Dear Mr. Detwiler:
Attached is the complete Fast-Track Application including check submitted by
the Town of Forest City on August 28, 2009. The Application is being returned for the
reason that it was not signed, dated nor sealed by an engineer licensed to practice in
the State of North Carolina and did not include an 8.5 x 11 inch color USGS
topographic map showing the project area. A little discussion, possibly in a cover letter,
regarding proposed pump station improvements would be useful. I look forward to
receiving a completed application.

Dear Dr. Munger:
Thank you for your letter of August 26, 2009. 1 appreciate your willingness to live
up to any maintenance obligation you may have to the private sewer on your property.
In my letter, I forgot to mention that the owners of 64 Pine Cone Drive at the end of the
sewer are in need of sewer service for a garage apartment that they have already
partially constructed. Because of small pipe diameter, antiquities material and lack of
maintenance they are unable to use the sewer for this apartment unless the sewer
comes under the maintenance umbrella of the Metropolitan Sewerage District of
Buncombe County. You could help your neighbor at 64 Pine Cone Drive gain sewer
service for a project they have already invested money in by signing the Agreement.
Thank you for your time.

Larry Townsend/ORC and Keith Haynes of this office assisted in the inspection of this facility.
Mr. Townsend stated the facility will shut down for the season in October.
The permit will expire February 28, 2011. Please request a permit renewal 180 days prior to expiration.
The logbook was on site along with a copy of the full permit.
The Annual Performance Report for 2008 was received March 2009.
A pump is on order for the declor feed; presently, the operator puts the declor in manually.
The operator stated the return &skimmer pipes will be fixed when the facility is pumped down in the fall.
It was noted that the stairway down to the discharge pipe had been knocked out by recent flooding; it needs
to be fixed and returned to use so the operator can more easily access the discharge pipe for the required
sampling.
It appears that this facility is well operated.

Subject: Private Sewer Line
Homeland Park
City of Asheville
Buncombe County
Dear Sir & Madams:
The sewer line serving your homes is failing, allowing the overflow of sewage
onto the property at 15 Woodward Avenue. I have heard several options discussed for
eliminating this illegal discharge. One involves the construction of a sewer by the
Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County (MSD) from Woodward Avenue
up to Hampshire Circle along a public right-of-way. I like this option except for the fact
that budgetary constraints may not allow construction to begin until the 2010-2011
funding year. The overflow of sewage onto 15 Woodward Avenue cannot continue that
long.
The owners of 15 Woodward Avenue tell me that they are agreeable to the
repair of the sewer on their property so long as the large tree on the corner of their
property and their house are respected. They want their property reasonably restored
at the conclusion of the project. My idea of a project involves tying into the old line at a
point above the house at 15 Woodward, carrying the new line over near the eastern
property boundary and then go generally south until the new line can be tied back into
the older sewer where it again becomes functional. Any time you have the opportunity,
wisdom would dictate that the old terracotta line should be replaced with modern
materials. You should hire a plumber to perform this work. You should make inquiry of
the City of Asheville as to whether or not a permit will be required. This project will

SUBJECT: NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection
Colbond, Incorporated
Permit No: NCS000179
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Nauert:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
August 25, 2009 at the Colbond, Incorporated, Enka facility. Jeff Menzel and I appreciate your
assistance while conducting the inspection, as well as the assistance of Mr. Gaddy and Mr.
Trantham. A summary of the inspection is provided with this letter.
As we discussed on-site, the Division will continue to assist you with determining appropriate
sampling points. An updated stormwater pollution prevention plan should be completed within 90
days of the effective date of the new permit(and annually thereafter). Following the determination
of the sampling points for quantitative and qualitative sampling, along with completion of the
updated plan, the Division expects that Colbond will resolve the existing non-compliance issues
noted in the inspection report.
The Division also recommends that Colbond work with Enka Water Control to ensure that the
stormwater outfall remains clear of debris, and that the vegetation is regularly trimmed to allow
easy access.
Please contact me at(828) 296-4665 or Susan.A.Wilson(2ncdenr.gov, if I can be of any further
assistance.
Sincerely, r

Permit: NCS000179 Owner-Facility: Colbond Inc
Inspection Date: 08/25/2009 Inspection Type:Stormwater Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Division of Water Quality staff(Susan A. Wilson and Jeff Menzel) met with Mr. Jeremy Nauert(Quality, Health, Safety and
Environmental Manager)at the site on August 25, 2009. Colbond extrudes polymer pellets to manufacture nonwoven
fabric used for carpet backing, in the construction industry, etc.
Part of the north end of the site has been sold to Fletcher Partners and is in the process of demolition. Colbond owns the
southern portion of the site and leases much of that space.A non-profit corporation (Enka Water Control)was formed
among the various site owners to control the dike,flood pumps, and outfalls. This scenario makes for complications in
determining an appropriate monitoring outfall that is the sole responsibility of Colbond and that will be representative of
runoff from Colbond's site.
A tour was conducted of the exterior of the facility, observing the potential stormwater exposure areas, outfalls, and site
conditions During the visit,the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan manual was reviewed, operational activities and
existing stormwater exposures were discussed. The stormwater permit is currently up for renewal and some of the
proposed changes were discussed with Mr. Nauert(especially regarding the"tiered"aspect of the permit).
As noted in the inspection questionnaire section,the stormwater pollution prevention plan has not been properly updated
(this plan should be updated within 90 days of the effective date of the new permit and annually thereafter). Due to the
state of flux of the site,the qualitative and quantitative monitoring was not conducted as required by the permit. Based on
conversation with Mr. Nauert during the site visit, and resolution of the appropriate monitoring areas-this noncompliance
will be remedied after issuance of the current permit(if not before).
Secondary containment surrounds existing fuel tank areas.The size of the secondary containment is unknown-but
should be stated and provided within the stormwater pollution prevention plan.Any stormwater from the these areas can
be pumped out(after ensuring there is no petroleum contamination). No vehicle maintenance is conducted on-site.
Again, at this time the Division and Mr. Nauert determined the northern edge of the property line at the east side ditch is
an appropriate location for analytical and qualitative monitoring. As dist�ssed on-site, Colbond may also wish to perform �-
analytical monitoring upstream of its site to ensure that any runoff from upstream impacts do not adversely affect
Colbond's analytical monitoring results.
The monitoring location for the west side is a bit more complex. Monitoring may need to be continued at the existing
westside outfall location if the upstream storm drain area is not feasible. In addition,the stormwater drains should be
reviewed more thoroughly in light of the current demolition to determine what drainage pipes are still viable and what
Colbond is responsible for. Colbond should discuss with this office what the final decision is with regard to qualitative and
analytical monitoring sites for the west side of the facility.
The Division recomends Colbond work with its nonprofit partner, Enka Water Control, to ensure that the stormwater outfall
(westside) remains clear of debris and the vegetation is trimmed enough to allow easy access.

Inspection Date:08/25/2009 Inspection Type:Stormwater Reason for Visit:Routine
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Yes No NA NE
Does the site have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan? ■ ❑ Cl ❑
#Does the Plan include a General Location(USGS)map? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a"Narrative Description of Practices"? ■ ❑ 11 ❑
#Does the Plan include a detailed site map including outfall locations and drainage areas? ■ ❑ Cl ❑
#Does the Plan include a list of significant spills occurring during the past 3 years? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Has the facility evaluated feasible alternatives to current practices? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the facility provide all necessary secondary containment? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a BMP summary? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a Spill Prevention and Response Plan(SPRP)? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Plan? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the facility provide and document Employee Training? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a list of Responsible Party(s)? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Is the Plan reviewed and updated annually? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Does the Plan include a Stormwater Facility Inspection Program? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
Has the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan been implemented? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
Comment: The stormwater pollution prevention plan has not been updated annually
as required by the permit. The plan needs to be updated with respect to the current
conditions (the division of property) and it needs to be updated annually.
The older plan did have the majority of components listed above, but the permittee
should ensure the all components of the stormwater pollution prevention plan are
included and updated.
The Division will require the updated plan to be completed within 90 days of the
effective date of the new permit.
Qualitative Monitoring Yes No NA NE
Has the facility conducted its Qualitative Monitoring semi-annually? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
Comment: Not all the required qualitative monitoirng was performed -only through
November 2007 (parts of the site were sold and there was confusion regarding the
monitoring).
The Division worked with Mr. Nauert regarding the best potential sites for qualitative and
quantitative monitoring. While the east side point has been determined-there are still
issues to be worked out regarding the best monitoring site for the west side.
Analytical Monitoring Yes No NA NE
Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#Has the facility conducted its Analytical monitoring from Vehicle Maintenance areas? ❑ ❑ ■ ❑
Page: 3

Permit:NCS000179 Owner-Facility: Colbond Inc
Inspection Date: 08/25/2009 Inspection Type:Stormwater Reason for Visit:Routine
Comment: Some of the analytical monitoring was performed - but not all that was
required (due to the flux with some of the site being sold off, etc.).
As stated previously, the Division worked with Mr. Nauert regarding the best potential
monitoring sites.
The lapse in monitoring should not occur in the future.
Permit and Outfalls Yes No NA NE
#Is a copy of the Permit and the Certificate of Coverage available at the site? ■ n n In
#Were all outfalls observed during the inspection? ■ ❑ ❑ ❑
#If the facility has representative outfall status, is it properly documented by the Division? ❑ n ■ ❑
#Has the facility evaluated all illicit(non stormwater)discharges? n n
Comment: Again - due to parts of the site being sold off-the Division is working with
Colbond/Mr. Nauert regarding optimal monitoring sites that are reflecting of what
Colbond is responsible for at the site.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Miles:
On August 28, 2009, Rick Allred of the North Carolina Division of Land Resources and Kevin
Barnett from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a
site inspection at your property along Mineral Springs Road in Burke County,
Construction Stormwater Permit NC7010000, 401 certification, and stream standards violations
were noted during the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to un-named tributary to Cub
Creek, a class C water, were documented constituting permit and standard violations. It was noted
that between 6 and 12 inches of sediment had been deposited in the un-named tributary for its
entire length through the property and sediment impacts continued beyond the NC DOT culvert
under Mineral Springs Road.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below, were
noted:

Dear Mr. Mejaski:
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Accurate Location of Restoration Site/Restoration Plans: Based on the submittals received in
the Asheville Regional Office; the NC State University (NCSU) plans, the Web Soil Survey,the
Lat/Long supplied as well as a site visit, it is unclear where the stream reach in need of
restoration is located. The Web Soil Survey indicated an Area of Interest (AOI)that was not
matched on the NCSU plans received. The NCSU plans only indicate a reach southwest of
Puddingstone Parkway; the northeast section indicated on the Web Soil Survey does not have
plans submitted. The southwest reach was observe during a site visit and did not appear to need
a full restoration. It is unclear where the proposed project will take place, please clarify location
and submit photos for assistance. Please submit a set of plans that accurately depicts the
restoration work that needs to be performed.
2. Trout Buffer Variance/Shrub and Tree Planting: The stream reach where restoration is
proposed is classified C Trout. A Trout Buffer Variance will need to be obtained through the
Division of Land resources. Also absent was a planting schedule for shrub and tree layers to

not improve fish habitat which is stated in the application as a goal of the project.
The downstream section that had been previously restored has a non compliant buffer, the shrub
and tree layer is lacking and the width is questionable. That restoration project was permitted
with conditions specifically stating shrub and tree density necessary for a proper trout buffer.
That site needs to be replanted in order to be compliant with the permit issued. Please submit
plans to address how this noncompliance will be remedied.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to October 19, 2009 or 30 days from
receipt. Four copies of the required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:

Permit Number WQCS00170
Swain County
Dear Mr. Callicutt:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215(a)(1) and permit number WQCS00170
prohibit the illegal discharge of wastewater to the State's surface water. On September
9, 2009 the Town of Bryson City experienced a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO), which
was apparently the result of the breakers tripping at the wastewater treatment plant
main pump station. Additionally, the emergency notification telemetry system, as well
as the pumping circuits, also malfunctioned due the severe thunderstorm, which caused
the breakers to trip.
It was on or about noon of the next day, before the loss of the pump station was
discovered. During this time lag, approximately 300,000 gallons of untreated sewage to
was discharged into the Tuckaseigee River.

Dear Mr. Lehning:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from
the inspection conducted on August 27, 2009. The facility appeared to be in compliance
with permit NC0042358. The kind assistance of Mr. Larry Townsend during the
inspection was greatly appreciated. He is doing a good job of operating this facility.
There are a couple of items which need attention: for the safety of the operator in
his daily operations, the flowmeter needs to be repositioned and steps, along with a
handrail, should be installed from the road to the wastewater treatment plant.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500, Ext.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Larry Townsend/ORC and Keith Haynes of this office assisted in the inspection of this facility.
The permit will expire September 30, 2012.
The last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted 8/30/2007 by Wanda Frazier.
A current full copy of the permit should be maintained on site.
There is a slick, red clay path leading about 20 feet up the hill from the road to the wastewater treatment
plant. It is very difficult to traverse when wet, especially when carrying equipment for daily process control,
sampling and etc. Steps should be installed along with a handrail for the operator to more easily and safely
access the plant.
The flowmeter has been installed backwards and the operator has to hang over the basin to open and read
the meter. This makes it difficult for the operator to read the daily flow, a requirement of the NPDES permit.
This flowmeter must be repositioned for the safety of the operator.
The flowmeter was calibrated 8/18109.
The effluent was clear.

Mr. Anthony Starr, Planning Director
Henderson County Planning Department

Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792
Subject: Asheville Regional Office Recommendation
For applying for and receiving an NPDES Permit
Dear Mr. Starr:
Based on review of the Division of Water Quality(DWQ)data base a permit application for Seven Falls, LLC,
has not been received for a NPDES discharge permit or a wastewater collection system permit. Application for these
permits must be made and the permit issued prior to beginning construction of either of this type system. The Asheville
Regional Office is recommends review of the following web site for detailed information:
'-,http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.htm1.
You should also be aware that to apply for a new NPDES permit for a proposed facility, an application package
including the following requirements should be submitted to the NPDES unit in Raleigh: Appropriate Application Form,
Appropriate fee, and Evaluation of Alternatives(EAA). After obtaining an NPDES permit for a new discharge an
Authorization to Construct(ATC) permit must also be obtained, minimum time line for issuance 90 days. ATC permits

Looked at entire project. Most work is taking place at the northern and southern ends of the
project. Some other minor fill and grading work is taking place along the rest of the project.
Roadway shoulders are being worked and permanently seeded.
We continue to have concerns about the southern part of the project. Steep slopes and
sediment could pose a problem if not properly controlled. This area should be watched
carefully and additional sediment and erosion measures may be required.
The boulders that have tumbled into Puncheon Camp Creek below the large fill area have

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ 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, 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 permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(WS-I,WS-II,ORW, HQW,Tr-pick applicable)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. Coir fiber matting shall be used in
conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils involving steep slopes in riparian areas, and should be secured
in place with staples and wherever possible include installation of live stakes of native trees.
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top
of stream bank.

5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and
wetlands 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
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 the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
10. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW)or Water Supply I or II(WS-1, WS-11), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to
discharging directly:into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
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. 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. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.

Mr. Michael Pettyjohn,PE
September 22,2009

21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
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. 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 NCDOT Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
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 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 NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
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, 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,

Additional comments:
Reviewed project with DOT staff and Wright Brothers. Heavy construction and pipe installation had just
started. Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly. Seeding and/or matting should
be performed as areas are graded.
Maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State surface
waters.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ 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, 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 permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(WS-I,WS-II, ORW,HQW,Tr-pick applicable)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. Coir fiber matting shall be used in
conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils involving steep slopes in riparian areas,and should be secured
in place with staples and wherever possible include installation of live stakes of native trees.
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top
of stream bank.

.ael Pettyjohn,PE
Aber 22,2009

5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and
wetlands 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
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 the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
10. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters (HQW)or Water Supply I or II(WS-1, WS-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.
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. 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. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
0. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.

Mr. Michael Pettyjohn,PE

21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
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. 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 NCDOT Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
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 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 NCDWQ 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,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
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,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.

Dear Mr. Patel:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Inspection Report from the inspection conducted September 10,
2009. 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 NCO040291 for the following:
Part 11. C.2 of the The aeration basin, diffusers, airlines and the plant in general are
in need of extensive maintenance and/or replacement. The metal has
NPDES Permit rusted through on both sides of the aeration basin. Pipes and interior
(Operation & walls are also showing signs of heavy rusting and sloughing off of
Maintenance) metal and paint.
Upon arrival at the facility there was a definite odor of sewage and
the color in the aeration basin was very dark, indicating lack of
oxygen.
The ORC was in the process of unclogging one of the diffusers
during the inspection. It was also noted that one of the airlines had

Part II. C.2 Metal walkways over the basins need to be sanded and repainted.
Part II. C.2 Soil has been badly eroded around the sides of the clarifier and
should be repaired before it gets worse and compromises the facility
itself.
Part II. C.2 The effluent discharge location has not been located per the ORC
and should be made accessible for inspection.
During the last inspection on December 16, 2008, it was noted that deterioration of the upper
sides of the aeration basin should be addressed with a response in writing with a timetable for
repairs.
James & James Environmental/ORC responded in a letter dated February 3, 2009, that `James &
James will be meeting with Mr. Patel with regard to the need and potential corrective actions that should be
taken with this repair. Once a plan is agreed upon, I will contact you with the timetable agreed upon."
To this date there has been no response with a timetable for repairs or replacement.
The facility is showing severe corrosion and replacement of the facility itself will most likely be
necessary. However, the City of Marion's sewer collection system is now available to the Days Inn.
It is the recommendation of this office that connection to the City of Marion's system is your best
option.
Please refer to the enclosed Inspection Report for any additional observations and comments.
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.

Dear Mr. Hetzel•
In response to your request for information on the potential ownership change of the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit (NC0006254)issued on October 13, 2008 to
Omni Supply inc.,please consider the following information.
A complete Ownership Permit Name/Ownership Change Form(enclosed,and available in the
application section of our website(http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html)must be
completed according to the instruction included with the form. The ownership change form
requires legal documentation of the transfer of ownership(such as relevant pages of a contract
deed, or bill of sale) and is required for both name change and ownership change request.

Dear Mr. Lowman:
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ) has reviewed the most recent information you submitted for the subject
project (received August 12, 2009). The information necessary to complete the review process was not
i'-`,cluded. Therefore, the project application is considered incomplete and inadequate for review by the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ).
Please note: No impacts associated with the subject project are approved at this time.
To pursue the project further, a new Pre-Construction Notification and applicable fee will be required, as well
as the additional information presented below.
Additional Information Required:
1. Ownership/Legally Registered Entity
As stated in the additional information request letter dated July 8, 2009, the applicant/permittee
must be a legally registered entity. There is still much confusion regarding the actual owner of
the property and the registered agent. This issue must be resolved before a certification may be
issued to the appropriate entity (and the appropriate entity and registered agent must be listed
with the Secretary of State).
2. Alternatives to private marina

alternatives have been fully explored. In addition, it is imperative that the Division ensure that
high quality waters (HQW) are protected and maintained, as they are deemed to have water of
higher quality than the existing water quality standards.
3. Concurrence from Jackson County
To ensure that the proposed marina and associated access complies with Jackson County water
supply watershed ordinances, concurrence and documentation from Jackson County should be
provided with the application. To date,this information has not been provided(although the
