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 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE RECLAIDAED WATER P.O. BOX 1760 I ENDERSONVILLE NC 28793 PH. (828) 697-3077 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE 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.

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 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE RECL UV= WATER P.O. BOX 1760 HENDERSONVILLE NC 28793 PH. (828) 697-3077 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE 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.

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.

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: DECISION (Check- On.)

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. \Rem. req. (voW/ 0 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE -P.O.

How will the reclaimed water affect people if it gets on their skin, in their eyes, or if they accidentally swallow some of it? A. There will be no harmful affects. Q. Can people drink the reclaimed water instead of potable water? No. 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. Reclaimed water does not meet drinking water standards, it should be used only for approved purposes. Q. How will the reclaimed water affect >ple if it gets on their clothes? A. There «ri11 be no effect. You should simply wash your clothes as you normally would. Q.

HENDERSONVII LE, NC 28792 (828) 697-3077 CITY OF HENDERSONVILLE BULK RECLAIMED WATER I 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. APPENDIX - G Procedure for Loading Reuse Water. All vehicles, trucks or trailers being used for hauling Reuse Water (RW) are to stop by the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) office at 99 Balfour Road. There they will be assigned a fill station attendant who will instruct the driver of the proper use of RW. The attendant will provide an instructional pamphlet and fill out as much of the City of Hendersonville's Bulk Reclaimed Water Form as he can. The form will contain the following; 1 - Fill Station Attendant's Name. 2 - Customer's Name 3 - Customer's Address 4 - Customer's Phone Number 5 - Fill Date 6 - Beginning Meter Reading 7 - Ending Meter Reading 8 - Signature of Attendant 9 - Purpose or Intended Use of the Water. Filling will be done by connecting the reuse lines flow meter to the vehicle or mobile tank to be filled by a hose. When full the hose will be disconnected and the meter will be read again. Any spillage is caught by the containment. The attendant is responsible for the following; 1 - Making sure the system is in order and ready to be left un-attended. 2 - The last filled vehicle has left and the premises are secure. (Gates closed) 3 — That the paper work either be entered In to the computer or placed in its proper place.
