Flows from Belmont will be pumped to the Paw Creek Liftstation which pumps to the McAlpine WWTP. See attached graphic. The proposed discharge permit to meet the TMDL utilizes the nitrogen and phosphorus allocation from the old Clariant WWTP and the allocation from the Belmont and Mt Holly WWTP s. Both EIS and the agreements with both towns are set up such that activating Phase 1 of the Long Creek WWTP requires Belmont and Mt Holly to shut down their plants and transfer wastewater to Charlotte. It is presumed that Phase 1 of the plant would be 12 mgd. Phase 2 of the Long Creek WWTP is a proposed expansion to 25 mgd and the timing of that expansion would be triggered by one of two events. The first possibility is that more capacity is required to serve Mt Holly or to serve areas which are upstream of the Long Creek WWTP (i.e. —the Long Creek basin or Mt Holly service area). Under this scenario the Paw Creek Liftstation would not necessarily be redirected to the Long Creek WWTP at this time. The second possible trigger is that the Charlotte system south of Long Creek, which could be either the Paw Creek collection system or the Irwin or McAlpine WWTP's, needs additional capacity. Under this (• scenario the Paw Creek liftstation forcemain would be rerouted up to the Long Creek WWTP as a part of the plant expansion. 4. Charlotte Water has purchased 90%of the nitrogen (286.65 Ibs) and phosphorus (36 Ibs) allocations from the Clariant NPDES permit (Purchase contract attached). Currently that allocation is stored in the Clariant permit but needs to be transferred to the Belmont and Mt Holly permits (proposed Permit Modification language attached). I know there has been some conversations as to whether some modification to the proposed allocation split needs to occur but after looking at it with Belmont and Mt Holly we need to stick with the same allocation split we've been proposing all along. We don't have the detailed agreements fully ironed out yet but I've attached the MCA's that were approved by both boards, although non -binding, and the nutrient purchase agreement with Belmont whereby they will purchase the entire nutrient allocation from us if we don't build the Long Creek agreement for some reason. That agreement is a binding contract. The proposed permit modification language for Belmont and Mt Holly also includes language to address what is to happen with the Long Creek WWTP is constructed. 5. Schedule - Yes, both the Belmont and Mt Holly discharges are required to eliminated as a part of the �, Long Creek W WTP startup if not before. There is the option to construct the liftstation and forcemain from the Belmont or Mt Holly system to the Charlotte system prior to the construction of the long Creek W WTP but the most likely scenario for that would be to construct the Mt Holly liftstation as an interim step to address short term capacity needs. 0 • Long Creek Regional Wastewater Plant Project Summary May, 2016 Overall Project Goal The goal of this project is to accommodate projected growth in western Mecklenburg and eastern Gaston counties while implementing the 1995 Lake Wylie TMDL by consolidating an industrial and 2 existing municipal wastewater treatment plants and eliminating extensive wastewater collection system pumping currently in use. This will be accomplished through the construction of a regional wastewater treatment plant capable of meeting the desired water quality and TMDL nutrient removal goals. Background In 2007 Charlotte Water completed a wastewater master plan for the service area draining to the McAlpine, Sugar, and Irwin Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP). The study included all of these drainage basins and plants since they are currently interconnected with the ability to bypass flow from the Sugar Creek and Irwin Creek plants to the McAlpine Creek plant. The map below is a schematic of the drainage basins and plant • interconnects. Service Area and WWTP Interconnects • • At the conclusion of the master plan it was determined that the best option was to pursue a new treatment plant at the Long Creek Pump station location rather than continuing to pump wastewater such long distances. The option of continued pumping would also require replacing most of the gravity sewer lines between the Paw Creek Wastewater Pump station and the McAlpine or Irwin Creek WWTP with a cost that was similar to that of a new plant. Project Initiation The kickoff for this project had two primary focuses: 1. To work with NC DEQ on the water quality modeling for a new wastewater treatment plant; and 2. To engage a large stakeholder group on the concept of a new wastewater plant in this area. In the process of working with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) on the water quality modeling for a NPDES speculative limit request it was determined that this section of Lake Wylie was under an EPA TMDL for phosphorus and nitrogen developed in 1995 and that the TMDL did not provide nutrient allocations for new discharges (see TMDL excerpt below). New Discharges It is recommended that no new discharges should be allowed to the lake mainstem or its tributaries, unless an evaluation of engineering alternatives shows that it is the most • environmentally sound alternative. For any new discharges that meet this requirement it is recommended that advanced treatment technology be required. It is further recommended that any new facility with a permitted design flow of greater than or equal to 1 MOD should be required to meet monthly average limits of 1.0 mSA total phosphorus (TP) and 6.0 m d total nitrogen (TN), (nitro;en limits to apply for the months April through October only). For new facilities with a permitted design flow of less than 1 MOD but greater than 0.05 MGD (50,000 gallons per day) it is recommended that they mat a total phosphorus limit of 2.0 mgA. All industrial discharges will be handled on a case -by -case basis because attainable advanced removal technology cannot be clearly defined for them as a group. The Division will require the industries in the management area to control TP and IN to best available technology levels applicable to their industrial type. Existing Discharges Existing discharges to the lake mainstem and tributaries should be encouraged to be removed when alternatives become available. Programs such as the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) sewer line extension project should continue to be supported. Upon expansion or major modification. it is recommended that all existing discharges should be rec)uired to apply advanced nutrient removal technology. For all expanding facilities with a permitted design flowgra ter than or equal to 1 MGD, recommended monthly average timits are as follows: I,0 mg/1 TP and 6.0 mg/1 TN, (nitrogen limits to apply for the months of April through October only). For ex ding facilities with a permitted design flow less than I MOD but greater than or equal to 0.05 MGD, the recommended TIP limit is 2.0 mg/l. No expansion should be allowed that increases the total nutrient load from the facility unless an evaluation of engincering alternatives shows that it is the most environmentally sound alternative. Lake Wylie TMDL 1995 — Page 6 • However the general location of the proposed plant contains 3 significant NPDES permits for existing wastewater treatment plants (City of Belmont, City of Mt Holly, and Clariant Corporation) and all are in close • proximity to the proposed Long Creek regional plant and/or to Charlotte Water's existing Paw Creek Wastewater Pump station as shown in the aerial photos below. • As noted above, a comprehensive stakeholder process was completed to ensure adequate review and discussion on the concept of a new regional wastewater treatment plant. The stakeholder group determined that the new plant provided several key environmental improvements to the area: 1. Allowed the discharges of 3 older wastewater treatment plants eliminated and consolidated into one • new plant. • 2. Provided for meeting the TMDL and additional growth in the regional without the need to upgrade/expand 3 existing plants (City of Belmont, City of Mt Holly, and Charlotte Water). (It should be noted that only Clariant had any nutrient limits at that time but NC DEQ was proposing them for Belmont and Mt Holly.) 3. Moves a significant volume of water currently being treated and discharged back to the stream near the South Carolina line back up in the Catawba River basin closer to the withdrawal point. Lake Wylie TMDL Implementation Plan The TMDL for this section of Lake Wylie provided for maximum nutrient loadings for Phosphorus and Nitrogen. The diagrams below are an excerpt from the TMDL plan showing the distribution of nutrient loadings among existing dischargers at that time (Figure 6.1) and the future allocations upon TMDL implementation (Figure 6.2).

As noted in the TMDL, all industrial permits would be handled on a case by case basis and no nutrient allocation was given in the document. Based on the NPDES permit for Clariant, it was determined that their permit had a nitrogen allocation of 318.5 Ibs/day and a phosphorus allocation of 40 Ibs/day. Charlotte Water negotiated an agreement to purchase 90% of the nutrient allocation (287 Ibs/day nitrogen and 36 Ibs/day phosphorus) initially. This would allow Clariant to continue to provide some level of sanitary sewer service to their industrial site and continue with the groundwater remediation that has been ongoing for a number of years at the site. Charlotte Water made a request for Speculative Limits from NC DEQ in 2013 for a new regional W WTP on Lake • Wylie based on the plan to consolidate the 3 three discharges/permits described above and to accommodate the flows from the Charlotte Water Long Creek basin that are currently being pumped to the McAlpine Creek • WWTP. The speculative limits for the regional plant were proposed by NC DEQ to meet the allocations within the TMDL as noted in the Speculative Limit letter excerpt below (NC DEQ Speculative Limit letter attached). • Nuhiente. 11 a nutrient Loading for the three partner dischargers was cowed to determine the total nutrient Wkxxtion for the proposed CMU Regio<ul WWTP. The ensue allocation for Mount Holly and Belmont wf be included in the Regional facrdq While the C2ariant facility has a total nitrogen, (PM allomtion of 3185 lb/day, only 90 % or 287lb/day wM be allocated to the CMU Regional WWTP. The same percentage of total phosphorus (TP) will be allocated,; therefore 361b/day of total phosphorus of 401b/day will be allocated.

Currently that allocation is stored in the Clariant permit but it is being proposed to be transferred to the Belmont and Mt Holly permits temporarily since Clariant has ceased most of its operations producing the wastewater volumes seen in the past years. With the addition of these nutrient allocations to their permits, Belmont will be able to continue meeting the TMDL requirements and Mt Holly will begin meeting them until such time as the Long Creek WWTP is constructed and their plants taken offline. The proposed permit modification language for Belmont and Mt Holly would also include language to address the transfer of the nutrient allocation to the Long Creek Regional WWTP NPDES permit once the plant is completed. Schedule and Phasing of the Long Creek Regional WWTP The original master plan for the project indicated additional wastewater treatment capacity would be needed to meet growth projections before 2016 but with the economic recession that schedule has been delayed. A review of the current growth trends with the improved economy and wastewater flows and loadings at the •existing treatment plants indicates that the construction for the treatment plant will likely need to be initiated in the next few years. • Phase 1 of the Long Creek WWTP the plant will treat flows from the Charlotte system that currently flow through the Long Creek Pump station and wastewater flows from Mt Holly. Wastewater flows from Belmont will be pumped to the Paw Creek Pump station which will pump to the Irwin Creek WWTP. The Paw Creek Pump station currently pumps to the McAlpine Creek WWTP but has the option of pumping some flow to the Irwin Creek WWTP. Capital projects are currently underway for anew forcemain and gravity sewer line to move the primary flow to the Irwin Creek WWTP. It is presumed that Phase 1 of the plant would be 12 mgd. • Phase 1 Condition (Includes rerouting flow horn McAlp ne to Irwin( WWTP 9llu t Phase 2 of the Long Creek WWTP is a proposed expansion to 25 mgd with the timing of that expansion being triggered by one of two scenarios. The first scenario is that more capacity is required to serve Mt Holly or to serve areas which are upstream of the Long Creek WWTP (i.e. —the Long Creek basin) in Mecklenburg County. Under this scenario the Long Creek WWTP would be expanded but no changes would be made to the collection system layout. The second scenario is that the Charlotte system downstream of the Long Creek WWTP, which could be either the Paw Creek collection system and/or the Irwin or McAlpine WWTP, needs additional capacity. Under this scenario the Paw Creek Pump Station force main would be rerouted up to the Long Creek WWTP as a part of the plant expansion project. 0 The graphic below depicts this second scenario. 0 Phase 2 Condition from Paw Crmk Litstation to Long Creek W WTP with e"mkm) WWTP e'flu t i Proiect Status As of May, 2016 the following key items have been completed: 1.

Based upon a review of information available from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Online Map Viewer, there are not any Federally Listed threatened or endangered aquatic species identified within a 5 mile radius of the discharge location If there are any identified threatened/endangered species, it is recommended that the applicant discuss the proposed project with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to determine whether the proposed discharge might impact such species. Speculative Limits. The speculative limits were developed based on Division staff recommendation and consideration of the Lake Wylie TMDL allocation Based on available information, speculative effluent limits for the proposed discharge of 12 and 25 MGD to Lake Wylie are presented in Tables 1 and 2. A complete evaluation of these limits and monitoring requirements for metals and other toxicants will be addressed upon receipt of a formal NPDFS permit application CBOD5/NH3 Limits. The limits for CBOD5 and NH3 are based on best professional judgment for the protection of instream dissolved oxygen through the assignment of tertiary treatment limits. The CBOD limits of 4.2 mg/L in the summer and 8.3 mg/L in the winter are effectively equivalent to BOD5 limits of 5 mg/L (.summer) and 10 mg/L (winter). The year-round NH3 limit of 1 mg/L is assigned based on instream protection against ammonia • toxicity. Dissolved Oxygen. The dissolved oxygen (D.O.) effluent limit of 7 mg/L was based on the minimum D.O. level used as model input to predict acceptable downstream D.O. levels. Nutrients. The nutrient loading for the three partner dischargers was combined to determine the total nutrient allocation for the proposed CMU Regional W WTP. The entire allocation for Mount Holly and Belmont will be included in the Regional facility. While the Clariant facility has a total nitrogen (TN) allocation of 318.5 lb/day, only 90 % or 287lb/day will be allocated to the CMU Regional WWTP. The same percentage of total phosphorus (TP) will be allocated, therefore 36 lb/day of total phosphorus of 40lb/ day will be allocated. The nutrient limitations are consistent with the Lake Wylie nutrient TMDL allocations and the contributed nutrient allocation for the three dischargers is below: Discharger TN Allocation TP Allocation Basis Mount Holly 300 Ib/day 50lb/day TMDL Belmont 350 lb/day 58lb/day TMDL Clariant 2871b/day 361b/day TMD4(Norwo• BAT Total - 937 lWday 144lb/day 200,518 lb summer SZS60 Iblyear 141,487 lb/winter 0 Mr. Barry Shearin June 28, 2013 Page 3 of 5 0 TABLE 1.

Mr. Barry Shearin June 28,2013 Page 4 of 5 Monitoring in Lake Wylie will also be required to ensure that the water quality model • predictions were accurate, and to ensure the discharge does not create adverse conditions in the Lake in the future. CMU will be required to monitor upstream and downstream of the outfall. The following parameters should be included in sampling: dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, pH, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and chlorophyll a. Instream monitoring will be required three times per week during the months of June, July, August and September and once per week during the rest of the year. Engineering Alternatives Analysis (E M Please note that the Division cannot guarantee that an NPDES permit for discharge of up to 25.0 MGD will be issued with these speculative limits. Final decisions can only be made after the Division receives and evaluates a formal permit application for the proposed discharge. In accordance with the North Carolina General Statutes, the practicable wastewater treatment and disposal alternative with the least adverse impact on the environment is required to be implemented. Therefore, as a component of all NPDES permit applications for new or expanding flow, a detailed engineering alternatives analysis (EAA) must be prepared. The EAA must justify requested flows, and provide an analysis of potential wastewater treatment alternatives. Alternatives to a surface water discharge, such as a spray/drip irrigation or wastewater reuse are considered to be environmentally preferable. A copy of the EAA requirements is . attached to this letter. Permit applications for new or expanding flow will be returned if all EAA requirements are not adequately addressed. • State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) EAMS Requirements. A SEPA EA/EIS document must be prepared for all projects that: 1) need a permit; 2) use public money or affect public lands; and 3) might have a potential to significantly impact the environment For new wastewater discharges, significant impact is defined as a proposed discharge of >500,000 gpd or producing an instream waste concentration of > 33% based on summer 7Q10 streamflow conditions. Since CMU's facility is proposing a discharge of >50 ,000 gpd flow, the CMU facility must prepare a SEPA document that evaluates the potential for impacting the quality of the environment The NPDES Unit will not accept an NPDES permit application for the proposed discharge until the Division has approved the SEPA document and sent a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to the State Clearinghouse for review and comment. A SEPA Environmental Assessment (EA) should contain a clear justification for the proposed project. If the SEPA EA demonstrates that the project may result in a significant adverse effect on the quality of the environment, you must then prepare a SEPA EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). Since your proposed discharge is subject to SEPA, the EAA requirements discussed above will need to be folded into the SEPA document The SEPA process will be delayed if a l EAA requirements are not adequately addressed. If you have any questions regarding SEPA EA/EIS requirements, please contact Hannah Headrick with the DWQ Planning Branch at (919) 807-6434. 0 Mr. Barry Shearin June 28, 2013 Page 5 of 5 Should you have any questions about these speculative limits or NPDES permitting requirements, please feel free to contact Jackie Nowell at (919) 807- 6386.

Behnont has been notified by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that substantial improvements will soon be required to the existing Behnont wastewater treatment plant. Belmont has considered a number of alternatives as to how they may best achieve the objectives of the new requirements, including decommissioning their existing wastewater treatment plant and contracting with other wastewater utilities to provide on -going services to their residents. In light of those considerations, Belmont wishes to enter into an agreement with Charlotte to participate in a regional wastewater treatment program. The elements of the proposed regional treatment program would consist of: • Portions of wastewater from Belmont would be treated at Cramerton's existing wastewater plant (per existing agreements) and at Charlotte's existing plant(s) • To create capacity to accommodate Belmont's flows in the Charlotte wastewater system, Charlotte proposes to construct a new, advanced wastewater treatment • plant near Long Creek in Mecklenburg County • The new plant at Long Creek is proposed to treat wastewater that is currently treated at Charlotte's Irwin Creek and/or McAlpine Creek wastewater plants, thereby creating capacity for flows from Belmont in Charlotte's Irwin Creek and/or McAlpine Creek plants • The regional wastewater treatment program will provide additional environmental protection by providing advanced treatment for Belmont's wastewater while satisfying nutrient TMDL allocation goals for Lake Wylie This Memorandum of Agreement authorizes Belmont and Charlotte to continue negotiations leading to implementation of this regional wastewater treatment program and confirms each party's commitment to negotiate in good faith. This memorandum of agreement will be the basis of a formal interlocal agreement (Agreement) to be developed jointly by the parties. Implementation will include the following steps and actions: 1. Charlotte will work with DENR to obtain environmental approvals for the project(s) at Charlotte's expense 2. Belmont agrees to transfer NPDES wasteload allocations specified in the Lake Wylie TMDL to Charlotte through a mutually agreed upon process and to decommission their existing treatment plant upon completion of the necessary • infrastructure required to convey those flows to Charlotte 3. Decommissioning and abandonment of the Belmont treatment plant will be at Belmont's expense 4. Belmont will construct, own, and operate flow equalization and pumping station systems in Behnont at Belmont's expense that will transfer wastewater to Charlotte's Paw Creek basin/lift station Memorandum of Agreement Between City of Mount Holly and City of Charlotte • Through Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities January 14, 2013 The City of Mount Holly ("Mount Holly").and the City of Charlotte (acting through Charlotte;Mecklenburg Utilities) ("Charlotte") each provide wastewater collection and treatment services to their customers and residents, and both cities forecast the need for additional wastewater treatment capacity.. Mount Holly has been notified by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that substantial . improvements will soon be required to the existing Mount Holly wastewater treatment plant. A high-level feasibility study in 2006 compared six alternative ways that Mount Holly and Charlotte could meet their additional capacity needs individually or jointly. The - study concluded that construction of a regional treatment plant provided the most environmental and economic benefit. Subsequent to the 2006 Feasibilitj Study, Mount Holly and Charlotte continued joint and separate consideration 'of a number of alternatives as to how to best achieve the new requirements and provide the needed increase in capacity. Those considerations included; expanding and upgrading Mount Holly's existing wastewater treatment plant, decommissioning Mount Holly's existing wastewater treatment plant to facilitate a regional wastewater treatment approach involving Charlotte and/or Gastonia, and • broadening a regional approach by including the City of Belmont and/or an existing industrial wastewater treatment plant in the planning process. In light of those considerations and the need to continue more detailed planning, Mount Holly and Charlotte seek to enter into an agreement to participate in a regional .wastewater treatment program. The elements of the proposed regional treatment program would consist of: • Wastewater from Mount Holly would be pumped to Charlotte via a new pump station and force main across the Catawba River/Lake Wylie. • Charlotte proposes to construct a new, advanced regional wastewater treatment . :plant. near Long Creek in Mecklenburg County that would treat wastewater from the region. • Charlotte proposes to replace the existing 4 mgd Mount Holly wastewater treatment plant with 4 mgd of upgraded capacity in the new Long Creek plant in exchange for the nutrient discharge allocation into Lake Wylie currently assigned to Mount Holly. • The new plant at Long Creek is anticipated to be connected to other existing wastewater treatment plants in Mecklenburg County whereby additional and/or reserve capacity could be provided. • Charlotte proposes to acquire phosphorus and nitrogen allocations from the City of Belmont and from the existing Claziant/ReVenture industrial wastewater treatment plant which .can be used to facilitate overall achievement of TMDL • goals for Lake Wylie. • The regional wastewater treatment program will provide additional environmental protection by providing advanced treatment for Mount Holly's wastewater, satisfying nutrient TMDL allocation goals for Lake Wylie, reducing the: risk of 5. Mount Holly will pay Charlotte for the actual operating and maintenance costs of • the'proposed pump station, flow equalization facility, and force main. Ownership and operation of these facilities remains open for consideration and will be determined in the Agreement. 6. Charlotte will allocate 4 ingd of wastewater treatment capacity (measured as the average daily flow in each billing period, said billing periods anticipated to be. monthly) from Mount Holly at one or more of the,Charlotte treatment plants at no capital cost to Mount Holly in exchange for the nutrient allocation currently -held by Mount Holly in the existing TMDL (50 lb/day total phosphorous and 300 lb/day total nitrogen). 7. Mount Holly will pay Charlotte for treatment services for up to 4 mgd based on the actual flow received each month at a treatment fee rate based on the average cost per 1,000 gallons treated of operations and maintenance at all of Charlotfe's wastewater treatment plants: This fee is subject to re -calculation by -Charlotte for each fiscal year: - 8. Charlotte will allocate 1 mgd of wastewater planning capacity to Mount Holly to allow Mount Holly to plan and permit growth of their customer base. This planning capacity is in addition to the 4 mgd of wastewater treatment capacity described in Paragraph 6. Mount Holly will be required.to increase its treatment capacity pursuant to Paragraph 9 when Mount Holly's wastewater discharge frequently or consistently exceeds it 4 mgd-wastewater capacity. Specific triggers that would require. such an increase will be defined in the Agreement. 9: Upon•proper notice and subject to issuance of all required permits and :. authorizations, Mount Holly may increase the amount of treatment capacity it is allowed to use in Charlotte's system from 4 mgd up to 6 mgd by doing either of the following: a. Paying Charlotte a negotiated rate per 1,000 gallons for wastewater, treatment in excess of 4 mgd, said negotiated rate to be based on O&M costs plus a reasonable amount to cover Charlotte's. capital costs; or, b. Participating proportionally in. the capital cost of existing, new, or expanded treatment capacity and paying a treatment rate as described in item 7 (above). i. Mount Holly may increase its purchased allocation from 4 mgd up to 6 mgd in single or multiple increments of 500,000 gal/day. ii. If Mount Holly chooses to, increase its purchased,allocation prior to January 1, 2025, the cost of each increment will be based proportionally, on the actual cost to design and construct the initial phase of the Long Creek wastewater treatment plant. iii. After January 1, 2025, the cost of each increment will be based on. the actual cost (or agreed upon estimate if no construction is required at that time) cost to design and construct an expansion of the Long Creek wastewater treatment plant. 10. Future expansion of treatment or planning capacity in Charlotte's system .available to Mount Holly beyond the initial capacities may be .initiated and implemented by either Mount Holly or Charlotte individually, or may be initiated and implemented jointly by both parties. Future expansions are subject to • issuance of all required permits and authorizations. 11. Based on state and federal regulations, Mount Holly and Charlotte agree that regulation of discharges to the sewer system are necessary and will be provided through sewer use ordinances adopted and enforced separately by both parties. Permit Modification Language for Nutrient Allocation Clariant's Current Permit The reduction in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations reflect a 90% nutrient allocation transfer of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus to the City of Charlotte's proposed Regional W WTP. The allocation transfer and subsequent reduction in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations will become effective upon the Division's receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Charlotte Regional W WTP, and (b) written notification from Clariant authorizing such nutrient transfer. Clariant's reduced mass nutrient limitations are based on a 12- month rolling average (refer to Section A.(4)). Clariant's Proposed Permit The reductions in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations reflect a 90% nutrient allocation transfer of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus to the City of Mt. Holly and the City of Belmont in the following amounts: City of Mt. Holly: 223 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous '. City of Belmont: 64 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 0 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous The allocation transfer and subsequent reduction in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations will become effective upon the NC Division of Water Quality's receipt of written notification from Clariant authorizing such nutrient transfer. Clariant's reduced mass nutrient limitations are based on a 12- month rolling average (refer to Section A.(4)). Belmont Proposed Permit The daily limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous set forth in this Permit include the transfer of 64 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 0 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous from the permit held by Clariant Corporation. This transfer reflects the terms of an agreement between Clariant and the City of Charlotte to reduce and transfer a total of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus from the Clariant permit in anticipation of the construction and operation of the Charlotte Regional W WTP, as described in Clariant's permit. Notwithstanding the limits set forth in this Permit, Belmont agrees to maintain its discharge such that the total allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus prescribed by the TMDL for Belmont and Mt Holly, including the allocation previously permitted to Clariant to Lake Wylie, is met. Upon receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Belmont Wastewater Transfer Liftstation, and (b) written notification from Belmont, the entire Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus allocation within this permit shall be transferred to the Charlotte Regional W WTP permit (414 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 58 pounds/day Total Phosphorus). It is understood that as condition of this nutrient transfer Behnont will transfer all wastewater flows currently treated under this permit to Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities for treatment as described in the Record of Decision for the Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Environmental Impact Statement and will cease operation of the facility subject to this permit. In the event the Charlotte Regional W WTP is not constructed or cannot be constructed, the nutrient allocations described above and the allocation placed in the Mt Holly permit (223 lbs/day of Total Nitrogen and 361bs/day of Total Phosphorus) from the Clariant permit will become a permanent allocation to this permit once Belmont has reimbursed Charlotte for the Nutrient Allocation as described in the Memorandum of Agreement and/or Interlocal Agreement and provided proof of such reimbursement to NC Division of Water Quality. Mount Holly Pronosed Permit The daily limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous set forth in this Permit include the transfer of 223 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous from the permit held by Clariant Corporation. This transfer reflects the terms of an agreement between Clariant and the City of Charlotte to reduce and transfer a total of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus from the Clariant permit in anticipation of the construction and operation of the Charlotte l� Regional W WTP, as described in Clariant's permit. Notwithstanding the limits set forth in this Permit, Mt. Holly agrees to maintain its discharge such that the total allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus prescribed by the TMDL for Behnont and Mt Holly, including the allocation previously permitted to Clariant to Lake Wylie, is met. Upon receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Charlotte Regional W WTP, and (b) written notification from Mt Holly, the entire Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus allocation within this permit shall be transferred to the Charlotte Regional W WTP permit (523 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 86 pounds/day Total Phosphorus). It is understood that as condition of this nutrient transfer Mt Holly will transfer all wastewater flows currently treated under this permit to Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities for treatment as described in the Record of Decision for the Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Environmental Impact Statement and will cease operation of the facility subject to this permit. In the event the Charlotte Regional W WTP is not constructed or cannot be constructed, the nutrient allocations described above will become a permanent allocation to the Belmont permit once Belmont has reimbursed Charlotte for the Nutrient Allocation as described in the Memorandum of Agreement and/or Interlocal Agreement and provided proof of such reimbursement to NC Division of Water Quality. • Memorandum of Agreement Between City of Belmont and City of Charlotte through Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities The City of Belmont (Belmont) and the City of Charlotte (acting through Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utilities) (Charlotte) each provide wastewater collection and treatment services to their customers and residents.

This MOA will be the basis of a formal interlocal agreement ("Agreement") to be developed jointly by the parties. Implementation will include the following. steps and actions: 1. Charlotte will work with DENR to obtain environmental approvals for the project(s) at Charlotte's expense. Mount Holly agrees to provide information and support in this effort as needed.. - 1 Mount Holly agrees to transfer NPDES wasteload allocations specified in the Lake Wylie TMDL to Charlotte through a mutually agreed upon process and to decommission their existing treatment plant upon completion -of the necessary infrastructure required to convey those flows to Charlotte. 3. Decommissioning and abandonment of the Mount Holly treatment plant will be at Mount Holly's expense. 4. Mount Holly will pay, at its expense of up to a maximum of $14 million (based on actual costs), for a pumping station, force main, and flow equalization facility to transfer flow to Charlotte at or near the site of Mount Holly's existing wastewater treatment. Mount Holly will provide the land required for this, • facility, the cost or value of which is not included in the $14 million ceiling. a. The pumping station, force main, and flow equalization facility are expected to be owned, operated, and financed by Charlotte as set forth in the Agreement and will be designed according to design and performance criteria agreed upon by both Charlotte and Mount Holly. b. Should the actual cost exceed $14M, Charlotte and Mount Holly agree to review the scope and design .of the facility to attempt to reduce the cost. If the cost.,still exceeds $14M,'Charlotte may elect to pay the overage or to withdraw from the Agreement. c. Mount Holly's payment to Charlotte for the pumping station, force main, and flow equalization costs will be based on an amount equal to the annual debt service of the actual construction amount.(amortized over -a 30.year period) and payments will begin upon completion of the construction of those facilities. This debt service payment will be in addition to other costs described in .this MOA. d. Alternatively, Mount Holly may elect to reimburse Charlotte via lump sum payment for the actual cost instead of relying on Charlotte financing. e. All financing and payment arrangements are subject to approval by bond counsel and the NC Local Government Commission as necessary. f. Mount Holly and Charlotte agree that construction of the pumping station, force main, and flow equalization facility may precede the construction of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. In that case, Mount Holly may continue to operate its existing wastewater treatment plant up to its • permitted and reasonable capacity and to send additional flows to the Charlotte system generally per the other terms of this MOA. and per the terms of the Agreement and subject to all required regulatory approvals. 5. Mount Holly will pay Charlotte for the actual operating and maintenance costs of • the'proposed pump station, flow equalization facility, and force main. Ownership and operation of these facilities remains open for consideration and will be determined in the Agreement. 6. Charlotte will allocate 4 mgd of wastewater treatment capacity (measured as the . average daily flow in each billing period, said billing periods anticipated to be. monthly) from Mount Holly at one or more of the Charlotte treatment plants at no capital cost to Mount Holly in exchange for.the nutrient allocation currently -held by Mount Holly in the existing TMDL (50 lb/day total phosphorous and 300 Ib/day total nitrogen). 7. Mount Holly will pay Charlotte for treatment services for up to 4 mgd based on the actual flow received each month at a treatment fee rate based on the average cost per 1,000 gallons treated of operations and maintenance at all of Charlotte's wastewater treatment plants: This fee is subject -to re -calculation by.Charlotte for each fiscal year: 8. Charlotte will allocate 1 mgd of wastewater planning capacity to Mount Holly to allow Mount Holly to plan and permit growth of their customer -base. This planning capacity is in addition to the 4 mgd of wastewater treatment capacity described in Paragraph 6. Mount Holly will be required to increase its treatment capacity pursuant to Paragraph 9 when Mount Holly's wastewater discharge frequently or consistently exceeds it 4 mgd wastewater capacity. Specific triggers that would require. such an increase will be defined in the Agreement. 9: Upon•proper notice and subject to issuance of all required permits and authorizations, Mount Holly may increase the amount of treatment capacity it is allowed to use in Charlotte's system from 4 mgd up to 6 mgd by doing either of the following: a. Paying Charlotte a negotiated rate per 1,000 gallons for wastewater, treatment in excess of 4 mgd, said negotiated rate to be based on O&M costs plus a reasonable amount to cover Charlotte's.capital costs; or, b. Participating proportionally in_the capital cost of existing, new, or expanded treatment capacity and paying a .treatment rate as described in item 7 (above). i i. Mount Holly may increase its purchased allocation from 4 mgd up to 6 mgd in single or multiple increments of 500,000 gal/day. ii. If Mount Holly chooses to. increase its purchased,allocation prior to January 1, 2025, the cost of each increment will be based proportionally on the actual cost to design and construct the initial phase of the Long Creek wastewater treatment plant. iii. After January 1, 2025, the cost of each increment will be based on. the actual cost (or agreed upon estimate if no construction is r required at that time) cost to design and construct an expansion of the Long Creek wastewater treatment plant. 10. Future expansion of treatment or planning capacity in Charlotte's system .available to Mount Holly beyond the initial capacities may be _initiated and implemented by either Mount Holly or Charlotte individually, or may be initiated and implemented jointly by both parties. Future expansions are subject to issuance of all required permits and authorizations. • 11. Based on state and federal regulations, Mount Holly and Charlotte agree that regulation of discharges to the sewer system are necessary and will be provided through sewer use ordinances adopted and enforced separately by both parties. 12. Based on design criteria, state, and federal regulations, Mount Holly and Charlotte agree to limit industrial. waste discharges to appropriate standards. • 13. Mount Holly will be solely responsible for regulating industrial discharges into Mount Holly's collection system according to terms and conditions to be included in the Agreement. 14. Charlotte will be solely responsible for regulating industrial discharges into Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities' collection system according to terms and conditions to be included in the Agreement. 15. Charlotte will provide periodic. reports to Mount Holly about wastewater system performance and compliance, operating costs; and anticipated future capital costs (if any). 16. Mount Holly will provide periodic and timely reports. to Charlotte about Mount . Holly's collection system expansion, any collection system performance issues that could impact Charlotte's system, significant changes related to industrial discharges, and any other information that is relevant to the quantity or characteristics of the wastewater discharged by Mount Holly. 17. If Charlotte acquires the phosphorus and nitrogen.loading allocations from the City of Belmont and/or Clariant/ReVenture's existing industrial wastewater treatment plant(s) Charlotte agrees to allow Mount Holly to use these allocations to comply with NPDES permit requirements until the proposed Long Creek W WTP is completed; subject to NC DENR approval. 18. In the event Long Creek WWTP is not constructed due to findings of -the Environmental Impact Statement.or other unforeseen circumstances, Mount Holly agrees to purchase:phosphorus and nitrogen allocations from Charlotte. The purchase price will be the same amount Charlotte paid to Clariant/ReVenture and to Belmont to acquire these allocations. Mount Holly and Charlotte agree that it may be necessary to develop a separate agreement to enact this provision, and if so, agree to -cooperate in a timely manner to obtain necessary approvals. 19. Charlotte and Mount Holly will cooperatively work with NC DENR to obtain NPDES permit modifications to ensure nutrient allocations can be used, applied and/or transferred as described in this MOA. 20. Mount Holly and Charlotte agree that other terms and conditions should be included in the Agreement and may agree during continued negotiations that the Agreement should provide terms and conditions. different from those proposed within this MCA. 21. Notwithstanding any provision.herein to the contrary this MOA is not intended to be a contract, and the Elements set.forth in this MOA are subject to continued additions, revisions, and modifications, without prejudice to either Party, as the Parties continue negotiations toward an Interlocal Agreement.

The allocation transfer and subsequent reduction in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations will become effective upon the Division's receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Charlotte Regional W WTP, and (b) written notification from Clariant authorizing such nutrient transfer. Clarant's reduced mass nutrient limitations are based on a 12- month rolling average (refer to Section A.(4)). Clariant's Proposed Permit The reductions in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations reflect a 90% nutrient allocation transfer of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus to the City of Mt. Holly and the City of Belmont in the following amounts: City of Mt. Holly: 223 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous City of Belmont: 64 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 0 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous The allocation transfer and subsequent reduction in Clariant's nutrient mass limitations will become effective upon the NC Division of Water Quality's receipt of written notification from Clariant authorizing such nutrient transfer. Clariant's reduced mass nutrient limitations are based on a 12- month rolling average (refer to Section A.(4)). Belmont Proposed Permit The daily limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous set forth in this Permit include the transfer of 64 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 0 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous from the permit held by Clariant Corporation. This transfer reflects the terms of an agreement between Clariant and the City of Charlotte to reduce and transfer a total of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus from the Clariant permit in anticipation of the construction and operation of the Charlotte Regional W WTP, as described in Clariant's permit. Notwithstanding the limits set forth in this Permit, Behnont agrees to maintain its discharge such that the total allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus prescribed by the TMDL for Behnont and Mt Holly, including the allocation previously permitted to Clariant to Lake Wylie, is met. (� Upon receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Belmont Wastewater Transfer Liftstation, and (b) written notification from Belmont, the entire Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus allocation within this permit shall be transferred to the Charlotte Regional WWTP permit (414 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 58 pounds/day Total Phosphorus). It is understood that as condition of this nutrient transfer Belmont will transfer all wastewater flows currently treated under this permit to Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities for treatment as described in the Record of Decision for the Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Environmental Impact Statement and will cease operation of the facility subject to this permit. In the event the Charlotte Regional W WTP is not constructed or cannot be constructed, the nutrient allocations described above and the allocation placed in the Mt Holly permit (2231bs/day of Total Nitrogen and 36 lbs/day of Total Phosphorus) from the Clariant permit will become a permanent allocation to this permit once Belmont has reimbursed Charlotte for the Nutrient Allocation as described in the Memorandum of Agreement and/or Interlocal Agreement and provided proof of such reimbursement to NC Division of Water Quality. Mount Holly Proposed Permit The daily limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous set forth in this Permit include the transfer of 223 pounds/day of Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day of Total Phosphorous from the permit held by Clariant Corporation. This transfer reflects the terms of an agreement between Clariant and the City of Charlotte to reduce and transfer a total of 287 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 36 pounds/day Total Phosphorus from the Clariant permit in anticipation of the construction and operation of the Charlotte Regional W WTP, as described in Clariant's permit. Notwithstanding the limits set forth in this Permit, Mt. Holly agrees to maintain its discharge such that the total allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus prescribed by the TMDL for Belmont and Mt Holly, including the allocation previously permitted to Clariant to Lake Wylie, is met. Upon receipt of both (a) an Engineer's Certificate of Construction Completion for the Charlotte Regional W WTP, and (b) written notification from Mt Holly, the entire Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus allocation within this permit shall be transferred to the Charlotte Regional W WTP permit (523 pounds/day Total Nitrogen and 86 pounds/day Total Phosphorus). It is understood that as condition of this nutrient transfer Mt Holly will transfer all wastewater flows currently treated under this permit to Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities for treatment as described in the Record of Decision for the Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Environmental Impact Statement and will cease operation of the facility subject to this permit. In the event the Charlotte Regional W WTP is not constructed or cannot be constructed, the nutrient allocations described above will become a permanent allocation to the Belmont permit once Belmont has reimbursed Charlotte for the Nutrient Allocation as described in the Memorandum of Agreement and/or Interlocal Agreement and provided proof of such reimbursement to NC Division of Water Quality- 0 Attachment # 6 • • STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNW OF MCKLENBURG CONTRACT THIS CONTRACT is made and entered into this j_day of 20J3 by and between the City of Belmont,. North Carolina CBelmont'l and the City of Chaviotte, North Carolina ("Charlottel, STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Whereas, Charlotte (acting through the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Department - "CMUD") intends to purchase the Nutrient Allocation (36.lbs of phosphorus (P) and 286.65 Ibs of nitrogen (N)) within the NPAES permit for the Clariant Wastewater Treatment Plant. This amount equates to 90"/u of the total Clariant Nutrient Allocation. /:reT] Whereas, if the Long Creek; RegionalWastewater Treatment Plant is not constructed, Charlotte desires to sell, and Belmont. desires to purchase the 90% Nutrient Allocation at the negotiated price of $5;850,00% as outlined in the terms and conditions in the Agreement, AND Whereas, Charlotte and Belmont have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA),'dated August 22, 2p 11, which outlines the conceptual agreement between Charlotte and Belmont regarding the -scope, schedule, and financial obligations for each party for thetreatment of Belmont wastewater at exstittg or future CMUD plants, NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein set forth, Charlotte and Belmont agree on the. following: 1. Subsequent -to Charlotte's purchase gf Clariant's Nutrient Allocation, in the event that Charlotte is not able to acquire a NPDES permit for the proposed Long Creek Regional Wastewater plant or it in Charlotte's sole discretion, Charlotte determines that, the plant is no lobger viable for economic or any other reason, then Belmont agrees'it shall purchase the Nutrient Allocation that Charlotte has purchased from Clariant. 2. Belmont agrees to pay Charlotte the sum of $5,850.000 for the 90% NutrientAllocation which equates to 36 lbs of Phosphorus and 296.65 Ibs ofNitrogen. In the event that Charlotte is required to take legal action to collect the funds owed, each party will be responsible'for their owti legal fees and charges. Any dispute. Between the parties shall be referred to mediation prior to institution of legal action by either party. 3.
