ROLF BLIZZARD, III — CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER PINE ISLAND-CURRITUCK LLC 106 YORK WAY — SUITE 201 BERMUDA RUN, NORTH CAROLINA 27006 Subject: Permit No. WQ0004823 Pine Island-Currituck Club WWTP Reclaimed Water Generation, Dedicated Utilization, and High -Rate Infiltration System Currituck County Dear Mr. Blizzard, In response to your permit renewal request received on December 20, 2023, and subsequent additional information received on April 19, 2024, are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0004823 dated April 25, 2024, to Pine Island-Currituck LLC for the continued operation of the subject reclaimed water generation, dedicated utilization, and high -rate infiltration facilities. Mr. Robert Tankard, the Assistant Regional Supervisor for the Washington Regional Office (WaRO), completed a site visit on January 18, 2024. During his site visit, he collected a grab sample from the reclaimed water storage pond (RWSP), which generated laboratory results of 21.9 mg/L for Total Nitrate (as N). This exceeds the current groundwater standard of 10 mg/L for Total Nitrate (as N) pursuant to 15A NCAC 02L .0202. Because of the elevated Total Nitrate (as N) concentration in the RWSP, the WaRO has concerns that the existing reclaimed water generation system cannot adequately denitrify the wastewater influent and may result in the exceedance of groundwater standards beyond the property line. They have requested that the Permittee install a monitoring well between the RWSP boundary and the property line (on the review boundary) and begin sampling the RWSP for further data collection. Modifications to the subject permit are as follows: ➢ The Division has added Condition L1, which requires the Permittee to submit a report evaluating the nutrient transport potential from the facility's reclaimed water effluent to the groundwater via the infiltration sites for a minimum 24-month period. If the report shows the exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the review boundary for any of the infiltration sites, the Permittee shall include a corrective action plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02L .0106 detailing how onsite and offsite groundwater remediation will be achieved. ➢ The Division has added Conditions 1.2, L3, L4, and IV.12 for the installation of MW-18 and updated Attachment C accordingly. ➢ The Division has added PPI 003 to Attachment A for monthly nutrient monitoring in the RWSP.

The Permittee shall conduct 3 x Year monitoring in March, July, and November; 4 x Year monitoring (for MW-18) in March, May, July, and November, and Annual monitoring in November. 2. The Permittee shall measure the water levels prior to purging the wells. The Permittee shall measure the depth to water in each well from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The Permittee shall measure pH after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. 3. The Permittee shall survey the measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The Permittee shall survey the measuring points (top of casing) of all monitoring wells relative to a common datum. 4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) — Analyze by one or more of the following methods: a. Standard Method 6200 B-2011, PQL at 0.5 �tg/L or less b. Standard Method 6200 C-2011, PQL at 0.5 �tg/L or less c. SW-846 Method 8021 B, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less d. SW-846 Method 8260 D, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief Any method used shall meet the following qualifications: a. A Division -certified laboratory shall run any method used. b. The method used shall include all the constituents listed in Table 6200:I of Standard Methods. c. The method used shall provide a PQL of 0.5 �tg/L or less supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the Division's Laboratory Certification Branch. A Division -certified laboratory shall qualify (estimate) and report any constituents detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 gg/L. 5. If monitoring detects any volatile organic compounds (VOC), then the Permittee shall immediately contact the Washington Regional Office supervisor, telephone number (252) 946-6481, for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.

If monitoring detects TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L in any downgradient monitoring well, the Permittee shall conduct additional sampling and analysis to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration shall represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells are subject to additional sampling and analysis as described above. 7. The Permittee shall report monitoring well data on Compliance Monitoring Forms (GW-59s) consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in this attachment.
