Re: Request for Sewer System Permit Ownership Change
Pluris North Topsail Collection System, WQCS00275
Onslow County, North Carolina
DWR Permitting Staff
Please find enclosed a completed Sewer System Permit Name/Ownership Change Form
(PNOCF 01-16) and supporting documentation for the above-referenced collection system.
Attached to this request are copies of documents provided by the current owner (Pluris,
LLC): it appears the referenced permit expired in 2021, but other WQ permits that divide the
collection system into three basins do not have a specific expiration date. While ONWASA does
not have an issue with renewal of the original collection system permit at this time, we would also
ask consideration for simply including this collection system within ONWASA's existing Collection
System Permit (WQCS00249). A copy of the current version of that permit is also included.
Based on the schedule to obtain final approvals and secure the necessary funding, we
anticipate closing on the sale of the plant and associated collection system on November 9, 2023,
and assuming operation immediately. Please also note there will be no change in the waste
stream or collection system configuration with this change in ownership.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly at [phone] or dmohraonwasa.com if
you have any questions or concerns over this request.

RALEIGH
DOCKET NO. W-1282, SUB 20
BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION
In the Matter of
Application by Pluris, LLC, for Transfer of ) ORDER APPROVING TRANSFER
the Wastewater Treatment Plant and ) TO OWNER EXEMPT FROM
Wastewater Utility Systems Serving Various ) REGULATION, CANCELING
Subdivisions in Onslow County, North ) FRANCHISES, AND REQUIRING
Carolina, to the Onslow Water and Sewer ) CUSTOMER NOTICE
Authority, Owner Exempt from Regulation )
BY THE COMMISSION: On June 26, 2023, Pluris, LLC (Pluris or Applicant), filed
an application with the North Carolina Utilities Commission (Commission) for authority to
transfer its wastewater treatment plant and wastewater system assets providing
wastewater utility service in its service areas in Onslow County to the Onslow Water and
Sewer Authority (ONWASA). ONWASA is exempt from Commission regulation pursuant
to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 62-3(23)(d). Pluris currently provides wastewater utility service to
approximately 7,000 customers in its service areas. ONWASA provides water utility
service to this service area. Pursuant to the terms of the transfer, Applicant will transfer
all of Applicant's customers to ONWASA.
On July 24, 2023, the Commission issued its Order Requiring Customer Notice,
specifying that the matter be determined without public hearing if no significant protests
are received subsequent to customer notice.
On August 7, 2023, the Applicant filed the Certificate of Service, properly signed
and notarized, which stated that the Notice to Customers had been mailed with sufficient
postage or hand delivered to all affected customers. Two customer protests have been
received by the Public Staff — North Carolina Utilities Commission (Public Staff). One
customer opposed the rate increase, and one customer requested additional information
concerning the nature of a municipality serving as the utility provider.
Pluris Holdings, LLC, is the corporate parent of the Applicant as well as Pluris
Hampstead, LLC, which operates a wastewater utility system in Pender County, North
Carolina and other wastewater utility systems operating outside of North Carolina.
The Applicant, Pluris Webb Creek, LLC, Pluris Hampstead LLC, and other related
utility systems share certain corporate costs. The allocation of corporate costs will
continue after the transfer to ONWASA by Applicant.

The Applicant and the Public Staff filed a letter on August 21, 2023, providing the
terms of an agreement they have reached regarding allocation of shared costs in an effort
to avoid significant adverse impacts on rates charged to customers of Pluris Hampstead,
LLC, in the future as a result of the transfer to ONWASA.
This matter was presented at the Commission's Regular Staff Conference on
August 28, 2023. The Public Staff stated that it had reviewed the application and
recommends that the Commission approve the transfer of the wastewater utility system
from Pluris to ONWASA without public hearing since significant protests were not received
after customer notice.
Based upon the verified application, the recommendation of the Public Staff, and
the records of the Commission, the Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On August 9, 2023, the Applicant filed a fully executed System Purchase
Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets (Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement, ONWASA agreed to purchase the "System Assets" of the Applicant and
Pluris Webb Creek, LLC described in the Agreement for $37.5 million and $11 million,
respectively, a total of $48.5 million. Pluris' present net investment in the assets being
transferred is approximately $2.296 million.
2. The present rates for Pluris were approved in Docket Nos. W-1282, Sub 11,
and M-100, Sub 138, by the Commission's Order Approving Tariff Revision and Requiring
Customer Notice and have been in effect since January 1, 2017. Pluris' and ONWASA's
present monthly wastewater rates are as follows:
Pluris Monthly Wastewater Rates:
Residential Flat Rate $58.08
Non-residential Metered Rates:
Base Charge, zero usage $28.27
Usage Charge, per 1 ,000 gallons $ 9.02
ONWASA Monthly Residential & Non-residential Wastewater Rates:
Base Charge, zero usage
<1" meter $28.08
1" meter $70.39
11/2" meter $140.42
2" meter $224.68
3" meter $448.30
4" meter $699.28
Usage, per 1,000 gallons $7.97
2

l
•
3. Under ONWASA's current rates, the average monthly residential
wastewater bill for Pluris' customers would increase from $58.08 (flat rate) to $59.96,
(metered), based on estimated usage of 4,000 gallons per month. Existing Pluris
customers would not be required to pay a connection fee to ONWASA.
4. Under ONWASA's current rates, the average monthly metered non-
residential wastewater bill for Pluris' customers would decrease from $64.35 to $59.96,
based on estimated usage of 4,000 gallons per month for <1" meter size customer.
5. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, any Pluris' customer deposits will
be transferred to ONWASA.
6. The Pluris wastewater plant is an advanced state of the art membrane
bio-reactor treatment plant between four and ten years old. Since it has been in service,
the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has issued one Notice of
Violation to Pluris for a limit exceedance violation that occurred on May 31, 2021.
NOV-2021-LV-0596 was issued on August 11, 2021, when flow through the North Topsail
wastewater treatment plant exceeded the specified monthly average amount. No other
violations have been identified. ONWASA will continue operating the present system.
There are no major plant replacements planned for the immediate future.
7. The proposed transfer is in the public interest and should be approved
under N.C.G.S. §62-111.
8. In consideration of the circumstances presented, an exception to the
Commission's policy of assigning 100% of the gain on sale to water and wastewater utility
company shareholders is not warranted in this proceeding. Accordingly, the gain on sale
of the System shall be assigned 100% to Applicant's shareholders.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the foregoing and the recommendations of the Public Staff, the
Commission concludes that the transfer of ownership of the wastewater system from
Pluris to ONWASA should be approved, that the franchises should be canceled upon
receipt of notification that the transfer is complete, and customer notice should be
required.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED as follows:
1. That Pluris, LLC, is hereby authorized to transfer its wastewater treatment
plant and wastewater system assets serving its service area in Onslow County, North
Carolina to Onslow Water and Sewer Authority, which is exempt from Commission
regulation;
3

2. That Pluris, LLC shall provide written notification to the Commission within
ten days after Onslow Water and Sewer Authority assumes responsibility for providing
wastewater utility service in the affected service area;
3. That the Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide
wastewater service granted to Pluris, LLC in Docket No. W-1282, Subs 0, 1 , 3, 5, and 12
for its service areas in Onslow County, North Carolina is hereby canceled upon receipt of
written notification to the Commission that Onslow Water and Sewer Authority has
assumed responsibility for providing wastewater utility service in the affected service
area;
4. That the Commission approves the agreement entered into between the
Applicant and Public Staff on August 21, 2023, to protect Pluris Hampstead, LLC
customers from being significantly impacted by the transfer;
5. That 100% of the gain on sale of the wastewater treatment plant and
wastewater system assets owned by Pluris, LLC, that serve its service area in Onslow
County shall be assigned to Pluris, LLC's shareholders; and
6. That a copy of this Order shall be mailed with sufficient postage or hand
delivered by Pluris, LLC, to all its customers in the service area not later than 15 days
after the date of this Order and that Pluris, LLC, shall submit to the Commission the
attached Certificate of Service properly signed and notarized not later than 30 days after
the date of this Order.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Gallarda:
In accordance with your application received February 12th, 2013, and the additional information
received August 21St, 2013, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00275, dated
September 4, 2013, to Pluris, LLC for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater
collection system.
This permit shall be effective from September 1st, 2013 until August 31St, 2021 and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly
review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements
in this permit and any compliance schedules shown in bold.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly
installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection
with a separately owned sewer system. The cbliectiOn system is considered all gravity lines,
pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc.
and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport
wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and
operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems
tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or
maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant
to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the
collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.

A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary
Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined
considering the criteria listed in condition I(3)(a) and I(3)(b) of the permit and all other relevant
information available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the
permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the collection system must be
maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount
that reaches surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure
to use for reporting SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Resources (DWR) staff member(not email,
facsimile, or voicemail) at your regional DWR office during regular business hours
(Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call
[phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current
Division approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, please utilize form CS-SSO consisting of two parts.
Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always been necessary.
Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I(3)of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/cs/ssoreport.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be
issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to
submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWR staff will review the justification claim and determine if
enforcement action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill
is very comprehensive. Begin using this form immediately to report SSOs from the collection
system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant
until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five
days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the
receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made,
this permit shall be final and binding.

RALEIGH
SYSTEM-WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of
North Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Pluris, LLC
Onslow County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 30.4 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 42.74 miles of force main,
634 simplex pump stations that discharge to a pressure sewer and serve a single building and
20 simplex pump stations without permanent pump reliability that serve more than one building,
83 duplex pump stations, and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances required to
make a complete and operational wastewater collection system to serve the Pluris LLC and any
deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to the application received February 12th,
2013, and the additional information received August 21st, 2013, and in conformity with the
documents referenced therein and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from September 1St, 2013 until August 31st, 2021 and shall be
subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Pluris, LLC
Wastewater Treatment Facility (W00005849) prior to being disposed into the receiving
infiltration system. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or
modification of your treatment permit.
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and
operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any
contamination of groundwater. In the event that the wastewater collection system fails to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall
take immediate corrective actions, includin
g actions that may be required by the Division
of Water Resources (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement
sewer lines and/or equipment.

•
3. The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be
reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were
caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee
demonstrates through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
a. The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible
alternatives to the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and, infiltration, use of adequate
back-up equipment, or an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision
is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment, the
Permittee should have installed auxiliary or additional collection system
components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities, adequate back-up
equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b. The SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors
beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been
prevented by the exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management,
operation and maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system
facilities or components (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection
facilities to accommodate growth or adequately controlling and preventing
infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance; or installation of adequate back-
up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the
criteria of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with
the spill report required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be
considered for immunity from enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current
Division approved form, shall be used for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of
proof that the above criteria have been met.
4. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be
properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and
service laterals; to address flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action
as required by Condition 1(5).
5. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
that shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both
residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and implement
an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the
Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the
terms of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
6. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP
should address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP
should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement,
description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies
(over a reasonable period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the
CIP.

7. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are
allowable for portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the
wastewater treatment facility.
8. The Permittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station.
If one of the pumps in a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of
repairing or replacing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump
shall be installed as soon as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it
shall be replaced immediately.
9. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station
identifier and an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can
initiate or perform emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per
day, seven days per week can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number
shall be coupled with instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the
visual alarm illuminates, if the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
10. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A
NCAC 02T .305(h)(4).
11. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with
pump stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication
system) shall have both audible and visual high water alarms. The alarms shall be
weather-proof and placed in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the
construction of pump stations that included high water alarms in the description must
maintain the alarms even if ry (telemet simple i.e. notification of an alarm condition
p
initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
12. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion-resistant and
components in close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion-
resistant coating or encasement.
13.All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the
existing utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of
Condition (1)(2) of this permit.
14.The Permittee shall develop a plan to design, permit, and begin construction on pump
stations with multiple pumps (duplex pump station) for the simplex units that serve more
than two (2) residential units (designated as simplex units 14-16 in Attachment B).
These include the following simplex pump stations:
• The simplex unit that serves 704,705,706,707, 708, 709, 710 Trade Winds Dr
• The simplex unit station that serves 159,161, 163, 165, 167, 169 Topsail Rd
• The simplex unit that serves 2976, 2978, 2980, 2982 Island Dr and 200 Ernest Dr
The Permittee shall begin construction within 15 months of permit issuance. A
report on the progress of the design, permitting, and construction of these pump
stations is required within 7 months of permit issuance. A copy of this report

shall be provided to the Wilmington Regional Office and the PERCS unit to show "
progress.
15. The Permittee shall conduct an onsite survey of the 13 simplex units (designated as
simplex units 1-13 in Attachment B) that serve two (2) residential units to determine the
feasibility for interconnection.
The Permittee shall-determine the number of stations that share a connection
currently and determine the feasibility (given proximity of units) of installing
others within 12 months of permit issuance. A copy of this study shall be
provided to the Wilmington Regional Office and .the PERCS unit to show
compliance. Results of the study may require additional conditions or
modification of this permit.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. Upon classification of the collection system by the Water Pollution Control System
Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and
employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified
operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G

2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed,maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In the event that the wastewater
collection system fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions,the Permittee shall
take immediate corrective actions,including actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality
(Division),such as the construction of additional or replacement sewer lines and/or equipment.
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be reported to the Division as
stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional
events unless the Permittee dem
onstrates throughproperly
o rl
P Pe Y signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other
relevant evidence that:
a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions;there were no feasible alternatives to the SSO,such as
the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,retention of untreated wastewater,reduction of inflow and
infiltration,use of adequate back-up equipment,or an increase in the capacity of the system. This
provision is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment,the Permittee should have
installed auxiliary or additional collection system components,wastewater retention or treatment
facilities,adequate back-up equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration;or
b) The SSO was exceptional,unintentional,temporary and caused by factors beyond the reasonable control
of the Permittee;the SSO could not have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable control,such as

during the permitting process prior to construction. After-construction requests are discouraged by
the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to certification &
activation.
7. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting
documentation. This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to

12. NON-COMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION:
The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Quality staff member at the Wilmington
Regional Office, telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than
24 hours or on the next working day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence
of either of the following:
a. Any failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the system incapable of
adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass of any wastewater directly
to receiving waters from the station or sewer line.
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall NOT be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to
the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] or [phone].
Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first knowledge of
the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that the problem
does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) can also be
completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
13. Each pump station including simplex stations shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with the
telephone number and name of the owner/operator of the sewer system and instructions to call
the number in the event of alarm activation.
14. The Permittee shall maintain on hand for immediate installation a supply of spare, fully operational
pump units of each simplex type used in the sewer system. The number of pumps on hand shall not
be less than two (2) percent of the number of installed units or one unit, whichever is greater.
15. A minimum of 90 gallons of storage capacity above the pump-on activation level to meet the
greater of the Permittee response time for service or the longest non-catastrophic power outage of
the previous three years for any simplex pump station serving a single family residence. This is based
on a three-bedroom residence. The Permittee is advised that since many of these residences
actually serve as 4 and 5 bedroom residences during the resort season, any overflows due to
inadequate storage will be subject to enforcement action.
16. The Permittee shall provide for the pump station and force main the following items:
a. Pump on/off elevations located so that 2-8 pumping cycles may be achieved per hour in
the pump station,
b. An air relief valve located at all high points along the force main,
c. A screened vent for the wetwell,
d. Fillets located in the wetwell at the intersection of the flooring and sidewalls,
e. Three feet of cover (minimum) over the force main or the use of ferrous material where
three feet cannot be maintained,
f. Sufficient devices which will protect the pump station from vandals, and
g. Flood protection if the pump station is located below the 100-year flood elevation.
17. The projects in this permit indicated to be for construction only of the wastewater collection facilities
must have flow allocation provided prior to activation. Flow allocation requires a permit
modification application to be submitted (with the appropriate fee), a modified permit be issued,
and the Engineer's Certification is received and approved by the Division.

Dear Mr. Gallarda:
In accordance with your documentation received June 3, 2010, we are forwarding the corrected
Permit No. WQ0034485, dated June 4, 2010, to the Pluris, LLC for the construction and operation upon
certification of the subject wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from
the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. This cover letter shall be considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein
by reference.
This correction replaces the permit version dated January 15, 2010 and addresses existing commercial
connections that were granted a variance under the previous permit (WQ0017535) to operate with a
simplex pump station in lieu of a duplex station as required by State regulations. In addition, it clarifies
the allowance of residential connections via either gravity or pressure to existing sewer mains.
This permit describes a portion of the sewer system previously issued to North Topsail Utilities Incorporated
under a single, consolidated permit (WQ0017535) that will be voided upon issuance of the three new
permits that will ultimately be created. System changes are in the process of being designed for
implementation to increase the efficiency of the overall system that modeling has previously shown as
becoming degraded. In addition, the residential flow reduction rate of 80 gpd/bedroom with a
minimum of 160 cod that was granted on November 6, 2009 for systems on the mainland is being
applied where possible.
Please pay particular attention to Conditions 17 & 18 regarding connections to existing lines and existing
variances for identified commercial connections to utilize simplex pump station connections.
Please note the following standard conditions that are contained in this permit.
Condition 3: Requires that the wastewater collection facilities be properly operated and
maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0403 or any individual system-wide
collection system permit issued to the Permittee.
Condition 6: Requires that the system be properly certified upon completion of construction
and prior to being placed into operation.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Gallarda:
In accordance with your documentation received June 3, 2010, we are forwarding the corrected
Permit No. WQ0034486, dated June 4, 2010, to the Pluris, LLC for the construction and operation upon
certification of the subject wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from
the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. This cover letter shall be considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein
by reference.
This correction replaces the permit version dated January 15, 2010 and addresses existing commercial
connections that were granted a variance under the previous permit (WQ0017535) to operate with a
simplex pump station in lieu of a duplex station as required by State regulations. In addition, it clarifies
the allowance of residential connections via either gravity or pressure to existing sewer mains.
This permit describes a portion of the sewer system previously issued to North Topsail Utilities Incorporated
under a single, consolidated permit (WQ0017535) that will be voided upon issuance of the three new
permits that will ultimately be created. System changes are in the process of being designed for
implementation to increase the efficiency of the overall system that modeling has previously shown as
becoming degraded. In addition, the residential flow reduction rate of 80 qpd/bedroom with a
minimum of 160 gpd that was granted on November 6, 2009 for systems on the mainland is being
applied where possible.
Please pay particular attention to Conditions 17 regarding systems approved as "Construction Only"
and the requirement to request and receive a permit modification prior to certification and placement
into operation. In addition, pay attention to Conditions 18 & 19 regarding connections to existing lines
and existing variances for identified commercial connections to utilize simplex pump station
connections.
Please note the following standard conditions that are contained in this permit.
Condition 3: Requires that the wastewater collection facilities be properly operated and
maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0403 or any individual system-wide
collection system permit issued to the Permittee.

to receiving waters from the station or sewer line.
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall NOT be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to
the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number(800) 858-0368 or [phone].
Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first knowledge of
the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that the problem
does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) can also be
completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
13. Each pump station including simplex stations shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with the
telephone number and name of the owner/operator of the sewer system and instructions to call
the number in the event of alarm activation.
14. The Permittee shall maintain on hand for immediate installation a supply of spare, fully operational
pump units of each simplex type used in the sewer system. The number of pumps on hand shall not
be less than two (2) percent of the number of installed units or one unit, whichever is greater.
15. A minimum of 90 gallons of storage capacity above the pump-on activation level to meet the
greater of the Permittee response time for service or the longest non-catastrophic power outage of
the previous three years for any simplex pump station serving a single family residence. This is based
on a three-bedroom residence. The Permittee is advised that since many of these residences
actually serve as 4 and 5 bedroom residences during the resort season, any overflows due to
inadequate storage will be subject to enforcement action.
16. The Permittee shallprovide for the pumpstation and force main the followingitems:
a. Pump on/off elevations located so that 2-8 pumping cycles may be achieved per hour in
the pump station,
b. An air relief valvelocatedall at high points along the force main,
c. A screened vent for the wetwell,
d. Fillets located in the wetwell at the intersection of the flooring and sidewalls,
e. Three feet of cover (minimum) over the force main or the use of ferrous material where
three feet cannot be maintained,
f. Sufficient devices which will protect the pump station from vandals, and
g. Flood protection if the pump station is located below the 100-year flood elevation.
17. The projects in this permit indicated to be for construction only of the wastewater collection
facilities must have flow allocation provided prior to activation. Flow allocation requires a permit
modification application to be submitted (with the appropriate fee), a modified permit be issued,
and the Engineer's Certification is received and approved by the Division.
18. All new connections are allowed on existing sewer line only and may be any combination of
gravity or pressure sewer taps. New direct residential connections to existing systems may be either
be gravity or pressure, but simplex pressure connections shall be 25- 50 GPM simplex pump stations
with on-site audible and visual high water alarms.
7

A new, separate permit application is required if any of the following scenarios should arise:
• Any connections requiring additional collection lines.
• For new potential commercial, non-residential establishments projected to generate a flow
of 600 gallons per day or less as properly calculated using flow rates per NCAC 15A 2T .0114
and connecting to the pressure system may request a variance to the requirement to install
a duplex station prior to construction. Each variance request will be evaluated on its own
individual merit by providing supporting documentation for each location/connection and
may or may not be approved. Approved variances shall be noted in the individual permit
issued for the project/connection and variances that are denied will require the installation
of a duplex station.
19. Any commercial entity operating with a simplex pump station must immediately cease operations
upon activation of the high water alarm. No additional wastewater is to be generated until the
condition creating the alarm has been remedied.
The following locations may continue to utilize a simplex pump station in lieu of the required duplex
pump station as required under a variance issued with the January 6, 2006 permit issuance of
WQ0017535 that was voided by the issuance of this permit. Any change in the owner/occupant of
these establishments that causes the flow to exceed 600 GPD where a simplex station exists, then
the station shall be immediately upgraded to a duplex station meeting the current regulations and
the Division adopted minimum design criteria.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Mohr:
In accordance with your application received February 2, 2017, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00249, dated March 15, 2017, to the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority for the operation and
maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from March 15, 2017 until December 31, 2025 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please
pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special
conditions.
Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the changes are for clarification
purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was included based on proposed
rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ
lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion
when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the changes made is available at:

%20WQCS%20Template%2015.05.18%20(highlighted).pdf
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,force mains, low pressure 1
sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that
help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's
ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite
systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned
or maintained by the Permittee.The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide
a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of
permit issuance or afterward.

A discharge of wastewater to the environment from the Permittee's wastewater collection system prior to
reaching the wastewater treatment facilities is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (S50). The
evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined considering all relevant information
available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes
and regulations pertaining to the wastewater collection system must be maintained or appropriate
enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water(including through ditches, storm drains, etc.). Reporting requirements including the required
verbal report and written report to the appropriate regional office are referenced in Condition IV(2). Form
CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at:

public/Water%20Quality/Surface%20Water%20Protection/PERCS/WCS%20(SSO%20Documents)/CS-
SSO(2015).doc
A notice of deficiency(NOD), notice of violation (NOV), civil penalty,and/or a moratorium on the addition of
waste to the system may be issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office.
In order to submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Part II of form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWR staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement
action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this permit.
This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699-6714. Unless such demands are made,this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance, contact the appropriate regional office. If you need additional
information concerning this permit, please contact Steve Lewis at(919)807-6308.
