Permit No:NCO076180
McDowell County
Dear Mr. English:
On November 22, 2013, I conducted an inspection at the Jeld-Wen facility to judge compliance of the
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), including the pump station. The facilities appeared to be compliant with
" permit NC0076180. Present during the inspection were you and Keith Morgan with Jeld-Wen and Ken Deaver
with Kace Enviromental, Inc.
Jeld-Wen requested their WWTP be temporarily closed down since the Marion operations have ceased. We
discussed the WWTP closure,the skeleton staff remaining onsite and how they should monitor the closed down
WWTP. We also discussed the pump and haul permit (WQ0036832) requested by Jeld-Wen and the necessary
operation and maintenance requirements associated with the pump station.
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.
Sincerely,

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The Marion Jeld-Wen facility is temporarily closed due to reduced demand for their product. They are
hopeful in a couple of years demand will return, but in the meantime have closed operations at the Marion
facility. In turn they have also closed their wastewater treatment plant(WWTP). There will be three people
remaining at the facility for maintenance and security operations. A pump and haul has been issued for this
wastewater. Please refer to permit WQ0036832.
WWTP Temporary Closure:
The cleaning and shut down of the WWTP appeared to be sufficient to protect the environment from
impacts. The WWTP was pumped and cleaned. Two plugs at the bottom of the WWTP have been removed
to allow rain water to be released. (Note:this WWTP is an above ground metal package plant.)There were
some remaining solids/grit (wood/resin?) caked to a small area at the bottom of the WWTP that will have to
be monitored to make sure they don't migrate. Monitoring should take place monthly and following
significant rainfall events. Without Jeld-Wen in operation there should be no discharge from discharge#2
or#3 either. (See the following question area for more information.)
Pump and Haul (Pump Station):
The pump station wet well will act as a holding basin for a pump and haul permit during the facility closure.
The high water alarm will remain active.
Prior to this WWTP being reactivated there are maintenance activities that need to take place; specifically
the plant should be sand blasted and repainted.
Log/Record keeping:
Onsite staff should record their observations of the WWTP, as well as the required record keeping for the
pump and haul permit. Log book should be kept on site. i

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Phillip Pittman and Sara Hudgins manage this facility very well, especially considering the demands of their
job and the age of the facility.
The log books are well documented and maintained.
Samples are flow proportional.
The facility is set up for de-chlorination, but usually does not have to use it. Their chlorine contact chamber
is large enough that given the current flows the chlorine is at a sufficient level (9-20 mg/1) at discharge.
One last line of diffusers will be added prior to winter.
There have been improvements made to the facility and given its age, maintenance needs will likely remain
high. Coats is aware of this and is already considering future options.
Previous inspections mentioned deficiencies with the clarifiers, including the deteriorated weirs. New weirs
were onsite but had not been installed at the time of the inspection. However, since the inspection the new
weirs have been installed. See cover letter for before and after photos.

Dear Mayor Smith:
This office is in receipt of your letter dated November 1,2013. The actions taken,as described in the submitted response,
were substantial and effective in improving treatment plant operations and have been found satisfactory to resolve the
� subject violations.
Please keep in mind that the Notices of Violations were issued due to an obvious lack of proper operation and
maintenance of the facility observed during the inspection on August 19,2013.Additionally,there was no notification to
the Asheville Regional Office that the facility was experiencing a change in discharge,which threatened the public health
or environment—a requirement within your permit.
We appreciate the Town's prompt and costly actions to mitigate the failing conditions of the facility,while so close to the
transition of wastewater treatment to the new plant. We also appreciate the assurance that the Town is committed to
operating and maintaining the new treatment facility in the manner necessary to protect the environment and the well-
being of the citizens in the community.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters,please contact Jeff Menzel at(828)296-4658 or at

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Safee:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality
-,Certification application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required
`✓,n order to complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Application Item B. 3. d. requests a purpose for your project. In part, you have stated that

given a copy of this approval letter and General Certification(s)/Permit/Authorization and is
responsible for complying with all conditions.
3. During the Environmental Assessment process,the Town of Highlands agreed to the following:
• A commitment to working with State agencies on a comprehensive approach to evaluate
water temperature issues in the upper Cullasaja River watershed and analyze the potential
impact of a cold water release mechanism at the Lake dam on water temperature and habitat
characteristics both upstream and downstream of the Lake Sequoyah dam.
• If it is determined that a cold water release will be beneficial, the following actions will be
pursued by the Town:
• The Town will work with State agencies to seek a reasonable, cost-effective
approach to providing a cold water release that is feasible and practical for the Lake
Sequoyah dam.
• The Town will work with State agencies to develop a funding approach that could
be fairly implemented.
• The Town will cooperate with State agencies to pursue specific temperature
reduction efforts throughout the entire upper Cullasaja River watershed that is
consistent with the results of the evaluation.
• In order to accommodate a potential future cold water release mechanism, the Town will
incorporate into the current dam improvements project a tee fitting and plug which could be
utilized for a future riser pipe stand if the evaluation demonstrates that a cold water release
will have overall positive environmental impacts.
4. As part of the Upper Cullasaja water temperature evaluation,within 180 days of this approval,the
Town will submit plans and specifications for a cold water release mechanism(can be temporary
in nature)that will draw water from approximately 15 feet below the spillway of the dam,and
release this water to the Cullasaja River as a continuous release between May 1st and October 15"'
of the first year following completion of the water intake project. The volume of this release shall
be determined by the Town(or your consultants),but based upon NC Wildlife Resources
Commission's lake temperature sampling performed during the summer of 2013,the release of
cold water is estimated to be at least 50%of summer low flow pass through of the dam to meet
the 20 degree centigrade water quality standard. The Town of Highlands will install temperature
data loggers in the pool below the discharge of Lake Sequoyah dam and below the discharge of
the mixing zone of the cold water release mechanism,to measure the effect of this release on the
overall temperature of the Cullasaja River. At the conclusion of this monitoring period,the data
will be shared with the Division for evaluation. Should this release show that there is a
measurable reduction in river water temperatures over the surface discharge,the Town shall
continue to operate this cold water release in a manner that will release cold water at a volume
that maximizes thermal improvement. The Town shall install a permanent,agency approved,
cold water release mechanism within 24 months.
The Town may elect to install a permanent cold water release mechanism discussed as part of the
application process and referenced in the application, [proposed dam drain valve detail—Sheet I
of 2] as opposed to operating the above temporary cold water release and conducting monitoring,
during the lake drawdown and water intake construction period.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested.
This Certification can be contested as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of General Statute 150B by filing a
written petition for an administrative hearing to the Office of Administrative Hearings (hereby known as -'
OAH)within sixty(60)calendar days.

Dear Mr. Godfrey:
On November 1, 2013, I conducted a Compliance Sampling Inspection of the Cedarbrook wastewater system.
Present during the inspection was Charlie Gross with Kace Environmental. I also revisited the site with Mr.
Gross on December 2, 2013. On December 6, 2013, I received photo documentation of repairs from your
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) Ken Deaver(Kace Environmental). The facility currently appears to be
in compliance with permit NCO035157.
Your responsiveness to the matters brought to your attention by your ORC is appreciated, as are the efforts of
your maintenance staff at Cedarbrook and Kace Environmental staff. In order to keep this wastewater system in
its current compliant state of operation, diligent maintenance will be required. Your operator and maintenance
staff are dealing with a very compact and unforgiving wastewater system which requires above average
management;please keep this in mind.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for important information. If you or your staff have any questions,
please call me at 828-296-4500.

The inspector was met onsite by the ORC's (Ken Deaver) representative Charlie Gross.
Effluent Sample Results:
BOD 13 mg/l
TSS 6.2 mg/I
Fecal 1 col/1OOml
Although the effluent samples were compliant, there are maintenance issues that have to be addressed to
avoid effluent and permit condition violations. A new pump at the septic tank was added last month to
alleviate issues with dosing. Also installed were new distribution lines. However, there are a couple more
areas that need attention. The new distribution lines had quite a bit of residue (soiids/debris) in the
discharge holes. The distribution lines should not be carrying a solids load, therefore an evaluation of
where these solids are coming from needs to be undertaken. During the inspection it appeared a likely
culprit could be the distribution box. The distribution box is below grade and not water tight, therefore it is
possible leaves/pine needles are washing into the system. The septic tank was pumped last month when
the new pump was installed, so it should not be losing solids to the distribution lines. Regardless, keeping
track of the solids level in the septic tank and having a pumping schedule is essential for this facility to
maintain compliance.
This system is compact, offering no buffer if an upset were to occur, making this a high maintenance
facility.

Comment: Sand from bed needs to be properly disposed and moved away from the
edge of the containment wall.
On a schedule determined by the operator, a sludge judge should be brought to the site
to determine the solids level in the septic tank. Cleaning of the distributuion lines should
also follow suit.

Comment: Cedarbrook personnel are responsible for the grease trap;regardless it is
tied to the wastewater system and improvements need to be made. The cap to the
grease trap is below grade, therefore rainwater and debris/dirt can be washed into the
grease trap compromising its capacity and ability to function properly.

Comment: The ORC representative stated the septic tank was pumped last month
when the dosing bell was replaced with a new pump.
The septic tank is reported as being pumped "as needed". As noted above and in the
summary a sludge judge should be used to determine solid level and pumping needs.
An evaluation of solids levels and management needs to be undertaken.

Comment: New distribution lines were added last month. There are already solids
being released from the distribution line discharge holes. As reported the septic tank
was pumped last month for pump repair, so unless the septic tank is filling with solids at
a rapid rate, it is likely the solids getting to the discharge holes may be from natural
debris/leaves due to the distribution box elevation. The distribution box top is below
grade and not water tight, therefore allowing rainwater, debris and dirt to enter the box
and possibly the distribution lines. The distribution lines will need to be cleaned and the
operator will need to determine cleaning frequence to keep the lines operating properly.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Inspector met onsite with Charlie Gross, ORC representative. Mr. Gross'time and efforts spent on this
system are appreciated.
Several more improvements were made to this wastewater system since the November inspection,
including a new grease trap cover, a new distribution box and associated lines and regrading around the
sand bed and distribution box to redirect rain water. Previous improvements include a new pump and
distribution lines.
At the time of this visit the new distribution lines had solids in the discharge holes and were not evenly
dosing, allowing some ponding. Inspector told the ORC representative this had to be fixed immediately.
Friday December 6th, the inspector received photo documentation of the cleaned lines. Also, further
grading around the distribution box was requested; photo documentation was also received regarding this.
All areas regraded need to be stabilized with seed and straw.
The ORC and the owner were responsive to the repairs and maintenance required by the inspector.
However, it is crucial that both parties keep in mind that this system's proximity to the dwellings and its
compactness will require above average maintenance. Also crucial to keeping this system running
smoothly is educating the staff and the residents of Cedarbrook on the importance of what should and what
should not go down the drain or commode, i.e. no rags, no grease, harsh detergents etc.
Finally, several of the improvements made had to do with solids reaching the distribution lines. Continued
evaluation of the solids situation is needed to determine cause and succcess.

Comment: Sand around beds has been regraded and/or removed to avoid overland
flows getting into the beds.
When sand is removed from the beds it needs to be properly disposed and not tossed
over the sides. Proper disposal is in a permitted landfill.

Comment: Review comments from the previous inspection related to maintenance of
the septic tank. This is a compact system; all components are in close proximity to the
apartments/kitchen and each other, so maintenance requirements will be high. It is likely
this septic tank will have to be pumped frequently on a schedule.

Comment: There was still some ponding ocurring during site visit and the distribution
lines discharge holes had solids present. The ORC representative was informed that the
lines had to be cleaned and the source of the solids determined. The ponding
appeared to be from the lines being slightly clogged causing the water to only discharge
from certain holes. Two days were given to resolve.this. See summary.
A new distribution box was installed along with new lines from the box to the distribution
lines. This was much improved, however, it was still requested that the grade around
and draining to and from the box be reworked to avoid heavy down pour and overland
flows having access to the box. All areas regraded will now have to be stabilized with
seed and straw to prevent erosion.

Inspection Summary:
The flow measuring equipment is calibrated twice a year, most recently in November 2013.
The emergency generator is manually tested under load routinely.
There are two current issues being addressed at the WWTP.
1. Influent mechanical bar screening materials disposal:
There are plans to utilize a dumpt ruck to carry the screenings to the landfill. Excavation of
the adjacent area is planned to accommodate the truck entry and exit from the screening area.
2. Electrical instrumentation and controls:
MB Haynes of Asheville began addressing existing problems with the electrical instrumentation
and controls in December 2013. The plant has been manually operated for some time, due to these
issues.
The assistance of Mr. Scott Helton and Mr. Tyler White, was greatly appreciated during the inspection.
Both men appear to be skilled, knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to the proper operation and
maintenance of the WWTP.
The plant appears to be properly operated and maintained.
The effluent was clear and indicated compliance with permit limits at the time of the inspection.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This is the most upstream municipal wastewater system ultimately discharging into the Catawba River;
having outstanding operation and maintenance practices are crucial.
The facility appears to be well operated. The time and efforts by Tony West are appreciated.
At the time of the inspection it did not appear there were pressing maintenance issues with components in
operation. However, components not in use, such as clarifier#1 and#2 do have maintenance needs. Old
Fort is considering accepting wastewater from Hydrotime. If this venture takes place and flows increase to
where clarifier#1 and/or#2 are needed, maintenance (e.g. scum trough, center well etc.)will be needed
prior to putting the clarifiers back into operation.
Regarding the possible future venture with Hydrotime, it is essential that the Town have in place sufficient
pretreatment operations and spill containment. Contact with water quality staff, both Regional and Central,
will be pertinent.

Mountaintop Community Association, Inc.
Mountaintop Golf& Lake Club Wastewater Treatment&Reclaimed Water Utilization System
Jackson County
Dear Mr. Duckett:
In the last several years, Mountaintop Wastewater Treatment Plant has been experiencing significant
permit non-compliance issues. The facility has had numerous effluent limit violations and has received Notices
of Deficiency(MOD's) and Notices of Violation(NOV). The last four NOV'S (May, June, July and August
2013) are being considered for further enforcement action. The estimated penalties associated with those
NOV'S are $2396.32 including enforcement costs.
We understand the difficulty in operating a WWTP that is not utilized to capacity. We also understand from the
responses indicated on the monthly Non-Discharge Monitoring Reports, that on-going adjustments are made in
the operation of the WWTP in hopes of alleviating compliance issues. However, it does not appear that these
attempts are proving to be successful.
It is recommended that Mountaintop enter into a Settlement Agreement with the Division. Such an Agreement
would allow the Division to hold the pending civil penalties and any future civil penalties in abeyance,while
the necessary investments and plant modifications or upgrades can be completed.

Dear Mr. Hartman:
On November 22, 2013, I conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection. You and Brian Sprouse were present
during the inspection. The facility appeared to be in compliance with permit NC0087076. The final pond had a
slope deficiency that needs to be repaired. Although the inspection was for the wastewater system we did
discuss your stormwater sampling as well. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional
observations and comments related to both permits. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspector visited most of the site with Brian Sprouse and Larry Hartman, whose time was greatly
appreciated.
An area that needed improvement was the side slope of the final pond. By the discharge point a side slope
of the pond had sloughed off and was in need of repair. We discussed repairing the slope and determining if
the ponds needed to be cleaned out as well.
This facility is covered by a wastewater NPDES permit(NC0087076)and a stormwater NPDES permit
(NCG210136). This inspection was related to the wastewater permit, however the stormwater permit
outfalls were also observed and discussed. The following comments are to assist the permittee with proper
stormwater sampling. Stormwater Discharge Outfall (SDO)#2, #3 and#4 likely need to be reviewed based
on discussions. SDO#4 needs to capture the stormwater flows from the drainage trench between the main
manufacturing building and the veneer unloading building. SDO#2 and#3 cannot be sampled in the
stream. All stormwater samples have to be sampled at the end of pipe, prior to joining the receiving
waterbody, and within the first 30 minutes of the stormwater discharging.
Also discussed was the need for the wastewater permit. Mr. Sprouse stated it is rare for this system to
discharge; basically only during extremely heavy rainfall years, which this year was one. The prior
wastewater discharge event was 2009.

Inspection Date: .11/19/2013 Inspection Type: Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Present during the inspection were Larry Carver(Backup ORC), Steve Basney(ORC, retiring), Brant Sikes(PWD).
The time of those present during the inspection and the efforts of all involved in managing this system are appreciated.
A new ORC designation sheet was received in the Asheville office listing Robert Hooper as ORC.
Overall the program appeared to be in good shape. However,there were a couple areas noted during the inspection that
need improvement;the map, reviewing of logs,the audio alarm at Perry St. pump station, and the development of an
annual report for the program. On 11/6/2013 staff were emailed templates of all essential record keeping documents
(wwcs operational logs package). The staff should go over these to see if they would benefit from using these documents.
General info discussed:
Walmart center is a new pump station.
The hospital pump station has been rehabilitated with a new force main. The Catawba and Finley pump stations were
rehabilitated with the WWTP project.
The Walmart, Catawba and Finley pump stations have the most maintenance associated with grease.They require more
pumping and interaction with users. Also used as part of the grease maintenance program is a product called Eagle Pure.
The Clinchfield pump station has dated components making it a likely priority for rehabilitation.
The Sugar Hill St. line is new.
The East Court St. line Preliminary Engineering Report has been approved by the Infrastructure Finance Section. It was
unclear at the time of the inspection if the City will be able to meet the milestones listed in the approval letter.
Discussed during the inspection was the tactic of taking instream bacteria samples as a tool. Concerns were noted about
reporting requirements. However, samples of this nature are not required to be reported. Refer to 15A NCAC 26.0506
(b)(3)(J)-"The results of all tests on the characteristics of the effluent, including but not limited to NPDES Permit
Monitoring Requirements, shall be reported on monthly report forms". If the City did further instream sampling above
and/or below their WWTP discharge that data would need to be reported, however sampling various streams as a '�
collection system tool to evaluate instream bacteria levels does not have to be reported on the monitoring reports(DMR). J
Suggestion: Focus on I&I.The WWTP has been having effluent limit violations for much of 2013. Even though 2013 has
been a historical year for precipitation, it still appears the Marion collection system is having Inflow and Infiltration (I&I)
problems. Fines are accumulating relating to these effluent violations; monies would be better spent assessing and
resolving I&I problems.

In order to keep the main map from getting too busy it is suggested that pump station name and capacity be
added.
We discussed the use of"working maps".These maps can be used annually and be a living document of
actions and information directly associated with certain lines. Therefore,the remainder of the items noted
above should be added to the working maps either as a side note or directly on the line.
Ideally there should also be an electronic version of the entire system with layers showing all pertinent
information to assist future inspectors and more importantly as a planning tool for the city.
