JAN 5 2o2l Permit No. WQ0041817 13y,•_ Mr. Smith, H2GO is requesting an extension of Pump and Haul Permit No. W00041817 to June 30, 2021. Continued pump and haul operations from the Belville WWTP (NC0075540) to a sub -basin of Brunswick County's West Brunswick Regional WWTP (WQ0023693) are necessary to reduce average monthly flows bypassed to Brunswick County's NEWWTP (WQ0086819). Brunswick County's NEWWTP is currently under construction to expand treatment capacity from 2.475 MGD to 4.975 MGD, with completion anticipated for December 2021. To eliminate the need for continued pump and haul operations beyond June 2021, H2GO and Brunswick County are negotiating terms that would seek court consent to expand the Belville WWTP from 0.40 MGD to 0.65 MGD. Should those negotiations prove successful, with consent of the court, H2GO could complete the necessary design, permitting, and process modifications to expand the Belville WWTP to 0.65 MGD before June 30, 2021. Over the past 6 months, H2GO has taken the following actions to reduce wastewater flows to the Belville WWTP and flows directly tributary to Brunswick County's regional transmission system: 1. Elimination of inflow and infiltration in H2GO's collection system. We estimate an I/1 reduction of approximately 80,000 gpd from recently discovered and repaired I/I sources. a. Adair Park MH repair tributary to Arbors LS b. Mallory Creek MH repair tributary to Mallory Creek LS c. Sneeds Farm service lateral repair tributary to Stoney Creek LS 2. Cooperative understanding between Brunswick County and H2GO to suspend FTSE approvals for new sewer extensions directly tributary to County transmission facilities. 3. Installation of "smart meters" in H2GO's water distribution system to quickly identify excessive consumer usage and leaks (e.g., toilets, faucets, etc.) to reduce "clear water" discharge to the sewer collection system. P. O. Box 2230 910-371-9949 (Office) Leland, NC 28451 www.H2GOonline.com 910-371-6441 (Fax) January 13, 2021 Mr. Danny Smith, Director Division of Water Resources RE: H2GO Pump and Haul Renewal Application Permit No. WQ0041817 Pagetwo Pump and Haul operations since the end of June 2020 have been successful in assisting Brunswick County to maintain NEWWTP treatment operations at or below 100%, on an average monthly basis. I am confident negotiations to expand the Belville WWTP will be successful and that expanded capacity will be operational before June 30, 2021 — but we will need to extend pump and haul operations until such time. Please find attached the permit renewal application with supporting documentation. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance.
