A. Section I — Applicant Information:
The Applicant listed in this section is Waters Edge Property Homeowners Association on High
Rock Lake ("Homeowners Association"), which is different than the previous Permittee, Water's
Edge Property Owners Sanitary Sewer Association ("Sanitary Sewer Association"). The Secretary
of State website indicates that Sanitary Sewer Association has changed their legal name to Waters
Edge Property Owners Association on High Rock Lake ("Property Owners Association"), which
isn't exactly what is listed in the application. Please clarify whether the Homeowners Association
is the same entity as the Property Owners Association, and whether Mr. Cameron Spencer is
considered the President of this entity.
B. Section VIII — Monitoring Wells:
The Division is concerned that monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-3 have become backfilled with
sediment which may adversely impact the data reported at these wells. The Division requests that
well integrity testing is performed on both monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-3 to determine if these
wells are open to the aquifer or have become plugged, collapsed, or otherwise not functioning
properly. These tests shall be performed by a North Carolina certified well contractor. The results
of these tests shall be submitted for the Division for review.
C. Attachment E — Operational Agreement:
1. The Home Owners' Association Operational Agreement included in the application was dated the
15t` of September, 2015. This Operational Agreement shall be renewed with this permit renewal
and shall be re -executed.
2. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T. 0115(c), legally formed Homeowners' or Property Owner's
Association shall submit a copy of the Articles of Incorporation, Declarations, and By-laws with
permit application. This information shall be included with the executed Operational Agreement in
Item C.1.
D. Attachment I — Compliance Schedules:
Compliance Schedule I.2. of the previous permit required that a revised facility map showing the
clearly demarcated spray irrigation field and area of these fields shall be prepared and submitted,
and if the area of the spray irrigation field requires a change from the value shown in Attachment
B, a request for a modification shall be filed with the Division. The revised map appears to show
the spray coverage area listed as 4.9 acres, which is different than the 7.0 acres listed in the previous
permit's Attachment B and the total of 6 acres listed in the application under Section IX — Irrigation
Fields. Additionally, this map doesn't appear to have a distinction between Fields 1 and 2. Please
clarify the acreages of these fields, and provide a distinction of the two different fields on the map
with each field's acreage.
