Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form).

Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.I(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary September 4,2012 MEMORANDUM TO: Jimmy Goodnight,P.E. NCDOT Roadway Design Unit FROM: Michael R. Parker,NCDWQ, Xe Asheville Regional Office SUBJECT: Review Comments US 23-74 Southbound Rest Area Project No.K-5002 Haywood County In reply to your request,the NCDWQ offers the following comments: Specific Comments: 1. The project is located adjacent to Drift Branch Class C-trout waters of the state. NCDWQ recommends that the most protective sediment and erosion control BMP's be implemented to reduce the risk of turbidity violations in trout waters. In addition, all disturbances within trout buffers shall be conducted in accordance with the NC Division of Land Resources and NC Wildlife Resources Commission. 2. Should NC Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)identify these waters as naturally reproducing trout waters,NCDOT will be required to observe the NCWRC recommended moratoria for trout. 3. Impacts to streams and wetlands may require a 401 Water Quality Certification. General Comments 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.

If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be \ cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and minimizes soil disturbance. 5. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost.

Parts of the WWTP were showing signs of sludge/grease build up and may need to be pumped out. A Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) program should be instituted, if not already, to prevent problems within the collection system and the WWTP. An area of ground on the backside of the plant near the clarifer has been washed out below the tanks and will need to be repaired before it causes structural damage to the facility. �J Page# 2 Permit: NCO039446 Owner-Facility: Linville Resorts WWTP Inspection Date: 08/14/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ n n n Does the facility analyze process control parameters,for ex: MLSS, MCRT,Settleable Solids,pH, DO, Sludge ■ 0 0 n Judge,and other that are applicable?

Operations, including process control, and maintenance activities appear to be very satisfactory. Accordingly, we recommend maintaining the current plan of process investigation and operational modifications as being pursued by the ORC. Operation of the plant as a physical/chemical treatment facility is unique, but it appears the expertise being applied is successfully supporting its proper function. It is understood that implementation of the agreed upon plan of action, including operational changes, maintenance and repair, are significant. However, it appears the beginnings of the payoff from such investment are already being realized. In addition, the data provided by a stable, functioning, compliant plant will assist the Town with making informed, long-term decisions about wastewater treatment, which is a highly-critical component of the Town's infrastructure. No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection.

The facility itself needs sandblasting and repainting to prevent further deterioration and extend the life of the plant. The bar screen is badly deteriorated and should be replaced. This problem was also noted in a previous inspection report. Grease was observed in the EQ basin. "Fats, Oils and Grease" fliers should be developed and delivered to the residents of the park twice a year. A "dry feeder" system for soda ash should be installed to aid in keeping the ammonia down. The road down to the plant is in dire need of being scraped and re-graveled. The ORC has to make a difficult trip down and back every day to operate the plant and the road should be maintained to make the facility more accessible. Children's footprints were observed in the soil next to the facility's fence. The ORC stated there has been vandalism directed at the facility in the past. Even though the plant is secured, it would be advisable to post the area and notify the residents of the park to discourage any more vandalism, trespassing and curiosity. Records and reports were available on site; however, a daily logbook should be kept and maintained at the facility. A new flow meter is in the process of being installed to replace the existing one.
