As you know once a daily maximum is exceeded there isn't any action to reduce this violation. The operator did make adjustments to aeration, return sludge, and sand filter to improve performance. Other than operational steps taken the operator did attempt to resample the plant with seven resamples to lower the monthly average. Per outline in your violation letter the following are factors we trust can lessen the amount of fine to the permittee as follows: ASSESSMENT FACTORS 1) One or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1 (b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; Two resamples resulted in additional fines while attempting to resample and lower monthly average. Penalized for resampling. 2) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; In past twelve months, one out of compliance month with Daily TSS of 1 Img/L over I limit of 10 mg/L and one monthly NH3N violation of 6.9 mg/L over 6.0 mg/L limit in July 2017.

As you know once a daily maximum is exceeded there isn't any action to reduce this violation. The operator did make adjustments to aeration, return sludge, and sand filter to improve performance. Other than operational steps taken the operator did attempt to resample the plant with seven resamples to lower the monthly average. Per outline in your violation letter the following are factors we trust can lessen the amount of fine to the permittee as follows: ASSESSMENT FACTORS 1) One or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1 (b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; Two resamples resulted in additional fines while attempting to resample and lower monthly average. Penalized for resampling. 2) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage - resulting from the violation; In past twelve months, one out of compliance month with Daily TSS of I lmg/L over limit of 10 mg/L and one monthly NH3N violation of 6.9 mg/L over 6.0 mg/L limit in July 2017. All effluent limit violations may be detrimental but may not be immediately ' quantifiable. No effluent was irrigated in December 2017 or January 2018 but held in the wet weather storage tank or upset tank until February 2018. P.O. Box 1325 Asheville, N.C. 28802 (828)-251-1900 (828)-251-1945 NOV-2018-LV-0I94/W00028693 9/5/18 Mountaintop RPB Systems, Inc. 3) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; Violations are never willfully or intentionally committed. Most violations are never predetermined when sampling. In most cases the difference in BOD from a 10 mg/L to 15 mg/L or TSS from 5 mg/L to 18 mg/L is not detectable by sight or smell. This violation was inadvertent since was not detectable during sampling events. 4) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalized for any previous violations; or In past twelve months, one out of compliance month with Daily TSS of 1 lmg/L over limit of 10 mg/L and one monthly NH3N violation of 6.9 mg/L over 6.0 mg/L limit in July 2017. 5) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial action. Any payment for penalties has to be funded from budgeted operating expenses or other means. The operator incurred added expenses with operator collecting an additional seven (7) TSS resamples with increased lab costs and additional 28 hours of driving time to Lab in Asheville and 1050 extra miles driven. I In addition to the required outline above stated in the violation letter we have added the following: 1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; All effluent limit violations may be detrimental but may not be immediately quantifiable. Again, No effluent was irrigated in December 2017 or January 2018 but held in the wet weather storage tank or upset tank until February 2018. We trust with information contained in this response letter you can greatly reduce the amount of penalty to the permittee.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the Non -Discharge Monitoring Report (NDMR) submitted by Mountaintop Community Association Inc for the month of December 2017. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in Non -discharge Permit No. W00028693. The violations, which occurred in December 2017, are summarized in Attachment Alto this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Mountaintop Community Association Inc violated the terms, conditions or requirements of Non -discharge Permit No. W00028693 in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty maybe assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).

Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: I (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. I The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request.

Permit: W00028693 ❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied, to the detriment of the petitioner: Pernrittee States: Two resamples resulted in additional fines while attempting to resample and lower monthly average. Penalized resampling. DWR Response: ARO does not agree that we assessed penalties for resampling. We assessed based on exceeding the permit limit. ❑ (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation: Pernrittee States: In past twelve months, one out of compliance month with daily TSS of 11 mg/1 over limit of 10 mg/L and one monthly NH3N violation of 6.9 mg/L over 6.0 mg/L limit in July 2017. All effluent limit violations may be detrimental but may not be immediately quantifiable. No effluent was irrigated in December 2017 or January 2018 but held in wet weather storage tank or upset tank moil February 2018. DWR Response: The environmental damage was not immediately quantifiable but the fact that irrigation did not occur hi December 2017 or January 2018 does not address the exceedances. And, off -spec effluent would onlv automatically go to the upset tank if the turbidity limit was exceeded. Turbidity was not exceeded in December 2017. ® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident: Pernrittee States: Violations are never wit fully or intentionally committed. Alost violations are never predetermined when sampling. b: most cases the difference in BOD from 10 n7g/L to 15 Afg/L or TSS from 5 mg/L to 18 mg/L is not detectable by sight or smell. This violation was inadvertent since was not detectable during sampling events. DWR Response: ARO agrees the violations were not svil f ul or intentional and that was stated in the Assessment Factors document. ❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations: Permittee States: In the past twelve months, one out of compliance month with Daily TSS of 11 mg/L over limit of 10 mg/L and one monthly NH3N violation of 6.9 mg/L over 6.0mg/L limit in Judy 2017. D1VR Response: ARO agrees the facility has a good compliance record. The facility had one CP in 2017 for limits violations in 2016 as stated in the Assessment Factors document. ❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions: 1/2 Permiltee States: Any payment for penalties has to be funded from budgeted operating expenses or other means. The operator incurred added expenses with operator collecting an additional seven (7) TSS resamples with increased lab cost and additional 28 hours of driving time to lab in Asheville and 1050 extra miles driven. DWR Response: ARO agrees that there is a cost for additional sampling. But it seems the issue is to determine the underlying cause of the exceedances not the cost for additional sampling. ARO recommends remitting $200 based on compliance history. DECISION (Check One) Request Denied ❑ Full Remission ❑ Retain Enforcement Costs?

Mr. Mike Beck and Mr. Nick Puskarich were present and assisted with the inspection. The WVVFP appears to be well operated and maintained. Please review the questions sections for specific observations. Permit Schedule 1.7. states, "Within 90 days of permit issuance, the Permittee shall submit a long-term (15 years or more with the ability to renew) agreement signed between the Permittee and Mountaintop Golf and Lake Club, LLC to ensure disposal and accessibility to irrigation areas located within the golf club. The Agreement was submitted to the Asheville Regional Office via e-mail March 15, 2015. The Agreement was signed but was not dated. Item #10, Tenn of the Agreement, indicates an initial 5-year term with successive 3-year renewals unless terminated as provided herein. Please resubmit the Agreement, dated and with the 15-year term. The following issues were noted during the inspection and are not compliant with permit conditions: 1. A new water supply well (WSW#6) was drilled near irrigation Zone 3. The well does not have the required 100 ft. buffer from the waste boundary. The sprayhead can be adjusted or cut off to obtain the required buffer. A minor modification would then be required to remove the affected acreage. In addition, WSW#3 and #6 appear to be located within the Compliance Boundary. Permit Condition II. 15. states in part... no wells, excluding Division approved monitoring wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g). 15A NCAC 02T .0105(h) - states in part... Where wells would otherwise be inside the compliance boundary as established in 15A NCAC 02L .0107, the applicant may request the compliance boundary be established closer to the waste disposal area and this shall be granted provided the groundwater standards can be met at the newly established compliance boundary. A minor modification should be submitted for the new compliance boundary. (WSW#2 — the approximate distance from the waste boundary to the well is 101 ft. This buffer should be verified and if less than 100 ft., the acreage should be modified.) 2. Per permit Schedule 1.6. —Within 60 days of completion of installation of Monitoring Well (MW-1 B), an updated site map was to have been submitted to the Division of Water Resources in Raleigh. A file review associated with this inspection indicates the updated map was not submitted. The updated site map can be submitted along with the minor modification referenced above. The map should include all components listed in Schedule 1.6. as well as the water supply wells.

Box 2126 Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina BLE Project No. JIS-10122-01 Dear Mr. Laverty: Bunnell-Lammons Engineering, Inc. (BLE) is pleased to submit the attached Report of Monitoring Well Abandonment and Replacement for Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club located in Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina. The assessment consisted of abandoning the existing monitoring well MW-91 and replacing it with a newly installed MW-01R, in order to produce a higher yielding well. The monitoring well abandonment and drilling activities were performed by BLEB drilling division, Landprobe Drilling Services (Landprobe), and overseen by BLE personnel. On October 28, 2015, Landprobe personnel abandoned the existing monitoring well (MW-01) with neat cement grout. The grout was pumped through tremie pipe from the terminal depth of the well upward, to the ground surface. A North Carolina Well Abandonment Form GW-30 is attached to this documeht. On November 3, 2015, Landprobe personnel drilled and installed the replacement well, MVV-01R, adjacent to the former MW-01 location. A Schramm T45OWS Air -Rotary drill rig employmglan 8"- diameter air -rotary hammer bit was utilized for the drilling process. The boring was advanced to a terminal depth of 28-feet below ground surface (bgs), and the well was installed to a depth of 25.6-feet bgs. The stabilized groundwater depth was at approximately 17-feet bgs on November 3, 2015. Monitoring well construction logs, a monitoring well construction record (Form GW-1), and a monitoring well location plan are attached to this document. BLE appreciates the opportunity to provide our professional services on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us at (864) 288-1265.

Box 2126 Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina BLE Project No. J15-10122-01 Dear Mr. Laverty: Bunnell-Lammons Engineering, Inc. (BLE) is pleased to submit the attached Report of Monitoring Well Abandonment and Replacement for Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club located in Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina. The assessment consisted of abandoning the existing monitoring well MW-01 and replacing it with a newly installed MW-01R, in order to produce a higher yielding well. The monitoring well abandonment and drilling activities were performed by BLEB drilling division, Landprobe Drilling Services (Landprobe), and overseen by BLE personnel. On October 28, 2015, Landprobe personnel abandoned the existing monitoring well (MW-01) with neat cement grout. The grout was pumped through tremie pipe from the terminal depth of the well upward, to the ground surface. A North Carolina Well Abandonment Form GW-30 is attached to this document. On November 3, 2015, Landprobe personnel drilled and installed the replacement well, MW-01R, adjacent to the former MW-01 location. A Schramm T450WS Air -Rotary drill rig employigg an 8"- diameter air -rotary hammer bit was utilized for the drilling process. The boring was advanced to a terminal depth of 28-feet below ground surface (bgs), and the well was installed to a depth of 25.6-feet bgs. The stabilized groundwater depth was at approximately 17-feet bgs on November 3, 2015. Monitoring well construction logs, a monitoring well construction record (Form GW-1), and a monitoring well location plan are attached to this document. BLE appreciates the opportunity to provide our professional services on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us at (864) 288-1265.

Per your letter the 1115115 TSS 5.4 mg/L and Fecal 240#/100 ml sample results did result in exceedence of the monthly average of 5.0 mg/L and 25#/100ml respectively. We collected two more fecal results of <1.0#/l00 ml to have a monthly average of 6.21#/100ml. We should have further tested the TSS within the month to attempt to bring the average for the month lower than 5 mg/L. The only parameter we focused on was the fecal after the first weeks sampling event. The missing TOC was an oversight by our operator and testing lab. Measures are taken to make sure these are collected 3x/year as required. Call anytime if I need to provide any further information or assistance.

NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Pat McCrory Governor June 24, 2015 Mr. Bob Barr RPB Systems Post Box 1325 Asheville, NC 28802 Subject: Request to modify permit WQ0028693 Relocation of Monitoring Well (MW) #1 Mountaintop Community Association Jackson County Dear Mr. Barr, r(-_._ J D L Resources Donald R. van der Vaart Secretary We have received your request on behalf of Mountaintop Community Association to modify the subject permit regarding abandonment and relocation of MW#1. After reviewing the monitoring data, we feel that four sampling events is not sufficient to show that MW#1 is producing a sufficient volume of groundwater to warrant leaving it in its current location. Therefore, the permit Schedule I.4. (MW abandonment) & 5. (MW relocation) remain in effect. The permittee should propose a location for the replacement well and staff from the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) will come out to evaluate the proposed new location. Additionally, our staff hydrogeologist would like to be on site when the new well is drilled. We have reviewed the surface water data for Attachment A monitoring point PPI 002. Based on the information submitted, we do not believe this monitoring site is still needed. You may request a minor permit modification to drop this requirement from the permit. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 296- 4685 or via e-mail @ bev.price ,ncdenr.eov.

Condition I.1 through I.6 —Regarding compliance schedules for the wastewater treatment. plant improvement and relocation of monitoring well MW-1 (due to lack of adequate water level for sampling). Since this dry monitoring well issue during our most recent drought years we have been able to collect samples on 3-19-14, 7-30-14, 11-20-14, and most recent 3-18-15. We would like to request this well not be relocated at this time. The well location was originally approved and construction performed in accordance to 15A NCAC 02C .0108. We have no assurance if this well is relocated that we will be able to collect ground water from a new well primarily due to mountain region we are located. Locating adequate potable water is very difficult in our region even at much deeper depths. Reporting dry wells must be acceptable since the State reporting form has a check box for dry well at collection date. I trust you agree with our request for not requiring the relocation of MW-1 at this time. Call anytime if you have questions or concerns. Robert Barr I Cc: Eric Shomaker P.O.

Per your letter the May 2013 sampling did result in exceedence of daily and monthly average limits for fecal coliform. The initial high valve resulted in an automatic exceedence of daily coliform limit. Our staff thought the result of the second sample with <Img/L value resulted a compliance monthly average. The electronic spreadsheet provided by Raleigh does not calculate the <> values correctly in the geometric mean so we did not further sample. Your letter also states a daily maximum of 7.2 mg/L for N143N which must be an error since we reported a 0.25 mg/L and 0.45 mg/L results for an average of 0.35 mg/L. Please note the system is underway with an improvement project to expand the flow equalization chamber and install a new tertiary filter unit which will greatly improve the overall system performance.

March 2014 NDMR — An NOV will be issued for failure to monitor for Chloride & Total Dissolved Solids The NOV/REA's referenced above were initially addressed in a Proposed Settlement Agreement letter to Mountaintop dated December 11, 2013. The Settlement Agreement was given as an option because it is currently being used as an option by the DWR for NPDES permits. The idea was that the permittee would make modifications to the WWTP which would address the problems causing limits violations and those enforcements would be held in abeyance until the upgrades were in place. However, Jon did not feel that we should use the Settlement Agreement for Non -Discharge permit limit violations. Instead, we agreed that the permit would be modified to reflect the modifications to the WWTP. The permit would contain a Compliance Schedule for upgrades to the WWTP. When the upgrades are completed, those NOV/REA's would not be considered for further enforcement. Any limits violations in the meantime would be BPJ in BIMS. All limits violations after WWTP upgrades will be considered as usual for enforcement action based upon current guidance. 15.

December Result = 4.1 mg/l; Permit Monthly Limit = 4.0 mg/I No action taken so far. March 2014 NDMR — An NOV will be issued for failure to monitor for Chloride & Total Dissolved Solids The NOV/REA's referenced above were initially addressed in a Proposed Settlement Agreement letter to Mountaintop dated December 11, 2013. The Settlement Agreement was given as an option because it is currently being used as an option by the DWR for NPDES permits. The idea was that the permittee would make modifications to the WWTP which would address the problems causing limits violations and those enforcements would be held in abeyance until the upgrades were in place. However, Jon did not feel that we should use the Settlement Agreement for Non -Discharge permit limit violations. Instead, we agreed that the permit would be modified to reflect the modifications to the WWTP. The permit would contain a Compliance Schedule for upgrades to the WWTP. When the upgrades are completed, those NOV/REA's would not be considered for further enforcement. Any limits violations in the meantime would be BPJ in BIMS. All limits violations after WWTP upgrades will be considered as usual for enforcement action based upon current guidance. 15.

The tertiary filter is manually cleaned. Turbidity meter was calibrated on 4/30/2014 by Mike Beck. Effluent flow meter was calibrated on 6/7/13 by Mike Beck. Monitoring WeII(MW)#1 has been dry on occasion. This well might need to be relocated if this becomes a persistent issue. The facility has had numerous limits violations over the past several years. They are currently working with William G. Lapsley and Associates to determine how best to address these issues. They intend to modify the permit to double the size of the EQ Basin and replace the tertiary filter with a traditional sand filter.

We subcontract with Pace Analytical for sampling and testing of the monitoring wells at Mountaintop. Pace had scheduled the sampling these wells the week of the 25 of November. Due to the weather this week and the holiday, Pace was not able to sample the site. The sampler, Mark Swann, called and spoke with Andrew Moore of your office about this issue on the 11-27-13 and confirmed we would be sampling the following week due to these issues. We always strive to comply with all permit limits and sampling periods and do not know of another time this has occurred for sites we have been responsible for in thirty years of service. I trust you understand our constraints and issues this particular month. Feel free to contact me anytime if I need to provide any further information or assistance.

The flow equalization chamber will be doubled in size to 80,000 gpd,`which will allow the seasonal high weekend flows to be spread out, further utilizing the same pumps and air mixing. The existing settling plate filter will be replaced with a complete package tertiary filter unit, which will include a media sandfilter system complete with air scour and backwash pumps to treat 80,000 gpd. These additions will allow for future secondary expansions up to 80,000 gpd, without expanding the flow equalization and tertiary filter again. We hope that you will agree with these recommendations. Please call if you have questions or concerns. 71 Sincerely, 1.

However, high flows have occurred (July & August 2013), usually on weekends/holidays. The facility had numerous effluent limit violations in 2013 which resulted in Notices of Violation (NOV). Those NOV's are being considered for further enforcement. A Proposed Settlement Agreement was issued to Mountaintop in December 2013 to address the violations. This Agreement has not been finalized and will require approval from our central office. There are WWTP upgrades that might alleviate these compliance issues according to your engineer and contract operator. MW# I has been dry or had a limited volume of water over the last few years.

Skvarla, III Secretary Staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) recently reviewed the November 2013 Forms GW-59 (Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Forms) for the subject facility. The following item specifies a permit condition that was in violation during the time of the review. Attachment C of the subject permit requires monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 to be sampled every March, July, & November. A review of the Forms GW-59 indicates that the wells were sampled in December 2013. To prevent further enforcement actions, please sample monitoring wells as specified in your permit. Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Resources who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more that twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars against any "person" who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S. 143-215.6A.

Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club Wastewater Treatment & Reclaimed Water Utilization System Jackson County Dear Mr. Duckett: In the last several years, Mountaintop Wastewater Treatment Plant has been experiencing significant permit non-compliance issues. The facility has had numerous effluent limit violations and has received Notices of Deficiency (MOD's) and Notices of Violation (NOV). The last four NOV'S (May, June, July and August 2013) are being considered for further enforcement action. The estimated penalties associated with those NOV'S are $2396.32 including enforcement costs. We understand the difficulty in operating a W WTP that is not utilized to capacity. We also understand from the responses indicated on the monthly Non -Discharge Monitoring Reports, that on -going adjustments are made in the operation of the W WTP in hopes of alleviating compliance issues. However, it does not appear that these attempts are proving to be successful. It is recommended that Mountaintop enter into a Settlement Agreement with the Division. Such an Agreement would allow the Division to hold the pending civil penalties and any future civil penalties in abeyance, while the necessary investments and plant modifications or upgrades can be completed.

Our next sample on 7-16-13 was compliant with 0.43 mg/L, which averaged 6.72 mg/L for the Month.

NOV Total Suspended Solids - Daily max 10 mg/L; Monthly Average 5 mg/L The Daily maximum were exceeded for TSS on 8/20/13 with 12 mg/L, 8/27/13 with 14 mg/L, and 8/29/13 with 13 mg/L. These additional daily maximums from the initial 8/21/13 hit were in an attempt to bring down the averages with further sampling. As a result our daily average was 9.32 mg/L for the month. With low limits with basically a secondary treatment plant we adjust air, solids wasting, return sludge volume, adjust pH and disinfection rates to meet the 10 mg/L BOD, 5 mg/L TSS, 4 mg/L NH3N, and 14 mg/L fecal limits. As you are aware one hit during the month that makes daily max exceedance can never be resampled to full compliance. From that point only resamples can work to bring monthly averages within acceptable range. I trust this answers your issues and feel free to contact me anytime if I need to provide any further information or assistance. Cc: Eric Shomaker P.O.

We treatment plant has a simple plate settler chamber for tertiary treatment. This is not a typical gravity sand filter system with automated backwash you would normally have for tertiary limits. We have been asked by the owner to price a Tertiary Filter for this system which we will be forwarding by the end of this week. I would anticipate the owners attempting to install this unit by late spring before the next season if they can obtain the funds needed. Specific areas outline will be addressed as follows: 1. Fecal coliform >600 occurred on 6/18/13 and our NDNR form provided calculated the mean as 1.0 with our 1 colonies/100 ml and> 600 colonies/l00 ml calculated the geometric mean as 1.0. We assumed the average was correct and the daily max could never be sampled to success in the remaining days of the month. We have always resampled to the maximum to bring averages within range. The form does not correct the greater than values entered. 2. The BOD of 16 mg/L occurred on the 18`h as well. We resampled as much as we could (<2.0 on 19th, <2.0 on 20th, <2 on 20, and <2 on 25); our average was 5.61 mg/1 but could do nothing about the 16 mg/I daily max. 3. The TSS averages and daily max exceeded during the month with (14mg/L on the 4th, 17 mg/L on the 7, 13mg/L on the 111h, 14 mg/L on the 171h, 15 mg/L on the 18", good results of <2.5 mg/1 on the 1901 and 201h, then 9.2 mg/L on the 20, and 7 mg/L and 6 mg/L on the 24th and 25th respectively.

Also, the valve handle is completely corroded and should be replaced. A letter from the Town of Highlands indicating that they agree to accept residuals from Mountaintop should be acquired and kept with the operation/maintenance log, or alternatively, the residuals hauler can provide a permit authorizing residuals disposal. Both effluent tanks had 12' of freeboard. Chris Green should be designated as a backup operator for the WWTP. The effluent meter was not calibrated in 2012. The tertiary filter system is being looked at as the possible cause of the TSS and ammonia permit limit exceedances. The ORC indicated that the permittee might consider having the filter system re -engineered next winter. The filter tank residuals are pumped weekly back to the digester and the tank is washed down. Effluent samples were collected as part of this inspection. When the final laboratory report is issued, the sample results will be forwarded to the permittee. An Notice of Deficiency will be issued for failure to calibrate the effluent flow meter.

Also, the valve handle is completely corroded and should be replaced. A letter from the Town of Highlands indicating that they agree to accept residuals from Mountaintop should be acquired and kept with the operation/maintenance log, or alternatively, the residuals hauler can provide a permit authorizing residuals disposal. Both effluent tanks had 12' of freeboard. Chris Green should be designated as a backup operator for the WWTP. The effluent meter was not calibrated in 2012. The tertiary filter system is being looked at as the possible cause of the TSS and ammonia permit limit exceedances. The ORC indicated that the permittee might consider having the filter system re -engineered next winter. The filter tank residuals are pumped weekly back to the digester and the tank is washed down. Effluent samples were collected as part of this inspection. When the final laboratory report is issued, the sample results will be forwarded to the permittee. An Notice of Deficiency will be issued for failure to calibrate the effluent flow meter.

Per your letter the following violations occurred: 1. TSS Limit Daily Maximum Limit 10 mg/L. Reported 14mg/l 2. BOD Limit Daily Maximum Limit 15 mg/1 Reported 32 mg/l 3. N143N Daily Maximum Limit 6 mg/1 Reported 7.8 mg/1 October started with good results on 10-2-12 for all parameters. Without an upset we would expect the next weeks sampling to have similar results but after the analysis period we were notified of the high results. Our ORC, Mike Beck, adjusted what he could at the WWTP and all parameters except TSS were compliant the following week on the 16th. Mike continued to adjust and resample four additional runs during the month to have all parameters meet the monthly averages requirements. During the month we collected the following additional tests beyond the permit requirements at no additional cost to the owner: Five additional BOD's —all compliant Five additional NH3N's-all complaint Seven additional TSS's-all but two compliant I trust you will agree we did everything possible to correct pour results but could not erase the daily maximums as they occurred.

The ASSOCIATION was formed for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, afflairs and business of the development known as c,u . ,� o� C� o f F 0" a � ke_ LL "b (hereinafter the Development); of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the lands and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the wastewater collection system with pumps, wastewater treatment works, and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System); and of collecting dues and assessment to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair. 2. The ASSOCIATION desires, to construct and/or operate a Disposal System to provide sanitary sewage disposal to serve the Development on said lands. 3. The ASSOCIATION has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit pursuant to G.S. 143- 215.1 to construct, maintain, and/or operate the Disposal System. 4. The Development was created subject to unit ownership in the dwellings units, other improvements and lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter 47C of the North Carolina General Statutes. 5. 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 ASSOCIATION do hereby mutually agree as follows: I' 1. The ASSOCIATION shall construct the Disposal System and/or make any additions or modifications to the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and specifications hereafter issued and approved by the COMMIS SION, and shall thereafter properly operate and maintain such systems and facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law. 2. The ASSOCIATION 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. FORM: HOA 06-07 Page 1 of 2 3. The ASSOCIATION shall l ide in the Declaration and Associatie flaws 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 fund allocated for the facility and shall be part of the yearly budget. 4. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund(s) 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 be provided such that special assessments can be made as necessary at any time. 5.
