Neuse Buffer Rules [15A NCAC 2B .0233] Compliance Review
Dear Sirs:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has reviewed your plans to utilize an existing irrigation system for
application of reuse (i.e., reclaimed) water at the subject property. It is the determination of the DWQ, based
on the additional information provided within your variance request, that the proposed activity complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) as an existing use (i.e., "exempt"). Therefore, the proposed activity
does not require a variance or approval from the DWQ under the Neuse Buffer Rules. However, you should
obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with
your project including (but not limited to) non-discharge regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0200).
This determination is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your variance request dated
May 8, 2002 and associated "Irrigation System As-Built" plans dated December 2001 with revisions dated
February 13, 2002 and additional conditions listed below. If you change your project, you should notify us and
you may be required to send us an application for an authorization certificate or variance approval. If the
property is sold, the new owner should be given a copy of this letter and is thereby responsible for complying
with all conditions. For this determination to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below as well as any
other conditions identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233.
Conditions:
1. Diffuse Flow
All stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream
buffers and shall not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B
.0233(5).

it question as collie up its to tichether the roles allow reuse mater in tltc
buffers. John is o the opinion that we (or Non-discharge) not allow it
since the reuse water ?rould have nutrients (esp. soluble) and there/arc
would be in conflict with the intent of the rules. I think the 211.0219
rulers do not allow it to be placed anv closer than 25 feet to sur%ctce
waters (nut sure). If it has lertili,.er added then it definitely i.s not
allowed in the buff?.,rs. Septic systems are not allowed in. the bullet"S.
Please thirds it over and pro?,ide me with Your cornrrtents by 008/02.

Responses were against allowing the reuse water in the buffers. John recommended that we send them a
letter not allowing the reuse water in the buffers on January 30th. He followed up with an email on Feb
4th to run this through non-discharge to be sure we are not "stepping on their toes". Kim Colson
responded with the following email.

Bob - the reuse buffers for streams are 25 ft. (all streams except SA)
and 100 ft.,for SA waters. In many case this does not conflict with
river buffer rules since most are for new construction, most of'which
are for golf courses. For someone like Cary where they are going into
developed areas, we do not look at the river buffer rules. Actuall for
Cary, they have a self permitting program - we approve the lilies and
program; they permit the irrigation systems (we would not want to permit
every home in Carv that utilizes reclaimed water). Of course with Cary
this is wetter that would otherwise be discharged into the stream
directly. Did the question about buffers come up with respect to one
particular project? Hope this helps. KC

Bob,
I'm not sure whoa you are referring to because I didn't get the origina
E-mail. If you are tulking about the spraying of reuse duality water,
the decision was made by Coleen Ili-at in the Neuse and 7ur-Yana Basins,
this water may not be sprayed within 50 ft. of the stream or coastal
marsh (whichever is more restrictive). Reuse quality water is not
re by the restrictions of the buffer
treated.10r nutrient retnoval there
16
rules, it cannot be sprayed within the buffer zones.
This ceune tap rnonths ago in the coastal zone so I called Coleen. She told
me drat since we were holding the on-site sewage Jolkc "feet to the
fare" and requiring the septic tanks and drair?fields to be 50 ji ftom
the shores edge (or coastal marsh) we call require no less,for our (DWQ)
own pertnits. This only applies in the Neuse and Tar-Pant Basins. Other
basins arc still 25 ft (100. t for SA).
Hope this helps,
Deborah

Was there any specific reason why we decided not to allow the use of reuse water in
the buffers. Our non-discharge rules only require that application not take place
within 25 feet of the surface water (except SA which is 100 feet). Therefore I am
not sure why reuse water could not be used in the first 25 feet of the buffer.

Did I miss anything in the 2H .0200 Rules.

Bob, This is what I wrote in my last email.
Bob,
Yes, let me know if we, or any of our colleagues from N.C.State, can provide discussion
or data regarding this. The intended use is not fertilizer, but reusing water. The spraying
of this water will actually cause a nutrient deficiency due to the increase in plant growth
from the additional water. The additional high quality water will also stabilize base flows
to the tributary running through the golf course and help stabilize riparian and wetland
systems in the buffer during periods of low precipitation. Perhaps you can share this with
your colleagues. Thanks for your help. - Scott

Dear Mr. Frederick,
On January 8, 2002, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your letter dated January 2, 2002
requesting to spray reuse water within the protected buffers. The DWQ has determined that this activity is
prohibited under the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) because it involves water related with an on-
site sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption. Therefore, we will have to move toward denial of
your request as required by 15A NCAC 2B .0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware any impacts requested within your application are not authorized by the
DWQ. Please also be aware that this activity may be subject to Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H
.0200 - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. Please contact the DWQ Non-Discharge Permitting Unit at
[phone] if you have any questions regarding these rules. Please call me at 919-733-9646 or Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 if you have any questions regarding the buffer
rules.

It looks like the consensus opinion (for those who had one) was not to allow new reuse water in the buffers.
Existing reuse could be allowed as long as it is not considered a fertilizer. See attached comments.

Re: Johnston County Reuse Master Plan (Johnston County olf and Country Club)
Dear John,
This letter is being submitted as a request for the Wetlands Unit to write a letter to
Construction Grants and Loans supporting the spraying of reuse quality water into the 50
foot Neuse River Buffer Zone on a perennial tributary to Holts Pond at the Johnston
County Golf and Country Club. An associate of mine with Southwind Surveying and
Engineering has been in contact with Dan Blaisdall of CGL at which time Mr. Blaisdall
requested a letter from the Wetlands Unit supporting the spraying of reuse quality water
in the buffer. This letter was requested as part of the approval process of this activity
through CGL.
Following discussions with Bob Zarzecki, we concluded that there was no language in
the Neuse River Buffer Rules addressing the spraying of reuse water in the buffers.
It should be noted that this irrigation water is very high quality treated water that, i.e.
minimal pathogens and nutrients, and of higher quality than storage pond water typically
used in irrigation systems for golf courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD)
and total suspended solids (TSS) must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet
the federal shellfish standard for coliform of < 14 counts/IOOmL.
Prohibiting the spraying of this water within 50 foot zone around the perennial tributary
flowing through the golf course will interfere with the utilization of existing irrigation
equipment on several greens and tee boxes. This tributary to Holts Pond is mostly devoid
of natural vegetation through much of the golf course. The stream courses through the
property into several inline ponds and travels underground in culverts under several
fairways. These inline ponds provide increased retention time for surface runoff leaving

Allowing the spraying of this high quality water in these areas is important to the overall

issues and municipalities need high volume end users to manage nutrients flowing from

Re: Johnston County Reuse Master Plan (Johnston County Golf and Country Club)
Dear John,
This letter is being submitted as a request for the Wetlands Unit to write a letter to
Construction Grants and Loans supporting the spraying of reuse quality water into the 50
foot Neuse River Buffer Zone on,a perennial tributary to Holts Pond at the Johnston
County Golf and Country Club. An associate of mine with Southwind Surveying and
Engineering has been in contact with Dan Blaisdall of CGL at which time Mr. Blaisdall
requested a letter from the Wetlands Unit supporting the spraying of reuse quality water
in the buffer. This letter was requested as part of the approval process of this activity
through CGL.
Following discussions with Bob Zarzecki, we concluded that there was no language in
the Neuse River Buffer Rules addressing the spraying of reuse water in the buffers.
It should be noted that this irrigation water is very high quality treated water that, i.e.
minimal pathogens and nutrients, and of higher quality than storage pond water typically
used in irrigation systems for golf courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD)
and total suspended solids (TSS) must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet
the federal shellfish standard for coliform of < 14 counts/100mL.
Prohibiting the spraying of this water within 50 foot zone around the perennial tributary
flowing through the golf course will interfere with the utilization of existing irrigation
equipment on several greens and tee boxes. This tributary to Holts Pond is mostly devoid
of natural vegetation through much of the golf course. The stream courses through the
property into several inline ponds and travels underground in culverts under several
fairways. These inline ponds provide increased retention time for surface runoff leaving
the greens and fairways.

Just read this and have to agree that it is not allowed within the buffer.
If it-is part of an existing use we may have to allow the use of reuse

Bob,
If you haven't already, you may want to talk to Kim Colson over in Non-discharge Permitting about this -
for Spray and Drip Irrigation Systems there are buffer requirements for things like distance from wells,
property boundaries, streams, etc. There are also monitoring requirements for this type of wastewater
treatment - so their permit may have limits for things like fecal coliform, phosphorus, etc. Also, I think
that they may be required to "hold" the water for a set number of days prior to spraying. My guess is that a
spray/drip field wouldn't even be allowable in the buffer based on the Permitting requirements - not the
buffer rules.
If they want to directly discharge the reuse water - I think that would require a NPDES permit (your e-mail
wasn't real clear on how the water would be discharged). In that case, they would have to treat the reuse
water prior to discharging, they would have permit limits, and be required to monitor - all of which would
be based on the type of wastewater and the receiving stream.
I don't know whether this helped or not - if I was way off base for what you were asking, I apologize.

If you think the 2H.0219 rules don't allow it any closer than the 25 feet,
then don't allow the reuse within the 50feet so the buffer gets to do what
it is designed to do. But not let them within the 50 feet and not allow any
erosive forces with the water (ie sheet flow).

Subject: Request for major variance of the Neuse Buffer Rules for reuse water
application to the Johnston County Golf and Country Club property,
Smithfield, NC - Holts Lake [03-04-02: 27-45-(12); B NSW]
Dear Bob,
This letter is in response to the letter from the Wetlands Unit (2/21/02) whereby through
a review process it was determined that the spraying of reuse water in the Neuse River
buffers is prohibited under the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). The spraying
of reuse water has been interpreted by the Wetlands Unit and others within the Raleigh
Regional Office as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption.
On behalf of the Johnston County Golf and Country Club (JCGCC), we would like to
request a major variance on this interpretation to allow the spraying of reuse water within
the buffer of a tributary to Holts Lake.
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for

coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/L for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/100 mL near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond P1), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/ 100 mL and 220 counts/ 100 mL respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.
2
We hope a decision can be made to maximize the use of this valuable water resource
while making this process feasible and efficient for high volume end users such as the
Johnston County Golf and Country Club. This decision is important not only to JCGCC,
but to other high volume end users and the success of future reuse programs across the
State.

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
NOTE: The variance provision of the Neuse Riparian Area Rule allows the Environmental Management
Commission to grant a variance to an affected party when the following conditions apply on a given project:
(a) practical difficulties or hardships would result from strict application of the rule:
(b) such difficulties or hardships result from conditios which are peculiar to the property involved; and
(c) the general purpose and intent of the Rule would be preserved, water quality would be protected and
substantial justice would be done if the variance were granted.
This part of the application is to explain how the project meets criteria (a) and (b).
Attach a detailed description (2-3 pages) explaining the following:
• The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from strict application of the Rule.
• How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for
coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/1r, for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/100 mL near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond P 1), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/100 mL and 220 counts/100 ml, respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.
Part 3: Water Quality Protection
Water quality will be protected on the project site primarily through responsible nutrient
management and sediment and erosion control practices. Currently, nutrients are
managed effectively by trained operators and managers with careful application of
herbicides, pesticides, and other potential water pollutants. It should be noted that this
golf course will be managed and licensed under the Neuse River Basin Nutrient
Management Training Program as of June 2002.
Also, it should be noted that several inline ponds exist on the unnamed tributary flowing
through the course as well as other depressional areas that effectively trap and sequester
sediment and nutrients prior to discharge into Holts Lake. This increased retention of
surface water flowing from course fairways, greens, and tees helps to maintain and
improve water quality.

Engineering Report
for the
As-Built Survey and Plan
of the
Country Club of Johnston County Golf Course
Irrigation System
December 2001
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide information about the as-built survey and drawing of the
irrigation system for the golf course at the Country Club of Johnston County.
General Information
The Country Club of Johnston County is located west of US Highway 301 on the north side of
Holt's Lake between the Town of Smithfield and the Town of Four Oaks in Johnston Country,
North Carolina. The golf course was constructed in the 1930's as a nine-hole golf course and
was expanded to eighteen-holes in the 1960's. The course has been irrigated using raw water
pumped from Holt's Lake via a network of piping since the original irrigation system was
installed.
During the spring of 2001, the Country Club installed a new irrigation system for the entire golf
course including tees, fairways, roughs, greens, and driving range. Purple (Pantone 522) piping
was installed for the new irrigation system in anticipation of receiving reclaimed wastewater
(reuse water) from the Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. After the
irrigation system was installed, the Country Club was informed that as-built plans of the
irrigation system, sealed by a licensed N.C. Professional Engineer must be provided to illustrate
that the new irrigation system is in conformance with reuse regulations.
Southwind Surveying and Engineering, Inc. was contracted in September 2001 by the Country
Club to prepare an as-built plan of the system and determine what changes, if any, were required
to comply with reuse regulations. Over 600 points were surveyed using a combination of survey
grade GPS and submeter GPS surveying equipment to locate sprinkler heads, valve boxes, air
release valves, wells, wetland boundaries, ponds, storm drainage pipes, drop inlets, ditches, and
property corners. As-built drawings prepared by the contractor that installed the irrigation
system were provided to indicate the sizes and locations of the new irrigation pipes. The pipes
were exposed at random locations throughout the golf course selected by the Engineer to verify
pipe sizes, location, and the color of the pipes.
Survey grade GPS equipment provides accuracy within 2 cm in unobstructed areas. Submeter
GPS surveying equipment provides a general accuracy within one meter (3.0 ft), depending on
satellite location at the time of survey, and the location of obstructions such as trees and
buildings. The proximities of sprinkler heads that were located adjacent to ponds, wetlands, or
property boundaries were verified by field measuring the distance from the sprinkler heads to the
edge of the pond, wetland, or property line.
The sprinkler head models and spray radius information were provided by the irrigation system
designers, Smith Turf and Irrigation Designs of Charlotte, N.C., and verified in the field by the
Engineer. The spray patterns were plotted to determine whether the spray encroached on
adjacent properties, and surface water buffers. Spray heads with conflicts were replaced with
either part-circle heads or smaller radius heads. Spray heads found to be located within the
buffer zones for wetlands and surface waters were capped off and abandoned.
Wetlands
Wetlands on the golf course were delineated by The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, N.C. in
August 2000, when the original soil/site evaluation was performed. The wetland boundaries
were not surveyed at that time, and the boundary flags were not present when the as-built survey
was performed in October 2001. The Triangle Group redelineated the wetlands in October 2001
while the as-built survey was being performed. The second time, more wetland areas were
delineated than during the original delineation. The October 2001 wetland delineation was
surveyed and is shown of the as-built drawing.
Spray Limits
N.C. Administrative code section 15ANCAC2H.0200 indicates that buffer requirements from the
edge of the spray are as follows:
Property line - no buffer required. Spray must be confined to the permitted property.
Surface waters not classified SA, including wetlands require a 25-foot buffer.
Potable wells require a 100-foot buffer.
Non-potable wells require a 10-foot buffer.
In addition to these requirements, reuse water should not be sprayed in ditches or storm drainage
facilities that flow to surface water or wetlands. A 50 foot buffer is required on streams that are
subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules.
The buffers indicated above have been shown on the plans, and the spray heads have been
adjusted, replaced or abandoned to comply with the buffer requirements.
Irritation System
The golf course irrigation system consists of a network of 2", 2 '/2", 3", 4", b", 8", and 10" PVC
pipes and appurtenances. Johnston County will provide reuse water to the irrigation system
through a 16" line that will enter the golf course property from the north at Packing Plant Road
(SR 1343) and connect to the golf course irrigation system at an existing 10" line that is stubbed
out between the # 12 tee box and the # 14 green.
Lids for the valve boxes are purple in color. All valves require special wrenches for operation.
All piping used for the irrigation system is purple colored, ASTM D2241, SDR 21 PVC, with
"Reclaimed Water" stamped on the pipe, except for the irrigation piping for the practice putting
green. The piping for the practice green was not replaced when the new irrigation system was
installed, and consists of standard 2" PVC piping. The piping for the practice green does not
cross any potable water or sanitary sewer lines. The valve boxes for the practice green have been
replaced with purple lids.
Once Johnston County extends the reuse supply line to the golf course, the entire course will be
irrigated with reuse water. Since there is no dual system for irrigating a portion of the course
with potable water, the Country Club desires to maintain the existing irrigation system as a back
up in case there is a problem with the reuse supply in the future. Prior to connecting the reuse
supply line to the existing irrigation system, the Country Club will cut the existing 8" line
between the lake water pumps and the irrigation system, and install valves and two above ground
stand pipes with quick connections. A flexible hose will be used to connect between the quick
connections. This will provide an air gap between the reuse source and the lake water source to
prevent potential contamination. A detail of the dual stand pipe/flexible connection arrangement
is shown on the as-built plan, and attached to this report, however it has not been constructed at
the time of this report. The country club officials have agreed to have it constructed prior to
connecting to the reuse system.
The existing irrigation system operates at approximately 80 psi using the raw water pumps and a
hydropneumatic tank. The operating pressure of the reuse supply line is expected to be
significantly higher than the existing operating pressure, therefore a pressure reducing valve will
be required where the irrigation system connects to the reuse supply line. The pressure will be
reduced to existing operating conditions, so the spray patterns for the reuse irrigation system will
be the same as the existing irrigation system. A copy of the catalog cut sheets for the spray
heads used on the irrigation system are attached. Spray patterns can easily be changed by
installing different nozzles in the spray heads, as illustrated by the catalog cut sheets.
Greens with Underdrains
Two greens on the golf course have been constructed with underdrains, hole #8 and hole 99. In
order to obtain State approval for the reuse irrigation system, The underdrains have been plugged
so that they do not drain to a drainage way or stream.
Si na e
Prior to connecting the irrigation system to the reuse system, the Country Club must erect
signage to inform the public that reclaimed wastewater is being sprayed on the golf course.
Recommended wording for the signs, "Attention - This Golf Course is Irrigated with Nonpotable
Reclaimed Water" is shown on the as-built plan. The signs are to be installed in the club house,
at the practice green, and at the tee boxes for hole #l, hole 410, and the driving range. The signs
have not been installed at the time of this report, The country club officials have agreed to install
the signs prior to connecting to the reuse system.
Potable Wells
The soil/site evaluation performed by the Triangle Group identified three water supply wells on
the golf course property. All on-site wells have been abandoned except for the one located
beside the #14 green. This well will be converted to nonpotable use once a new water service
line is installed from Packing Plant Road. The new water service line will be installed as part of
the construction contract when the reuse supply line is installed. The existing well will be used
to irrigate the tee box for hole #14, where spray heads had to be abandoned due to reuse buffer
conflicts. A sign will be installed at the well stating "Nonpotable Water". Country Club
officials have agreed to convert the well to nonpotable use, and install the proper signage. A 10
buffer is required from the edge of the reuse spray to the nonpotable well.
Hvdrlogv and Soils Information
The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina performed a soil and site evaluation of the
golf course property during August 2000. A Soil/Site Evaluation report dated January 2001 was
prepared and includes soil and hydraulic analysis, and loading rates for the golf course property.
Copies of this report are available from Johnston County upon request.

Dear Mr. Massengill:
The following items will be satisfactorily corrected prior to connecting to the reuse
system:
1. Converting the well near hole #14 to nonpotable use. The county is to include a
water service from Packing Plant Road in the reuse line construction contract.
The new service line will run beside the 16" reuse line along the existing path
between # 12 & # 13 fairways. Roger wants to use the we] l to irrigate the # 14 tee
box where we had to abandon the spray heads due to buffer conflicts.
2. Installing the required signs that read: "Attention - This golf course is irrigated
with nonpotable reclaimed water". Five signs required.
3. Modifying the lake water supply line so that there is an air gap to prevent
potential contamination from the reuse water. It will be a dual stand pipe
arrangement with a flexible hose connection.
Thank you for your help in this matter. Please call me at 963-3156 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Johnston County Reuse Master Plan (Johnston County Golf and Country Club)
Dear John,
"I'his letter is being submitted as a request for the Wetlands Unit to write a letter to
Construction Grants and Loans supporting the spraying of reuse quality water into the 50
foot Neuse River Buffer Zone on a perennial tributary to Molts Pond at the Johnston
County Golf and Country Club. Am associate of mine with Southwind Surveying and
F,rlgineering has been in contact with Dan Blaisdall of COL at which time Mr. Blaisdall
requested a letter from the Wetlands Unit supporting the spraying of reuse quality water
in the buffer. This letter was requested as part of the approval process oi'this activity
through CGL.
Following discussions with Bob Zarzecki, we concluded that there was no language in
the Neuse River Buffer Rules addressing the spraying of reuse water in the buffers.
It should be noted that this irrigation water is very high quality treated water that, i.e.
minimal pathogens and nutrients, and of higher quality than storage pond water typically
used in irrigation systems for golf courses. Levels of biological oxygen denland (BC)D)
and total suspended solids (TSS) must be ` 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectivcl-y and meet
the federal shellfish standard for coliform of < 14 counts/100nrL.
Prohibiting the spraying; of this water within 50 foot zone around the perennial tributary
flowing through the golf course will interfere with the utilization of existing irrigation
equipment on several greens and tee boxes. This tributary to Holts Pond is mostly devoid
of natural vegetation through much of the golf course. The stream courses through the
property into several inline ponds and travels underground in culverts under several
fairways. 't'hese inline ponds provide increased retention time for surface runoff leaving
the greens and fairways.

Allowing the spraying of this high quality water in these areas is important to the overall
objectives of reuse programs. Golf course managers need flexibility with irrigation
issues and municipalities need high volurne end users to manage nutrients flowing; from
treatment plants.

Let me know if you can put together a short letter to Dan Blaisdall and others at CGf:
endorsing the spraying ol'reuse water in the 50 foot Neuse River Buffers. This is
definitely an important decision to he made for the Future of reuse programs and
integrating end users such as JCGCC into these progrwris.
If you have any questions or want to discuss this further, please give me a, call at

Subject: Request for major variance of the Neuse Buffer Rules for reuse water
application to the Johnston County Golf and Country Club property,
Smithfield, NC - Holts Lake [03-04-02: 27-45-(12); B NSW]
Dear Bob,
This letter is in response to the letter from the Wetlands Unit (2/21/02) whereby through
a review process it was determined that the spraying of reuse water in the Neuse River
buffers is prohibited under the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). The spraying
of reuse water has been interpreted by the Wetlands Unit and others within the Raleigh
Regional Office as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption.
On behalf of the Johnston County Golf and Country Club (JCGCC), we would like to
request a major variance on this interpretation to allow the spraying of reuse water within
the buffer of a tributary to Holts Lake.
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for

coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/L for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/ 100 mL near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond P 1), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/ 100 ml, and 220 counts/ 100 mL respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.
2
We hope a decision can be made to maximize the use of this valuable water resource
while making this process feasible and efficient for high volume end users such as the
Johnston County Golf and Country Club. This decision is important not only to JCGCC,
but to other high volume end users and the success of future reuse programs across the
State.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information regarding this project. I

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
NOTE: The variance provision of the Neuse Riparian Area Rule allows the Environmental Management
Commission to grant a variance to an affected party when the following conditions apply on a given project:
(a) practical difficulties or hardships would result from strict application of the rule:
(b) such difficulties or hardships result from conditios which are peculiar to the property involved; and
(c) the general purpose and intent of the Rule would be preserved, water quality would be protected and
substantial justice would be done if the variance were granted.
This part of the application is to explain how the project meets criteria (a) and (b).
Attach a detailed description (2-3 pages) explaining the following:
• The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from strict application of the Rule.
• How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property
involved.
• Why reconfiguring and/or reducing the built-upon area to preserve a greater portion of the
riparian area is not feasible on this project. If economic hardship is the major
consideration, then include a specific explanation of the economic hardship and the
proportion of the hardship to the entire value of the project.

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for
coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/I, for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/100 ml, near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond P 1), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/100 ml, and 220 counts/100 mL respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.
Part 3: Water Quality Protection
Water quality will be protected on the project site primarily through responsible nutrient
management and sediment and erosion control practices. Currently, nutrients are
managed effectively by trained operators and managers with careful application of
herbicides, pesticides, and other potential water pollutants. It should be noted that this
golf course will be managed and licensed under the Neuse River Basin Nutrient
Management Training Program as of June 2002.
Also, it should be noted that several inline ponds exist on the unnamed tributary flowing
through the course as well as other depressional areas that effectively trap and sequester
sediment and nutrients prior to discharge into Holts Lake. This increased retention of
surface water flowing from course fairways, greens, and tees helps to maintain and
improve water quality.

Engineering Report
for the
As-Built Survey and Plan
of the
Country Club of Johnston County Golf Course
Irrigation System
December 2001
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide information about the as-built survey and drawing of the
irrigation system for the golf course at the Country Club of Johnston County.
General Information
The Country Club of Johnston County is located west of US Highway 301. on the north side of
Holt's Lake between the Town of Smithfield and the Town of Four Oaks in Johnston Country,
North Carolina. The golf course was constructed in the 1930's as a nine-hole golf course and
was expanded to eighteen-holes in the 1960's. The course has been irrigated using raw water
pumped from Holt's Lake via a network of piping since the original irrigation system was
installed.
During the spring of 2001, the Country Club installed a new irrigation system for the entire golf
course including tees, fairways, roughs, greens, and driving range. Purple (Pantone 522) piping
was installed for the new irrigation system in anticipation of receiving reclaimed wastewater
(reuse water) from the Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. After the
irrigation system was installed, the Country Club was informed that as-built plans of the
irrigation system, sealed by a licensed N.C. Professional Engineer must be provided to illustrate
that the new irrigation system is in conformance with reuse regulations.
Southwind Surveying and Engineering, Inc. was contracted in September 2001 by the Country
Club to prepare an as-built plan of the system and determine what changes, if any, were required
to comply with reuse regulations. Over 600 points were surveyed using a combination of survey
grade GPS and submeter GPS surveying equipment to locate sprinkler heads, valve boxes, air
release valves, wells, wetland boundaries, ponds, storm drainage pipes, drop inlets, ditches, and
property corners. As-built drawings prepared by the contractor that installed the irrigation
system were provided to indicate the sizes and locations of the new irrigation pipes. The pipes
were exposed at random locations throughout the golf course selected by the Engineer to verify
pipe sizes, location, and the color of the pipes.
Survey grade GPS equipment provides accuracy within 2 cm in unobstructed areas. Submeter
GPS surveying equipment provides a general accuracy within one meter (3.0 ft), depending on
satellite location at the time of survey, and the location of obstructions such as trees and
buildings. The proximities of sprinkler heads that were located adjacent to ponds, wetlands, or
property boundaries were verified by field measuring the distance from the sprinkler heads to the
edge of the pond, wetland, or property line.
The sprinkler head models and spray radius information were provided by the irrigation system
designers, Smith Turf and Irrigation Designs of Charlotte, N.C., and verified in the field by the
Engineer. The spray patterns were plotted to determine whether the spray encroached on
adjacent properties, and surface water buffers. Spray heads with conflicts were replaced with
either part-circle heads or smaller radius heads. Spray heads found to be located within the
buffer zones for wetlands and surface waters were capped off and abandoned.
Wetlands
Wetlands on the golf course were delineated by The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, N.C. in
August 2000, when the original soil/site evaluation was performed. The wetland boundaries
were not surveyed at that time, and the boundary flags were not present when the as-built survey
was performed in October 2001. The Triangle Group redelineated the wetlands in October 2001
while the as-built survey was being performed. The second time, more wetland areas were
delineated than during the original delineation. The October 2001 wetland delineation was
surveyed and is shown of the as-built drawing.
Spray Limits
N.C. Administrative code section 15ANCAC2H.0200 indicates that buffer requirements from the
edge of the spray are as follows:
Property line - no buffer required. Spray must be confined to the permitted property.
Surface waters not classified SA, including wetlands require a 25-foot buffer.
Potable wells require a 100-foot buffer.
Non-potable wells require a 10-foot buffer.
In addition to these requirements, reuse water should not be sprayed in ditches or storm drainage
facilities that flow to surface water or wetlands. A 50 foot buffer is required on streams that are
subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules.
The buffers indicated above have been shown on the plans, and the spray heads have been
adjusted, replaced or abandoned to comply with the buffer requirements.
Irrigation System
The golf course irrigation system consists of a network of 2", 2 '/2", 3", 4", 65, 8", and 10" PVC
pipes and appurtenances. Johnston County will provide reuse water to the irrigation system
through a 16" line that will enter the golf course property from the north at Packing Plant Road
(SR 1343) and connect to the golf course irrigation system at an existing 10" line that is stubbed
out between the #12 tee box and the #14 green.
Lids for the valve boxes are purple in color. All valves require special wrenches for operation.
All piping used for the irrigation system is purple colored, ASTM D2241, SDR 21 PVC, with
"Reclaimed Water" stamped on the pipe, except for the irrigation piping for the practice putting
green. The piping for the practice green was not replaced when the new irrigation system was
installed, and consists of standard 2" PVC piping. The piping for the practice green does not
cross any potable water or sanitary sewer lines. The valve boxes for the practice green have been
replaced with purple lids.
Once Johnston County extends the reuse supply line to the golf course, the entire course will be
irrigated with reuse water. Since there is no dual system for irrigating a portion of the course
with potable water, the Country Club desires to maintain the existing irrigation system as a back
up in case there is a problem with the reuse supply in the future. Prior to connecting the reuse
supply line to the existing irrigation system, the Country Club will cut the existing 8" line
between the lake water pumps and the irrigation system, and install valves and two above ground
stand pipes with quick connections. A flexible hose will be used to connect between the quick
connections. This will provide an air gap between the reuse source and the lake water source to
prevent potential contamination. A detail of the dual stand pipe/flexible connection arrangement
is shown on the as-built plan, and attached to this report, however it has not been constructed at
the time of this report. The country club officials have agreed to have it constructed prior to
connecting to the reuse system.
The existing irrigation system operates at approximately 80 psi using the raw water pumps and a
hydropneumatic tank. The operating pressure of the reuse supply line is expected to be
significantly higher than the existing operating pressure, therefore a pressure reducing valve will
be required where the irrigation system connects to the reuse supply line. The pressure will be
reduced to existing operating conditions, so the spray patterns for the reuse irrigation system will
be the same as the existing irrigation system. A copy of the catalog cut sheets for the spray
heads used on the irrigation system are attached. Spray patterns can easily be changed by
installing different nozzles in the spray heads, as illustrated by the catalog cut sheets.
Greens with Underdrains
Two greens on the golf course have been constructed with underdrains, hole #8 and hole #9. In
order to obtain State approval for the reuse irrigation system, The underdrains have been plugged
so that they do not drain to a drainage way or stream.
Si na e
Prior to connecting the irrigation system to the reuse system, the Country Club must erect
signage to inform the public that reclaimed wastewater is being sprayed on the golf course.
Recommended wording for the signs, "Attention - This Golf Course is Irrigated with Nonpotable
Reclaimed Water" is shown on the as-built plan. The signs are to be installed in the club house,
at the practice green, and at the tee boxes for hole #l, hole 410, and the driving range. The signs
have not been installed at the time of this report. The country club officials have agreed to install
the signs prior to connecting to the reuse system.
Potable Wells
The soil/site evaluation performed by the Triangle Group identified three water supply wells on
the golf course property. All on-site wells have been abandoned except for the one located
beside the 414 green. This well will be converted to nonpotable use once a new water service
line is installed from Packing Plant Road. The new water service line will be installed as part of
the construction contract when the reuse supply line is installed. The existing well will be used
to irrigate the tee box for hole #14, where spray heads had to be abandoned due to reuse buffer
conflicts. A sign will be installed at the well stating "Nonpotable Water". Country Club
officials have agreed to convert the well to nonpotable use, and install the proper signage. A 10
buffer is required from the edge of the reuse spray to the nonpotable well.
Hydrolozy and Soils Information
The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina performed a soil and site evaluation of the
golf course property during August 2000. A Soil/Site Evaluation report dated January 2001 was
prepared and includes soil and hydraulic analysis, and loading rates for the golf course property.
Copies of this report are available from Johnston County upon request.

Dear Mr. Massengill:
The following items will be satisfactorily corrected prior to connecting to the reuse
system:
1. Converting the well near hole #14 to nonpotable use. The county is to include a
water service from Packing Plant Road in the reuse line construction contract.
The new service line will run beside the 16" reuse line along the existing path
between #12 &#13 fairways. Roger wants to use the well to irrigate the #14 tee
box where we had to abandon the spray heads due to buffer conflicts.
2. Installing the required signs that read: "Attention - This golf course is irrigated
with nonpotable reclaimed water". Five signs required.
3. Modifying the lake water supply line so that there is an air gap to prevent
potential contamination from the reuse water. It will be a dual stand pipe
arrangement with a flexible hose connection.
Thank you for your help in this matter. Please call me at 963-3156 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely yours,
647V4?

Re: Johnston County Reuse Master Plan (Johnston County Golf and Country Club)
Dear John,
This letter i5 being submitted as a request for the Wetlands Unit to write a letter to
Constriction Grants and Loans supporting the spraying of reuse quality water into the 50
loot Neuse River Buffer Zone on a perennial tributary to Bolts Pond at the Johnston
County Golf and Country Club. An associate of mine with Southwind Surveying and
Engineering has been in contact with Dan Blaisdall of COL at which time Mr. Blaisdall
requested a letter from the Wetlands Unit supporting the spraying of reuse quality water
in the buffer. This letter was requested as part of the approval process ol'this activity
through CGL.
Following discussions with Bob Zarecki, we concluded that there was no language in
the Neuse River Buffer Rules addressing the spraying of reuse water in the buffers.
It should be noted that this irrigation water is very high quality treated water that, i,c,
minimal pathogens and nutrients, and of higher quality than storage pond water typically
used in irrigation systems for golf courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (ROD)
and total suspended solids (TSS) must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet
the lbderal shellfish standard for coliforrn of < 14 counts/l00mL.
Prohibiting the :;praying of this water within 50 foot zone around the perennial tributary
flowing through the golf course will interfere with the utilization orexisting irrigation
equipment on several greens and tee boxes. This tributary to Holts Pond is mostly devoid
of natural vegetation through much of the golf course. The stream courses through the
property into several inline ponds and travels underground in culverts under several
fairways. 't'hese inline ponds provide increased retention time for surface runoff leaving
the greens and fairways.
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water in these areas is important to the overall
objectives of reuse prograrns. Golf course managers need flexibility with irrigation
issues and municipalities need high volume end users to manage nutrients flowing from
treatment plants.

endorsing the spraying ol'reuse water in the 50 foot Neuse River Buffers. This is
definitely an important decision to he made for the future of reuse prograrns and

Subject: Request for major variance of the Neuse Buffer Rules for reuse water
application to the Johnston County Golf and Country Club property,
Smithfield, NC - Holts Lake [03-04-02: 27-45-(12); B NSW]
Dear Bob,
This letter is in response to the letter from the Wetlands Unit (2/21/02) whereby through
a review process it was determined that the spraying of reuse water in the Neuse River
buffers is prohibited under the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). The spraying
of reuse water has been interpreted by the Wetlands Unit and others within the Raleigh
Regional Office as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption.
On behalf of the Johnston County Golf and Country Club (JCGCC), we would like to
request a major variance on this interpretation to allow the spraying of reuse water within
the buffer of a tributary to Holts Lake.
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be :5 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for

coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/L for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/100 ml, near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond PI), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/100 ml, and 220 counts/100 ml, respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.

We hope a decision can be made to maximize the use of this valuable water resource
while making this process feasible and efficient for high volume end users such as the
Johnston County Golf and Country Club. This decision is important not only to JCGCC,
but to other high volume end users and the success of future reuse programs across the
State.

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
NOTE: The variance provision of the Neuse Riparian Area Rule allows the Environmental Management
Commission to grant a variance to an affected party when the following conditions apply on a given project:
(a) practical difficulties or hardships would result from strict application of the rule:
(b) such difficulties or hardships result from conditios which are peculiar to the property involved; and
(c) the general purpose and intent of the Rule would be preserved, water quality would be protected and
substantial justice would be done if the variance were granted.
This part of the application is to explain how the project meets criteria (a) and (b).
Attach a detailed description (2-3 pages) explaining the following:
• The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from strict application of the Rule.

Part 2: Demonstration of Need for a Variance
Allowing the spraying of this high quality water within the 50 foot buffer is important to
the overall objectives of reuse programs and ultimately protecting our surface waters
from point source dischargers. The current reuse regulations specifically state that "It is
the intent of the Commission to encourage the beneficial use of the state's water
resources..." High volume end-users such as the JCGCC are key to the success of a
reuse program. It is our belief that allowing the spraying of reuse water within the buffer
of this tributary will not compromise the quality of the buffer vegetation or water entering
the stream. It is also our belief that this water should not be interpreted as water
associated with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground absorption as
discussed below.
Reuse water is highly treated wastewater that would ordinarily be directly discharged to
perennial bodies of water. Reuse water has minimal pathogens and nutrients, and is of
higher quality than storage pond water typically used in irrigation systems for golf
courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS)
must be < 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet federal shellfish standards for
coliform of < 14 counts/100 mL. Land applying reuse water will further improve its
already high quality status. The alternatives to utilizing this great water resource is
irrigating with higher quality potable water or water of lower quality from storage ponds
in terms of pathogens and nutrients. Anticipated nutrient levels for the Johnston County
reuse water are 3 mg/L and .5 mg/1,, for total nitrogen and total phosphorus respectively
(Source: Johnston County Utilities Dept., 2002) This is exceptionally high quality reuse
water when compared to other "reuse" facilities that often have total nitrogen levels of up
to 20 mg/L.
As a comparison, the groundwater standard for nitrate nitrogen is 10 mg/L. Also as a
comparison, water quality data was collected from Holts Lake near the irrigation intake
as well as other surface water sources on the golf course. Water quality data obtained
from the current irrigation source (Holts Lake) indicates levels of nutrients to be < 2
mg/L (TN) and 4.5 mg/L (TP) and fecal coliform levels to be 36 counts/ 100 mL near the
irrigation intake for the golf course. Ponds (P-1 & P-2) located in-line and adjacent to the
subject tributary have nutrient levels of < 2 mg/L (TN for pond P 1) and .06 mg/L (TP for
pond P 1), < 2mg/L (TN for pond P2) and .07 mg/L (TP for pond P2) and coliform levels
of 64 counts/100 mL and 220 counts/100 ml, respectively. These data demonstrate the
high quality of irrigation water proposed with the reuse system relative to current
irrigation sources.
Adhering to the 50 foot Neuse Buffer Rules as interpreted by water quality staff would
pose serious hardships to the operation and functioning of the JCGCC irrigation system.
Infrastructure has been installed to support a reuse irrigation system that is distinct and
separate from a conventional potable or surface water system. Therefore, if this irrigation
is considered as water related with an onsite sanitary sewage system that uses ground
absorption, irrigation could not occur on 3 entire greens and 4 entire tee boxes. Several
sprinkler heads have already been eliminated due to their proximity to wetlands and
perennial waters associated with buffer rules set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit of
DWQ (15A NCAC 2H .0200) - Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters. It is not
economically feasible to install a completely separate potable or surface water irrigation
system to compensate for this lost irrigation acreage. Adhering to the established buffer
rules for reuse water of 25 feet from surface waters, set forth by the Non-Discharge Unit
of DWQ, would allow the golf course to maintain and operate all fairways, greens, and
tees using the reuse irrigation system.
The intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules is to protect riparian vegetation, water quality, and
wetland and riparian habitats within the Neuse River Basin. Discharging very high
quality, tertiary treated reuse water within this buffer will not degrade riparian vegetation,
water quality, or riparian habitats. Benefits from using this water resource include
increased and consistent base flow of streams and surrounding wetlands, enhancement of
riparian vegetation, and eliminating a point source discharge to the Neuse River. The
intent of the Neuse Buffer Rules will be preserved, water quality will be protected and
improved, and the JCGCC will operate their reuse system efficiently and effectively.
Part 3: Water Quality Protection
Water quality will be protected on the project site primarily through responsible nutrient
management and sediment and erosion control practices. Currently, nutrients are
managed effectively by trained operators and managers with careful application of
herbicides, pesticides, and other potential water pollutants. It should be noted that this
golf course will be managed and licensed under the Neuse River Basin Nutrient
Management Training Program as of June 2002.
Also, it should be noted that several inline ponds exist on the unnamed tributary flowing
through the course as well as other depressional areas that effectively trap and sequester
sediment and nutrients prior to discharge into Holts Lake. This increased retention of
surface water flowing from course fairways, greens, and tees helps to maintain and
improve water quality.

Engineering Report
for the
As-Built Survey and Plan
of the
Country Club of Johnston County Golf Course
Irrigation System
December 2001
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide information about the as-built survey and drawing of the
irrigation system for the golf course at the Country Club of Johnston County.
General Information
The Country Club of Johnston County is located west of US Highway 301 on the north side of
Holt's Lake between the Town of Smithfield and the Town of Four Oaks in Johnston Country,
North Carolina. The golf course was constructed in the 1930's as a nine-hole golf course and
was expanded to eighteen-holes in the 1960's. The course has been irrigated using raw water
pumped from Holt's Lake via a network of piping since the original irrigation system was
installed.
During the spring of 2001, the Country Club installed a new irrigation system for the entire golf
course including tees, fairways, roughs, greens, and driving range. Purple (Pantone 522) piping
was installed for the new irrigation system in anticipation of receiving reclaimed wastewater
(reuse water) from the Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. After the
irrigation system was installed, the Country Club was informed that as-built plans of the
irrigation system, sealed by a licensed N.C. Professional Engineer must be provided to illustrate
that the new irrigation system is in conformance with reuse regulations.
Southwind Surveying and Engineering, Inc. was contracted in September 2001 by the Country
Club to prepare an as-built plan of the system and determine what changes, if any, were required
to comply with reuse regulations. Over 600 points were surveyed using a combination of survey
grade GPS and submeter GPS surveying equipment to locate sprinkler heads, valve boxes, air
release valves, wells, wetland boundaries, ponds, storm drainage pipes, drop inlets, ditches, and
property corners. As-built drawings prepared by the contractor that installed the irrigation
system were provided to indicate the sizes and locations of the new irrigation pipes. The pipes
were exposed at random locations throughout the golf course selected by the Engineer to verify
pipe sizes, location, and the color of the pipes.
Survey grade GPS equipment provides accuracy within 2 cm in unobstructed areas. Submeter
GPS surveying equipment provides a general accuracy within one meter (3.0 ft), depending on
satellite location at the time of survey, and the location of obstructions such as trees and
buildings. The proximities of sprinkler heads that were located adjacent to ponds, wetlands, or
property boundaries were verified by field measuring the distance from the sprinkler heads to the
edge of the pond, wetland, or property line.
The sprinkler head models and spray radius informations were provided by the irrigation system
designers, Smith Turf and Irrigation Designs of Charlotte, N.C., and verified in the field by the
Engineer. The spray patterns were plotted to determine whether the spray encroached on
adjacent properties, and surface water buffers. Spray heads with conflicts were replaced with
either part-circle heads or smaller radius heads. Spray heads found to be located within the
buffer zones for wetlands and surface waters were capped off and abandoned.
Wetlands
Wetlands on the golf course were delineated by The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, N.C. in
August 2000, when the original soil/site evaluation was performed. The wetland boundaries
were not surveyed at that time, and the boundary flags were not present when the as-built survey
was performed in October 2001. The Triangle Group redelineated the wetlands in October 2001
while the as-built survey was being performed. The second time, more wetland areas were
delineated than during the original delineation. The October 2001 wetland delineation was
surveyed and is shown of the as-built drawing.
Spray Limits
N.C. Administrative code section 15ANCAC2H.0200 indicates that buffer requirements from the
edge of the spray are as follows:
Property line - no buffer required. Spray must be confined to the permitted property.
Surface waters not classified SA, including wetlands require a 25-foot buffer.
Potable wells require a 100-foot buffer.
Non-potable wells require a 10-foot buffer.
In addition to these requirements, reuse water should not be sprayed in ditches or storm drainage
facilities that flow to surface water or wetlands. A 50 foot buffer is required on streams that are
subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules.
The buffers indicated above have been shown on the plans, and the spray heads have been
adjusted, replaced or abandoned to comply with the buffer requirements.
irritati,', on System
The golf course irrigation system consists of a network of 2", 2 '/z", 311, 4", 615, 8", and 10" PVC
pipes and appurtenances. Johnston County will provide reuse water to the irrigation system
through a 16" line that will enter the golf course property from the north at Packing Plant Road
(SR 1343) and connect to the golf course irrigation system at an existing 10" line that is stubbed
out between the # 12 tee box and the # 14 green.
Lids for the valve boxes are purple in color. All valves require special wrenches for operation.
All piping used for the irrigation system is purple colored, ASTM D2241, SDR 21 PVC, with
"Reclaimed Water" stamped on the pipe, except for the irrigation piping for the practice putting
green. The piping for the practice green was not replaced when the new irrigation system was
installed, and consists of standard 2" PVC piping. The piping for the practice green does not
cross any potable water or sanitary sewer lines. The valve boxes for the practice green have been
replaced with purple lids.
Once Johnston County extends the reuse supply line to the golf course, the entire course will be
irrigated with reuse water. Since there is no dual system for irrigating a portion of the course
with potable water, the Country Club desires to maintain the existing irrigation system as a back
up in case there is a problem with the reuse supply in the future. Prior to connecting the reuse
supply line to the existing irrigation system, the Country Club will cut the existing 8" line
between the lake water pumps and the irrigation system, and install valves and two above ground
stand pipes with quick connections. A flexible hose will be used to connect between the quick
connections. This will provide an air gap between the reuse source and the lake water source to
prevent potential contamination. A detail of the dual stand pipe/flexible connection arrangement
is shown on the as-built plan, and attached to this report, however it has not been constructed at
the time of this report. The country club officials have agreed to have it constructed prior to
connecting to the reuse system.
The existing irrigation system operates at approximately 80 psi using the raw water pumps and a
hydropneumatic tank. The operating pressure of the reuse supply line is expected to be
significantly higher than the existing operating pressure, therefore a pressure reducing valve will
be required where the irrigation system connects to the reuse supply line. The pressure will be
reduced to existing operating conditions, so the spray patterns for the reuse irrigation system will
be the same as the existing irrigation system. A copy of the catalog cut sheets for the spray
heads used on the irrigation system are attached. Spray patterns can easily be changed by
installing different nozzles in the spray heads, as illustrated by the catalog cut sheets.
Greens with Underdrains
Two greens on the golf course have been constructed with underdrains, hole 48 and hole #9. In
order to obtain State approval for the reuse irrigation system, The underdrains have been plugged
so that they do not drain to a drainage way or stream.
Si na e
Prior to connecting the irrigation system to the reuse system, the Country Club must erect
signage to inform the public that reclaimed wastewater is being sprayed on the golf course.
Recommended wording for the signs, "Attention - This Golf Course is Irrigated with Nonpotable
Reclaimed Water" is shown on the as-built plan. The signs are to be installed in the club house,
at the practice green, and at the tee boxes for hole #1, hole 910, and the driving range. The signs
have not been installed at the time of this report. The country club officials have agreed to install
the signs prior to connecting to the reuse system.
Potable Wells
The soil/site evaluation performed by the Triangle Group identified three water supply wells on
the golf course property. All on-site wells have been abandoned except for the one located
beside the # 14 green. This well will be converted to nonpotable use once a new water service
line is installed from Packing Plant Road. The new water service line will be installed as part of
the construction contract when the reuse supply line is installed. The existing well will be used
to irrigate the tee box for hole #14, where spray heads had to be abandoned due to reuse buffer
conflicts. A sign will be installed at the well stating "Nonpotable Water". Country Club
officials have agreed to convert the well to nonpotable use, and install the proper signage. A 10
buffer is required from the edge of the reuse spray to the nonpotable well.
Hvdrolo2y and Soils Information
The Triangle Group, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina performed a soil and site evaluation of the
golf course property during August 2000. A Soil/Site Evaluation report dated January 2001 was
prepared and includes soil and hydraulic analysis, and loading rates for the golf course property.
Copies of this report are available from Johnston County upon request.

Garner, NC 27529
Dear Mr. Massengill:
The following items will be satisfactorily corrected prior to connecting to the reuse
system:
1. Converting the well near hole #14 to nonpotable use. The county is to include a
water service from Packing Plant Road in the reuse line construction contract.
The new service line will run beside the 16" reuse line along the existing path
between #12 & 413 fairways. Roger wants to use the well to irrigate the 414 tee
box where we had to abandon the spray heads due to buffer conflicts.
2. Installing the required signs that read: "Attention - This golf course is irrigated
with nonpotable reclaimed water". Five signs required.
3. Modifying the lake water supply line so that there is an air gap to prevent
potential contamination from the reuse water. It will be a dual stand pipe
arrangement with a flexible hose connection.
Thank you for your help in this matter. Please call me at 963-3156 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Johnston County Reuse Master Plan (Johnston County Golf and Country Club)
Dear John,
This letter is being submitted as a request for the Wetlands Unit to write a letter to
Constriction Grants and moans supporting the spraying of reuse quality water into the 50
foot Neuse River Buffer Zone on a perennial tributary to ):colts fond at the Johnston
County Golf and Country Club. An associate of mine with Southwind Surveying and
Engineering has been in contact with Dan Blaisdall of CGL at which tirne Mr. Blaisdall
requested a letter from the Wetlands Unit supporting the spraying of reuse quality water
in the buffer. This letter was requested as part of the approval process of'this activity
through CGL.
Following discussions with Bob Zarzecki, we concluded that there was no language in
the Neuse River 3u.ffer Rules addressing the spraying of reuse water in the butters.
It should be noted that this irrigation water is very high quality treated water that, i.c.
minimal pathogens and nutrients, and of higher quality than storage pond water typically
used in irrigation systems for golf courses. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD)
and total suspended solids (TSS) must be :S 10 r„g/L and 5 mg/L respectively and meet
the federal shellfish standard for coliform of < 14 counts/l00n,L.
Prohibiting the spraying of this water within 50 foot zone around the perennial tributary
flowing through the golf course will interfere with the utilization of existing irrigation
equipment on several greens and tee boxes. This tributary to Holts Pond is mostly devoid
of natural vegetation through much of the golf course. Tile stream courses through the
property into several inline ponds aril travels underground in culverts under several
fairways. 't'hese inline ponds provide increased retention time for surface runoff leaving
the greens and fairways.

Allowing the spraying of this high quality water in these areas is important to the overall
objectives of reuse programs. Golf course managers need flexibility with irrigation
issues and municipalities need high volume end users to manage nutrients flowing; from
treatment plants.

Let me know if you can put together a short letter to Ilan Blaisdall and others at COL
endorsing the spraying of reuse water in the 50 foot Neuse River Buffers. This is
definitely an important decision to he made for the future of reuse programs and
integrating end users such as .1CGCC into these progrwna.
If you have any questions or want to discuss this further, please give me a. call at
