Reclaimed Water System — Renewal (FORM: RWS-R 02-21): In Section IX, the Deeded owner for the parcels listed do not match the owners that are shown on the Wake County NAPS online GIS map. This section shall be updated with the correct owners, and any Easement, Encroachment, and Lease Agreement applicable shall be provided to verify that the Permittee is allowed to operate and maintain the reclaimed water facilities on property not owned by the Permittee. Aqua Response: This section has been owners and is attached, along with the Irrigation Easement Agreements. B. Attachment C — Flow Reduction: updated with the correct WWTP and Effluent and It was indicated in this attachment that there was not an approved flow reduction in the existing permit. However, Conditions 1.1., VIA., and V1.5. of the existing permit indicate a data -based design flow rate of 240 gallons per day per home (GPD/home). In accordance with this attachment, the flow reduction approval letter shall be provided, as well as the measured monthly average amount of wastewater flow contributed per home for the 12 months prior to permit renewal. Aqua Response: See attached flow reduction approval letter and the measured monthly average amount of wastewater flow contributed per home for the 12 months prior to permit renewal. C. Attachment I — Compliance Schedules: See Item B.1. Condition 1.1. of the previous permit stated that within 60 days of the permit effective date, the Permittee shall re-evaluate the approved value using the methodology used to determine in the approved flow rate of 240 GPD/home or lot and submit this information as required in Condition VIA. Condition VIA. requests the actual monthly average amount of wastewater flow contributed per unit for the 12 months prior to permit renewal and re-evaluate the approved value if monthly averages are within 20% of the approved value. This information shall be provided for review, and a re-evaluation of the approved 240 GPD/home shall be provided if required. Aqua Response: Current permit renewal date is February 28, 2023, so 12 months prior to permit renewal would be January 2022 to January 2023. See attached Table 1 for this requested data None of the monthly averages are within 20% of the approved value and so a re-evaluation of the approved 240 GPD/home flow reduction is not required. D. Existing Permit: The Attachment B in the existing permit lists the Dedicated Land Application Sites (previously Non -Conjunctive Land Application Sites) associated with the permit. This Attachment appears to group common areas of Front 9 Fairways and Greens, Back 9 Fairways and Greens, Practice Areas and Greens, and Driving Range Tees and Fairways. However, it is unclear whether these field areas are irrigated as single zones with uniform applications based on the irrigation operations at this facility. If there are separate zones within the fields as they are listed in Attachment B that irrigate separately and at different rates, they shall be listed as separate fields for monitoring purposes of the land application fields If the subzones are irrigated separately within the fields as they are currently listed, they shall be listed in an updated Section a of the RWS-R form with the location and area of the subzones. Additionally, an updated site map shall be provided which shows the approximate locations of the subzones with their wetted areas. Aqua Response: The subzones are irrigated separately within the fields as they are currently listed in the permit in Attachment B, and so Attachment B has been updated with the location and area of the subzones. An updated site map is provided which shows the approximate locations of the subzones with their wetted areas. ROY COOPER Governor ELIZABETH S. BISER Secretary RICHARD E. ROGERS, JR.
