The sewer system in Carolina Plantations serves 819 customers. Carolina Plantations' sewer system was installed and is owned by Carolina Plantation Development Corporation (Developer), which has been providing the sewer service. The water service is provided by the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority. The Division of Water Quality of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DWQ) issued Permit No. WQ0033770 dated April 15, 2009, for the construction and operation of a 300,000 gallon per day wastewater high -rate infiltration and disposal facility at Carolina Plantations. Carolina Plantations' sewer system has experienced some DWQ permit compliance issues, and the Developer desires to transfer operations of the sewer system to a professionally operated, Commission regulated public utility. ONSWC's application requested Commission approval of a sewer residential monthly flat rate of $45 per residential equivalent unit (REU). After the Public Staff's audit and following extensive discussions with the Public Staff, ONSWC amended its application to request residential and commercial monthly flat rates to $38 per REU. The Asset Purchase Agreement between the Developer and ONSWC dated May 31, 2013, states that ONSWC will pay Developer a purchase price of $500 per connection. ONSWC has not applied for a connection fee. On December 30, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Requiring Customer Notice, Approving Temporary Operating Authority and Interim Rates. The interim rates were subject to refund if lesser rates are later approved by the Commission. The Order required that ONSWC provide customer notice and that the notice state that the matter may be decided without a hearing if no significant protests are received within 30 days of delivery of customer notice. The Certificate of Service and Undertaking was filed on January 3, 2014. The customer protest period ended January 30, 2014. Only one protest was received. The Public Staff has stated that it believes that ONSWC has the technical, managerial, and financial capacity to provide sewer utility service to Carolina Plantations Subdivision. ONSWC has filed the required $20,000 bond and the bond was accepted and approved by the Commission. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED as follows: 1. That Old North State Water Company, LLC, is hereby granted a certificate of public convenience and necessity to provide sewer utility service for the Carolina Plantations Subdivision in Onslow County, North Carolina. 2. That Appendix A constitutes the Certificate of Authority for Temporary Operating Authority. 3. That the approved sewer monthly flat rate of $38.00 per residential equivalent unit is the same as the previously approved interim rate. Therefore, no customer refunds are required. 4. That the Schedule of Rates, attached as Appendix B, is approved for ONSWC in Carolina Plantation Subdivision. 5. That the Notice to Customers, attached hereto as Appendix C, be mailed with sufficient postage or hand delivered by ONSWC to all affected customers no later than ten business days after the date of this Order; and that ONSWC shall submit to the Commission the attached Certificate of Service properly signed and notarized not later than 20 days from the date of this Order.

NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION sail �.'C(loum�t Gail L. Mount, Chief Clerk Additional Information for Attachment F — Form HRIS-R 02-21 Permit Renewal Application for Carolina Plantation Permit No. WQ0033770 The average daily flow for Carolina Plantation Wastewater Treatment Plant for 2020 exceeded the flow limitation in the subject permit. However, it was noted that the plant piping at the effluent flow meter was causing inaccuracies in the effluent flow measurements. An existing 90-degree bend was removed and a tee was installed in its place to vent the piping, and this modification allowed the flowmeter to accurately measure and record the effluent flows. There have been no exceedances of the permitted monthly flow limit since the piping modification was made. This piping change and the resulting reduction in measured flows was documented to the Wilmington regional office in an October 12, 2020, letter from Old North State Water Company. Although the corrected flows are now averaging more than 90% of the permitted flows, it must be noted that the Carolina Plantation development is fully constructed. There are no additional sources of wastewater proposed for the Carolina Plantation Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based on current flows now being less than the rated capacity of the treatment plant and there being no plans for additional influent flows, Old North State Water Company does not propose to expand the existing treatment facility and is therefore not pursuing any permits or approvals for a plant expansion.

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 stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources 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 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfuIIy 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 (5) 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 Water Resources 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 Ri ht to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thi 30days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also re uests that you coml2lete and submit the enclosed "Justif cation for Remission Request."

PIease 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.

The discharge line had a 90 degree elbow on the discharge line, just after the effluent box inside the plant. The elbow was not allowing a smootII flow of water through the meter because of the vacuum created in the pipe. A "T was installed on the discharge line and allows the water to flow smoothly and evenly from the discharge.
