regarding the golf courses at both St. James (see Section 7 of agreement) and Winding River
(Carolina National) (see Section 9 of agreement) both of which address “Successors and
Assigns”. Each agreement states: in the event of conveyance of the courses that such
conveyances are subject to the provisions of the attached agreements. Based on review by our
Legal staff, these agreements are still in effect regardless of conveyance (ownership). Also, the
Sewer Service agreement between Brunswick County and the Town of Oak Island (Exhibit C-

N. Existing Permit

1. The irrigation sites at the IP tract and Mercer Mill site were originally permitted March 3, 2008,
under 15A NCAC 02T .0912(b). For reclaimed utilization under 15A NCAC 02T .0912(b),
Mr. John Nichols, PE
August 31, 2022
Page 4 of 4

beneficial reuse of the irrigation sites is required otherwise the sites are to be permitted as
wastewater irrigation (application rate of 91 inches per year or less). Beneficial reuse is defined in
15A NCAC 02U .0103(2). Please provide additional information regarding the beneficial reuse of
the above referenced irrigation sites. Both the IP and Mercer Mill sites have active Timber
Management Plans associated with the sites, these sites utilize the reclaimed water as a resource to
enhance growth of the timber and maintain existing and introduced ground cover to combat erosion.
Were it not for the reclaimed water available, these sites may be required to utilize potable (if
available), surface or groundwater resources to provide the necessary irrigation to maintain the
ground cover and promote tree growth. These sites are irrigated utilizing the same reuse
transmission main that is used for the infiltration basins and golf course irrigation for both St. James
and Winding River.

REUSE WATER AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED REUSE WATER AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made effective
as of January 5, 2004, by and between Bluegreen Carolina Lands, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Bluegreen Carolina Lands"), Bluegreen Golf Clubs, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation ("Bluegreen Golf Clubs"), and Brunswick County, a county of the State of North
Carolina (the "County').
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Bluegreen Golf Clubs owns a twenty seven -hole golf course known as

jdam
("GPD") serving Winding River Plantation; Q EM,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Sewer Service Agreement the County has agreed to expand
the Winding River Facility if needed, but the County intends to construct a facility to be known
as the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility (the "Regional Facility") and to
transfer all wastewater inflow from the Winding River Facility to the Regional Facility, such
transfer to be made, if possible, before the existing Winding River Facility reaches an operating
capacity at which construction of an expansion would be necessary;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Sewer Service Agreement, the County agreed to supply
treated effluent reuse water from the Winding River Facility or the Regional Facility to irrigate
the Golf Courses, and the Golf Course Owners agreed to accept such reuse water up to an agreed
quantity; and pursuant to that Reuse Water Agreement dated September 27, 2002 by and
between the Bluegreen Carolina Lands, Bluegreen Golf Clubs and the County, the parties agreed
on certain additional matters regarding the provision and acceptance of reuse water and the
operation and maintenance of irrigation facilities; and
W- HEREAS3 in -connection with-lbe-Country-'s-permit-aVplications,-D----Q-is-re�c airing that
the 2002 Reuse Water Agreement be amended to include certain provisions regarding operation

NV inding River Bluegreen Reuse Water Aareement (Dratil) l 2-17-W

ti k
1. Prior A eements. The 2002 Reuse Water Agreement is hereby amended,
restated, superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. The Sewer Service
Agreement shall remain in effect.
2. Provision and Acceptance of Reuse Water. Until completion of the irrigation
system on the Carolina National Course, the County shall pump all reuse water from the
Winding River Facility to the existing irrigation ponds on the Carolina National Course. The
Bluegreen Golf Clubs shall accept such reuse water for irrigation of the Carolina National Golf
Club Course, or portions thereof. Upon connection to the Winding River Facility or the Regional
Facility, the County shall supply reuse water to Bluegreen Golf Clubs, and Bluegreen Golf Clubs
shall accept such reuse water for irrigation of the Golf Courses. Bluegreen Golf Clubs agree to
accept an average of up to 500,000 GPD of reuse water for irrigation of the Golf Courses, with
the allocation of such amount between the courses to be determined by Bluegreen Golf Clubs in
accordance with required permits. Bluegreen Golf Clubs shall cooperate with the County to
determine the feasibility of accepting more than 500,000 GPD for irrigation of the golf courses.
Bluegreen Golf Clubs and the County shall cooperate to modify or obtain required permits for
irrigation of the golf courses in accordance with this Agreement.
3. Storage/Transfer Pond and Reuse Water Lines. Pursuant to section 3 of the First
Amendment to the Agreement for Conveyance of the Sewer System, Bluegreen Carolina Lands
shall provide, without cost to the County, an easement for use of the wet weather
storage/transfer pond to receive reuse water from the Regional Facility, and necessary easements
for a reuse water line from said pond to the golf course and to the existing reuse water line at the
Winding River Facility (the existing line currently transports reuse water from the Winding
River Facility to an irrigation pond on the Carolina National Golf Club Course).
4. Operation and Maintenance of Irrigation Facilities. The Bluegreen Golf Clubs
shall own, operate and maintain the existing irrigation ponds located on the Carolina National
Golf Club Course, and the irrigation lines, pipes, pumps and other equipment used to irrigate the
golf course. The Bluegreen Golf Club shall provide a certified spray irrigation operator at all
times in accordance with I 5A NCAC SG, including site visitation requirements. The Bluegreen
Golf Clubs shall spray an average of up to 500,000 GPD of reuse water on the Golf Courses,
subject to applicable permit limitations on irrigation during inclement weather or when the
ground is in a condition that would cause runoff. The aesthetic desires or management of the
Golf Club shall not be justifiable reasons for violating permit conditions related to irrigation. In
the event that the Golf Club fails to operate and maintain its respective irrigation system so as to
provide for acceptance of reuse water in accordance with this Agreement, then the County shall
leave � e n g� i 't center upoty -th-e=Carolina National Golf -Club Course -to -perform such operation
and maintenance.
5. Permit Com liance. Record Keeping. Enforcement and Civil Penalties. The
County shall provide to the Golf Club copies of all permits, renewals, notices and
correspondence from DWQ or any other regulatory agency or authority with respect to the reuse
water and spray irrigation systems. All reuse water provided by the County shall meet the
requirements and standards of applicable la,,,,, and permits. Bluegreen Golf Clubs shall have the
right to suspend acceptance of reuse water during any period in which the water does not meet
applicable requirements or standards, or would endanger health or property. The County shall be
Xk indme firer 8'ILKVret7- Rcuse �Vztcr Apreemeni iDra1i1;1:.1--:I,,Paee 2 of 4

responsible for conducting all sampling and testing of the treated wastewater effluent, as required
by applicable permits. The irrigation operator shall maintain records regarding irrigation of the
golf courses, as required by applicable permits, and such information shall be provided to the
County in a timely manner. The County shall be responsible for maintaining records regarding
reuse water inflow to the storage/transfer pond, and for submitting all required reports regarding
such reuse water to DWQ. In the event that a civil penalty is assessed against the County by
DWQ for any alleged permit violation for which Bluegreen Golf Clubs is responsible, Bluegreen
Golf Clubs shall remit the amount of the penalty to the County for payment to DWQ; provided
that the Golf Club shall have the right to contest any alleged violation and the County shall
cooperate for that purpose. The County shall pay any civil penalty that results from a permit
violation for which the County is responsible.
6. Reuse Water Charges. Section 3.2 (g) of the Sewer Service Agreement stipulates
that throughout the duration of the operation of the Winding River Facility, the County shall
provide reuse water without cost for irrigation of the Golf Club; and that when operation of the
Winding River Facility ceases and wastewater is transported to the Regional Facility, Brunswick
County shall provide reuse water to Bluegreen Golf Clubs at a rate that shall not exceed the rate
established for all other similarly situated reuse customers at the prevailing rate for reuse water
in Brunswick County. Brunswick County shall provide reuse water to the Golf Club at a rate
that shall not exceed the direct cost of service of transporting such reuse water. All costs
incurred by the County for design, engineering, construction and installation of facilities and
equipment shall be part of the capital cost of the regional wastewater system and shall not be
considered costs of service for purposes of determining the reuse water rate. The reuse water rate
shall be reviewed annually in accordance with current law and adjusted as necessary to cover the
direct costs of such service, but shall in no event exceed the rate established for other similarly
situated reuse customers. Since irrigation needs vary based on the seasons and rainfall,
Brunswick County will consider requests from the Golf Club to waive, or reduce, the costs of the
treated effluent based on rainfall conditions that can be documented that the Golf Club accepted
effluent from the West Regional System and irrigated the fairways of the golf courses when the
reuse water was not absolutely needed by the Golf Club. Justification for such a request to waive
reuse charges shall be based on total rainfall during a particular calendar month. When rainfall
exceeds 6.00 inches during the months of April, May, June, July, August, September or October,
or when rainfall exceeds 2.09 inches during the months of November, December, January,
February or March based on a compilation and comparison of rainfall data recorded at the Golf
Club and readings recorded by the County at the West Regional Treatment Facility, the County
will receive requests from the Golf Club to waive effluent charges. The decision to grant a
request for the waiver of the monthly billing for reuse water shall be made unilaterally by the
Count- abased_or-the_aforementionec>_data—
7. Term; Modifications. The initial term of this Agreement shall be twenty-five (25)
years, and such term shall automatically be extended for successive periods of ten (10) years
unless terminated as hereinafter provided. Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to
terminate its obligations hereunder as of the expiration of the initial term or any extension
thereof by giving written notice to the other parties and to DWQ at least three years prior to such
expiration date. This Agreement may not be otherwise terminated; modified or amended without
the prior approval and consent of DWQ or other appropriate authority of the State of North
Carolina. Any modification or amendment shall be in writing specifically referring to this
1l indmp River Blucgreen Reuse WWI Agreement Mrafth 12-17-0=Fade 3 of 4

Agreement and signed by the parties whose obligations are affected by such modification or
amendment.

the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors in interest. Bluegreen Golf Clubs
shall have the right to convey all or portions of the Carolina National Golf Club Course without
the consent of Brunswick County, provided that any conveyance of any portion of Golf Club that
is permitted for reuse water irrigation shall be made subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
In the event that Bluegreen Golf Clubs conveys the entire portion of its Golf Club that is

In the proposal submitted to the Town of Oak Island, Brunswick County indicated that it would accept up to one
million gallons per day of wastewater from the Town upon completion of a force main from the Town to the
County's system and prior to completion of the wastewater treatment plaM expansion. A Memorandum of
Understanding has been developed that outlines the terms under which the County wiil accept the wastewater and
the methods of calculating the operation and maintenance charges associated with the plant operation.
The County staff recommends approval of the Memorandum of Understanding and that the Chairman and Clerk be
authorized to execute the agreement on behalf of the County.
BACSGROUND/PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
In the proposal submitted to the Town of Oak Island, Brunswick County indicated that it would accept up to one
million gallons per day of wastewater from the Town upon completion of a force main from the Town to the
County's system and prior to completion of the wastewater treatment plant expansion. This proposal was
contingent upon the approval of a Sewer Service Agreement between the Town of Oak Island and Brunswick
County. Most of the provisions in the Sewer Service Agreement do not take effed until completion of the plant
expansion and associated improvements.
To facilitate the acceptance of the wastewater prior completton of those improvements, a separate agreement was
drafted. The Memorandum of Understanding outlines the terms under which the County will accept the wastewater
and the method that wlll be used to calculate the operation and maintenance costs that will be paid by the Town of
Oak Isiand. The operation and maintenance charges will be calculated the same for all entities discharging
wastewater to the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
The agreement will become null and void upon completion of the plant expansion and associated improvements

estimates, subject to adjustment based on actual meter readings. The monthly billings and payments of
the participant are based on a rate that it estimated to provide funding adequate for actual and necessary
operating expenditures and debt service of the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Project. Since the
rate for billing is based on estimated revenues and expenditures it will be necessary for Participants in the
plant to make a"true up" payment annually in the event actual expenditures are in excess of actual
revenues or in the event actual annual revenues are in excess of expenditures, surpluses will either be
credited back to the Participants or based upon the recommendation of the Oversight Committee, be

limiting the obligation of any Political Subdivision to pay Monthly Service Charges and the Count~s other
rates and charges to or from non-tax revenues of the Political Subdivision so that a Sewer Service

Subdivision's faith and credit which has not been approved in accordance with the provisions of Article V,
Section 4 of the Constitution of North Carolina.
Section 1.15. Bills. As a convenience to the Participants, the County will mail each
Participant a bill not later than the date for mailing provided for in the Rules and Regulations covering
sewer treatment provided during the previous month. All bills shall be sent to the address of the premises

which bills are to be mailed. Failure to receive bills will not be considered justification for non-payment of
amounts due, nor permit an extension of the date when the account will be considered delinquent. The
County may, at any time, correct any bills for service that may be in error.
Section 1.16. Interest. interest on delinquent Monthly Service Charges shall accrue duringtheperiodofnon-payment at the rate of 10% per annum, subject to periodic adjustment by the CountysubsequenttoreviewbytheOversightCommittee.

refunds in successive monthly installments over such 90-day period or may make the refund in the form of
a credit to future amounts due to the County by the Participant over such 90-day period. Interest shall
accrue on the refund at the same per annum rate specified in Section 1.16.

CAPITAL CHARGE REPAYMENT SCHEDULE
In accordance with Section 7 of this Sewer Service Agreement, the Town of Oak Island is
obligated to begin paying a Capital Charge to Brunswick County in the first month of
completion of the Capital Improvements described in Exhibit B.
At this time, the sources and amounts of debt financing for the project have not been
finalized. The Town of Oak Island and Brunswick County agree to revise this Exhibit
based upon the final sources of money and amount of funds from those sources.
The Town of Oak Island's share of the debt associated with the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System shall be its proportional shaze of all of the cost of West
Brunswick Regional Wastewater System including the facilities constructed to serve
portions of Brunswick County, the Town of Holden Beach and the Town of Oak Island.
The cost of the facilities shall include all engineering, land acquisition and construction
associated with the facilities.
As the Town of Oak Island will assume a portion of the debt associated with the
construction of the existing 3 mgd West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System (Phase
n, the Town agrees to pay its proportionate share of the existing debt from the time of the
initial debt financing. As the principal and interest payments on the debt associated with
the construction of the 3 mgd plant(Phase n will start prior to completion of the 3 mgd
expansion (Phase In, the Town of Oak Island agrees to reimburse the County and Town
of Holden Beach, its proportionate share of any payment made on the debt associated
with the 3 mgd West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System (Phase n, The
reimbursement of the Town of Oak Island's shaze of these debt payments sha11

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
WEST BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Brunswick County will construct a 3 mgd expansion of the West Brunswick Regional
Wastewater System such that the plant will have a total treatment capacity of 6 mgd.
Construction will also include a transmission main from the ETJ limits of the Oak Island
to the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Plant, effluent reuse lines to designated
effluent reuse locations and effluent disposal systems at the effluent reuse sites.
The West Brunswick Regional Wastewater Plant has been designed as a tertiary
treatrnent facility and the plant and subsequent expansion will meet or exceed the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) regulations for
effluent reuse. The plant and subsequent expansion will be designed to meet the
following criteria:
A monthly average for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of less than or equal to 5
mg/1 and a daily maximum TSS of less than or equal to 10 mg/1.
A monthly average for Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of less than or equal to
5 mg/1 and a daily maximum BOD of less than or equal to 10 mg/1.
A monthly average for Ammonia of less than or equal to 4 mg/1 and a daily
maximum Ammonia of less than or equal to 6 mg/1.
A monthly geometric mean of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 14/100 ml
and a daily maximum of Fecal Coliform of less than or equal to 25/100 ml.
Continuous on-line monitoring of turbidity is required and the reuse effluent
cannot exceed 10 NTU.
In addition to meeting these requirements, the facility will include a storage pond for
wastewater effluent that does not meet the reuse criteria and a storage pond for times
when inclement weather prevents spraying of effluent on the disposal sites. Effluent
disposal sites have been identified for the facility where treated wastewater effluent can
be sprayed. Wastewater sludge generated at the facility will be treated to meet EPA 503
regulations for a Class A Sludge. Ultimate disposal of the sludge will be by land
application.
The West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System will serve the following entities.
Brunswick County
Town of Holden Beach
Town of Oak Island
EXHIBIT C
PROPOSAL CONCEPT AGREEMENT
Brunswick County submitted a proposal to the Town of Oak Island in June, 2005. The
pmposal was based upon a number of concepts that affect the overall cost of the project.
Brunswick County and The Town of Oak Island mutually agree to the following concepts
outlined in the proposal.
1. Existing Oak Island Tracts To Be Used For Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal.
Oak Island owns two tracts of land located near NC 211 that will be used for
effluent reuse as a part of the expanded West Brunswick Regi.onal Wastewater
System. Under the terms of this agreement, the 770 acre tract would be deeded to
Brunswick County for use as an effluent disposal site.
The existing `debt on the 770 acre tract will be included as a part of the costs
associated with the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System and will be
assumed by the Participants in the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System
based upon capacity allocation in the system.
The Town of Oak Island agrees to enter into a 30 year lease with options for
renewal of the lease for the 105 acre tract with Brunswick County. Under the
terms of the lease, the Town of Oak Island may notify Brunswick County that it
desires to terminate the lease; however, the Town of Oak Island cannot obtain sell
or otherwise use the property until such time that an alternate effluent disposal
site with the same effluent reuse capacity or better is obtained and an effluent
reuse system constructed on that site. The Town of Oak Island would further
agree to pay 100% of the cost of purchasing the alternate effluent disposal site and
the cost of constructing a new effluent disposal system on that site.
2. Reimbursement of Prior Engineering Work on the Force Main Routing ~nd
Town Owned Effluent Reuse Sites
The Participants in the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System agree to
reimburse the Town of Oak Island up to $400,000 for engineering services
performed on components of the Phase II Improvements of the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater System including the 105 acre and 770 acre effluent reuse
sites owned by the Town and on the proposed force main routing that is required
by the regulatory agencies to receive SRF Funding and/or construction permits.
The reimbursement will be included as a part of the overall project cost and the
reimbursement will not occur until the sale of the revenue bonds associated with
this project.
3. Interim Capacity in the Existing Regional Force Main in NC 211
To expedite the treatment of a portion of the wastewater from the Town of Oak
Island, Brunswick County will allow the Town of Oak Island to connect to a new
force main to be constructed from the Town of Oak Island ETJ boundary which
will connect to the existing sewer force main in NC 211 and transport up to an
average of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater per day to the West Brunswick
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The flow rate dischazged to the force main
in NC 211 shall not exceed 1,260 gallons per minute without approval of
Brunswick County.
4. Operation of the Oak Island East Water Reclamation Facility
Under the terms of this agreement, the Town of Oak Island will continue
operation of the. Oak Island East Water Reclamation Facility and satellite reuse
facility. '

POLICY GUIDELINES
AND
RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR
RENDERING SEWER SERVICE
THE COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK
WHEREAS, the County of Brunswick is a political subdivision of the State of North Carolina
operating subject to the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act; and
WHEREAS, the County owns and operates the West Brunswick Regional Wastewater System
the "ProjecY') for the purpose of providing a reliable and self-sufficient source of sewer treatment to
potential Participants commensurate with the orderly development and continued prosperity of the central
part of the County; and
WHEREAS, it is the County's goal to establish and charge reasonable and economical rates and
charges for the service provided by the Project which are sufficient for the County to operate and maintain
the Project as a financially self sustaining enterprise and to assure continued, uninterrupted sewer service
to all Participants; and
WHEREAS, the following guidelines for rate making and financing are intended to allocate the
Cost of service to all Participants in an equitable manner:
a) Monthlv Service CharQes. The County shall develop for the Sewer System Monthly
Service Charges, which reflect the County's Current Expenses and operating expenses
during each Fiscal Year, the County's growth rate, its capital construction programs, and
its financing requirements. The Participant recognizes, however, that charges in addition
to Monthly Service Charges will be necessary to establish an overall system of rates and
charges, which is equitable to all Participants.
b) Caoital Charge. The County may, with legal capacity to obligate itself to do so, require
Participants to pay for a minimum monthly capital charge without regard to the actual
amount of service used by the Pa~ticipants.
c) _System Develo~ment CharQes. Non-charter Participants shall pay their fair share of
the Cost of existing facilities of the Sewer System, which in the opinion of the County
directly or indirectly benefit all of the Participants of the Sewer System. Although it is the
general policy of the County that new Participants are entitled to sewer service at the
same Monthly Service Charges charged its existing Participants, the County recognizes
that existing Participants have and will continue to provide funds to pay part of the Cost of
facilities having a system-wide benefit through the payment of Monthly Service Charges
or other amounts to the County. The County thus shall establish and collect System
Development Charges so that later Participants pay a portion of the Cost of such facilities
previously paid by the existing Particip8nts.
1-
d) Connection Charaes. The County shali establish and collect from each new
Participant Connection Charges sufficient to pay the Cost of all facilities which the County
identifies in its opinion as being exclusively for the direct or indirect benefit of the
Participant and for which the Participant does not directly pay.

for new or expanded service after the effective date of these Rules and Regulations a System
Development Charge based on the Cost of the County's West Regional Sewer Project facilities for the
applicable Project existing at the time payment of the charge is due. Each System Development Charge
shall equal an amount which bears the same ratio to the Cost of the West Brunswick Regional Sewer
Project as the average gallons per day (gpd) of sewer capacity requested by a Participant bears to the
total average gpd of sewer capacity of the Sewer System, as determined from time to time by the CountYs
consulting engineer. Adjustments will be made to a System Development Charge if a Participant uses
more sewer capacity than requested. In such cases where a Participant provides sufficient guarantee of
payment, the Participant may with the consent of the County pay any System Development Charge by
periodic payments upon such terms as the County deems appropriate, including interest.
