Paterson Partner t: 704.335.9891 f: 704.335.4456 fernpaterson@parkerpoe.com July 16, 2021 Via Certified Mail Nathaniel Thornburg NC DEQ / DWR / ND Permitting Section 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Atlanta, GA Charleston, SC Charlotte, NC Columbia, SC Greenville, SC Raleigh, NC Spartanburg, SC Washington, DC Re: Remission Request (Case No.: PC-2021-0028) Wallace Loft, LLC; The Cottages of Boone - Wastewater Irrigation System Permit No. WQ0035784; Watauga County Dear Mr. Thornburg: By way of this letter, we respectfully seek a reduction in the proposed civil penalty of $22,621.33 in the above -referenced case on behalf of our client, Wallace Loft, LLC ("Wallace Loft"), which owns and operates The Cottages of Boone ("The Cottages"). Specifically, Wallace Lofts requests a reduction in the civil penalty on the grounds that: (1) Wallace Lofts has taken additional actions, beyond the actions described in the Wallace Loft's response to the Notice of Violation dated April 8, 2021 (the "Response") to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences, as described further below; and (2) the release of treated wastewater was inadvertent. Various supporting materials are attached to this written remission request, including the Justification for Remission Request Form and Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts, which are provided in Attachment A. We genuinely appreciate your consideration of this written request and the information attached, and request an appropriate reduction in the civil penalty assessed in this matter. Wallace Loft Took Prompt Action to Correct the Violation and Prevent Future Occurrences. In its Response dated April 8, 2021, which is attached hereto as Attachment B, Wallace Lofts indicated that it would continue to review and evaluate options to address the limited wet weather storage capacity at The Cottages, whether through permitting or other alternatives identified through further analysis. As promised, Wallace Lofts identified and is in the process of implementing additional response actions, including: (1) implementing water efficiency measures at The Cottages with the goal of reducing water usage by greater than 40%; and (2) re -submittal of an application for a Conjunctive Use permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") program requesting authorization to discharge up to 35,000 gallons per day (0.035 MGD) to Laurel Fork only when necessary to prevent bypass of existing wet weather storage during periods of extended inclement weather. Additional information is provided below: PPAB 6432838v1 Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP 620 South Tryon Street Suite 800 Charlotte, NC 28202 t 704.372.9000 f 704.334.4706 www.parkerpoe.com July 16, 2021 Page 2 Water Efficiency Measures. Wallace Lofts engaged Navitas Equity Solutions ("Navitas") to evaluate available water efficiency upgrades at The Cottages with a goal of reducing water usage, and associated demands on the wastewater treatment plant, wet weather storage, and irrigation fields. Navitas identified the following available water efficiency measures, as further described in the proposal provided in Attachment Cl.- Water Efficiency Measure Associated Cost Replace existing toilets with high -efficiency, 0.8 $295,020 gallon/flush toilets Install high -efficiency, 0.5 gallon/minute aerators in $14,751 existing bathroom sinks Install high -efficiency, 1.25 gallon/minute aerators in $24,585 existing showerheads Install high -efficiency, 1.0 gallon/minute aerators in $5,775 existing kitchen sinks Install in -unit water meters to quickly and efficiently identify $86,625 and repair potential leaks in residential units Total Cost: $426,756 Navitas estimates the proposed water efficiency measures will cumulatively reduce water usage at The Cottages by greater than 40%. Wallace Lofts will implement the water reduction measures in the third calendar quarter with a goal of completing implementation by September 30, 2021. Re -Submittal of Wallace Loft's Application for a Conjunctive Use NPDES Permit. Between December 2020 through February 2021 (i.e., the period prior to and during the WWTP bypass), the actual total volume of overflow of wet weather storage at the wastewater treatment plant exceeded 3 million gallons, including greater than 1 million gallons that were pumped and hauled to the Town of Boone's municipal wastewater treatment facility. In coordination with Odom Engineering, Wallace Lofts analyzed the wet weather storage needs during this period assuming a 40% reduction in water usage, consistent with the water efficiency reduction goals listed above.' Assuming a 40% reduction in water usage is achieved, the total overage is significantly reduced to just over 1.1 million gallons. In other short, even with the implementation of water efficiency measures, Wallace Lofts anticipates that The Cottages could potentially experience future wet weather storage capacity shortages during extended periods of cold, wet weather in the winter months. To address the remaining overage, Wallace Lofts worked with Odom Engineering to update and re -submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis ("EEA") on July 12, 2021, and reapply for the NPDES Conjunctive Use Permit. NCDEQ returned the Wallace Loft's original application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use on January 19, 2021 due to deficiencies it identified in the Engineering Alternatives Analysis ("EAX). The Wallace Lofts and Odom Engineering updated the EAA per feedback from NCDEQ including, without limitation the evaluation and ' See Appendices B and C of the revised Engineering Alternatives Analysis ("EAA") submitted to NCDEQ on July 12, 2021, and attached to this request as Attachment D. PPAB 64328380 July 16, 2021 Page 3 implementation of the water efficiency measures described above. The updated EAA is provided as Attachment D. In addition to including the water efficiency measures described above, the following alternatives were evaluated, as detailed in the attached EAA: (1) added storage capacity/deemed infeasible due to topographical constraints; (2) increased irrigation rates and/or expanding irrigation areas/deemed ineffective due to the same inclement weather issues leading to the January -February 2021 event'; (3) tying to the Town's public utilities/deemed infeasible due to political constraints; and (4) covering the existing wet storage tank/deemed ineffective. As described in the updated EAA, Wallace Lofts only seeks authorization to discharge treated wastewater to Laurel Fork when necessary to avoid an overflow of the existing wet weather storage, during periods of extended inclement weather. Further, Wallace Lofts only seeks a maximum discharge rate during these applicable period of 35,000 gallons/day (0.035 MGD). Except during these periods of limited discharge to Laurel Fork, The Cottages would continue to land -apply treated wastewater to the irrigation fields pursuant Permit No. WQ0035784. The Release of Treated Wastewater Was Inadvertent and Wallace Loft Took Substantial Actions to Prevent the Occurrence In its April 8, 2021 response, Wallace Loft included a discussion of the circumstances of the bypass and numerous actions that it took prior to and during the bypass to show that the bypass was inadvertent and not reasonably preventable. Rather that rehash that discussion here, we have attached the Response as Attachment B, and incorporate the discussion by reference. A brief summary of the key discussions in the Response are also identified below: Weather & Inability to Irrigate. Inclement weather leading up to and during the event, allowing only minimal irrigation, for a 3-month period, as follows: o December 2020. Minimum temperatures in December, were consistently below freezing, only increasing above 32 OF on December 12 (37 OF), December 13 (38 OF), and December 22 (33 OF). o January 2021. In the days leading up to the beginning of the bypass on January 10, it rained 7 out of 10 days. Minimum temperatures remained freezing from January 4 through January 26. Cumulative precipitation in January totaled more than 18 inches of rain or snow, and there was snow cover at The Cottages for 16 out of the 31 days of the month. o February 2021. Minimum temperatures only chimed above freezing on two days (February 14 at 35 OF and February 26 at 33 OF). Between February 1 and February 22, when the bypass ended, there were 13 days of rain or snow, and 8 days of snow cover at The Cottages. 2 In support of the updated EAA, the Wallace Loft also engaged a soil scientist to evaluate whether existing irrigation rates may be increased and/or irrigation areas may be expanded. That report is currently pending. However, the existing irrigation rates and area are more than sufficient to support the WWTP outside the periods of extended inclement weather in the winter months, and Wallace Loft and Odom Engineering determined that increasing irrigation rates and/or areas would not resolve the overage issues during these periods. In hopes of obtaining the requested NPDES Conjunctive Use Permit prior to winter, the EAA was submitted the soil survey pending, and be updated with the results of the soil survey upon receipt. PPAB 64328380 July 16, 2021 Page 4 Pump/Haul Operation & Iced -Over Roads. Between January 4 and March 23, Wallace Loft pumped and hauled a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater to the Town of Boone's wastewater treatment facility, costing a total of $155,400, and would have pumped and hauled more but for iced roads. Haul trucks were not able to access The Cottages at all between January 10 (when the bypass began) and January 18. Wallace Loft attempted to keep road clear by acquiring a mini excavator, placing fresh gravel, and contracting a snowplow vendor, but weather and road conditions continued to hamper and slow Wallace Loft's pump and haul efforts throughout the event. Increased Water Usage Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Water usage at The Cottages nearly doubled after onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 and associated work-at-home/stay-at-home orders. Daily water usage averaged approximately 36,000 GPD in March 2020, and climbed to approximately 78,000 GPD in February 2021. The Cottages hit a maximum daily usage of 112,600 GPD on February 18. The irrigation fields are able to meet the increased wastewater production rates during warmer months, but The Cottages was not able to keep up with the increased rates and avoid the bypass during the extended period of inclement weather between December 2020 and February 2021. Efforts to Obtain a NPDES Conjunctive Use Permit. Wallace Loft engaged Odom Engineering ("Odom") in October 2019 to assist with the wet weather storage issues at The Cottages. Odom confirmed that operational challenges at the WWTP tracked the weather, and Odom and Wallace Loft determined to apply to NCDEQ for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit that would allow The Cottages to directly discharge treated wastewater to Laurel Fork, a small stream on property adjacent to the existing WWTP. Wallace Loft applied for and was issued approved speculative effluent limits for a 0.1 MGD NPDES Conjunctive Use permit on January 10, 2020. Wallace Loft also applied for and received a zoning consistency determination for the requested NPDES Conjunctive Use permit from Watauga County on April 27, 2020. However, NCDEQ returned Wallace Loft's application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit on January 19, 2021 after raising concerns regarding the original EAA. As discussed in detail above, Wallace Loft submitted a revised EAA addressing NCDEQ's concerns on July 12, 2021, along with an updated NPDES application form and fee, to continue pursuing the requested NPDES Conjunctive Use Permit. In sum, Wallace Loft requests a reduction in the assessed civil penalty on the grounds that it is implementing response actions to prevent any future occurrences of the wet weather storage overflow and treated wastewater discharge that occurred in January -February 2021, including implementation water reduction measures at a cost of greater than $400,000, and revision and resubmittal of the EAA in support of is request for a NPDES Conjunctive Use Permit. Wallace Loft has also described the circumstances of the event, showing that the bypass was entirely inadvertent and not the result of any wanton or willful conduct.

As you know, The Cottages holds a permit (Permit No. WQ0035784) to operate a non - discharge wastewater irrigation system. The Permit authorizes the operation of a 108,530 gallon per day (GPD) wastewater treatment and irrigation facility (the "WWTP"). The WWTP uses a drip irrigation system consisting of approximately 14.39 acres of irrigation area with a mixed hardwood and pine forest cover crop, and serves 894 bedrooms, as well as a pool, fitness center, and The Cottage's administrative and clubhouse employees. As previously reported to NCDEQ, a bypass of the WWTP occurred between January 10, 2021 and February 22, 2021. In this letter, we provide additional information regarding the weather and conditions leading up to and during the previously reported bypass, on -going storage capacity challenges with the WWTP during the wet and cold winter months, efforts to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Conjunctive Use permit allowing the direct discharge to Laurel Fork to resolve storage capacity issues, and the status of The Cottages continuing efforts to obtain a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit. We respectfully request NCDEQ's consideration of the circumstances of the bypass, as well The Cottage's continuing good faith efforts to resolve the WWTP operating challenges described further herein, and hope that the NOV can be resolved without the need for enforcement. PPAB 6221610v2.docx Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP 620 South Tryon Street Suite 800 Charlotte, NC 28202 t 704.372.9000 f 704.334.4706 www.parkerpoe.com April 8, 2021 Page 2 Circumstances Surrounding the Incident Tables providing daily details of the WWTP operation for December 2020 through February 2021, including inflow and irrigation rates, temperatures, and precipitation rates, are provided in Attachment A. As shown in the tables, minimum temperatures throughout December were consistently below freezing, only increasing above 32 OF on December 12 (37 OF), December 13 (38 OF), and December 22 (33 OF). In addition, snow cover at the Cottages from a 3" snow event on December 25 lasted for four days. In January, and the days leading up to the beginning of the bypass on January 10, it rained 7 out of 10 days, and minimum temperatures were below 32 OF from January 4 through January 26. In addition to freezing temperatures and cumulative precipitation totaling more than 18 inches of rain or snow in January, there was snow cover at the Cottages for 16 out of the 31 days of the month. Inclement weather continued into February, with only two days with minimum temperatures climbing above the freezing point (February 14 at 35 OF and February 26 at 33 OF). Between February 1 and February 22, when the bypass ended, there were 13 days of rain or snow, and 8 days of snow cover at The Cottages. In an effort to avoid a bypass, Wallace Loft arranged for pumping and hauling of excess treated effluent on or around January 4. Between January 4 and March 23, a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater was pumped and hauled from the WWTP to the Town of Boone's wastewater treatment facility (the "Town"), with an associated total cost of $155,400 incurred by Wallace Loft. However, worsening weather conditions on January 10 prevented haul trucks from accessing The Cottages, which is located 3,400' above mean sea level. The bypass of treated wastewater began on January 10. Photographs of the iced -over roads are provided below: &-. ft. - PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 3 Pump and haul operations restarted when roads were sufficiently clear on January 18. The Cottages acquired a mini excavator, placed fresh gravel on the roads, and contracted a snowplow vendor to attempt to keep access to the wet weather storage tanks open for trucks. Throughout the event and after, The Cottages pumped and hauled wastewater to the Town to minimize the total bypass to the extent that it was able. Despite best efforts, The Cottages was only able to land apply wastewater from the WWTP at the irrigation fields on one day in January (January 3), and was not able to land apply wastewater again until February 24. In addition to the challenges presented by inclement weather, The Cottages have experienced significant increases in water usage and wastewater inflow rates in association with the Coronavirus pandemic and associated stay-at-home and work -at-home orders. Governor Roy Cooper issued Executive Order 121 on March 27, 2020, ordering people in the state of North Carolina to stay at home for thirty days. The Order took effect on March 30, 2020. During the month of March 2020, before the stay-at-home order took effect, the average daily water usage at The Cottages was 36,381 gallons/day. By comparison, in February 2021, as residents continue to abide by subsequent stay-at-home and work -at-home orders, average water usage has increased to an average of 78,006 gallons/day, with a maximum daily usage of 112,600 gallons/day on February 18, 2021. In short, as residents continue to stay at home, cook at home, and recreate at home in response to the on -going coronavirus pandemic, The Cottages has experienced an approximate doubling of water usage. The wastewater system has been able to meet the increased water usage and wastewater production rates during warmer months without issue. However, with inclement weather preventing irrigation of treated wastewater and iced -over access roads preventing the Cottages from pumping and hauling wastewater to the Town, the WWTP was not able to keep up with the increased wastewater production and avoid the bypass. Additional information regarding the storage capacity at the WWTP, and the feasibility of adding storage capacity, is discussed further below in relation to the efforts to permit a solution to the WWTP issues during the cold and wet winter months. Efforts to Obtain a NPDES Coniunctive Use Permit for the WWTP. The WWTP began operating in 2013. In the first several years of operation, The Cottages found that properly treating and disposing of effluent during the wet winter months, frequently with freezing temperatures, presented greater -than -expected challenges. Wallace Loft engaged Odom Engineering ("Odom") in October 2019 to assist with the challenges experienced at the WWTP. Odom's analysis confirmed that operational challenges at the WWTP tracked the weather, with the system running out of storage capacity during high precipitation and freezing weather periods in and around January through March, as shown in Figure 1 below. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 4 Figure 1. Comparison of Weather Trends and Remaining WWTP Storage Capacity Generally, daily inflow to the WWTP varies from 20,000-50,000 GPD. As described further above, daily averages during the 2020-2021 Coronavirus pandemic have approximately doubled as residents remain home in accordance with Gov. Cooper's various stay-at-home and work -at- home orders. Daily irrigation rates vary more widely, from nothing (on days when weather precludes drip irrigation of wastewater to the irrigation fields), to well above 100,000 GPD. Importantly, on good weather days, The Cottages can, and frequently does, apply treated effluent to the irrigation fields at rates at and above 100,000 GPD. Wet weather storage at WWTP includes a 1,560,000-gallon bolted steel tank that provides a 14-day capacity for wet weather storage at the maximum design capacity, and a 548,439 million gallon 5-day upset tank for emergency conditions, which also may be used for additional wet weather storage. Although The Cottages narrowly managed to avoid exceeding the storage capacity of the WWTP during the winter months of the first few years of operation, The Cottages has repeatedly needed to obtain authorizations to haul and dispose of excess effluent to the Town to prevent system overflow and bypass. Attachment B to this letter provides daily details of inflow to the WWTP and irrigation rates by field during March 2020, a sample month that saw significant and frequent precipitation and freezing temperatures. The Table in the attachment shows that, on good irrigation days, the WWTP is achieving irrigation rates at or above 100,000 GPD. Despite best efforts demonstrated by irrigation flow rates shown in the March 2020 summary, the WWTP did run out of storage capacity in March 2020, and was required to pump and haul wastewater to Town of Boone's WWTP to avoid a bypass. In 2020, the Cottages pumped and hauled 569,500 gallons of wastewater to the Town at a cost of $73,500. In 2021, between January 4 and March 23, The Cottages pumped and hauled a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater to the Town at a cost of $155,400, and The Cottages would have pumped and hauled even more wastewater if weather and roads had allowed. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 5 Odom also evaluated the cost and feasibility of increasing the existing wet weather storage capacity of the WWTP by adding a 2,000,000-gallon capacity, bolted steel storage tank (86' diameter by 24' height). Due to the mountainous terrain at The Cottages, installing the additional storage tank would require blasting to remove rock and grading, as well as the construction of a retaining wall around the tank. Overall, Odom estimates the construction cost for the new tank would total more than $1.9 million (or up to $2.2 million with a 25% construction and engineering contingency). Aerial photographs showing the proposed plans and an estimated cost schedule prepared by Odom are provided in Attachment C. Further, it is uncertain whether a 2,000,000- gallon capacity tank would provide adequate storage for a non -discharge WWTP given the extended periods of precipitation and frozen temperatures experienced at The Cottages during recent winters. Connecting The Cottages' WWTP to the Town of Boone's municipal system was also deemed to be technically infeasible due to, among other things, the prerequisite annexation and zoning requirements under the Town's existing ordinances. Odom and Wallace Loft therefore determined to apply to NCDEQ for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit that would allow The Cottages to directly discharge treated wastewater to Laurel Fork, a small stream on property adjacent to the existing WWTP. Note that the purpose of the permit was only to allow the Cottages to directly discharge to Laurel Fork during periods of inclement weather when land application of treated wastewater through the drip irrigation system is not available and wet weather storage capacity is exhausted. In pursuit of the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit, Wallace Loft applied for and was issued approved speculative effluent limits for a 0.1 MGD NPDES Conjunctive Use permit on January 10, 2020. Odom also applied for and received a zoning consistency determination for the requested NPDES Conjunctive Use permit from Watauga County on April 27, 2020. The Cottages submitted its application for the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit, including an Engineering Alternatives Analysis ("EAX) prepared by Odom, on May 20, 2020. In the fall and winter of 2020, NCDEQ raised questions and requested additional information regarding the EAA, and ultimately returned the application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit to Wallace Loft in a letter dated January 19, 2021. In follow-up correspondence from Nathaniel Thornburg, Branch Chief of NCDEQ's Non -Discharge Branch, NCDEQ indicated that the following specific analyses should be conducted to further evaluate to potential non -discharge option prior to submitting a revised application for the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit: (1) reducing the amount of generated inflow to the WWTP; (2) increasing storage capacity of the WWTP; (3) increasing the irrigation area of the WWTP; and (4) increasing the loading rate to the existing irrigation areas. Odom and The Cottages are gathering information to provide responses to these four items. In particular, a soil scientist has been engaged to evaluate the existing irrigation fields and whether there is any potential to increase land application rates at the existing irrigation fields or expand the irrigation areas. The soil scientist's report and findings should be complete by mid -May. Importantly, Odom and The Cottages believe that the existing WWTP provides more than sufficient irrigation area for the permitted design capacity of the WWTP, provided weather allows for the land application of treated wastewater. The limiting factor and root cause of the WWTP overflows has been, and continues to be, the lack of sufficient storage capacity during periods of frequent or sustained precipitation and/or freezing weather in the winter months. As discussed above, the estimated cost to install an additional 2,000,000-gallon capacity storage tank is between $2 million and $2.2 million. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 6 Further, Odom and The Cottages continue to believe that permitting the direct discharge of treated wastewater to Laurel Creek during the limited periods of inclement weather when the WWTP's wet weather storage capacity is exceeded is the appropriate path forward. Indeed, had The Cottage's efforts to obtain the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit in 2020 been successful, the WWTP would have been authorized to lawfully discharge wastewater in accordance with the standards and requirements established in the permit, and avoid the bypass that is the subject of this NOV. Pending the results of the soil scientist's report and further analysis on available storage capacity options, Odom and The Cottages anticipate submitting the updated information and analyses to NCDEQ. Odom and The Cottages are hoping to submit an updated and revised application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit that addresses NCDEQ's questions in concerns in or around June 2021. Further Odom and The Cottages are committed to working with NCDEQ to obtain a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit to allow for the lawful discharge of wastewater during periods when the WWTP's wet weather storage capacity is exceeded as a result of inclement weather. With proper operation of the WWTP and the improved weather, The Cottages does not anticipate any further shortage of storage capacity until winter weather returns. In the meantime, the Cottages and Odom will make every effort resolve the issue, whether through permitting or other alternatives identified through further analysis.

Executive Summary The Cottages of Boone ("The Cottages") WWTP seeks a conjunctive use discharge permit to allow discharge of treated effluent to Laurel Fork, a stream near the WWTP, to supplement irrigation and on site storage capacity of the existing permitted system. This request seeks authorization to permit the Cottages of Boone WWTP to continue disposal of effluent through irrigation to the maximum extent practical and permissible, and to discharge treated effluent to Laurel Fork only when necessary to prevent overflow and bypass of existing storage, including during periods of extended inclement weather when irrigation fields are not available. Although the system exceeds design capacity requirements for irrigation area and storage capacity for the residents served, in recent years extended periods of inclement weather (precipitation and temperature) has resulted in periods where production exceeds storage and application capacity. During these periods, the WWTP is forced to haul and dispose treated effluent into the Town of Boone WWTP treatment system, at great expense, and with high risk of overflow of the system. This Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) compares various alternatives for providing additional treated effluent disposal capacity to reduce or eliminate the need for over the road hauling and disposal. The Cottages proposes to implement two of the identified alternatives, as follows: Implement water efficiency upgrades, including replacing existing toilets and shower heads, installing aerators in bathroom and kitchen sinks, and installing in -unit water meters to monitor for, identify, and correct leaks. The goal of the proposed water efficiency upgrades, described further herein, is to reduce water usage at The Cottages by greater than 40%. The Cottages will begin implementing the water efficiency upgrades as soon as practicable and plans to complete the upgrades by the end of the third calendar quarter (i.e., September 30, 2021). As discussed further herein, the proposed water use reduction relieves the demand for treated wastewater storage capacity, but would not eliminate overflows during extended periods of inclement weather, as demonstrated based on actual data from January through February 2021. 2. Apply for and obtain a Conjunctive Use NPDES Permit authorizing the limited discharge of treated wastewater from the WWTP to the nearby Laurel Fork when needed to prevent overflow of the treated wastewater storage tank, particularly during periods of extended inclement weather during winter months that prevents irrigation to the existing fields. This alternative will require obtaining an approximately 150-foot easement across an adjoining parcel and the installation of a gravity -flow discharge line. The Cottages proposes to begin implementing the proposed alternative upon receipt of all required permits, including the requested Conjunctive Use NPDES Permit. 11 2. Applicant Information The Cottages of Boone WWTP is located at 615 Fallview Lane, Boone, NC 28607, in Watauga County, North Carolina. The WWTP and irrigation system is operated under Permit No. WQ0035784. The Cottages of Boone WWTP is owned and operated by Wallace Loft, LLC, 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. Phone (828) 865-1800, email info@cottagesofboone.com. This EAA has been prepared by David Odom, P.E., Odom Engineering, PLLC, located at 169 Oak Street, Forest City, NC, 28043. Phone (828) 247-4495, email davidodom@odomengineering.com. 3. Existing Conditions The Cottages of Boone is a residential apartment complex located just outside of the town limits of Boone, in Watauga County, North Carolina. Wallace Loft, LLC, owner of the Cottages of Boone, owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant serving the complex's 894 bedrooms, five administrative/clubhouse employees, a fitness center, and a pool at The Cottages of Boone, under NC DEQ-DWQ Permit No. WQ0035784. This permit is for continued operation of a 108,530 GPD domestic wastewater treatment and irrigation facility, as described in the attached permit. Average three-year flow for the WWTP is 44,000 GPD. Please see figure 1 below, USGS Quadrangle showing the WWTP and proposed discharge location. Water usage rates prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated stay-at-home and work -at home orders, water usage at The Cottages averaged around 36,000 GPD. The water usage approximately increased to about 57,000 GPD during the COVID-19 pandemic with days reaching and exceeding doubled to around 70,000 GPD. Water usage has not dropped off significantly since, and The Cottages believes that water usage could continue to be elevated indefinitely due to societal changes associated with the pandemic. 2 Vip Q�- -IN 13 �7- P, A Rt = S T F A- TJ CL Figure 1 — WWTP and Proposed Discharge Location Currently, disposal of effluent is via drip irrigation system, consisting of approximately 14.39 acres of drip irrigation area with a mixed hardwood and pine forest cover crop. The treatment system complies with 15A NCAC 02T .0506(c). This high level of treatment allows irrigation setbacks from property lines to be reduced to zero feet. The existing system exceeds design capacity for disposal of permitted flow as detailed in the attached permit. A 1,562,000-gallon bolted steel tank provides 14-day capacity for wet weather storage. Irrigation is not appropriate during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that will cause ponding or runoff (i.e., fully saturated or frozen soil surface). As noted, extended periods of freezing temperatures and high precipitation have at times limited irrigation to the extent that production of treated effluent exceeds storage capacity. A permit to haul and dispose treated effluent has been obtained; and during these periods outside contractors must be employed to haul and dispose treated effluent at the Town of Boone WWTP. This situation was especially dire during the most recent winter season, December 2020 through February 2021. Continuous severe weather, in combination with significantly increased wastewater inflow rates in association with the Coronavirus pandemic and associated stay-at-home and work -at-home orders. Water usage at The Cottages during this period was almost double that of the comparable previous year period. Between January 4 and March 23, a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater was pumped and hauled from the WWTP to the Town of Boone's wastewater treatment facility (the "Town"), with an associated total cost of $155,400 incurred by Wallace Loft. However, worsening weather conditions on January 10 prevented haul trucks from accessing The Cottages, which is located 3,400' above mean sea level. A bypass of treated wastewater began on January 10, 2021 and continued until February 22. Additional information related to this bypass is provided in The Cottage's response to the NCDEQ's NOV related to this incident, dated April 8, 2021, and attached here as Appendix A. 4. Flow Projections The Cottages of Boone WWTP serves only this facility and buildout for the complex is complete. Average flows for the previous past three years were 44,000 GPD, but, as noted previously, wastewater inflows were significantly increased in association with the Coronavirus pandemic. Average daily inflow for the December 2020 through February 2021 study period increased to 57,000 GPD. A reduction toward previous use levels would be expected as we exit the pandemic, but there will likely be a lasting increase in wastewater inflows due to societal changes associated with the pandemic. Additionally, The Cottages has contracted a specialist to design and fast -track implement a water conservation program with a stated goal of greater than 40% reduction of water use. This conservation program is presented (and recommended) as one of the suggested alternatives herein, and The Cottages proposes to begin implementing the proposed water efficiency measures as soon as practicable, and complete implementation by the end of 3Q21. However, as discussed further below, the water efficiency measures do not eliminate the need for the requested conjunctive use permit. In view of these unknowns regarding flow projections, the conservative approach is to use the winter 2020-2021 study period flows, and the current 3-year average daily flows where applicable. r1 5. Alternatives Analysis Alternatives considered include the following: 1. Do nothing. Continue to pump and haul when irrigation and storage capacity is exceeded. 2. Conjunctive use permit (preferred). Irrigate when conditions permit, discharge to Laurel Fork only as necessary to prevent overcapacity condition. 3. Connect to municipal system for disposal of untreated effluent. 4. Increase on -site storage. 5. Reduce generated wastewater. 6. Cover tanks to eliminate precipitation inputs. 7. Increase irrigation area and or increase loading rate on existing irrigation areas. Each alternative is evaluated to determine the following: • Whether it is technically feasible, • Whether it is expected to provide a practical alternative to direct discharge, and • Whether it would be cost prohibitive to implement relative to a direct discharge alternative. Assumptions: For comparison purposes this study will analyze overall cost of handling wastewater inflow from The Cottages of Boone, including collection, treatment, through to final disposal of effluent. Relatively equal treatment process costs exist in all considered alternatives except for the Municipal Connection, where costs associated with onsite treatment reduced to maintenance of the lift station. For present worth valuation of alternatives, a 20-year facility lifespan is assumed with a 2.5% current EPA discount rate. Winter 2020-2021 study period flows and weather conditions are used in the comparative analyses. The alternatives considered are each discussed individually below. 5.1 Do Nothing Alternative Under this alternative, The Cottages of Boone WWTP will continue to pump and haul when irrigation and storage capacity are exceeded. Wet weather storage at the WWTP includes a 1,560,000-gallon bolted steel tank that provides a 14-day capacity for wet weather storage at the maximum design capacity, and a 548,439 million gallon 5-day upset tank for emergency conditions, which also may be used for additional wet weather storage. Wet weather storage capacity has proven to be sufficient for the spring, summer, and fall seasons, when irrigation is not limited by freezing conditions or saturated soils from precipitation. Annual costs for the do nothing alternative (continued pump and haul) can be estimated based on the daily operational and weather records for the facility for the most recent winter season. Based on these records, under the severe climate and high inflow conditions described below, estimates show that it may be necessary to pump and haul up to 3.1 million gallons per year under worse -case conditions (or 1.1 million gallons per year assuming a 40% reduction in water 5 usage), as were experienced during the 2020-2021 winter season. Based on this estimated overage, pump and haul costs for a successful pump and haul season, with all bypasses prevented, could reach an annual cost of $436,271. Additionally, under this option, there is a higher likelihood for unintentional overflow and release of effluent, being dependent on manual observations of storage freeboard, dependence on availability of outside contractors for pumping, hauling, and disposal of effluent, and safe road conditions for hauler access. For purposes of alternative comparison, the present worth estimate for this alternative is based on actual expenditure of $155,400, plus an assumed annual budget of $10,000 for potential fines for bypasses. During the winter 2020-2021 season, due to weather conditions limiting irrigation, storage requirements for treated effluent exceeded available storage. In an effort to avoid a bypass, Wallace Loft, owner of The Cottages, arranged for pumping and hauling of excess treated effluent to the Town of Boone WWTP. Between January 4, 2021, and March 23, a total of 1,068,600 gallons of treated wastewater was pumped and hauled from the WWTP to the Town of Boone's wastewater treatment facility (the "Town"), with an associated total cost of $155,400 incurred by Wallace Loft. Tables providing daily details of the WWTP operation for December 2020 through February 2021, including inflow and irrigation rates, temperatures, and precipitation rates, are provided in Appendix B. As shown in the tables, minimum temperatures throughout December were consistently below freezing, only increasing above 32 °F on December 12 (37 °F), December 13 (38 °F), and December 22 (33 °F). In addition, snow cover at the Cottages from a 3" snow event on December 25 lasted for four days. In January it rained 7 out of 10 days, and minimum temperatures were below 32 °F from January 4 through January 26. In addition to freezing temperatures and cumulative precipitation totaling more than 18 inches of rain or snow in January, there was snow cover at The Cottages for 16 out of the 31 days of the month. Inclement weather continued into February, with only two days with minimum temperatures climbing above the freezing point (February 14 at 35 °F and February 26 at 33 °F). Between February 1 and February 22 there were 13 days of rain or snow, and 8 days of snow cover at The Cottages. Estimated present worth for the do-nothing alternative is $7,566,979. This alternative may be also considered infeasible, due to the high likelihood of unintentional bypass of treated effluent. 5.2 Conjunctive Use: Irrigate + Discharge to Laurel Fork (Preferred Alternative) Under this approach, The Cottages of Boone WWTP will make application for NPDES conjunctive use permit with intent to continue irrigation as conditions permit, and discharge excess treated effluent to Laurel Creek. To explore this alternative, a potential discharge point in the nearby receiving stream was identified. A review of stream conditions at the proposed discharge 1.1 location was initiated with USGS and NCDEQ. The Speculative Effluent Limits produced by NCDEQ suggest that a discharge of up to 0.1 MGD (the approximate permitted capacity of the WWTP) would be ecologically sound and technically feasible. Please see attached Speculative Effluent Limits letter dated January 10, 2020. As noted herein, The Cottages is only requesting authorization for the limited discharge of treated wastewater to Laurel Fork when necessary to prevent overflow and bypass of existing storage, particularly during extended periods of inclement weather during the winter months. The Cottages estimates daily flows during such periods to be approximately 0.035 MGD. Additional preparatory research included performance of a non -report Chronic Toxicity Test, with passing results. Test results are also attached herewith. Please see attached map, Figure 2, showing proposed discharge location. The discharge point may be reached by gravity flow and is approximately 580 lineal feet from the proposed connection the WWTP. An easement approximately 150 feet in length will be required into an adjoining parcel. Acquisition cost for this easement is estimated not to exceed $10,000. A cost estimate for construction the proposed discharge line is shown below: COST ESTIMATE COTTAGES OF BOONE - DISCHARGE LINE 30-Jun-21 DESCRIPTION CITY UNIT UNIT PRICE TOTAL 1 Mobilization 1 LS $5,000.00 $5,000.00 2 Clearing 0.07 AC $5,000.00 $350.00 3 Connectto Existing Plant 1 LS $5,000.00 $5,000.00 4 6-Inch Gate Valves 2 EA $750.00 $1,500.00 5 New Manholes 3 EA $5,000.00 $15,000.00 6 6" SDR 21 PVC Gravity Sewer 580 LF $60.00 $34,800.00 7 Silt Fence 600 LF $3.00 $1,800.00 8 Eronet S75 Erosion Control Blanket 200 LF $3.00 $600.00 9 Outfall Screen Device 1 EA $1,200.00 $1,200.00 10 Trench Rock 5 CY $100.00 $500.00 11 Seeding 0.07 AC $4,000.00 $280.00 12 Gravel Road Repair 1440 SF $5.00 $7,200.00 13 $0.00 CONSTRUCTION SUBTOTAL $73,230.00 Contingency(10•�) $7,323.00 CONSTRUCTION TOTAL $80,553.00 Engineering Services $12,000.00 TOTAL PROJECT ESTIMATE $92,553.00 This alternative has an estimated initial cost of $102,533 including easement acquisition and construction of the discharge.

MW PROPOSED NPDES DISCHARGE LOCATION FIGURE 2 - PROPOSED DISCHARGE LOCATION M-1 5.3 Connection to Municipal System The Cottages is located outside of the city limits of the City of Boone and at an altitude above 3,400 feet above mean sea level. Based on conversations with the Town Manager and the Public Works Director for the Town of Boone, and in review of the Town's ordinances, it would be very difficult to obtain approval for a sewer connection. Among other reasons, the Town's ordinance would require annexation & zoning, and connection to the Town's water (which is also not permitted for areas above MSL 3,400' which were not in town limits prior to March 8, 2007.) Water connection also requires metering of individual housing units and installation of booster pumps, water storage and telemetry. In addition, the ordinance requires a system development fee of $7.99per gallon which, for the 108,000 GPD WWTP, would require an initial upfront payment of $862,920 before implementing the change. For the purpose of this alternative analysis, we assume that a variance could be obtained allowing connection for delivery of the untreated wastewater flow, using a pump station, force main and a single meter for flow measurement. We would estimate capital costs for this approach at $80,000 for the pump station, $250,000 for 5,000 LF of force main with one highway bore, $40,000 in easement acquisition, for a total $370,000 construction cost. Additionally, we estimate that the system development fee would be $867,380 for the 108,530 GPD design flow. Estimated annual cost from the Town of Boone at the out-of-town treatment rate would be $237,814 for an assumed 50,000 GPD average flow. Connection to the municipal system, if allowed, would remove the need for onsite wastewater treatment, and require only maintenance of a small pump station, at an estimated savings of approximately $750,000 annually. The total estimated present worth for this alternative, if a variance allowing the connection were to be approved by the Town of Boone is estimated to be $5,729,023. In addition to cost, a connection to the Town is not considered practically feasible at this time due to annexation requirements and political resistance to annexation which is outside of the control of The Cottages. Even if politically available, annexation of The Cottages would likely take at least a year to effectuate. For these reasons, connecting to the municipal system is not a feasible alternative at this time. 5.4 Increase Wet -Weather Storage Capacity The fourth alternative evaluated the cost and feasibility of increasing the existing wet weather storage capacity of the WWTP by adding a 2,000,000-gallon capacity, bolted steel storage tank (86' diameter by 24' height). Due to the mountainous terrain at The Cottages, installing the additional storage tank would require blasting to remove rock and grading, and the installation Oj of a retaining wall around the tank. Overall, the construction cost for the new tank is estimated to total more than $1.9 million (or up to $2.2 million with a 25% construction and engineering contingency). Details of siting and construction of this proposed tank are provided in Appendix D. It is uncertain whether a 2,000,000-gallon capacity tank would provide adequate storage for a non -discharge WWTP given the extended periods of precipitation and frozen temperatures experienced at The Cottages during recent winters. Initial capital cost for this approach is estimated at $2,200,000, assuming that the tank can be installed without additional land acquisition. Annual and intermittent costs for this alternative include pump and valve operation and maintenance, and paint touch-up at 15-year intervals, approximately $1,500 annually. The total present worth calculated for this alternative, assuming construction with no additional land acquisition is calculated at $7,211,916, with no certainty that the additional storage would be adequate. 5.5 Reduce Generated Flow Reduction of generated wastewater flow is achieved through reduction of water use. The Cottages of Boone has contracted a specialist to design a water conservation program with a stated goal of 40% reduction of water use. Although this program is presented as an alternative to NPDES discharge, the Cottages intends to initiate a water conservation program even if the anticipated wastewater reduction is not sufficient to eliminate the need for a discharge permit. Specifics of the proposed reduction program as recommended by the specialist follow: "We intend on replacing the shower heads and replacing the toilets as well as reducing the flow of the faucets. Currently the toilets are 1.6 GPF units. The replacements will be 0.8 GPF units. The kitchen sinks are 2.2 GPM faucets. We intend on adding flow restrictors that will reduce the flow to 1.0 GPM. Similarly, the bathroom faucets are currently 1.5 GPM. They will have restrictors installed reducing the flow to 0.5 GPM. Lastly the current 2.5 GPM shower heads will be replaced with 1.25 GPM heads. The vendor feels that we should see at least a 40% reduction in water use (and subsequent wastewater.) ... Additionally, we are requesting to install water sub -meters throughout the property. These meters can then be used to identify apartment that are wasting water to help with the conservation efforts. Capital cost for the proposed reduction program is estimated to be $426,756. An analysis of anticipated winter storage capacity, using the 2020-2021 Winter historical records, adjusted for a 40% inflow reduction is provided in Appendix B. This estimate suggests that with the reduced flow, in weather conditions similar to the historic data, overage would still be experienced, but that the cumulative winter overage, and associated pump and haul costs would be reduced by approximately 63%. Estimated annual pump and haul would be $41,958 with a $2,700 reserve for potential bypass fines. 10 The total present worth calculated for this alternative is $6,111,469. Note that this alternative would not be expected to eliminate the storage deficiency and need for discharge or continued pumping and hauling. 5.6 Cover Tanks to Reduce Precipitation Inflow Open top diameters for the currently installed storage tanks are approximately 100 feet for the 14-day tank and 60 feet for the 5-day upset tank. Each tank is approximately 26 feet in height. Covers for tanks of this height are normally constructed during initial tank construction, assembled at low elevation and jacked up as side tank sections are added. It would be extremely difficult and expensive to add covers to these existing tanks due to lack of a sufficiently sized adjacent flat assembly and craning area and difficulty meeting OSHA requirements for work at 26' height. Estimated cost for the covers, if technically possible to construct would be $250,000 for the large tank, and $100,000 for the 5-day upset tank. Regardless of cover expense, estimated annual precipitation inflow (60" to 65" in Boone) to the tanks would not be expected to greatly exceed estimated annual evaporation from the open tanks (40" to 45"). The precipitation inflow with evaporation is insignificant, and the construction of covers is not feasible. Present worth for this alternative is $5,338,532, with no expected significant improvement on storage capacity. 5.7 Increase Irrigation Area or Irrigation Rate Wallace Loft and The Cottages have engaged the services of a soil survey specialist to investigate and review the site and soils. The intent of this study is to identify any potentially useful additional areas for irrigation or reclaimed water reuse, and to determine whether application rates in existing fields can be increased. Although this study has been contracted, it has not been completed and data is not yet available for inclusion in this application. We have elected to submit this application and intend to provide the soil study results as a later addendum as time is of the essence in selecting, permitting, and constructing a feasible solution for the capacity problem prior to the next winter season. Identification of additional application areas, or irrigation rate improvements would be expected to provide for increased available storage at the beginning of the winter season but based on the weather records from the 2020-2021 Winter season, in similar weather conditions, and adjusted for 40% water conservation, overages would still expected due to the number of consecutive days when irrigation could not be used due to temperature or precipitation. Although it is expected that a discharge or pump and haul would still be necessary, any improvement in application rate would be helpful in reducing the overage volume, and The Cottages may implement additional irrigation fields or irrigation rates if supported by the pending soils report. 11 6. Alternatives Summary A table summarizing the results of the individual alternatives analyses is presented below, Figure 3. Of the options considered technically feasible, only the preferred option, conjunctive use, provides a guaranteed solution to the system storage capacity issues, even with the implementation of the water efficiency measures. The do-nothing alternative does not solve capacity issues and has a high estimated present worth cost, this is not an acceptable alternative. Connection to municipal system, if feasible, would solve capacity issues with lowest present worth lifetime cost, but as discussed previously, is not considered politically feasible at this time. Increasing onsite storage by (2 million gallons) is not technically feasible due to high initial cost and provides no guaranteed solution to capacity issues. It is estimated that this would not have provided sufficient additional storage for the 2020-2021 Winter weather and inflow conditions. A program intended to result in a 40% reduction of water use and generated wastewater is technically feasible and will be implemented in 3Q21, however this reduction is not expected to be sufficient to solve capacity issues. Covering tanks to eliminate precipitation inputs is not technically feasible nor would it significantly impact system capacity. In other words, precipitation into the tanks has a minimal impact on storage. As noted, we are awaiting results of a site soil survey, to determine if irrigation areas and/or irrigation rates can be increased. Due to siting and topography, it is unlikely that significant additional application areas will be identified, but if it is determined that application rates can be increased, this could be helpful in ensuring lower tank levels at the beginning of the severe weather season. Lower initial tank levels could reduce but would not be expected to eliminate system storage issues during extended periods when irrigation cannot take place.

Conclusions and Recommendations The existing WWTP provides more than sufficient irrigation area for the permitted design capacity of the WWTP, provided weather allows for the land application of treated wastewater. The limiting factor and root cause of the WWTP overflows has been, and continues to be, the lack of sufficient storage capacity during periods of frequent or sustained precipitation and/or freezing weather in the winter months. Based on USGS 7Q10 flows, and NCDEQ Speculative Discharge Limits, discharge into Laurel Fork at up to the permitted flow for Cottage of Boone WWTP, 0.10 MGD would be ecologically sound and meeting Speculative Effluent Limits would be technologically feasible. A recently performed passing test for Chronic Toxicity is further indication that discharge of this treated effluent would be ecologically sound. It is our recommendation that The Cottages of Boone WWTP implement the water efficiency measures in 3Q21, and also proceed with NPDES application for conjunctive use to allow continued irrigation of treated effluent, and supplemented by discharge into Laurel Fork, only when necessary to prevent bypass of existing storage. We recommend requesting a permitted discharge flow of 0.035 MGD. This recommendation is based on the highest monthly average daily flow experienced during the past severe weather period (58,347 GPD, January 2021), with a 40% reduction applied for the proposed water consumption reduction program. It is estimated that discharges would approach this flow amount only under the most severe weather conditions. With proper operation of the WWTP and improved weather, The Cottages does not anticipate any further shortage of storage capacity until winter weather returns. We recommend that every effort be made to complete permitting and construction of the proposed discharge system prior to the return of winter weather. 13 Appendices Appendix A — The Cottages NOV Response, dated April 8, 2021 Appendix B — Daily Detail and Storage Analysis — Winter 2020-2021 Appendix C — Daily Detail and Storage Analysis with 40% inflow reduction — Winter 2020-2021 Appendix D — Additional Storage Tank Evaluation Appendix E — Navitas Equity Solutions Efficiency & Emission Report, June 2021 Appendix F — Present Worth Evaluation of Alternatives NPDES Permit No. WQ0035784, The Cottages of Boone WWTP Speculative Effluent Limits - Laurel Fork, Watauga River Basin Chronic Toxicity Test Results — The Cottages of Boone WWTP Local Government Review Form -Watauga County, NC Local Government Review Form —Town of Boone 14 Parker Poe Fern A.

Hanes Mill Rd., Suite 300 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Atlanta, GA Charleston, SC Charlotte, NC Columbia, SC Greenville, SC Raleigh, NC Spartanburg, SC Washington, DC Re: Response to Notice of Violation & Intent to Enforce (NOV-2021-PC-0187) Wallace Loft, LLC; The Cottages of Boone - Wastewater Irrigation System Permit No. WQ0035784; Watauga County Dear Lon: We appreciate this opportunity to respond to the above -referenced Notice of Violation ("NOV") on behalf of our client, Wallace Loft, LLC ("Wallace Loft"), which owns and operates The Cottages of Boone ("The Cottages"). As you know, The Cottages holds a permit (Permit No. WQ0035784) to operate a non - discharge wastewater irrigation system. The Permit authorizes the operation of a 108,530 gallon per day (GPD) wastewater treatment and irrigation facility (the "WWTP"). The WWTP uses a drip irrigation system consisting of approximately 14.39 acres of irrigation area with a mixed hardwood and pine forest cover crop, and serves 894 bedrooms, as well as a pool, fitness center, and The Cottage's administrative and clubhouse employees. As previously reported to NCDEQ, a bypass of the WWTP occurred between January 10, 2021 and February 22, 2021. In this letter, we provide additional information regarding the weather and conditions leading up to and during the previously reported bypass, on -going storage capacity challenges with the WWTP during the wet and cold winter months, efforts to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Conjunctive Use permit allowing the direct discharge to Laurel Fork to resolve storage capacity issues, and the status of The Cottages continuing efforts to obtain a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit. We respectfully request NCDEQ's consideration of the circumstances of the bypass, as well The Cottage's continuing good faith efforts to resolve the WWTP operating challenges described further herein, and hope that the NOV can be resolved without the need for enforcement. PPAB 6221610v2.docx Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP 620 South Tryon Street Suite 800 Charlotte, NC 28202 t 704.372.9000 f 704.334.4706 www.parkerpoe.com April 8, 2021 Page 2 Circumstances Surrounding the Incident Tables providing daily details of the WWTP operation for December 2020 through February 2021, including inflow and irrigation rates, temperatures, and precipitation rates, are provided in Attachment A. As shown in the tables, minimum temperatures throughout December were consistently below freezing, only increasing above 32 OF on December 12 (37 OF), December 13 (38 OF), and December 22 (33 OF). In addition, snow cover at the Cottages from a 3" snow event on December 25 lasted for four days. In January, and the days leading up to the beginning of the bypass on January 10, it rained 7 out of 10 days, and minimum temperatures were below 32 OF from January 4 through January 26. In addition to freezing temperatures and cumulative precipitation totaling more than 18 inches of rain or snow in January, there was snow cover at the Cottages for 16 out of the 31 days of the month. Inclement weather continued into February, with only two days with minimum temperatures climbing above the freezing point (February 14 at 35 OF and February 26 at 33 OF). Between February 1 and February 22, when the bypass ended, there were 13 days of rain or snow, and 8 days of snow cover at The Cottages. In an effort to avoid a bypass, Wallace Loft arranged for pumping and hauling of excess treated effluent on or around January 4. Between January 4 and March 23, a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater was pumped and hauled from the WWTP to the Town of Boone's wastewater treatment facility (the "Town"), with an associated total cost of $155,400 incurred by Wallace Loft. However, worsening weather conditions on January 10 prevented haul trucks from accessing The Cottages, which is located 3,400' above mean sea level. The bypass of treated wastewater began on January 10. Photographs of the iced -over roads are provided below: &-. ft. - PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 3 Pump and haul operations restarted when roads were sufficiently clear on January 18. The Cottages acquired a mini excavator, placed fresh gravel on the roads, and contracted a snowplow vendor to attempt to keep access to the wet weather storage tanks open for trucks. Throughout the event and after, The Cottages pumped and hauled wastewater to the Town to minimize the total bypass to the extent that it was able. Despite best efforts, The Cottages was only able to land apply wastewater from the WWTP at the irrigation fields on one day in January (January 3), and was not able to land apply wastewater again until February 24. In addition to the challenges presented by inclement weather, The Cottages have experienced significant increases in water usage and wastewater inflow rates in association with the Coronavirus pandemic and associated stay-at-home and work -at-home orders. Governor Roy Cooper issued Executive Order 121 on March 27, 2020, ordering people in the state of North Carolina to stay at home for thirty days. The Order took effect on March 30, 2020. During the month of March 2020, before the stay-at-home order took effect, the average daily water usage at The Cottages was 36,381 gallons/day. By comparison, in February 2021, as residents continue to abide by subsequent stay-at-home and work -at-home orders, average water usage has increased to an average of 78,006 gallons/day, with a maximum daily usage of 112,600 gallons/day on February 18, 2021. In short, as residents continue to stay at home, cook at home, and recreate at home in response to the on -going coronavirus pandemic, The Cottages has experienced an approximate doubling of water usage. The wastewater system has been able to meet the increased water usage and wastewater production rates during warmer months without issue. However, with inclement weather preventing irrigation of treated wastewater and iced -over access roads preventing the Cottages from pumping and hauling wastewater to the Town, the WWTP was not able to keep up with the increased wastewater production and avoid the bypass. Additional information regarding the storage capacity at the WWTP, and the feasibility of adding storage capacity, is discussed further below in relation to the efforts to permit a solution to the WWTP issues during the cold and wet winter months. Efforts to Obtain a NPDES Coniunctive Use Permit for the WWTP. The WWTP began operating in 2013. In the first several years of operation, The Cottages found that properly treating and disposing of effluent during the wet winter months, frequently with freezing temperatures, presented greater -than -expected challenges. Wallace Loft engaged Odom Engineering ("Odom") in October 2019 to assist with the challenges experienced at the WWTP. Odom's analysis confirmed that operational challenges at the WWTP tracked the weather, with the system running out of storage capacity during high precipitation and freezing weather periods in and around January through March, as shown in Figure 1 below. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 4 Figure 1. Comparison of Weather Trends and Remaining WWTP Storage Capacity Generally, daily inflow to the WWTP varies from 20,000-50,000 GPD. As described further above, daily averages during the 2020-2021 Coronavirus pandemic have approximately doubled as residents remain home in accordance with Gov. Cooper's various stay-at-home and work -at- home orders. Daily irrigation rates vary more widely, from nothing (on days when weather precludes drip irrigation of wastewater to the irrigation fields), to well above 100,000 GPD. Importantly, on good weather days, The Cottages can, and frequently does, apply treated effluent to the irrigation fields at rates at and above 100,000 GPD. Wet weather storage at WWTP includes a 1,560,000-gallon bolted steel tank that provides a 14-day capacity for wet weather storage at the maximum design capacity, and a 548,439 million gallon 5-day upset tank for emergency conditions, which also may be used for additional wet weather storage. Although The Cottages narrowly managed to avoid exceeding the storage capacity of the WWTP during the winter months of the first few years of operation, The Cottages has repeatedly needed to obtain authorizations to haul and dispose of excess effluent to the Town to prevent system overflow and bypass. Attachment B to this letter provides daily details of inflow to the WWTP and irrigation rates by field during March 2020, a sample month that saw significant and frequent precipitation and freezing temperatures. The Table in the attachment shows that, on good irrigation days, the WWTP is achieving irrigation rates at or above 100,000 GPD. Despite best efforts demonstrated by irrigation flow rates shown in the March 2020 summary, the WWTP did run out of storage capacity in March 2020, and was required to pump and haul wastewater to Town of Boone's WWTP to avoid a bypass. In 2020, the Cottages pumped and hauled 569,500 gallons of wastewater to the Town at a cost of $73,500. In 2021, between January 4 and March 23, The Cottages pumped and hauled a total of 1,068,600 gallons of wastewater to the Town at a cost of $155,400, and The Cottages would have pumped and hauled even more wastewater if weather and roads had allowed. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 5 Odom also evaluated the cost and feasibility of increasing the existing wet weather storage capacity of the WWTP by adding a 2,000,000-gallon capacity, bolted steel storage tank (86' diameter by 24' height). Due to the mountainous terrain at The Cottages, installing the additional storage tank would require blasting to remove rock and grading, as well as the construction of a retaining wall around the tank. Overall, Odom estimates the construction cost for the new tank would total more than $1.9 million (or up to $2.2 million with a 25% construction and engineering contingency). Aerial photographs showing the proposed plans and an estimated cost schedule prepared by Odom are provided in Attachment C. Further, it is uncertain whether a 2,000,000- gallon capacity tank would provide adequate storage for a non -discharge WWTP given the extended periods of precipitation and frozen temperatures experienced at The Cottages during recent winters. Connecting The Cottages' WWTP to the Town of Boone's municipal system was also deemed to be technically infeasible due to, among other things, the prerequisite annexation and zoning requirements under the Town's existing ordinances. Odom and Wallace Loft therefore determined to apply to NCDEQ for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit that would allow The Cottages to directly discharge treated wastewater to Laurel Fork, a small stream on property adjacent to the existing WWTP. Note that the purpose of the permit was only to allow the Cottages to directly discharge to Laurel Fork during periods of inclement weather when land application of treated wastewater through the drip irrigation system is not available and wet weather storage capacity is exhausted. In pursuit of the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit, Wallace Loft applied for and was issued approved speculative effluent limits for a 0.1 MGD NPDES Conjunctive Use permit on January 10, 2020. Odom also applied for and received a zoning consistency determination for the requested NPDES Conjunctive Use permit from Watauga County on April 27, 2020. The Cottages submitted its application for the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit, including an Engineering Alternatives Analysis ("EAX) prepared by Odom, on May 20, 2020. In the fall and winter of 2020, NCDEQ raised questions and requested additional information regarding the EAA, and ultimately returned the application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit to Wallace Loft in a letter dated January 19, 2021. In follow-up correspondence from Nathaniel Thornburg, Branch Chief of NCDEQ's Non -Discharge Branch, NCDEQ indicated that the following specific analyses should be conducted to further evaluate to potential non -discharge option prior to submitting a revised application for the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit: (1) reducing the amount of generated inflow to the WWTP; (2) increasing storage capacity of the WWTP; (3) increasing the irrigation area of the WWTP; and (4) increasing the loading rate to the existing irrigation areas. Odom and The Cottages are gathering information to provide responses to these four items. In particular, a soil scientist has been engaged to evaluate the existing irrigation fields and whether there is any potential to increase land application rates at the existing irrigation fields or expand the irrigation areas. The soil scientist's report and findings should be complete by mid -May. Importantly, Odom and The Cottages believe that the existing WWTP provides more than sufficient irrigation area for the permitted design capacity of the WWTP, provided weather allows for the land application of treated wastewater. The limiting factor and root cause of the WWTP overflows has been, and continues to be, the lack of sufficient storage capacity during periods of frequent or sustained precipitation and/or freezing weather in the winter months. As discussed above, the estimated cost to install an additional 2,000,000-gallon capacity storage tank is between $2 million and $2.2 million. PPAB 622161M.docx April 8, 2021 Page 6 Further, Odom and The Cottages continue to believe that permitting the direct discharge of treated wastewater to Laurel Creek during the limited periods of inclement weather when the WWTP's wet weather storage capacity is exceeded is the appropriate path forward. Indeed, had The Cottage's efforts to obtain the NPDES Conjunctive Use permit in 2020 been successful, the WWTP would have been authorized to lawfully discharge wastewater in accordance with the standards and requirements established in the permit, and avoid the bypass that is the subject of this NOV. Pending the results of the soil scientist's report and further analysis on available storage capacity options, Odom and The Cottages anticipate submitting the updated information and analyses to NCDEQ. Odom and The Cottages are hoping to submit an updated and revised application for a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit that addresses NCDEQ's questions in concerns in or around June 2021. Further Odom and The Cottages are committed to working with NCDEQ to obtain a NPDES Conjunctive Use permit to allow for the lawful discharge of wastewater during periods when the WWTP's wet weather storage capacity is exceeded as a result of inclement weather. With proper operation of the WWTP and the improved weather, The Cottages does not anticipate any further shortage of storage capacity until winter weather returns. In the meantime, the Cottages and Odom will make every effort resolve the issue, whether through permitting or other alternatives identified through further analysis.

Water I Water fixtures, in the context of this report, include low -flow fixtures, water line apparatus, and smart irrigation systems. Technologies I Shower Heads and Aerators • Niagara High Efficiency Shower Heads are durable, have classic aesthetics, and offer a TamperProof option • The Bathroom and kitchen aerators • The 0.5 needle spray bathroom aerator has great pressure to efficiently wash hands • The 1.5 Dual Spray kitchen has the force to clean dishes Toilets • STEALTH fixtures by Niagara can use as little as 0.625 gallons/flush - >50% improvement on the current toilets. • Vacuum assisted technology that has a MaP premium rating of 800 which is a comparable force to a 1.6 GPF toilet; or a toilet that uses 2x more water. • Low flow toilets, the ones that are referred to often, are usually flapper toilets or pressure assisted which creates the following: 1) Pressure Assisted loud and dangerous. Not ideal for residential application because of their supersonic jet -like noise 2) Flapper Toilets are costly, leaky and running. Flapper Toilet Slow gravity fed that lacks force 3) Niagara has a Lifetime Warranty on Ceramic, 10-year on internals with little to no maintenance costs aC quity8Y, Empowering Energy Efficiency Identified Rebate & Manufacturer Warranty Detail IDENTIFIED REBATES n/a MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES $ AMOUNT DESCRIPTION & PROJECTED TIMELINE DESCRIPTION & PROJECTED TIMELINE High Efficiency Bathroom Sink Aerator - 0.5 GPM 1-year Product Warranty High Efficiency Showerhead - 1.25 GPM 10-year Product Warranty High Efficiency Kitchen Sink Aerators - 1 GPM 1-year Product Warranty Zennergy Flow Management Device 15-year Product Warranty Appendix F - Present Worth Calculations for Alternative Comparison MCA Calculation Method.

The Division received the speculative limits request in an email dated November 14, 2019 from Pete Dickerson of Odom Engineering PLLC. Please recognize that speculative limits may change based on future water quality initiatives, and it is highly recommended that the applicant verify the speculative limits with the Division's NPDES Unit prior to any engineering design work. Receivine Stream. Laurel Fork is located within the Watauga River Basin. Laurel Fork has a stream classification of C;Trom, and waters with this classification have a best usage for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, agriculture, and trout propagation and survival. Laurel Fork has a summer 7Q10 flow of 0.44 cfs, a winter 7Q10 flow of 0.64 efs, a 30Q2 flow of 1.39 cfs, and an annual average flow of 3.2 cfs. Based upon a review of information available from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Online Map Viewer, there are not any Federally Listed threatened or endangered aquatic species identified within a 5-mile radius of the proposed discharge location. If there are any identified threatened/endangered species, it is recommended that the applicant discuss the proposed project with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to determine whether the proposed discharge location might impact such species. Speculative Effluent Limits. Based on Division review of receiving stream conditions and water quality modeling results, speculative limits for the proposed conjunctive use discharge of 0.1 MGD are presented in Table 1. A complete evaluation of these limits and monitoring requirements for metals and other toxicants, as well as potential instream monitoring requirements, will be addressed upon receipt of a formal NPDES permit application. Some features of the speculative limit development include the following: • BODE, BOD limits are assigned to be protective of instream dissolved oxygen (DO) and are consistent with the facility's non -discharge permit limits. NH3-N limits are assigned to protect for instream ammonia toxicity and instream DO. The resultant limits are considered technologically -feasible. -D_E QJ� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 1 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 wrnwxx.0 '^"'"' FnY0�0i•'�� 919.707.9000 • TSS: TSS limits are consistent with the facility's non -discharge permit limit, NPDES implementation, treatment plant design, and are considered technically feasible.

Please note that the Division cannot guarantee that an NPDES permit for a new or expanding discharge will be issued with these speculative limits. Final decisions can only be made after the Division receives and evaluates a formal permit application for the new/expanded discharge. In accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 214.0105(c), the most environmentally sound alternative should be selected from all reasonably cost effective options. Therefore, as a component of all NPDES permit applications for new or expanding flow, a detailed engineering alternatives analysis (EAA) must be prepared. The EAA must justify requested flows and provide an analysis of potential wastewater treatment alternatives. A copy of the Division guidance for preparing EAA documents is attached. Should you have any questions about these speculative limits or NPDES permitting requirements, please feel free to contact David Hill at (919) 707-3612.
