Dear Mr. Reese:
On April 9, 2019, Isaiah Reed from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral and
Land Resources (DEMLR), visited the subject site located at 99 Old Patton Cove Road in Swannanoa,
Buncombe County, North Carolina. The site inspection and file review revealed that Smokey Mountain
Pallet, Inc. has neither applied for, nor obtained coverage under, NPDES General Permit No. NCG210000
(Lumber and Wood Products) for stormwater discharges from the site. The site currently discharges
stormwater affected by processes on site to receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary of the
Swannanoa River, a Class C waterbody in the French Broad River Basin. The site also discharges
stormwater affected by processes on site to Patton Cove Creek, a Class C waterbody in the French Broad
River Basin.
A Notice of Violation dated April 24, 2019 was sent to Smokey Mountain Pallet, Inc, and was received at
the facility on May 6, 2019.

any future violations are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each
