Wastewater Collection System
Permit Number WQCS00323
Burke County
Dear Mr. Settlemyer:
Attached is the report resulting from my August 28, 2008 inspection of the wastewater
collection system operation and maintenance program being carried out by the Town of
Drexel. I found the Town to be doing a good job of caring for its collection system.
The Town needs to designate a collection system Operator in Responsible Charge. Scotty
Costner does not appear in our records as having been so designated. The appropriate
form for making such designation is attached.
I look forward to receiving a copy of the Town's collection system Capital improvements
Plan. Please provide the engineer preparing the plan with a copy of the Town's collection
system permit so that that person is aware of what a collection system Capital
Improvements Plan must contain.
The Town is making good progress with preparation of a system map. I am glad that
Burke County is able to assist with this undertaking. As we discussed, the features which
now need to be added are pipe material, flow direction, pipe age, and pump station and
capacity.
I suggest that the Town of Drexel look into purchasing a closed circuit television for use in
investigating sewer condition. Approximately 90% of the Town's sewers are terracotta.
Individual sections were joined using concrete which by now is starting to deteriorate.
Much money can be saved were the Town able to investigate problem areas with a
television camera rather than by digging.
I observed that the emergency standby generator at the Bryant Road pump station is not
working. The presence of a large emergency/peaking power generator in Town, the fact
that the Town owns the power distribution system, and the ability on the part of the Town one

Inspection Summary:
The Town of Drexel is doing a good job of operating its wastewater collection system.
The Town is making good progress with its collection system map. Items yet to be added are flow direction arrows, pipe
material, pipe age, and pump station and capacity.
The Town has authorized the consulting firm of HSMM to prepare a collection system CIP.
The emergency power generator at the Bryant Road Pump Station does not work. This may not be an issue for the
reason that the Town owns the electrical distribution system, an emergency/peaking power unit is located in Town and the
Town has the ability to store raw wastewater for a period of time in old WWTP units.

Comment: Bryant Road Pump Station is located at the Town's VWWTP. Pump Station
was placed inoperation in the late 70s or early 80s and pumps Drexel's sewage to the
Town of Valdese for treatment. The Town has the capability of storing sewage in the
old VWVTP units should the pump station fail. The pump station has permanantly
installed emergency power generator which will not work. The Town operates the
power distribution system. An emergency/peaking power generator is located in Town
probably giving Drexel capability to deal with power loss at the pump station.

Asheville,North Carolina 28802
Dear Mr. Swain:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the following impacts in
an unnamed tributary to the South Toe River, for the purpose of widening and making improvements to NCSR 1149
(Rice Road) in Yancey County:
Stream Im acts in the French Broad River Basin

63+77
Total 0 0 15 50 1 65 0
Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 15 linear feet. Temporary Impact for Project: 50 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 15, 2008 (received August 18,
2008), 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. 3704, 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.

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. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)]. Temporary cover
(wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15
working days of ground disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate
seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an
angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever possible.
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. 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.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout Jr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-1, 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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Rpprap 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
12. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
13. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
14. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
15. 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.
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. 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.
18. 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.
19. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
20. 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.

Subject: Maintenance of Private Sewers
Buncombe County
Dear Dr. Bush and Ms. Worley:
It has been brought to my attention that the privately owned sewer serving your properties
on Lookout Road in Asheville is experiencing problems. This remains true even after the
line was recently worked on. The line is obstructed and is not flowing freely. This backing
up of sewage allows the sewage to turn septic and emit noxious gases from roof vents.
The line is of a size intended to serve one house. The fact that three houses are on the
line tells me that problems will continue to occur.
Responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of the line falls on the owners of the line. The
Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County (MSD) has a very generous private
sewer rehabilitation program whereby the District will assume maintenance responsibility
for a private sewer if the owners of the property under which the sewer lies will give written
permission for the MSD to come on their property to maintain the line. I have discussed
your sewer line with Mike Butler with the MSD. Mike is of the opinion that your sewer is a
candidate for inclusion in the private sewer rehabilitation program. Attached is the form
used to give permission to the MSD to come on your property to maintain your sewer.
cannot state too strongly what a good deal this is. Each of you would need to sign the
form. Mike would want all the forms returned together by one of you willing to serve as
contact with the MSD. The Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County's mailing
address is 2028 Riverside Drive, Asheville, North Carolina 28804.

Subject: Repair of Private Sewer
Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Lantzius
am informed that the sewer serving your apartment building at 25 Von Ruck Court
crosses your neighbor's property at 12 Von Ruck Court. The same line likewise serves 12
Von Ruck Court. It seems that the line recently became blocked and was overflowing raw
sewage onto the property at 12 Von Ruck. Subsequent investigation revealed that the line
was constructed of"orangeburg" pipe which was at one time commonly used for sewers
but time has demonstrated that it is most unsuitable for this purpose. It was determined
that the line was deteriorated at several locations.
In order to stop the overflow of sewage onto her property the owner at 12 Von Ruck
repaired the sewer at her own expense. I call this to your attention for the reason that she
would now appreciate your helping with the cost of this sewer repair. This request seems
reasonable to me since you benefited from the project in that sewage from your apartment
is now being properly conveyed to the Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe
County and your apartment is now served by an adequate sewer. Whereas before the
repair your apartment was served by a substandard and deteriorated sewer, it now is
evidently served by a sewer which should be capable of long service.

SUBJECT: NPDES Permit Application
Tinseltown RV Park
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Jackson County
On May 27, 2008 1 looked at the piece of property in Jackson County proposed
for development as the Tinseltown RV Park. The proposed receiving stream is
the Tuckaseigee River. I know of no reason we should not issue the requested
permit. Neither am I aware of any special conditions that should be made a part
of any permit we issue.
I will call your attention to the presence of the elk toe mussel, a federally listed
endangered species, in the Tuckaseigee River below the project site. Also be
aware that segments of the Tuckaseigee River in the project area appear on the
Draft 2008 303(d) list for fecal coliform impairment.

Dear Mr. Swain:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the following impacts in
an unnamed tributary to Brush (Bush) Creek, for the purpose of widening and making improvements to NCSR 1318
(Charlie Deyton Road)in Yancey County:

Total 0 0 10 60 70 0
Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 10 linear feet. Temporary Impact for Project: 60 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated September 2, 2008 (received September 4,
2008), 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. 3704, 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.

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 sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained. on the project site to minimize
transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent
herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 working days of ground disturbing activities. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian
areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting
shall be secured in place with staples or wherever possible. 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. 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.
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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. 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 seasonal
following completion of construction.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize

Subject: Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Connestee Falls
Permit No. WQCS00219
Wastewater Collection System
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Sisserson:
Thank you for taking the time to send us your September 3, 2008 E-mail in which you express
concern about the Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) which occurred at Connestee Falls on August
28, 2008. 1 think you and I have had the pleasure of meeting one time. I was looking at one of
the sewage pumping stations at Connestee Falls when you came down and expressed an
interest in a portable emergency power generator parked at the pumping station. The SSO you
have interest in occurred when a split developed in the force main serving sewage Pump Station
Number 10. In accordance with your request I am sending you a copy of the written report
submitted by Transylvania Utilities for this particular spill.
Transylvania Utilities has for some time been taking steps to reduce the potential for SSOs from
the collection system serving Connestee Falls. In 2006 and 2007 Transylvania Utilities replaced
6,565 feet of sewage pumping station force main. This project replaced all of the force main
serving Pump Station number 1 and half of the force main associated with Pump Station number
10. In 2008 the company replaced 2,500 feet of force main serving Pump Station number 6.
In an orderly process and as funds are available Transylvania Utilities is upgrading its sewage
pumping station force mains. You might be interested in knowing that Section 4.01 of this
Division's "Minimum Design Criteria for the Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains" states
that PVC and High Density Polyethylene are satisfactory material for use as sewage pumping
station force mains.
In your E-mail you requested copies of Transylvania Utilities SSO written reports back as far as
the year 2005. We have these reports on file and you are welcome to come in and make copies.
When making copies the first 25 pages are free. After that you will be charged 2.5 cents per
page.

I am told that in the future Transylvania Utilities will notify all property owners when a SSO occurs
which reaches surface waters. Nothing about this situation deserves the special investigation
you requested. To the contrary Transylvania Utilities does a good job of operating the collection
system serving Connestee Falls. Should you feel the need to discuss this matter in greater detail
I encourage you to call me at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Upon inspection I was unable to determine how the facility was deriving its weekly composite samples used
for reporting. When asked about this Mr. Harry James offered no clear explanation for the deficiency. There
were two sampling units on the property, which did not appear to be installed. The NPDES permit defines a
composite sample as "A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab
samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater
discharge during the sample period." In order to remain in compliance this facility must prove that it is
conducting composite sampling of its effluent.
The plant is in a state of construction, however the facility is still expected to operate according to its
NPDES permit in order to insure compliance. It should be noted that at the time of inspection the plant was
producing clear effluent and the operator was conducting process control tests.
I am requesting that the facility provide in writing how it is conducting its weekly composite sampling as
required by the NPDES permit.

Is composite sampling flow proportional?
Is sample collected below all treatment units?
❑ ■ ❑ ❑
Is proper volume collected?
❑ ■ ❑ ❑
Is the tubing clean?
#Is proper temperature set for sample storage(kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius)? ❑ ■
❑ ❑
Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit(frequency,sampling type representative)? ❑ ■ ❑ ❑
Comment: I saw no evidence that this facility is conducting the composite sampling as

Permit Number WQCS00075

Dear Mr. Hollifield:
Attached is the report resulting from my Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
City of Marion's sewage collection system operation and maintenance program that I
conducted on September 10, 2008. The City of Marion is doing a good job of operating
its collection system.
Following are a few items the City needs to attend to:
(1) The City's Collection System map needs the addition of flow direction arrows and
manholes. Manholes should be located by GPS.
(2) The City got out of the business of educating its residents regarding the proper
disposal of fats, oils and grease when it lost access to cable TV. The City now
needs to get back in the educational business whether or not it uses cable TV.
(3) Upon returning to the office I determined that Robert Hooper does not appear in
our records as having been designated by the City as Collection System Backup
ORC. Attached is the designation form to be used for that purpose. Please
submit the completed form to the address indicated.

Beginning on December 1, 2007, civil penalties may be assessed for SSOs based on
volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, or recreation area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of
the civil penalty include the violator's spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage,
whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

he was deriving composite samples, which are reported on the DMRs, he stated that he
pulls 100 mis of sample every hour for 8 hours and reports that as the representative
sample.
It should be noted that the sampling frequency for composite BOD and TSS is 3 times a
week for both the influent and effluent. This information is in Section A.1. of the NPDES
permit.
The facility did not notify NCDENR about this equipment failure nor did they request a
variance from the agency. No written statement could be found in the operators log
documenting the equipment failure.

Beginning on December 1, 2007, civil penalties may be assessed for SSOs based on
volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, or recreation area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of
the civil penalty include the violator's spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage,
whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, or recreation area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of
the civil penalty include the violator's spill history, the cost of rectifying the damage,
whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any questions regarding this NOV or our policy relating to issuance of NOVs
or Civil Penalties for SSOs please contact Roy Davis in our Asheville Regional Office at
828-296-4659.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Burke County General Services
Wastewater Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00324
Burke County
Dear Mr. Fisher:
Attached you will find the report resulting from the Burke County Collection System
Permit Compliance Evaluation Inspection which I conducted on September 16, 2008. This
report looks way to much like the report which I sent to Burke County on October 18,
2007. If these same deficiencies appear at the time of my next collection system
inspection at Burke County I will see no alternative but to recommend the assessment of
civil penalties. I would recommend civil penalties against Burke County now were it not
for the fact that both you and Anthony Ray have just taken over responsibility for
maintenance and operation of the County's collection system. Be aware that there are
those above me who may instruct me to prepare documents leading to assessment of
civil penalties against Burke County based upon my September 16, 2008 inspection.
Following are deficiencies observed during my September 16, 2008 Collection
System inspection:
(1) Burke County still had not established a Public Education Program relating to
the proper disposal of residential cooking grease.
(2) Burke County had not established a collection system Capital Improvements
Plan as called for in Permit Number WQCS00324. The Plan must cover a
three to five year period of time, include a goals statement, a description of the
project area, a description of existing facilities, a description of known
deficiencies and a description of forecasted future needs.
(3) Burke County cannot produce documentary evidence that it has cleaned 10
% of its collection system. There is discussion of contracting out this activity.
Given the size of the staff currently available for this activity I encourage the
County to look closely at the contracting option. rrortncarotina
Naturally
2090 U.S. Highway 70,Swannanoa,NC 28778 Telephone:[phone] Fax: [phone] Customer Service 1 877 623-6748

(4) Burke County still needs to modify its sewer use ordinance to give the County
clear authority to require installation of a grease trap at commercial food
service operations.
(5) Burke County needs a single concise, compliant system map including the
following features; pipe location, size, material and flow direction. I
recommend that manholes be located by means of a GPS unit.
(6) Our records indicate that Burke County has designated neither a Collection
System ORC nor a Backup ORC. Please submit the attached Designation
Form to the indicated address.
The County has a permanently installed emergency power generator at each of its
sewage pumping stations. Given the complexity and value of this equipment I recommend
that the County contract the maintenance of these units.
likewise recommend that the County contract sewer right-of-way mowing; at least
until such time as the County is better staffed to under take this activity.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4659 should you need to discuss this
report.

Dear Mr. Brown:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Inspection Report from the inspection conducted September 3, 2008. The
Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by Janet Cantwell of the Asheville Regional Office. The treatment
facility was found to be in violation of Permit NCO069892 for the following:
Compliance issues found during the inspection are:
Inspection Area Compliance Issue
Part Ii, Section C.2. : Weeds and woody vegetation/trees have been allowed to grow around the
Proper Operation and edge of the dam, compromising its structural integrity. This was mentioned
Maintenance in two previous inspections.
During two previous inspections, the streamward face of the dam was
observed to be sloughing off, indicating the dam could fail. Due to the heavy
vegetation I was unable to determine its present situation; however, it
appears nothing has been done to correct the problem.
Sediment deposits were observed near the outlet of the lagoon; periodically
monitor the depth of the sediment in the lagoon and pump accordingly. This
was also noted in two previous inspections.
In the previous inspection on 10/12/06 it was mentioned that the lagoon was
not secured from entry by unauthorized persons or animals, both of which
could damage the lagoon or compromise its integrity.

As mentioned in a previous Notice of Violation dated 10/27/06, the dam for the wastewater lagoon needs a
review by an engineer qualified in dam construction before any repair and maintenance is attempted. Removal and
cutting of the trees and shrubbery on the dam itself would leave the root system to decompose and cause the dam to
fail. Breaching of the dam could be a safety hazard for the workmen and also scour and fill the stream with silt, which
would be a sedimentation violation. Additionally, the streamward face of the dam is sloughing off, indicating the dam
could fail..
Mr. Bill Green, Town Administrator, replied to the Notice of Violation by addressing some of the issues;
however, it appeared nothing has been done since the last inspection.
As a reminder, your NPDES permit, issued 11/1/07, includes a new daily maximum effluent limit of 17 ug/L for
total residual chlorine (TRC). The limit shall become effective on May 1, 2009 (eighteen months following the
effective date of the permit). This is a reminder because additional treatment units will likely have to be constructed in
order to meet the limit unless other methods of disinfection are used.
The Asheville Regional Office is considering preparation of an enforcement action for the violation
of permit conditions of the subject NPDES permit. To prevent further action, carefully review these violations and
deficiencies and respond in writing to this office within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter. You should
address the causes of noncompliance and all actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. If you
should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell at 8281296-4500.

2009 (eighteen months following the effective date of the permit). This is a reminder
because additional treatment units will likely have to be constructed in order to meet the
limit unless other treatment methods are used for disinfection.

Inspection Date: 09/03/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Lagoons Yes No NA NE
Comment: Weeds and woody vegetation surround the edge of the lagoon.
The dam for the wastewater lagoon needs a review by an engineer qualified in dam
construction before any repair and maintenance is attempted.
Removal and cutting of the trees and shrubbery on the dam itself would leave the root
system to decompose and cause the dam to fail. Breaching of the dam could be a
safety hazard for the workmen and also scour and fill the stream with silt, which would
be a sedimentation violation.
During the last inspection, the streamward face of the dam was observed to be
sloughing off, indicating the dam could fail. Due to the heavy vegetation I was unable to
determine its present situation; however, it appears nothing has been done.
Sediment deposits were observed near the outlet of the lagoon; periodically monitor the
depth of the sediment in the lagoon and pump accordingly.

Dear Mr. Edwards
As you can probably surmise, I am not the Mayor of Andrews, Mr. John R. Brown is currently
the Mayor of our fine municipality. I will attempt to address the findings they are presented.
1. Trees and shrubbery have been allowed to grow on the dam, I'm not at all sure
about how much this growth has compromised the structural integrity of the
structure. We do plan to remove the growth and shrubbery that is small enough
as soon as we have a few more hard freezes. Snakes, both copperheads and
rattlesnakes are found in this area, so we intend to make sure that none are
surprised or disturbed when the workers approach the area on foot. No growth of
six (6) inches or larger will be removed by this crew.
2. The streamward face of the dam is sloughing off. Due to the growth, I am unable
to determine how much, but we will correct this problem as soon as the growth is
removed to allow a detailed examination of the area.
3. There is no fence around the wastewater lagoon to prevent access by humans or
animals. The area is behind a locked gate to prevent access by unauthorized
people and the area around the property is posted against trespassing.

I do realize that animals can not read the signs and probably don't pay much
attention to the locked gate. However, I do know that a goose visits the lagoon
each year and raises a brood on the lagoon. Based on this, we don't believe that
the lagoon poses a great danger to the wildlife population of the area. We are
getting quotes to fence the new water treatment plant and will ask for inclusion of
the lagoon in the quotes.
We are reviewing information on engineers qualified to work with small impoundments such as
this to review the dam and to provide guidance as to what steps are necessary to keep this
lagoon in operation.
Sincerely
Bill Green

Dear Mr. Leatherwood:
I am writing this in response to Mr. Patrick Bradshaw's September 11, 2008
Memorandum to Mr. Roger Edwards, Regional Supervisor, Surface Water Protection
Section. In that memorandum Mr. Bradshaw asked for a written statement to the effect
that the 25,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant serving Silver Bluff Nursing Home has
the capacity to treat the wastewater which would result if 20 additional beds were
installed. You may treat this letter as that statement.
According to our data and calculations the addition of 20 new beds at Silver Bluff
Nursing Home would result in a wastewater flow of approximately 24,000 GPD through
your 25,000 GPD capacity plant. This statement is provided on the basis of the promises
you made to me in your September 17, 2008 letter. You may call me at [phone]
should you have need to discuss this matter.

SUBJECT: Twenty-Four Hour Non-Compliance Notification Sediment Removal
Plan Approval
White Oak Plantation
Polk County
Dear Mr. Carroll:
The Asheville Regional Office received a twenty-four hour notification of sediment loss on August
29, 2008 for White Oak Plantation Development in Polk County. The verbal notification on
August 29 indicated a basin was overrun and sediment reached a stream. Clear Water
Environmental Consultants (CWEC) provided a written notification to the Division of Water
Quality on September 11, 2008. The written notification included a sediment removal restoration
plan.
The Sediment Removal Plan is approved with requests and recommendations. Asheville Regional
Office requests two additional items to the plan. Identification of the impacted stream is requested
on a topographic map layout. Including the locations of posted flag stations along the impacted
channel. Enclosed is a copy of the Sediment Removal Guidance indicating inclusion of these
items in plan submittal. The plan submitted by CWEC states that the removed sediment would be
placed behind a silt fence. It is recommended that no sediment be placed behind a silt fence to
avoid compromising the erosion control effectiveness. Instead create other containment devices or
spread the removed sediment and immediately stabilize away from the stream channel.
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.

Linda Wiggs

FROM: James Aaron
SUBJECT: ARO Fecal Coliform Sampling for 2008
During 2007 the Ambient Monitoring System identified two sites classified
"B" waters in the French Broad and Little Tennessee River Basins to have
elevated fecal coliform numbers . The French Broad River at Asheville and
the Little Tennessee River at Iotla showed elevated levels during the
calendar year of 2007 In 2008, follow up "5 in 30" sampling was
initiated to determine if standard 2B. 0219 (3b) was violated at either
site .
The 2008 sampling on the French Broad River occurred from June 3 , 2008
through June 30, 2009 . The 2008 sampling on the Little Tennessee River
occurred from July 15, 2008 through August 14 , 2009 . There was no
significant rainfall, nor were there any SSO' s reported on these dates at
either site . During this time both sites met the standard 2B. 0219 (3b) :
fecal Coliform not to exceed a geometric mean of 200/100 ml based upon at
least five consecutive samples examined during any 30-day period, and did
not exceed the standard of 4.00/100 ml in more than 20 percent of the
samples examined during such period.

Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Stefan:
On July 23, 2008, Linda Wiggs from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection for Bear Creek Estates along Wehutty Road in
Cherokee County. Pangaea Consultants were present during the inspection. Ongoing efforts and
previous assessments have failed to gain compliance at Bear Creek Estates.
Continued stream standards and Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 violations were
noted during the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to Unnamed.Tributary(UT) to
Rocky Ford Creek Classification.C are still present constituting stream standard violations.
Sediment impacts to UT to Rocky Ford were cited in Division of Water Quality(DWQ)Notice of
Violation dated January 15, 2008. On February 25, 2008, Pangaea Development.Services
proposed a plan to remove sediment impacts from the streams. To date this work has not been
completed.
The cause of the impacts to the stream was failure to properly install and maintain erosion control
measures. Ongoing maintenance of erosion control measures is essential for compliance. Failure
to provide the requested monitoring records confirms Construction Stormwater Permit violations.
Furthermore the rain gauge was full at the time of the inspection.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below, were
noted:

Min Property on Rose Creek �\
Cherokee County
Item I. Removal of Best Usage (culverts)
The culverting of approximately 20 linear feet of an un-named tributary to Rose Creek
and 40 linear feet of Rose Creek (WS-IV) 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.
Item II. Discharge of Other Wastes
Allowing sediment to be discharged into surface water of the State of North Carolina is a
violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3)f. Other wastes include oils; deleterious
substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the waters
injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely
affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated
uses;
Item III. Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
The culverting of approximately 20 linear feet of an un-named tributary to Rose Creek
and 40 linear feet of Rose Creek(WS-IV) represents violations of 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
DWQ site visits and file review confirmed that impacts occurred without a 404 Permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A file review indicates that the U.S. Army
,Corps of Engineers (COE) has not authorized use of a 404 Permit for this activity nor has
notification been provided to the COE for this activity. The file review confirmed that a
Pre-construction Notification has not been received by the Division of Water Quality for
this project and that a 401 Water Quality Certification has not been issued. A Pre-
Construction Notification submitted to DWQ is required prior to the above-mentioned
impacts pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
Requested Response
This Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 15 days of receipt of
this Notice. Your response should be sent to both this office at the letterhead address 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:
Removal of Use
1. Please explain why these impacts occurred without prior authorization.
2. Please provide documentation (including a detailed site map/survey) depicting all
jurisdictional water features (e.g. streams, wetlands, buffers) on the site. This
documentation should describe and quantify the impacts to those jurisdictional
features, and should include plans to avoid further stream and wetland impacts on the
site.

operty on Rose Creek

3. Please submit the following documents for review and approval:
Removal of Best Usage
a. Stream Restoration Plan (pipe impacts) — Please explain how you plan to
restore the pattern, profile and dimension of the impacted stream channels to
include the removal of pipes. The streambed must be restored to the original
profile, the stream banks must be stabilized, and any fill material must be
removed from the riparian zone. Replanting of the riparian zone will be
required.
b. Stream Restoration Plan (sediment impacts) Sediment impacts to the
streams onsite and downstream of the site must be removed. As a part of this
plan, you should provide the amount (depth) of material that has been
deposited in the floodplain, stream and any wetlands. This information should
be depicted on a map you provide. It is recommended that you use hand labor
(buckets, shovels and wheelbarrows) to remove deposited sediment from the
stream channel. The sediment should be removed from the channel, taken to
high ground away from the stream channel and stabilized. Also, the plan must
address the measures that will be used for temporary stabilization/sediment
control while this work is under way.
c. Permit Application—If you wish for any impacts to remain in place, you must
contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for information on the
type(s) of permit required. Depending on the type of permits USACOE
requires, application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to DWQ will also
be required. Please note that sediment impacts to streams are not permittable.
d. Please indicate in your response a detailed schedule with dates explaining
when the restoration will be accomplished, and if you plan to seek a permit for
the permittable impacts, when an application will be submitted.
4. Please clearly explain why appropriate 401 Water Quality Certification and a 404
Permit were not secured.
5. Finally, please explain how you propose to prevent these problems from reoccurring
on future projects.
You are encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with your plan development,
permit, certification and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.
It is required that you contact the Division of Land Resources and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. These contacts are necessary to ensure that your restoration
efforts are in compliance with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and Section
404 of the Clean Water Act.
Thank 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.

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated July 29, 2008 (received August 4, 2008),
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. 3368. This Certification corresponds
to Nationwide Permit Number 33 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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 will expire with the-accompanying-404
Permit.
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 the
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. All culvert replacements will be constructed in a dry work area, and stabilized before stream flows are diverted. 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.
2. The Federal Highway Administration shall strictly adhere to sediment and erosion control Best Management
Practices as described for High Quality Waters entitled"Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds"(15A NCAC 4B
.0124)throughout design and construction of the project.
3. 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 be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
4. 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.
5. Sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to minimize
sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following
disturbance. Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in
steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain
vegetative cover. Matting shall be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees.
Tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
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-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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. 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.
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. 1
9. Riprap shall not be place in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.

&ose
,r'23,2008
hree
10. 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.
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 daily and maintained to prevent
- --------contamination of stream-waters-from-fuels,-lubricants,-hydraulic-fluids, or-other toxic materials._
13. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the bridge shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
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. 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.
17. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
18. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at the construction site at all times. In
addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the US
Forest Service or the on-site project manager.
19. Upon completion of the project, the Federal Highway Administration Project 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.
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
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 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.
23. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
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 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.
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.

Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 30 linear feet. Temporary Impact for Project: 130 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated September 9, 2008 (received September 11,
2008), 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. 3704, 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.

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 sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to minimize
transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent
herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 working days of ground disturbing activities. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian
areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes graded at an angle, which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting
—shall be secured inP. with-staples or -
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. 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.
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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
12. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
13. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
14. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
15. 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.
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. 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.
18. 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.
19. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
20. Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of
C'omoletion Form" to notify NC DWO when all work included in the_§_4D_l__Ce En 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.

Dear Mr. Odom:
This Office is in receipt of your letter dated September 24, 2008 regarding the possible
request of additional flow for the subject facility. The Division of Water Quality would not
expect any problems with such a request; however, it should be noted that this type of request
would result in a major permit modification, which include a change in effluent limitations. Also
of concern would the probable need for the sanitary district to develop and implement an
approved pretreatment program.
If you need additional information, or if you have any questions,please do not hesitate to

Dear Mr. Galloway:
Attached is the report resulting from my September 18, 2008 operation and maintenance
inspection of the sewage collection system serving the Town of Waynesville. The Town of
Waynesville is doing a good job of caring for its collection system.
The Town of Waynesville has done a fine job of helping to identify and correct wastewater
sources which contribute to high fecal coliform counts in Richland Creek and its tributaries.
More and more Richland Creek is becoming an important recreational feature of the
Waynesville community. The replacement of over a mile of old sewer in the Shelton
Branch drainage has resulted in improvements in this particular stream. Please extend my
thanks to the Town Council who provided the funding for the line replacement and the staff
who made it happen.
As much progress as has been made in improving the quality of the water in Shelton
Branch, bringing it into full compliance with the State's Water Quality Standard for fecal
coliform seems to be a tough nut to crack. I have asked Fred and Robert to look into dye
testing the lower portion of the Shelton Branch collection system while blocking the flow to
increase the pressure of the sewage in the lines. The concern expressed centers around
-- --blocking the lines-so effectively-that-sewage is-backed into-low-lying-basementsWe - --- -- --
certainly share this concern and as much as we favor blocking the lines before inserting
dye we do not want to put sewage into a homeowners basement either.
I am told that the Town Council has some money in a project to map the Town's storm
water collection system. I have hopes that successful completion of this project will allow
the Town to piggyback a collection system map on the storm water collection system map.

Inspection Summary:
The Town of Waynesville is doing a fine job of maintaining and operating its wasteewatet collection system.
We are particularly pleased about the Town's very agressive program of line replacement.
I encourage the Town Council to increase funding of GPS mapping. Electronic maps are a far superior way to capture
data than paper maps.The expected retirement in a few years of key personnel makes it imperitave that the Town step
up its electronic mapping efforts.

MEMO TO: BOB SLEDGE
FROM: ROY DAVIS ``
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2008
SUBJECT: BURNSVILLE CASE
YANCEY COUNTY
Hi Roy,
Sorry to be so slow in my review of this case. I've been back in school from the time it
was handed to me and I'm afraid I'm easily distracted and lacking in focus these days. I
think I understand what's at issue in the case, but there are a few places where we
probably will want to tighten up our arguments with more documentation or clarify some
things. Would you please look over the following comments/questions at your leisure,
and we can discuss them further at some later time. I hope the comments don't sound too
critical; they're mostly just my thoughts written down as I worked through the file I
received.
Do we have a statement from the DOT contract workers? Do we have an itemization of
the dead wildlife seen on that day?
Attached is a copy of the April 28, 2008 letter from the Catena Group. The
attached copy of the May 1, 2008 E-mail from the USFWS indicates the
observation of shells of eleven dead Appalachian elktoe mussels and two wavy-
rayed lampmusssels. The Catena Group letter mentions the observation of six
Appalachian elktoe mussels(same mussels as observed by USFWS). We do not
have an itemization of dead Appalachian elktoes from the WRC for the reason
that I did not request a count. I have requested that the USFWS assign a dollar
value to the dead Appalachian elktoes observed. My request has been passed
on to Steve Fraley with the WRC. Not having this information, I did not construct
the F & D to try to recover the value of killed elktoes.
Roy's narrative says US Fish& Wildlife and the WRC were in the river on April 24 and
at least one group "corroborated"the observation of the contract workers. What did they
find? Is there a report?Do we have a count of dead bivalves and fish?What does it mean
to say the benthic species were infested with blackspot parasite?
Again I refer you to the USFS May 1, 2008 E-mail to me as well as a copy of a
WRC May 28,. 2008 E-mail. The WRC May 28, 2008 E-mail speaks to the
subject of the blackspot parasite.

Did Roy see any dead organisms in the river as he moved upstream toward the WWTP
on 4/23?
I saw no dead organisms on this date. Keep in mind that the dead Appalachian
elktoe mussels are seen only when snorkeling.
Do we have any pictures of the WWTP or the plume its discharge made in the river
from the time of the violations?
Jeff Menzel sent you the requested pictures electronically.
I don't know much about pretreatment. Why was Glen Raven Mills not considered a SIU
and monitored under the town's pretreatment program? Do we believe it was their
discharge that led to the problems? Does their discharge account for any of the very high
metals values they have experienced?
Keith Haynes has responded to you separately regarding this question, Keith will
be your contact on all questions regarding pretreatment.
• Has a report been prepared on the full scale benthic study performed in the river on May
7?
Attached is a copy of the July 10, 2008 report detailing the results of Benthic
sampling occurring in the Cane River on May 7, 2008.
What is the source of the fecal coliform values shown on the summary sheet? Can we
get the raw data?Are these geometric means of results obtained during those time
frames?How many samples were taken?Any idea why some of the values from the area
of the bridge seem to be different from results reported on the facility's DMR?Do you
believe it is appropriate to cite a violator for exceeding the WQ standard at two different
points in the stream during the same time period?Do you think we can cite the facility
for causing the standard to be exceeded 1.5 miles downstream, when the standard is met
only 0.5 miles downstream? Are there any potential sources for fecal coliform other than
the WWTP in that stretch of the stream?
Burnsville's difficult to disinfect, inadequately treated wastewater was the cause
of the high fecal values observed in the Cane River with one exception, that
being when the cause was a blocked and overflowing sewer belonging to
Burnsville. Attached is a spread sheet showing the raw data. One of the
attachments(Cane River Fecal Coliform Violations) submitted to you along with
the F & D indicated the fecal values shown result from arriving at the geometric

mean of five samples taken within a thirty day time period. When we see fecal
values increase as we go downstream during the same sampling event, we
presume that we are dealing with a high fecal count slug that has recently
passed. For a long period of time the Town of Burnsville was feeding a liquid
chlorine solution, dropping chlorine tablets in the effluent troughs in addition to
operating its gaseous system to disinfect the poorly treated effluent. Under this
circumstance we would not expect the Burnsville effluent to came out with a
constant value fecal coliform. We are not surprised at increasing fecal coliform
values as we proceed downstream. On August 18, 2008 we found a blocked and
overflowing sewer line in Burnsville which would serve to explain the high fecal
coliform counts in the cane River when the Town's effluent fecal count was fairly
low. So yes, I think we can assess for a downstream fecal coliform violation when
just upstream no violation occurred. Likewise I have no problem with assessing
for fecal violations occurring on the same day, in the same stream but at different
locations in that stream.
In the F&D, do we need to be any more descriptive of the WWTP and its make up?
The Town of Burnsville WWTP consists of two contact stabilization plants in
parallel; one having a capacity of 0.5 MGD and the other having a capacity of 0.3
MGD. Disinfection is achieved by means of gaseous chlorination. Waste sludge
is dewatered by means of a belt press. Dewatered sludge is composted in the
- presence of wood chips.
In finding of fact E., exactly what noncompliance should the WWTP have reported?
Does a WWTP impacted by a toxic slug constitute failure to operate and maintain, or
does the fact that they were alerted to the possibility a month earlier play into this?
Excellent question. The noncompliance in my mind would be noncompliance with
permit effluent limits. Then I ask when is "first knowledge of noncompliance"? It
might not be until the first lab results come back. Given that Burnsville has an
activated sludge plant and that the toxic slug killed the activated sludge and the
sludge turned almost black it is not unreasonable to say the first knowledge
occurred when the activated sludge turned black.
Considering the nature of the violations,how do we plan to differentiate between the
violations of permit conditions E. (6) and E. (9)?
E-6 refers to noncompliance which potentially threatens public health or the
environment. E-9 refers to "the known passage of a slug of a hazardous
substance" or "process unit failure". The Burnsville WWTP upset violated both
sections in that inability to properly treat resulted in the discharge of an
inadequately disinfected effluent which contravened stream standards for fecal

endangering the public health (as evidenced by the Toe River Health District
posting the Cane.River against swimming or wading) and the Town had
knowledge of the passage of a waste stream through its WWTP which was so
toxic that it killed off the plant's activated sludge. In an activated sludge plant the
death of the activated sludge constitutes "process unit failure".
The town's normal convention is to perform sampling on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Why did they not sample on Wednesday the 23Ard?
I have not idea. I presume that you are referring to the month of April, 2008. 1
observe that the Town reported an effluent fecal result four other days that same
week.
The report and the F&D do not have any documentation to back up claims of
deficiencies in the town's pretreatment program.
trust that Keith Haynes's E-mail sufficiently answered this point.
Talk to you later. ;

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. 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.
5. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone shall not be conducted 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 the construction of the highway.
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-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. 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.
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.

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

Dear Messrs. Bullman,Mack and McCord:
On September 4, 2008, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a follow-up site visit to the McCord Dam in Macon County.
Sediment impacts to the unnamed tributary of Edwards Creek,previously documented during the
site visit on August 21, 2008, have been significantly diminished by scouring during heavy rain
events. Considering the new findings,the REQUIRED RESPONSE included in the NOV-2008-SS-
0030 is not necessary at this time. However,the NOV will remain open until the dam repairs
required by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) have been accomplished. Please provide
adequate documentation from the DLR when appropriate, in order to bring this incident to a close.
Thank you for your cooperation and efforts taken to resolve this matter. Should you have any
questions or concerns, please contact me at [e-mail] or(828) 296-4664,

Dear Mr. Ingate
On September 4, 2008, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the.Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection at the Ingate Property at 2764 Dillard Road in
Macon County. Josh Ward from the Town of Highlands was present.
Stream standard and 401 Water Quality Certification violations were noted during the inspection
and file review. Sediment impacts to an unnamed tributary of East Fork Overflow Creek,
classified as C /Trout/Outstanding Resource.Waters, were documented.
VIOLATIONS
I. Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(3)f- Greater than 900 feet of an unnamed tributary of East Fork Overflow Creek was
impacted by sediment deposition ranging from 3 to 8 inches throughout the stream reach,
representing Water Quality Stream Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3) (f).
II. Failure to Secure a 401 WQC -DWQ site visits and file review confirmed that impacts
occurred without a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A file review
indicates that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)has not authorized use of a 404

Work has started on new west bound on and off ramps at the intersection of Interstate 26 and NC 146.
Construction of the new bridge over the French Broad River is underway with bents being constructed on the
east side of the river. Work is underway for the widening of NC146 on the west side of the French Broad
River.
The project appears to be in good condition. Please continue to maintain the sediment and erosion control
structures so that State surface waters can be protected. Please refer to the attached inspection report for any
specific items noted during the inspection.

to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in
your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland

Dear Ms. Schley:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection form from the
inspection conducted on September 18, 2008. The facility appeared to be in compliance with
permit NC0044199. There are, however, a couple of items which need immediate attention:
1) Immediate attention should be given to the repair of the broken water faucet which is
necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the plant and is also a necessity
for the operator. This was mentioned in two previous inspections on 5122107 and 8110106,
2) The gap between the fence and the gate is in immediate need of repair to prevent
unauthorized access.
Please respond to this office in writing within 15 days with a timetable for the above
mentioned repairs and maintenance.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.

Subject: Findings of Site Visit—W.O. Keller Property
Dear Mr. Calhoun:
This letter is in follow-up to a site visit in which Division of Water Quality staff accompanied you
to assess stream erosion/sediment loss issues along an unnamed tributary of the Broad River found
on the W.O. Keller property.
The stream under assessment is classified as B, Trout waters. A breached impoundment exists.
along the stream reach,which is returning to a forested landscape.
The sediment load within the stream channel appeared to be typical of streams draining watersheds
disturbed by moderate development including home sites and roads. A portion of the sediment,
previously contained by the dam when intact, is now re-entering the stream system having been
exposed to normal hydrologic processes. No significance is placed on this sediment loading.
If I can provide any additional information or be of further assistance,please contact me at(828)
296-4500.
