into the receiving stream.

Permit: NCG050376 Owner-Facility: Upm Raflatac Inc
Inspection Date: 08/07/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson (DWQ)met with Laura Cummings, James Horton and Alexa Dengos at the UPM Raflatac facility,400
Broadpointe Road. UPM Raflatac makes adhesive labels for customers worldwide. The facility maintains a stormwater
permit covered under sector General Permit NCG050000 (Paper and Paperboard Products). Domestic wastewater is tied
into MSD. Batch process wastewater is also tied into MSD.
Stormwater records were excellent and the facility appeared very well maintained. No potential adverse impacts to
stormwater were observed at the time of inspection.
UPM has 2 defined stormwater outfalls-001 (to McDowell Creek-incorporates much of the employee parking lot, trim
waste area, loading area); 002-discharges to a small scour pool then overland, essentially does not discharge to surface
waters(incorporates the area of industrial activity). While 002 could be observed, due to the vegetated growth around
McDowell Creek, the ultimate outfall for 001 could not be observed (however,the final drop inlet on UPM property was
observed). DWQ will come back during the winter months and evaluate outfall 001 (more in the interest of assessing
hydraulic impact from the discharge, rather than a water quality concern).
DWQ does suggest that UPM evaluate the scour pool at 002 periodically-additional rip rap may be needed at some point
(this will ensure that hydraulic loading to the adjacent landowner does not become an issue).
This facility at one time had a No Exposure permit(NCGNE0198)-which was rescinded and NCG050376 was
reactivated.

Permit: NCGO50399 Owner-Facility: Upm Raflatac Inc
Inspection Date: 08/07/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary: `
Susan Wilson (DWQ) inspected the UPM Raflatac-280 Cane Creek Road with Laura Cummings, James Horton, and
Alexa Dengos On August 7, 2012 (after inspecting the Broadpointe site).
UPM Raflatac makes special order labels at this facility(the property is leased by UPM). The facility is covered under
sector General Permit NCG050000 (Paper and Paperboard Products). Domestic wastewater and batch process
wastewater goes ultimately to MSD.
The facility appears well maintained and record keeping is excellent. Although this permit has just recently been issued-
they have already performed their qualitative monitoring and already have their SWPPP in place.
The existing property has been expanded and part of UPMs piping goes to new basins (which appear to be post
construction basins). DWQ has contacted Henderson County regarding those basins (they are not yet fully stabilized with
vegetation).
Both stormwater outfalls at the facility discharge to Pinner Creek(C-Trout).Outfall B discharges directly from drop inlets
(which incorporate part of the access road used by another industry, as well as some of the loading area used by UPM).
Outfall A incorporates part of the loading area and the back of the building-which goes to the post construction
stormwater pond and then to Pinner Creek.
No adverse impacts from stormwater were noted during the inspection.
UPM Raflatac used to be located at 267 Cane Creek Road and was covered by No Exposure permit NCGNE0547 (and
moved to this location-280 Cane Creek Road). This will be rescinded.

Permit: NCG160150 Owner-Facility: Rogers Group Inc
Inspection Date: 07/27/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson (DWQ)met Jon Parton (of the Rogers Group, Inc.)at the asphalt plant in Hendersonville on July 27,2012.
Recycled asphalt, sand, gravel are stored on-site for use, along with chemicals used for asphalt production. The plant
also will use a small percentage of recycled asphalt shingles(to be tested/crushed offsite). There was some citizen
concern re. the recycled asphalt shingles-DWQ does not expect adverse impacts to water quality due to stormwater from
the recycled asphalt shingles,with the small percentage and crushing performed off-site.
DWQ does have several recommendations for the site (some of which were stated previously):
1)The SWPPP should be reviewed and errors corrected.
2)The site plan/drainage should be improved,with outfalls clearly noted (and drainage throughout the site updated and
noted).
3) DWQ recommends better communication/employee training (DWQ did not see the annual training noted).
4)Secondary containment should be provided for the fuel tank.
5)The bermed areas should be stabilized (to prevent loss of sediment to the tributary to Mud Creek).
Because a rain event occurred during the time of inspection-it was noted that the outfall near the unnamed tributary
(south side)likely needs to be enlarged. It provided little to no detention for rainfall events. This should be re-evaluated.
No sand dipping is performed by the facility(a letter from the DWQ indicated this was done under prior ownership). No
sand dipping should be performed again without first contacting ARO/DWQ (Jon indicated that this was highly unlikely).

Comment: The SWPPP needs to be reviewed again there appear to be some errors
re. what is stored on site, tank sizing, etc. There also appear to be some incorrect
references within the plan.
The site plan and drainage areas should be updated, as it was somewhat unclear.
DWQ also suggests that the stormwater outfalls be designated (as Stormwater Disharge
Outfall 01, 02, etc. -SDO-01, SDO-02)-and this designation remain consistent.
Although the employee training program is documented - DWQ suggests the corporate
environmental coordinator visit the site at least annually and go over the plan, good
housekeeping, sample locations, etc. (it was unclear if the employee training had been
completed by necessary parties at the site).
Secondary containment should be provided around the fuel tank area (please submit a
schedule of compliance for this).

Dear Mr. Ware:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$387.00
($250.00 civil penalty+ $137.00 enforcement costs) against George W. Ware.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by George W. Ware for the month of April 2012. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0060224. The violations which occurred in
April 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that George W. Ware violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO060224 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, Chuck Cranford, Division of Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Asheville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

$250.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$387.00 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:
�J
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
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

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

$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$387.00 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 -1
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

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jami Guynn, Division 11 Bridge Manager
FROM: Michael R.Parker,NCDWQ,Asheville Regional Office PW
SUBJECT: Avery County Bridge Replacement
Scoping Review Comments
In reply to your request,the NCDWQ offers the following comments for the projects listed below:
Project Specific Comments
B-5380: Bridge No. 141 over Fall Branch,NCSR 1114,Avery County
1. Fall Branch is class WS-V waters which flows a short distance to Plumtree Creek which is class WS-
V;Trout. Due to the steep slopes and short distance to Plumtree Creek NCDWQ recommends that the
most protective sediment and erosion control BMP's be implemented to reduce the risk of turbidity
violations in trout waters. In addition, all disturbances within trout buffers shall be conducted in
accordance with the NC Division of Land Resources and NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
2. Should NC Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)identify these waters as naturally reproducing
trout waters,NCDOT will be required to observe the NCWRC recommended moratoria for trout. In
additions,NCDWQ will require that NCDOT strictly adhere to North Carolina regulations entitled
"Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" [15A NCAC 04B .0124] throughout design and
construction of the project.
3. Remove invasive Japanese Knott Weed.
B-5383: Bridge No. 143 over Linville River,NCSR 1536,Avery County
1. The Linville River is class B-trout waters. NCDWQ recommends that the most protective sediment
and erosion control BMP's be implemented to reduce the risk of turbidity violations in trout waters.
In addition, all disturbances within trout buffers shall be conducted in accordance with the NC
Division of Land Resources and NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
2. Should NC Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)identify these waters as naturally reproducing
trout waters,NCDOT will be required to observe the NCWRC recommended moratoria for trout. In
additions,NCDWQ will require that NCDOT strictly adhere to North Carolina regulations entitled
"Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" [15A NCAC 04B .0124]throughout design and
construction of the project.
3. There are several acres of wetlands located in three of the four quadrants adjacent to the bridge
adjacent to the Linville River. Impacts to this area should be avoided.

General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
1. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
2. If foundation test borings are necessary;it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Any Low Impact Bridge Projects must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to qualify for Low Impact;
otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required.Example(Regional General Permit No.
31,Nationwide Permit No.23,Nationwide Permit No. 13,etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports(bents) should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across
the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers,etc.)before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
6. 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.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft J
construction methods.More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without
prior written approval from NCDWQ first.
8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface
waters. This water shall be captured,treated, and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by
NCDWQ in this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,
temporary causeways,or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be
floated into position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position.Under
no circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water.
11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags,rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
12. If concrete is used during construction,a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.

13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
14. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid
wetland impacts,minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment,the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information,please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mayor Cohen:
The City of Morganton entered into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) WQ S10-005
with the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission whereby operation of the City
of Morganton Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been placed under interim effluent
limitations and an enforceable schedule while the existing WWTP is being upgraded.
Under section 3 of the Special Order by Consent, the City of Morganton was required to
comply with interim effluent limitations as set forth in the Consent Order. The WWTP failed to
comply with the interim effluent limitations for BOD, Fecal and Total Suspended Solids
contained in "Attachment A" of the Order for the month of May 2012.
After careful review of this matter, I have not found grounds for sufficient justification to
waive the stipulated penalty, therefore, and pursuant to section 3 of the Special Order by
Consent, a stipulated penalty in the amount of$1,000.00 is now due for each violation for a total
of$5,000.00.
Payment by certified check payable to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources must be submitted to the Department at the address given below within thirty (30)
days from receipt of this demand:

Dear Mr. Wright:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on August 14, 2012. The facility was found to be in Compliance
with permit NC0035386. It must be noted, however, of several issues that need attention.
Those are: excessive vegetation on one side of the sand filter and an unsecured well
vault. The concrete block needs to be replaced with an adequate locking mechanism.
The alarm needs to be tested and verified that it is in working order. These should be
addressed and completed by September 07, 2012. Please contact me when this has
been done.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4678

The plant appears to be well maintained, however, due to the age of the facility, there are areas of rust and
deterioration that should be addressed.
Phillip Murphy, the plant ORC, stated: since in installation of the facility, another dam was constructed down

Mr. J. B. Setzer,P.E.
August 23, 2012

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 8, 2012 (received August 15, 2012),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3886, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local
permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval 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.
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 constructio-'
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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features

J. B. Setzer, P.E.
august 23,2012
Page Three
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area,will be completed and stabilized prior to diverting
water into the new channel. Whenever possible,channel relocations shall be allowed to stabilize for an entire
growing season.
6. Compensatory mitigation for 403 linear feet of impact to streams is required. We understand that you have chosen to
perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program(EEP), and that EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for the project. EEP has indicated in a letter
dated August 8,2012 that they will assume responsibility for satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory
mitigation requirements for the above referenced project, in accordance with the EEP Mitigation Banking Instrument
signed July,28,2010.
7. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they 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.
8. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
9. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
10. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
18. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
20. 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.
21. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.

Mr.J. B. Setzer,P.E.
August 23,2012
Page Four v
22. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
23. 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.
24. 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 NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
25. 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.
26 The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
27. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all '
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
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 1 J
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
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.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

Dear Mr. Bryan:
The Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received your Stormwater Management
Permit Application for the widening of NCSR 2156 Cheek Road in Buncombe County on August 20, 2012.
Based on our review of the submitted project details you do not appear to be proposing a development activity at
this location that would be subject to the Stormwater requirements as provided for in.Title 15A NCAC 02H.1000.

02B .0104. Based on the application review,the proposed activities listed below,meet the requirements of the
�- Title 15A NCAC 02B .0104.
1. Sheet flow on grass shoulders along the roadway.
2. Grassed roadway ditches.
This exemption applies only to the State Stormwater Management Permit for the currently proposed
activity. If at any time in the future,development of any part of this site is planned,as defined in 15A NCAC
02H .1000, or if the proposed activities differ in any manner from what is shown on the plans on file with the
Division,you must submit the project for review of the applicability to the stormwater management rules. If you
have any question concerning this matter,please contact me at(828)296-4500.

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.
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 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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, an((�
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control`
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such
that they equal, or exceed,the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites,borrow sites,and waste
pile(spoil)projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they 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.
6. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the` ~J
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.

J.B. Setzer,P.E.
.ugust 24,2012
Page Three
7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
16. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
18. 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.
19. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. 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.
24. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.

Mr.J. B. Setzer,P.E.
August 24, 2012
Page Four
25. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
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 404
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.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions,please telephone Mr.Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Subject: Permit Modification Request
Candler Travel Center
NPDES Permit Number NCO085952
Dear Ms. Gloeckler:
The Division of Water Quality(Division) has reviewed your letter dated August 8, 2012 within which you
request certain modifications to the subject permit.
Full consideration has been given to your request. At this time, the following has been determined:
• Outfall 001 discharges to surface waters,not a ditch, as described in the request letter. Therefore,North
Carolina water quality standards apply to those waters and permit limit calculations must be based on
hydrologic characteristics in that segment of stream.
• The culvert under Interstate 40 conveys a stream. As above, water quality standards and permit limits
protections are applicable to those waters throughout the piped reach.
• Reduced daily effluent discharge rates below the permitted flow from the plant will not have an
influence on permit limits.
Therefore,the requested permit modifications must be denied.
In order for the permit to possibly contain higher effluent limits, the WWTP outfall would need to discharge
directly to Georges Branch Creek,not the unnamed tributary. A full analysis of Georges Branch Creek as well as
the Days Inn discharge characteristics would be required before permit limits could be determined.

Confirmation of hydrologic characteristics of the unnamed tributary to which the plant currently discharges
could be beneficial, if changes have occurred since the plant was originally permitted. Watershed modifications
can influence stream flow, including both increases and decreases in discharge rates.
The Division appreciates the cooperation Travel Centers of America has shown through the efforts to improve
the performance of the WWTP and return the system to a more consistent.compliance status.
Please contact me if you have questions or comments regarding the enclosed determinations or if I can be of any
assistance whatsoever.

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.
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 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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface water,,
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The 200 feet of Shoulder/Bank Restoration work at Site 5 has already been completed.
5. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning season of
October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
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(WSI, WSII)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm water runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/ [15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities to.-
provide erosion control. J
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover,erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the

x. J. B. Setzer, P.E.

following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins, etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer- and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control
measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
8. The channel reconstruction will be constructed in a dry work area and stabilized before stream flows are diverted into
the new channel. Stream banks shall be matted with coir-fiber matting. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall
be limited to native riparian vegetation, and should include establishment of a vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. Also, rip-rap may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to
determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. Once the stream has been turned into the new channel, it may be
necessary to relocate stranded fish to the new channel to prevent fish kills.
9. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
10. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream,to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. The dimension,pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
21. A_copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.

Mr.J. B. Setzer,P.E.
August 28,2012
Page Four
23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
24. 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.
25. 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 NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
26. 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.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/off,�
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 404
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.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

Dear Sirs and Madams:
On August 23, 2012, Jeff Menzel and I visited Buddy Lane to investigate a complaint that a private
sewer was discharging untreated wastewater to a stream. Mr. Steve Chambers of the Rutherford County
Health Department was also present.
Upon introducing a leak tracer dye to the collection system, it was confirmed that untreated wastewater
was entering a stream and eventually Lake Lure. This situation is considered an illegal discharge and
must be corrected immediately.

further actions will be readily taken, if a repair that eliminates the discharge is not completed in a timely
manner.
Failure to repair the line and eliminate the illegal discharge of wastewater to the stream can result J
in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
