Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there inust be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWR or "the Division" The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Effluent Wastewater discharged following all treatment processes from a water pollution control facility or other point source whether treated or untreated. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply_ The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the CWA and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41]. a.

[40 CFR 403.3 (i) and 0) and 15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(11)] Interference Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The tern also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW maybe referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or 2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted flow limit or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS and ammonia; or 3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or 4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options; 5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a Significant Industrial User (SIU); or 6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a non -significant categorical Industrial User. Section B. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Version 1110912011.1 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 15 of 18 All POTWs must provide adequate notice to the Director of the following [40 CFR 122.42(b)]: 1. Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an indirect discharger, regardless of the means of transport, which would be subject to section 301 or 306 of CWA if it were directly discharging those pollutants; and 2. Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced by an indirect discharger as influent to that POTW at the time of issuance of the permit. 3. For purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice shall include information on (1) the quality and quantity of effluent introduced into the POTW, and (2) any anticipated impact that may result from the change of the quantity or quality of effluent to be discharged from the POTW. Section C. Municipal Control of Pollutants from Industrial Users. l . Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from Industrial Users discharging to the POTW may be present in the Permittee's discharge.

Asheville Regional Office 2090 US Hwy 70 Swannanoa, NC 28778 Case No. LV-2019-0336, Case No. LV-2019-0337 Dear Mr. Davidson: Concerning the above penalty assessments for the GGCC Utility WWTP, we would like to formally request a remission or mitigation on both penalties. Both instances were due to an excess of rain at the time combined with additional traffic on a holiday weekend, not any failure of the plant. The exceedance in flow was distributed over two months' DMRs as a result of the timing of the occurrence at the end of June and first part of July for -the Independence Day holiday weekend. In both instances, it is worth noting that the flow was exceeded by volume through the plant, not that there was any instance of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Paul Isenhour Laboratory Manager s Water Quality Lab & Operations, Inc. P.O.

We believe the higher flows were caused by a combination of the rainfalls received around that time, as well as the additional traffic due to the July 41h Holiday week. Were either of these to occur in a singular instance, we do believe that the plant's flows would have been compliant, but that the combination of the two contributed to and caused the non-compliance. This occurred at the same time as the previous NOV for flow, NOV-2019-LV-0556. We ask at this time that you forego assessing a civil penalty. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of further assistance.

Box 368 Linville, NC 28646 Subject: Lifting of Sewer Line Moratorium NPDES Permit NCO023124 GGCC Utility WWTP Avery County Dear Mr. Nye: On April 30, 2012, a moratorium on the issuance of sewer line permits was placed on the GGCC Utility Inc. (GGCC) WWTP per the authority of 15A NCAC 02T.0118. The rule specifies that prior to exceeding 80% of their hydraulic treatment capacities, facilities must submit an approvable engineering evaluation of their future wastewater needs before permits for sewer line extensions may be issued. Monitoring data submitted by GGCC showed the subject wastewater treatment plant operated at 80.99% of its treatment capacity during 2011. On April 13, 2015, GGCC submitted correspondence requesting the moratorium be lifted. The letter was accompanied by a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) conducted upon the GGCC collection system by McGill Associates, P.A. The SSES described investigations performed to assess the condition of the collection system and reported the results from assessments of different sections of the collection system. The SSES further described efforts made by GGCC to repair identified sources of inflow and infiltration (I&I), and provided numeric data, charts and photographs confirming the flow reductions realized as a result of the repair projects. As a result of the work performed, average annual flow to. the GGCC WWTP has been significantly reduced, reported at 0.03 MGD, or 42% of design capacity during calendar year 2014. GGCC also provided information regarding projected short and long term needs of the community for sewer service, along with projected volumes associated with sewer line projects planned for the near future. The SSES additionally described a plan to reinstitute collection system evaluation and repair efforts should flows to the WWTP again approach the 80% of design capacity level. The totality of information provided in its letter demonstrates GGCC has adequate future wastewater treatment capacity and has complied with the terms of 15A NCAC 02T.0118(1). 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Phone: 91M07-6300 \Internet www,ncwaterqualll .org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper Mr. Ted S.

WWTP. GGCC is encouraged to continue its efforts to identify and eliminate sources of I&I as it strives to provide quality wastewater treatment services. Please be aware that should flow at the wastewater treatment plant exceed applicable design capacity thresholds as stated in 15A NCAC 02T.0118, or if the facility experiences an inability to treat additional waste, a moratorium could again be imposed.

Also onsite were North Carolina Utility Commission (NCUC) staff. Overall this system is aged and has a design that is difficult to evaluate thoroughly since it is mostly a covered system. At a glance neither the WWTP nor the river indicated that the WWTP is leaking, however given its age an evaluation of the structural integrity of the system should be considered. The adjacent channel could be sampled upstream and downstream of the WWTP for bacteria as an initial indicator. As noted above, this facility is mostly covered, therefore hard to evaluate. The grates covering the access points are heavy and cumbersome. Installing handles and hinges on all or strategically chosen grates is advisable. Also, the ORC should be performing a variety of process controls (aeration DO, settleability, sludge judge etc.) and recording results for plant evaluations. The UV transmittal read out could not be evaluated as it was under repair. The ORC stated the sampler was recently set up for proper sampling with 110 ml of aliquot pulled. Staff thought there was a quick hook up for backup power, however, it was unclear where it was located. GGCC needs to have a means of backup power for the WWTP.

There did not appear to be any foam on the surface, although it was impossible to see all of the aeration basins. Chamber 7 & 3 appeared to have still areas which could indicate issues with diffusers. The ORC stated air is constantly delivered to system; it is not cycled. D.O. measurements should be a part of the ORC's process control on a regular basis: readings need to be lopped into log book and kept onsite. See summary.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples detained by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and Version 712009 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on January 19, 2005. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) provided comments on the draft NPDES permit, expressing concern over potential impacts to downstream aquatic life from this wastewater discharge. Specifically�WRC expressed concerns over the use of chlorine and its potential toxicityto aquatic Ber In response, DWQ encourages the permittee to avoid overdosing during chlorination, and to copsider UV — Ln. u S disinfection as a treatment alternative if economically and technically feasible. The WRC also expressed a concern about the reliability of the treatment plant, and DWQ responded that standby power is a requirement for all new and expanding facilities. The WRC recommended that this facility connect to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) when available, and DWQ responded that smaller facilities are encouraged to connect to regional facilities when economically and technically feasible. Finally, WRC expressed concerns about ammonia toxicity, and DWQ responded that ammonia limitations will be reevaluated if there is a change to the ammonia water quality standard, or if a site specific management strategy (per 15A NCAC 2B.0110) is developed for federally -listed threatened/endangered aquatic species in this area. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.

RE: Notice of Violation NOV-2012-LV-0587 GGCC Utility, Inc. Linville, North Carolina Dear Mr. Cranford: I received a letter from NCDENR dated November 19, 2012 for a Notice of Violation on GGCC Utility, Inc. (GGCC) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for exceeding the average monthly flow July 2012. During the month of July, 2012 there were three days in particular that the recorded flow were excessive, July 6 recorded flow 0.082 mgd, July 11 recorded flow 0.083 mgd and July 13 recorded flow 0.081 mgd. These days correspond to times of heavy rain events, which contributed to the excessive flows at the WWTP. In 2011, GGCC and McGill Associates, PA began a comprehensive evaluation of the existing sewer collection system with a goal of removing extraneous infiltration and inflow (I/I) from the wastewater collection and treatment systems. Upon completion of the sewer system evaluations and forthcoming sewer rehabilitation -projects, it is expected that the average flows will decrease. I trust that this letter will adequately address the issue of the Notice of Violation for WWTP exceeding the average flow limit allowed for the month July, 2012. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me 828-898-4531. Sincerely, C UTILITY INCaFOUTZ, HARD P.

GRANDFATHER GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB LINVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA October 2, 2012 Mr. Charles Wakild, PE NCDENR — DWQ Compliance & Expedited Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Dear Mr. Wakild: Lu E OCT 17 2012 i,JN C ,t RE: Future Wastewater Treatment Capacity GGCC Utility, Inc. I\JL a �� Linville, North Carolina k,a.,� I received a letter from NCDENR dated April 30, 2012 which imposed a sewer line moratorium on GGCC Utility, Inc. (GGCC). GGCC has been working with McGill Associates, P.A. (McGill) since 2010 on various utility projects. After consulting with Mr. Forrest Westall, PE, of McGill, I offer this letter in response to the imposed sewer line extension moratorium. According to 15A NCAC 02T .0118, "Demonstration of Future Wastewater Treatment Capacities" allows for the issuance of permits for sewer line extensions to facilities exceeding 80% of their hydraulic treatment capacity, provided that specific evaluations of future wastewater treatment needs have been completed. GGCC currently provides sanitary sewer service to 192 residential customers, the GGCC Administration building, GGCC guardhouse, and the GGCC Clubhouse. As noted in the moratorium letter, the 12-month average flow for the GGCC wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in 2011 was 0.0567 MGD (80.99% of the design flow). For the record, the average monthly flow from January 2012 through July 2012 has been 0.0590 MGD (84.29%) of the design flow. These flows have corresponded to a relatively wet year with respect to rainfall. For instance, the month of July 2012 averaged 0.0710 MGD of WWTP flow when the monthly total rainfall for July was 6.36 inches (1.08 inches above average) with rainfall on twenty-two (22) days of the month. In 2011, GGCC and McGill began a comprehensive evaluation of the existing sewer collection system with a goal of removing extraneous infiltration and inflow (I/1) from the wastewater collection and treatment systems. Upon completion of the sewer system evaluations and forthcomingsewer rehabilitation projects, it is expected that the annual average flows will decrease. Consequently, GGCC has no plans for exceeding the current hydraulic treatment capacity of the existing WWTP. P.O. Box 368, Linville, NC 28646 1 (828) 898-4531 I www.GrandfatherClubNC.com 2, 2012 JFM07ctob rles Wakild, PE The existing sewer service area for GGCC encompasses roughly one-half (1/2) of the GGCC development with wastewater disposal for the remaining residences being provided by private septic systems. There are no remaining areas within the GGCC boundaries where residential development could occur. Additionally, GGCC has no future plans to extend the public sewer collection system to the existing residences t at are currently on private septic systems. -- - GGCC does, however, have plans to add its community beach house facility to the GGCC sewer system. This decision has been reached based on the age of the septic system currently servicing the beach house facility and the position that in the long term, sewer service to the swim beach facility would be most effectively provided by the public sewer collection and treatment systems. Based on the number of fixtures within this facility, the estimated additional flow from this facility will be equal to or less than 3,800 gallons per day during the limited time in which the facility is open, which is Memorial Day through Labor Day of each year. Therefore, the addition of the beach house facility will not cause the WWTP to exceed its current hydraulic treatment capacity. A letter of request for a Fast -Track -Application sewer permit is being submitted concurrently to the Asheville Regional Office under the provisions of NCAC 02T .0118 (3) for approval of the extension of the GGCC sewer system to serve this beach house facility. I trust that this letter will adequately address the issue of future wastewater treatment needs for GGCC Utility, Inc. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me 828-898-4531 or Mr. Forrest Westall at 828- 252-0575. Sincerely I.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to the receiving- waters every day. Our -constant goal is to protect the environmental waters of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898-6277. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed. to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. We had no violations. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system. CERTIFICATION I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of: Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 OR 2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to tl'r_ _ ivision of Water Quality at the addres- __-ted below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that. all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request."

WATER QUALITY POINT SOURCE BRANCH i TjATER QUALITY SECTION ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report Grandfather Golf & Country Club NPDES #: NCO023124 Date: 2/11/09 We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898-6277. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us. first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' -volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. However, in March there was one weekly non-compliance for fecal. UV lights were cleaned and the plant was back in compliance by the next samples. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system..The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system. CERTIFICATION I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898-6277. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to . feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not'live when exposed to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. However, in January there was one weekly non-compliance for fecal. UV lights were cleaned and the plant was back in compliance by the next samples. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will- inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.

Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Settleable Solids = 300 ml/I = 30 % Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%. Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the sludge is too young. The effluent data was as follows: Dissolved Oxygen = 4.8 mg/I pH = 6.4 units Temperature = 17.3 degrees Celcius Chlorine = n/a ; Facility uses UV disinfection Effluent samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory for analyses.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898-6277. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. A PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. However, in July the plant was non- compliant for flow due to heavy rain during the month. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system. CERTIFICATION I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by GGCC Utility Inc for the month of December 2014. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No. NC0023124. The violations, which occurred in December 2014, are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that GGCC Utility Inc violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO023124 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a). Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, I, G. Landon Davidson, Regional Supervisor, Asheville Regional Office hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against GGCC Utility Inc: 2090 U.S. 70 Highway, Swannanoa, NC 28778 Phone: 828-296-4500 \ Internet: wwvw.ncdenr.gov <http:/h�tivw.nedenr.gov> An Equal Opporn unity \ Affirmative Action Employer - Made in part by recycled paper $75.00 for 1 of the 1 failures to properly monitor TOTAL N - Conc in violation of NPDES Permit No. NC0023124. $44.00 for 1 of the 1 failures to properly monitor TOTAL P - Conc in violation of NPDES Permit No. NC0023124. $119.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $159.26 Enforcement Costs $278.26 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: (1) Submit payment of the penalty, OR (2) Submit a written request for remission, OR (3) Submit a written request for an administrative hearing Option 1: Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of. NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 N Option 2: Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) dgys of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address: NPDES Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 3 Option 3: File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings: If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative hearing.

You must also complete the "Request For Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or more of the following five factors apply. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the factor applies (attach additional pages as needed). (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment document); (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences); (c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for); (d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to achieve compliance).

Dear Mr. Davidson: It is with the deepest regret that we must inform you that the aforementioned Notice of Violation is valid in what it contains: the Total Nitrogen Total Phosphorous sample for Grandfather Golf and Country Club for the 4th Quarter of 2014 was inadvertently omitted from collection. To prevent a similar incident in the future, we have implemented an additional preventative measure by creating an electronic calendar notification system. This will bolster our sampling procedure and allow us to move forward without further incident. The lst Quarter 2015 Total Nitrogen Total Phosphorous sample was collected in the first week of January, and the 2nd Quarter 2015 will be collected this week. Results of the upcoming test will be forthcoming and included on the May 2015 DMR. We have reviewed the and approved the afore mentioned measures with Mr. Ted Nye with GGCC Utility, Inc.

Linville, North Carolina Dear Ms. Wiggs: Our Office received a letter from NCDENR dated April 30, 2012 which imposed a sewer line,moratorium on GGCC Utility, Inc. (GGCC). The GGCC WWTP is permitted to discharge up t4-0.070 million gallons per day (MGD): GGCC has been working with McGill Associates, P.A: (McGill) since 2010 on various utility projects. After consulting with McGill, GGCC offers this letter in response to the imposed sewer line extension moratorium. One of the utility projects which McGill has assisted GGCC on is the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) which endeavored to assess the condition of the sewer collection system and identify sources of extraneous flow tributary to the GGCC WWTP. Through the process of the SSES a significant source of infiltration and inflow (I/I) was identified and repaired. As a result of the repair, average wastewater flow to the GGCC WWTP has been reduced to a value well below the 80 percent threshold (0.056 MGD) referenced by 15A NCAC 02T .0118. GGCC currently provides sanitary sewer service to 192 residential customers, as well as its administration building, guardhouse, swim beach and clubhouse. The existing GGCC sewer service area encompasses roughly one-half (1/2) of the development with wastewater disposal for the remaining residences being provided by private septic systems. There are minimal remaining areas within the GGCC boundaries where planned residential development could occur. Additionally, GGCC has no future plans to extend the sewer collection system to the existing residences that are currently on private septic systems. Any future collection system extensions would be incremental only and based on the individual circumstances associated with the residence or club facility. P.O. Box 368, Linville, NC 28646 (828) 898-4531 www.GrandfatherClubNC.com Enclosed with this letter are two (2) documents which illustrate the effort to reduce extraneous wastewater flow and document the resulting flows observed at the WWTP which are well below the 80% threshold. Average daily flow for the WWTP in 2014 was 0.030 MGD or 42.26% of the permitted capacity (0.070 MGD)., Also enclosed for your records is a copy of the SSES prepared by McGill. Based on this documentation, GGCC respectfully requests that the moratorium imposed on April 30, 2012 be lifted. Currently, GGCC has plans to lengthen its driving range which will impact the existing septHe , ste�a providing s )X service to its °' terua s I. c l'atity. The indoor tennis facility has ------------ an estimate aily flog 1 ahl 's per day. The sewer sys em extension to serve this GGCC facility will include approximatel- 90 � 1tnear de-t-of gravity sewer.OW In addition to the indoor tennis facility there is potential for a new residence to be constructed within GGCC which would require a 1,800 linear foot extension -of sewer collection system to provide sewer service to the new residence. At this time, the proposed residence d other neighboring residences are estimated to contribute a total of approximately 6,240 gallons per day to the GGCC sewer collection system. When considering both of the current planned additions to the GGCC sewer collection system along with the current average daily flow to the WWTP it is evident that the current potential extensions will not cause the WWTP to exceed 80% of its treatment capacity 0.056 MGD (0.030 + 0.00624 = 0.03624 MGD).

These utility services include a sanitary sewer collection system and a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) on the Club's property. - Wastewater is collected in the sanitary sewer collection system, which conveys the raw wastewater to the WWTP for treatment and eventual effluent discharge into the Linville River. In recent years, the sanitary sewer collection system has been identifiedas a potential source for excessive infiltration and inflow (I/I). I/I is defined as groundwater or storm water runoff that infiltrates or flows into a sanitary sewer collection system and I/I can create significant capacity and operational concerns for wastewater service providers like GGCC Utility Company. All sanitary sewer collection systems have some inherent amount of 1/I; but in 2011, the average treated wastewater flow at the GGCC WWTP reached eighty percent (80%) of the WWTP's permitted flow of 70,000 gallons per day (GPD). This average daily flow value for the known GGCC Service Area (in addition to consideration of recorded flows in GGCC's off season) indicate that a significant amount of I/I is entering the sanitary sewer collection system and is effectively reducing the available capacity of the GGCC wastewater utility. The intent of this Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) is to examine the existing public sewer collection system to identify areas where the Club's existing wastewater infrastructure may be replaced or repaired to reduce the amount of I/I and reclaim as much overall capacity as possible. Wastewater Collection System The wastewater collection system serving the resort generally serves the areas of the resort to the north of Bridle Trail Drive and east of Mountain Springs Road and also includes service to the clubhouse facilities and swim -beach facilities with a combination of gravity collection sewers, Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 2 2014 Sanitaiy Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study two (2) wastewater lift stations, and two (2) force mains. Since GGCC has already recently upgraded the clubhouse force main and swim -beach force main, this study will not examine those collection system components further. The service area of concern for this study has been developed based upon design plans provided by maintenance staff and through field investigations of the resort's gravity collection sewer systems. Throughout the field investigation phase of this study, a list of sections of sewer to be repaired or replaced was developed and are identified in the mapping appendices of this report. In most cases, a sewer collection system's I/1 is difficult to identify fully in the SSES phase; but, a follow-up field inspection of the GGCC collection system in 2013 yielded a significant source of 1/I. It was repaired immediately by GGCC staff and resulted in a significant reduction of the average treated flows at the WWTP. Subsequently, even if GGCC staff desires to further reduce I/1 on its own accord, this study will discuss further investigations to perform and allow more complete identification of replacement/repair projects. Wastewater Treatment Plant The resort currently treats collected wastewater at its own WWTP located adjacent to the maintenance facility and the dam. This plant was first installed and placed into service around 1970. The original WWTP included influent screening to remove inorganic solid contaminates, extended aeration to allow biological reduction of physical and chemical contaminates, clarification to allow treated contaminates to settle out of suspension, sand filters to further clarify the treated water, and finally, a chlorine contact tank for disinfection to kill any microbial organisms. During the life of the WWTP, its treatment process has been modified to eliminate the sand filters and replace the chlorine contact tank with ultra -violet lamps for effluent disinfection. It remains in this state today. The permitted plant capacity is currently 70,000 GPD and [according to monthly reports filed with the state for the last eight (8) years], the plant treats approximately 52,000 GPD, on average (as of the beginning of this study in 2012). Some smaller periods of time (i.e. the 2011 calendar year) experienced higher than average flows, which could be contributed to a number of factors not directly tied to sanitary sewer usage, but which, caused the State to impose a sewer line Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 3 2014 Sanitary Setiver Linville, North Carolina Evahiation Study extension moratorium. Furthermore, during past holiday periods when occupancy of the resort is at a maximum and during past periods of wet weather, the WWTP has experienced a significant increase in wastewater flow, which has exceeded the permitted discharge quantity of 70,000 GPD. While not a main focus of the SSES and reduction of UI, the WWTP has more than twenty (20) concrete basins that are. buried and in service below the ground at the WWTP site and are adjacent to the Linville River where the groundwater table is expectedly high. If GGCC staff would decide to further reduce I/I and actual sewer flows, further evaluation of the integrity of these sub -grade basins would be advisable. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 4 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evahiation Study SECTION II BACKGROUND The Grandfather Golf & Country Club is located at the base of the historic Grandfather Mountain, in Linville, North Carolina. Being recognized by Avery County and the surrounding areas as its own township, GGCC provides a full spectrum of public services and amenities within its community making it one of the premier resort communities in the Western North Carolina Mountains. Those services include, but are not limited to, water production, water supply, wastewater collection, and wastewater disposal. These services fall under the responsibility of the resort's Public Works and Facilities Director and the Operations and Maintenance staff. The resort contracts with a licensed water and wastewater operator to . manage and oversee the operations of the resort's water supply and wastewater treatment. Much of the water and wastewater infrastructure within the resort was designed and installed .around 1970. Some additional infrastructure was added or replaced as specific needs have arisen, but the system remains primarily in its original state. A 2010 water service outage (along with the age of the existing water distribution systems) resulted in the resort operations and maintenance staff s evaluation of the existing water and wastewater systems, their current capacities, and theirexpected expected future demands. , The sanitary sewer collection system currently serves 150 condominiums, 42 homes, the clubhouse facility, swim -beach facility, administration building, and security guard house. The overall average daily flow at the WWTP is approximately 52,000 GPD (as of the beginning of this study in 2012). McGill Associates was contacted in July 2010 to review issues with the potable water system; and'through subsequent discussions with GGCC staff, was told of issues with various aspects of the wastewater collection and disposal system. From these initial discussions, high priority wastewater projects were undertaken. These projects included improvements to the clubhouse lift station, re-routing the club house force main, constructing a new submersible sewer pump station and force main to serve the swim -beach facility, and beginning this SSES for the wastewater collection system. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 5 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Improvements to the clubhouse lift station were performed to bring the facility up to current building codes -including replacing the electrical control panel and light fixture, replacing the access door, re-routing influent lines, and installing vent pipes and exhaust fans. During the summer season of 2011, the Clubhouse Force Main and septic disposal system at the swim -beach facility were identified to be decommissioned and were replaced. Therefore, a new force man was constructed beginning at the Clubhouse Lift Station and extending northeast toward a gravity manhole located near the Number 18 tee on the club's golf course. Additionally, in 2013 (in an effort to be proactive) GGCC staff ordered the swim -beach septic system to be replaced with the construction of a new submersible wastewater pump station to convey the wastewater from the swim -beach facility to the clubhouse lift station through a new 2-inch diameter force main that was installed along Clubhouse Drive. The SSES is one method of analysis that is intended to be used by GGCC to prioritize repairs to the existing gravity sewer collection system which conveys sanitary sewer to the WWTP. This will allow GGCC to avoid more costly repairs in the future and to make better use of limited resources. The study will consist of several components: •. Give a broad overview of the collection system. • Identify repair items that are observable from the surface and prepare anticipated costs for the proposed repairs. Identify areas requiring further investigation -such as flow metering, closed -camera television inspection, and smoke testing all as a means of identifying and eliminating infiltration and inflow. Grandfather Golf & Country Chub Page 6 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Wastewater Collection System Mappiniz Existing mapping for the sanitary sewer collection system (which was available for this study) was limited to the design plan sheets for the original sewer line construction project. This project was undertaken in approximately 1978 as substantial expansion of the sanitary sewer collection system. While empirical knowledge of the existing sewer system has served GGCC well in the past, one of the first tasks for this study was to verify and update the written information (design plans) based upon that same knowledge and also by direct physical observation. The result of the initial mapping effort can be found in Appendix 1 of this report and it includes all identified publicly owned sewers serving the GGCC community. Note that no sewer service lines connecting individual homes or condominiums to the public sewer system were mapped or inspected as part of this study. The service area for the GGCC sanitary sewer collection system generally includes the areas of the resort to the. north of Bridle Trail Drive and east of Mountain Springs Road, but also, includes service to the clubhouse facilities and swim -beach facilities with a combination of gravity collection sewers, two (2) wastewater lift stations, and two (2) force mains. Please note that some homes and structures may have individual "private" grinder pump systems that collect wastewater from their respective building(s) and convey that waste stream through an individual, privately owned, small -diameter force main to the public gravity sewer line. Figure Il-1 on the following page (also included in Appendix 1) provides an overall map of the sanitary sewer collection system and the nine (9) areas which were created within the system for the purposes of this study. The routes of these nine (9) areas are also described in the following pages.

GGCC WWTP Area 1 represents the highest extents of the sewer system reaching to the end of Boulder Ridge Road and also to the highest point on Mountain Springs Road and then following Mountain Springs Road down to a manhole approximately 425 linear feet from the intersection with Bridle Trail Road. Area 2 begins at the termination manhole for Area 1 and continues down Mountain Springs Road, across Bridle Trail Road and off -road to the northwest and the end of Wildflower Road. Further, Area 2 includes an off -road spur sewer line which extends north and east following the existing topography as it crosses Buckeye Road in a second location. Area 2 also includes a short off -road spur sewer line, which extends southeast from Buckeye Road at the point where the lower section of Area 2 turns north toward Wildflower Road. Area 3 of the sanitary sewer collection system has its highest points to the south where it crosses and then follows the south section of Wildflower Road. Sewer flows downhill in Area 3 to the north and off -road from Wildflower Road before reaching the intersection of Wildflower and Bridle Trail Roads where it connects to Area 4, the next section of the sewer system downstream. Area 3 also includes an off -road spur sewer line that extends from the middle of the off -road I ection to the northeast and near the extent of service area 2. Area 4 begins at the termination point of Area 3 (at the intersection of Bridle Trail and Wildflower Roads) and follows Bridle Trail Road to the northwest, intersects Mountain Springs Road, and then continues along Mountain Springs Road to the north where it ends at a manhole common to Areas 4, 5 and 6. Area 5 is immediately downstream of Area 2 and follows the northern section of Wildflower Road to the west before continuing west and off -road toward Mountain Springs Road. Once Area 5 reaches Mountain Springs Road, it turns south and extends to the manhole common to Areas 4, 5, and 6. Area 6 is immediately downstream of Areas 4 and 5 and extends off -road across Golf Hole Numbers 2 and 11 toward Golf Course Road, eventually reaching Grassy Creek Road and then Grandfather Golf & Country Chib Page 9 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study crossing Hole Number 18 where it ends at its lowest point on the northwestern side of the Hole Number 18 fairway at the existing foot bridge across the Linville River. Area 7 connects at the immediate downstream point of Area 6 and crosses the Linville River as an aerial sewer line enclosed in the foot bridge structure before turning southwest and following the western shore of the riverbank down to the south end of "the Island" where it connects to Area 9 at its lowest point. Area 7 also connects to Area 8, which serves "the Island" and crosses the river with its own aerial installation. Area 9 begins just south of the intersection point of Areas 7 and 8 and extends along the western shore of Loch Dornie before projecting into Woodchuck Road and following the maintenance drive access, then turning off -road across the soccer/recreation field and eventually terminating at the WWTP below the dam. In all, the gravity sections of the sanitary sewer collection system serve a total of 150 condominiums, 42 homes, the clubhouse facility, swim -beach facility, administration building, and the- security guardhouse located across the resort. The 2-inch diameter force main sewer from the swim -beach facility begins at its pump station (adjacent to the swim -beach pavilion) and follows Clubhouse Road to the clubhouse entrance, through its parking lot to the back side of the building and discharges into the Clubhouse Pump Station. Similarly, the 6-inch diameter force main sewer from the Clubhouse Pump Station exits the station and follows the cart path for Hole Number 18 to a gravity sewer manhole located in a landscaping bed between the green for Hole Number 17 and tee for Hole Number 18. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 10 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evahiation Study SECTION III SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM The existing sanitary sewer collection system is owned by GGCC Utility, Inc., a subsidiary of the Grandfather Golf and Country Club. That collection system is comprised of gravity sewers, manholes, a submersible grinder pump station, a suction -lift pump station, and force main sewers. Refer .to Table III-1 below for a list of the approximate existing lengths, materials, and other properties of the existing sewer infrastructure serving the GGCC community.

Understanding that the Grandfather Golf and Country Club is primarily a seasonal or vacation home resortand that it essentially closes from early November until the middle of May, the observed sanitary sewer flows should be Grandfather Golf c& Country Club Page 11 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study significantly lower during periods of low -resort occupancy. However, historical flow records from the WWTP do not support that expectation. Having sustained flows at the WWTP during off-season times indicates that extraneous ground water and .storm drainage is reaching the sanitary sewer collection system, which can cause sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's) that result in impending fines from the State of North Carolina. Additionally, these extraneous flows reduce the available capacity of the existing sanitary sewer collection system, which limits potential expansion or growth and increased revenue for the GGCC Utility Co. Initial on -site investigations performed as part of this study of the sanitary sewer collection system consisted of opening the manhole lids on the majority of the collection system and performing a visual inspection of the manhole and the sewer pipelines connected to it. This exercise yielded valuable information for needed manhole repairs that will reduce groundwater infiltration and also confirmed that the actual flow in the sanitary sewer collection system was greater than expected during periods of low club occupancy. Confirmation of the unexpected high flow records during periods of low occupancy when combined with review of the initial collection system design documents further indicates that the sanitary sewer collection system is in some locations a source of extraneous flow at the WWTP. All factors of consideration (field observations, flow records, and design documents) combine to indicate that the gravity sections of the GGCC sanitary sewer system are in relatively fair condition, but that manhole integrity is suspect in some locations and pipeline integrity may also be compromised in certain locations. The system map and areas of analysis described elsewhere in this report, along with the photographic documentation provided in Section V, will help to pinpoint the most likely areas which are in need of improvement to reduce extraneous flow into the sewer collection system. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 12 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evahtation Study SECTION IV WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT & OBSERVED ' FLOWS The existing GGCC WWTP was constructed during the same era as much of its sewer collection system (1960's) and utilizes technology contemporary to that time and a conventional treatment process to treat and reduce contaminates from the waste stream before discharging the plant's effluent into the Linville River. The GGCC WWTP operates under the authority of the State of North Carolina, who issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES). A copy of the NPDES Permit held by GGCC (Permit No. NC 0023124) is included in Appendix 3 of this report. That permit outlines the concentration limitations of pollutants discharged from the WWTP to the river. The primary permit limitation is realized in the volume of effluent discharged daily expressed in million gallons per day (MGD). The discharge limit for the GGCC WWTP's daily volume is 0.070 MGD or 70,000 GPD and it is this parameter which essentially expresses the capacity of the WWTP as a whole. All other processes are designed and sized to handle up to the permitted flow while treating the waste stream to the permitted pollutant concentrations. The original WWTP included influent screening to remove inorganic solid contaminates, extended aeration to allow biological reduction of physical and chemical contaminates, clarification to allow treated contaminates to settle out of suspension, sand filters to further clarify the treated water, and finally, a chlorine contact tank for disinfection to kill any microbial organisms. The treatment process has been modified gradually over the WWTP's life span to its current state by eliminating the sand filters and replacing the chlorine contact tank with ultra- violet lamps to achieve effluent disinfection. The WWTP is an important part of the wastewater infrastructure in relation to this study because the WWTP represents the metering point for the daily volume of wastewater treated, and indirectly the daily volume of wastewater captured by the sewer collection system. This daily volume collected is comprised of true sanitary sewer and groundwater (or storm drainage) that represents extraneous flow. Grandfather Golf & Counby Club Page 13 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study In the following pages, this study will present several graphical representations of the measured daily WWTP flow plotted against measured daily rainfall at the registered weather station at Grandfather Mountain in an effort to identify any correlation between rainfall and observed wastewater flow at the WWTP. The period of analysis and comparison of wastewater flow against rainfall will encompass the 2011, 2012, and 2013 calendar years and the following paragraphs offer written analysis of the graphical data. In 2011, there is no clear correlation between rainfall and daily flow at the GGCC WWTP. Figure IV-1 (presented on the following page and also found in Appendix 2) shows weekly periodic trends, with higher flows on weekends and less wastewater on typical weekdays. Weekly trends are relatively constant from January through mid -June, with daily flow typically remaining between 0.045 and 0.055 MGD. In mid -June, however, the total daily flow increases by approximately 20%. A broad examination of the 2011 flows, known periods of occupancy (summer season & holidays), and rainfall data indicates that the recorded WWTP flow data should be discounted perhaps due to poor calibration of the plant's flow meter: Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 14 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Figure IV-1 — 2011 WWTP Flow Records & Rainfall Data (UI) II0}u108 i IS 8 S 8 S 8 r 4 0 � 8 0T 6 e d 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 a (Goo) 0308 M61ZI Grandfather Golf & Counhy Club Page 15 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study In 2012, daily flow rates are not as consistent as observed in 2011, and weekly periodic trends are not as uniform. This is likely due, at least in part, to the emergence of a positive correlation between daily flow rate and rainfall. This emergence could be attributed to a number of factors. ranging from operator or equipment error in 2011 (that was corrected in 2012) or it simply could be that actual extraneous flow in the sewer collection system increased in 2012 due to changing system conditions. In addition to the emerging correlation between rainfall and observed flow, the data for 2012 indicates that several periods of elevated daily flow occurred around holidays - most notably Easter, in early April; and Christmas, at the end of December. Refer to Figure IV-2 on the following page and also in Appendix 2 for the graphical representation of the 2012 wastewater flow and rainfall data. Though the observed flow rate does not always rise during rainfall events, a correlation between rainfall and daily flow begins to develop in the fall of 2012, as shown in Figure IV-2 (presented on the following page and also found in Appendix 2). Data from September and early October shows large daily flow increases on the weekends, likely a result of increasing occupancy for the fall season and large rainfall events. It is important to note one apparent outlier data point is found on September 5, 2012, when a daily flow of 0.323 MGD was observed. This value is more than three (3) times the expected value for that season and nearly double any other value observed between 2011 and 2013. For the purposes of this study, it was assumed that this outlier was the result of an erroneous data recording.

Rainfall events in that time_ period caused daily flow rates at the GGCC WWTP to increase.in nearly every instance, as shown in Figure IV-3 (presented on the following page and also in Appendix 2). Notably, high precipitation causes significantly elevated flow rates in January and on several different occasions in March. Weekly trends continue, as in 2011 and 2012. However, the elevated flow rate during the summer varies more dramatically than previous years. Also of importance for commentary on the observed 2013 data is that an infiltration/inflow source was discovered in the spring of 2013 during one of the field investigation efforts associated with this study. This particular source of I/I was then repaired by GGCC staff later in the spring. Consequently, the latter half of the year does not show daily flow rate increases as large as those in the first half of the year and the overall daily flow is reduced significantly. Though rainfall appears to be associated with high flow rates in late November, the daily flow rate remains high for several days, similar to late December, likely indicating the elevated flow rates are more closely related to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays than rainfall.

The timing of the site visit and inspection is important for two reasons: 1. According to resort staff, there are approximately ten (10) year-round residents, with the majority of the residents being present during the summer months. As a result, there should be little wastewater generated during the winter months. 2. The multi -day rain event fully saturated the soil, increasing the potential for infiltration into the sanitary sewer collection system. During this field investigation visit, high amounts of flow were observed and several areas were identified as most likely I/I contribution areas that will requiring further evaluation, rehabilitation or replacement. Conversely, several areas inspected at the end of this rain event had little or no observable flow; and therefore, do not require additional evaluation beyond the scope of this study. As an aid in illustrating the areas in need of repair and further analysis, a system map has been prepared to accompany this report identifying those areas that are most likely contributors of I/I. The concerns can be summarized as follows: Grandfather Golf & Country Chub Page 20 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Figure V-1 — Collection System Manhole Figure V-1 depicts a collection system manhole located at the intersection of Club House Road and Woodchuck Road (Area 9). As is evident in the picture, the manhole is located in a depression and the open vent holes in the cover are allowing p'onding water to enter the collection system. This -manhole cover and others like it could be replaced with a solid lid and watertight disc to: prevent infiltration through the ring and lid. This is a low-cost repair/ improvement that could be undertaken immediately by the Operation and Maintenance staff for this particular and other select manholes to eliminate some 1/I while _maintain proper ventilation for the .sewer collection system. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 21 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Figure V-2 — Collection System Manhole Figure V-2 depicts the same manhole from Figure V-1 (located at the intersection of Clubhouse Road and Woodchuck Road)- and illustrates a source of high infiltration. Notice that the walls of the brick and mortar manhole are nearly entirely wet, which indicates ground water has infiltrated the manhole. In fact,: significant streams of infiltrating groundwater were observed seeping through mortar joints in the wall. It is estimated that this manhole can be replaced at a cost of approximately $6,000.00. If the manhole is determined to be structurally sound, the cost of repointing the mortar joints is estimated to be approximately $500.00 (assuming the mortar work would be completed by GGCC Staff). A more expensive but - much more effective alternative to re -pointing mortar joints would be'to have the manhole lined with a water -tight performance coating. Costs for such work would vary significantly depending upon the number of manholes treated in one instance and their exact cost should be evaluated further if.a more comprehensive manhole rehabilitation project were desired. Please also note that any of these replacement/repair options could be achieved in conjunction with the replaced manhole lid described after Figure V-1. Grandfather Golf & Country Cluh Page 22 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Figure V-3 — Collection System Manhole Figure V-3 depicts a collection system manhole located between Condominium Clusters 4 & 13 (Area 9). The observed flow.: in this manhole was unexpectedly high, indicating I/I upstream of this point. Note that the majority of the subject flow is coming from the black pipe located in the top of the picture. The flow was coming,directly from the clusters and; accordingto resort staff, -each of the units has been winterized, which should result in no flow. Please also note that prior to the release of this report, GGCC maintenance staff investigated this line further and found a section of this sewer service line that had been essentially crushed and was allowing a large volume of groundwater to infiltrate the collection system. This section of collapsed pipe was replaced by GGCC staff in the spring of 2013 and subsequent flows at the WWTP were reduced by a sizable amount. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 23 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Figure V-4 — Collection System Manhole Figure V-4 depicts two (2) manholes located near Maple Leaf Road (Area 2 near intersection of Bridle Trail, Mountain Springs and Buckeye Roads) which are in need of repair. The picture above is of one (1) of these manholes. Large amounts of water were observed seeping through mortar joints in the wall. It is estimated that each of these manholes could be replaced at a cost of approximately $6,000.00. If the manholes were determined to be structurally sound, the cost of repointing the mortar joints is estimated to be approximately $500.00 (assuming the mortar work would be completed by GGCC Staff). Similar to the repair/replacement options found for the manhole at the intersection of Clubhouse and Woodchuck Roads a more expensive but much more effective alternative to re -pointing mortar joints would be to have the problematic manholes lined with a water -tight performance coating. Costs for such work would vary significantly depending upon the number of manholes treated in one instance and their exact cost should be evaluated further if a more comprehensive manhole rehabilitation project were desired. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 24 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study Additionally, during the referenced site visit, we determined that a source of infiltration is located in.a section of sewer on Bridle Trail Road between the golf course and Wildflower Road, shown as Area 4 in the attached exhibits. We were also able to determine that at least two (2) sources of infiltration are located near the intersection of Buckeye Road and Bridle Trail Road, shown as Area 2 in the attached exhibits. These areas should be investigated further to determine the source and extent of infiltration. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 25 2014 Sanitary Server Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study SECTION VI FURTHER EVALUATION/ - RECOMMENDATIONS During the preparation of this report, two (2) sources of high infiltration were found and one (1) has been corrected by GGCC staff. The corrected source is referenced on Page 23 of this report and was caused by t, ci,us ,M sewez +-rvlce ,, e, which was located within the groundwater table. The day after the crushed pipe was repaired, a. ryp in flo sf approximately 35,000 gallons was observed at the treatment plant according to GGCC staff. The second source of high infiltration is a manhole located within the club's golf course that appears to drain a swale. GGCC staff has solicited costs from contractors and intends to have this manhole repaired in the near future. As discussed in this report, further evaluation of the existing sanitary sewer collection system would consist of closed-circuit camera investigation and smoke testing in Areas 1, 2, 4-9 as labeled on the system map prepared for this report, as well as flow monitoring at select locations. It is recommended that should flow -monitoring be pursued, that the flow -monitoring equipment be installed at strategic locations. This equipment will help identify the areas with highest amounts of infiltration and inflow and will help in prioritizing repairs. We have identified four (4) areas for the installation of flow monitoring equipment and have labeled them on the system map(s) provided in Appendix 1. It is important to note that given the information gathered from flow -monitoring, and considering the findings of this. SSES, it .is likely more cost effective for GGCC to delay further investigation by flow monitoring until other methods of further investigation (close -circuit television) are completed. Smoke testing is another alternative for investigation and performing this work on all areas noted above would total approximately 11,500 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe. Smoke testing consists of forcing artificial smoke into the sanitary sewer collection system with a fan and smoke machine. After the tested segment of the collection system is filled with smoke, the cracks and gaps in the collection system will allow the smoke to escape, which should then emerge through any leaks or otherwise defective pipe. Grandfather Golf & Country Club Page 26 2014 Sanitary Sewer Linville, North Carolina Evaluation Study It should be noted that the smoke used is not toxic; however, it has a strong odor. Additionally, correctly installed and functioning traps in the plumbing systems of a building will prevent smoke from entering structures. To achieve the smoke testing work, close coordination with property owners will be a high priority, especially since many houses may have dry traps as a result of extended periods of vacancy. Also critical to the success of smoke testing is coordination with the , concurrent weather in seeking a period of time with no rainfall. Smoke testing is inherently ineffective during periods of wet weather since the additional moisture inhibits smoke travel and identification. Recommendations McGill Associates has previously provided an anticipated fee to perform an Infiltration and Inflow (I/1) study of the collection system after completion of the SSES. The I/1 study is a detailed and time -intensive study of the system that will rely upon the findings of this SSES to help pinpoint specific infiltration sources, as opposed to the general areas identified in this report. Due to the eliminated sources of high infiltration and the cost of the 1/I study, it is recommended that the initiation of the 1/I study be delayed unless sustained wastewater flows again approach eight percent (80%) of the permitted WWTP capacity. It is important to note that given the information gathered from this SSES, it would be practical for GGCC to pursue the rehabilitation/repair/replacement of the needs identified in Section III of this report as resources can be allocated. These repairs would be independent of any further evaluation and could be achieved individually or in a more comprehensive sewer rehabilitation project.

(GGCC) WWTP per the authority of 15A NCAC 02T.0118. The rule specifies that prior to exceeding 80% of their hydraulic treatment capacities, facilities must submit an approvable engineering evaluation of their future wastewater needs before permits for sewer line extensions may be issued. Monitoring data submitted by GGCC showed the subject wastewater treatment plant operated at 80.99%h, of its treatment capacity during 2011. On April 13, 2015, GGCC submitted correspondence requesting the moratorium be lifted. The letter was accompanied by a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) conducted upon the GGCC collection system by McGill Associates, P.A. The SSES described investigations performed to assess the. condition of the collection system and reported the results from assessments of different sections of the collection system. The SSES further described efforts made by GGCC to repair identified sources of inflow and infiltration (I&I), and provided numeric data, charts and photographs confirming the flow reductions realized as a result of the repair projects. As a result of the work performed, average annual flow to the GGCC WWTP has been significantly reduced, reported at 0.03 MGD, or 42% of design capacity during calendar year 2014. GGCC also provided information regarding projected short and long term needs of the community for sewer service, along with projected volumes associated with sewer line projects planned -for the near future. The SSES additionally described a plan to reinstitute collection system evaluation and repair efforts should flows to the WWTP again approach"the 80% of design capacity level. The totality of information provided in its letter demonstrates GGCC has adequate future wastewater treatment capacity and has complied with the terms of 15A NCAC 02T.0118(1). 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Phone: 919-807-63001Intemet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer - Made in part by recycled paper Mr. Ted S. Nye NC0023124 Lift Moratorium p. 2 In light of these findings, and upon the recommendation of the Asheville Regional Office, the Division of Water Resources formally removes the moratorium on the issuance of sewer line permits placed on the GGCC Utility, Inc. WWTP. GGCC is encouraged to continue its efforts to identify and eliminate sources of I&I as it strives to provide quality wastewater treatment services. Please be aware that should flow at the wastewater treatment plant exceed applicable design capacity thresholds as stated in 15A NCAC 02T.0118, or if the facility experiences an inability to treat additional waste, a moratorium could again be imposed.

Subsequent to issuance of this permit, GGCC discovered that existing site conditions and the existing on -site septic system serving the club's existing fitness center would not be impacted by proposed site improvements to the driving range. Therefore, GGCC has decided to postpone abandonment of the septic system; and consequently, will not install the full sewer system extension as permitted. As per previous discussions between McGill and your office, please accept this letter on behalf of GGCC as a formal request to modify the subject sewer system extension permit to include only 276 LF of the original 1,000 LF of 8" gravity sewer, along with manholes and related appurtenances. Further, this requested permit modification removes all flow allocated in the subject permit and establishes this segment of line as a "zero flow" dry -line for future permit modification through your office to reallocate flow to the extension project. As discussed previously, we have enclosed a check for the application fee of $480 with this transmittal. If you have any questions during your review or require further information regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact us at (828) 328-2024.

W-755 .E NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of Application by G. F. Company, P.O. Box 278, Linville, North Carolina, for Authority to Transfer Control of Utility Franchise' to Grandfather Golf and Country Club, Post Office Box. 368, Linville, North Carolina ORDER GRANTING AUTHORITY FOR TRANSFER OF UTILITY FRANCHISE THIS MATTER came before the Public Conference of the Utilities Commission on March 22 and March 29, 1982, based on an application filed on March 3, 1982, requesting authority to change control of its water and utility franchise (Utility) through a transfer of common stock and assets now held by the parent company, Grandfather Enterprises, Inc. (GEI) to Grandfather' Golf and Country Club (Country Club). Based upon that application, as well as representations made in behalf of G. F. Co. and Country Club by their counsel, Charles D. Case, of the law firm of Allen, Steed and Allen, P.A., by letter to Joseph W. Smith, Commission Staff member, dated March 11, 1982, the Commission hereby makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. GEI presently owns all the stock of G. F. Co. The Utility which serves the customers who live on three tracts of land in Avery County, North Carolina „ comprising 959 acressurrounding the Country Club, is owned and operated by G. F. Co. 2. There were 151 water customers and 149 sewer customers as of December 31, 1981. These customers are charged a flat rate of $10.50 per month for water and $10.50 per month for sewer services; and the Country Club is charged $308.33-monthly for water and $308.33 monthly for sewer services. There are tap -on fees ranging from $95.00 to $154.00 and plant recovery fees ranging from $728.00 to $794.00. These fees were approved by the Commission in its recent Order, Docket No. W-271, Sub 3, dated December 30, 1981. 3. The sale and transfer of the Utility to the Country Club will be accomplished through the transfer of 90,000 shares of common stock presently held by GEI to the Country Club for $100,000. The Country Club will acquire the assets of the Utility and will assume the loan outstanding from NCNB of about $2,000,000 of which about $524,000 had been spent for water and sewer plant construction as of 12/31/80, the test year period used'in the general rate case referred to above. Soon after the transfer, the loan from NCNB will be completely paid off, leaving the Country Club virtually debt free. P pp 4. All customers of the Utility are, or will become, members of the Country Club through the payment of a membership fee. There are, and will continue to be, approximately 67% of the Country Club members who are not customers of the Utility. 5. As directed in the recent general rate Order, Docket No. W-271, Sub 3, one chlorinator is now operating, and the stock purchase agreement provides for the installation and operation of the second chlorinator as required in paragraph 1 of the decretal portion of said Order. 6. As indicated on page 7 of that Order, all issues relating to the percentage of the utility plant currently in service were resolved in the Order. Applicants in this matter stipulate that said percentage will not be affected solely by virtue of this proposed transaction, and will depend on future showings of the amount of development actually in place. 7. The consummation of this transaction will not affect the rate base of the utility company. 8. That neither the stock nor the fiscal assets involved here have been, nor will they be, pledged as collateral for any loans beyond those pledges shown in documents previously submitted to the Commisison in connection with Docket No. 271, Sub 3. These pledges were in connection with the NCNB loan that will be liquidated after the transfer takes effect. 9. That separate books and other accounting procedures will be maintained pursuant to the Uniform -System of Accounts for Water and Sewer Utilities as promulgated by the National Association of Utility Commissioners to facilitate financial reivew for purposes of any future Commission review. 10. That no contributions made by the customers in aid of construction will be used for any other purpose. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW From a review and study of the application, its supporting data, representations by the Applicants through their counsel, and other information in the Commission's files, the commission is of the opinion and so concludes that: 1. The transactions herein proposed are: (a) For a lawful object within the corporate purposes of the Applicants; i (b) Compatible with the public interest; (c) Necessary and approporiate for and consistent with the proper performance by Applicants of their service to the public and will not impair their ability to perform that service; and (d) Reasonably necessary and appropriate for such purposes. 2. The Utility's rates will remain subject to Utility Commission's scrutiny and review after consummation of this transaction. 2 PP 7ER1FORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: (1) That G. F. Co. be granted authority to sell and transfer the franchise and assets of its Utility operations to the Grandfather Golf and Country Club Organization on -the terms and conditions stated in the application and additional information furnished the Commision through writtten correspondence by Applicants' attorneys; . (2) That after the sale and transfer has been consummated that Country Club will within 180 days advise the Commission in writing why it should not set up a complete and separate Utility entity.

Beach Improvements Project Wastewater Collection System Extension Avery County Dear Mr. Platek: Dee Freeman Secretary This letter is in response to your request to waive a moratorium placed on sewer line extensions for the subject utility. Your letter details a series of steps GGCC is planning to take in order to address inflow and infiltration (1/1) problems within its collection system. The letter notes that upon completion of the sewer system evaluations and forthcoming sewer rehabilitation projects, it is expected that the annual average flows will decrease. While the above information is very encouraging, it does not satisfy the terms of the Rule such that the moratorium can be lifted. The Rule is explicit instating the required elements of an approvable engineering evaluation of future wastewater needs and what information must be submitted for review, especially if no expansion of the treatment plant is proposed. It is anticipated that submittal of the above -mentioned evaluations, including an 1/1 study report, accompanied by growth projections and the analysis of future wastewater treatment alternatives, should fully satisfy the terms of the Rule. The Division will gladly review those materials upon submittal and consider your request for lifting the moratorium. In your letter, you also requested consideration of a sewer project that would serve a community beach house. This project is anticipated to contribute an additional 3,800 GPD, during the limited time the facility is open, to the wastewater treatment plant. Per the terms of 15A NCAC 02T .0118, the Division may issue permits, on a case by case basis, to facilities exceeding the 80 percent loading rate if: 1) the additional flow will not cause the facility to exceed its permitted hydraulic capacity, 2) the facility is in compliance with all other permit limitations and requirements and 3) it is demonstrated that adequate progress is being made in developing the required engineering evaluations or plans and specifications. Following a review of the pertinent facts in this matter, I have found that the GGCC Utility has satisfied the criteria stated above. Therefore, based -upon this finding and upon the recommendation of the staff of the Asheville Regional Office, I hereby grant GGCC Utility a SURFACE WATER PROTECTION — ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, NC 28778rt NOrthCarOliria Phone: (828) 296-4500 FAX: (828) 299-7043 ort h sirrr//ni Zachary Platek October 30, 2012 Page 2 of 2 waiver of the sewer line moratorium for the 3,800 GPD Beach Improvements sewer project.

Any future issuance of sewer line permits will have to be approved in the same fashion until GGCC Utility has fully complied with the terms of15A NCAC 02T .0118. Furthermore, GGCC Utility is responsible for acquiring all necessary permits for the sewer projects before construction can proceed. Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.

NCDENR — DWQ Compliance & Expedited Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Dear Mr. Wakild: GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB LINVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA r t +i. RE: Future Wastewater Treatment Capacity GGCC Utility, Inc. Linville, North Carolina I received a letter from NC.DENR dated April 30, 2012 which imposed a sewer line moratorium on GGCC Utility, Inc, (GGCC). GGCC has been working with McGill Associates, P.A. (McGill) since 2010 on various utility projects. After consulting with Mr. Forrest Westall, PE, of McGill, I offer this letter in response to the imposed sewer line extension moratorium. According to 15A NCAC 02T .0118, "Demonstration of Future Wastewater Treatment Capacities" allows for the issuance of permits for sewer line extensions to facilities exceeding 80% of their hydraulic treatment capacity, provided that specific evaluations of future wastewater treatment needs have been completed. GGCC currently provides sanitary sewer service to 192 residential customers, the GGCC Administration building, GGCC guardhouse, and the GGCC Clubhouse. As noted in the moratorium letter, the 12-month average flow for the GGCC wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in 2011 was 0.0567 MGD (80.99% of the design flow). For the record, the average monthly flow from January 2012 through July 2012 has been 0.0590 MGD (84,29%) of the design flow. These flows have corresponded to a relatively wet year with .respect to rainfall. For instance, the month of July.2012 averaged 0.0710 MGD of WWTP flow when the monthly total rainfall .for July was 6.36 inches (1.08 inches above average) with rainfall on twenty-two (22) days of the month. hi 2011, GGCC and McGill began a comprehensive evaluation of the existing sewer collection system with a goal of removing extraneous infiltration and inflow (M) from the wastewater collection and treatment systems. Upon completion of the sewer system evaluations and forthcoming sewer rehabilitation projects, it is expected that the annual average flows will decrease. Consequently, GGCC has no plans for exceeding the current hydraulic treatment capacity of the existing WWTP. P.O. Box 368, Linville, NC 28646 (828) 898-4531 www.GrandfatherClubNC.com. pr- PP October 2, 2012 Mr. Charles Wakild, PE Page 2 The existing sewer service area for GGCC encompasses roughly one-half (1/2) of the GGCC development with wastewater disposal for the remaining residences being provided by private septic systems. There are no remaining areas within the GGCC boundaries where residential development could occur. Additionally, GGCC has no future plans to extend the public sewer collection system to the existing residences that are currently on private septic systems. GGCC does, however, have plans to add its community beach house facility to the GGCC sewer system. This decision has been reached based on the age of the septic system currently servicing the beach house facility and the position that in the long term, sewer service to the swim beach facility would be most effectively provided by the public sewer collection and treatment systems. Based on the number of fixtures within this facility, the estimated additional flow from this facility will be equal to or less than 3,800 gallons per day during the limited time in which the facility is open, which is Memorial Day through Labor Day of each year. Therefore, the addition of the beach house facility will not cause the WWTP to exceed its current hydraulic treatment capacity. A letter of request for a Fast -Track -Application sewer permit is being submitted concurrently to the Asheville Regional Office under the provisions of NCAC 02T .0118 (3) for approval of the extension of the GGCC sewer system to serve this beach house facility. I trust that this letter will adequately address the issue of future wastewater treatment needs for GGCC Utility, Inc.
