Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and -�
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative -�
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

,ire a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
.nitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties,Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:

Permit No.WQ0000731
Non-Conjunctive Wastewater Treatment
and Reclaimed Water Utilization System
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Dew,
On September 6, 2013 staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Section
(WQS), inspected the subject Non-Conjunctive Wastewater Treatment Irrigation System. We wish to
thank Mr. Keith Bond and Mr. Kell Bond who were present and assisted during the inspection. The
purpose of the visit was to conduct the annual compliance inspection.
The following items were deficient at the time of the inspection. (Also please refer to the attached
inspection report):
1. The wastewater treatment plant should be painted to prevent rust damage. The eastern most
extended aeration unit,the aerated surge tank and the tertiary filter/chlorine contact tank are
noticeably rusted. This was noted in the 2012 inspection. Keith Bond secured two estimates
for sand blasting/painting the WWTP and this information was given to Lake Toxaway but no
action was taken.
2. The dam on the effluent storage ponds should have a good stand of grass to allow for inspection
of the dam. There is a lot of woody vegetation and there appeared to be a small
eroded/depressed area that should be investigated. This was also noted in the last inspection.
3. An education program should be developed to inform users (including employees) about the
proper use of reclaimed water. (Please see Permit Condition III.16.)

Permit: WQ0000731 Owner-Facility: Lake Toxaway Company
Inspection Date: 09/06/2013 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Flow meter was calibrated 8/15/13.
Activated sludge very light in color. Color is possibly due to removing solids too often; solids were pumped the day before
the inspection. ORC indicated they might cut back on frequency of solids removal.
Static plates are washed usually once per month.
Maintenance Issues:
1.The east side wastewater treatment plant is very rusted. This was noted in last years inspection. Keith Bond secured
two estimates for sand blasting/painting the WWTP and this information was given to Lake Toxaway but no action was
taken.
2.The dam on the two holding ponds still has a significant amount of woody vegetation. It is difficult to inspect the dam in
this condition but it appeared that there were a couple of eroded/depressed areas that should be investigated. This was
also noted in the last inspection.

Dear Mayor Cohen:
On December 1, 2010, the Environmental Management Commission entered into the subject
Special Order by Consent(SOC) whereby the subject WWTP was granted relaxed effluent limitations for
BOD, TSS and Fecal Coliform from those imposed by the NPDES Permit, in exchange for Morganton's
commitment to a schedule of wastewater treatment plant improvements that will return the WWTP to
compliance with the terms of the NPDES Permit. The SOC contains provisions for the assessment of
stipulated penalties when modified limits are exceeded or schedule dates are not met.
A review of Catawba River Pollution Control Facility WWTP's monitoring report for July 2013
showed the following violations:
Parameter Date Interim Limit Reported Value Limit Type
BOD 07/31/2013 60 mg/1 145.86 mg/1 Monthly Average Exceeded

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

MEMORANDUM
TO: Andrea Thomas
THROUGH: Landon Davids
FROM: James Aaron'"
SUBJECT: ARO Fecal Coliform Sampling for 2013
During 2012 the Ambient Monitoring System identified three sites
classified "B" waters in the French Broad River to have elevated fecal
coliform numbers . The French Broad River at E1270000, E4280000 and
E4770000 showed elevated levels during the calendar year of 2012 . In
2013, follow up "5 in 30" sampling was initiated to determine if standard
2B. 0219 (3b) was violated at three sites along the French Broad.
The 2013 sampling on the French Broad River occurred from August 6, 2013
to September 5, 2013 for E1270000, E4280000 and E4770000 . There were no
reports of any SSO' s during these time periods at any site however,
rainfall was not taken into account. Also, western North Carolina has
experienced record rainfall this summer. All samples were analyzed at
the Asheville Regional Office within 6 hours of collection time.
All 3 sites 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.

Dear Mr. Luther:
On September 30, 2013,this office observed wastewater running from your property at 23
Patina Trail and into nearby Ragsdale Creek. A sample taken during the inspection contained
elevated levels of fecal coliform bacteria which indicate that wastewater is present in the
discharge. This letter is to advise you that this type of discharge is a Violation of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1(6).
By this letter,this Office is requiring that you eliminate the discharge of wastewater
immediately. Future discharges of this type without a valid permit will be considered to be a
violation of the aforementioned General Statute and could be subject to the assessment of a
civil penalty.
As authorized by NCGS 143-215.6A, a civil penalty may be assessed for any failure to secure a
permit required by NCGS 143-215.1 or for violation of any classification, standard, limitation or
management practice established pursuant to NCGS 143-214.1 or 143-215. The Environmental
Management Commission is empowered to assess civil penalties of not more than twenty five
thousand dollars ($25,000) per day per violation for as long as the violation continues. Any
future discharges observed by DWR personnel could result in the recommendation for an
enforcement action.

Case No. MV-2013-0011
Mitchell County
Dear Mr. Vines:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of$266.50
($119.00 civil penalty+ $147.50 enforcement costs) against the Town of Bakersville.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report(DMR) submitted by the Town of Bakersville for the month of June 2013. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or
monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0025461. The violations which occurred in
June 2013 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of Bakersville violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO025461 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the
manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms,
conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S.143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G.Landon Davidson, Division of Water Resources
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the Town of Bakersville:

$119.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$147.50 Enforcement Costs
$266.50 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following: `
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In

.pining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
.,sidered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings: '\

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark),will result in this matter being

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 Resources at the address listed below. In

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 Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details

Deadline: November 21,2013
Dear Mr. Sweeny:
The Division of Water Resources conducted a 401 Water Quality Certification compliance inspection on
October 4,2013 at the.subject project listed above. The site was found to be in non-compliance with conditions
2 and 3 of Water Quality Certification No. 3885. Staff inspected two culvert removal locations and a portion of
the road decommissioning area.
• Condition 2—Sediment associated with disturbed soil in the vicinity of the culvert removal locations
was observed in the stream channels. Sediment, apparently generated since the road decommissioning
disturbance activities have taken place,was also observed in certain stream lcoations.
• Condition 3 - Standard erosion and sediment control practices were not observed in areas with soil
disturbance. According to the 401 WQC application submitted for the project, construction practices
were to follow,the guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
To regain compliance with the 401 WQC,the following should be accomplished:
• Prevent further sediment deposition to surface waters through the utilization of appropriate erosion
control measures and best management practices
• Assess surface waters in all culvert removal locations and remove deposited sediment

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The Town of Forest City's Water Treatment Plant is located at 581 Vance Street, Forest City, NC 28043.
Wastewater class: Physical Chemical 1
Wastewater type: 0.09 MGD Surface Water Treatment Plant(Public Water System ID#01-81-010)
Wastewater discharge of backwash wastewater from a conventional water treatment plant consisting of:
Two alum sludge settling ponds, total capacity of 2.0 Mgal, operated in series with a batch
discharge being recycled back through the water plant.
The current system does not discharge. There has been no discharge since May 1996. The ponds
are operated alternately, allowing the sludge to dry between use. Once dried, the sludge is
hauled to the landfill by an independent contractor.
A waiver of monthly reporting and operator visitation requirements was granted based on a
letter of request dated April 17, 2008.
It is suggested that system site visitation be continued, due to the WTP's chemical tank farm
containment area being tied to the alum sludge settling ponds. This would allow a review to be
made regarding system operation and security integrity.
Maintaining the current NPDES permit, allows the Town to have a back-up plan for discharge in
the event the ponds need to be taken out of service for maintenance. f
Inspection Summary:
Mr. Sonny Penson and Mr. Jeff Dodson assisted in the inspection.
There was no discharge at the time of the inspection.

WWTP Flows and Operations:
The WWTP receives wastewater from Arvin Meritor, Inc., an axles manufacturer.
Approximately 1233 gpd are treated and hauled to the Town of Forest City's main WWTP NC0025984.
Sludge is also transported to the main WWTP.
No wastewater was discharged from this facility during the permit cycle 2008-2013.
The Riverstone WWTP was seeded in February 2013 in preparation for the start-up of Horsehead
Metal Products, Inc., in the fall of 2013.
Horsehead Metal Products:
Upon completion of construction, Horsehead will start-up their own wastewater(physical
chemical) discharge for their zinc extraction process industrial wastewater.
On October 28, 2013, Horsehead began the discharge of 300,000 gal of dyed wastewater from tank
leak testing to the Riverstone WWTP.
Only domestic wastewater will be received from Horsehead (WQ0036363 previously pumped & hauled
to Forest City's main WWTP).
Inspection summary:
The WWTP appears to have been properly maintained during the period of no discharge.
The activated sludge appears to be ready for resuming normal operations and discharge.
Mr. Sonny Penson and Mr. Jeff Dodson assisted in the inspection.
The WWTP was NOT discharging at the time of the inspection.
