Facility Overview: This facility is a minor facility (flow < 1 MGD) discharging 100% domestic wastewater with a design capacity of 0.0244 MGD. This WWTP utilizes the following treatment components: • flow equalization basin (including grinder pumps and high water alarm) [5,000 gallon] • aeration basin with dual blowers [25,200 gallon] • circular clarifier with drive unit and sludge return [5,169 gallon] • aerobic digestor [3,790 gallon] • chlorine contact tank with tablet chlorination • dechlorination • flow measurement • portable emergency generator Only after requesting permission from the Division to expand flow, and after submitting justification for expansion as supplement to applying for Authorization to Construct (ATC) as needed; and after submitting an Engineers Certification documenting treatment -system compliance with said expansion, not -to -exceed 0.030 MGD; and after receiving the Division's authorization to operate, the permittee can discharge from said treatment works. Section 2. Compliance History (January 2016 — November 2021): • Seven NOVs for Ammonia Nitrogen limit violation in April 2017, August 2017, September 2017, July 2018, August 2018, July 2019, and June 2021. • One NOV for TSS limit violation in May 2018. • One NOD for permit condition violation during compliance inspection in June 2021. Section 3. Changes from previous permit to draft: • Added facility grade in A. (1) and A. (2). • Updated eDMR footnote in A. (1), A. (2) and language in A. (3). • Updated outfall map. Section 4. Comments received on draft permit: • No comment received on draft permit. Section 5. Changes from draft to final: • Updated the effective period for monitoring requirements based on different flow phases in Section A. (1) and A. (2). • Reassigned from Emily Phillips to Siying Chen after Public Notice. Fact Sheet for Permit Renewal December 2021 -- NPDES Permit NC0076431 - Page 2 • From reviewing the permit history, we found that the effluent limits for ammonia nitrogen were changed in the 1996 permit renewal (See attached) due to the instream interaction with NC0082716, English Wolf Lodge. The monthly average effluent limits for ammonia nitrogen were reduced from no limits to 2.3 mg/L for the summer and 6.7 mg/L for the winter. The monthly average effluent limits for ammonia nitrogen calculated from the wasteload allocation worksheet are 3.7 mg/L for the summer and 10.2 mg/L for the winter. Since the effluents limits calculated from the instream interaction are tighter than the limits calculated from the WLA worksheet, we determined that no change needed on the current effluent limits, and thus no change to the final permit.

Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DEQ / DWR / Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division. Page 5 of 6 NPDES Permit NC0076431 Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. 2.

REGIONAL OFFICE EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS I spoke with Mr. Carl Daniel, Vice -President of CWS Inc. of NC, to discuss the possible plant expansion and his choice of toxicity monitoring and limits or ammonia monitoring and limits. He faxed me the attached letter to confirm his choice of ammonia monitoring and limits. Also, they would like to reserve the additional permitted flow for future expansion to 0.030 MGD. The Asheville Regional Office recommends that the permit be renewed for Blue Mountain Golf and Country Club with: * ammonia monitoring and limits in lieu of toxicity and * two limits pages one, for the current design capacity of 0.0244 MGD and the second, for future expansion flows of 0.030 MGD.

I have discussed the Wolf Laurel ammonia limits with our operations staff and our consulting engineer. Several adjustments were recently made to the plant that we believe will lower the ammonia concentrations; therefore," please draft the new permit using ammonia limits in lieu of toxicity monitoring. At the present time we have no plans to expand the plant to 0.03 MGD; however, we would like to continue to reserve the right to expand to 0.03 MOD to accommodate the developer's future development plans. I would like to thank you for consulting us about the limits and offering us the options of lower ammonia limits or toxicity monitoring. If you should have any further questions, please give a call.

Carl, We are in the process of drafting the subject permit for renewal. Since there are now two dischargers into Wolf Laurel Branch (Blue Mtn. G&CC and English Wolf Lodge), you will have summer and winter ammonia limits in your new permit. I talked to Benny Shelton today and we discussed what your ammonia monitoring has been for the past 12 months. It looks like you may want to choose toxicity monitoring/ limits in lieu of having ammonia monitoring/limits. Looking at the attached data, you will see that 5 of the last 12 months would have had ammonia violations, had you already had ammonia limits. Also, I need to know if the plant will be expanding to 0.03 MGD in the future. Taylor Bush said something about discharging into Hampton Creek. I guess he was talking about Skistock. If it will be expanding, then we will need to issue two separate limits pages. Give me a call when you get a chance or have someone let me know about your choice between ammonia and toxicity monitoring and limits and the plant expansion. Thanks, ff6 A. ().
