Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection

NPDES Permit No. NCO035157
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Godfrey:
I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the NPDES system that serves the McDowell
County Adult Care WWTP on June 3, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Jerry
Alexander, ORC McDowell County Adult Care LLC WWTP, was greatly appreciated. Based on
records reviewed, on-site observations of the system and on-site discussions with Mr. Alexander,
the McDowell County Adult Care LLC WWTP NPDES system was determined to be `non-
compliant' with permit N00035157. A report is attached for your records and findings are
summarized regarding issues noted.
Site/System Review
The WWTP system consist of a Septic Tank-Sand Filter WWTP. On-site observations indicate the
sand filter is ponding and there is an accumulation of`cigarette butts' in the septic tank. Both of
these conditions contribute greatly to causing the non-compliance.
Suggestions/Recommendations
The current accumulation of sludge in the septic tank should be evaluated for removal. The level of
sludge accumulation should be measured with a `sludge judge' and removal of the sludge should
occur when the level reaches 1/3 of the total septic tank capacity. On-site indications revealed the
amount of Sludge is getting to the point that the volume should be reduced. Please review the level
of Sludge accumulation and inform the Asheville Regional Office when results are compiled, and
the final removal/disposal option the facility takes regarding this issue. The sand filter revealed
signs of `ponding' on the filter surface, reducing the filters ability to properly function in the manner
in which it should. The filter surface needs to be "MANUALLY" raked and any accumulation of
solids and debris removed.

You should "NEVER" take a garden tiller to the sand filter surface, because it 'cuts' any solids and
debris into the filter media causing filter ponding and poor performance. Please notify the Asheville
Regional Office within 30 days receipt of this letter, regarding corrections made for filter ponding
and septic tank sludge accumulation and removal. Also, septic tank sand filter systems are
designed to be operated at a hydraulic loading of 2 — 5 gallon per day per ft2 of surface area. This
is essentially the flow over the filter. Monitoring reports reviewed indicate `overloading' of the flow
to the system and the filter. Please review your water usage and the loading capabilities. Enclosed
with this report is information regarding Septic Tank Sand Filter operation and maintenance for
your review.
If there are questions or additional information is needed regarding system operation,
maintenance, or a NPDES System permit question, please let me know. Thank you for the
opportunity to conduct this Compliance Evaluation Inspection.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Compliance Evaluation Inspection of this system indicated poor operation of the Septic Tank and Sand
Filter. Septic Tank shows signs of accumulation of'cigarette butts'and poor maintenance. Cigarette butts
should be kept out of system and sludge accumulation in tank monitored and removed when sludge level
reached 1/3 of tanks capacity. Sand Filter revealed signs of ponding with signs of poor operation and
hydraulic loading (sand filter should have hydraulic loading rate of 3 to 5 gpd/sq. ft. of surface). Sand Filter's
need manual raking with removal of any accumulated solids and debris, including algae and weeds.

Comment: 1 st chamber in Septic Tank reveals an accumulation of'cigarette butts'.
This prevents the proper operation of the septic tank(used for anaerobic digestion,
solids settling, and solids storage), and caused downstream processes to malfunction.
Sludge level in tank should be measured with a sludge judge, and when accumulation
reaches one-third of the tank's total depth, then pumping should be done. Other
'upstream' processes, such as'grease traps' need to be properly maintained in order for
the system to function at it's optimum capability. Weekly feeding of Lime and Baking
Soda (Sodium bi-carbonate) , along with keeping cigarette butts out, will allow improved
function of the septic tank.

The inspectors were met onsite by Mr. Ziegler and Debra Sloan of the NCDA. The main purpose for the visit
was to respond to a complaint regarding stream impacts from water withdrawal at Shoal Creek.
The facility was found to be in good order and compliant with the permit.
The farm maintains three water intake structures in three streams: Shoal Creek, Marion Branch and Bart
Branch. All three streams were maintaining water in the channel below the intake structures and appeared
to provide adequate conditions to meet water quality standards. The Shoal creek intake was not bypassing
any water, however, groundwater inputs immediately downstream of the intake structure and throughout the
downstream reach provided low-to-moderate streamflow. At the time of the visit, streamflow was restricted
due to drought conditions. All streams noted in the area presented low-to-moderate flows.

Dear Mayor Cohen:
On December 16, 2010, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject
Special Order by Consent (SOC) whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent
limitations for BOD ,TSS, and Fecal Coliform from those imposed by the NPDES Permit, in
exchange for the City of Morganton's commitment to a schedule of wastewater treatment plant
improvements that will return the WWTP to compliance with the terms of the NPDES Permit.
The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of stipulated penalties when modified limits
are exceeded or schedule dates are not met.
A review of Catawba River Pollution Control Facility's monitoring report for May 2011 showed
the following violations:

Total Permanent Stream Impacts for Project: 10 lin.ft.Total Temporary Stream Impacts for Project: 10 linear ft.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 29, 2011 (received September 1,
2011), 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. 3820, corresponding to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition,you should acquire any other federal,state or local
permits before you proceed with your project including(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,Non-Discharge
and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre,or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h)(6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.

Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road 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 barrow 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. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II(WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pretreating storm
water runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks,adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
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. 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.
8. 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 fo,
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.

9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
17. 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.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
- certification.
9. 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.
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. 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.
22. 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.
23. The permittee and its authorized agents shall,conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
24. 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.
25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
26. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.

Inspection Summary:
Collection System: WQCS00174 (holistic)
The collection system consists of 1355 homes(seasonal population)and serves the village of
Sugar Mountain.
The total linear feet of sewer is-6.76 miles.
There are 1.99 miles of 1.5-6-inch diameter force main; and 4.77 miles of 8-inch diameter
gravity sewer.
The service lines are made of ductile iron (DIP), PVC and Thrust®collar/wall pipe.
On 9-8-2010, - 3100 feet were cleaned during the annual cleaning.
The next scheduled cleaning event is 9-12-2011.
There haven't been any SSOs from the collection system in 4 years.
There are eight lift stations.
#1. Grandfather Center-25 HP (180 gpd)duplex submersible pumps,with dual high water alarms and
(Sensophone Express)telemetry.
#2. Linville Ridge-29 HP duplex submersible pumps,with dual high water alarms and (Sensophone
Express)telemetry.
#3. Blue Ridge Village-15 HP duplex submersible pumps,with dual high water alarms and (Sensophone
Express)telemetry. i
#4. Misty Woods-2 HP duplex submersible pumps, with dual high water alarms and (Sensophone Express)
telemetry.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Elizabeth Kountis
THROUGH: Keith Haynes IVL
FROM: James Aaron -
SUBJECT: ARID Fecal Coliform Sampling for 2011
The Division of Water Quality received a request from the French Broad River keeper to
reclassify the Swannanoa River from Class "C" to Class "B" based on his Fecal Coliform
sampling in from December 2010 to March, 2011. In August & September of 2011,
follow up "5 in 30" sampling was initiated to determine if standard 2B.0219(3b) was
violated at five sites along the Swannanoa.
The 2011 sampling on the Swannanoa River occurred from August 12th to September 9th
2011 for SWN05 at E4170000 located at Biltmore Rd., SWN04 in Azalea Park, and
SWN03 at the River Bend swimming hole near Warren Wilson College, SWN02 at
Whitson Rd. in Swannanoa and SWN01 at Blue Ridge Rd. in Black Mountain. There
were no reports of any SSO's reported during these time periods at any site however
rainfall was not taken into account. All samples were analyzed at the Asheville Regional
Office within 6 hours of collection time.
SWN05 at E4170000, SWN02 at Whitson Rd. in Swannanoa and SWN01 at Blue Ridge
Rd. in Black Mountain violated 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 not to exceed the standard of 400/100 ml in more than 20
percent of the samples examined during such period. Summary tables are provided

Dear Mr. Knopf:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
August 25, 2011 by Linda Wiggs and myself. We appreciated your assistance, as well as David
Cade's and Tony Burns' assistance, during the inspection.
The Vulcan-Hendersonville facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG020176.
In response to your request for Representative Outfall Status (ROS),the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) concurs with Vulcan's request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.2 1(g)(7), you are
authorized to sample the outfalls as described in the following table.
Representative Stormwater SDOs Represented
Discharge Outfall (SDO)
157-003 157-003, 157-004
Please note: the permit still requires Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all SDOs,regardless
of representative status. In addition, any actions you initiate in response to benchmark
exceedances as directed in.the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage
areas represented by the SDO, where appropriate.
DWQ has also determined that, due to the de minimus impact of vehicle maintenance activities,
analytical monitoring required by this activity can be discontinued(currently conducted at Outfall
157-002). However, stormwater analytical monitoring and qualitative monitoring is still required
at this outfall.

Inspection Summary:
Division of Water Quality staff(Susan A.Wilson and Linda Wiggs)met with David Cade(Plant Engineer), Tim Knopf, and
Tony Burns at the Vulcan—Hendersonville Quarry site on August 25, 2011.
A site tour was conducted of the facility,observing the potential stormwater exposure areas, all outfalls, and site
conditions. During the visit, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan manual was reviewed, operational activities, and
existing stormwater exposures were discussed.
Outfall 157-001 receives process and mine dewatering water.
Outfall 157-002 receives mine stormwater and vehicle maintenance runoff(vehicle maintenance runoff is deminimus).
Outfall 157-003 receives overburden stormwater runoff.
Outfall 157-004 is primarily an undisturbed area(although some is disturbed).
Vulcan has requested representative outfall status(ROS)for outfall 157-004.
Secondary containment surrounds all existing storage tanks, which are concentrated in the garage area where vehicle
maintenance activities are conducted (all vehicle maintenance activities are conducted within the garage—no work in
exposed areas); any runoff from the garage area ultimately goes to Outfall 157-002(but little to none would be expected
to get to receiving waters). However, refueling, etc. is conducted outside. An oil/water separator is near the refueling
area,which ultimately discharges and conveys to the old pit, then to Outfall 157-001. There is minimal chance of
conveyance of petroleum product to surface waters from this area. DWQ will eliminate analytical monitoring due to
vehicle maintenance activities.
The ultimate outfall locations for 001, 002, and 003 were observed. DWQ attempted to go off-site to observe the ultimate
outfall location for 004, but could not locate an appropriate observation point.
Since 004 is primarily undisturbed and bermed, DWQ concurs with Vulcan's request for ROS (-003 will represent-004).
No outfalls were discharging at the time of the inspection (and appeared that they did not discharge frequently).

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Facility information:
The wastewater facility consists of:
700 gallons per day permitted flow;
1500 gallon septic tank;
1.5-inch PVC force main;
0.25 HP Hydromatic submersible pump station with dual alarms;
adjustable cap distribution box;
9 ft x 90 ft(810 sq ft) primary subsurface sand filter;
9 ft x 45 ft(405 sq ft) secondary subsurface sand filter;
30 mil polyethylene liner;
tablet chlorinator;
chlorine contact chamber;
rip rap cascade aerator; and
discharge to Ashworth Creek-class C-in the French Broad River Basin
The Authorization to Construct was issued 11-22-2002.
Christopher Eller, P.E.,with Civil Design Concepts, PA, signed and sealed the Engineer's
Certification on 1-3-2003.
Design Flow Calculations:
This system was originally permitted for 700 gallons per day(GPD) based on historical water
consumption records and monthly average flow for:
Total design flow calculations: 855 gpd (by Civil Design Concepts,PA)
Two-bedroom apartment-240 gpd
Two-bedroom apartment-240 gpd
Convenience store,without food preparation-250 gpd/plumbing fixture
with 5 employees- 125 gpd
The wastewater design flow rates for the current facilities are:
Two-bedroom apartment-240 gpd
Two-bedroom apartment-240 gpd
Office- massage business-250 gpd/plumbing fixture
Office-sign business-250 gpd/plumbing fixture
Convenience store, without food preparation -250 gpd/plumbing fixture
Total flow: 1230 gpd
(Reference: 15A NCAC 02T .0114 WASTEWATER DESIGN FLOW RATES)
The permittee is inquiring whether there is sufficient flow allocation to add another office for
Page# 2

Permit: NCG551222 Owner-Facility: 1612 Charlotte Highway
Inspection Date: 08/05/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
a car shop.
Office- car shop-250 gpd
General business and office facilities-25 gal/employee/shift---
with 3 employees(one shift)- 75 gpd
The total flow would be 1555 gpd if another office was added for the car shop.
This facility is currently permitted for 700 gallons per day. There is insufficient flow
allocation to allow the addition of another office.
Single Family Residence permits are only for flows of 1000 gpd or less. Therefore flows above
1000 gpd could NOT be permitted as a SFR facility. An individual permit could possibly be
issued for this, however,weekly ORC visits and increased monitoring would be required.
Inspection Summary:
The septic tank was last pumped in June 2011 and is pumped annually.
The chlorine contact chamber was recently pumped.
The two chlorine tablet dispensers were recently cleaned out(the tablets had gelled).
The old chlorine tablets had fallen apart(from moisture and age) and were discarded. New
tablets were recently purchased and are now in use.
The pump station float control alarm was replaced — 1 year ago and is in good working order.
The effluent and receiving stream were clear. The stream did not indicate impacts from the
discharge.

Town of Spindale WWTP
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. McHargue:
On August 30, 2011, staff of the Asheville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality,
Surface Water Protection unit made an 'un-announced' Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of the Wastewater Facility that serves the Town of Spindale in Rutherford
County, NPDES permit NC0020664. An inspection report is attached for your records.
Observations made at the time of the inspection and data reviewed for the time period
covering October 2010 through June 2011 indicate the facility is `non-compliant' with
the NPDES permit, and average Total Suspended Solids limits for the months of
January 2011, February 2011, and June 2011. The specific portion of the permit is:
'Part II, Section C, #2, Proper Operation and Maintenance.' This section states `The
Permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance resources necessary
to operate the existing facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times
properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control(and
related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to achieve
compliance with the conditions of this permit...'
At the time of the inspection, it was observed that 2 of the 8 fixed aerators had the
'impellers' deteriorated to the point where they had fallen off. The slide gates located in
the secondary clarifier flow distribution box, that controls flow from the aeration basin to
the secondary clarifiers, were removed and bent/distorted to the point they could not be
used to regulate the flow to the clarifiers, therefore they were inoperable. Vegetation in
and around the aeration basin had accumulated to the point it was becoming a vector
attraction and creating nuisance conditions, and should be removed and controlled.

Inspection Date: 09/15/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by Steve Davis. A tour was conducted of the exterior of the facility, observing the stormwater
conveyances and outfalls and site conditions. During the visit, the SPPP manual was reviewed, operational activities and
existing stormwater exposures were discussed. Permit requirements were also reviewed as pertaining to the most recent
permit version, effective August 1, 2009. At the time of the inspection the site was found to be in compliance with the
permit. The inspector noted that the facility appeared to maintain good housekeeping practices and records were found
to be in good order.
During the inspection, it was determined that only one (1) stormwater discharge outfall currently existed on the site. This
outfall discharged stormwater from the loading dock area at the west face of the main building to the stream located in the
southwest quadrant of the property.
Located in the loading dock area are pallets and other storage components.Those materials can provide exposure of
pollutants to stormwater, thereby requiring stormwater monitoring requirements. If the subject materials were sheltered
from stormwater or moved to a location along the south side of the plant,where stormwater does not discharge to surface
waters, a No Exposure Certification might be appropriate for the facility.
An environmental interest of the Division is the stream located within the southwest quadrant of the property.The
segment of stream flowing along the entrance road nearest the loading dock would benefit from additional riparian buffer
vegetation. Currently, the stream exhibits a buffer of primarily grass. Other woody and herbaceous plants would provide
increased streambank stability, shading and aquatic and upland animal habitat. Mowing and other vegetation
maintenance activities should not be carried out to the water's edge.A 20-to 30-foot buffer of the proper vegetation would
not only help improve water quality, but could also provide an aesthetically pleasing natural area for employees that could
be enjoyed as part of a walking trail. Plant selection and/or planning assistance could be provided by Asheville office
staff.

Inspection Date: 09/15/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
DWQ staff was met on site by Greg Davis. A tour was conducted of the facility, including an extensive investigation of
possible stormwater discharge outfalls, observing the stormwater conveyances and site conditions. During the visit, the
SPPP manual was reviewed, operational activities and existing stormwater exposures were discussed. At the time of the
inspection the site was found to be in compliance with the permit. The inspector noted that the facility appeared to
maintain good housekeeping practices and records were found to be in good order.
During the site visit, no stormwater discharge outfalls were identified. Stormwater retention occurs in two large basins. No
indication was found of stormwater discharging from the basins at any time. Mr. Davis indicated that the original design
intended to retain all stormwater onsite, preventing any discharge to surface waters, except in 50-year storm events.
The absence of stormwater discharge outfalls excludes the site from NPDES stormwater permitting requirements.
Rescission of permit NCG160180 would be appropriate, if desired by the permittee.

Inspection Summary:
All of the items in DWQ previous inspection(April 2010)and DLR previous inspection(Ocotber 2010) have been
addressed. The facility is much improved.
Facility consultant reported a sediment blowout in June 2011 due to heavy rain event. Impacts to UT have been abated
moderately, and should be left to heal naturally. Maintenance will always be very important for this facility given the rainfall
in this area.
Improper matting was used during 401 stream restoration however it is not worth removing the matting at this point. The
facility can cut away exposed pieces of plastic matting when it gets the chance to improve restoration habitat.The 2008
401 approval did not dictate natural matting.

stormwater/erosion control measures were in good working order and maintained.
Explained to Buddy and Shane the importance of staying on top of maintenance and
visually evaluating water that leaves the site. Brushy Creek flows to the Toe River
which has turbidity issues. Everyone in these watersheds needs to be diligent in
maintaining measure to optimum efficiency.

Comment: The facility was managing records keeping and stormwater measures
properly at time of inspection. Both record keeping and maintenance are an ongoing
requirement that facility will need to stay on top of.
401 mitigation work was observed. DWM considered the facility in good working order
at last inspection. DLR corrective actions had taken place.
Other Water Quality Issues Yes No NA NE
Is the site free of any other Water Quality issues as noted during the inspection? ■ ❑ ❑ Cl
Comment: Facility had a blow out in June. Several inches of rain fell in an hour.
Sediment was lost to stream/mitigation area. Facility consultant reported incident and
initiated remedial actions. Regarding the UT it is best to not perform anymore sediment
removal, but to let the stream heal naturally. Facility is in a watershed that receives alot
of rain; maintenance of measures and groundcover is crucial for basins to work as
designed.

Inspection Date: 09/20/2011 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine \
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson (ARO/DWQ) and Tim Fox(Henderson Co. Erosion Control)conducted an inspection at Western Carolina
Regional Animal Hospital.
As noted in the inspection-the swales likely are not draining the parking lot in an optimal manner. It appears that the
drainage swale to the left of the building was eroding and now has rip-rap around it(with some short-circuiting occurring).
The swale to the right of the building has slopes that are likely too steep and will erode significantly over time and should
be addressed (and it is not draining the parking lot adequately).
The Engineer's Certification for the project is not on file in this office(and no record appears in our central database).
No adverse impacts to surface waters are expected, but the problems should be addressed.

Dear Sirs:
On September 20, 2011, Susan A. Wilson, from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ), and Tim Fox, Henderson County Erosion Control, conducted a site
inspection for the stormwater controls at the Hendersonville Distribution Facility at Blue Rock,
located at 129 Reeds Way in Henderson County,NC.
The facility has two bioretention cells which serve as post-construction stormwater BMPs. Good
vegetation was present in each cell and no erosive problems were noted at the inlets or outlets. No
adverse impacts to surface waters were noted from the BMPs. The inspection report is attached for
your review.
A copy of an operation and maintenance agreement for Bioretention BMPs is also attached for
your review. DWQ reminds you that the stormwater controls (both BMPs) are to be inspected, at
minimum, once a month and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inch.
Records for inspection and maintenance should be kept in a known/set location and must be
available upon request.

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson (DWQ/ARO)and Tim Fox(Henderson Co. Erosion Control) conducted an inspection at the newly built site
on September 20, 2011. The 2 bioretention cells(BNMPs) had good vegetation and appeared to be working properly.
Visually, it appears that the parking lot may divert most of the stormwater runoff to BMP#2 (southwest corner). This
should be observed in the future to ensure that BMP#2 is not eroding and is properly treating the stormwater.
The ownership of the permit appears to have been changed and needs to be modified. Also-the 0&M Agreement needs
to be updated if Matt Wilson (Butler Development Group) is no longer responsible.
The owner may wish to consider removing some of the invasive vegetation.

Dear Mr. Duvall:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
September 22, 2011 by Kevin Barnett and myself of the Asheville Regional Office, Surface Water
Protection Section, the Division of Water Quality. We appreciated the assistance of Mr. Donnie
Orr during the inspection.
A review of the site, and inspection of any potential conveyances to surface waters, indicated no
direct pathways for stormwater runoff. We recommend that Graham County continue good
housekeeping practices and conduct as many activities under cover as is feasible.
By this letter, this office is notifying the Stormwater Permitting Unit that an NPDES stormwater
permit is no longer necessary for the Graham County Recycling Facility. Please contact Brian
Lowther, Environmental Engineer, Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone] to determine if
Graham County needs to submit fitrther information to rescind the permit.
Should the Iocation of the facility change, or should practices substantially change, please notify
this office.
