the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluateitalong the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation
of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This
analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using

In accordance with your permit renewal request received May 6, 2022, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0002829 dated July 29, 2022, to KDHWWTP, L.L.C. for the continued operation of the
reclaimed water generation, high -rate infiltration, and dedicated reclaimed utilization facilities , as well as
the continued operation and subsequent conversion of the Train A reclaimed water generation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through April 30, 2029, shall replace Permit
No. WQ0002829 issued July 14, 2017, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than November 1, 2028.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A, B, and C for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
July 14, 2017:
> Old Condition I.1 — This condition has been removed as the Town of Kill Devil Hills does not
own any of the reclaimed water irrigation sites.
> Old Condition I.2 — This condition has been met.
> Old Condition 1.6 — This condition is no longer required.
> Old Condition II.6 — This condition has been removed as the green area requirements have been
repealed.
> Old Condition III.20 — This condition has been removed because it is inherently covered under
new Condition I1I.8.
