During these months starting in May 2017, Wildcat Cliffs started a construction project of removing and replacing the old 35,000 gallon a day extended aeration package plant and a EQ basin and digestor. uring those months the contractor operators for the operation of Wildcat Cliffs Country Club WWTP only h d a 15,000 gallon per day extended aeration package plant to operate with flows from 10,000 to 20,000 gallons per day. Due to the high flows managing the solids with a smaller digestor the Wildcat Cliffs WWTP was no compliant for BOD, Nitrogen, Ammonia Total and TSS. Staring in November 2017 Wildcat Cliffs WWTP as back in compliance and has been through March 2018 because our flow has been below 5000 gallons per day. The new 35,000 gallon per day was installed by the middle of December 2018 and in January 2018 there was a no flow due to the filling of the WWTP. Wildcat Cliffs Country Club has spent over $400,000 in construction of the new WWTP and will continue to invest in the capital improvements of their WWTP. 774 Country Club Drive, Highlands, North Carolina 28741 828-526-2165 A Notice of Violation/Intent b Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1 and not more than twenty-five th fails to act in accordance wit 143-215.1.

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 I i DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 �i (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 witli 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 i least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. j 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). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. I 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 i 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 leash 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 40 AMIMDES Permit Standard Conditions Mali 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 Quality. 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.

[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 Pennittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] 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 c f 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 term also means the local government organization, or municipalit} , 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 may be referred to asl 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.

There were a few leaks around the chlorine contact basin which need to be sealed and secured. According to the operator the sludge return mechanism continues to be problematic. Failure of this equipment has caused violations in the past. As noted in previous inspection reports this plant is starting to show its age. As the facility is at or near the age of its life expectancy, an evaluation should be conducted to determine if rehabilitation or replacement of the facility would be the better course of action. No violations of permit re juirements or applicable regulations were observed during this inspection. i Page # 2 Permit: NCO075612 Owner - Facility: Wildcat Cliffs Country Club VUWTP Inspection Date: 07/12/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? ■ 0 Q O Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable Solids, pH, DO, Sludge ■ n p n Judge, and other that are applicable?

The 35,000 gpd plant (#1) is the oldest plant. The 15,000 gpd plant (p ant # 2) was installed parallel to # plant 1, in 2001. The treatment units consist of: an influent bar screen; flow equalization basins; splitter box with slide gate; aeration basins; clarifiers with sludge returns; anthracite and sand tertiary filter cells with alarms; aerobic digostors; tablet chlorinator; chlorine contact chambers; tablet de -chlorination unit; Sig a 900 refrigerated composite sampler; and emergency standby generator. PERMIT / INSPECTION/ OG: A review of the files indiLtes that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on 6-30-09 by Wanda Frazier. The permit expires on 1-30-2012. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration. A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder. The daily operator log ias present on -site and had good notation of daily events, process control and field testing data. TREATMENT UNITS / PF The activated sludge ai Temperature = 6.4 d pH = 6.8 units CONTROL TESTING DATA: basin process control data was as follows: rees Celsius Dissolved Oxygen = �.7 mg/I Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Settleable Solids = 3001ml/I = 30% Tip: Using the settleablity 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 set rate (i.e. 30%), allows cannot handle that retl sludge is too young. eable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping )r the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant -n sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the Page # 2 I Permit: NCO075612 Inspection Date: 03/05/2010 Owner - Facility: Wildcat Cliffs Country Club WWTP Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation TERTIARY FILTER: - The anthracite and sand tertiary filter cells are currently out of service so that they may be refurbished with new media. EFFLUENT: The effluent data was as follows: PH = 6.85 units Temperature = 1.3 degrees Celsius Chlorine = 37 ug/I OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY: Mr. John Impagliatelli, Director of Maintenance, assisted in the inspection and discusssion of the deemed permitted collection system requirements meeting. Mr. Mark Teague, ORC, assisted in the inspection and appears to be operating and maintaining the facility very well. The ORC is in ther process of installing a new blower. The 35,000 GPD plant is shut down due to low seasonal flows. The effluent appeared to be in compliance with permit limits.

WTTNESSETH: The DEVELOPER is the owner of the certain lands lying in Macon County, upon which it is erecting and will erect dwelling units and other improvements, said development to be known as The Birches at Wildcat Cliffs (hereinafter the Development). 2. The DEVELOPER desires, to construct a wastewater collection system with pumps, wastewater treatment works, and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System) to provide sanitary sewage disposal to serve the Development on said lands. The DEVELOPER has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit pursuant to G.S. 143- 215.1 to construct, maintain, and operate the Disposal System. 4. The DEVELOPER has created or shall create unit ownership in said dwellings units, other improvements and lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter 47C or 47F of the North Carolina General Statutes. 5. The DEVELOPER has caused to be formed or will cause to be formed at the time of filing of the Declaration, the Wildcat Cliffs Country Club Inc. (hereinafter Association), a corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the State of North Carolina, for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of the Development; of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the lands and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the Disposal System; and of collecting dues and assessments to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair. 6. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with law and permit provisions in order to protect the quality of the waters of the State and the public interest therein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the benefits to be derived by each of the parties hereto, the COMMISSION and DEVELOPER do hereby mutually agree as follows: 1. The DEVELOPER shall construct the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and specifications hereafter issued and approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate and maintain such systems and facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law. 2. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer ownership and/or control of the Disposal System to the Association until construction has been completed in accordance with the permit and approved plans, and the staff of the Division of Water Quality has inspected and approved of the facilities. In order to change the name of the permit holder, the DEVELOPER must request that the permit be reissued to the Association. The request must include a copy of the Association Bylaws and Declaration. 3. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer, convey, assign or otherwise relinquish or release its responsibility for the operation and maintenance of its Disposal System until a permit has been reissued to the DEVELOPERSs successor. 4. The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System and appurtenances thereto are part of the common elements and shall thereafter be properly maintained and operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair, and maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire wastewater treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element which will receive the highest priority for expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance. 5. The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily available to repair, maintain or construct the Disposal System, beyond the routine operation and maintenance expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of the common expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance fiends allocated for the facility and shall be part of the yearly budget. 6. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund are not adequate for the construction, repair, and maintenance of the Disposal System, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide for special assessments to cover such necessary costs. There shall be no limit on the amount of such assessments, and the Declaration and Bylaws shall provide that such special assessments can be made as necessary at any time. 7. If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city, town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become available to serve the Development, the DEVELOPER shall take such action as is necessary to cause the existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater. 8. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit. 9. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 above shall be conditions of any permit issued by the COMMISSION to the DEVELOPER for the construction, maintenance, repair and operation of the Disposal System. 10.

Subject: Application No. NC0075612/ATC Additional Information Request Authorization to Construct Wildcat Cliffs Country Club WWTP Macon County The Permits and Engineering Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. The following items must be addressed before we can complete our review: 1) A detailed sludge disposal plan or letter from the receiving authority should be submitted to this office. 2) There are concerns as to the adequacy of the flow eqJization splitter box. The proportioning weirs should be adjustable without having the operator immersed in raw sewage. The influent should be directed into the equalization tank. Overflow from the equalization tank should be diverted to the aeration basin. 3) The filter backwash water should be returned to the equalization tank. 4) Interconnection between the existing and proposed plant for sludge return and aeration manifolds should be provided as a backup as well as to allow for flexibility of operation. 5) The sludge holding calculations found'in item (9) of the submitted design calculations seems to be in error. Please check these calculations and resubmit to this office. 6) Please provide evidence that the standby power is adequate to run both plants. 7) Please indicate how the 5 mg/1 BOD effluent limit will be met. With the additional package plant designed to remove BOD down to 20 mg/l, it unclear how the effluent limitation will be achieved. 8) Noise control, the use of stairs instead of ladders and the accessibility of the flow splitter box should be considered and reflected in the revised design.

List of all discharge points: Paxi No Change 1_1 Change New Latitude: 0 Longitude: 0 " PART II - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The plans are not sufficiently detailed but general recommendations are as follows. i 1. Require a detailed sludge disposal plan or letter from the receiving authority. 2. 2H.0219(j)(6) requires flow equalization at least 25% of design. Existing flow equalization is adequate only for existing facility. 3. The flow equalization splitter box as designed will not function adequately for flow equalization. Surge control is not what is required. The proportioning weirs should be ajulstable and without the operator being immersed in raw sewage. The influent should be into the equalization tank. overflow from the equalization tank should be to the aeration basin (power/pump failure). Redesign of the splitter box�is required. 4. Chlorinating upsltream of the filters will help control growth of gook. There should be a hydraulic drop between the chlotine contact tank -and the dechlorination cheL cal. The specs indicate 15 minute chlorine contact time - probably a typo-sho ld be 30.( page 07610-5 ) 5. Filter backwash should return to equalization tank. 6. Interconnection between the existing and proposed plant for sludege return and aeration manifolds should be provided as backups and to allow flexibility of operation. 7. Sludge holding (calculations seem to use cubic feet and gallons interchangeably. Using the stated conicentrations, the sludge tank is about half of what is needed. 8. Noise control, use of stairs instead of ladders, 'accessibility of the flow splitter box,etc sho lu ld be considered. 9. Is the standby generator adequate to run both plants? 10. The bottom of the vee of the flow metering weir should be at least 2H from the bottom of the tank,I3H would be better. The measureing point should be 3H to 4H upstream from the weir. Be sure the ultrasonic transducer is not too close to the water surface at the maximum expected flow. It might be helpful to elbow the inflow pipe up to reduce approach velocities.

Landon below are the repairs Evoqua made in September, the noise was not the only issue. When we figure the noise out, Premier Water will come out and run a performance test and answer any questions our plant operator has. Thanks and I will keep informed. Influent flow regulator box: Issue Can’t adjust the flow. Plan Replace the V notch weir that will provide more adjustment. Cut the overflow section down to lower dimension. Paint Overflow port: Issue There was not a hole originally provided. Plan Clean up the hole that has been cut and paint. Scum Baffle: Issue No baffle provided Plan Provide a SS baffle that can be bolted on to the channel that is located above the weir location. Flow thru port: Issue Water level in aeration zone is high. Plan Cut a new hole approximately 15” lower and weld up the existing hole and repaint the area. Scum cups Issue No adjustment cups are stripped out. Plan Replace the bulkhead fitting for the scum cup and the threaded pipe. Issue Contractor tied the filter backwash line into the discharge line of the scum cup. This needs to be taken loose an re-piped. (Contractor issue) Plan Evoqua will cut another hole and weld a coupling into the header where the pipe can be reinstalled. Sludge air lift Issue Can’t control the sludge return flow with the air lift. Plan Confirmed location and once other item are remedied airlift should work as intended.

While the blower and vibration issues appear to be a nuisance, are any of these issues impacting the treatment ability of the plant? Or has maintenance activities impacted the treatment ability? Has there been periods when the blowers were off or had to be off that led to non-compliance. Thanks again for the call and email. I appreciate the open communication. Landon G. Landon Davidson, P.G.

The blowers have been very noisy since we turned them on and some of the members complained about the noise, I have been talking to Mike Dowd with McGill, Steven Young with Premier Water and Earl Griner with Evoqua. Earl, myself and Mark Teague our plant operator met in August and discussed some things Mark pointed out, Evoqua came and made those changes and Premier Water came out and repaired a blower motor that was leaking oil. But no one could figure out how to stop the noise, we put up an insulated wall inside the building and that has reduced the sound some. Premier water came out a third time last month and they have a plan to install rubber expansion joints to the discharge at the blower motors. The noise is the tank and all the metal vibrating and these rubber expansion joints hopefully will reduce the noise. The parts have been ordered and they will come out and install when they arrive. I can not wait for this to be finished, its frustrating to pay so much money and still have problems, we are trying to do the right thing by doing all this work and it will be much better than the old system when it is complete and running. I will let you know when the work is complete. -- John Impagliatelli Director of WCS/WCCC Facilities 770 Country Club Drive Highlands,NC 28741 828-526-2165 ext 320 -- John Impagliatelli Director of WCS/WCCC Facilities 770 Country Club Drive Highlands,NC 28741 828-526-2165 ext 320 From:John Impagliatelli To:Willmer, Mikal Subject:Re: Wildcat Cliffs WWTP updates Date:Friday, September 1, 2017 11:42:56 AM Attachments:image001.png Unfortunately the tanks did not make it to the club due to trucking difficulties.
