DWR reviewed Duke's submittal and determined that the information and documentation submitted is insufficient based upon our initial request.Therefore, DWR is requesting additional information regarding AOW-4 to address remaining questions and evaluate any necessary actions that may be warranted. The DWR letter specifically requested the submittal of"any engineering studies complete to-date" but only water quality analytical data on AOW-4 and the Broad River was included as an attachment with your submittal. Duke's submittal referenced a geophysical survey, geotechnical borings, piezometer installation, etc., but did not include any actual results of this testing. The submittal was largely a narrative instead of an engineering analysis that provides substantive findings and conclusions supported by documentation of the tests referenced. Lastly, DWR has learned that an exploratory effort was performed in December 2015 that may have included a pipeline camera survey which was not referenced in Duke's submittal. To address the aforementioned concerns, DWR is requesting submittal of an engineering analysis of AOW-4. The submittal is to be sealed by a North Carolina Professional Engineer and include, but not be limited to, the following: State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 2090 U.S.Hwy.70,Swannanoa NC 28778 828,296,4500 Rogers Energy Complex Page 2 of 2 1. All historic and current plans regarding the evaluation of AOW-4; Duke's submittal references "historic drawings" that would be helpful in understanding the design of `✓ AOW-4. Additionally, it is not clear from Duke's submittal that the historic drawings have been verified to actually represent AOW-4; 2. All results, field data (e.g., field notes) and interpretations of all testing performed on AOW-4 to include any supporting documentation (e.g., maps of piezometers, piezometer data, water quality sample results, etc.); 3. Specific engineering recommendations with supporting narrative, calculations, and plans as necessary; Duke's submittal references future plans for a "stone overlay to reinforce the weighted reverse filter..." but without plans and supporting documents, this approach cannot be evaluated; 4. Results of the stability analysis sealed by a North Carolina Professional Engineer and to include supporting data, calculations, etc.; and, 5. Engineered recommendations supported by results of the various tests for AOW-4. Please submit a response to this request within 30 days of receipt.

Emergency/after-hours notification signage needs to be placed on the WWTP gate. The bar screen component is a confined space and a potential safety hazard for the ORC. Proper confined entry procedure should take place. An extended handle on the bar screen rake should be considered for use and safety of the ORC. Influent Pump Station:The audible alarm worked but the visual alarm did not.The ORC stated he would check/replace the bulb.There is no remote alert for this system; again the importance of the signage noted above. Only two of the pumps in the Equalization Basin were operable; the ORC stated the third pump is in need of repair and is on order. Aeration Basins: Two diffusers need repairing. The chlorine contact chamber had—1'-1.5`of sludge build up according to DWR sludge judge reading. The next time the pumper truck is onsite these solids should be removed. Clarifier Sludge Judge readings obtained by DWR were: - Clarifier 1-—11.5'water depth, —9' solids present, mostly suspended. J Clarifier 2-—14'water depth, —11' solids present, mostly suspended. Clarifier 3-—14'water depth, —11' solids present, mostly suspended. Linville Resorts needs to hire a pumper truck to manage solids (and grease), as needed at the ORC's recommendations. A Fecal.Coliform sample was obtained.The result was 56 col/100ml. Collection System: Linville Resorts, Inc. collection system is regulated under permits WQ0011843, WQ0017219, WQ0017405,WQ0028960 and 15A NCAC 2T.0403.

JAY ZIMMERMAN Director November 8, 2016 Wally Brown 213 Sumner Drive Arden,NC 28704 RE: Sample Location Address:213 Sumner Drive Buncombe County Dear Mr.Brown, Please find attached the analytical results for water samples collected on August 24,2016 and September 1,2016 (hexavalent chromium),from the well head at your water supply well at the address referenced above. Samples were collected to help understand groundwater quality in your area and to evaluate the quality of your drinking water supply. Your drinking water was analyzed for total and dissolved chloride,sulfate,and various metals. Fecal coliform bacteria and total coliform bacteria also were analyzed. All constituents were analyzed at detection limits low enough to allow a comparison to applicable groundwater standards. The following table summarizes the analytical results. Please note that the bolded values indicate levels above the N.C. Groundwater Standard, 15A NCAC 02L.0202.The results are shown in units of micrograms per liter of water(ug/1). USEPA Maximum NC Groundwater Standard Concentration Detected in Analytes Contaminate Level Your Drinking Water Concentration Units Concentration Units Concentration Units Iron u 1 300 u 1 560 u 1 Total iron was present at 560 ug/L which is somewhat above the North Carolina groundwater standard of 300 ug/L. The attached Private Well Information and Use Recommendations prepared by the N.C.Department of Health and Human Services notes that your water can be used for drinking,cooking,washing,cleaning,bathing,and showering based on the inorganic chemical results only,but aesthetic problems such as bad taste,odor,staining of porcelain,etc.may occur. Iron is a common naturally occurring constituent in well water in western North Carolina and its presence at this concentration,in the absence of other indicator constituents,does not indicate or suggest an anthropogenic contaminant source.

The property owner/permittee, Mr. Claude Robinson,was present during this inspection. Mr. Robinson said that he hasn't had the septic tank pumped recently, but that it was probably due. He said the tank is located at the front of the house on the left side and that he would have to dig to expose it for pumping. Mr. Robinson said that the sand filter drain field is also in the front yard and flows to the right side. He pointed where the effluent pipe is located and where it discharges to the stream (Gentry Branch). Water discharging from the effluent pipe was dark gray and not clear. Although small fish were observed swimming downstream and the discharge was very low flow,visual degradation of the receiving stream was still observed. Samples were not collected at this time; however, it appeared likely that the permit effluent limitations would be violated. I informed Mr. Robinson of the violations I observed and asked that he have the septic tank pumped as soon as possible. By not having the septic tank pumped out regularly(every 3-5 years), the life span and effectiveness of the sand filter system may be compromised. A follow-up inspection will be conducted to determine if pumping the septic tank has resolved the problem or if additional measures need to be taken to return to compliance.

The owner, Martin Wilson,was not present for the inspection.The system appeared to be well maintained and clean. Chlorine tablets of the proper size and type were,present in the chlorinator. There was no sign of any ponding over the sand filter or septic tank. Clear water was flowing from the effluent pipe.The effluent was tested for chlorine residual with a result of 0.0 ug/L. We suspect that the effluent from the pipe is groundwater and not wastewater from the system. Mr. Wlson had the septic pumped in April and is currently meeting the requirements for annual lab tests.

The site inspection I was conducted after driving by the property and noting a dam/crossing in an unnamed tributary to Mountain Creek. We understand the need for a crossing and to provide water for livestock;however, impounding a jurisdictional stream and impeding aquatic life passage may be considered a violation of North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC). North Carolina water quality standards for streams can be found in Title ot 15ANCACSubchapterO2B.0211. I have attached a copy of the standards with this letter. Pleasen e part 0211 (1). In order to avoid violations of the above mentioned water quality standard, it is strongly recommended that the impediment be removed to allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. Please contact me at the Asheville Regional Office(828)296-4650 to resolve this matter. I would like to set up a site meeting with you and Brandon Higgins with the Rutherford County Soil and Water Conservation District to discuss better ways to achieve your goals without violating water quality standards.

Staff indicated that during ROW maintenance remote areas are observed as well as some high priority lines.We discussed documenting these inspections. The Spill plan needs to include the most current reporting requirements(24-hour press releaseetc.). Suggested log sheets and the updated reporting requirements were emailed to staff on 11/15/2016. We discussed photo documentation with notes for tracking manhole inspections and maintenance needs. The manholes by the Frosty Freez were much improved this year. Staff have done a good job in working with the owner,as well as the City of Lenoir to clean the lines. However, staff need to have another conversation with the owner, as the storm drain in front of convenience store(Frosty Freez catering establishment)had evidence of recent grease/oil dumping into the drain, Page: 2 permit: WQCS00317 Owner-Facift:Town Of Cajah's Mountain Inspection Date: 11114/2016 Inspection Type:.Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine Inspections Yes No NA NE Are maintenance records for sewer lines available?
