Griffith Owner Owner Name Owner Type Brunswick Regional Water and Sewer H2go Government - County Owner Affiliation Robert Walker PO Box 2230 Dates/Events Leland NC 2845122: Scheduled Orig Issue App Received Draft Initiated Issuance Public Notice Issue Effective Hannon Brunswick Regional Water & Sewer June 30, 2020 Mr. Dean Hunkele Division of Water Resources Department of Environmental Quality Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Ext Wilmington, NC 28405 RE: H2GO Pump and Haul Operations Dean, As you are aware, Brunswick County's NEWWTP was at 101% for an average daily flow through June 23`d. The NEWWTP permitted hydraulic capacity is 2.475 MGD. To bring their daily average to 100% by month's end, the County needed to operate the NEWWTP between 90% and 95% for the final week of June. At 10:00 a.m. on June 23`d, H2GO was notified by John Nichols that the County would be restricting bypass flows from the Belville WWTP to the County's Clairmont LS. Not only were flows restricted by throttling a valve, but the valve was closed on more than one occasion between 6/23/20 and 6/26/20. H2GO was forced to either, 1) knowingly exceed our permit limitations, both hydraulic and treatment capabilities of the Belville WWTP, which would have caused wash -out of the clarifiers and probable violation of discharge limitations for TSS — and possibly BOD, DO, and ammonia; and/or 2) implement emergency pump -and -haul operations to transfer raw sewage from the Belville WWTP to the County's Rice Creek LS. On Wednesday, June 24, it was my decision to implement emergency pump and haul operations without permit in -hand in lieu of probable wash -out of the Belville WWTP and significant environmental impacts resulting from overflows and discharge of partially treated wastewater. Flow through the County's NEWWTP was 2.23 MG on 6/26/20. So, while the County ran their plant at 90% on 6/26/20, H2GO pumped and hauled nearly 288,000 gallons to the County's Rice Creek LS. The County's actions to reduce flows from the Belville WWTP to the NEWWTP, including closing the valve at the Clairmont LS, restricting our ability to transfer flows in excess of the Belville permitted capacity is creating serious operational problems and potential environmental consequences.

Pump and haul operations are necessary to avoid exceedance of the Belville W WTP operating permit; to avoid potential system overflows; and to avoid discharge of partially treated wastewater to the Brunswick River. For compliance purposes, please find attached an application for Wastewater Pump and Haul operations. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.
