Permit Renewal Comments and Summary NC Division of Water Quality Permits and Engineering Unit May 23, 1997 Facility: White Oak Estates Subdivision Permit Number: NCO031577 County: Onlsow Flow: 0.22 MGD Receiving Stream: Northeast Creek Stream Class: S7Q10: W7Q10: Plant Class: C - --- Sc Tidal - 1.4 cfs na III GENERAL COMMENTS: This permit application was received in October. The permit had a phased flow of 0.12 MGD and 0.22 MGD, however no ATC had been issued. White Oak Estates was asked for a flow justification. One was provided with an ATC request coming shortly thereafter. In the meantime, there was considerable talk that the City of Jacksonville would annex the White Oak treatment system. A vote in late April did no approve the annexation. As a result, this permit is being renewed. The draft permit has modified monitoring frequencies to reflex the current 2B .0500 regulations. The ammonia limits for the 0.22 MGD flow have been modified in accordance with the mass balance calculation. All other parameter remain unchanged. As stated above, an ATC is currently in house for this facility and will likely be issued on or before the issue date of the permit. The supplement to permit cover page has therefore been modified to reflect such. The plant has been operated very successfully over the past two years with no noted permit violations.

Alternative Analysis Evaluation: Has the facility evaluated all of the non -discharge options available. Please provide regional perspective for each option evaluated. Spray Irrigation: Land not available Connection to Regional Sewer System: None available Subsurface: Sufficient suitable lands unavailable Other disposal options: None of the above are possible options at this time, however this area may be annexed by the City of Jacksonville. When it is, they must be required to eliminate the discharge by tying into the Jacksonville land treatment system. 5. Other Special Items: Require standby power supply on site. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The facility appears to be well operated and maintained. The self -monitoring reports indicate that the facility is in compliance with permit limits. The facility has phased limits in the current permit, however, they have failed to do any upgrade during this permit cycle. They have submitted a request for an Authorization to Construct for the expanded portion of their plant up to the 0.220 MGD. That request is currently under review, but no construction was begun during this last cycle causing them to be considered as new or expanding. Due to the fact that they discharge into nutrient sensitive waters, they should receive the more stringent limits as required for new or expanding facilities. It is recommended that a permit be drafted and placed at public notice containing effluent limits prepared by the Technical Support Branch. If no significant adverse public comment is received, it is recommended that NPDES Permit No. NC0031577 be reissued in accordance with the basinwide permitting strategy.

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 �o RE: White Oak Estates WWTP NPDES Permit Renewal _ Permit No. NCO031577 Onslow County, NC Dear Mr. Goodr;-ch: This letter will address several issues discussed during our conversation on October 28, 1996, as well as addressing the request for information by Mark McIntire to Tom Mercer of Mercer Environmental Corporation on October 7, 1996. It may get somewhat lengthy, but you mentioned during our telephone conversation that any information we provide will assist you during your review. First a little history. The White Oak Treatment Plant and White Oak Subdivision were developed and constructed by companies under the control of the Aragona family in the 1970s and early 1980s. This plant has been operated by Mercer Environmental Corporation since that time. The Aragona family acquired an adjacent parcel, currently named Aragona Village Subdivision, and received an NPDES permit (NC0031500) and an authorization to construct (AC0031500) under former company names. The White Oak plant at that time had a 0.120 MGD discharge and the Aragona Village plant a 0.100 MGD discharge. An agreement was reached and the Aragona Village discharge was eliminated and combined into the white Oak Estates discharge for the permitted amount of 0.220 MGD, all being operated under Mercer Environmental Corporation. This action eliminated an additional discharge and combined the treatment plants for both projects into a single location with the intention of phasing expansions as would be needed for the progressing development. With some interruptions caused by economic conditions the White Oak Estates and Aragona Village areas have been continually under development and the Aragona Village Subdivision is currently under active development. ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ■ STORM WATER MANAGEMENT ■ WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING ■ FEASIBILITY REPORTS ■ ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ■ CONSTRUCTION PLANS _6 Mr. David Goodrich, P.E. November 5, 1996 Page Two Now to address Mark McIntire's letter. The system currently has 432 connections including the area under construction in the most recent phase of Aragona Village and White Oak High School. Mr. Mercer provided his accounting of the users via fax to Mark McIntire on October 15, 1996. Mr. Mercer's accounting would indicate that the current built capacity has been reached, on paper. Note that the Aragona Village Duplexes Section III project does not currently have homes connected and generating sewage flow. Note also that Mr. Mercer uses 250 GPD per unit rather than the current requirement of 120 GPD per bedroom. You may recall that 250 GPD per household was a commonly used figure in this area for a number of years. As I discussed during our phone conversation, many of the larger developments, including those with treatment plants, are multi -year developments, some taking 15 to 20 years to fully develop. These projects did not "bank" flow except for their own future use. At present, there are some 350 residential lots and a sizeable shopping center area that is yet to be developed in the Aragona Village project. At the current rate of development, and anticipating continued steady development in the Jacksonville/Onslow County area, we predict an additional 7 to 10 year life for this subdivision. If the White Oak treatment plant is the single source of sewer service, at best it will be difficult to have capacity available for all of the proposed development. In fact, we have anticipated the need for extensive statistical evaluations for flow justifications at future dates. Mr. McIntire somewhat states the case for the statistical evaluation in noting that the facility average is 0.088 MGD. It should be noted that this flow will be increasing as the new homes are brought on line. In regard to Mr. McIntire's request for a sludge management plan, it is my understanding that Mr. Mercer provided him with Permit No. WQ005859 currently in effect for this plant. Now for the current situation. Mr. Aragona is developing under the name of White Oak Construction Corp. and is responsible for all capital outlays for plant expansions and sewer extensions. Mercer Environmental Corporation continues to operate the utility side of the sewers but is not necessarily always informed in the areas of rate of development and future growth contemplated by White Oak Construction Corp. Mr. Mercer is obviously aware of the permit renewal requirement and the potential to lose any unbuilt discharge. He is aware that an authorization to construct has been requested for the final 0.100 MGD and that White Oak Mr. David Goodrich, P.E. November 5, 1996 Page Three Construction Corp. was pursuing this construction so as not to lose the capacity, even though it is not all needed at the present time. As an additional point of information, Mr. Aragona has an agreement to purchase the utility from Mercer Environmental Corp. The study of this area for possible annexation by the City of Jacksonville complicates the developer's intent to proceed with this construction in that if the annexation occurs the expansion to the treatment plant is unnecessary and discharges will be eliminated. If the plant is expanded and the area is annexed, the City will be faced with reimbursing for unused plant expansion that will be of no benefit to the City. Conversely, if the developer does not expand and the City does not annex, the developer will have lost the ability to continue with the project and will most assuredly be bankrupted. The developer therefore can, in no way, gamble on losing the discharge capacity and has prepared to proceed with construction to prevent the loss. You stated in our conversation that DWQ would issue the permit renewal on April 25, 1997 which equates to issuance of a draft permit in early March 1997. It is assumed that the intent of the DWQ will be to reduce the discharge to the built capacity unless substantial construction is underway for the expansion. While this renewal date appears to grant somewhat of a reprieve in the need to immediately start construction, we doubt that it will allow time for Jacksonville to observe the statutory time requirements in the annexation decision. Note that no decision has been made. At their October 16, 1996 meeting the City Council voted to proceed with the preparation of the annexation report, the next step in the process. Attached is a copy of the agenda item for that meeting as well as the suggested time table of events and the statutory time requirements. The vote on October 16, 1996 indicated a willingness by the City Council to proceed toward annexation but they could stop at any point. The February 4, 1997 suggested date to adopt the resolution of intent would be the first solid action by Council indicating that annexation will occur, but could again be delayed by any number of reasons. The suggested adoption date of June 30, 1997, or as amended, would reveal the final decision. In comparing your schedule for issuance of the NPDES permit and the City schedule toward annexation, the developer finds little time differential to make his decision on whether to proceed with plant construction. This is complicated even further in that City Council directed City staff to prepare annexation Mr. David Goodrich, P.E. November 5, 1996 Page Four reports considering three annexation option areas, one of which does not include the subject projects. It is possible then that annexation may occur but not include the area served by this plant. Further, the annexation matter could become political and could be opposed by a number of the 4,000 people involved, making it extremely difficult to predict the City Council's action until the vote is counted on the expected date of June 30, 1997. It would make this entire situation much easier to address if the draft permit were not issued until after June 30, 1997 and we request that you consider this or a similar time table. Please keep in mind that the current situation evolves around the City's annexation plans and the developer's desire to assist the City by not having to build an unneeded and eventually unused plant. City money would be much better spent by paying the developer for installing the pumping station that would decommission the plant and connect to the City trunk main. However, again, the developer cannot gamble the slightest amount on losing sewer capacity and is resolved to proceed with plant construction at the slightest indication that annexation may not occur or the slightest indication that his sewer capacity will be lost. Please carefully consider the above and enclosed information while making any decision regarding this matter. Also please confirm or correct anything that I have stated from our previous conversation. I will be pleased to meet with you at a mutually convenient time if you feel it necessary. Otherwise, please feel free to contact me by telephone at any time you need information. I look forward to speaking with you again in the near future.

Bittner, City Manager Subject: Annexation Study Pumpkin Center/Upper Piney Green Road Area: Annexation Alternatives As part of the regular meeting on September 24th, City Council conducted a workshop to address three annexation alternatives that were developed in a comprehensive feasibility study prepared by city staff. Council concluded that the issue be placed on the agenda for the regular meeting of October 16th in order to further discuss whether the identified study area should be annexed. If Council determines that the City should proceed with the annexation action, a formal, detailed Annexation Report pertaining to the identified area will have to be prepared by the city staff. Council authorization will be needed in order to commit the staff time necessary for the preparation of this very important documeni. The staff will need 60 to 90 days to prepare the Annexation Report. A timetable of events relating to the annexation is attached for your review. Based on the results of the study, City staff recommends Alternative No. 1 as the most feasible annexation alternative based on its short and long term fiscal impacts on the City, the makeup and distribution of the affected population, and the developed character and boundaries of the geographic area.
