SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Mars Hill
Wastewter Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00201
Madison County
Dear Mr. Boone:
Attached is the report resulting from the wastewater collection system Compliance
Evaluation Inspection which I conducted at the Town of Mars Hill on September 30, 2008.
It was my determination that the Town of Mars Hill is doing a good job of maintaining and
operating its wastewater collection system.
I am pleased that the Town is engaged in the computer mapping of its collection
system. As McGill Associates moves this project forward please insure that they address
all mapping requirements as contained in the Town's collection system permit.
It would put the Town in a better position to clean sewers if the Town Council could
find a place in the Town budget for a sewer jetter. A jetter is the next logical piece of
equipment for the Town to acquire for purposes of sewer maintenance.
Now that Public Works is fully staffed perhaps a little more attention could be given
to sewer right-of-way mowing. It is probably time to replace the present pump station
emergency notification signs with metal signs.

Inspection Summary:
The Town of Mars Hill is doing a good job of operating its wastewater collection system.
Assisted by a$50,000 grant McGill Associates is preparing an electronic map of the collection system.
The Town could do a little more in terms of right-of-way maintenance.
I would hope that the Town Council could find a place in the budget for funds to purchase a jetter.
Metal signs would be a better and more permanent way to encourage emergency notification.

Dear Mr. Haight:
On September 11, 2008, Linda Wiggs from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection for Mountain High along Loki Lane in Cherokee
County. No site representatives were present.
Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000, and stream standards violations were noted during
the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to Unnamed Tributary to North Potato Creek,
Classification C were documented constituting permit, and standard violations. Greater than 1,000
feet of stream was impacted with sediment impacts from your property as a result of lacking or
failed erosion control measures. Division of Land Resources has not issued an Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Plan for the land disturbance off Loki Lane. It is required that you contact
the Division of Land Resources. This contact is necessary to ensure that you are in compliance
with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below, were

Inspection Summary:
The inspector was met on site by Mr. Will Womack of the Settings and Mr. Doug Sharp of Buncombe County Planning
and Development. At the time of the inspection the site was found to be in compliance with their NCG01 permit. Mr.
Womack assisted the inspector with the document review and facility inspection, providing ample assistance and
information. Mr. Sharp accompanied the inspector and Mr.Womack during the site visit.
Discussion was held regarding the last large storm event that occurred, which impacted the road in the Phase 3 section of
the development. The rainfall amounts far-exceeded the 10-year design storm under which the project was permitted.
During that rain event, Settings personnel established additional temporary measures to prevent significant sediment loss
to surface waters and appeared to have been effective.
According to Mr.Womack, an updated E&SC plan is being developed for Phase 3 to improve performance of the
measures during storm events.

Item I. Removal of Best Usage (excavation and fill)
The excavation of approximately 900 linear feet and adjacent fill of approximately
22,500 square feet of the East Fork Pigeon River (WS-III, Trout) represents violations of
15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2). The waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and
maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture;
sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or
long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard.
Item II. Failure to Secure a 401 WQC
The filling of approximately 22,500 square feet of the East Fork Pigeon River (WS-III,
Trout) represents violations of 15A NCAC 2H .0500. DWQ site visits and file review
confirmed that impacts occurred without a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. A file review indicates that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has not
authorized use of a 404 Permit for this activity, even though notification has been
provided to the COE for this activity. The file review confirmed that a Pre-construction
Notification has not been received by the Division of Water Quality for this project and
that a 401 Water Quality Certification has not been issued. A Pre-Construction
Notification submitted to DWQ is required prior to the above-mentioned impacts
pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
Requested Response
This Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 15 days of receipt of
this Notice. Your response should be sent to both this office at the letterhead address and
to the attention of Mr. John Hennessy at the Wetlands and Stormwater Branch, NPS
Assistance and Compliance Oversight Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699-1617. Your response should address the following items:
Removal of Use
1. Please explain why these impacts occurred without prior authorization.
2. Please provide documentation (including a detailed site map/survey) depicting all
jurisdictional wafer features (e.g. streams, wetlands, buffers) on the site. This
documentation should describe and quantify the impacts to those jurisdictional
features, and should include plans to avoid further stream and wetland impacts on the
site.
3. Please submit the following documents for review and approval:
a. Stream Restoration Plan (excavation and fill) — Please explain how you plan
to restore the pattern, profile and dimension of the impacted stream channels.
The streambed must be restored to the original profile, the stream banks must
be stabilized, and any fill material must be removed from the riparian zone.
Replanting of the riparian zone will be required.

,rood County
b. Permit Application-If you wish for any impacts to remain in place, you must
contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for information on the
type(s) of permit required. Depending on the type of permits USACOE
requires, application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to DWQ will also
be required. Please note that sediment impacts to streams are not permittable.
c. Please indicate in your response a detailed schedule with dates explaining
when the restoration will be accomplished, and if you plan to seek a permit for
the permittable impacts, when an application will be submitted.
4. Please clearly explain why appropriate 401 Water Quality Certification and a 404
Permit were not secured.
5. Finally, please explain how you propose to prevent these problems from reoccurring
on future projects.
You are encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with your plan
development, permit, certification and authorization necessary to achieve
compliance.
It is required that you contact the Division of Land Resources, The Haywood County
Erosion Control Office, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These contacts are
necessary to ensure that your restoration efforts are in compliance with the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a
recommendation for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Quality
regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be encountered.
Your above-mentioned response to this correspondence will be considered in this
process. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated
immediately. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Should you have
any questions regarding these matters,please contact Kevin Barnett at(828) 296-4500.

Dear Mr. Sherrill:
Attached you will find the report resulting from my October 1, 2008 Compliance
Evaluation Inspection of the Cummings Cove wastewater collection system. I very much
-- appreciate you time on that date.
Please send me a copy of the system operational plan when completed as well as
the updated system map. Likewise, would you ask Harry James to send me a copy of a
typical page from the Cummings Cove pump station inspection log
After leaving your office I noticed that I was passing by one of Cumming Cove's
pump station. I took a look at that station and noticed that the wet well cover lid was not
secured by a lock. I strongly suggest that all pump station wet well cover lids be locked to
reduce potential of an accident. I also suggest that an emergency notification sign be
posted on each pump station identifying the station and giving a phone number to call in
event of an emergency.
I look forward to receiving the above requested documents. Should you have need
to discuss matters relating to the Company's wastewater collection system please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Roy M. avis

Inspection Date: 10/01/2008 Inspection Type:Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Cummings Cove is deemed permitted.The System includes 7 pump stations all with telemetry.Weekly inspections are
logged.The Company's system map needs updating (construction drawings are available), no operation and maintenance
plan, it is not now known if the system includes high priority lines. Given that the system serves a golf course community,
it is probably seen more often than yearly.At least one pump station cover lid was not secured with a lock and did not
display an emergency notification sign.

IV. Failure to Secure Stormwater General Permit NCGO10000 -A Sedimentation and
Erosion Control plan approval has not been applied for or secured for the land disturbing
activity; therefore, coverage under the NPDES General Permit to discharge stormwater
from land disturbing activities has not been secured in accordance with the provision of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. This General Permit is applicable to point
source discharges from construction activities disturbing one or more acres of land. The
submission of a proposed Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan to the Division of Land
Resources or delegated local program shall be considered to take the place of a Notice of
Intent for coverage under this General Permit for those projects requiring this Permit
coverage. Coverage under this General Permit shall become effective upon issuance of an
approval for the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section of
the Division of Land Resources or delegated local program. Prior to the commencement of
construction and land disturbing activities approval of the Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan shall be obtained.

Dear Mr. Holloman:
Attached is the,report resulting from the Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation
Inspection which I conducted on October 15, 2008. It was my determination that the Town of
Columbus is doing an excellent job of maintaining and operating the Town's wastewater
collection system.
Please convey my appreciation to the staff actually taking care of the system and the Columbus
Town Council for providing the necessary resources. I noticed that the Town does not have a
closed circuit television camera for inspection of the interior of sewers. Such a piece of
equipment can save much time and money by preventing unnecessary digging up of sewers and
is the logical next purchase for your Public Works Department. I would hope that the Town
Council can make space in the budget for such a camera. Please do not hesitate to call me at
828-296-4659 should you need to discuss any aspect of this report.

Comment: The present pump station went into operation in about August of 2008 and
replaced an earlier can type station which had been in service since the late 60s. This
station serves part of the industrial park and at present receives very little flow. The
station was nicely designed and built and is being well operated. '

During the inspection it was observed that there is no influent composite sampler. The permit requires daily
influent composite sampling:When questioned about this the operator stated that they derive the influent
sampling by grab. When reviewing this facility's DMRs the influent sampling is listed as being a composite.
This facility is required to conduct composite sampling of both the influent and effluent to provide proper
documentation of the plants treatment capabilities.

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 22, 2008 (received August 28,
2008), including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3689, 3699 and 3704,
corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 13, 12 and 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. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP's) shall be constructed as shown on the design plans in your
application dated August 22, 2008 (received August 28, 2008).
2. NCDOT shall implement Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 413.0124 (a)-(e)] for the portions of
the construction corridor draining to Bat Fork Creek.
3. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, 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.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site until all disturbed soils
are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting should be
secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used in
riparian areas.
5. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet, or other similar
annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control matting should be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soil in steep slope and riparian areas. Steep slopes are defined as those slopes
graded at an angle which cannot retain vegetative cover. Matting shall be shall be secured in place with staples or
whenever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the riparian areas.
6. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater,shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Stormwater
shall be managed in accordance with your State Stormwater Permit issued by the Division of Water Quality.
7. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
8. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.9. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT s Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.

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. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
11. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,that 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.
12. Stream realignment shall be performed in accordance with the plans submitted with the 401 Certification application.
13. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new culvert and old bridge, shall not be
modified. Disturbed floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
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.
. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
20. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
22. 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.
23. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
24. 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.
25. 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.
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 and Federal law. If DWQ 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, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
27. 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.
28. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.

Dear Mr. Ledford:
The Division of Water Quality has performed a surface water determination on the property
identified as PIN number 965905290649 located along Camp Allis Road in Chunns Cove.
The City of Asheville's Geographic Information System indicates 2 water features located
within this property. The following is provided for your information:
• The feature which traverses the property from south to north (downstream to
upstream) is intermittent in nature and is a jurisdictional water under the State's
rules.
• The feature which branches off the main channel to the right (as viewed from down
stream) is ephemeral in nature and is not a jurisdictional water under the State's
purview.
I hope this helps in your determinations on the subject property. Should you have any
questions in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Kevin Barnett at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mr. Konsul:
Attached is the report resulting from the Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation
Inspection that I conducted on October 17, 2008. Edwin McFalls is doing a good job of
maintaining and operating the Fairfield Sapphire collection system.
Following are observations resulting from my inspection and needed corrective action:
(1) The collection system map needs to be modified to include recently constructed sewers
and all pump station capacities. Before you invest money in modifying paper maps you
might consider whether or not this is the time to go to GIS mapping.
(2) Our computer records do not indicate that Utilities, Inc. has designated a Collection
System ORC or a Back Up CSORC at Fairfield Sapphire. Please submit the attached
Designation Form to the address indicated.
(3) As I understand the process, Utilities, Inc. approaches collection system Capital
Expenditures by asking managers to submit request for money for capital projects. Some
are approved, some are not. In addition to not meeting collection system permit
requirements relating to the preparation of a CIP, such an approach to managing capital
expenditures lack the sophistication befitting a company owning collection systems having
an enormous total dollar value and spending a great deal each year to maintain those
systems. Collection system permits require the presence of Collection System CIPs
spanning a three to five year period and including a description of the system, description
of the service area, discussion of known deficiencies, and forecasted future needs.
Beyond being required by the permit, I believe all the required information would be helpful

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated October 15, 2008 (received October 17,
2008), including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3704, corresponding to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or
local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock
and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If.the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be
located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road
construction activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible following ground
disturbing activities. Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils
in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of
native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
4. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic the natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream shall
be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity
causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
5. In-stream work and land.disturbance with the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of January I through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off site sedimentation during
construction of the roadway..
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
7. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
8. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
9. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
10. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.

J.E.
J08
�. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification
15. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
16. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
17. 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.
18. 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,eta
19. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
20. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of

_Dear Mr. Cline:
On December 6, 2006, 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
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's (TWSA) 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 the facility's monitorin report for April 2008 showed.the followed violations:

If you have not already done so, you are directed to immediately take whatever remedial
actions are necessary to correct the problems that have led to this violation. Section 3 of the SOC
stipulates that a penalty in the amount of$1000/violation shall be paid for noncompliance with any
modified limit contained in the SOC. However, Section 4 of the SOC lists circumstances under which
stipulated penalties are not due, essentially stating this provision is applicable when the Division of
Water Quality can be satisfied the non-compliance was caused by events or circumstances beyond
the control of TWSA.
If you have information that will prove to the Division that any or all of the criteria set forth in
Section 4 have been met, you must submit this information, in writing, to the Asheville Regional Office
within ten (10) days after your receipt of this notice. In the absence of evidence justifying the
application of the provision within Section 4, this Office will proceed with assessment of stipulated
penalties as provided for in the SOC.

Dear Mr. Wiggins: '
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below,
to place fill within or otherwise impact 100 linear feet of shoreline for the purpose of
stabilization at the subject property, as described within your application received by the
N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 8, 2008. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s) allows you to use Permit(s)
GP30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should
obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control,
Non-discharge, and buffer regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.

Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 83 linear feet. Total Temporary Stream Impacts: 43 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 29, 2008 (received September 10,
2008) and additional information dated and received October 28,2008, including the environmental commitments made
in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General
Water Quality Certification Nos. 3689 and 3688, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit
Numbers 13 and 33. 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. Adequate sediment and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site until all
disturbed soils are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following disturbance.
Erosion control mating shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed stream banks. Matting
should be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue shall not be used
in riparian areas.
3. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted area shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the. NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout jr), High
Quality Waters (HQW) or Water Supply I or II (WS-I, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer
areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff
prior to discharging directly into streams. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management
Practices. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, that 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. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the streams. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Stormwater
shall be managed in accordance with your State Stormwater Permit issued by the Division of Water Quality.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the new bridge, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited.
16. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
17. 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.
18. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.

19. 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.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Carolina Water Service Inc. of,NC

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

$250.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$65.00 Enforcement Costs
$315.00 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 Quality
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 Quality 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 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). 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 Quality 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 Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR

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
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION and
INTENT TO ENFORCE
NOV-2008-PC-0754
Town of Hot Springs
Permit Number WQCSDO086
Wastewater Collection System
Madison County
Dear Mr. Norton:
North Carolina General Statute 143-215(a)(2) prohibits the construction of any
sewage treatment works without first securing a permit from the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission. North Carolina General Statute 143-
215(a)(1) prohibits the making of an outlet into the waters of the State without first
securing a permit from the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
On October 22, 2008 Roy Davis with the Asheville Regional Office conducted a
Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Town of Hot Spring's wastewater collection
system. During that inspection he observed the construction of two sewage pumping
stations. A subsequent review of our files indicates that no permit pursuant to North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(2) has been issued.
On the same day Roy Davis observed the discharge of untreated sewage from a
wet well overflow pipe at the Town's Red Bridge sewage pumping station. The overflow
pipe was first observed on January 19, 2007. On January 25, 2007 it was reported to
us that the pipe had been sealed. Obviously the seal was not completely successful
Construction of the two sewage pumping stations without a permit and allowing
the discharge of sewage to the surface waters of the State places the Town of Hot
Springs in violation of the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1

North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 provides for civil penalties of up to
$25,000 for construction of a sewer system or discharging sewage without a permit.
The same statute empowers a State agency to go into Superior court seeking a court
order prohibiting an activity which is in violation of the Statutes. The Town of Hot
Springs is to immediately take steps to effectively and permanently seal the Red
Bridge pump station wet well overflow pipe.
The Asheville Regional Office is considering the assessment of Civil Penalties
against the Town of Hot Springs for the construction of a treatment works without a
permit and the discharge of wastewater without a permit. If there are extenuating
circumstances regarding these violations which you wish us to consider, please make
those known to us in writing. To be considered your response must be received in this
office within fifteen days from date of receipt of this Notice.
I encourage you to call Roy Davis at [phone] should you need to discuss
this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ramsey:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below,
to place fill within or otherwise impact 100 linear feet of shoreline for the purpose of
stabilization at the subject property, as described within your application received by the
- N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on October 10, 2008. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s) allows you to use Permit(s)
GP30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). In addition, you should
obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control,
Non-discharge, and buffer regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any

Marion, North Carolina 28752
Subject: Inadequate Sewer System
2041 U.S. Highway 70 East
Larry Miller Property
McDowell County
Dear Mr. Miller:
It has come to our attention that your apartment building located at 2041 U.S.
Highway 70 East is served by a septic-tank, subsurface-sand filter sewage'treatment
system designed to discharge to the State's surface waters and was possibly permitted
by the McDowell County Health Department many years ago. Now North Carolina
General Statute 143-215(a)(1) prohibits the making of an outlet into the waters of the
State without first securing a permit from the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission. You do not hold a permit from the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission for this wastewater discharge.
On October I sampled the stream behind your apartment building to which
sewage from your apartment is discharged. The samples were analyzed for fecal
coliform. Fecal result for the upstream sample (above your apartment) was180
colonies per 100 ml and the downstream fecal result (below your apartment) was 1,200
colonies per 100 ml. This increase in stream fecal coliform confirms that the sewage
from your apartment building is being discharged to the State's surface waters. The
same laboratory results indicate that your wastewater treatment system is not providing
adequate treatment of the sewage coming from your apartment building.

Allowing the discharge of sewage to the surface waters of the State without a
permit places you in violation of the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1(a)(1). North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 provides for civil penalties
of up to $25,000 for discharging sewage without a permit. The same statute empowers
a State aq�ncy to go into Superior court seeking a c�►,rt order prohibiting an activity
which is in violation of the Statutes.
Attached are two copies of our NPDES Permit Application-Form D. This
application should be submitted to the address indicated on or before January 1, 2009.
At the very least you will have to install an effluent disinfection system to follow your
present treatment scheme. If you choose chlorination as a means to achieve
disinfection, you will be required to install a dechlorination unit. You should acquire the
services of an Engineer licensed to practice in the State of North Carolina to assist you
in this process. Do not be surprised if your engineer discovers that extensive rebuilding
of your sub-surface sand filter ends up being required in order to meet proposed permit
effluent limits.
I encourage you to call me at [phone] should you need to discuss this
matter. We look forward to receipt of the attached NPDES Permit Application on or
before January 1, 2009.
Sincerely,
Roy M. avis
