Additional Information
Dear Ms. Raup-Plummer
This transmittal letter accompanies documents being provided in response the Divisions request for
additional information regarding Application No. WQ0044044. This includes an Engineering
Certification Statement, an updated Reclaimed Water Systems — Conjunctive Utilization Form, the
Finalized Soil Agronomist Report, an updated Site Map, a Spill Control Plan, and a copy of the lease
agreement associated with this site.
Application Comments Response
A. The requested letter and certification form are attached to this submittal.
El. Photos have been provided and the locations have been marked on the updated site map.
E2i. Existing valve boxes and covers are either green or black and state "IRRIGATION CONTROL
VALVE". The valve boxes are not lockable, but their actuation will not cause sprinkler heads to
activate. Sprinkler heads can only be activated as described below in response to comment E2iii.
If more labeling is required, the applicant can phase in the necessary materials as direct by permit.
E2ii. Items that are part of the irrigation system are indicated as such, and there are two signs (one at
Hole 1 and one a Hole 10) which warn golfers and employees that reclaimed water is used for
irrigation. If more identification is required, the applicant can phase in the necessary materials as
directed by permit.

Hazen
E2iii. This irrigation system is only able to be activated electronically with a computer or by access to a
lockable telemetry box. The golf course operators are the only personnel with access to the
computer and telemetry boxes. All valves serve to isolate various portions of the distribution system
in cases of irrigation pipe failure. The actuation of these valves has no effect on the actuation of
sprinkler heads; therefore, no valves nor outlets are physically locked. If further securing of valves
is required, the applicant can phase in the necessary materials as directed by permit.
E2iv. The hose bibs utilizer a quick disconnect to attach a hose and require a special tool to open or close
the hose bibbs valve inside the buried valve box. Only course employees are provided with the
tool to operate these valves.
E3. The back flow preventor inside the flow meter vault is owned and operated by Charlotte Water.
Charlotte Water is scheduled to perform a test of the backflow preventor and will share the results
with the applicant. These results will be submitted to DWR as well once received.
F1. Romspen Tradition LLC leases this property from Mecklenburg County. There is an error in the
Mecklenburg County GIS database listing them as an owner, which Mecklenburg County is
addressing. Romspen does not own this property, Mecklenburg County is its sole owner. Attached
is the lease agreement (with addenda) between Mecklenburg County and Romspen Tradition LLC.
G1. The final Soil Agronomist Report is attached to this submittal.
H1. See Engineering Certification Statement and letter.
I1. See Engineering Certification Statement and letter.
J1. The system is telemetry based. The entire system is divided into zones corresponding to a telemetry
tower (to see all zones, refer to the updated site map). Each sprinkler head in any particular zone is
wired directly to the telemetry tower corresponding to the zone within which it is located. The
sprinkler heads may be operated either directly from the locked telemetry tower or from a computer
or mobile application which only the club operator has access to. The club operator is responsible
for irrigation run times which is decided the operator's judgement considering projected weather
and by physically testing for soil moisture. Irrigation is typically performed when the course is
closed, usually overnight and sometimes in the early morning.
K1. An updated Site Map is attached to this submittal.
L1. A Spill Control Plan is attached to this submittal.

Re: The Tradition Golf Club Irrigation System
Dear Ms Raup-Plummer:
The Tradition Golf Club employs an irrigation system to water the course fairways, greens, and driving
range. Constructed and commissioned in 1997, the system has always been supplied with water from
Charlotte Water. Originally, the source water was reclaimed water distributed by Charlotte Water from its
Mallard Creek Water Reclamation Facility under Reclaimed Water Permit No. WQ0013252. However,
for nearly the last decade, Charlotte Water has been supplying the system with potable water. The
Tradition Golf Club desires to return to irrigating operations using reclaimed water, but under their own
permit. Charlotte Water will still continue to provide the reclaimed water.
Today, the Tradition Golf Club's irrigation system operates much the same as it did when originally
started up in 1997 and uses virtually all the same equipment and distribution piping. Water supplied from
Charlotte Water at a flow meter vault near Polk and White Rd to a booster pump station (BPS) skid in a
building adjacent to Hole 4. At the BPS, two pumps increase the water supply pressure and convey flow
to a 300-gallon storage tank. Water flows from the storage tank through a 6" pressure reducing valve and
then into the irrigation piping system that distributes water across the entire course. Several isolation
valves are located at points within the piping system to isolate sections for maintenance purposes.
The piping system is divided into 7 zones of sprinkler heads; however, irrigation practices are not
scheduled around these zones. Rather, these zones define which of the 7 telemetry boxes from which the
sprinkler heads are controlled and monitored. In 2018, the Oasis g2 system by Flowtronex was integrated
into the irrigation system to control and monitor sprinkler heads. With this system, groundskeepers are
able to operate as few as 2 sprinkler heads at a time. The control system works by maintaining a set
pressure in the piping system. When sprinklers are turned on, the system pressure drops, and the pumps
are called to run or increase speed (via VFDs) until the pressure has returned to the set point. When
sprinklers are turned off, system pressure builds until the pumps are called to reduce speed (via VFDs) or
shut down.
Generally, groundskeepers perform a daily in -person survey of the moisture conditions across the entire
course. The results of that survey allow them to input into the control system where the irrigation system
will be used for that day. The groundskeepers are able to dictate either how long a given pair of sprinkler
heads should run for (to the nearest second) or set the number of inches that are to be applied. The control

system knows the application area for each sprinkler head and can use system pressure to calculate how
long a sprinkler must operate for in order to apply the set number of inches.
Except for the relatively new control and monitoring system, the irrigation system at the Tradition Golf
Club is installed and operates as originally designed. After multiple site visits, I have concluded that the
system appears to be in good working condition.
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
WMSS has been contracted by Hazen and Sawyer to evaluate The Traditions Golf Club
to determine suitability for inclusion in a Reclaimed Water Systems - Conjunctive
Utilization (RWCU) non -discharge permit application. The subject property evaluated is
associated with the Traditions Golf Club located at 3800 Prosperity Church Road 0.6
miles west of the intersection of NC State Road 1305 (Cuthbertson Road) in
Mecklenburg County, N.C. (Figure 1).
The Soil Scientist / Agronomist evaluation was conducted on October 11, 2022. The
information provided is for inclusion in a Reclaimed Water Systems - Conjunctive
Utilization (RWCU) (15A NCAC 2U) non -discharge permit application to the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources
(DWR) Non -Discharge Branch (NDB). It is our understanding that reclaimed quality
wastewater is being generated at the Mallard Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
and will be the source considered for irrigation purposes for conjunctive use.

Soil Scientist / Agronomist Report WMSS Project No. 16-14, Phase: 03
The Traditions Golf Club December 5, 2022
2.0 SOIL SCIENTIST EVALUATION
WMSS Soil Scientist, Mr. Rob Willcox and Agronomist, Mr. Martin Mabe conducted an
evaluation of the soils throughout proposed areas identified by Hazen and Sawyer for
RWCU consisting of current irrigated areas within The Traditions Golf Club (greens,
fairways, tee boxes, and driving range). The Soil Scientist Evaluation has been conducted
in accordance with the regulations pertaining to Reclaimed Water Systems — Conjunctive
Utilization (15A NCAC 02U), more specifically 15A NCAC 02U .0201 (Application
Submittal — Conjunctive Systems), and current soil science practices and technology.
Site mapping was performed to locate existing features which affect the potential
suitability for RWCU. Surface features which are required to be identified, if present,
include: surface waters, any well with the exception of monitoring wells and other
features which may require buffer conditions. Surface features were identified based on a
site reconnaissance. Maps were prepared using Arcview 10.8 a Geographic Information
System (GIS). Field data was collected identifying locations evaluated on the site plan
provided by Hazen and Sawyer. Base maps were generated using information from the
following sources: ESRI, Inc., and Hazen and Sawyer (Figures 1 and 2).
WMSS conducted thirty-three (33) hand -auger borings to characterize the soils / soil
material within the proposed areas for RWCU (Soil Profile Descriptions - Appendix I)
at the locations shown on Figure 2. General soil profile descriptions were performed to
identify the following information: thickness of the horizon; texture; color and other
diagnostic features; structure; internal drainage; depth; thickness and any type of restrictive
horizon(s); presence or absence and depth of evidence of any seasonal high water table; and
topography and landscape position. The soil profile descriptions represent the soil
characteristics that were dominant across the areas evaluated. The areas evaluated were
evaluated using the Mecklenburg County Soil Survey, hand auger borings,
topographic/aerial maps, and a reconnaissance of proposed areas for RWCU. Relevant field
features were identified. Hand auger borings were advanced at selected locations across the
areas evaluated to provide the soil scientists with information to develop general soil profile
descriptions, which were used for determining recommended maximum irrigation
precipitation rates (inches per hour) within the proposed irrigation areas as required by the
regulations pertaining to Reclaimed Water Systems — Conjunctive Utilization (15A NCAC
02U), more specifically 15A NCAC 02U .0201 (Application Submittal — Conjunctive
Systems).
The proposed areas evaluated are further identified within the attached (Figure 2). GIS
layers were obtained from ESRI, Inc. and Hazen and Sawyer.
2.1 Proposed Irrigation Areas
Soils within the proposed RWCU irrigation areas were previously mapped by the United
States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS)
as the Enon, Helena, Iredell, Mecklenburg and Vance soil series. Based upon the 33 hand

Soil Scientist / Agronomist Report WMSS Project No. 16-14, Phase: 03
The Traditions Golf Club December 5, 2022
auger borings performed the predominant soils identified more closely resembled
Udorthents (highly disturbed — cut and fill material of the native soil). No evidence of a
seasonal high water table was identified within 12 inches of the existing ground surface
during the soil evaluation. Variants of each of the following soil series were identified and
consisted predominantly of cut and fill variants of the following: Enon series (Fine, mixed,
active, thermic Ultic Hapludalfs), Helena series (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic
Hapludults), Mecklenburg series (Fine, mixed, active, thermic Ultic Hapludalfs) and
Vance series (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Hapludults). Each location evaluated
is well suited for RWCU. (Soil Profile Descriptions- Appendix I).
2.2 Instantaneous Rates
An instantaneous rate, or hydraulic loading rate in inches per hour (in/hr) was calculated
using field measurements of textures for the surface horizons, along with ranges of
percent slopes from each of the proposed areas. The approximate instantaneous rate for
the proposed irrigation areas is listed in the following table (Table 1).

Percent (%)
(in/hr)
Proposed Reclaimed

Source: Sprinkler Irrigation Association Journal
Potential instantaneous rates range from 0.1 to 1.0 in/hr. Based upon site specific
conditions, proposed instantaneous rates should be 0.5 in/hr range.
Soil characteristics of the surface layer include the surface horizon texture, depth to a
change in horizon, and the water holding capacity of the surface layer (% volume).
These soil properties determine the ability of the soil to drain. Proper drainage for good
agricultural practices is the difference between available water at field capacity and
available water at permanent wilting point. Field capacity is the water content after a soil
is wetted and allowed to drain. Permanent wilting point represents the lower limit to
which a plant can still extract water from the soil. To avoid fields from reaching
permanent wilting point, an irrigation period must be determined. Irrigation periods are a
function of time during application events, drainage of the field back to field capacity,
and re -aeration of the field.

3.0 PROPOSED IRRIGATION AREAS
The proposed irrigation areas have been evaluated and are located within the areas where
the hand auger borings have been performed (Figure 2). The areas evaluated are
predominantly Udorthents (highly disturbed — cut and fill material of the native soil). The
proposed areas evaluated are suitable based upon 15A NCAC 02U .0201 (Application
Submittal — Conjunctive Systems). Net useable acres (wetted acres) based upon 15A
NCAC 02U .0201 (Application Submittal — Conjunctive Systems) and .0701 (Setbacks)
consists of approximately 94.1 wetted acres.

4.0 AGRONOMIST EVALUATION
4.1 Soils Analysis
Soil samples are not required for the initial permitting based upon 15 NCAC 02U .0201(h)
requirements. No irrigation to food chain crops is being proposed so therefore, current soil
samples are not required. However, best management practices recommend that
representative soil samples should be collected from the proposed irrigation areas Soil
samples should be collected and submitted to a lab familiar with analyzing soils for
agronomic purposes such as the North Carolina Department of Agriculture — Soil Testing
Lab or Waypoint Analytical. Typically, soil samples will be analyzed for standard soil
fertility testing to include: % organic matter, estimated nitrogen release, phosphorus,
potassium, magnesium, calcium, pH, acidity, cation exchange capacity, percent base
saturation, copper, exchangeable sodium percentage / soluble salts, manganese, zinc, and
sodium with recommended fertilizer and lime additions necessary.
4.2 Irrigation Scheduling
The primary function for a RWCU system is to provide for beneficial reuse of the water and
available nutrients to the receiver site. The operator of a reclaimed water system must
ensure that all aspects of the system are properly operated and maintained. In order to
ensure the continued use of the receiver site, the soil and crop must be protected. Surface
waters and groundwater must also be protected to ensure the integrity of these resources.
The operator should also protect the site from poor site maintenance during inclement
weather in order to protect the soil structure.
Proper land application of reclaimed water involves the use of water management strategies
to ensure that the reclaimed water is applied at the proper time and in the correct amounts.
This involves achieving a balance between the following:
optimizing the timing of nutrient application to match specific vegetation type
uptake (during active growth cycles throughout the year),
applying reclaimed water at a rate and amount such that no direct surface runoff,
ponding, or deep percolation below the roots occurs (no greater than 0.5
inches/hour).
managing irrigation at a rate that is consistent with routine irrigation of golf courses
will be the responsibility of The Traditions Golf Club staff.
A responsible system operator must understand how reclaimed water should be managed
properly, have knowledge of the capacity of the system to store and apply wastewater when
appropriate, and be able to make prudent management decisions concerning when and how
much reclaimed water to apply.

.0701 (Setbacks) consists of approximately 94.1 wetted acres.
5.3 Instantaneous Rates
Based upon existing site conditions, proposed instantaneous rates should be in the 0.5
in/hr range.
5.4 Agronomist Evaluation
Currently, soil samples are not required for the initial permitting based upon 15 NCAC
02U .0201(h) requirements. No irrigation to food chain crops is being proposed so
therefore, current soil samples are not required.
5.5 Summary
WMSS has completed the requirements associated with a Soil Scientist/Agronomist
Evaluation for Reclaimed Water Systems — Conjunctive Utilization. The proposed
irrigation areas should be considered suitable for Reclaimed Water Systems —
Conjunctive Utilization based upon the requirements in 15A NCAC 02U .0201
(Application Submittal — Conjunctive Systems).

payable, except as may become due and payable as the result of the new
lease referred to below, and (iii) the Mortgagee shall have arranged for
the correction of any default hereunder by new Lessee under the new
lease referred to below, and (iv) this Lease shall not have been
terminated by reason of default pursuant to the terms hereof, Lessor

and discharge this Lease of record and remove Lessee from the Premises

become the Lessee under this Lease or the New Lease as hereinabove
provided for, then the Mortgagee shall, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease, have the right to transfer sell or assign its
interest in such lease without the consent of the Lessor, provided the
Mortgagee is not then in default under any of its obligations under this
Lease or the New Lease and any defaults under this Lease shall have been
cured. Upon such transfer, sale or assignment, and provided all rental
and all other sums payable hereunder and under the New Lease to the date
of such transfer, sale or assignment are paid by the Mortgagee, the
Mortgagee shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, be
released from all further liability under this Lease or the New Lease.

expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses)

RECITALS:
WHEREAS, on or about July 1, 1995, Lessor and Blythe, Blythe & Currie, a North Carolina
general partnership ("Original Lessee"), as lessee, entered into that certain Ground Lease Agreement (the
"Lease") relating to the lease of certain real property located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,
being more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached thereto and made a part thereof for all
purposes (the "Premises"): and
WHEREAS Romspen Tradition, LLC (Lessee Romspen) acquired all rights as Lessee through
foreclosure obtaining the leasehold interest on April 8, 2014.
WHEREAS, Lessee is the successor in interest in and to the Original Lessee's leasehold estate
(the "Leasehold Estate") under the Lease: and
WHEREAS, Lessor and lessee desire to amend the Lease in the manner hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
Section 4 of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows:
Construction of Improvements
G. A Capital Improvement Project List shall be prepared by the Lessee and approved by the Lessor. All
appropriation of Capital Reserve Funds will require approval of the Board of County Commissioners.
The Lessee shall indicate the description of each recommended improvement project, three (3) formal
quotes of the estimated improvement costs, if required, and the time frame for commencement and
completion of each improvement project.
In order to ensure the Lessee's participation in a Capital Improvement Project Program, the Lessor will
deposit a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total monthly rent payment in a Capital Reserve Fund.
The approved expenditures of monies so deposited and the interest earned thereon, if any, shall be based
on Lessor's and Lessee's approved Capital Improvement Project Plan.
Prior to commencement of construction, the Lessee shall obtain the Lessor's written approval of all plans,
specifications and construction cost estimates for the improvements to be constructed upon the Premises.
No modifications of said plans, specifications, or improvements, including landscaping, shall be made by
the Lessee without written approval by the Lessor. The Lessee agrees that the Lessor may have on the
site at any time during the construction improvement period Inspector(s), who shall have the right of
access to the Premises and the construction work.

The parties agree that any delay in the construction of Capital Improvements due to an act of God or other
event beyond the control of the Lessee shall extend the time in which said construction must be
completed by the length of time of such delay.
The parties agree that any approved Capital Improvement Projects that require golf course operations to
be suspended with in the Premises outlined in the Ground Lease Agreement, then the payments to be
made by the Lessee shall be abated during that time based on a percentage reduction in the annualized
rent payment based on the actual months that the course is closed, per the schedule attached, EXHIBIT A.

amount will be deducted from the annual rent, and the remaining balance will be paid in equal monthly
amounts over the remaining portion of the year that the course is open.
The monies deposited and accumulated in the Capital Reserve Fund shall at all times be administered by
the Lessor as trustee. At the termination of this Ground Lease Agreement, all unexpended funds shall be
retained by the Lessor.
It is expressly understood by the Lessor and the Lessee that any and all distribution from said fund shall
be used exclusively for Capital Improvement Projects within the Premises outlined in the Ground Lease
Agreement. It is further understood that the sole source of funds for capital improvement projects shall be
the Capital Reserve Fund. Neither the Lessor nor the Lessee shall be required to pay for any capital
improvement projects except from proceeds of said fund unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the
parties.
Upon review by consultation with Lessor's Risk Manager, the Lessee, at its sole expense, shall provide
such insurance coverage as the Lessor deems appropriate for contemplated construction projects under
this section.
2. Section 26. C of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows:
