Dear Ms. Sanders:
The Division of Water Quality has received correspondence from Mr. Terry Allen, T.E.
ALLENENGINEERING, dated September 8, 2009, in regard to removal of sediment from
approximately 100 linear feet of(North) Fowler Creek, a Class C, Tr stream in the Savannah River
Basin (along with digital photos submitted September 14th). The proposal details the removal of
sediment from several areas along North Fowler Creek.
The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved
under the following conditions:
• All work shall be performed manually (i.e., with bucket and shovel as indicated in the
correspondence).
• All work shall be performed "in the dry" (as indicated in correspondence, the stream will
be temporarily piped around the impacted area; all work shall be done so as not to increase
turbidity in the receiving stream).
Activities involved in this approved plan, as well as submittal of the final report, are to be
completed within thirty (30) days of this approval letter.
Sin rely,

Inspection Date: 09/22/2009 Inspection Type:Stormwater Reason for Visit:Routine
Inspection Summary:
Observations (in addition to those pointed out previously)
Scour Basin"A"
This basin has sediment deposited at the inlet(mainly from the gravel entrance road); stormwater is also bypassing the
basin—depositing sediment in the walking path area downhill from the scour basin.
Scour Basin"A"should be properly maintained (remove sediment). The permittee should ensure that the entrance road is
properly graded to reduce sediment loss; bypassing of the scour basin should be prevented(properly grading the
entrance road may alleviate this problem and allow the drainage from the road to reach the drop inlet). The permittee
should consult with the original engineering firm or another qualified engineering firm to review this problem.
Scour Basin"B"
This basin appears to be short circuiting (and reconcentrating flow downslope of the basin). The side slopes of this basin
appear to be steeper than 3:1 on one side(this may have been done to save the existing tree near the basin). The
underlying matting is being undercut. The permittee should have this basin evaluated by a qualified engineering firm to
ensure it works properly now and in the future.
BioRetention Basin#1
Erosion is occurring at the rip-rap apron and drainage swale that leads to the inlet(beside the gravel parking area). This
is likely allowing additional sediment to enter the bioretention basin, which will create treatment issues if not removed.
Sediment was noted at the inlet to the bioretention basin. The basin was filled with stormwater during the inspeciton
(due to the previous days appx. 12 inches of rain) and the outlet appeared to be working properly. During the inspection it
was difficult to determine how well the grass was growing in the basin. You must ensure that grass is allowed to grow in
the basin (if this is not occurring, actions must be taken to seed/straw the retention basin). The outlet of the basin is on a
slope above the roadway drainage ditch. It appears that much erosion is occurring around this outlet. Unless measures
are taken to correct this issue—the outlet will continue to cause erosion on the bank. If possible, you may wish to direct
the outlet to the roadway drainage ditch. -
The plans for the project indicate that the parking area above this basin was to have paved aisles and grassed parking
areas (and this was accounted for in the impervious surface calculations for the stormwater BMP,the bioretention basin). `
This area is completely graveled with an asphalt basketball court. This is in violation of the approved plans and
specifications. To ensure that Bioretention Basin#1 will work properly in the long term—you should contact your
engineering firm.
Bioretention Basin#2
Sediment from the gravel entrance road is in this basin. This will cause treatment problems unless it is corrected and the
basin is properly maintained. Sediment fencing was erected above this basin to prevent sediment from entering,
however,this is causing stormwater to short circuit the basin and move directly to the unnamed tributary to Fowler Creek.
This issue must be corrected. Also, as noted with bioretention basin#1, grass must grow in the basin. Due to the
approximately 12 inches of rain prior to the inspection, it was difficult to determine how well the grass was growing in the
retention basin.

Dear Mr. Irwin:
-The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
_.application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The application states that you propose to install a dry stack wall, 5 feet in height, for a length of
162 linear feet. The submitted attachments do not adequately justify your proposed impacts.
Based on the photographs submitted with the application, such extensive stabilization may not be
necessary along the indicated shoreline. It is possible that sloping the bank and vegetating it may
be a preferred alternative (or another type of natural stabilization may be an option). This, in
combination with the existing rock/rip-rap fill, would likely be adequate to stabilize the
shoreline. Please provide documentation for your alternates analysis, including, but not limited
to, natural stabilization. You should refer to Duke Power's Stabilization Guidance for a baseline
of alternatives.
The Division of Water Quality discourages the use of dry stack walls as Wildlife Resource
Commission information indicates that they have the potential to elevate near field water
temperatures and they do not dissipate wave energy, but transfer it to another location. The
Division will not approve this type of hard structure unless other stabilization alternatives are
deemed infeasible.

Dear Mr. and Ms. Gingras
On September 23, 2009, Chuck Cranford from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) conducted an inspection of your property at 530 Stoney Mountain Road in
Henderson County. Tim Fox (Henderson County Erosion Control) and Jason Fulton (N.C.

Stream standard violations were noted during the inspection. Sediment impacts to an unnamed
tributary to Britton Creek, classified as C waters, were documented. The sediment was determined
to have been created by the emergency spillway discharge from the impoundment on your property
creating a new channel through a wooded area before entering the receiving stream. Also, the
routing of the pond discharge water through the emergency spillway has caused a portion of the
receiving stream to be dewatered.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify NCDWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(6)and
(7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual.
b. The design, installation,operation,and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they
equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites,borrow sites, and waste pile(spoil)projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites,the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of
the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[l5A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(WS-I,WS-II,ORW, HQW or Trout)waters. However, due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to
meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet,
or similar annual grain)or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of
ground disturbing activities to provide erosion control. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils involving steep slopes in riparian areas, and should be secured
in place with staples and wherever possible include installation of live stakes of native trees.
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.

5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and
wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than
48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures.The applicant is required to provide evidence
that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due
to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to
proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
8. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the brook trout spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from site 6 and all sites upstream, and
work on sites 1,4, and 5 must be avoided during the rainbow trout spawning season of January 1 through April 15.
9. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
0. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW)or Water Supply I or 1I(WS-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
11. Native riparian vegetation(e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores,dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple)must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
12. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. During the construction of the
project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.
13. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
14. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
15. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
16. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
17. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
18. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
9. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.

Mr.J.B. Setzer, P.E.

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. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
23. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
24. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the NCDOT Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
25. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, Stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
26. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery. ;-
28. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed"Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.

Dear Mayor Henson:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report from
the inspection which Janet Cantwell and I performed at the facility on August 27, 2009.
The facility was found to be in marginal compliance with permit NCO026654 due to
maintenance issues, with the rusted dividing wall between the aeration basin and the
digester being a major concern. In discussing this matter with Mr. Jadd Brewer, ORC, it
has been determined that the badly rusted dividing wall has been patched/repaired with a
metal plate.
It is highly suggested that the Town give strong consideration to undertaking major
repairs to the current plant or to begin making plans to completely replace the ageing
facility.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff has any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at
828-296-4500.

The plant is very old and is in need of painting and replacement of rusting metal. The town should strongly
consider replacement of or, major repairs to the plant in the very near future before noncompliance issues
arise. It should also be noted that there is an uncovered electrical outlet on the walk way. This could be a
safety concern for the operator.

Looked at entire project. Most work is taking place at the northern and southern ends of the
project. Some other minor fill and grading work is taking place along the rest of the project.
We continue to have concerns about the southern part of the project. Steep slopes and
sediment could pose a problem if not properly controlled. Sediment has made its way to the
ditch along NCSR 1370 (Kirby Mountain Road). This area should be watched carefully and

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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 determining whether a remission request
will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:

�\
\\_
i
�.
�.;

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
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

Longwood, FL 32750
SUBJECT: Notice of Violation Response and Sediment Removal Plan Approval
Grassmere Enterprises, LLC Property
NOV-2009-SS-0025
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Donkin:
The Division of Water Quality has received correspondence from C1earWater Environmental
Consultants, Inc., dated July 28, 2009, in response to the NOV noted above. The proposal includes
the removal of sediment from an unnamed tributary to Hyatt Creek, a Class C waterbody in the
French Broad River Basin.
After further observance of the site, most recently on September 16, 2009, and continued
discussions with your consultant, the Division has decided to allow the culvert to remain in place
(along with the rip-rap donut which is further preventing sediment from moving downstream).
However,please be aware that the condition of Nationwide Permit(NWP)Number 18 issued by
the Army Corp of Engineers was not followed (the sediment behind the dam was not removed
prior to installation of the new culvert). In addition, as stated in the Notice of Violation, several
conditions of Water Quality Certification No. 3705, issued concurrently with the NWP 18, were
also violated (including the improper installation of the new culvert). Should conditions continue
to deteriorate (i.e., the site not remain stable and sediment continue to be lost), the Division will
have Grassmere Enterprises take corrective action (which may included reinstallation of the
culvert, sediment removal, and complete stream restoration).
The Division approves the removal of downstream sediment with the following conditions:
• Re-evaluation of the downstream site to provide updated photos in 100 foot increments
(pre- and post-sediment removal) for the length of impact.
• Quarterly visual monitoring at the site for a period of 2 years, then annually for 3 years (for

Mr. Kevin Rose

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated September 15, 2007 (received September 16,
2009), 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 approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(6)and
(7). For this approval to be valid,.you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this,--
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shalt'
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual.
b. The design,installation,operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they
equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile(spoil)projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites,the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of
the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(Trout)waters. However,due to the size of the project,the Blue Ridge Parkway shall not be required to meet 15A
NCAC 4B .0124(a)regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet, or similar
annual grain)or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground
disturbing activities to provide erosion control. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate
seeding on disturbed soils involving steep slopes in riparian areas, and should be secured
in place with staples and wherever possible include installation of live stakes of native trees.

coin Rose
,ober 14,2009
?age Three
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top
of stream bank.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and
wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than
48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks,adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence
that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing byNCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due
to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to
proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage.
In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning season of
October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
9. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
10. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW) or Water Supply I or II(WS-1, WS-1I), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
11. Native riparian vegetation(e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble,willows, alders,sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple)must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
12. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. During the construction of the
project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.
13. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
14. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
15. The use of riprap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
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.

Mr. Kevin Rose
October 14, 2009
Page Four
17. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
18. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
19. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
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. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
23. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
24. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Federal Highway
Administration Project Engineer and the on-site project manager.
25. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, Stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
26. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water qualir"
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any othei�,_,
appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project, the Federal Highway Administration Project Engineer shall complete and return the
enclosed "Certificate of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has
been completed. This form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250,Raleigh,North Carolina 27604.

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-
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

.;ssment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
jaearing, 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 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

Dear Mr. Storie:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Pretreatment Compliance Inspection Report
from the inspection which I conducted of the Town's pretreatment program on September
23, 2009. Also, a review of the 2008 Pretreatment Annual Report, which was submitted
late, has been performed. The pretreatment program was found to be in Marginal
Compliance with permit NCO020290 and applicable pretreatment regulations as the
Central Office is missing some of the required program elements for the Town's program.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me 828-296-

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:

for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed

i
�__:!
�,_ '

_ow 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 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

Dear Mr. Norton:
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 7, 2009 a staff member with the Asheville Regional Office 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.
Again on October 22, 2008 an Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) was observed from this
location. 15 A NCAC 02B.0506,(a)(2)(A) requires that "any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass without treatment of all or any
portion of the Wastewater", be reported by telephone to the Asheville Regional Office, or
Central Office within 24 hours of the SSO or first knowledge of the SSO.

As of this date no report has been received by this office of this SSO, and no written
report has been received. 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 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
discharge of wastewater without a permit, and failure to report a Sanitary Sewer Overflow
(SSO). Please respond to this office within fifteen days (15) from date of receipt of this
NOV regarding this incident and the Town of Hot Springs plan to prevent further SSO's
from occurring. Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact

Dear Messrs. Bush and Hicks:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has reviewed your submittal of the No-Exposure Certification for Exclusion from
NPDES Stormwater Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above
referenced facility, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR
126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no-exposure certification,you are obligated to maintain no-
exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a
no-exposure exclusion,you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your
stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge.
Your conditional no-exposure exclusion expires in five years (October 21, 2014). At that time you must re-certify
with the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your conditional exclusion from permitting does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.

Response deadline: November 25, 2009
Dear Mr. Kaney:
he Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Ownership/Legally Registered Entity. The owner for the project must be a legally registered
entity. Please provide documentation from the North Carolina Secretary of State that Wolf
Laurel Roads & Securities Board is a registered entity. The registered agent is then the signer for
the application (unless the agent properly delegates that authority). In addition, Part A.3.b. of the
application requires the Deed Book and Page No. This portion of the application was not
completed as required.
2. Avoidance and Minimization. Part A.La. of the application has not been answered. This
portion of the application is required by 15A NCAC 02H .0506 and must be completed. The
DWQ will not be able to issue a certification for the project unless the activity minimizes adverse
impacts to surface waters. The surface water to be impacted is Wolf Laurel Branch, a Class C,
ORW, HQW stream in the French Broad River Basin. As part of this requirement,the applicant
shall provide an evaluation of alternatives to the 4, 24 inch culverts.

This includes, but may not be limited to, replacement of the bridge with another bridge,
replacement of the bridge with a bottomless culvert(spanning structure), replacement of the
bridge with a single culvert, or dual culverts. DWQ believes the use of four culverts will result
in an over-widening of the existing stream channel, in violation of Water Quality Certification
No. 3704.
In evaluation of multiple culverts,the DWQ requires that a single culvert be used to handle base
flow and another culvert be used to accommodate higher flows (ref. Water Quality Certification
No. 3704, Condition 14—Placement of Culverts and other Structures in Waters and Wetlands).
Cross sectional details must be included with the plans. Again, it must be demonstrated that
culverts are the most practicable alternative in light of other alternatives.
3. Mitigation. Part D.2. of the application requires information regarding mitigation. The DWQ
requires that stream impacts for a project, in excess of 150 linear feet of streams (intermittent and
perennial), propose and implement mitigation(15A NCAC 2H .0506(h)) to offset these impacts.
As all of the developments surrounding, or sharing property boundaries, with the Wolf Laurel
Ski Resort are part of the same project, all impacts to waters must be quantified, and if mitigation
is lacking, mitigation must be proposed to fulfill this requirement for the development activity, as
part of this application.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to November 25, 2009. Four copies of the
required information should be provided to the 401 Permitting Unit at:
Ms. Cyndi Karoly
401 Permitting Unit

If we do not hear from you by the deadline, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and
we will consider the project withdrawn.

This letter only addresses the preliminary application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands,
waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized(at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Susan A. Wilson at 828-296-4500, if you have any questions.

Re: Discharge Monitoring Reports
Dear Mr. & Mrs. James:
In a response from your firm dated 10/14/09 for an NOV for Greystone WWTP(and some other
facilities) you stated "The reported value for the TSS was 50.6 mg/!..,. This also is within the 20%
allowable range of the permitted limit. Therefore, the back of the DMR was marked compliant"
This statement in your response is incorrect. The permit limit is the permit limit. Any value
reported greater than the permit limit is considered to be non-compliant.
When the permit limit is exceeded by less than 20 % the facility will receive a Notice of Violation.
The compliance box on the back of the DMR should be marked as"Non-Compliant." If the permit limit is
exceeded by 20 % or more the facility will receive a civil penalty and the box should be marked"Non-
Compliant".
It has also come to my attention that DMRs sent by your firm for Total Residual Chlorine are
marked with 50 pg/I as the permitted limit. The permit limit for Total Residual Chlorine has not changed
from the 17 pg/I or 28 pg/I permit limit, depending on the permit- it is simply how the reported values will
be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Because of detection limitations effluent values for
TRC below 50 pg/I will be considered in compliance. Please see the enclosed guidance for TRC
reporting.
If you should have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Janet Cantwell of the
DWQ staff at 828-296-4500.

To: NPDES Permittees
Subject: Total Residual Chlorine 50 ug/l Compliance Level
In a previous letter dated August 14, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) notified
NPDES permittees that water/wastewater treatment facilities with Total Residual Chlorine
(TRC) effluent limits would be required to use analytical methods that produce detection levels
below their permit limit by July 1, 2002. [Note: TRC permit limits are typically set between 17
to 28 ug/1 for discharge to freshwater systems, and 13 ug/l for discharge to saltwater systems].
This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of the NC
enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and compliance
with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 213.0505(e)(4)].
Since that time, DWQ has received several inquiries regarding difficulties with the new
analytical methods, primarily focused on 1) lack of precision with field instrumentation at low
TRC levels for both water and wastewater treatment plants; and 2) manganese interference with
TRC measurement at several water treatment, plants. Some facilities have overcome these
problems through various changes, such as: 1) switching dechlorination chemicals; 2) adding a
second dechlorination feed; 3) changing analytical methods; 4) incorporating manganese
correction; 5) switching to UV disinfection; 6) removing sludge from water treatment plant
settling basins. Also, the DWQ Laboratory Certification staff have provided extensive field
assistance for the new lab methods. Still, some analytical issues remain. In response to the
permittee's concerns, the Division is providing the following changes to its TRC requirements:
❑ TRC Compliance Level Changed to 50 ug/l. DWQ continued discussions with EPA
regarding analytical difficulties with TRC measurements, and in March 2008 received
EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/l TRC compliance level. This will not change the
analysis, annual verification of meter performance, or data reporting, but simply how the
reported values will be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Facilities will
still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for
compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 ug/l will be treated as zero. For example,
if the facility has a TRC limit of 17 ug/l and reports a TRC value of 40 ug/1 on the DMR,
this value will be considered compliant under this new policy. This new compliance
level is effective March 1,2008 (beginning with March 2008 DMR submittals).
DWQ will continue to incorporate TRC effluent limitations into NPDES permits for all
water/wastewater treatment facilities that discharge chlorine-bearing wastestreams to surface
waters. While this new TRC compliance level of 50 ug/1 is effective beginning March 1, 2008, it
will be incorporated into existing NPDES permits with TRC effluent limits upon permit renewal.
At that time, the following TRC footnote language will added to the Effluent Limitations Sheet:
"The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including
field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero for compliance
purposes."

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated September 29, 2009 (received October 1,
2009), 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 approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(6)and
(7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)J in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat, millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities to
provide erosion control. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils
involving steep slopes in riparian areas,and should be secured in place with staples and wherever possible include
installation of live stakes of native trees.
....._......_..... .

per PE
1, 2009
t"hree
Straw mulch and tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within
riparian zones. Coir fiber matting shall be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding for the establishment of
permanent herbaceous cover on disturbed soils within the riparian area. Hydro seeding along with wood or cellulose
based hydro mulch applied from a fertilizer and limestone free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate for the
establishment of temporary groundcover within riparian zones: Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or
cellulose mulch into surface waters is prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top
of stream bank.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and
wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than
48 inches,and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence
that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due
to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to
proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. 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.
The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
9. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr), High
Quality Waters (HQW)or Water Supply I or II(WS-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged.
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. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. During the construction of the
project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.
12. 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:
13. 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,

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated October 15, 2009 (received October 20,
2009), 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 approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre,or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. All other conditions written into the previous Water Quality Certification dated November 3, 2008, for this project,
still apply.
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation,and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they
equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile(spoil)projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites,the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.

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.

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;

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
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 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 Dearing, 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:

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.

.;,sting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
,curred 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 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

Dear Mr. Setzer:
You have our approval,in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the following impacts in an
unnamed tributary of Blair Creek for the purpose of constructing a turn lane on NC Highway 69 in Clay County:
Stream Impacts in the Hiwassee River Basin
Site Permanent Streambank Permanent Fill in Temporary Total Stream Stream

Site 1 0 0 31 134 165 0
Total 0 0 31 1 134 1 165 0
Total Stream Permanent Impact for Project: 31 linear feet. Temporary Impacts for Project: 134 linear feet.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated October 6,2009(received October 14, 2009),
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 approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify NCDWQ and submit anew 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.

Mr. J.B. Setzer, P.E.
October 30, 2009

Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual.
b. The design, installation,operation,and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they
equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites,borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil)projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites,the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of
the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams,and
wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than
48 inches,and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures.The applicant is required to provide evidence
that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due
to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to
proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. 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.
b. 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.
7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to the stream channel shall be
temporary and revegetated with native riparian species.
8. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW)or Water Supply I or II(WS-1, WS-II), stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffer areas is strongly discouraged. ;

zer, P.E.
J 0,2009

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. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. During the construction of the
project,no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S.,or protected riparian buffers.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
19. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
20. 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.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the NCDOT Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
22. 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.
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 or Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
24. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
25. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
