Application Fee: 1. Not applicable. B. Application: 1. Within Section IV — Billing Information, an address of 615 Fallview Lane, Boone, NC 28607 was provided. This appears to be the facility address. The mailing address listed for Wallace Loft LLC per the Secretary of State business registration records, and our records for the billing address of the facility, is 2626 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 550, Raleigh, NC 27608. Please confirm that the Permittee wishes to change the billing address to 615 Fallview Lane, Boone, NC 28607. Within Section V — Operation in Responsible Charge (ORC) Information, a back-up ORC has not been designated. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0117(a), the designation of both an ORC and a Back -Up ORC are required by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Please designate a back-up ORC and update the records as needed with WPCSOCC. 3. There appears to have been some confusion with regards to Section VI — Open -Atmosphere Structures. The Freeboard (ft) does not refer to the diameter of the tank structure. Freeboard is the distance between the designed full waterline and the top of the structure. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0505(d), the freeboard in the open -atmosphere storage units must be at least two feet. Please revise as needed. 4. The "Relationship Type" for the related collection system permit (WQCSD0738) is incorrect. Please select the correct relationship type (i.e. Upstream Sewer) from the drop -down menu. 5. The deeded owners listed in Section IV — Irrigation Fields appear to be incorrect. Attachment B of the existing permit dated October 25, 2017 indicates that the fields are located on parcels owned by Wallace Loft LLC and not CCC-Boone, LLC. Please confirm that the deeded owner of the parcels receiving wastewater irrigation activity is Wallace Loft LLC and revise the table accordingly. C. Attachment A —Site Map: 1. No comment. D. Attachment B — Signature Authority Delectation: 1.

Mr. Sean Dwyer January 6, 2022 Page 4 of 4 M. Attachment K—Industrial Wastewater: 1. Not applicable. N. Attachment L — Setback Waivers: 1. Not applicable. O. Additional Documentation: ➢ Existing Permit: 1. Please review the facility description in the existing permit and confirm that the remaining treatment components are still installed. ➢ Site Inspection by Regional Staff: During the recent site inspection, it was noted that a valve transferring wastewater from the equalization (EQ) basin to the rotary brush screen had been installed. The installed valve appears to serve as a bypass. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .05050), bypasses and overflows are prohibited. This change was made without a permit modification, and the valve should either be removed or a permit modification - including the necessary engineering documents (i.e. plans and specifications), appropriate application form, and information regarding the purpose of the valve - should be submitted for our review. Please provide additional information and explanation of the valve installed between the EQ basin and the rotary brush screen, and the Permittee's plans for the valve.
