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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. We genuinely appreciate your consideration
of the information provided in this letter, and we look forward to working with you. If you have any
questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at

Empowering Energy Efficiency
EFFICIENCY &EMISSIONS REPORT
Utilities Optimization & Capital Construction Plan
Prepared for Mapletree Investments I Cottages at Boone (Toilet Replacement)
June 2021
aSEquity SONG
Empowering Energy Efficiency
Your facility is likely to consume more than 9.1 million gallons of water during the next 12 months, or a 46% overage. This report provides
recommended efficiency upgrades that if installed will help decrease this overage while creating a quantifiable environmental impact. If
implemented, the Program herein will:
• Meaningfully reduce the blended annual utilities expense at your asset and ensure ongoing expense savings
• Increase the capped value of your facility upon refinance or disposition
• Generate an attractive unlevered ROI on invested capital
EMISSIONS TOTAL

1. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

7. Local Government Review
Local Government Review Forms have been sent to the Town Manager of Boone, NC, and to
the Watauga County Manager. Responses to the form requests have been included in the
attached appendix.
8. 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.

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.

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. We genuinely appreciate your consideration
of the information provided in this letter, and we look forward to working with you. If you have any
questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at

Your facility is likely to consume more than 9.1 million gallons of water during the next 12 months, or a 46% overage. This report provides
recommended efficiency upgrades that if installed will help decrease this overage while creating a quantifiable environmental impact. If
implemented, the Program herein will:
• Meaningfully reduce the blended annual utilities expense at your asset and ensure ongoing expense savings
• Increase the capped value of your facility upon refinance or disposition
• Generate an attractive unlevered ROI on invested capital

Efficiency Program Technologies
Below is a list of the Efficiency Program upgrades we recommend for your asset.
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

Appendix F - Present Worth Calculations for Alternative Comparison
MCA Calculation Method.
The following standard formula for computing the present value must be used in all cost estimates made under this
—1-tion:
PV= o+� C`
Where:
PV = Present value of costs.
Co = Costs incurred in the present year.
Ct - Costs incurred in time t.
t - Time period after the present year (The present year is t = 0)
n = Ending year of the life of the facility.
r - Current EPA discount rate. EPA adjusts this rate annually on October 1, and it can be accessed from
the Internet at http:/w .nccgl.net/fap/cwsrf/201gui.huffl.
If recurring costs are the same in years 1 through 20, then Ct-C and the formula reduces to:

Dear Mr. Devine:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
January 10, 2020
Subject: Speculative Effluent Limits
The Cottages of Boone WWTP
Permit No. WQ0035784
Watauga County
Watauga River Basin
This letter provides speculative effluent limits for a 0.1 MGD conjunctive use permit at The Cottages of
Boone W WTP. 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.

• TSS: TSS limits are consistent with the facility's non -discharge permit limit, NPDES
implementation, treatment plant design, and are considered technically feasible.

Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA). 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.
