We are in receipt of the response to NOV-2016-PC-0302 dated, July 28, 2016. Unfortunately your response does not
provide the information that was requested. The problems that plague the Bay Tree facility are not immergent but
chronic and on -going permit violations. The system has been studied in the past, it should not be necessary to complete
this process again. We require a plan of action that goes beyond the studying or planning phase.
The, plan of action is to include:
1. Specific steps to address the excess'influent flow.
2. Specific steps to address the 12-month floating total violation.
Additional information to be included with the items above is a specific time line. It should include planned start dates
and completiondates for us to consider. This will assist with accountability. Please submit a response to these items
no later than August 25, 2016.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either Tony Honeycutt at
(910-433-3339) or myself at (910- 433-3326).

conditions. -
Violation I: Failure to meet the effluent limits of Attachment "A"for Permit Number WQ0018708.
Review of the monthly reports for Lake Creek Corporation., Permit WQ0037185, (05/2012—'03/2016)
revealed a violation for Flow, in conduit or through the plant. The limit for Flow, is 20,000 GPD monthly

for the period previously stated.
Suggested Corrective action for Violation I:
I ..
1. Upgrade the facility to accommodate the increased flow.
2. Eliminate Inflow and Infiltration concerns in the collection system. This will reduce the flow
entering the facility.
Violation 2: Failure to meet the application limitations yearly Max.! of Attachment "B" for Permit
Number WQ0018708.

Suggested Corrective Action for Violation II:
1. Eliminate Inflow and Infiltration concerns in the collections system. This will reduce the flow
entering the facility which will in turn result in lower application rates to the existing fields.
2. Permit additional land for new spray irrigation fields. This will allow the effluent to be applied
over a larger area, reducing the overall application rate per acre..
You are required to take any necessary action to immediately correct the above violations
and to provide a written response to this Notice by July 15, 2016. Please include in your
response a plan of actions to include a time line for the necessary upgrades and/or repairs.
Please be advised that this Notice of Violation does not prevent the Division of Water Resources
from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Neither does this
notice remove you from the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule,
State Statue or permitting requirement. Furthermore, the Division of Water Resources has the
authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter,, please do not hesitate to contact either Tony
Honeycutt at (910-433-3339) or myself at (910- 433-3326).

Re: Lake Creek Corporation Permit No. WQ0018708; Letter dated June 15, 2016.

Dear Ms. Henson:
In response to the subject letter and the effluent limits and the yearly application' limits
forthe subject Waste Water Irrigation System (WWT system), first know, that the work has
begun in this area. Lake Creek Corporation (LCC) has engaged Edwin Andrews & Associates, P.C.
(Edwin Andrews III, PG, NCLSS) and LKC Engineering,.PLLC (Adam Kiker, R.E.) to work together to
analyze our spray irrigation system and develop solutions to resolve the issues noted.
A hydrogeologic, soils and agronomic analysis has been performed to evaluate the
function of the spray irrigation system on 5.06 acres. The field work has'.included soils analyses,
Ksat analyses, aquifer testing and water level mapping. Thus far, it has been determined that the
limitation of the site is not associated with soils hydrology (Ksat), but rather lateral drainage. As
such, the coordination of the' process to engineer modification of drainage and spray
distribution with the remainder of the hydrogeologic, soils and agronomic analyses has begun.
Upon completion of the engineering and modifications above, LCC, with the help of LKC,
Andrews, Envirolink and other experts as appropriate, will turn its attention to another round of
study on collection system with the objective of better determination of the primary locations of
the system's inflow and infiltration. The goal will be to map the areas contributing to this
inefficiency in the system so as to engineer, plan and execute improvements in the efficiency in
the collection system and thereby the WWT system overall.
As you are probably aware, over the Iasi three years, Envirolink has been engaged as the
operator of responsible charge (ORC) for LCC's waste water treatment and spray -irrigation
facility. Since hiring Envirolink as the ORC, LCC's facility has become a significantly better system
through tighter operations. Additionally, over the last 18 months, Envirolink, has become BTUC's
contract billing and payment collections agent; and this, in turn, has translated to the funding of
improvements in maintenance on both the sewer collections and WWT;ends of the system.
We believe we have a solid team of professionals engaged and working to identify the
fundamental causes of issues across the system, engineer sound solutioins, and assist in the
actions that we will take to correct the issues and continue to improve the system.
Please feel free to contact•rne for further discussion or information:Thank you.
