Landon Davidson,P.G. Regional Superv' `c Asheville Regional Office PREPARED BY: Andrew Moore SUBJECT: Enforcement Recommendation Steve and Joy Powell Memory Mountain at Wolf Laurel,PIN#9851550153 Madison County,NC Enclosed is an enforcement recommendation package for Steve and Joy Powell for activities conducted on the property known as Memory Mountain at Wolf Laurel, PIN#9851550153 located in Madison County,NC. Andrew Moore of this Office conducted site inspections as described below. On June 19, 2015, DWR staff conducted a site inspection in response to an anonymous complaint and observed a recently constructed impoundment within an unnamed tributary to Puncheon Fork(Class C; Trout; ORW). On June 24,2015,DWR issued a Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV-2015-PC-0161). DWR records indicate the NOV was received on June 30,2015. On July 28, 2015,DWR staff conducted a follow-up site inspection with Mr. Powell present. DWR observed that additional unpermitted work had been performed on the impoundment. Mr. Powell verbally agreed to restore the stream channel and stabilize the stream banks. On August 5, 2015,Mr. Powell sent pictures to DWR via email to show that the impoundment had been removed and that the work had been completed. On August 19, 2015,DWR staff conducted a site inspection of the property in response to an anonymous complaint alleging work was being performed with heavy equipment in the stream channel. DWR staff noted that additional stream impacts had occurred. The stream impacts were to approximately 200 linear feet of Puncheon Fork(Note: Impacts observed August 19,2015 were on the Puncheon Fork main stem, whereas June 19,2015 impacts were on a tributary of Puncheon Fork) from grading in the stream bed and along the stream banks leaving both banks devoid of vegetation and covered in loose,unconsolidated soil. Impacts were also observed, in a picture provided to the DWR by Mr. Powell, from recently deposited spoil material in the creek \ from the grading activity. During the August 19,2015 site visit,DWR staff also obtained water samples upstream and downstream from the area of disturbance. The water samples were analyzed for turbidity. On August 31,2015,DWR Asheville Regional Office issued a Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement(NOV-2015-PC-0220). DWR records indicate that the NOV was received on September 5, 2015. DWR has not received a written response to the NOV. On October 8, 2015, DWR Asheville Regional Office issued a Notice of Continuing Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement for NOV-2015-PC-0220. DWR records indicate that the Notice of Continuing Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement was received on October 16, 2015. DWR has not received a written response to the NOV and the violations have not been resolved. The current status of the site is still under NOVRE from DWR for both impacts to the unnamed tributary of Puncheon Fork(NOV-2015-PC-0161) and impacts to Puncheon Fork(NOV-2015- PC-0220) The impacts associated with NOV-2015-PC-0220 have resulted in the following violations: • Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2) by impacts to approximately'200 linear feet of stream from grading in the stream bed and along the stream banks. • Title 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (21) by exceeding the turbidity standard in Puncheon Fork Creek. With the exception of the two NOVs described above,DWR has no record of past violations for J Steve and Joy Powell. a Enforcement Costs: RO STAFF INSPECTOR 12 hours @ $30.55 $366.60 RO SUPERVISOR 1 hours @ $44.74 $44.74 Central Office Review and Processing $100.00 Total $511.34 A DWR Timeline of events: i • June 19,2015: Andrew Moore received an anonymous call that someone was digging in the creek with an excavator on Puncheon Fork Road,Mars Hill,Madison County. .Andrew Moore responded to the complaint June 19,2015,and found that the owner of the property,Steve Powell,had constructed'an impoundment on an unnamed tributary of Puncheon Fork(C; Trout; ORW). Mr. Powell owns''a wedding chapel(Memory Mountain at Wolf Laurel)on the other side of the road and recently purchased the subject property and is improving it and an on-site barn as part of the wedding venue. The impoundment was constructed to act as a forebay for one existing in-line pond, and to provide a small pool and head for an inlet to a second off-line pond. During the June 19th inspection,Andrew Moore inspected a significant portion of Mr. Powell's property and i took considerable time to explain water quality standards and what activities would be considered a violation of those standards. He was clearly instructed that he was not permitted to do any work in the water and that he should not do any additional work on the impoundment until we consulted with the Army Corps of Engineers. • June 24, 2015: Mr. Powell was issued NOV-2015-PC-0161 (attached). • June 28, 2015: After talking with the Army Corps of Engineers,Mr. Powell elected to pursue option 2 in NOV-2015-PC-0161 and restore the stream channel. Tasha Alexander with the ACOE, Mr. Powell,and Andrew Moore had an on-site meeting to discuss how Mr. Powell was going to restore the stream channel. Upon arrival at the meeting,it was evident that Mr. Powell had performed additional work to the impoundment. Andrew Moore once again told Mr. Powell that he did not have the approval or permits to perform any work in the channel. Andrew Moore,ACOE, and Mr. Powell agreed on how Mr. Powell was to going to restore the stream channel and stabilize the streambanks following the work, and that he had one approved opportunity to restore the stream and orient his pond inlet intake as part of the resolution of the NOV-2015-PC-0161. • August 5, 2015: Mr. Powell emailed a picture to Andrew Moore showing the restored stream channel. • August 6, 2015: Andrew Moore responded to Mr. Powell via email on August 6, 2015, notifying him that the repair work appeared to be complete as agreed upon, and that once vegetation became established Andrew Moore would conduct a follow-up site inspection and close NOV-2015-PC-0161. • August 17,2015: Andrew Moore received an anonymous complaint that someone had an excavator and was performing work in Puncheon Fork at the subject property. Andrew Moore received the call late in the day after returning from the field. Andrew Moore called Mr. Powell and left him a message regarding the complaint and did not receive a return call. • August 18,2015: Andrew Moore received an email from Mr. Powell with pictures and a narrative describing the work he was performing on Puncheon Fork. • August 19, 2015: Andrew Moore received an email from Mr. Powell with a narrative describing the work he was performing on Puncheon Fork. Andrew Moore received another anonymous complaint call that work with an excavator continued within Puncheon Fork.Andrew Moore conducted a site visit the afternoon of August 19. During the site inspection it appeared that Mr. Powell had over-widened approximately 200 linear feet of Puncheon Fork. Both streambanks were completely devoid of vegetation for approximately 200 feet and composed of exposed soil.Note that this is a completely different stream channel than the subject of NOV-2015-PC-0161. It appeared that he had removed a significant amount of bed material during the over-widening and placed it on the banks. Water samples were collected for turbidity analysis directly upstream of the disturbed area and at the lower end of the disturbed channel. The upstream turbidity was 18 NTUs and downstream was 600 NTUs. • August 25, 2015: Andrew Moore and Kevin Barnett conducted an on-site meeting with Mr. Powell to discuss the work he performed on Puncheon Fork and the water quality violations documented. Mr. Powell was concerned with a three-barrel DOT culvert that conveyed Puncheon Fork from his property on the west side of Puncheon Fork Road to his property on the east side of Puncheon Fork Road. Mr. Powell insisted that he would continue to perform work in the stream channel and remove bed material and stream substrate from the culvert if the DOT failed to perform the work. • August 28, 2015: Andrew Moore emailed Mr. Powell that the DWR had contacted the DOT regarding the DOT culvert on his property and that the DWR requested that it be evaluated for maintenance. Mr. Powell was notified that an NOV was forthcoming for the activities document August 19,2015, and that the NOV would require a response. • August 31, 2015: Mr. Powell was issued NOV-2015-PC-0161 (attached). • September 14, 2015: Andrew Moore called Mr. Powell and left a voicemail notifying him that no response to the NOV had been received by the DWR and that a response was required by COB.No response was received. • October 8 2015:-After determining that the parcel owners were Steve and Joy Powell, a Notice of Continuing Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement for NOV-2015-PC- 0220 (attached) was issued to Steve and Joy Powell. No response to the Continuing NOVRE has been received as of the date of this memo: 4 w North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Pat McCrory Donald R.van der Vaart Governor Secretary November 2,2015 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED 7014 0510 0000 4466 8079 Hollis M.

The private water supply well, located at"the address above,was sampled on September 30, 2015. Water samples were analyzed for nitrate, nitrite, and various metals. It is important to note that this well was recently put back into service after sitting idle for more than a decade. During the site visit,the well was discharging copious amounts of precipitate. encouraged the owner to purge the well as much as possible before putting it back into service.I will likely resample this well once the owner has thoroughly purged the well and the water is no longer turbid. The table below summarizes the analytical results. Nitrate and nitrite were not present in the analytical results. A number of metals are present with barium, chromium, iron, lead,and manganese concentrations occurring above the`state's groundwater standards (15A NCAC 02L .0202).

Based on records reviewed, on-site visits to pump stations and interviews with staff, the Wastewater Collection System was determined to be in compliance with permit WQCS00050. A report is attached for your records with findings summarized. The collection system appears to be well maintained and operated. The following items were noted during the inspection: • Create and maintain a log to document biannual clearing and inspection of remote areas and easements. 0 Create and maintain a log to document the monthly inspection of high-priority lines. The Dogwood Pump Station remains vulnerable to`overflows. Complete replacement to the incoming gravity line contributing significant'IfI flow. This pump station should be monitored closely following completion of this project to determine if further improvements(e.g. equalization basin to replace upstream manhole) are needed. • The Erwin Pump Station force main should be reconfigured to allow normal duplex operation. Currently the ORC reports that only one pump can operate at a time without the potential to cause overflow at the receiving manhole.

This letter shall serve as written approval from the DEQ .to allow Spindale WWTP, Permit No: NC0020664, to _ perform effluent sampling on a time proportional basis until the upgrades to the effluent flow monitoring as described above are complete. Following installation of the V-notch weir and ultrasonic flow monitoring device, the Spindale WWTP shall notify the DEQ in writing and return to flow proportional effluent sampling as described in Part II, Section A "Composite Sample" of your NPDES permit and 15ANCAC 02B.0503.

The water samples were analyzed for chlorinated pesticides,nitrate,nitrite,and various metals. The following table summarizes the attached analytical results for your water supply well. The results are shown in units of micrograms of contaminate per liter of water (ug/1) and are approximately equivalent to parts per billion (ppb).
