Q. Can people drink the reclaimed water
instead of potable water?
A. No. Because reclaimed water does not
meet drinking water standards. While there's
nothing to suggest that reclaimed water
should hurt people, state regulations do not
allow the consumption of reclaimed water.
Q. Can people "hose -off' with the
reclaimed water? Can our children play in
reclaimed water?
A. No. Because reclaimed water does not
meet drinking water standards, it should be
used only for approved purposes.
Q. How will the reclaimed water affect
people if it gets on their clothes?
A. There will be no effect. You should
simply wash your clothes as you normally
would.
Q. When is it safe for people to go where
reclaimed water has been?
A. It is safe to walk on grass during
irrigation with reclaimed water

RECLAIMED WATER
What is Reclaimed Water?
Reclaimed water is the final product of an
advanced treatment process that eliminates
pathogens (solids, organics and viruses)
from wastewater resulting in safe, clean,
and high —quality water. This treatment
process produces water that is ideal for
lawn watering, cooling towers, and other
commercial purposes, but is not intended
for human or animal consumption.
Where our Water Goes
During the summer months, nearly 50
percent of the water that flows through
our water meters is used to water
landscapes and turf grass. By using
reclaimed water, we can reduce the
amount of drinking water use for non-
drinldng purposes such as irrigation,
cooling of buildings, and other commercial.
uses.
Why use reclaimed water?
Water used to supply Hendersonville's
growing population and economy has
increased significantly during the past
several decades. Naturally occurring
groundwater has been used to meet most
of the increasing use. But high -quality
groundwater supplies may not be able to
meet all future needs. At the same time, it
has become more difficult to dispose of
increasing quantities of treated wastewater
in an environmentally sound manner.
Using reclaimed water, such as domestic
(household) wastewater addresses both of
these problems.
Benefits of using reclaimed
water
• Reduces demand for highly
treated drinking water
• Reduces nutrient discharges to
the receiving streams
• Reduces costs for customers
• Extends the life of treatment
facilities
Things you should know
about using reclaimed water
• NO consumption of reclaimed
water (human or animal)
• NO inter -connection with another
water source
• NO watering of fruit trees or
vegetable gardens
• NO use for body -contact
recreation
• NO Filling of swimming pools or
hot tubs
NO watering within 25 feet of
streams
• NO runoff into streets and gutters
• NO watering within 100 ft. of
wells except monitoring wells
Reclaimed water is all
around us
Reclaimed water is commonly used to
irrigate golf courses, residential landscapes,
agricultural fields and sports fields. It
provides nutrients that reduce the need for
fertilizer. Reclaimed water also can be used
for industrial heating and cooling, for car
washes and to replenish wetlands during
times of drought. Using reclaimed water
where appropriate leaves us with greater
supplies of fresh, pure drinking water
Reclaimed water is a
resource... use it wisely!
Watering with reclaimed water is a smart
alternative to using drinking water. Proper
and efficient use by all consumers will help
ensure the safe and continued availability
of this resource.

Thank you for your time,

Reclaimed WaterQ &A
Q. How reel ' ed water affect
people if it gets eir skin, in their eyes,
or if they I entally sw w some of it?
will be no harmful
Q. Can people drink the reclaimed water
instead of potable water?
A. No. Because reclaimed water does not
meet drinking -water standards. While there's
nothing to suggest that reclaimed water
should hurt people, state regulations do not
allow the consumption of reclaimed water.
Q. Can people "hose -off' with the
reclaimed water? Can our children play in
reclaimed water?
A. No. Because reclaimed water does not
meet drinking water standards, it should be
used only for approved purposes.
Q. How will the reclaimed water affect
people if it gets on their clothes?
A. There will be no effect. You should
simply wash your clothes as you normally
would.
Q. When is it safe for people to go where
reclaimed water has been?
A. It is safe to walk on grass during
irrigation with reclaimed water

RECLAIMED WATER
What is Reclaimed Water?
Reclaimed water is the final product of an
advanced treatment process that eliminates
pathogens (solids, organics and viruses)
from wastewater resulting in safe, clean,
and high —quality water. This treatment
process produces water that is ideal for
lawn watering, cooling towers, and other
commercial purposes, but is not intended
for human or animal consumption. The
City of Hendersonville reclaimed as
defined by North Carolina rules and
virtually indistinguishable from drinking
water.
Where our Water Goes
During the summer months, nearly 50
percent of the water that flows through
our water meters is used to water
landscapes and turf grass. By using
reclaimed water, we can reduce the
amount of drinking water use for non -
drinking purposes such as irrigation,
cooling of buildings, and other commercial
uses.
Why use reclaimed water?
Water use to supply Hendersonville
growing population and economy has
increased significantly during the past
several decades. Naturally occurring
groundwater ha .n used to meet most
of the increasing use. But high -quality
groundwater supplies may not be able to
meet all future needs. At the same time, it
has become more difficulty to dispose of
increasing quantities of treated wastewater
in an environmentally sound manner.
Reusing reclaimed water, such as domestic
(household) wastewater addresses both of
these problems.
Benefits of using reclaimed.
water
Reduces demand for highly
treated drinking water
• Reduces nutrient discharges to
the receiving streams
• Reduces costs for customers
• Extends the life of treatment
facilities
Things you should know
about using reclaimed water
• NO consumption of reclaimed
water (human or animal)
• NO inter -connection with another
water source
• NO watering of fruit trees or
vegetable gardens
• NO use for body-W.ct
recreation
f
• NO Filling of swimming pools or
hot tubs
o NO watering within 25 feet of
streams
• NO runoff into streets and gutters
Reclaimed water is all
around us
Reclaimed water is commonly used to
irrigate golf courses, residential landscapes,
agricultural fields and sports fields. It
provides nutrients that reduce the need for
fertilizer. Reclaimed water also can be used
for industrial heating and cooling, for car
washes and to replenish wetlands during
times of drought. Using reclaimed water
where is appropriate leaves us with greater
supplies of fresh, pure drinking water
Reclaimed water is
resources... use it wisely!
Watering with reclaimed water is a smart
alternative to using drinking water. Proper
and efficient use by all consumers will help
ensure the safe and continued availability
of this resource.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
COUNTY OF Henderson
ENVIRONMENTAL MAT - - -EMENT COMMISSION
DWQ Case Number LV-2010-0317
IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT
OF CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST:
City of Hendersonville
REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request, I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request, and because
no factual issues are in dispute, my presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee, you must complete and return this form within thirty (30) days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual, corporation, partnership or municipality, the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.iicbar.com/etbies, Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee; however, if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations, such as an expert, engineer or consultant, then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation, partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee, then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non -lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation, please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners, your own signature and 2) for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities, signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also, be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the
Committee is informed that a violation of the State Bar occurs.

Case Number: LV-2010-0317 Region: Asheville County: Henderson
Assessed Entity: City of Hendersonville Permit: WQ0034350
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation:
The City of Hendersonville states that the violator promptly abated continuing environmental
damage resulting from the violation by discontinuing the use of bulk reclaimed water. The City
states that efforts to provide chlorine disinfection of the reclaimed water, in a batch -type process,
have been initiated. The City feels the cost of the penalty could be better utilized in the purchase
of a batch treatment tank.
The Asheville Regional Office agrees that, the City of Hendersonville promptly discontinued use
of the bully distribution systemwhen they discovered that fecal coliform limits had been exceeded.
However, this effluent water was used to sweep streets and therefore had the potential, for public
contact. The permit limits were exceeded by 316% (daily maximum), 668% (daily maximum) and
909% (monthly geometric mean).
❑ (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
.❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:

Permit No. WQ0034350 Amount assessed: $499.76-
Please use.this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"Request For Remission, Waiver of to an Administrative Hearing. and Stipulation of
Facts" form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that
you believe support your. request and are necessary for the Director to consider in determining
your request for remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to
consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the
amount. of the civil penalty assessed. 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. By law [NCGS 1.33-215.6A(f)] remission of
a civil penalty may .be granted when one or more of the following five factors applies. Please
check each factor that you. believe applies to your case and provide a detailed explanation,
including copies of supporting documents, as to why the factor applies (attach additional pages
as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are
included in the attached penalty matrix and/or listed in the civil penalty
assessment document);
X (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent
future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the
violation was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you
from performing the activities necessary to achieve compliance).
EXPLANATION• The City promptly discontinued use of this bulk reclaimed water and has initiated
efforts to provide chlorine disinfection in a batch -type process. This will allow for the addition of chlorine
(sodium hypochlorite) to this reclaimed water, which is otherwise disinfected with UV, and provide the
required detention/contact time and testing prior to release of each batch for use. Plans and specifications
will be submitted to DWQ for review and approval prior to construction and use of this new system. We
feel that the cost of this penalty could be better utilized in the purchase of a batch treatment tank.

factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes
whether:

wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) .the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the

violation was unavoidable or something yo.0 could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil pendly will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions (i. e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you
from performing the activities necessary to achieve compliance).

What is reclaimed water?
Reclaimed water is the final product of an
advanced treatment process that eliminates
pathogens (solids, organics and viruses)
from wastewater resulting in safe, clean,
and high —quality water. This treatment
ucess produces water that is ideal for
lawn watering, cooling towers, and other
commercial purposes, but is not intended
for human or animal consumption. The
Cite of Hendersonville reclaimed water
exceeds all water quality requirements as
defined by North Carolina rules and
virtually indistinguishable from drinking
water.
Where our water goes.
During the summer months, nearly 35
percent of the water that flows through
r water meters is used to water grass,
. ter landscapes, wash vehicles and wash
down driveways, all of which are defined
as iron-e senliu/" uses of potable water. By
using reclaimed water, we can reduce the
amount of drinking water used for non -
drinking water purposes.
Why use reclaimed water?
Water used to supply Hendersonville and
Henderson County's growing population
and economy has increased significantly
during the past several decades. Naturally
occurring surface water has been used to
meet most of the increasing demand. At
the same time, it has become more
difficulty to dispose of increasing
quantities of treated wastewater in an
environmentally sound manner. Using
reclaimed water addresses both issues by
decreasing demand on drinking water
supplies and reduces the amount of
wastewater discharged into surface waters.
Benefits of using reclaimed
water:
• Reduces demand for highly
treated drinking water;
• Reduces nutrient discharges to
the receiving streams;
• Reduces costs for customers;
• Extends the life of treatment
facilities.
Things you should know
about using reclaimed water.
• NO consumption of reclaimed
water (human or animal);
• NO interconnection with another
water source;
• NO watering of fruit trees or
vegetable gardens;
• NO use for bode -contact
recreation;
• NO filling of swimming pools or
hot tubs;
• NO watering within 25 feet of
streams, creeks, ponds, lakes;
• NO runoff into streets, drivew-ays
and gutters.
Reclaimed water is all
around us.
Reclaimed water is commonly used to
irrigate golf courses, residential landscapes,
agricultural fields and sports fields. It
provides nutrients that reduce the need for
fertilizer. Reclaimed water also can be used
for industrial heating and cooling, for car
washes and to replenish wetlands during
times of drought Using reclaimed water
where ' appropriate leaves us with greater
supplies of fresh, pure drinking water
Reclaimed water is a
valuable resource... Use it
wisely!
Watering with reclaimed water is a smart
alternative to using drinking water. Proper
and efficient use by all affected customers
will help ensure the safe and continued
availabilin- of this resource.
