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

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:

Roger Edwards(BORC)was present for the inspection.
The comprehensive Facility Plan is complete. MSD is in the design stage for headworks improvements
including a perforated screen,a vortex grit removal and converting old anaerobic digesters to surge
tanks.
The lagoon was visited to observe where Water Treatment Plant(WTP)sludge is being deposited.
MSD recently contacted DWR to dispose of WTP residuals(alum sludge) into their lagoon. Previously
MSD would receive these residuals at the head of their WWTP.

Illegal Discharge of Waste
aste to Waters
Stream Standard Violation—Turbidity
Stream Standard Violation-Removal of Best Usage
Henderson County
Dear Mr.Brittain:
On October 22,2015,staff from the Asheville Regional Office (ARO)of the Division of Water
Resources(DWR) conducted a>site inspection of the subject property near Mills River,North
Carolina.During the site inspection,DWR staff observed liquid waste from a pile of decaying
vegetables on the subject project flowing in a channel through the pasture and entering an
unnamed tributary of the Mills River(Class WS-III). Significant fungus was observed in the
unnamed tributary for approximately one half mile downstream of the vegetable liquid waste
discharge.No fungus was observed in the unnamed tributary upstream of the vegetable liquid
waste discharge
Staff of the DWR returned to the site.on October 27,2015 and collected water samples from the
unnamed tributary upstream and downstream of the vegetable liquid waste discharge. The water
samples were analyzed for turbidity and biochemical oxygen demand(BOD).
As a result of the site inspection and review of the water sample results,the following violations
were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Illegal Discharge of Waste to Waters—North Carolina General Statute (hereby known
as G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6)requires that no person shall cause or permit any waste, directly
or indirectly,to be discharged to or in any manner intermix with the waters of the State in

violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned classifications or in ,
violation of any effluent standards or limitations established for any point source,unless
allowed as a condition of any permit, special order or other appropriate instrument issued
or entered into by the Commission under the provision of the Article. The unauthorized
discharge of the vegetable liquid waste as confirmed by DWR on October 22,2015 is a
violation of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6).
II. Stream Standard Violation—Turbidity-15A NCAC 02B .0211 (21)—On October
27,2015, during the site inspection, DWR obtained water samples from the unnamed
tributary of the Mills River upstream and downstream of the vegetable liquid waste
discharge to analyze for turbidity. The water sample turbidity results.are as follows:
UTMillsRiver2 (Upstream): 6.5 NTUs
UTMillsRiver3 (Downstream): 170 NTUs
III. Conditions of Best Usage—15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2)—On October 27,_2015, during
the site inspection, DWR obtained water samples from the unnamed tributary of the Mills
River upstream and downstream of the vegetable liquid waste discharge to analyze for
biochemical oxygen demand(BOD). The water sample BOD results are as follows:
UTMillsRiver2 (Upstream): 5.3 mg/1
UTMillsRiver3 (Downstream): 51 mg/l
The turbidity and BOD impacts are violations of Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 02B .0211 (2)which requires that"The waters shall be suitable for
aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity,wildlife, secondary -
recreation,and agriculture;sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses

Dear Dr. Shehee;
The Asheville Regional Office responded to a groundwater complaint in Burke County.The private
water supply well, located at the address above,was sampled on September 28, 2015. Samples
were collected based on the location of the well,which is next to a former gas station with known
groundwater contamination and the depth of the well,which is approximately 12 feet.The water
samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds,fecal
coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, and various metals.
The table below summarizes the analytical results.There were no detections for volatile organic
compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds. A number of metals are present but no
concentrations occur above the state's groundwater standards (15A NCAC 02L .0202). Fecal and
total conform bacteria are present and above the state's'groundwater standards (15A NCAC 02L

Dear Dr. Shehee,
The Asheville Regional Office is conducting a nitrate-in-groundwater investigation in the Iron Duff
Community of Haywood County. 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).

Dear Mr. Diaz:
I contacted you on the phone November 4, 2015, regarding the subject property. You purchased this property in
2012 and stated you were unaware that it held a permitted septic system like your adjacent property at 43
Driftwood Ct. I have attached an Ownership Change Form that you must fill out and submit as indicated on the
form. I filled in two items for you on the form; the Certificate of Coverage number and the Facility address.
Please fill this form out and submit the required information immediately. Please also send a copy to me at the
address on the bottom of this letter.
Also, enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection I conducted
')n November 6, 2015. You stated you were unaware of when the septic tank was last pumped out and since this
'will be used a rental property it is important for proper operation of the system that the septic tank be pumped
out.
Finally, I have also enclosed a site schematic for your reference.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff
have any questions,please call me at 828-296-4500

Forest City Wastewater Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00050
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Condrey:
On November 5, 2015, I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Wastewater Collection System
that serves the Town of Forest City. 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.

$200.00 TOTAL CIVIL,PENALTY
$259.26 Enforcement Costs
$459.26 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c),in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 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 thirt;'(30)dayss of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR
(2) Submit a written request for remission, OR
(3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing
-
Option : Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality(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:
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper_
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or;a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for anyprevious 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 Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in
the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for
-
payment,and provisinn 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.

SUBJECT: Re: Effluent Composite Sampling Requirement
Spindale WWTP
Permit No: NCO020664
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Mundy:
The Department of Environmerital Quality Division of Water Resources (DEQ' Asheville Regional Office has
reviewed your Effluent Composite Sampling Requirement letter dated October 26, 2015 regarding the current
practice of performing effluent sampling on a time proportional basis. Your letter fulfills the option to submit a
written request to DEQ seeking approval to perform time proportional composite sampling.
-'It is our understanding based on your letter that time proportional sampling is temporary in nature, and
necessitated by the current state of the effluent weir coupled with the significant flow reduction that the
Spindale WWTP has experienced in recent years. The DEQ also understands that your facility plans to install an
automated V-notch weir and ultrasonic flow monitoring device during the first quarter of 2016.
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.

$1,750.00 for each Monthly Average violation is now due for a total of 4 000.00.

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. 143$-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;

(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty(30)days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty,OR

(3) Submit a written request.for an administrative hearing

Please submit payment to the attention of:
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2; Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
® request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below.as they may..
relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the,accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied.by a waiver..of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in
the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for ,
payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was
not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore,it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts"form within thirty(30)days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for

Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at,G.S. 143B-282.1(b),which are:

Please submit payment to the attention of:
NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
Please be aware-that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may
-_ relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper
procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in
the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following`factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in
the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for
payment,and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was
not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties,
Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts"form within thirty(30)days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for

such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you
believe the civil penalty should be remitted,and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below.
In determining whether a remission request will be;approved,the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)was wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The
Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in
the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status,directions for

Regional Operations Section (WQROS) conducted complaint investigations at the subject dry-litter sites. We
wish to thank you for your assistance during the investigation.
According to 15A NCAC 02T .1400, manure hauler operations are deemed permitted. This means that while

The following items were determined to be deficient at the time of the inspection:
1. Stockpiled litter should not be left uncovered for more than 15 days. During the inspection you indicated
that you had litter that had been uncovered for longer than 15 days.
2. Litter should be sampled as close to the time of application as practical,but at least within 60 days before
or after land application events. The waste generator should provide you with a copy of the waste analysis.
You indicated that you did not have waste analyses.
3. A.soils analysis less than three years old is required for all fields that receive litter. Soils analyses were
not available.
You are required to take corrective measures regarding items #1 and'#2 immediately. You should address item
#3 within 30 days of receipt of this Notice. Please send a letter to our office upon completion of the above:
Failure to comply with the State's rules and correct the noted deficiencies may result in the assessment of civil
penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms available to the State.

Dear Ms.Young,
Please find attached the analytical results for water samples collected from your water supply
well at the address referenced above, on September 8, 2015.Water samples were collected
because of a recent soil test next to your house foundation,which indicated the presence of
the termiticides chlordane and dieldrin at concentrations that exceed the North Carolina
Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch's preliminary health-based soil remediation goals for both
residential sites and the protection of groundwater.Your water supply well is located
approximately 25 feet from the house foundation. 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).

Dear Mr. Karppinen,
Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your water
supply well at the address referenced above, on September 30,2015.The water sample was
analyzed for nitrate, nitrite, and various metals.
The following table summarizes the attached analytical results for your water supply well..
Please note that the bolded values indicate levels above the NC Groundwater Standard, 15A'
NCAC 2L.0202.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).

Iron,manganese,and zinc concentrations are above the applicable standards.Nitrate and s
nitrite concentrations are detectable but below the applicable standards.The remaining '
metals are below the applicable standards and are fairly typical of groundwater quality in
western North Carolina. Because iron,manganese, and zinc concentrations exceed the a
applicable standards,a Health Risk Evaluation (HRE) of the water supply well was performed
by our toxicologist, Dr. Ken Rudo,The HRE,which is enclosed,makes specific iz
recommendations for your water based on these analytical results.
If you have questions concerning the Health Risk Evaluation,please contact Dr. Ken Rudo at

Dear Mr. Eckardt
On November 17, 2015, I conducted a collection system inspection at the Town of Valdese. Mr. Bryan
Duckworth was present for the inspection and his time and efforts are appreciated. The facility/program appeared
to be in compliance with permit WQCS00032. However,the Spill Response Plan needs to be updated to include
reporting requirements and a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) needs to be completed. We discussed that
components of the CIP have been completed and that McGill and Associates has been hired to develop a
comprehensive CIP for the Town of Valdese by March 2016.

Dear Dr. Shehee,
The Asheville Regional Office is conducting an investigation of hexavalent chromium in the Cope
Creek Community of Jackson County. The private water supply well was sampled on October 20,
2015 and is a shared well between a single-family residence (46 Retirement Lane) and a mobile
home park (3 Retirement Lane). The water sample was analyzed for chloride, hexavalent
chromium, sulfate,and various metals.
The table below summarizes the analytical results. There are no constituent concentrations above
the state's groundwater standards (15A NCAC 02L.0202). y
