RE: Sample ID:AC12340 and AC12386

Haywood County
Dear Ms.James,
Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected from your water
supply well at the address referenced above, on September 2, 2014. Because the actual well
head was not accessible during the site visit, a sample was collected at an outside hydrant
connected to your water supply well. Therefore, the analytical results will represent the
quality of drinking water for the entire mobile home park. The sample was analyzed for
nitrate, nitrite,fecal coliform bacteria,total coliform bacteria, and various metals.
The following table summarizes the attached analytical results. The results for metals and
nutrients are shown in units of micrograms of contaminate per liter of water (ug/1) and are
approximately equivalent to parts per billion(ppb).
Barium 2,000 ppb 700 b ppb
Calcium 4,300 b
Magnesium 1,300 b
Nitrate 10,000 b 10,000 b 640 b
Potassium 1,700 b
Sodium 3,800 b
Zinc 1,000 ppb 18 ppb
There are no detections for fecal coliform bacteria and total coliform bacteria at this time.
Nitrate is present at a concentration below the applicable standard. The remaining metals are
below the applicable standards and are fairly typical for groundwater quality in Western
North Carolina. Because nitrate is present, a Health Risk Evaluation (HRE) of the water supply
-� was performed by our toxicologist, Dr. Ken Rudo. The HRE, which is enclosed, states your

Re.: Analytical Results for Private Supply Well
16 Bear Leah Trail
Arden, NC
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Gasperson,
Please find attached the analytical results for water samples collected on August 5, 2014,from the
well located at the above referenced address. The samples were collected at the well head and
i analyzed by the Division of Water Resources(Division)for total metals, chloride, sulfate,fluoride,
MBAS(methylene blue active substances,a measure of anionic surfactants), boron,alkalinity,
carbonate, bicarbonate,turbidity,total dissolved solids,and nutrients. Duke Energy Progress'
(Duke) contractor Synterra also collected water samples at the well on August 5t"and analyzed
them independently.
All sampled constituents were below the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)Title 15A 2L
.0202 groundwater standards(21.standards)with the exception of iron (2L standard of 300 ug/L)
and manganese (2L standard of 50 ug/L)at 4,100 ug/L and 79 ug/L, respectively. Based on the
concentrations of iron and manganese detected in the water sample,,a Health Risk Evaluation (HRE)
of the water supply was performed by a toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health
and Human Services(DHHS).The HRE,which is attached, recommends the water not be used for
drinking or cooking unless you install a water treatment system to remove the iron. Note that
water in the well at the time of sampling was slightly cloudy and contained turbidity of 40 NTU. It is
not uncommon for newly installed supply wells to contain elevated turbidity from drill cuttings not
removed during well development.This turbidity may or may not be flushed out of the well over
time with normal use. The elevated turbidity, in some cases, may artificially inflate analytical
results for some constituents like iron and manganese that would otherwise be lower if the well
was not turbid. If you have any questions regarding the HRE, please contact Dr. Rudo at(919)707-
5911.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Catawba River Pollution Control Facility
Permit No: NCO026573
Burke County
Dear Mr. Boris:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report from the inspection conducted on
November 4, 2014. Overall the facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0026573, however
deficiencies at the facility still exist. We have been in discussions throughout 2014 concerning the repairs
needed to the primary clarifiers. Per our discussions the schedule for repairs to one of the primary clarifiers was
on schedule to be completed by the fall of 2014 and the other is to be completed in your Fiscal Year 2015/2016.
,The scheduled repairs had not been completed at the time of my inspection; however the ORC stated they
:.;could be completed soon. If the repairs have not been completed by the end of this year please notify me.
I do want to note the staff are doing a commendable job in operating and managing the facility. It is an aged
facility with many needs and they appear to be diligently working through the ongoing and unexpected
malfunctions.
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.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Operations and Maintenance:
The inspector met with the ORC,Tim Corpening, to inspect the facility. .Tim and all of the staff are
doing a good job of operating this facility. The facility recently has been through costly upgrades,which
have helped this facility a great deal. Unfortunately, it is an aged facility and repairs continue to be
needed. The facility staff and the City's ongoing efforts to operate and manage this aged facility is
appreciated and apparent in the effluent compliance.The process control program is excellent.Also
the management of the solids levels in the secondary clarifiers are much improved from the previous
inspection.
Facility Site Review:
One primary clarifier is in operation with sludge assistance;the ORC has arranged a portable pump
system. The other primary clarifier is down and is slated to be rehabilitated in the next couple of
months. Morganton will rehabilitate both primary clarifiers by the end of their fiscal year 2015-2016.
Secondary Clarifiers:
The ORC has a system in place to manage the scum, however the scum trough component needs to
be fixed.
Disinfection Safety:
The RMP needs to be updated and the cylinders should be protected from the sun.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Goforth Residence
Permit No: NCG550233
Madison County
Dear Mr. Goforth:
On November 4, 2014, I conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the
subject facility. A copy of the Compliance Evaluation In Report is enclosed.
During the November 4, 2014 inspection, I collected a water sample from your effluent
pipe for analysis`of fecal coliform bacteria. Fecal coliform bacteria were detected in the
sample at 2,200 colony forming units per 100 milliliters (CFU/100 ml), which exceeds
the General Permit limit of 400 CFU/100 mi. A copy of the laboratory analytical report is
enclosed. Based on these results, the facility is found to be noncompliant with permit
NCG550233.
In order to bring the subject facility into compliance, I recommend that you have
your septic tank pumped as soon as possible. As you and I discussed on the phone,
your system may need an upgrade to include chlorination and dechlorination to bring it
into compliance. There may be funding opportunities available to make the upgrades to
your system. I will keep you informed of those opportunities as they become available.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

The current permittee, Pearl Goforth, is deceased.The current owner, David Goforth,should complete
the previously provided Change of Ownership form.
The Asheville Regional Office does not have any plans or construction details for the system.The
original installer, Ken Dangle,was contacted and indicated the system consists of a 900 or 1,000
gallon septic tank,a 24'lined filter system consisting of interlayered sand and gravel, and an effluent
discharge pipe. The effluent discharge pipe was observed to be discharging at the time of the
inspection. No other infrastructure associated with the discharge system was observed at the time of
the inspection.
A water sample was collected from the effluent discharge pipe at the time of the inspection and
analyzed for fecal coliform bacteria.The results were.2,200 CFU/100 ml,which exceeds the daily
maximum of 400 CFU/100 ml resulting in noncompliance with the General Permit conditions.
It is recommended that the septic tank be pumped immediately.

Re.: Analytical Results for Private Supply Well
38 Bear Leah Trail,Arden
Buncombe County, NC
Dear Mr. Mottinger,
Please find attached the analytical results for water samples collected using a low flow sampling
technique on August 5, 2014,from the well located at the above referenced address.`The
samples were analyzed by the Division of Water Resources (Division)for total metals,chloride,
sulfate,fluoride, boron,bromide, nutrients, methylene blue active substances(MBAS, a measure
of anionic surfactants),alkalinity, bicarbonate, carbonate,total dissolved solids,and turbidity.
Duke Energy Progress' (Duke)contractor Synterra also collected water samples at the well on
August 5th and analyzed them independently.
Samples were collected at the well head using a peristaltic pump. All sampled constituents were
below the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)Title 15A 2L.*0202 groundwater standards
(2L standards)with the exception of iron(2L standard of 300 ug/L) t 3,500 ug/L and manganese
(2L standard of 50 ug/L)at 1,400 ug/L
Based on the concentrations of iron and manganese detected in the water sample, I requested
that a Health Risk Evaluation (HRE)of the water supply be performed by a toxicologist with the
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services(DHHS).The HRE,which is attached,
recommends the water not be used for drinking or cooking unless you install a water treatment
system to remove the iron. It is my understanding that you already have a treatment system
installed to remove iron and (or)are using bottled water. If you would like to have the post-
treatment water inside your home tested, please let me know. In the meantime, if you have any
questions regarding the HRE,please contact Dr. Rudo at(919)707-5911.

Dear Mr. Corn:
As part of your 2012 Plea Agreement, you are required to take water samples quarterly above and below the
tributary that drains the area of your dairy operation. A review of those samples,taken quarterly since March of
2013, show extremely elevated levels of ammonia-nitrogen(NH3-N), orthophosphate (PO4), and fecal coliform
in the stream just below your farm.

The results appear to show an ongoing impact to surface waters of the State. Starting this month,the
Division of Water Resources, Asheville Regional Office, will begin a sampling procedure where five
samples are taken in the stream at various locations above and below your farm in order to determine if
water quality standards for fecal coliform and other parameters are being violated.
Based on the above results taken by you and analyzed by the Environmental Quality Institute(EQI), we
recommend that you contact a private environmental consulting firm to conduct a detailed assessment of
your farm to determine where these stream impacts are originating. Upon determining the sources of these
impacts, a plan should be developed and implemented to abate further degradation of waters of the State.
If samples taken by the Division of Water Resources show a violation of water quality standards,this office
may proceed with enforcement actions.
If you have any questions,please contact Ed Williams at(828) 296-4500, [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Deal,
Please find attached the analytical results for a water sample collected October 15, 2014 from your
well at the referenced address. The water sample was collected in response to your concerns
regarding potential impacts to your water supply from an unpermitted municipal solid waste landfill
in close proximity to your well. The water sample was submitted for laboratory analysis of selected
metals,volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and semi-volatile organic compounds(SVOCs)
No VOCs or SVOCs were detected in the water sample. Several naturally-occurring metals, or
metals associated with household plumbing,were detected in the water sample.No metals were
detected in excess of their Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) primary drinking water
standard or their North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Title 15A 2L .0202 groundwater
standard(2L standard). The following table summarizes the results for detected constituents,

I requested that a Health Risk Evaluation(HRE) of your water supply be performed by a
toxicologist with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services due to the presence
of several metals in the water sample. The HRE, completed for both inorganic constituents (metals)
and organic constituents (VOCs/SVOCs), indicates that, based on the analyses performed, the water
can be used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, bathing, and showering. A copy of the HRE is
attached. If you have any questions regarding the HRE,please contact Dr. Rudo at [phone].
If you have any questions regarding the results please contact me at(828) 296-4684.

the well water and are.pre$ i ant,nursing, or have a child under 5 years of age,inform
your physician of the result: ,
Baca-use of the 11c 1N levels, some absorption of these chemicals Is expected
through Intact st+I n and exposure to water vapar..Therefore, limit showering
and bathing time rfo less than 10 minutes.
Because of the h 11h lever, absorption of these chemicals could occur through
intact skin and a r,posure to water vapor. Therefore, limit showering and
bathing tiMe to 1 ryes than N minutes,
ter" Because of the v,r ryF high levels, significant absorption of these chemicals could
occur through In� 3ct skin and exposure to water vapor. Therefore,this water
should not be us A for showering and bathing.
You may want to purchase a w+rter treatment device, drill a new well That is distantly located from
the groundwater contaminartior,, use bottled water, or connect to a public water supply.
Resampling Is recommended in months.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The facility appears to be well-maintained. However, at the time of the inspection there were no
chlorination tablets present in the tubes, nor were there dechlorination tablets present in the
dechlorination tubes.The permittee was unaware that dechlorination tablets should be used in addition
to the chlorination tablets. Both types of tablets must be present for the system to effectively treat the
wastewater prior to discharge. I recommend having the septic tank checked as the system has been
operational for approximately 8 years and the septic tank has not yet been pumped.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
At the time of the inspection, the current homeowners John and Michelle Schmidt were unaware of the
wastewater discharge system serving their home. Ms. Schmidt and I discussed the system and the
maintenance requirements.To properly maintain the system, and to bring the system into compliance
with the permit,the owners should:
1) Complete and submit the enclosed Change of Ownership form,
2) Have the septic tank checked and pumped if the solids level is,found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid
depth in any compartment,
3) Purchase wastewater chlorine tabs and caps for the chlorination tubes,
4)and find,and maintain access to,the effluent pipe.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheetsof narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present during the inspection were Dennis Johnson (Unimin)and Mike Bowden (EPA).
Operation and Maintenance:
A layer of solids were apparent in the clarifier trough and the effluent flume area. These solids have to
be removed and not flushed through the system to the river; these settled solids have a likelihood of
toxicity due to the addition of polymers in the process. Keeping track of solids buildup and developing a
schedule to remove them should become a routine practice.
Sampling:
The pH buffer was expired. New pH buffer has to be purchased immediately. It is imperative that
proper pH buffers be used given the amount of pH adjustments made throughout this industrial
process.
The downstream sampling of the Toe River should be moved—100 feet further downstream. This will
allow for a more representative sampling of the effluent with the river.
Staff time of travel from river to lab for field parameters is at or close to 15 minutes. pH is supposed to
be measured in-situ ideally, but within 15 minutes if in-situ is not viable. A portable meter that can be
brought to the river to sample pH should be used.
Effluent sampling equipment was gathering a 30 ml aliquot; at a minimum a 100 ml aliquot is required
for proper sampling. Also the sampler tubing was at the bottom of the effluent trough in the layer of
solids. The tubing needs to be raised to midstream.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Elk Creek Development Company of Banner Elk, LLC
Angelo Accetturo,Manager
PO Box 725
Banner Elk,NC 28604
Subject: RETURN OF APPLICATION
Elk Creek at Banner Elk
Dear Mr.Accetturo:
On October 7,2013 the Division of Water Resources(Division)received a copy of your 401 Water Quality
Certification Application for the subject project. We wrote to you-on November 20,2013 and July 31,2014
requesting additional information on the project. The application submittal to-date remains incomplete and
insufficient to allow us to process the application package.
The revised submittal dated October 28,2014 and received on November 3,2014 included improved data and
information that will better enable us to review the proposed stormwater flows and treatment. However,there are
still several significant issues where our requests for drawing and calculation revisions have not been adequately
addressed. Therefore,we are returning your application. Some of the issues that continue to be unresolved are
listed below:
1. Even though the issue of clarifying the drainage area size draining to the treatment pond has been raised on
several occasions,your engineer's submittal on October 28,2014 continues to have inconsistencies on the
basic issue of the size of the drainage area of the project. For example, is the drainage area of the project
11 acres or 7.5 acres? Your engineer stated on page 9 of his response that"The retention area is for the
11.00 acres only and does not have runoff from the 12 lot subdivision."However,on page 4 of his
response,he states that"As stated above,the peak flow calculations are for a 7.54 acre project which the
multi-family area[sic] since the drainage for the platted subdivision does not flow into the multi-family
section of the project."If the Drainage Area calculations shown on page 4 of 9 are summed,the total area
of the six drainage areas of the project is 7.55 acres which differs from the 11 acre figure.The total
impervious area shown on sheet 4 of 9(if summed)equals 125,671.36 sf or 2.88 acres. That would make
the project size approximately 38% impervious,not the 27.7% shown on the wet detention supplement
sheet. Based on the boundary shown on exhibit I of your engineer's October 28,2014 letter, our rough
calculation of the project area is 7.5 acres.
2. Regarding the subject of size of the project area to be treated,your engineer's letter on Page 4, item c.
states that"The impervious area is calculated to be 132,717.7 square feet." However,on the"Drainage
Area Table"on sheet 4 of 9,the sum of the six drainage areas is 125,671 sf. Please correct this
discrepancy.

3. We appreciate your engineer providing a clearer delineation of the six different drainage areas that cover
the site. Unfortunately,most of those delineated storm drainage boundaries are not supported by final
contours. Without supporting final contour lines,those suggested drainage basins are of minimal value
and the direction of flow cannot be certified.For example,there is nothing to indicate why the northern
portions of drainage areas#1,#2, and#5 would flow in a southerly direction. Similarly,drainage#6 has
no indication of why the stormwater would flow in the pattern indicated by the drainage area boundary. In
our July 31,2014 letter,we specifically requested detailed drawings"showing the entire site with all
drainage areas...and all topography around the site perimeter"(emphasis added). There are still many
areas around the perimeter of the site where final contours are not present. Another example is the straight
line boundary showing the drainage separation from the single family area that was presented on"Exhibit
1". The delineation of flows based on that straight line is not supported by final contour lines.
There is a ditch running west to east on the southern side of Elk Creek Drive as shown on page 4 of 9 in
your October 28,2014 submittal. Although there is an arrow on the far left-hand side of the drawing
indicating that it is a ditch, from the legend, it seems to be"Wetlands to Remain". Please use accurate
symbols and shading to expedite the review process and ensure accuracy. This reference also refers to the
"channel installation"provided on a detail sheet"8 of 8". There was no sheet"8 of 8"included in the
submittal although there was a"channel installation"provided in some earlier drawings. However,this
information was not sufficient to make a determination on.the adequacy of the ditch to manage the flow
(See discussion below).
Similar problems with inadequate or unclear information were seen in the 4' ditch running west to east and
north of drainage areas#2 and#5. The flow was provided in the engineer's response but detailed
engineering specifications like channel depth, ditch profile, expected flow depths,type of ditch surface
have not been provided.
Similar to the Elk Creek Drive ditch,the note on sheet 4 of 9 regarding the northern"4' drainage ditch"
refers to Sheet 9 of 9 in the package submitted on June 30,2014. However,the note did not contain the
"Channel installation"details that were provided in the package submitted in October of 2013.
Unfortunately,none of the information provided thus far addresses our need to ensure that the ditches are
designed properly. Was the"Channel installation"information that was removed from the October
submittal only meant to be for the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan?
4. A portion of the ditch in drainage area#2 that runs parallel to Elk Creek Drive has a section where the
western elevation is at 3700.0V and the next, eastern elevation is at 3709.21.This would indicate an uphill
flow in the ditch. Please address this apparent issue. Please provide a corrected profile with elevations of
the ditch and the other two major ditches in the project. Without this information and the final contours,
we cannot determine where the flows in drainage area#2 enter the ditch or if they do at all. Similarly,
there is not enough information on the 4' drainage ditch running west to east on the northern side of
drainage area#2 to determine its elevations to enable us to confirm that it will function as intended.
Without this,we can't determine if any stormwater flow will be entering the ditch from the adjacent land
areas:
5. The southern drainage area boundaries of drainage areas#2 and'#3 seem to be in the wrong location.
Shouldn't they be down the center line of the ditch? We can see nothing on the contour lines indicating
how water from drainage areas#2 and#3 could flow into the southern ditch. We've presented this before
but the engineer insists that no drainage from the Elk Creek Development is collected in that drainage
ditch. If that is the case,then the supporting drawings need to be modified.
2

6. The scarcity.of contour index labels has been a considerable hindrance to the review of this plan. Please
resubmit the drawings with easily-identifiable contour index labels.
7. Drawing 5 of 9 continues to include the statement"Volume provided in the filter area is 11,059.76 CF".
We specifically asked in our July 31,2014 letter that the inaccurate and incorrect statement be revised.
We reminded the engineer that there is no"filter area"in his plan and to remove that reference but more
importantly,the 11,059.76 CF"is not the volume provided in the wet pond. It is the minimum volume
required to be treated. Your engineer's revised drawing still inaccurately states that this is the"storage
volume of the proposed pond." Although the filter reference is minor,the inconsistencies in the treatment
volumes provided are not. In the explanation provided by your engineer to question 11 in his October 28,
2014 letter,he states that"The Temporary Pool will contain 13,381 cubic feet which is 1.2 times the
amount required." This is not only in conflict with the 11,060 cf that he provided in the"Water Quality
Notes and Calculations" submitted with that letter but is also different from the revised"Wet Detention
Basin Supplement"sheet that was also included in his letter. The supplement sheet states that the"volume
provided"is,14,399 cf. Additionally,the"Pond Sizing Calculations provided in the"SUPPORTING
CALCULATIONS for Wet Detention Basins"sheet indicates that the"WQ vol provided"is 18,705 cu
ft." Please resolve these inconsistencies.
8. The"Wet Retention Area Detail"and the"Orifice Equation"calculations shown on the most recent
version of sheet 5 of 9 contain several significant errors. First,the average head or"H"value is shown as
7.0 feet. As shown in Chapter 3 of the NC Stormwater Manual,the head is measured from the center of
the orifice to the top of the temporary pool. The"Supporting Calculations for Wet Detention Basins"
information provided in your engineer's October 28,2014 letter show the top of the permanent pool at
3675.5'and the top of.the temporary pool is 3677.5'. That would give an"IT'value of 2' not 7'. To get
an average,the Manual recommends that the"H"value be divided by 3. Please have your engineer
recalculate the orifice equation based on the correct values and the provisions of the state's stormwater
manual. Next,the drawing and the calculation of the orifice size are both inaccurate and would not
perform as intended. The"Notes and Calculations"on.that sheet state that your project should"Use 6"
Orifice." A 6"orifice would drain the pond in a few hours,not the minimum 48 that are required. In
addition,your engineer's"Wet Retention Area Detail"shows a"4"PVC cap with hole drilled." We
would assume that this is the orifice that would.control the water quality volume-release into the outlet box
but we are not sure. Your engineer's specification of"Use 6"Orifice"can't apply to the 4"pipe shown in
the drawing. In addition to this inconsistency,the"Wet Detention Basin Supplement Sheet shows a 4"
orifice in its calculation of drawdown time. There is also a 6"orifice shown feeding into the existing 15"
corrugated metal pipe(CMP). We can only assume that this was intended to be used to achieve a peak
flow rate for the local government's flood control requirements. We would strongly advise against having
an orifice at the bottom of the outlet box due to the great potential for clogging and the difficulty of
cleaning and maintenance at that location. Our review cannot continue until these critical specifics of the
water quality volume release are clarified.
9. The portion of the"Wet Retention Area Detail"drawing(5 of 6)related to the PVC outlet needs
modification. The drawing shows the discharge arm of the 4"tee stubbed into the outlet box at a level
above the permanent pool at Elev. 3675.5. This outlet pipe determines the permanent pool so they could
never be at different levels as shown on the drawing.
10. There are inconsistencies in the Retention Area Section drawings and the Wet Retention Area Detail
drawings relative to the littoral shelf. The sectional drawings show the top of the littoral shelf at 3675.5'
and the"Detail"drawing shows the bottom of the shelf at 3672.0'. The state's Stormwater BUT Manual
specifies that the"inside edge of the shelf shall be 6"below the permanent pool elevation;the outside edge
of the shelf shall be 6"above the permanent pool elevation". The littoral shelf depth should be one foot,
not 3.5 feet as shown on your sformwater plans. The sectional drawings on sheet 5 of 9 show the top of
3

Angelo Acce=o
DWR#13-1070
Page 4 of 5
the littoral shelf at 3675.5' and the top of the permanent pool at that same level. The plan view at the top,
right-hand side of the pond shows the"Littoral Shelf El 3674.0". The vegetation on the top half of the
littoral shelf would not survive the continued inundation and should be 6"above the permanent pool. Also,
the Wet Retention Area Detail shows the"Top of Vegetative Littoral Shelf Elv.3675.0". There are three
different elevations shown on sheet 5 of 9 for the top of the littoral shelf.
11 On the"Section"drawings on sheet 5 of 9,the freeboard level is shown at 3678.0. However,the"Wet
Retention Area Detail"shows the elevation of the top of the freeboard at 3678.5'. Please correct this
discrepancy.
12. In our July 31,2014 letter regarding the absence of any engineering calculations on the adequacy or design
of the vegetated filter strip,we asked for"drawings and engineering calculations be provided showing that
there will be non-erosive flow through the 30' filter strip". The general information on the length of
buffer is neither adequate nor consistent with the requirements of the state rules and the Manual. See 15A
NCAC 2H.1008(f). We have discussed this deficiency with the engineer of record but he has not provided
this information. Without this information,we cannot review the plan. We need velocity, slope and a
detailed drawing that clearly demonstrates that the device will achieve a non-erosive flow of the
stormwater to the creek. The design of any energy dissipater and flow diffusing devices must be shown in
the drawings.
13. The NC Stormwater BMP Manual requires a"detailed landscaping plan"for each wet detention pond.
The only information relating to vegetation is under the"Notes and Calculations"section of sheet 5 or 9.
The statement indicates that the list of species is for the"embankments and perimeter of the stormwater
management". However, item A under that heading provides"Floor of Basin Reed Canary Grass and tall
fescue." This is not appropriate for the floor of the basin which will be inundated and will need no
plantings except on the littoral shelf. Also,Basin Reed Canary grass is not recommended in our j
stormwater manual and is considered an invasive species by many states. The inaccurate information
provided does not qualify as a"detailed landscaping plan."
14. Your engineer's statement that no-off site drainage will enter the site is not supported by contours shown
on the plan and cannot be accepted without that documentation.
15. The Wet Detention Basin Supplement form contains many inaccurate entries. We cannot tell which
average depth method was used. We see no information on how the average depth was calculated. We
believe that it is closer to 1.6 feet than the 3 feet that was entered. The elevations entered are not
consistent with other information in the plan and do not allow the spreadsheet to perform the calculations
as designed. For example,the distance from the bottom of the shelf and the top of sediment was calculated
by the program to be 2.0' based on the information entered and your engineer's plan sectional drawing on
sheet 5 of 9 shows 3'. Also, elevations from the stage storage data are not consistent with the information
entered into the wet detention basin supplement.
16. On page 7 of your engineer's response,he states that the two forebays have a volume of 19.8%of the total
volume but his Supplement Sheet shows a 21.8%value. Please correct this inconsistency.
17. The"Pond Sizing Calculations"of the final page of the October 28,2014 letter provide some information
relative to the Stage-Storage Volume Calculation as shown in Table 3-7 of the NC Stormwater BMP
Manual. However,the formatting on the table is confusing: some numbers need correction and the
incremental and cumulative volumes are not presented. Please provide that information in an
understandable format similar to the one shown as"Table 3-7"in our,Stormwater Manual. Also,the
calculations rely on an 11 acre DA(drainage area)but we believe that the 7.5 acre figure is closer to the
actual size of that area.

J
18. The engineer states in his October 28,2014 response to item#5 "Do not know where the criteria differs
between the plans and the design manual. Our staff has pointed to several areas where the plans were not
consistent with the rules and the Manual: some have been addressed and some have not. For example,the
original submittal did not include a vegetated filter strip after the pond. Furthermore, our staff have
repeatedly pointed out that we need engineering specifications to show that there would be no erosive flow
across the buffer. The requirements for a vegetated buffer strip are in the rules but that information has yet
to be provided. Your engineers' photographs and general statement about not seeing any erosion thus far
do not qualify as engineering specifications for a BMP.
19. The information on the single family portion of the project, sheet 1 of 9 needs to be revised to accurately
reflect only the multifamily portion of the development where the stormwater is to be treated.The
irrelevant numbers on the cover sheet have added considerable uncertainty and delay to our review of your
project.
20. More improvements in the clarity and accuracy of the design specifics of the plan are necessary. The field
engineer needs to be able to implement the provisions of the approved stormwater plans by looking at the
drawings and using what additional engineering specifications are provided. Enlarged drawings of the
discharge structure with dimensions are needed along with specific dimensions of the pond and forebays.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H.0507(e),the Division is unable to approve your application. For the
reasons listed above,your application is hereby returned. Once you have addressed the problems and/or
inadequacies with your application as it was submitted,you will need to reapply to the Division for approval
including a complete application package and the appropriate fee. We will be happy to meet with you and/or your
engineer of record to work on a way to get the stormwater management plan approved.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under Section 401 of the Clear Water Act for this activity and any
work done within waters of the state would be a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Administrative
Code.
Please contact Tim Fox at 828-296-4664 or tim.fox@ncdenr.�gov if you have any questions or concerns.

RE: Update on inspections of the 47 Rock Creek Road site (Cherokee County)
Dear Mr. Brown,
The purpose of this letter is to provide you an update regarding the recent inspection by the
North Carolina Division of Water Resources. It is important to understand that your facility
located at 47 Rock Creek Road is a multiple-use site with activities that may be regulated by
several different state agencies.This site is currently being evaluated for compliance with
regards to regulations governing stormwater,land application of wastes,wastewater
storage/disposal,and composting of solid wastes.
Based on the inspection,there are two immediate issues of concern: (1) the fish wastes
currently being stockpiled onsite and, (2) the storage of stormwater and wastewater in
unlined ponds in proximity to the creek. Discharge of the ponded water to the creek and/or
leaching of the ponded water to groundwater may be considered a violation of applicable
water quality regulations. Please ensure that ponded wastewater or stormwater does not
discharge to the creek. The Division of Water Resources anticipates collecting stream and
pond water samples in the near future. Staff will contact you in advance to schedule a
sampling time for the ponds.
The Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section will be contacting you concerning the
fish waste currently being stockpiled onsite and any composting operations. Troy Harrison is
the inspector for this site and he can be reached at(828) 296-4701. The rules pertaining to
solid waste management and composting can be found on the Section's portal site at:
http //portal ncdenr orglwe�b/wm/sw/compost.
The Division of Energy, Mineral,and Land Resources will be contacting you shortly to conduct
an onsite inspection with regards to storm water regulations.The inspector, Darlene Kucken,
would like to schedule a site visit to coincide with other nearby inspections. Her current
availability is the period of January 12 - 14, 2015. Ms. Kucken can be reached at (828) 296-

Dear Dr. Shehee;
The Asheville Regional Office (ARO) is currently conducting a pesticide-in-groundwater
investigation along Old Jonas Ridge Road in the Pineola Community of Avery County.The
presence of pesticides and nitrates are attributable to a cut flower nursery and possibly an
active Christmas tree plantation.
The water supply well located at the address had detectable chlordane above the state's
groundwater standard (15A NCAC 02L.0202). Nitrate was also present at a concentration
below the state's groundwater standard.
Please review the analytical results and provide a health risk assessment for the presence of
chlordane and nitrate. If you have any questions regarding the results,please contact me at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Brett La v rty

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Animal Waste Handling System
Small Acres Dairy
Facility#45-7
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Corn:
On December 17, 2014, I conducted a routine Compliance Inspection of the animal waste
handling system for the Small Acres Dairy. The records were in good order with the
exception of not having any lease agreements. Signed lease agreements should be acquired
and submitted to this office.
The pump system installed in the drop box at the upper end of the facility near the silage pit
cannot handle large volumes of water when rain storms occur. Also,debris can get caught in
the pump mechanism causing it to fail.
Currently you are milking 350 cows,but about 410 are in the CAFO contributing to a high
volume of waste.
This office sent you a letter dated December 12, 2014 discussing the high levels of bacteria,
ammonia,nitrates, and phosphorous in samples taken below your dairy. A requirement of
that letter is that you hire an environmental consultant to determine where the contaminants
are originating and a plan of action to rectify the problem.
Thank you for your assistance during the inspection. If you have any questions regarding
this inspection or need assistance of any kind,please do not hesitate to contact me at(828)
296-4500. Please review the Inspection Report for additional comments/observations.

Currently milking 350 cows,but about 410 are in the CAFO contributing to high volume of waste.
As part of the 2012 settlement agreement,quarterly samples are required to be taken upstream and downstream of the small
tributary draining the farm property. Results from all samples taken since 2012 show very elevated level of bacteria,ammonia,
nitrates,and phosphorous.

Inspection Summary:
The facility appeared to be well maintained and the records were in good order.
Mr.Ross is currently constructing a cost share project to pipe clean runoff off of his pastures and feeding areas at the upper end
of the facility. This effort will greatly reduce the runoff of waste to the nearby stream. Mr.oss has also recently added more shelter
and guttered areas around the main part of the facility and loafing area. These efforts are an excellent example of upgrading a
facility to improve operations and water quality voluntarily.
