Dear Ms. Whitmore:
A review of NC Outward Bound School's WWTP monitoring report for April 2011 showed the
following violations:
Parameter Date Limit Value Reported Value Limit Type

Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problem. Since the
comments section on the reverse of the relevant DMR provided an adequate explanation for the Fecal coliform
violation, it is not requested that a response be submitted. However, if the above parameters for pH and
Temperature were left off inadvertently, please send an amended DMR within 10 business days of
receipt of this letter to Raleigh at the address found on the front page of your DMR and also a copy to

SUBJECT: Balsam Lake/Fields Dam
Jackson County
Response deadline: January 3,2012 ;
Dear Mr. Hicks:
On June 20, 2011, Susan A. Wilson from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality(DWQ) conducted a site inspection at Balsam Lake Dam in Jackson County. David
McHenry from NC Wildlife Resources Commission was also present during the site inspection.
At the time of inspection the lake was drained and a tributary had cut through the lake bed. The
tributary banks were sloughing off and unstable. Large sediment deposits were noted below the
dam into Wolf Creek, as Class WS-III, Trout, High Quality Water(HQW) stream in the Little
Tennessee River Basin. Due to the topography and limited access, Ms. Wilson could not
determine the length of potential sediment impact downstream.
Ms. Wilson contacted Mr. Barry Jones of your office to discuss the situation and was informed
about the USFS efforts to obtain funding to repair the dam. The DWQ understands that funding
has been secured and that the USFS has submitted repair plans to the NC Division of Land
Resources for approval.
The DWQ does have concerns regarding the lack of notification after discovery of the problem that
lead to the draining of the lake. In that regard, the DWQ would like to know the following:
1. How/when did the problem with the dam occur? When did the USFS have knowledge of
the problem?
2. What was the source of the problem at the dam?
3. Why was the DWQ not notified of the problem and loss of sediment?
4. Did the USFS evaluate downstream of the dam to determine the length of sediment impact?

5. Are there access points below the dam where sediment could be removed?
6. After the lake was drained, why didn't the USFS stabilize the exposed area of the lake
and/or take measures to prevent further sediment loss?
7. What is the estimated time frame for repair of the dam?
8. Please state what procedures are in place to ensure that the DWQ, as well as the resource
agencies (NC Wildlife Resources, US F &WS), are notified should a problem of this nature
occur at this USFS lake or another. A list of the state's Regional Office and phone
numbers are attached to this letter. Under normal conditions for draining of lakes/repair of
dams, DWQ works closely with lake owners to ensure a minimal loss of sediment during
draining and repair(and would do so with the Forest Service if assistance is needed).
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please be aware that in-stream sediment constitutes a
water quality violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211(3)(f)—Stream Standard Violation—Other Waste.
At this time,the DWQ has chosen not to send a Notice of Violation to the USFS, but to work
cooperatively to ensure that these problems do not occur in the future.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters,please contact me or Ms. Wilson at(828)

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Jeff Menzel, Surface Water Section-Asheville Regional Office, met Mr. Dicky Webster at Stanley
Furniture Co. on November 21,2011 to conduct a stormwater inspection at the site in Graham County. Stanley Furniture
manufactures,finishes, and packages furniture to ship worldwide.
The site is fairly flat(orignally built by another industry several decades ago)-likely wetlands/streams that were previously
present have been previously filled/re-routed (and serve as stormwater conveyances).
Stormwater records were well kept. Monitoring was being performed as required. Stormwater discharge outfall (SDO)01
runs across the front(east side)of the property and receives runoff from activities at the front of the plant and flows north.
SDO 02 captures stormwater from the left side of the plant(south)and back of the plant(west)and flows through
captured drop inlets to a stormwater detention basin and ultimately to Long Creek. Stanley Furniture should continue to
perform qualitative monitoring and inspection on these outfalls.
SDO 03 only results from a continual minor discharge from the recirculating pumps associated with fire storage water.
There is no stormwater associated with this outfall (that is associated with the industrial process). This small discharge
flows out the back(east)side of the property and never reaches Long creek(Long Creek is at least 200 ft from the
origination of this outfall near the water storage tanks). Stanley Furniture may discontinue stormwater monitoring of this
discharge if they wish.
No adverse water quality impacted was noted from the outfalls(SDO 02 has some flow; SDO 01 had no flow).
Approximately 114-1/2 inch of rain had fallen the night prior to the inspection.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention
of:
Pretreatment Emergency Response and-Collection Systems Unit - -- - - -- - -
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

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

i.
.1ation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
,atement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the
Division of Water Quality 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 14313-282.1(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
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 Quality 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 Quality also requests that

SUBJECT: Sediment Removal Plan Approval
Unimin Corporation Schoolhouse Quartz
Permit No: NCGO2O795
Avery County
Dear Messrs.:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received correspondence from Clearwater Environmental
Consultants dated November 30, 2011, in response to the inspection letter dated October 18, 2011.
The consultant's correspondence responded in part to the DWQ inspection letter and proposed a
plan for the removal of sediment from an Unnanmed Tributary to Brushy Creek. Management
practices implemented by Unimin to reduce further sediment impacts and turbid waters to this
tributary were also noted in the correspondence. The sediment plan proposes to remove sediment
manually along the lower(below haul road) 1,000 linear feet of the tributary. The upper (above
haul road) 1,000 linear feet of the tributary is also impacted with sediment but it is requested that a
temporary check dam be installed and maintained just upstream of the haul road to capture
migrating sediment. This instream structure is requested because Unimin plans to apply for
permanent mining impacts to the upper segment of the tributary.
The remedial actions presented in the correspondence have been found satisfactory and are
approved,however downstream turbidity controls should be deployed during sediment removal.
Sediment removal activities involved in this approval, as well as submittal of the final report, are to
be completed within forty five (45) days of this approval letter. Furthermore, if application for the
permanent mining impacts is not received by DWQ within six months of this letter then a sediment
removal plan for the upper 1,000 linear feet has to be submitted to DWQ to remediate that section
of the tributary.

General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
1. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
(7)

2. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Any Low Impact Bridge Projects must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to qualify for Low Impact;
otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required. Example(Regional General Permit No.
31,Nationwide Permit No.23,Nationwide Permit No. 13, etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports(bents)should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across
the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers,etc.)before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge
Demolition and Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water
Quality Certification.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft
construction methods.More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without
prior written approval from NCDWQ first.
1
8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface -
waters. This water shall be captured,treated, and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by
NCDWQ in this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge, temporary work bridges,
temporary causeways,or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be
floated into position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position.Under
no circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water.
11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags,rock berms,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
12. If concrete is used during construction,a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
(8)

14. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid
wetland impacts,minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information, please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

II. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification(WQC)
At the time of the site inspection,20 linear feet of culvert had been installed in an un-named
tributary to Flat Creek(Class C; Tr). Additionally,there were 280 linear feet of culvert staged on-
site. A review of records confirmed that neither the DWQ nor the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACOE)has received an application for a 404 Permit or 401 WQC,prior to the impacts noted
above. Such an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Part
15A of North Carolina Administrative Code 2Hs.0500.
III. Removal of Best Usage- 15A NCAC 0211.0211 (2)—Approximately 300 linear feet of an un-
named tributary to Flat Creek(Class C; Tr)was impacted by excavation representing Water Quality
Stream Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211(2).

On November 22, 2011, Kevin Barnett of the Division of Water Quality, Asheville Regional
Office, performed a site inspection at your facility located off Lyle Downs Road in Macon
County.
The site was unoccupied at the time of inspection, so no file review was performed. It was
discovered during the inspection,that the processing area was unstable and was a source of
sediment to an un-named tributary to Little Tennessee River(Class: B), as was a waste spoils pile
on the opposite side of the creek from the process area. Downstream of the process area were
two ponds which were turbid and contained settled sediments. (one of these ponds may be
offsite on the Tomaszkiewicz property)
A plan to evaluate the streams and ponds,both on and off site must be submitted to the attention
of Kevin Barnett, at the letterhead address. In addition to the stream evaluation,you must also
include a sediment removal plan for any lost material to surface waters (streams and ponds).
This must include the following
a. The Plan must address removal of accumulated sediment from all surface waters.
You must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to
assist you with developing your Plan; and obtaining any necessary approvals. It is
recommended that your consultant contact Kevin Barnett of the Asheville
Regional Office for additional guidance during Plan development. The Plan
should include:

2. NCDWQ has no specific comments for this bridge project.
General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
1. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
2. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Any Bridge considered a Low Impact Bridge Project must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to
qualify for Low Impact; otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required. Example
(Regional General Permit No. 31,Nationwide Permit No. 23,Nationwide Permit No. 13, etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports(bents) should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across
the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers,etc.)before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge
Demolition and Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401. Water
Quality Certification.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft
construction methods.More specifically,jetting or,other methods of pile driving are prohibited without
prior written approval from NCDWQ first.
8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface
waters. This water shall be captured,treated,and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by
NCDWQ in this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge, temporary work bridges,
temporary causeways,or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be
floated into position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under
no circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water.
(15)

11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags,rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
12. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
14. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with t'
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid --
wetland impacts,minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information,please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.
