Brunswick County Public Utilities Pump Failure
Contingency Plan- WQCS00284
The intent of this plan is to provide guidance for the repair or replacement of sewage pump
station pumps due to failure.
Simplex Residential Grinder Station Pumps:
Brunswick County maintains an inventory of replacement grinder pumps and operates a full-time
grinder repair shop were repairs can be made and pumps returned to stock.
County Owned Duplex Station's:
Brunswick County Pump Stations are designed to operate on one pump in the event of a pump
failure. The following procedures shall be used in the case of a pump failure:
A) Determine if a spare pump is available and replace if so
B) If no spare is available, send pump to repair shop for an emergency repair. If spare was
available, send it to repair shop for normal repair
C) In the event of complete failure (both pumps) Brunswick County has at all stations an
emergency force main tap and a diesel driven pump with an automatic controller to
operate the station until repairs to the pumps can be made. Brunswick County also has
multiple vendors on call for emergency repairs and equipment rental in the event of
multiple pump station failures. The use of the mobile Pumper Truck and the Vac-con
Truck are also utilized to sustain operations while repairs are being made

CAPITAL CHARGE REPAYMENT SCHEDULE
In accordance with Section 7 of this Sewer Service Agreement,the Town of Oak Island is
obligated to begin paying a Capital Charge to Brunswick County in the first month of
completion of the Capital Improvements described in Exhibit B.
At this time, the sources and amounts of debt financing for the project have not been
finalised. The Town of Oak Island and Brunswick County agree to revise this Exhibit
based upon the final sources of money and amount of funds from those sources.
The Town of Oak Island's share of the de
bt associated with the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System shall be its proportional share of all of the coat of West
Brunswick Regional Wastewater System including the facilities constructed to serve
portions of Brunswick County,the Town of Holden Beach and the Town of Oak Lsland
The cost of the facilities shall include all engineering, land acquisition and construction
associated with the facilities.
As the Town of Oak Island will assume a portion of the debt associated with the
construction of the existing 3 mgd West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System(Phase
1),the Town agrees to pay its proportionate share of the existing debt from the time of the
initial debt financing. As the principal and interest payments on the debt associated with
the construction of the 3 mgd plant(Phase I)will start prior to completion of the 3 mgd
expansion(Phase II),the Town of Oak Island agrees to reimburse the County and Town
of Holden Beach, its proportionate share of any payment made on the debt associated
with the 3 mgd West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System (Phase I), The
reimbursement of the Town of Oak Island's share of these debt payments shall
commence three years after completion of the 3 mgd plant expansion (Phase II) and be
completed with three subsequent annual payments.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
WEST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Brunswick County will construct a 3 mgd expansion of the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System such that the plant will have a total treatment capacity of 6 mgd.
Construction will also include a transmission main from the ETI limits of the Oak Island
to the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Plant, effluent reuse lines to designated
effluent reuse locations and effluent disposal systems at the effluent reuse sites.
The West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Plant has been designed as a tertiary
treatment facility and the plant and subsequent expansion will meet or exceed the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(NC DENR)regulations for
effluent reuse. The plant and subsequent expansion will be designed to meet the
following criteria:
• A monthly average for Total Suspended Solids(TSS) of lass than or equal to 5
mg/l and a daily maximum TSS of less than or equal to 10 mg/I.
• A monthly average for Biological Oxygen Demand(BOD)of less than or equal to
5 mg/1 and a daily maximum BOD of leas than or equal to 10 mg/1.
• A monthly average for Ammonia of leas than or equal to 4 mg/1 and a daily
maximum Ammonia of less than or equal to 6 mg/l.
• A monthly geometric mean of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 14/100 ml
and a daily maximum of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 25/100 ml.
• Continuous on-line monitoring of turbidity is required and the reuse effluent
cannot exceed 10 NTU.
In addition to meeting these requirements, the facility will include a storage pond for
wastewater effluent that does not meet the reuse criteria and a storage pond for times
when inclement weather prevents spraying of effluent on the disposal sites. Effluent
disposal sites have been identified for the facility where treated wastewater effluent can
be sprayed.-Wastewater sludge generated at the facility will be treated to meet-EPA 503
regulation' for a Class A Sludge. Ultimate disposal of the sludge will be by land
application.
The West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System will serve the following entities.
• Brunswick County
• Town of Holden Beach
• Town of Oak Island

PROPOSAL CONCEPT AGREEMENT
Brunswick County submitted a proposal to the Town of Oak Island in June, 2005. The
proposal was based upon a number of concepts that affect the overall cost of the project.
Brunswick County and The Town of Oak Island mutually agree to the following concepts
outlined in the proposal.
1. Existing Oak Island Tracts To Be Used For Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal.
Oak Island owns two tracts of land located near NC 211 that will be used for
effluent reuse as a part of the expanded West Brunswick Regional Wastewater
System. Under the terms of this agreement,the 770 acre tract would be deeded to
Brunswick County for use as an effluent disposal site.
The existing'debt on the 770 acre tract will be included as a part of the costs
associated with the Weat Brunswick Regional Wastewater System and will be
assumed by the Participants in the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System
based upon capacity allocation in the system.
The Town of Oak Island agrees to enter into a 30 year lease with options for
renewal of the lease for the 105 acre tract with Brunswick County. Under the
terms of the lease, the Town of Oak Island may notify Brunswick County that it
desires to terminate the lease;however,the Town of Oak Island cannot obtain sell
or otherwise use the property until such time that an alternate effluent disposal
site with the same effluent reuse capacity or better is obtained and an effluent
reuse system constructed on that site. The Town of Oak Island would further
agree to pay 100%of the cost of purchasing the alternate effluent disposal site and
the cost of constructing a new effluent disposal system on that site.
2. Reimbursement of Prior Engineering Work on the Force Main Routing and
Town Owned Effluent Reuse Sites
The Participants in the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System agree to
reimburse the Town of Oak Island up to 5400,000 for engineering services
performed on components of the Phase II Improvements of the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System including the 105 acre and 770 acre effluent reuse
sites owned by the Town and on the proposed force main routing that is required
by the regulatory agencies to receive SRF Funding and/or construction permits.
The reimbursement will be included as a part of the overall project cost and the
reimbursement will not occur until the sale of the revenue bonds associated with
this project.
t
3. Interim Capacity in the Existing Regional Force Main In NC 211
To expedite the treatment of a portion of the wastewater from the Town of Oak
Island,Brunswick County will allow the Town of Oak Island to connect to a new
force main to be constructed from the Town of Oak Island ETJ boundary which
will connect to the existing sewer force main in NC 211 and transport up to an
average of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater per day to the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.The flow rate discharged to the force main
in NC 211 shall not exceed 1,260 gallons per minute without approval of
Brunswick County.
4. Operation of the Oak Island East Water Reclamation Facility
Under the terms of this agreement, the Town of Oak Island will continue
operation of the. Oak Island East Water Reclamation Facility and satellite reuse
facility.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING
OF NORTHEAST WASTEWATER SYSTEM EXPANSION
BETWEEN BRUNSWICK COUNTY AND THE TOWN OF BELVILLE AND
H2GO BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WATER &SEWER
Pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes, Article 20, Part 1 of Chapter
160A; Article 16, Part 1 of Chapter 160A; and Article 15 of Chapter 153A, and in
consideration of the promises made to one another in this Agreement, Brunswick
County ("County"), the Town of Belville ("Town," "Belville," or
"Participant"), and H2GO Brunswick Regional Water &Sewer, a sanitary
district ("H2GO" or"Participant") agree as follows:
SECTION 1
RECITALS
1.1 Parties to this Agreement. Brunswick County is a body politic and
corporate and is a county government organized and existing pursuant to the laws
of the State of North Carolina. The Town of Belville is a municipality organized p y g an zed
and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of North Carolina and located in
Brunswick County. H2GO Brunswick Regional Water& Sewer is a sanitary district
organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.
1.2 Background and Participants. Pursuant to the laws of the State of North
Carolina, Brunswick County owns and operates the Northeast Brunswick Regional
Wastewater Reclamation Facility, associated regional pump stations, sewer
transmission force mains and effluent disposal facilities (together comprising the
".Northeast System"), with daily treatment capacity of 2.475 million gallons. The
County has participation agreements related to the construction and use of these
facilities with the Town of Leland, the Town of Navassa, the City of Northwest, and
H2G0 Brunswick Regional Water & Sewer, a sanitary district. Collectively, the
participants will be hereafter referred to as the "Northeast Participants."
1.3 Existing Agreements. Brunswick County and H2GO (then the "North
Brunswick Sanitary District") entered into an agreement on or about July 26, 2001
titled "Northeast Brunswick Regional Wastewater Project Sewer Service
Agreement." Thereafter, on or about May 7, 2012, the County and H2GO entered
into an agreement titled"Amendment No. 1 Northeast Brunswick Regional
Wastewater Project Sewer Service Agreement." Unless expressly modified by this
Interlocal Agreement for Funding of Northeast Wastewater System Expansion, the
Page 1 of 11
underlying debts, obligations, responsibilities, and validity of the existing
agreements remain in full force and effect.
1.4 Relationship between Belville and H2GO. On or about November 28,
2017, between the time of the November election results and the swearing in of
newly elected members, the governing board of H2GO transferred all assets of its
water and sewer systems to Belville. Thereafter, on or about December 1, 2017, the
newly elected leadership of H2GO, along with the Town of Leland, filed suit against
Belville to challenge the validity of the transfer Of assets.
1.5 Reason for both Belville and H2GO to enter this agreement. Because
the need to proceed with expansion to the Northeast system cannot wait for the
final resolution of litigation that may take a substantial amount of time to resolve,
the County is asking both Belville and H2GO to sign this agreement, with the
understanding that the party that ultimately retains the assets and customer
revenue of the utility agrees to be bound by this Agreement. Hereafter, references to
obligations of the Participant in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the
party in control of the assets and revenue of the water and sewer systems as defined
in the November 28, 2017 agreement between H2GO and Belville.
1.6 Agreement not dependent upon non-party participants.
Notwithstanding references to the Northeast Participants in this Agreement, this
Agreement is valid and binding between the parties regardless of the existence of
any agreement between the County and the other Northeast Participants.
SECTION 2
PURPOSES AND INTENT OF AGREEMENT
2.1 Regional Approach. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish an inter-
governmental approach to fund the expansion of wastewater treatment services for
the benefit of the participants in the Northeast System. The availability of these
services is vital to the public health, welfare, and economic growth of these units of
local government.
2.2 Legal Entity. No separate legal entity is established by this Agreement.
2.3 Long-term need. The Northeast Participants have current and long-term
needs for additional wastewater treatment capacity for their citizens and
customers.
2.4 Benefits of Interlocal Participation. Participation in the Northeast
System provides the benefits of regional cooperation, which include the ability to
Page 2 of 11
use available excess capacity in the system subject to permit limits, as well as lower
operating costs and maintenance. The County remains responsible for State permit
compliance, as well as for the legal, financial, and administrative details of
operating the System. The County, H2GO, and Belville have determined that
participating in a regional wastewater treatment and transmission system creates
economies of scale and a long term secure source of high quality wastewater
treatment with savings and other tangible and intangible benefits for system users.
2.5 Scope of Project. The County, with funding assistance from the Northeast
Participants, will construct an expansion of the Northeast System for wastewater
treatment, transmission system improvements, and effluent disposal to be able to
provide the Northeast Participants with an additional 2.5 MGD transmission and
treatment capacity allocated as set forth hereafter.
SECTION 3
SYSTEM NEEDS
3.1 Current Capacity. Original construction of the Northeast Plant was
completed in 2005 with an initial treatment capacity of 1.65 million gallons per day
(MOD). In 2012, an expansion of the facility and related transmission system
added an additional 825,000 gallons per day, bringing the total current capacity to
2.475 MGD.
3.2 Regulatory Compliance and the Need for Expansion. Pursuant to the
North Carolina Administrative Code (15 NCAC 02T.0118.2), permit holders for
wastewater treatment plans must obtain permits for expansion prior to exceeding
90% utilization of treatment capacity. Failure to do so could result in notices of
violation and potential placement of a moratorium by North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) on further connections to the system.
3.3 Engineering Analysis of Capacity and Growth. In April 2017,
Brunswick County engaged McKim & Creed to perform an engineering study to
assist in determining logical plant and transmission system expansion alternatives
based on flow history and growth patterns.
3.4 Flow,Growth, and Projection. The engineering report found that in 2016, •
the Northeast Plant rated at 76% capacity for its average annual day, with its peak
month flow exceeding 90%. Design, permitting, and construction of an expansion is
a process that generally takes 3 to 4 years to complete. For 2017, Brunswick
County was again rated as the fastest growing county in the State, and it is one of
the fastest growing counties in the country. Based on engineering analysis of
historical growth rates, the Northeast plant would exceed its rated capacity based
Page 3 of 11
on the average annual day with peaking fac
tor in 2021. However, due to growth
rates in excess of historical values and permit requirements that necessitate
meeting hydraulic and contaminant limits on a monthly basis, permit infractions
could occur sooner.
SECTION 4
COST, FINANCING,AND ALLOCATION
4.1 Estimated Cost. Based on preliminary budget estimates, the cost of design
and construction of expanding the Northeast System to add 2.5 MGD of capacity is
approximately $39.1 million
4.2 Participants responsible for costs. The construction of the 2.5 MGD
Northeast System expansion, including engineering, design, and financing costs,
will be paid for by the Northeast Participants according to the allocation set out
hereafter.
4.3 Elements of costs. The elements of costs that the participants pay as part
of their allocated cost share include the following:

the County. Payment for sewerage treated for a Participant during any month is due in full as provided in the
Rules and Regulations at the office of the County. Payment of Monthly Service Charge shall be due
notwithstanding that a Participant disputes the accuracy or legality thereof or notwithstanding that the County
curtails or interrupts service to the Participant pursuant to these Standard Provisions. There shall be no free
-7-
sewer service rendered by the County. Nothing contained herein shall require a Participant to pay for sewer
treatment the County is incapable of delivering or providing.
Section 1.13.Disputes. Even if a Participant disagrees with Monthly Service Charges received from
the County for any given service period, the Participant shall be obligated to pay, in full, said Monthly Service
Charges, but can do so "under protest". The "protest" shall be resolved according to the provisions of this
Agreement.
If a Participant disputes all or part of any Monthly Service Charge or other payment due to the
County, the Participant shall within 15 days of learning of the nature of the dispute notify the County in writing
that the charges are disputed, the grounds for the dispute, and the amount in dispute. Failure to have made
the full provided in Section 1.12. hereof will result in the County, at its option, denying the
payment as
Participant's claim. Upon receipt of notification of dispute, representatives of the County and the Participant
shall meet within fifteen days to resolve such dispute. The County and the Participant shall promptly and
continuously attempt to resolve the dispute within five business days of meeting. In the event that it is
determined that the Participant shall have overpaid, it shall receive a credit for the overpayment. If the
dispute cannot be thus resolved, each party shall thereafter be entitled to exercise any remedies available at
law or in equity.
Section 1.14. Limitation. Nothing herein shall prevent the County and a Participant from
limiting the obligation of any Political Subdivision to pay Monthly Service Charges and the County's other
rates and charges to or from non-tax revenues of the Political Subdivision so that a Sewer Service
Agreement with such Political Subdivision will not constitute a debt secured by a pledge of the Political
Subdivision's faith and credit which has not been approved in accordance with the provisions of Article V,
Section 4 of the Constitution of North Carolina.
Section 1.15. Bills. As a convenience to the Participants, the County will mail each
Participant a bill not later than the date for mailing provided for in the Rules and Regulations, covering
sewer treatment provided during the previous month. All bills shall be sent to the address of the premises
being served by the County, unless a Participant notifies the County in writing of some other address to
which bills are to be mailed. Failure to receive bills will not be considered justification for non-payment of
amounts due, nor permit an extension of the date when the account will be considered delinquent. The
County may, at any time, correct any bills for service that may be in error.
Section-1 16. Interest. Interest-on delinquent-Monthly Service Charges-shall-accrue during
the period of non-payment at the rate of 10% per annum, subject to periodic adjustment by the County
subsequent to review by the Oversight Committee.
Section 1.17. Credits. The County will by lump sum payment within 90 days of the date a
made that a refund is due, refund anyMonthlyService Charges or other charges or parts
determination is 9 9
thereof that the County or a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment determines were (a)
inaccurate, illegal or otherwise not entitled to be collected or (b) paid in the immediately preceding Fiscal
Year in excess of the amounts required for such Fiscal Year under clause (iii) of the second sentence of
Section 1.11. Rather than making a refund by lump sum payment, the County may at its option make
refunds in successive monthly installments over such 90-day period or may make the refund in the form of
a credit to future amounts due to the County by the Participant over such 90-day period. Interest shall
-8-
accrue on the refund at the same per annum rate specified in Section 1.16.
Section 1.18. System Development Charges; Connection Charges. The County shall, in
accordance with the Rules and Regulations, Sections 4.2 and 4.3, collect from Participants who apply for
new or expanded service a System Development Charge and such Connection Charges as are
appropriate to the service being provided by the County.
Section 1.19. Industrial Wastewater. The County shall require all Industrial and other
Participants who generate wastewater other than domestic strength wastewater to pre-treat its wastewater
so that when it is discharged to the Sewer System it is of domestic strength. If for any reason a
Participant discharges wastewater to the Sewer System, which exceeds domestic strength, the County
agrees to surcharge such Participant so that the Monthly Service Charges charged other Participants are
not impacted by the added cost incurred by the County in treating the non-domestic strength wastewater.
The Participant shall not allow a customer, or itself, to dilute a high-strength wastewater as a
method of treatment of said wastewater in order to comply with the County's Sewer Use Ordinance.
Section 1.20. Limitations on Service; Curtailment. Any duty or obligation of the County to
meet a Participant's sewer treatment needs, over and above any stated capacity the County contracts to
provide in the Sewer Service Agreement with the Participant, is subject to limitations upon the County's
ability to do so caused by (i) the amount of sewerage discharge permitted or available to the County, (ii)
obligations of the County pursuant to Sewer Service Agreements to provide sewer service to other
Participants, (iii) the capacity of the Sewer System and (iv) completion of any Improvements the County
elects to make to enable it to provide sewer service to a Participant.
Section 1.21. Temporary Interruptions. The County may at any time shut down the Sewer
System in case of an accident, or for the purpose of making connections, alterations, repairs, changes or
for any other lawful reasons. The County will endeavor to give as much notice as possible in advance of
any interruption of service. It is the obligation of the Participant and not the County to protect the
Participant's facilities connected with the Sewer System so that damage will not occur if service is
suspended without notice.
Section 1.22. Shut Off for Default; Acceleration and Notices. If payment of Monthly Service
Charges or Capital Charges due from a Participant remain delinquent for a period of more than thirty(30)
days, the County may take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(i) service may, where permitted by applicable laws and regulations of the State, be
suspended by the County;
(Ii) the County, by written notice to the Participant, may declare an amount equal to the then
outstanding Monthly Service Charges, Capital Charges and accrued interest thereon
to be immediately due and payable as liquidated damages under this Sewer Service
Agreement and not as a penalty, whereon the same shall become immediately due
and payable; or
(iii) the County may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or
desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce
performance and observation of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the
-9-
Participant under this Sewer Service Agreement.
The County will give each Participant twenty-four(24)hours notice prior to suspending service on account
of non-payment of rates and charges. The County may also suspend service after thirty(30)days notice
when a Participant violates any terms of a Sewer Service Agreement with the County or any rule or
regulation and fails to remedy or cure such violation within the thirty(30)day notice period.
Section 1.23. Sewer Service to New Participants. The County shall only provide sewer
service to new Participants pursuant to a Sewer Service Agreement.
Section 1.24. Amendments and Termination. It is recognized by the County and each
Participant that the Participant's Sewer Service Agreement will constitute an essential part of the County's
financing plan and that after Bonds have been sold,and notwithstanding a breach thereof by the County or
the Participant,each Sewer Service Agreement cannot be terminated before the end of its original term or
any extended term, amended, modified, or otherwise altered in any manner that will impair or adversely
affect the security afforded thereby for the payment of the principal of,premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds, but that each Sewer Service Agreement can be terminated, modified or amended only with the
consent of the parties thereto and the Trustee given in accordance with the Bond Order. The amendment
of a Participant's Sewer Service Agreement shall not amend the provisions of any other Sewer Service
Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the County or a Participant in the event of the
breach of a Sewer Service Agreement from seeking injunctions, money damages or other relief, which
does not seek to terminate or alter the Sewer Service Agreement.
Section 1.25. Future Financing. The County may, in its sole discretion, Incur debt to pay for
Project Cost overruns or Improvements.
Section 1.26. Construction and other Cooperation. The County and each Participant currently
constructing wastewater collection systems agree to cooperate with each other during design and
construction of the Project and their sewer collection systems, such assistance to include, but not be limited
to,exchange and review of design plans and specifications, providing access to each others work sites and
easements for purposes of connecting to the Project and sharing information about start and completion
dates, change orders and other matters that may adversely affect Costs. Each such Participant agrees to
construct Its respective wastewater collection system and place it in operation with all reasonable dispatch
and thereafter to operate-and maintain it in a prudent_and economical manner. The same shall be true for ail
subsequent additions and Improvements as required to provide sewer services to all Participants, both
current and future.
Section 1.27. Books and Records. The County shall keep proper books and records in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which shall be available for inspection at all
reasonable times by each Participant. The County shall cause an annual audit of its books and records to be
made by an independent certified public accountant at the end of each Fiscal Year. An allocated portion of
the audit expense shall be a part of the O&M cost of the project.
Section 1.28. Successors and Assigns. Each Sewer Service Agreement, including these
Standard Provisions, shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties thereto
and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither a Participant nor the County
may assign their rights,liabilities and obligations hereunder without the consent of the other party except that
the County may assign all Sewer Service Agreements to the Trustee without the consent of any Participant.
Section 1.29. Severability. If any provision of any Sewer Service Agreement, shall be held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect any other
provision thereof.
Section 1.30. Waiver. Any party's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of
a Sewer Service Agreement, or to exercise any right based upon a breach thereof, or the acceptance of any
performance during such breach, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under the Sewer Service
Agreement.
Section 1.31. Counterparts. Sewer Service Agreements may be executed in several
counterparts,any of which shall be regarded for all purposes as one original.
Section 1.32. Controlling Law. Sewer Service Agreements shall be construed and enforced in

continue in effect beyond the initial term for successive 10-year terms unless terminated by the County or
the Participant by either giving to the other written notice of termination at least three years prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any extended term hereof.
3. PROJECT CONSTRUCTION. The County will construct the Project substantially in
accordance with the plans and specifications therefore, as the same may be modified to meet
requirements of appropriate regulatory bodies. The County shall require each person, firm or corporation

consent to the new Capital Charge within 60 days of such recalculation, then the County may terminate
this agreement.
5. FINANCING. The County shall, as soon as may be practicable and with all reasonable
dispatch, obtain funding of the revenue bonds, which are in an amount sufficient to pay the Cost of

provide sewer service to the Participants by December, 2004.
In addition the County agrees to meet the Participant's sewer treatment needs, subject to
limitations upon the County's ability to do so caused by the lack of capacity of the treatment facilities, lack
of discharge capability, and completion of any improvements by the County to enable it to provide the
service provided for herein. In order to provide for the public health and welfare, the County will use its

capable of accepting and treating sewerage from the Participant, as determined by the County's
consulting engineers. The Participant shall not be required to pay a Connection Charge or System
Development Charge at the time the Participant initially connects to the Sewer System; provided, however,
nothing herein shall prevent the County from charging the Participant a Connection Charge or System
Development Charge if the Participant later needs modified or additional connections.

EASTIWEST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER PROJECT
POLICY GUIDELINES
AND
RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR
RENDERING SEWER SERVICE
THE COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK
WHEREAS, the County of Brunswick is a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina
operating subject to the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act;and
WHEREAS, the Cou
nty owns and operates the East/West Regional Wastewater Pg a er (the
f Pro'
"Project")for the purpose of providing a reliable and self-sufficient source of sewer treatment to potential
Participants commensurate with the orderly development and continued prosperity of the central part of
the County;and
WHEREAS, it is the County's goal to establish and charge reasonable and economical rates and
charges for the service provided by the Project which are sufficient for the County to operate and maintain
the Project as a financially self sustaining enterprise and to assure continued, uninterrupted sewer service
to all Participants; and
WHEREAS, the following guidelines for rate making and financing are intended to allocate the
Cost of service to all Participants in an equitable manner:
(a) Monthly Service Charges. The County shall develop for the Sewer System Monthly
Service Charges, which reflect the County's Current Expenses and operating expenses
during each Fiscal Year, the County's growth rate, its capital construction programs, and
its financing requirements. The Participant recognizes, however, that charges in addition
to Monthly Service Charges will be necessary to establish an overall system of rates and
charges, which is equitable to all Participants.
(b)Capital Charge. The County may,with legal capacity to obligate itself to do so, require
Participants to pay for a minimum monthly capital charge without regard to the actual
amount of service used by the Participants.
(c) System Development Charges. Non-charter Participants shall pay their fair share of
the Cost of existing facilities of the Sewer System, which in the opinion of the County
directly or indirectly benefit all of the Participants of the Sewer System. Although it is the
general policy of the County that new Participants are entitled to sewer service at the
same Monthly Service Charges charged its existing Participants, the County recognizes
that existing Participants have and will continue to provide funds to pay part of the Cost of
facilities having a system-wide benefit through the payment of Monthly Service Charges
or other amounts to the County. The County thus shall establish and collect System
Development Charges so that later Participants pay a portion of the Cost of such facilities
d,. previously paid by the existing Participants.
•
-2-
(d) Connection Charges. The County shall establish and collect from each new
Participant Connection Charges sufficient to pay the Cost of all facilities which the County
identifies in its opinion as being exclusively for the direct or indirect benefit of the
Participant and for which the Participant does not directly pay.
NOW, THEREFORE, the following Rules and Regulations, as they may be hereafter amended,
shall, together with the Sewer Service Agreement and the County's Sewer Use Ordinance, govern the
rendering of sewer service by the County of Brunswick from the Project.

Annual Budget shall include:
A. Operating Expense Components.
(i)Current Expenses.

Charge shall equal an amount which bears the same ratio to the Cost of the East/West Regional Sewer
Project as the average gallons per day (gpd) of sewer capacity requested by a Participant bears to the
total average gpd of sewer capacity of the Sewer System, as determined from time to time by the County's
consulting engineer. Adjustments will be made to a System Development Charge if a Participant uses
more sewer capacity than requested. In such cases where a Participant provides sufficient guarantee of
payment, the Participant may with the consent of the County pay any System Development Charge by
periodic payments upon such terms as the County deems appropriate, including interest.
Section 4.3. Connection Charges. The County shall charge each Participant a Connection

Participant, and if the Participant so desires, in the Participant's presence or that of the Participant's
authorized representative, make, without charge, a test of the accuracy of the meter in use, provided the
meter has not been tested by the County within a period of nine (9) months previous of such request, and
that the Participant will agree to abide by the results of such test in the adjustment of disputed charges. A
written report of the results of the test shall be furnished to the Participant. If the test results are
acceptable, based on manufacturer's specifications, and the meter has been tested within the previous
nine (9)month period, the Participant shall pay the cost of the test.

three percent (3%), the County shall bill or refund to the Participant, as the case may be, such percentage
of the amount reflected on bills covering the consumption indicated by the meter for the previous three (3)
months, as the meter was found to be in error at the time of test, unless it can be shown to the satisfaction

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Brunswick County will construct a new wastewater treatment facility to serve the West
Brunswick County Regional 201 Planning Area. The West Brunswick Regional Wastewater
Treatment Facility will be constructed with a capacity of 3.0 mgd. Construction will also
include the regional collection lines (shown in blue on the Attachment to Exhibit B) and
pumping stations (shown in green on the Attachment to Exhibit B).
The tertiary facility will be designed to provide an effluent that will meet or exceed the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (DENR) reuse criteria. DENR's reuse
criteria requires that a wastewater facility meet the following requirements:
• A monthly average for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of less than or equal to
5 mg/I and a daily maximum TSS of less than or equal to 10 mg/l.
• A monthly geometric mean of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 14/100 ml and
a daily maximum of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 25/100 ml.
• A monthly average for Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of less than or equal to 10
mg/I and a daily maximum BOD of less than or equal to 15 mg/l.
• A monthly average for Ammonia of less than or equal to 4 mg/1 and a daily
maximum Ammonia of less than or equal to 5 mg/I.
• Continuous on-line monitoring of turbidity is required and the effluent to be used for
irrigation cannot exceed 10 NTU.
In addition to meeting these effluent requirements, the facility will include a storage pond
for wastewater effluent that does not meet the reuse criteria and a storage pond for times
when inclement weather prevents spraying of the wastewater on the disposal site. An
effluent disposal site has been identified for the facility where the treated wastewater can be
sprayed__Sludge_generated at the-facility will be-treated-to meet,EPA's503 Regulations for
a Class A sludge. The ultimate disposal of the sludge will be by Iand application.
The Regional Wastewater System will serve the following entities.
• Holden Beach
• Unincorporated areas of Brunswick County

WEST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
SEWER SERVICE REGIONAL PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT
THIS SEWER SERVICE REGIONAL PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, dated as
of the 2 day of►Okxrc mhev, 2020 by and between the COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK, a
political subdivision of the State of North Carolina (the "County"), and the CITY OF
SOUTHPORT, a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of
North Carolina (the "City" or "Participant") is made pursuant to North Carolina
General Statutes, Article 20, Part 1 of Chapter 160A; Article 16, Part 1 of Chapter
160A; and Article 15 of Chapter 153A, and in consideration of the promises made to
one another in this Agreement, as follows:
SECTION 1
PURPOSES AND INTENT OF AGREEMENT
1.1 The purpose of this Agreement is to affirm a regional inter-
governmental approach to the provision of wastewater treatment services and to
provide and fund the expansion of wastewater treatment services for the benefit of
the City of Southport and unincorporated areas of Brunswick County. The
availability of these services is vital to the public health, welfare, and economic
growth of these units of local government.
1.2 Brunswick County owns and operates the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater Reclamation Facility, the Shallotte Wastewater Treatment Plant,
associated regional pump stations, sewer transmission force mains and effluent
disposal facilities (together comprising the "West Brunswick Regional Wastewater
System" or "West System"), with daily treatment capacity of 6.5 million gallons. The
County has participation agreements with the Towns of Holden Beach, Oak Island,
and Shallotte for guaranteed capacity in the System, along with the County itself.
The City of Southport, while not being a participant in the system, had leased
capacity of 0.75 MGD in the West System. Increasing levels of use among all
participants diminished the excess capacity available for continued lease without
further plant expansion.
1.3 The City of Southport has a current and long-term need for an additional
wastewater treatment capacity for its citizens. On February 10, 2020, the City of
Southport unanimously passed a motion stating its desire to join the County's West
Brunswick Regional Wastewater System and requesting an allocation of treatment
capacity in the amount of 750,000 gallons per day.
-1-
1.4 Participation in the West System provides the benefits of regional
cooperation, which include the ability to use available excess capacity in the system
subject to permit requirements, as well as lower operating costs and maintenance.
The County remains responsible for State permit compliance, as well as for the legal,
financial, and administrative details of operating the System.
1.5 The County, with funding assistance from the City of Southport, will
construct a 0.75 MGD expansion of the West System for wastewater treatment and
effluent disposal, and the City of Southport will purchase 0.75 MGD of transmission
capacity in the existing system, pursuant to terms outlined herein.
1.6 The County and the City have determined that participating in a
regional wastewater treatment and transmission system creates economies of scale
and a long-term secure source of high-quality wastewater treatment with savings and
other tangible and intangible benefits for system users.
1.7 The County and the City have previously entered into agreements
related to sewer service as follows:
a) 2008 Short Term Use of County's Treatment Capacity in the West
Brunswick Regional Wastewater Treatment System by the City of Southport;
b) 2011 City of Southport Sewer Transmission Facilities Agreement;
c) 2012 Modification Agreement (of the 2011 Agreement);
d) 2015 Amendment No. 1 to the 2008 Short Term Use Agreement;
e) 2017 Sewer Service Agreement; and
f) 2018 Interlocal Agreement for Funding of Wastewater Plant
Expansion Between Brunswick County and the City of Southport.
1.8 The County and City acknowledge and agree that all of the agreements
listed in the preceding section are terminated, null, and void.
1.9 Within 30 days after execution of this Agreement, the City will convey
to the County its rights, title, and interests in the Sandy Lane Pump Station, the
wastewater meter vault on Highway 211 near Dutchman's Acres Subdivision, and
the 16" effluent Force Main downstream of the Sandy Lane Pump Station (Sandy
Lane Pump Station to its connection with the County's force main on Highway 211
near St. James Drive). (The City may tie future force mains or gravity sewers into
the receiving manhole at the Sandy Lane Pump Station.) If the Sandy Lane Pump
Station is encumbered by debt related to its construction when this Agreement is
executed, then the County will work with the City to pay off such debt so that
ownership may be conveyed unencumbered and free of claims to the satisfaction of
the County. In addition, the City acknowledges that it will continue to honor and
-2-
effectuate the property rights assignments and transfers granting unrestricted access
and use of easements, lands, interests, and rights in lands required for the operation,
maintenance, construction, re-construction, and expansion of the Sandy Lane Pump
Station, the wastewater meter vault on Highway 211 near Dutchman's Acres
Subdivision, the 16" effluent Force Main downstream of the Sandy Lane Pump
Station, and the County's force main that runs from Boiling Spring Lakes to the
Rivermist Pump Station through the Wescott Estates and Rivermist
subdivisions. The easements and rights of way on the road leading from the Sandy
Lane Pump Station to North Howe Street are specifically included in this conveyance.
1.10 The City of Southport shall have the sole right to provide wastewater
service to any parcel or property within its municipal limits, as well as any other
property connected and being served by the city as of the date of this agreement. The
complete list of properties located outside the city limits that are connected and being
provided wastewater service by the City are contained in Exhibit B. Execution of this
agreement shall not require the exchange of any customers between the City and the
County. The County shall continue to provide wastewater service to subdivisions it
currently services and to any future phases thereof.
The property owner of any other parcel may pursue, and be provided,
wastewater service from any public provider willing, able, and legally permitted to
do so; however, neither the County nor the City may install wastewater collection
system pipes in the same public street or road rights-of-way alongside or directly
across from where the other party has already installed and is maintaining
wastewater collection system pipes, without the other party's consent.
SECTION 2
PLANT EXPANSION TO ACCOMMODATE CITY
2.1 Brunswick County will construct a 0.75 MGD expansion of the West
Brunswick Regional Wastewater System such that the system will have a total
treatment capacity of 7.25 MGD. Construction will also include effluent reuse lines
to designated effluent reuse locations and effluent disposal systems at the effluent
reuse sites.
2.2 Once the City becomes a Participant in the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System, the County agrees to provide the City sewer service in the
amount of seven hundred fifty thousand gallons per day (gpd).
2.3 Brunswick County will initiate future expansions and calculate
participant costs and allocations in accordance with the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater Project Policy Guidelines and Rules and Regulations for Rendering
Sewer Service, as amended and in effect at the time.

4.12 Monthly Service Charge. The County shall fix and determine on an
annual basis a Monthly Service Charge for sewer treatment furnished to all
Participants. Monthly Service Charges shall be established by the County at such
levels as may be necessary to provide funds, together with other available funds, at
least sufficient in the aggregate at all times to pay (i) Current Expenses, and (ii)
Capital Expenses in each fiscal year for which Debt Service is not incurred and (iii)
the Debt Service on financing obligations of the County for the Sewer System as the
same become due, including all debt service reserves and other funds, coverage,
accounts and reserves as may be required by any order or resolution authorizing the
issuance of bonds, including the Bond Order. A Participant will receive a credit
against its payment obligation under this Section for any amount paid under Section
3. The County shall be entitled to revise its Monthly Service Charges through an
annual budget for a fiscal year to be presented for review by the Oversight Committee
by March 1st of each year to comply with this Section. The Brunswick County Board
of Commissioners shall take action establishing the Monthly Service Charge,
effective July 1, on the first Monday in April. Monthly billings to a Participant shall
be determined by applying the rates determined pursuant to this Section to the total
amount of sewage treated for each Participant as obtained from the County's meter
readings. The County maypresent charges based on budget estimates,3 g g subject to
adjustment based on actual meter readings. The monthly billings and payments of
the Participant are based on a rate that it estimated to provide funding adequate for
actual and necessary operating expenditures and debt service of the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater Project. Since the rate for billing is based on estimated
revenues and expenditures it will be necessary for Participants in the plant to make
a "true up" payment annually in the event actual expenditures are in excess of actual
revenues or in the event actual annual revenues are in excess of expenditures,
surpluses will either be credited back to the Participants or based upon the
recommendation of the Oversight Committee, be placed into the Capital Replacement
Reserve Fund.
4.13 Payment. Each Participant covenants and agrees to pay promptly when
due the County's Monthly Service Charges as determined in accordance with this
Article and billed to the Participant from time to time and the Capital Charge by wire
transfer to the account provided in written directions from the County. Payment for
sewerage treated for a Participant during any month is due in full as provided in the
Rules and Regulations at the office of the County. Payment of Monthly Service
Charge shall be due notwithstanding that a Participant disputes the accuracy or
legality thereof or notwithstanding that the County curtails or interrupts service to
the Participant pursuant to these Standard Provisions. There shall be no free sewer
service rendered by the County. Nothing contained herein shall require a Participant
to pay for sewer treatment the County is incapable of delivering or providing.
-12-
4.14 Disputes. Even if a Participant disagrees with Monthly Service Charges
received from the County for any given service period, the Participant shall be
obligated to pay, in full, said Monthly Service Charges, but can do so "under protest".
The "protest" shall be resolved according to the provisions of this Agreement.
If a Participant disputes all or part of any Monthly Service Charge or other
payment due to the County, the Participant shall within fifteen (15) days of learning
of the nature of the dispute notify the County in writing that the charges are disputed,
the grounds for the dispute, and the amount in dispute. Failure to have made the
full payment as provided in Section 4.13. hereof will result in the County, at its
option, denying the Participant's claim. Upon receipt of notification of dispute,
representatives of the County and the Participant shall meet within fifteen (15) days
to resolve such dispute. The County and the Participant shall promptly and
continuously attempt to resolve the dispute within five (5) business days of meeting.
In the event that it is determined that the Participant shall have overpaid, it shall
receive a credit for the overpayment. If the dispute cannot be thus resolved, each
party shall thereafter be entitled to exercise any remedies available at law or in
equity including non-binding mediation.
4.15 Limitation. Nothing herein shall prevent the County and a Participant
from limiting the obligation of any Political Subdivision to pay Monthly Service
Charges and the County's other rates and charges to or from non-tax revenues of the
Political Subdivision so that a Sewer Service Agreement with such Political
Subdivision will not constitute a debt secured by a pledge of the Political Subdivision's
faith and credit which has not been approved in accordance with the provisions of
Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution of North Carolina.
4.16 Bills. As a convenience to the Participants, the County will mail each
Participant a bill not later than the date for mailing provided for in the Rules and
Regulations covering sewer treatment provided during the previous month. All bills
shall be sent to the address of the premises being served by the County, unless a
Participant notifies the County in writing of some other address to which bills are to
be mailed. Failure to receive bills will not be considered justification for non-payment
of amounts due, nor permit an extension of the date when the account will be
considered delinquent. The County may, at any time, correct any bills for service that
may be in error.
4.17 Interest. Interest on delinquent Monthly Service Charges shall accrue
during the period of non-payment at the rate of 10% per annum, subject to periodic
adjustment by the County subsequent to review by the Oversight Committee.
4.18 Credits. The County will by lump sum payment within ninety (90) days
of the date a determination is made that a refund is due, refund any Monthly Service
Charges or other charges or parts thereof that the County or a court of competent
-13-
jurisdiction by final judgment determines were (a)inaccurate, illegal or otherwise not
entitled to be collected or (b) paid in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year in excess
of the amounts required for such Fiscal Year under clause (iii) of the second sentence
of Section 4.12. Rather than making a refund by lump sum payment, the County may
at its option make refunds in successive monthly installments over such ninety (90)-
day period or may make the refund in the form of a credit to future amounts due to
the County by the Participant over such ninety (90)-day period. Interest shall accrue
on the refund at the same per annum rate specified in Section 4.17.
4.19 System Development Charges: Connection Charges. The County shall,
in accordance with the Rules and Regulations, Sections 4.2 and 4.3, collect from
Participants who apply for new or expanded service a System Development Charge
and such Connection Charges as are appropriate to the service being provided by the
County.
4.20 Industrial Wastewater. The County shall require all Industrial and
other Participants who generate wastewater other than domestic strength
wastewater to pre-treat its wastewater so that when it is discharged to the Sewer
System it is of domestic strength as defined in the latest version of the Sewer Use
Ordinance. If for any reason a Participant discharges wastewater to the Sewer
System, which exceeds domestic strength, the County agrees to surcharge such
Participant so that the Monthly Service Charges charged other Participants are not
impacted by the added cost incurred by the County in treating the non-domestic
strength wastewater.
The Participant shall not allow a customer, or itself, to dilute a high-strength
wastewater as a method of treatment of said wastewater in order to comply with the
County's Sewer Use Ordinance.
4.21 Limitations on Service: Curtailment. Any duty or obligation of the
County to meet a Participant's sewer treatment needs, over and above any stated
capacity the County contracts to provide in the Sewer Service Agreement with the
Participant, is subject to limitations upon the County's ability to do so caused by (i)
the amount of sewage discharge permitted or available to the County, (ii) obligations
of the County pursuant to Sewer Service Agreements to provide sewer service to other
Participants, (iii) the capacity of the Sewer System and (iv) completion of any
Improvements the County elects to make to enable it to provide sewer service to a
Participant.
4.22 Temporary Interruptions. The County may at any time shut down the
Sewer System in case of an accident, or for the purpose of making connections,
alterations, repairs, changes or for any other lawful reasons. The County will
endeavor to give as much notice as possible in advance of any interruption of service.
It is the obligation of Participants and not the County to protect the Participant's
-14-
facilities connected with the Sewer System so that damage will not occur if service is
suspended without notice.
4.23 Shut Off for Default:Acceleration and Notices. If payments of Monthly
Service Charges or Capital Charges due from a Participant remain delinquent for a
period of more than thirty (30) days, the County may take one (1) or any combination
of the following remedial steps:
(i) service may, where permitted by applicable laws and regulations of
the State, be suspended by the County;
(ii) the County, by written notice to the Participant, may declare an
amount equal to the then outstanding Monthly Service Charges,
Capital Charges and accrued interest thereon to be immediately due
and payable as liquidated damages under this Sewer Service
Agreement and not as a penalty, whereon the same shall become
immediately due and payable; or
(iii) the County may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter
to become due, or to enforce performance and observation of any
obligation, agreement or covenant of the Participant under this
Sewer Service Agreement.
The County will give each Participant twenty-four (24) hours' notice prior to
suspending service on account of non-payment of rates and charges. The County may
also suspend service after thirty (30) days' notice when a Participant violates any
terms of a Sewer Service Agreement with the County or any rule or regulation and
fails to remedy or cure such violation within the thirty (30) day notice period.
4.24 Sewer Service to New Participants. After notification of the Oversight
Committee and all other Participants, the County shall only provide sewer service to
new Participants pursuant to a Sewer Service Agreement.
4.25 Future Financing. The County may, in its sole discretion, incur debt to
pay for Project Cost overruns or Improvements.
4.26. Construction and other Cooperation. The County and each Participant
currently constructing wastewater collection systems agree to cooperate with each
other during design and construction of the Project and their sewer collection
systems, such assistance to include, but not be limited to, exchange and review of
design plans and specifications, providing access to each other's work sites and
easements for purposes of connecting to the Project and sharing information about
start and completion dates, change orders and other matters that may adversely
affect Costs. Each such Participant agrees to construct its respective wastewater
collection system and place it in operation with all reasonable dispatch and thereafter
-15-
to operate and maintain it in a prudent and economical manner. The same shall be
true for all subsequent additions and Improvements as required to provide sewer
services to all Participants, both current and future.
4.27 Books and Records. The County and City shall keep proper books and
records related to this project in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which each party shall make available for inspection to the other at
reasonable times upon request. The County shall cause an annual audit of its books
and records to be made by an independent certified public accountant at the end of
each Fiscal Year.An allocated portion of the audit expense shall be a part of the O&M
cost of the project.

EXHIBIT "A"
WEST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER PROJECT
POLICY GUIDELINES
AND
RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR
RENDERING SEWER SERVICE
THE COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK
WHEREAS, the County of Brunswick is a political subdivision of the State of
North Carolina operating subject to the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control
Act; and
WHEREAS, the County owns and operates the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System (the "Project") for the purpose of providing a reliable and self-
sufficient source of sewer treatment to potential Participants commensurate with the
orderly development and continued prosperity of the central, southern, and eastern
parts of the County; and
WHEREAS, it is the County's goal to establish and charge reasonable and
economical rates and charges for the service provided by the Project which are
sufficient for the County to operate and maintain the Project as a financially self-
sustaining enterprise and to assure continued, uninterrupted sewer service to all
Participants; and
WHEREAS, the following guidelines for rate making and financing are intended
to allocate the Cost of service to all Participants in an equitable manner:
a. Monthly Service Charges. The County shall develop for the Sewer
System Monthly Service Charges, which reflect the County's Current
Expenses and operating expenses during each Fiscal Year, the
County's growth rate, its capital construction programs, and its
financing requirements. The Participant recognizes, however, that
charges in addition to Monthly Service Charges will be necessary to
establish an overall system of rates and charges, which is equitable
to all Participants.
-21-
b. Capital Charge. The County may, with legal capacity to obligate itself
to do so, require Participants to pay for a minimum monthly capital
charge without regard to the actual amount of service used by the
Participants.
c. System Development Charges. New Participants and Participants
requiring expanded service shall pay their fair share of the Cost of
existing facilities of the Sewer System, which in the opinion of the
County directly or indirectly benefit all of the Participants of the
Sewer System. Although it is the general policy of the County that
new Participants are entitled to sewer service at the same Monthly
Service Charges charged its existing Participants, the County
recognizes that existing Participants have and will continue to
provide funds to pay part of the Cost of facilities having a system-
wide benefit through the payment of Monthly Service Charges or
other amounts to the County. The County thus shall establish and
collect System Development Charges so that later Participants pay a
portion of the Cost of such facilities previously paid by the existing
Participants.
d. Connection Charges. The County shall establish and collect from each
new Participant Connection Charges sufficient to pay the Cost of all
facilities which the County identifies in its opinion as being
exclusively for the direct or indirect benefit of the Participant and for
which the Participant does not directly pay.
NOW, THEREFORE, the following Rules and Regulations, as they may be
hereafter amended, shall, together with the Sewer Service Agreement and the
County's Sewer Use Ordinance, govern the rendering of sewer service by the County
of Brunswick from the Project.
ARTICLE I
Definitions, Amendments, and Applicability
Section 1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning
set forth in the Standard Provisions to the Sewer Service Agreement unless otherwise
indicated herein.
Section 1.2. Amendments. The County may from time to time amend these
Rules and Regulations; however, the County shall give each Participant notice and
an opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment.
-22-
Section 1.3. Applicability. These Rules and Regulations, as amended, shall be
binding on every Participant.
ARTICLE II
Sewer Service
Section 2.1. Application for Service. Any potential Participant desiring sewer
service must make a written application to the County (upon forms to be supplied by
the County), setting forth in detail the location of the property to be served, including
a map thereof, the estimated gallons per day (gpd) to be used or allocated, and such
other information as the County may require.
Section 2.2. Sewer Service Agreements. Sewer service shall be supplied to a
Participant only pursuant to a Sewer Service Agreement containing the County's
Standard Provisions.
ARTICLE III
Connections and Ancillary Service Facilities
Section 3.1. Connections. Each Participant shall be responsible, at its sole cost
and expense, to make all installations of facilities necessary for connection to the
Sewer System (i.e. pipelines,pump stations and all other necessary Ancillary Service
Facilities). All new pump stations connected to the Regional Force Main System shall
become part of the Regional Wastewater System and shall be deeded and dedicated
to Brunswick County. Operation and maintenance responsibility shall be the
responsibility of Brunswick County as part of the Regional Wastewater System. All
design plans shall be reviewed by the County prior to submittal to the State for
approval. If applicable, all fees and charges due the County for the connection shall
be due and payable prior to initiation of service at the Point(s) of Delivery.
Section 3.2. Participant's Service Facilities. The Participant's Service Facilities
shall be installed and maintained by such Participant at its sole cost and expense but
shall be subject to inspection by the County before service is connected.
Section 3.3. Control of County Equipment. Supply lines, meters, and other
equipment of the County shall be under its exclusive control, and no persons, other
than authorized employees, agents or contractors of the County, subject to
Participant inspection privileges as outlined in Section 1.7 of the Standard Provisions
to the Sewer Service Agreement, shall repair, change, or interfere with them in any
way.
-23-
ARTICLE IV
Monthly Service Charges
Section 4.1. Monthly Service Charges. The County shall annually establish
Monthly Service Charges sufficient to cover all expenses for the ensuing Fiscal Year
as identified in the Annual Budget for the Sewer System. Monthly Service Charges
will be determined in view of sewer use projections for each ensuing Fiscal Year
provided by Participants and on historical use data. Monthly Service Charges thus
established shall be billed to Participants by the County as hereinafter provided on
the basis of actual metered usage. The establishment and billing of Monthly Service
Charges shall also reflect the payment of Capital Charges, when applicable.
The County shall adopt an Annual Budget for the Sewer System for each Fiscal
Year in accordance with the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act.
Expense components of each Annual Budget shall include:
A.Operating Expense Components.
(i) Current expenses.
(ii) An operating and maintenance reserve.
(iii)Appropriations to repair/replacement reserves for purposes of timely
correction of any mechanical/physical deficiencies which arise out of
normal system use or which are not correctable from insurance proceeds
or other monies readily available to the County. The level of such
reserves shall be based upon an annual inspection of the Sewer System
and recommendations by the County's consulting engineer.
(iv)Debt Service, including such debt service reserves and other funds,
accounts, and reserves as may be required by instruments of debt
authorization and such other amounts as may be required to comply with
the covenants contained in instruments of debt authorization.
(v) An allowance for depreciation or an allowance for establishing a Capital
Replacement Reserve Fund (one or the other but not both) may be
included if required as a condition of debt authorization of the County.
The Capital Replacement Reserve Fund would be established and
administered pursuant to Chapter 159, Art. 3, Part 2 of the North
Carolina General Statutes. Funds generated under this section for
establishment of an allowance for depreciation or a Capital Replacement
Reserve Fund cannot be used for the expansion of capacity of the facilities
without unanimous approval of the Participants.
-24-
B. Capital Expense Components.
(i) Reimbursements of Advances for Construction due during the Fiscal
Year, which are not reimbursed from Current Expenses.
(ii) Such other components regarding Sewer System development and
growth as the County shall identify as being necessary or appropriate.
(iii) Capital costs associated with system capacity increases and
improvements required to maintain the current treatment capacity or
comply with new regulations that are not paid for as part of a
Contribution in Aid of Construction, out of the Renewal or Replacement
Fund, or otherwise. For improvements required to maintain the current
treatment capacity or comply with new regulations each existing
Participant shall pay its pro rata share of capital costs based upon the
existing capacity allocation in the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System. The County shall collect a capital charge from each
Participant receiving a new or expanded capacity allocation based on
their prorated share of the total actual cost of the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System capacity expansion including, but not
limited to, design, construction, debt service, and financing costs.
Brunswick County shall begin the design and construction of capacity
expansions based on regulatory guidance, historical and anticipated
future flow rates, and estimated design and construction schedules. In
general, Brunswick County shall select an engineer and begin the
planning and design for system expansion when plant usage is more
than 70% of design capacity for three months of any rolling 12-month
period. The capacity expansion amount shall be based on its logical
integration with existing facilities, as well as future anticipated needs
based on historic growth rates and consultation with each Participant.
A comparison between each Participant's existing capacity allocation
and minimum future allocation shall be made to determine the entities
that require additional capacity and the minimum additional amount
required. Typically, the minimum future allocation shall be based on a
minimum fifteen-year projection of the average of the most recent three
fiscal year's billed flow with a peaking factor of no less than 1.2 applied.
The growth rate shall be the historic annualized growth rate of plant
flows from the year of completion of the last expansion through the fiscal
year that planning and design commence. The growth rate may be
determined from a statistical relationship between plant flow and time
using historic data and a simple linear regression analysis. Participants
may request additional allocation in excess of the minimum. Brunswick
County will endeavor to provide the amount of additional capacity
-25-
requested by a Participant but may prorate requested allocation
amounts to allocate all capacity in the expansion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Monthly Service Charges shall always be
established so as to comply with the section Monthly Services Charge of the Standard
Provisions of the Sewer Service Agreement or such other provisions of any Sewer
Service Agreement controlling the establishment and billing of Monthly Service
Charges and to comply with any documents of debt authorization.
Section 4.2. System Development Charges. When unallocated capacity in the
West Brunswick Regional Sewer Project Facilities is available without a capacity
expansion construction project, Participants may request new or expanded capacity
by allocation of the unallocated capacity. The County shall collect from new
Participants applying for new service and existing Participants applying for
expanded treatment capacity after the effective date of these Rules and Regulations
a System Development Charge based on the Cost of the County's West Brunswick
Regional Sewer Project Facilities for the applicable Project existing at the time
payment of the charge is due. Each System Development Charge shall equal an
amount which bears the same ratio to the Cost of the West Brunswick Regional Sewer
Project as the average gallons per day (gpd) of sewer capacity requested by a
Participant bears to the total average gpd of sewer capacity of the Sewer System, as
determined from time to time by the County's consultant. Adjustments to an existing
SDC or the initiation of a new SDC will be made if a Participant uses more sewer
capacity than allocated. In such cases where a Participant provides sufficient
guarantee of payment, the Participant may with the consent of the County pay any
System Development Charge by periodic payments upon such terms as the County
deems appropriate, including interest.
New Participants that are procuring an allocation by means of a system expansion
may also be assessed a System Development Charge for portions of the existing
facilities that benefit the new Participant but are not required to be upgraded or
expanded to meet the needs of the new Participant. In this case, the amount of the
SDC shall approximate the pro rata share (after expansion) of the value of the
facilities that do not require an upgrade or expansion. The new Participant shall also
be responsible for the capital costs associated with the construction work to expand
the regional facilities.
Section 4.3. Connection Charges. The County shall charge each Participant a
Connection Charge representing the Cost of any Ancillary Service Facilities provided
by the County necessary for connection to the Sewer System (although it is the
general policy of the County for Participants to pay such costs directly and perform
any work necessary for connection pursuant to plans approved by the County).
Ancillary Service Facilities shall include, but are not limited to, (i) the tap to the
County's pipeline and (ii) the meter installation. The County shall own Ancillary
-26-
Service Facilities notwithstanding that the Cost thereof is paid by a Participant. If
any Participant, following the initial service connection, requests a change in service,
or the amount of flow tributary to the connection point changes, requiring different
Ancillary Service Facilities, all Costs associated with the installation of new Ancillary
Service Facilities shall be paid by the Participant.
Section 4.4. Billing and Payment Dates. The County will mail each Participant
a bill not later than the 5th day of each month covering sewer treatment provided
during the previous month. Payment of bills is due on or before the 20th day of each
month in which the bill is rendered.
ARTICLE V
Meters
Section 5.1. Sewer Service Meters. At each Participant connection to the
Regional System, each Participant shall be billed based on a separate meter or, if
necessary and at the option of the County, through a separate battery of meters.
Where a battery of meters is installed, the registrations of such meters shall be
combined for billing purposes.
Section 5.2. Installation. Meters shall be furnished, installed, and removed only
by the County at the sole cost of the Participant, and the County shall approve the
location, type, and size of meter(s) to be installed. Where meters are installed upon
the premises of a Participant, the Participant shall provide the County's
representatives and employees free, reasonable, and safe access to the same by means
of a utility easement.
Section 5.3. Maintenance. Meters will be maintained by the County at its
expense insofar as ordinary wear is concerned, but damage to any meter caused by
the Participant's facilities, operations, negligence, or carelessness or that of the
Participant's own customers shall be paid by the Participant.
Section 5.4. Tests. All meters shall be accurately tested before installation.
Meters will also be periodically tested in accordance with accepted practice, but not
less than annually. The County may at any time remove any meter for routine tests,
repairs, or replacement. The County shall upon request of a Participant, and if the
Participant so desires, in the Participant's presence or that of the Participant's
authorized representative, make, without charge, a test of the accuracy of the meter
in use, provided the meter has not been tested by the County within a period of nine
(9) months previous of such request, and that the Participant will agree to abide by
the results of such test in the adjustment of disputed charges. A written report of the
results of the test shall be furnished to the Participant. If the test results are
acceptable, based on manufacturer's specifications and the meter has been tested
-27-
within the previous nine (9) month period, the Participant shall pay the cost of the
test.
Section 5.5. Error. Whenever a test of a meter reveals it to have an average
error of more than three percent (3%), the County shall bill or refund to the
Participant, as the case may be, such percentage of the amount reflected on bills
covering the consumption indicated by the meter for the previous three (3) months,
as the meter was found to be in error at the time of test, unless it can be shown to the
satisfaction of the County that the error found had existed for a greater or lesser
period, in which case the adjustment shall cover such actual period.
ARTICLE VI
Committees
Section 6.1. Oversight Committee. There is hereby established an Oversight
Committee for. the Project. Each Participant including the County shall appoint one
representative and one alternate representative to represent them on the committee.
The Oversight Committee shall meet at least once each quarter. The cost and
expenses of the Oversight Committee shall be a Current Expense. The
representatives shall be entitled to elect a chairman and vice chairman. The
Oversight Committee is formed for the purpose of fostering communications between
the Participants and the County. The committee shall:
(i) Review and make recommendations relating to each Annual Budget and
any capital project budget relating to Improvements;
(ii) Review quarterly and end-of-year financial reports, each annual audit
and annual inspection report of the County relating to the Sewer
System;
(iii) Request additional audits, inspections, and work when deemed
necessary;
(iv) Review the County's and each Participant's sewer rate structure and
make recommendations as to funding of the Capital Replacement
Reserve Fund to ensure that the County and/or Participant(s)is capable
financially of making Improvements when needed to meet the needs of
Participants;
(v) Review expansion plans of each Participant and recommend to the
Participant a system of fees that will be available for use by the County
when Improvements are required by virtue of the Participant's
expansion plans (it is the policy of the County to encourage each
-28-
Participant to establish in its respective sewer ordinance a system of
impact fees that not only address expansion of the Participant's
collection system but also expansions to the Sewer System required by
the collection system expansion);
(vi) Recommend amendments to the Sewer Service Agreement, these Rules
and Regulations, the County Sewer Use Ordinance, or any Participant's
Sewer Use Ordinance;
(vii) Make recommendations concerning expansion of the Sewer System
and/or the Participant's Service Facilities;
(viii) Attempt to settle disputes between the County and the Participants or
between Participants;
(ix) Otherwise encourage cooperation between the Participants and the
County and the success of the Sewer System;
(x) Report its findings and recommendations to the governing body of each
Participant.
Section 6.2. Technical Review Committee. There is hereby established a
Technical Review Committee comprised of the Participants. Each Participant
including the County shall appoint a representative to the Technical Review
Committee, which representative shall be the Participant's chief wastewater
operations and maintenance officer. The Technical Review Committee may elect a
chairman and a vice chairman and shall meet at least once in each fiscal year. The
purpose of the Technical Review Committee shall be to:
(i) Review and evaluate construction, operation, and maintenance of the
Sewer System;
(ii) Make recommendations as necessary for improvement of operation and
maintenance of the Sewer System and delivery of services.
Upon adoption by a majority of the representatives on the Technical Review
Committee, such recommendations shall be submitted to the County and the
Oversight Committee in writing, and the County shall make appropriate response
thereto in writing to the Technical Review Committee and Oversight Committee. The
Technical Review Committee and Oversight Committee may be one and the same
unless there is an objection by the County or a majority of Participants.

AMENDMENT NO. I
NORTHEAST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER PROJECT
SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT
It is agreed to and understood by all parties hereto that the Northeast Brunswick Regional
Wastewater Project Sewer Service Agreement entered into by the Town of Leland and County of
Brunswick on the 26th day of July 2001,shall be amended as follows:
WHEREAS,the County has constructed and operates a 1.65 mgd wastewater treatment plant and
transmission system known as the Northeast Brunswick Regional Wastewater System, which
provides wastewater treatment and transmission for the Participants in the Northeast Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System,and
WHEREAS,the County and the Participants have determined that a 0.825 mgd expansion of the
Northeast Brunswick Regional Wastewater System is needed and the County has agreed to
construct and operate the 0.825 mgd Northeast Brunswick Regional Wastewater System
Expansion (the "Expansion") which will treat wastewater generated within the Participant's
collection systems,and
WHEREAS, in order to assist in the construction of the Expansion, financing, and operation of
the Expansion,the Participants have agreed to amend the existing Sewer Service Agreement with
the County for sewer service to provide, among other things, for payment by the Participants of
(i) their pro rata portion of the capital cost of the Expansion through an Availability Charge,
Contribution in Aid of Construction,or otherwise, on a basis that equitably allocates among them
Expansion Costs.
1. EXPANDED SEWER SERVICE. Subject to the terms of the Standard Provisions, the
County agrees to construct, operate, and maintain the Expansion and upon completion
thereof, to provide additional sewer service in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED TWELVE
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED GALLONS PER DAY (412,500 GPD). The total sewer
service available to the Participant from the original Project and the Expansion is 1,160,100
gallons per day (gpd).
2. PARTICIPANT'S SHARE OF CAPITAL EXPANSION COSTS. In order to pay the
Participant's fair share of the Capital Cost of the Expansion, the Participant promises to pay
the County in each month an Availability Charge (as defined herein) equal to the sum of the
amount due in such month in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.The first Availability
Charge shall be due the first month that the Expansion is capable of accepting and treating
wastewater from the Participant as determined by the County's Consulting Engineer and
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The Participant may, in
lieu of paying an Availability Charge, pay to the County, a lump sum Contribution in Aid of
Construction an amount equal to their proportionate share of the Capital Cost of the
Expansion. Any lump sum amounts of Contribution in Aid of Construction must be paid
prior to the County awarding construction contracts. Lump sum of Contribution in Aid of
Construction will be used to reduce the debt borrowed on the project and pay costs associated
with the capital project. Based upon an Expansion of the 0.825 mgd and the additional sewer
service of 412,500 gpd, the Participant's proportional share of the Capital Expansion Cost is
determined to be 50.0%.
3. EXPANSION CAPITAL COST. The Expansion Capital Cost shall be defined as all costs
incurred in the construction of a 0.825 mgd expansion of the Northeast Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System and shall include but not be limited to engineering, equipment,
construction,easement acquisitions, financing charges, and permit fees. Upon completion of
the Expansion, the County will supply to all Participants a copy of the final audited
Expansion Capital Cost.
AGREED TO THIS THE 29th DAY OF FEBRUARY 2009.
