Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The Division has considered your Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) submitted with your application to renew. Your EAA presents present -value costs and rationale for alternative discharges to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW), land -based disposal, surface irrigation, reuse, and discharge to surface -waters of the State. DWR concurs that a discharge to surface waters is the best viable disposal alternative based on cost. Changes to the Permit Draft and Previous Permit — 1. Based on discussions (DWR/CWS) during the pre -draft review (June 22, 2018), DWR may reopen this permit to incorporate new data, as warranted [see Section A. (3.)]. Section A. (3.) details the schedules for permit limits and compliance deadlines as: a. compliance to Total Chloride limits begins on December 1, 2021. b. compliance to metals limits begins on December 1, 2022. 2. Based on reasonable potential to exceed respective water -quality standards, this renewal adds new permit limits for Total Chloride, Total Lead; Total Copper, and Total Zinc [see section A. (1.)]. 3. DWR has discontinued monitoring for Ammonia [NH3 as N] not used for disinfection] and discontinued Total Iron [no standard]; no longer parameters of concern. 4. Lastly, we have updated your facility description, Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet. We added Total Hardness monitoring required to calculate future compliance for metals in dissolved fraction.

The Permittee shall discharge no floating solids or foam visible in other than trace amounts. Page 3 of 7 Permit NCO086606 . A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL - MONITORING (QUARTERLY) [I 5A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.] The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 7 Permit NCO086606 A. (3.) PERMIT REOPENER - TO INCORPORATE NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS [G. S. 143-215.3 (a)(2)] The Division may re -open this permit to incorporate proposed revisions to treatment technologies and permit limits in accord with scheduled compliance deadlines for dissolved metals and Total Chlorides in accord with section A. (1.), footnotes 5 and 61 as: 5. Compliance to the Total Chlorides limit shall begin on December 1, 2021. 6. Compliance to metals limits shall begin on December 1, 2022. A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)] The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section ATTENTION: Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Page 5 of 7 Permit NC0086606 . If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable: • Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; • Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and • Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports. The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below). 2. Electronic Submissions In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission. Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: https://www.federalregister. gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharge- elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above. 3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic Page 6of7 Permit NC0086606 reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective. Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the following web page: http://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr 4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II, Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part 1I, Section B. (I 1.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes. For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page: http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr Certification.

For renewal: Updated effluent page in accordance with Ion -Exchange (IE) WTP technology guidelines (2009); updated permit template, facility location, facility description, and added 8 Digit HUC to the map; Added parameter monitoring and limits based on zero flow conditions (IWC=100%) using a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The maximum monthly -average flow rate for treated wastewater effluent occurred during Jun2016 at 0.0165 MGD; this figure was used in the RPA analysis, per WTP Strategy 2009. The Permittee reported a maximum waste effluent flow of 0.200 MGD (Nov2016) assumed a reporting error [outlier not considered]. Page I 1 1. Flow Monitoring — Reviewed flow data (by year) noting the monitoring frequency at 2/monthly; footnote edited to require both flow rate and flow duration, log to be kept onsite for DWR review. Based on a Permittee-corrected BIMS database, DWR has confirmed that this facility's average monthly wasteflow is less than 30,000 gpd. Therefore, a composite sampler is not required. 2. Toxicity- The WTP failed 18 of 18 WET tests during the past 4 years. 3. Compliance — BIMs records indicates a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for low pH in Feb2017, and an NOV for failure to monitor Chloride (Jun2015. 4. CWS responded to previous Special Condition A. (3.) by providing a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation (DAE) with its application to renew. The Division concurs that a surface -water discharge is the best discharge alternative based on cost, however effluent conditions have changed for this renewal may affect future costs analyses (see Effluent Data Concerns and RPA). Table 2 — Wastewater Database (Jan2014 - Aug2018) - Compared to SWQ Standards Parameter Max Reported Average Reported Water Supply (WS) Standard Sample Count (n) Flow (MGD) 0.200 0.0044 Not limited 467 Total Chloride 13,000 mg/L 4,476 mg/L 250 mg/L 57 Total Copper 50 µg/L 17.1 µg/L 7.88 µg/L 19 Total Lead 500 µg/L 14.1 µg/L 25 µg/L 55 Total Manganese 4,100 µg/L 528 µg/L 200 µg/L 55 Salinity 103.2 ppth (?) 6.18 ppth 55 TDS 24,000 mg/L 8,143 mg/L 250 mg/L 110 TSS 31 mg/L 6.37 mg/L 110 Total Zinc 820 mg/L 118.7 µg/L 50 µg/L 20 Effluent Data Concerns — Data suggest that the current treatment system is not adequate to meet NC Surface Water Quality Standards for metals, for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and for Total Chlorides considering a discharge under "zero -flow receiving -stream conditions to Class WS-IV; B; CA [Water Supply; swimmable; habitat -critical area]. The Permittee is admonished to consider applying a potable -water treatment technology other than sodium ion exchange (IE). Alternative: consider extending discharge into the lake and employing an effluent diffuser. After modeling, this pre -approved diffuser may allow dilution credit to be applied to parameter limits. Self -monitoring databases contained reporting errors [now corrected by the Permittee for renewal]. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs/eDMRs) reported multiple parameters of concern (POCs) with confused, inconsistent units of measure. In addition, the Permittee reported parameters as "not detected" by submitting "0" instead of reporting the required laboratory minimum detection levels (MDLs). These are permit violations. Page 12 5. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) — Per WTP permitting guidance, Total Iron is no longer considered a POC, and monitoring is hereby discontinued. However, data for copper, zinc, lead, chloride, manganese, Chloride and TDS continue to show reasonable potential to exceed their respective surface water -quality standards. Considering a discharge under zero -flow conditions [7Q10/30Q2 = 0.0 cfs], each metal requires a permit limit equal to its standard. In addition, future soluble -fraction metals calculations require Total Hardness monitoring of the effluent [upstream also recommended, but not possible under zero -flow receiving -stream conditions]. 6. Revised Treatment Required — Based on DWR/CWS discussions during pre -draft review, June 22, 2018, permit Special Condition A. (3.) details permit limits and compliance deadlines as: • compliance to metals limits begins on -or -before the expiration date of this permit. • compliance to Total Chloride limits begins on -or -before September 30, 2021.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge - specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case - specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting GWdance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. To establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. Page 15 If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) = (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) x (s7Q10 cfs *Avg Upstream Hardness mg(L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = 1 Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [ss(I+a)] [10-6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site - specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = 07O10 + Ow) (Cwgs) — (s7O10) (Cb) Qom, Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10) Page 16 s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality - Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.

Purpose of Study Carolina Water Service Inc. of North Carolina owns and operates a public water supply and distribution system serving the neighborhoods of The Pointe, The Harbor and the Farms, located in Iredell County, North Carolina (reference Figure 1 —Vicinity Map). The system currently serves 1,544 connections, includes 34 deep wells, two elevated storage tanks, and water treatment facilities. The overall water system, including the wells and elevated storage tanks, is shown on Figure 2. Also highlighted on Figure 2 are the location and connected wells to three water treatment facilities containing water softening equipment. 1.02. Background and Scope of Report Each of the three water softening treatment facilities generates a backwash discharge on the well sites shown on Figure 2 where the facilities are located. Each of these backwash discharges are generating under NPDES permits issued on October 1, 2013. Each of these permits is included in Appendix A, and is summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1 Well System Discharge Permits Water System Monthly Average Permit No. Designation Treatment Backwash Discharge NC 00 84 565 Harbour Wells 0.056 MGD 0.0091 MGD 1 + 2 WTP NC 00 86 592 The Point Well 0.094 MGD 0.009 MGD No. 1 WTP NC 00 86 606 The Harbour Well 0.364 MGD 0.019 MGD H4 WTP Each of the permits expires at Midnight on March 31, 2018. As a result of concerns as to violation of North Carolina Water Quality Standards from these discharges, each of the permits requires a "Discharge Alternatives Evaluation." This evaluation is to be completed by October 2, 2017. This evaluation as stated in each permit is to cover three to four options as detailed below: Discharge Alternatives Evaluation In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives: Connect Discharge to WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be acquired. 5 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS 2. Obtain a Non -Discharged Permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non - discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells). 3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and provide cost estimates. 4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved. 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce noncompliant wastewaters. For example, installing a recycled iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge. 6. Discharge to Larger Stream: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger receiving stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased dilution. 7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality Standards. The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This document can be found at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes.permits. The scope and purpose of this Preliminary Engineering Report is to provide the details and results of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation in accordance with the NPDES Permits. As the treatment facilities are components of the overall water system and as such the water treatment is required in total to meet the system requirements, this study has been combined to consider all of the three treatment facilities collectively and is therefore intended to comply with the conditions in all three permits. 6 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Section II — Discharge of Existing Facilities 2.01 Review of Existing Facilities A site plan and building/softener treatment facilities plan for each of the three discharges are provided in Appendices B, C and D respectively. As can be seen from each of these site plans, the point of discharge for the softener backwash after passing through settling tanks is on each well site, and each well site is slightly over one acre in size. This represents significant constraint in terms of available land area for potential alternatives. Each well site is relatively surrounded by existing residential development. It should be noted that there is a significant difference in the scale of the water treatment system and softener backwash between the lowest and highest discharges. In 2013 a study was completed to assess the viability of an interconnection from the Town of Mooresville system to The Point Water System (see Appendix E — WSP Report). This interconnect was completed as depicted in the WSP Report and was subject to an executed agreement with the Town (reference Appendix F). This agreement set a limit on the amount of water that could be purchased by CWS at 656,000 GPD. As shown in Appendix G, the total system yield of all 34 producing wells is 1517.5 GPM and the yield of the wells contributing to the three softener installations is 724.5 GPM. Thus, a replacement of the yield from the yield from those wells contributing to the softener operations would be approximately 522,000 GPD. (Note: wells must supply the required yield for the number of connections in a 12 hour pumping time.) This indicates the current agreement with the Town would be able to replace the delivered capacity of 19 wells contributing to the softener systems. However, water use records from CWS indicate peak demands have reached approximately 1.5 MGD, thus additional water from Mooresville beyond the 656,000 GPD agreement would be required to meet demands. There are no community nor public sewer within The Point/Harbor/Farms subdivisions served by this water system — all lots are served by on -site septic. 2.02 Selection of Alternatives for Analysis The following paragraphs address the potential alternatives identified in the NPDES permits and identify the three alternatives deemed viable for analysis. Connect Discharge to a WWTP There is no public or private central sewage collective system within The Point/Harbor/Farms developments. The Point Golf Club is served by a private, small package waste treatment plant (25,000 GPD) which does not represent a viable option for treating the softener backwash as it is a land application disposal and salinity concentration/build-up would be a concern. 7 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The Town of Mooresville has a pump station serving a school to the north of the site as shown on Figure 3. Initial contact with the Town indicated reluctance in affording service, however this option has been analyzed given the potential for negotiating service due to the relative small volume of the softener backwash (approximately 37,000 gallons/month). 2. Obtain a Non -Discharge Permit This alternative has been discounted due to the lack of available land and the potential toxicity to soils in a surface of sub -surface disposal system. 3. Install Wastewater Treatment Treatment of the softener backwash to remove the salt concentration is limited to very expensive options such as reverse osmosis or desalinization, which in the end also results in a by-product which must be disposed of such as an even more concentrated brine solution. Additional treatment in the form of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) has been evaluated to further reduce the brine stream to a solids for disposal based on crystallization technology. 4. Use Alternative Water Source CWS already has a correction to the Mooresville system and an agreement allowing purchase of up to 656,000 GPD. Based on a water modeling analysis of the existing 8" connection, water could be delivered at required flow and pressure (based upon the fire flow tests — referenced in Appendix H). As noted previously, water use has reached 1.5 MGD in previous years, so an alternative to replace the 19 softener wells with Town of Mooresville supply would need to increase the Mooresville agreement to approximately 1.0 MGD. To deliver this supply, it was determined from hydraulic modeling that the existing 8" main would need to be increased to 12". 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method Utilization of a polyphosphate sequestering agent to "capture" the calcium ions, while an option, has been rejected by CWS as the method has less than acceptable performance for delivery of water without scale forming properties. A review of several "no salt" treatment methods identified an alternative "water conditioning" treatment unit manufactured by Morrill Industries called "Ecoflow Water Conditioner." The unit utilizes ceramic media to stabilize the scale forming properties (see Appendix J). While the alternatives to water softening are purported to fully neutralize the potential scaling problems resulting from hard water, CWS previous experience indicates the results are not typically consistent and may still result in consumer R1 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS complaints. For the purpose of this evaluation, this alternative was not further evaluated. 6. Discharge to Larger Stream The water system, wells and treatment facilities are located on the Brawley School Road Peninsula and are completely surrounded by Lake Norman, so larger streams are not available. 7. Combination of Alternatives No combination of alternatives were identified meriting analysis. 9 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Section III — Analysis of Alternatives 3.01 Selection of Alternatives for Analysis Connection to Mooresville System As shown on Figure 3, the three installations of water softening facilities are all located within proximity of Brawley School Road. This alternative will require installation of pumps at each softener installation and pump lines extended to Brawley School Road to join a common pump line as depicted on Figure 3. This common line would then extend along Brawley School Road to McKendree Road, then to an easement controlled by CWS, and then to Forest Lake School to access the Town's pump station as shown on Figure 3. Submersible pumps would be installed at each well location in existing tankage to take advantage of tank volume for pump cycling. As presented in Appendix K, the estimated Capital and Annualized Operational Maintenance Cost for this alternative is $18,809,640.00. Note that for the purpose of this analysis no costs for demolition or removal of existing facilities at the 19 wells or their abandonment have been included. 3.02 Installed Wastewater Treatment at Harbour Well #4 For the purposes of this analysis the alternative for onsite treatment of the brine softener backwash was based upon the removal of the salinity to produce a dried salt cake for reuse or offsite disposal and continued discharge of treated effluent allowing for elimination of any chronic toxicity in the effluent stream. The proposed brine backwash treatment process would consist of pre -filtration, multi- stage evaporation, and crystallization to essentially produce a distilled water effluent and dry salt solids. The combined discharge in all three NPDES permits is 0.02 MGD Monthly Average Flow or approximately 700 GPD. As the amount of brine backwash is dependent upon the volume of water being softened, thus the daily backwash volume will vary, the design basis was to continue to use the existing onsite septic tanks as pump storage to feed the waste treatment system. The treatment system has been selected on the basis of the monthly average brine discharge as currently permitted for each well softener installation. A schematic of the treatment system is presented in Appendix L and Figure 4 depicts the location of the treatment systems at each well. The site plans and existing buildings at each well are included in Appendix M. For the purposes of this evaluation, it is assumed that the WTP unit would be installed in a new building at each of the three well sites, and that a brine backwash feed pump would be installed in the existing septic tank now receiving the brine backwash before discharge. There are two septic tanks at each of the three wells. Brine backwash pump 10 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS would be installed in the first septic tank and treated effluent returned to the second tank for continual discharge. An example of this arrangement is depicted on Figure 5. The results of the cost analysis presented in Appendix N for this alternative indicates a Total Capital and Operations and Maintenance Cost of $2,316,015.00. 3.03 Use Alternative Water Source While an amendment to the CWS agreement with the Town of Mooresville has not been executed, the indication from contact with Town staff suggests this is a possible alternative. Therefore an analysis was conducted to deliver a volume of water equal to the capacity of the 19 wells which would be abandoned under this alternative at a delivery pressure sufficient to fill the existing elevated storage tanks. A hydraulic model of the existing 8" connection was performed and indicated the full 724.5 GPM could not be delivered at the required pressure without upsizing the connection to 12". Thus this alternative includes upsizing this line as depicted on Figure 6, a distance of 4800 LF. This upsizing (line replacement) would also include installation of new 12" meter and backflow preventer with increased tap size on the Town's water main. The rate and fee schedule for the Town is presented in Appendix O. For the purpose of this analysis the water purchased is assumed to be 1,044,000 GPD. 11 PER DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Section IV — Analysis Results and Recommendations 4.01 Analysis Results The Discharge Alternatives Evaluation of seven alternatives identified three viable options for analysis. These options included elimination of discharge and pumping to the Town of Mooresville, onsite softener backwash treatment and abandonment of wells and softeners with replaced water from the Town of Mooresville. The results of this analysis indicate very similar costs for either connection to the Mooresville sewer system or onsite treatment. In view of the fact that Town staff have indicated that there would likely be a negative response to a request for treating the softener brine backwash, the option to install onsite treatment appears to be the most viable alternative. 4.02 Recommendations Based upon the results of this evaluation it is recommended that this PER be submitted to NCDEQ for review in support of renewal of the NPDES permits and to proceed with design of the onsite treatment facilities and regiment for an Authorization to Construct the brine backwash treatment facilities. 12 VA FqCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Resources Water Quality Programs Pat McCrory Thomas A.

Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Thank you for your expedited response to my email dated August 12, 2013. Regarding your two comments made on the final permit the Division offers the following responses. NPDES understands that a discharge from Ion Exchange backwash is not always predictable. As a result, many Ion Exchange WTPs choose to initiate a manual backwash and proceed to collect aliquot samples at spaced intervals to obtain a representative sample. Some Ion Exchange WTPs have chosen to install composite samplers to decrease the operator responsibilities but this can be costly. NPDES appreciates your efforts to schedule sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing or to manually place the softeners into backwash mode in order to collect a sample. The Division does find this practice to be acceptable. Note that a representative sample is considered to be the wastewater being discharged and not the static wastewater in the holding tank. Regarding your comment on turbidity sampling, please note that in a letter dated Feb. 25, 2009 from EPA Region 1V the state is obligated to put turbidity monitoring in the NPDES permit.

It is recommended that the test be performed using a turbidity meter. All the changes made in this permit renewal as compared to the current permit are as follows: • "The receiving waterbody is not listed as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and the maximum discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not show significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in a log book and available for inspection. • Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 213.0500. { • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field - certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. . • Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. It is anticipated, that discharge alternatives assessed as part of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation, will likely eliminate toxicity failures in the effluent as well. • Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for lead, manganese, chloride, and total dissolved solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for all these parameters.

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Page 3 of 5 Permit NCO086592 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIT. MONITORING (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina'Division of Water Resources Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 5 . , I Permit NCO086592 A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives: 1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be acquired. 2. Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells). 3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and provide estimated costs. 4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City, or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved. 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce noncompliant wastewaters. For example, installing a recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge. 6. Discharge to a Larger stream: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger receiving stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased dilution. 7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality Standards. The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This Document can be found at: httg:l f ttortal.ncdenr.oE&Iweb/w s2Ml2s/npdesLgermits. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. If one or two -discharge alternatives are available to the Permittee, please identify the preferred alternative and an estimated timeline for implementation. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division at the address listed below four years after the effective date of this permit (by October 2, 2017).

There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Page 3 of 5 Permit NC0084565 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAEL MONITORING (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end, of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR & all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 5 Permit NCO084565 A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives: 1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be ' acquired. 2. Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells). 3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and provide estimated costs. 4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City, or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved. 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce noncompliant wastewaters. For example, installing a recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge. 6. Discharge to a Larger stream: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger receiving stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased dilution. 7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality Standards. The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This Document can be found at: http:j 1portal.ncdenr.ora/web /wg / swp/ ps /nodes /permits. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. -If one or two discharge alternatives are available to the Permittee, please identify the preferred alternative and an estin-lated timeline for implementation. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division at the address listed below four years after the effective date of this permit (by October 2, 2017).

Iredeli County Facility Classification PC-1 Dear Mr. Konsul: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Thank you for your expedited response to my email dated August 12, 2013. Regarding your two comments made on the final permit the Division offers the following responses. NPDES, understands that a discharge from Ion Exchange backwash is not always predictable. As a result, many Ion Exchange WTPs choose to initiate a manual backwash and proceed to collect aliquot samples at spaced intervals to obtain a representative sample. Some Ion Exchange WTPs have chosen to install composite samplers to decrease the operator responsibilities but this can be costly. ,NPDES appreciates your efforts to schedule sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing or to manually place the softeners into backwash mode in order to collect a sample. The Division does find this practice to be acceptable. Note that a representative sample is considered to be the wastewater being discharged and not the static wastewater in the holding tank. Regarding your comment on turbidity sampling, please note that in a letter dated Feb. 25, 2009 from EPA Region IV the state is obligated to put turbidity monitoring in the NPDES permit. This also 1617 Mal Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

It is recommended that the test be performed using a turbidity meter. All the changes made in this permit renewal as compared to the current permit are as follows: • The receiving waterbody is not listed as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and the maximum discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not show significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in a log book and available for inspection. • Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 213.0500. • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field - certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. . • Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. It is anticipated, that discharge alternatives assessed as part of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation, will likely eliminate toxicity. failures in the effluent as well. • Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for lead, manganese, chloride, and total dissolved solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for all these parameters.

This assessment is outlined in a special condition in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation findings are to be submitted to the Division within four years of the effective date of this permit and the findings will be used in drafting the next permit renewal. The Division recognizes that determining both how to comply Page 3 of 3 with WQS's and provide residents with safe, acceptable and clean drinking water is a complex issue. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. • The wording in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation was modified as compared to the wording in the email sent on August 12, 2013. Changes were requested in an effort to more clearly state the objective of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. Please review it carefully. • Section A. (4.) Alternatives Evaluation Re -opener was added to the permit to identify to the Permittee that the Division may re -open this permit to include the findings from the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation in the form of a compliance schedule. • The Supplement to Cover was corrected as requested. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. 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, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit.

To CWSNC's knowledge, there are no claims, suits, or actions pending or judgments entered which, if successful, would create an encumbrance upon its revenues which would have a priority over Mooresville's entitlement to payment pursuant to the terms of this agreement or which otherwise would have a material adverse effect on the ability of either CWSNC or Mooresville to perform their obligations hereunder. b. No litigation is pending or threatened against CWSNC which would impair its ability to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement. c. No litigation is pending or threatened against Mooresville which would impair its ability to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM a. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date that CWSNC begins to receive water from Town (the "Effective Date") and unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, shall expire at midnight on the same date in the year 2033. The provisions of this Agreement may thereafter be extended by written notice from CWSNC to the Town of Mooresville for an additional five (5) year term under the same terms and conditions as contained herein unless at least one- hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, even if written notice from CWSNC has already been given, Town gives written notice to CWSNC that Town does not desire to extend such Agreement. 4. PURCHASE OF WATER SERVICES a. Mooresville does hereby grant, bargain, sell, convey, and agree to provide water to CWSNC and CWSNC agrees to purchase such water from Mooresville in a minimum amount 30,000 gallons per day and a maximum amount not to exceed 656,000 gallons per day. It is understood and agreed that should CWSNC desire to purchase on any given day less than 30,000 gallons of water, CWSNC will pay the costs of 30,000 gallons of water for that day even if the amount of gallons obtained on such day is less than 30,000 gallons. Water will be charged in 1,000 gallon increments. CWSNC agrees that it is CWSNC's sole responsibility to manage and control the capacity purchased under this agreement. b. CWSNC agrees to pay any capacity fees as established by Town based on an eight inch (81 meter in order for CWSNC to obtain such water with such fees to be based on the-Town's then current system development and availability fees. c. In exchange for such water, CWSNC agrees to pay Mooresville the adopted utility bulk rate at the time that CWSNC connects to Mooresville and begins obtaining water from Mooresville. The flow shall be the flow as measured by a meter, or meters, installed at a location, or locations, as agreed upon by both and Mooresville. Such rate shall be subject to review and adjustment thereafter on an annual basis, PROVIDED, that at no time shall CWSNC pay a rate higher than the rate paid by any other commercial reseller of water services provided by the Town of Mooresville pursuant to an agreement entered into between Mooresville and any other party on or after the date of this Agreement. 2 d. No increase in the rate shall be charged to CWSNC unless it is also charged to other commercial resellers of water services provided by the Town of Mooresville pursuant to an agreement entered into between Mooresville and any other party and no increase shall be greater than the percentage increase charged to other commercial resellers of water services. Any percentage increase in the rate charged to CWSNC shall not be greater than the percentage increase in the rate charged to customers inside the corporate limits of the Town of Mooresville. e. CWSNC further agrees that it will at all times charge its water consumers the rates as approved by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (the "Commission"). The Town will not oppose efforts by CWSNC to obtain approval from the Commission for pass -through of rates and fees charged by the Town. f. CWSNC shall provide and install at its own cost and expense, metering devices with shutoff devices, backflow prevention assemblies, and other such devices as Mooresville determines is necessary for the purpose of measuring the quantity of water supplied pursuant to this agreement. Said metering device shall not exceed eight (8) inches in size unless a larger meter is required because of increased demand or usage. Mooresville will be the sole owner of any meter once installed and ready for use. Mooresville will secure the necessary calibration of any such meters at the time of installation and as deemed necessary by Mooresville. Upon the specific request of CWSNC, Mooresville will schedule certification of the metering device(s) by a certified testing and calibration firm and will give such advance notification as is reasonable under the circumstances. In the event such certification indicates that the meter is not accurate within AWWA standards for the metering device installed, Mooresville will pay for the certification. In the event the metering device is determined to be accurate within the AWWA established standards then CWSNC shall pay for the certification g. Any meters installed that are subject to this Agreement shall be installed at a location suitable to Mooresville. CWSNC agrees to allow such meters to be installed on its property or if necessary, to acquire any agreements acceptable to Town for their installation on property not owned or controlled by CWSNC. h. It is further agreed that if, at any time, a meter shall fail to correctly register the quantity of water flowing through such meter, such amounts shall be determined by taking the average of the twelve readings immediately preceding the failure of such meter. Should the failure occur within the first twelve months of this agreement, and the service has less than twelve readings, such average may be based on the largest possible number less than twelve excluding any reading that is a result of such average. i. Nothing in this agreement shall imply or create any ownership rights or responsibilities by CWSNC in any water system or water treatment facilities, but conveys only the purchase of water at the rates established herein,' or as the same may be hereafter modified pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Mooresville shall at all times remain the Owner and Operator of the Mooresville Treatment Plants and Water Distribution System. j. It is agreed that all policies concerning payment and disconnection from service for nonpayment of water shall apply to CWSNC as it does for any other commercial or noncommercial customer of Mooresville. 5. ADDITIONS, EXTENSIONS OR CONNECTIONS TO THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM a. It is understood that the Town of Mooresville may have the statutory right to annex the area, or parts thereof, that are currently serviced by CWSNC or even to customers 3 being served by CWSNC and that residents in such area may request water services from Town. To this end, and should such annexation occur or request for services be granted, Town may provide such water services without penalty or payment to CWSNC and such provision of services will not be considered a material breach of this agreement. b. It is understood and agreed that CWSNC is solely responsible for its lines, pipes, meters, or any equipment or materials that are located on its side of the water meter as set out above. c. If at any time during the term of this agreement insufficient capacity exists in the Mooresville Plant to serve CWSNC's customers above that minimum capacity defined in Section 4a. of this agreement, then the maximum capacity as defined in Section 4a shall be reduced proportionality as such capacity is reduced in the Mooresville Plant. 6. APPLICATION OF POLICIES a. It is agreed by CWSNC that it will be subject to all Town of Mooresville policies, ordinances, directives, statutes, regulations, or guidelines related to conservation of water. b. Pursuant to that Order dated May 23, 2008, by the Commission regarding Docket Numbers W 100, SUB 46 and WR 100, SUB 6, CWSNC agrees that it is, and will be, subject to the same water restrictions that may be imposed by the Town pursuant to any ordinances, rules, regulations, guidelines, or other criteria that may be implemented by the Town concerning nonessential water usage restrictions. C. It is agreed by CWSNC that any penalties levied for violation of any policies, ordinances, directives, statutes, regulations, or guidelines shall be the sole responsibility of CWSNC. d. Without waiving the minimum amount of fees to be paid by CWSNC under Section 4.a. herein, it is understood and therefore agreed that should at any time CWSNC close the valve (or, in the alternative, the tap) connecting it to the Town's water system and it is no longer receiving any amount of water from Town but instead is making use of its own water resources, this Section 6 shall not apply. 7. CAPACITY TO SERVE In the event that an emergency situation prevents Town from having an adequate supply of water necessary for Town to meet its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the Town shall immediately give CWSNC notice of such emergency. Under such circumstances, Town shall be relieved from supplying water under this Agreement and CWSNC shall be relieved from making the minimum payment under Section 4a until such time as CWSNC begins to receive water under the terms of this Agreement. And, it is further agreed that in the event of such disruption of service, CWSNC agrees to hold Town harmless from any and all damages or harms resulting from such disruption of service except damages or harms arising from the Town's gross negligence or intentional misconduct. 8. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF CWSNC CWSNC shall, at its own cost and expense, construct, or cause to be constructed the necessary water distribution system, including, but not limited to waterlines, water booster pump stations, and storage facilities, necessary to transport water to its customers from the existing Mooresville water distribution system.

Sports Parks Equine Vehicle Wash Installation Warranty W 7 The Ecoflow is a Catalytic Water Conditioner, is a new innovation in water conditioning. The Ecoflow Water Conditioner is, as the name suggests, a "water conditioner", not a "softener" nor a "filter". The foundation of the Ecoflow is the scale controlling media, made from ceramic -metallic materials. Within the Ecoflow a three phase conditioning process is achieved: 1. Polarization: In the first stage, water passes into the unit through flow modulators that polarize the water stream along with the materials contained within it. This action formats the water so that the following process can impact the water stream more completely. Documentation 2. Oxidation Reduction (Redox Process): The propensity and ability for water to scale and harden through oxidation is reduced as water flows over the Nano -Technology developed Ceramic Media that contains a matrix of minerals and rare earth elements. 3. Ionization: As the water stream passes over the Ceramic Media, the electron fields of the materials within the water stream overlap with the electron fields of the materials contained within the Ceramic Media. The exchange of ions is encouraged and enhanced. The turbulent water flow through these materials creates a self -generating Piezo-Static-Electric charge that aids the entire process. The Ecoflow Water Conditioner has many positive Benefits in various industries: • Reduce and Prevent Scale Formation. • Inhibit Hard Water Corrosion. • Increases Soil Permeability. • Reduction in Chloride Levels in soil growth layers • Reduction in Water Usage. • Extends the Lifespan on all Water Related Equipment e.g., Cooling Towers, Heating and Hot Water Systems, Water Pumping and Supply Systems etc. The Ecoflow Water Conditioner can reduce, eliminate or improve water related problems that can impact homes, farms and businesses without using salts, chemicals, electricity and maintenance. The Ecoflow Water Conditioner comes with a 5 Year Limited Warranty against Defects in Materials and Craftsmanship when used under normal conditions which intended, offers peace of mind on your investment into your personal property or business. The Ecoflow has a wide range of Applications for many Industries which can benefit from improved water conditioning such as but not limited to the following examples:' http://www.ecoflow.co/index.php?s=26 9/29/2017 Overview of The Ecoflow Water Conditioner - No Salt Water Conditioner Page 2 of 2 COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE • Airports Aquacultures • Beverage Makers Dairy/Livestock Farming • Canneries Farm Crops • Car Wash Facilities Greenhouses • Convalescent Facilities Nurseries • Fire Departments Poultry Farming • Hospitals • Police Stations HOUSING • Prisons • Retirement/Rest Homes Apartment Units • Schools Condos • Swimming Pools Duplexes • Single Family Homes IS US Water Hardness Man.pdf ID National Geographic - Virtual Water.pdf HOTELS/RESORTS • Amusement/Theme Parks • Casinos • • Hotels FOOD • Bakeries • Fast Food Restaurants • Gourmet Restaurants SPORT FIELDS • Baseball Fields • Football/Soccer Fields • Golf Courses/Ranges • Horse Race Tracks Please contact EcoFow Water Conditioning Systems to learn more and to locate your local dealer for a free quote and an evaluation. * Phone: 1 (209) 838 - 2550 CONTACT' US for infonnation on the I *cotlow Residential and Industrial Water Conditioner, Ecoflow Water Conditioner Water Conditioner for Commercial and Industrial Applications Watcr Conditioner Installations Residential Water Conditioner Salt Free Environmental IN, Friendly Water Conditioner for Farms and Agriculture Morrill Industries - irrigation equipment manufacturer Water Conditioner for Dairy Operations Ecoflow FAO on Water Conditioner web design by cvmaxmedia - site index http://www.ecoflow.co/index.php?s=26 9/29/2017 Appendix K Preliminary Cost Estimates Connection to Mooresville Sewer System (Reference Figure 3) A.

Reeder John E. Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary September 10, 2013 Mr. Tony Konsul Carolina Water Services, Incorporated of NC P.O. Box 240908 Charlotte, North Carolina 28224 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO086606 The Harbour — Wells #4 WTP Iredell County Facility Classification PC-1 Dear Mr. Konsul: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Thank you for your expedited response to my email dated August 12, 2013. Regarding your two comments made on the final permit the Division offers the following responses. NPDES understands that a discharge from Ion Exchange backwash is not always predictable. As a result, many Ion Exchange WTP-s choose to initiate a manual backwash -arid proceed to collect aliquot samples at spaced intervals to obtain a representative sample. Some Ion Exchange WTPs have chosen to install composite samplers to decrease the operator responsibilities but this can be costly. NPDES appreciates your efforts to schedule sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing or to manually place the softeners into backwash mode in order to collect a sample. The Division does find this practice to be acceptable. Note that a representative sample is considered to be the wastewater being discharged and not the static wastewater in the holding tank. Regarding your comment on turbidity sampling, please note that in a letter dated Feb. 25, 2009 from EPA Region IV the state is obligated to put turbidity monitoring in the NPDES permit. This also 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

It is recommended that the test be performed using a turbidity meter. All the changes made in this permit renewal as compared to the current permit are as follows: • The receiving waterbody is not listed as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and the maximum discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD. Therefore, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not show significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in a log book and available for inspection. • Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2B .0500. • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (1.) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field - certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • The wording in Section A. (2.) has been changed and the following paragraph added: If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report and all AT Forms submitted. . • Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing, it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. It is anticipated, that discharge alternatives assessed as part of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation, will likely eliminate toxicity failures in the effluent as well. • Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for lead, manganese, chloride, and total dissolved solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for all these parameters. Harbour Well #4 Effluent data reported from 1/2008 through 12/2011 Permit Facility TDS Manganese Chloride Lead Water Quality Standards Water Supply WQS- 500 mg/L Water Supply Water Supply WQS — 200 ug/L WQS- 250 mg/L Aquatic Life WQS — 25 ug/L Effluent data Average 11,201 m /L avg. 548 ug/L avg. 6,433 m /L avg. 6.9 ug/L avg.

This assessment is outlined in a special condition in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation findings are to be submitted to the Division within four years of the effective date of this permit and the findings will be used in drafting the next permit renewal. The Division recognizes that determining both how to comply p' Page 3 of 3 with WQS's and provide residents with safe, acceptable and clean drinking water is a complex issue. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. • The wording in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation was modified as compared to the wording in the email sent on August 12, 2013. Changes were requested in an effort to more clearly state the objective of Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. Please review it carefully. • Section A. (4.) Alternatives Evaluation Re -opener was added to the permit to identify to the Permittee that the Division may re -open this permit to include the findings from the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation in the form of a compliance schedule. • The Supplement to Cover was corrected as requested. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. 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, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required.

Effluent Flow shall be measured the same date that the samples are being collected for analysis. Discharge event and duration should be recorded in a log book and available for inspection. 2. Limit and monitoring apply only if chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used for disinfection. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported bclo`v 50 pa/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/ L. 3. Parameters shall be monitored in conjunction with toxicity testing. 4. See Special Condition A. (2.) All samples must be collected from a typical discharge event. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Page 3 of 5 Permit NCO086606 A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING (QUARTERLY) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three month .toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation 8s reporting of the data submitted on the DMR 8s all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Page 4 of 5 Permit NCO086606 A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION In an effort to comply with North Carolina Water Quality Standards (WQS) for the following parameters: chloride, manganese, lead, and total dissolved solids; the Permittee shall assess potential discharge alternatives. It is recommended that the evaluation thoroughly assess 3 to 4 of the following alternatives: 1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or pumped and hauled to a WWTP. Approval or disapproval from the municipality should be acquired. 2. Obtain a Non -discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non -discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on -site drainfield, infiltration gallery, injection wells). 3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility effluent to consistently comply with Water Quality Standards. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive, please explain and provide estimated costs. 4. Use Alternative Water Source: Obtain drinking water from another source (nearest County, City, or Town or other wells) so either the discharge is eliminated or compliance with WQS's is achieved. 5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce noncompliant wastewaters. For example, installing a recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge. 6. Discharge to a Larger stream: Relocate the facility's discharge to a larger receiving stream and determine if limits can be achieved given the increased dilution. 7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that would result in achieving compliance with Water Quality Standards. The evaluation shall include a present value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document." This Document can be found at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/­`­`wq/swp/ps/­­`npdes/`­permits. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. If one or two discharge alternatives are available to the Permittee, please identify the preferred alternative and an estimated timeline for implementation. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division at the address listed below four years after the effective date of this permit (by October 2, 2017). Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources NPDES Complex Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 A. (4.)

Current expiration date March 31, 2010 New expiration date March 31, 2018 BIMS Downloads and Renewal Review Summary: • For renewal: Updated effluent page in accordance with Ion Exchange WTP technology guidelines (2009); updated permit template, facility location, facility description, and added 8 Digit HUC to the map; Added parameter monitoring and limits based on zero low flow conditions (IWC=100%) using Reasonable Potential Analysis. The maximum flow reported between Jan. 2008 and Dec. 2012 was 0.053 MGD and the daily average flow was 0.0078 MGD. The maximum, monthly average flow from 01-2010 through 12-2012 was 0.019 MGD which was used in the RPA analysis per the WTP Strategy. • Flow Monitoring — Reviewed flow data and in accordance with the WTP Strategy revised the monitoring frequency to twice monthly, which is as frequent as the minimum frequency of monitoring required by other parameters listed in the permit. Included a footnote that the facility is to record and report flow the date of sampling. • Toxici - The facility has failed 19 out of 20 WET tests in the past five years. Permit draft requires the facility to conduct quarterly toxicity monitoring in conjunction with the sampling of manganese, zinc, iron, copper, and lead. • Compliance Record — The BIMs records indicate the facility has no penalty assessments resulting from DMR data. The facility has one Notice of Violation (NOV) for Permit Condition Violations noted during the July 2009 Compliance Inspection. [Bims query from 5/2008 — 8/2011 is null for limit violations] see attached EPA Inspection Form and Permit Condition Violation NOV-2009-PC-0724. 1 I Page Permit NCO086606 • Effluent data — indicates the current discharge treatment may not be adequate to meet the North Carolina Water Quality Standards for total dissolved solids, manganese, chloride, and lead. • .TRC —IWC calculation completed for TRC using S7Q10 (CFS) =zero and maximum, monthly average flow of 0.019 MGD Reasonable Potential Analysis —Reasonable potential to violate water quality standards were shown for copper, zinc, lead, iron, chloride, total dissolved solids, and manganese. Since copper, zinc, and iron have action level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with toxicity testing it is recommended that monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a measurement frequency of quarterly. The original draft permit contained limitations for water supply water quality standards for chloride, total dissolved solids, and manganese and aquatic life water quality standards for lead. After comments were received from CWS's (Utilities Inc.) the limitations were removed and special condition A.(3.) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation was modified. Parameters of Concern Parameter DWQ Response Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing Continue per WTP Policy Total Dissolved Solids 2x Monthly —WQS Limit 500 mg/L Total Chloride Monthly -To protect human health through water consumption and fish tissue consumption, W S Daily Limit 250 m Total Manganese Monthly Monitoring — To protect human health throud water consumption and fish tissue consumption, W S Limit 200 m Total Lead Monthly Monitoring —Aquatic Life W S Limit 25 u Turbidity Add Monthly Turbidi1y monitoring • A special condition in Section A.(3.) was added to the permit requiring the permittee to perform a Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to determine how the facility can comply with the water quality standards listed above. This evaluation is to be submitted to DWR/NPDES in four years so the findings can be discussed and inserted into the next permit renewal. • Nutrient Monitoring — The water body is not subject to the NSW classification and since the maximum, monthly average flow is less than 0.05 MGD (DMR data from August 2008 — June 2011) TN and TP were removed from the permit. Proposed Changes: • The discharge flow is less than 0.05 MGD and the receiving water body is not NSW, per the Water Treatment Plant Strategy, Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen monitoring have been removed from the permit. • Ammonia- nitrogen monitoring was removed from the permit since sampling results did not show toxic or significant concentration levels of ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent. • Flow monitoring has been increased to twice a month and a footnote was added to the permit stating that flow shall be measured the same date samples are collected for analysis. If an instantaneous sample is collected the duration of the discharge event shall be recorded in the log book. • Monthly Turbidity monitoring has been added to the permit in accordance with a letter received from EPA Region IV dated Feb. 25, 2009 and in accordance with Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2B .0500. • Footnote number 3 was amended under Section A (L) to include the following statement: TRC limit and monitoring requirement only apply if chlorine is used for disinfection. The Permittee shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC -certified laboratory [including field -certified]. Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. • Copper, zinc, and iron effluent samples reported from May 2008 through June 2011 showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards. Since copper, zinc, and iron have Action Level standards and should be reviewed in conjunction with quarterly toxicity testing. Monitoring for these parameters remain in the NPDES permit at a reduced monitoring frequency of quarterly. • Effluent sampling data evaluated from May 2008 to June 2011 for Lead, Manganese, Chloride, and Total Dissolved Solids showed reasonable potential to violate North Carolina Water Quality Standards for all these parameters. 2 1 P a g e Permit NCO086606 Harbour Well #4 Effluent data reported from 1/2008 through 12/2011 Permit I Facility TDS Manganese Chloride Lead Water Quality Standards Water Supply WQS- 500 m /L Water Supply WQS — Water Supply WQS- Aquatic Life WQS — 25 200 u 250 m u /L Effluent data Average 11,201 mg1L avg. 548 ug/L avg. 6,433 m /L avg. 6.9 u /L avg.

This assessment is outlined in Section A.(3) Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. The evaluation findings are to be submitted to the Division within four years of the effective date of this permit and the findings will be used in drafting the next permit renewal. The Division recognizes that determining both how to comply with WQS's and provide residents with safe, acceptable and clean drinking water is a complex issue. This evaluation is being requested to determine whether there are any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with NC Water Quality Standards. • Section A. (4.)

We do still have some feedback as follows: 1) We really don't understand the validity or importance of the turbidity monitoring addition. It has never been there in previous permits and seems to serve no real purpose and only increase costs. If you are required to implement this testing, then so be it. 2) In regards to the condition "All samples must be collected from a typical discharge event", we need to emphasize that this is virtually impossible to do and this has caused some controversy in the past. The "discharge event" is created when the softener units backwash after a pre -calculated amount of raw water has passed through the vessels thus allowing the softener to recharge before it has expended its capacity for hardness removal. There is no way to ensure we are physically present when this happens. If we manually place the softeners into backwash while we are there, it may not be truly representative but is as close as we can get. We have also collected "static" samples from the holding tanks when there was no active flow as this water in theory should be representative of the discharge quality but to actually have flow moving out the discharge, we will have to place the units in manual backwash. We will try.and schedule our sampling visits to coincide with expected backwashing but we would ask the division to understand the practical limitations of this somewhat unusual situation. We will be reaching out to the Aquatic toxicology unit at your suggestion to be sure we are doing everything as best we can in regards to the chronic toxicity testing. In reading the "NC ... Toxicity Procedure" version 3 December 2010, the test protocol is complicated and we want to ensure that both ourselves and testing lab are following the procedures. Thanks again for your consideration. Martin Lashua Regional Director Utilities, Inc.

In response to your letter the Division has made some revisions to the draft permits. While the Division is responsible for implementing water quality standards adopted by the state, the Division also recognizes the residents need for safe, acceptable and clean drinking water. A copy of the final permit that will be issued to the WTP"s is attached (each final permit will be the same as the one attached except for the facility name). Since these permits have already been public noticed there will not be another 30 day comment period. However, since a number of revisions have been made, please review the attached permit carefully and respond with any of your concerns by Aug. 20th. It is my hope that all the final WTP permits can be issued by the end of the month. Changes made to each draft NPDES permit in response to Utilities, Inc's comment letter are summarized below: As originally stated in the draft permits, Carolina Water Services, Inc. of NC, will investigate possible discharge alternatives to comply with NC Water quality standards as discussed under special condition A.(3.). The time period to perform the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation has been extended from three to a period of four years. The final permit requires submittal of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation to the Division, four years after the effective date of the final permit. This timeframe will allow for the Division and CWS to meet and discuss the evaluation findings prior to the issuance of the next permit. The purpose of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation is for the Permittee to document any economical and technologically feasible alternatives available to the Permittee to comply with state Water Quality Standards. If one or two such alternatives are available to the Permittee, please explain your preferred alternative and an estimated timeline for implementation. Special Condition A.(3.) has been revised so please review the wording carefully. • The permit limitations for total dissolved solids, total chloride, total manganese, and total lead were removed from the permit and a special condition added that allows the Division to re -open the permit and insert a schedule by which the Permittee will come into compliance with Water Quality Standards based on the findings/results of the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation. See Special Condition A.(4). • The requirement for up and downstream monitoring was removed from the permits based on DMR records showing two of the facilities having no flow up or downstream of the discharge, for the past several years, and one facility having a discharge to a storm drain. If this should change, stream monitoring requirements will be modified accordingly. • CWS has requested a five year delay in turbidity monitoring based on lab certification, however, laboratory services throughout the state provide such testing for a reasonable fee (-$30.00). A five year delay does not appear to be warranted. • The Supplement to Cover was corrected as requested. Please call or email me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the changes in detail. CWS will still have the right to a adjudicatory hearing within thirty days of receipt of the final permit, however, I wanted to give CWS a chance to look it over before moving forward and work together on any simple discrepancies, if possible.

Salisbury Street Raleigh NC 27604 Re: The Harbor and The Point NPDES Permits NC0086606, NCO086592 and NCO084565 Dear Ms. Grzyb, We are in receipt of the three above referenced draft permits and appreciate the Division's time in our meeting April 22 at the Regional office to discuss these permits and this situation. As I hope we have conveyed, this is a challenging situation. The potable water softeners at these locations were installed to provide treatment for hardness removal for customer satisfaction. NC DWR, Public Water Supply Section approved the softener additions and supports these treatment facilities for the customers' benefit. By addressing one issue, we created another. Conventional ion -exchange technology requires a backwash with a brine solution and since there is no public sewer in the area, there were no alternatives to a point source discharge. The only option to a discharge is to pump and haul (which would be economically prohibitive and impractical) or to shut down the softener operations completely which would create significant customer dissatisfaction. We do not feel that these stricter permits or the actions we will be forced to take to comply are serving to meet the Division's mission of protecting and enhancing North Carolina's surface water and groundwater resources for the citizens of North Carolina. Therefore we are opposed to the draft permits. We realize that the Division issued the permits initially based on then available information, however, by the fact that the permits were issued, a significant investment was made to the addition of potable water treatment in the system and this will essentially be lost. We request a reconsideration to allow the permits' original limits be "grandfathered" in and to remain as is. If the Division is unable or unwilling to accommodate this request, the following are some issues we ask to be specifically addressed; • Turbidity parameter has been added to all of the permits. This will require purchase of turbidity meter(s) to analyze this parameter and will also require a modification to our current field laboratory certification. We do not agree this parameter addition is warranted. If its inclusion is required, we ask that it also be delayed and not go into effect for five years.

Reeder Governor Director MEMORANDUM Date: April 26, 2013 To: Julie Grzyb, Environmental Engineer Division of Water Quality (DWQ) -SuWaterply ro ction From: Britt L. Setzer, Regional Engineer Division of Water Resources— Pu W ction Mooresville Regional Office John E. Skvarla, III Secretary Subject: Review of Draft NPDES Permits Permit NCO084565 — The Harbour — Wells #1 and #2 Water Treatment Plant Permit NCO086592 — The Point Well #1 Water Treatment Plant Permit NCO086606 — The Harbour Well #4 Water Treatment Plant I have completed the review of the draft permits listed above. My comments and concerns are listed below. All of the water treatment plants identified in the draft permits have existed since the mid to late 1990s without, to my knowledge, any obvious documented adverse impacts to the surface waters associated with the discharges. The MRO DWQ staff is not aware of any complaints or concerns associated with the current discharges. Because these discharges are into unnamed tributaries to the Catawba River Basin, it appears that most of the discharges never reach the surface waters (0 flow streams). The discharges are intermittent in nature and only occur during a back wash cycle. My understanding is that the largest treatment plant discharges approximately 1,000 gallons no more often than two times per week during normal operations. Of course, the discharge amounts increase during peak demands in the summer months. This is by no means a continual discharge which is typical with most NPDES permits. Furthermore, based on the compliance water quality monitoring required under Section .1500 of the Rules Governing Public Water Systems (RGPWS), it doesn't appear the infiltration of the discharges into the soil has adversely impacted any of the wells at this system. These discharges were permitted by the DWQ at the time of construction in the mid and late 1990s. I am concerned the compliance schedule and alternatives evaluation presented in the draft permit may result in the discontinuation of the water softening treatment units. There are no established drinking water standards for hardness in North Carolina that would prevent Carolina Water Services (CWS) from ceasing operations of these treatment units. Public Water Supply Section — Jessica C. Godreau, Chief Mooresville Regional Office Ijnp,Y ® 1 Z013 610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301, Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Phone: 704-663-16M FAX: 704-663-3772 Internet: vmw.ncvrater.org/pws I ---�- An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer I. "' ' --- -- Julie Grzyb April 26, 2013 Page 2 of 3 These water treatment facilities were approved by the PWS Section as listed below. These softening units were approved primarily to deal with the hard water. 1. 1995 —Harbour Wells 1+2 — DEH Approval Serial Number— 95-08539 2. 1998 —The Pointe Wells 6-10 — DEH Approval Serial Number— 98-01048 3. 1999 — The Harbour Well #4 — DEH Approval Serial Number — 98-01757. This treatment plant removes hardness associated with wells 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Without these water softening systems, the consumer acceptability of the water would be extremely low and result in significant customer complaints. This system can't function without these wells and meet pressure and system demands. The draft permit gives CWS three years to evaluate alternatives and make a proposal as to how to resolve these water quality violations. The alternatives presented included the items listed below. 1. Disposal of wastewaters by such alternatives as connecting to a local WWTP, pump and hauling wastewaters away, obtaining a non -discharge permit for land application or reuse. 2. Obtaining drinking water from another source. 3. Installing alternative water treatment methods. 4. Relocating the facility's discharge directly to the lake using a diffuser, assessing the model dilution, and determining if the limits can be met at the predicted effluent dilution concentrations. 5. Installing a wastewater treatment to comply with the limits. 6. The permittee can assess any alterative which enables the facility to comply with the NC Water Quality Standards. At five years, CWS is required to comply with water quality standards specified in the draft permit as listed below. 1. TDS - 500 mg/I 2. Total Chloride - 250 mg/I 3. Total Manganese — 200 ug/I 4. Total Lead — 25 ug/I As was reported in your e-mail message, sampling data collected by CWS during the past four years indicates maximum levels for the three treatment plants as listed below which is above the discharge limits. 1. The Point — 26,000 ug/I — TDS, 27,840 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6700 ug/I — Total Manganese, 28 ug/I — Total Lead. 2. Harbour Well #4 — 48,000 mg/I — TDS, 19,000 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6500 ug/I — Total Manganese, 38 ug/1— Total Lead. 3. Harbour Wells #1 and #2 — 23,000 mg/I — TDS, 14,000 mg/I — Total Chloride, 6500 ug/1— Total Manganese, 79 ug/I — Total Lead. On April 22, 2013, CWS met with the DWQ staff and me to discuss the draft NPDES permit and proposed alternatives identified in the draft permit. It appears the only viable alternative to resolve the water quality violations is to obtain supplemental water supply from the Town of Mooresville (TOM). According to CWS, a contractual agreement has been executed between the TOM and CWS to allow for a purchase of approximately 646,000 gallons per day of treated water from the TOM. The purchase of water may allow the wells that require softening to be taken off line thus eliminating all three discharges. The interconnection with the TOM will occur later this summer. CWS indicated they may be able to negotiate additional water purchase from the TOM in the future. Julie Grzyb April 26, 2013 Page 3 of 3 Based on this information, I understand that CWS might be able to comply with the draft permit. The three. year time limit to fully evaluate the TOM interconnect and possibly eliminate the discharges seems reasonable. Without the TOM interconnect, there doesn't appear to be any other viable alternatives. If you have any questions, please call me at (704)663-1699.

The maximum flow reported between Jan. 2008 and Dec. 2012 was 0.053 MGD and the daily average flow was 0.0078 MGD. The maximum, monthly average flow from 01-2010 through 12-2012 was 0.019 MGD which was used in the RPA analysis per the WTP Strategy. • Flow Monitoring — Reviewed flow data and in accordance with the WTP Strategy revised the monitoring frequency to twice monthly, which is as frequent as the minimum frequency of monitoring required by other parameters listed in the permit. Included a footnote that the facility is to record and report flow the date of sampling. • Toxici - The facility has failed 19 out of 20 WET tests in the past five years. Permit draft requires the facility to conduct quarterly toxicity monitoring in conjunction with the sampling of manganese, zinc, iron, copper, and lead. • Compliance Record — The BIMs records indicate the facility has no penalty assessments resulting from DMR data. The facility has one Notice of Violation (NOV) for Permit Condition Violations noted during the July 2009 Compliance Inspection.

CWS indicated that the units were installed around 2001 and regular maintenance is performed on the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the resin has never been cleaned or replaced to date. There were two settling tanks in series (approximately 1,000 gallons each). Backwash volume at peak load was reportedly 3-4 backwashes per day of approximately 700-900 gallons of discharge per backwash. Based on this information, it would appear that the settling tanks do not have the optimum capacity for settling. The IE units are operated based solely on the volume of water flow from the well system. Results and Recommendations: CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Harbour Well #4 WTP influent and effluent for the constituents' in the draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service Representative for the purpose of system optimization. We discussed 1) sampling the effluent at the settling basin and 2) sampling the effluent at the end of the discharge pipe. This will enable CWS to determine if the current sampling location provides a representative sample and to see if results differ between the two sampling locations. Site observations for Harbour Well #1 and #2 WTP were as follows: One trane of softners was observed receiving flow from two wells influent flowing through the WTP. CWS indicated that the units were installed around 1995, prior to CWS, and regular maintenance is performed on the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the resin has never been cleaned or replaced to date. There was one settling tank that appeared to hold (approximately 2,000 gallons). Backwash volume at peak load was reportedly 1 backwash every other day of approximately 900-1000 gallons of discharge per backwash. Based on this information, it would appear that the settling tank may have some settling capacity, but that was unclear. The IE units are operated based solely on the volume of water flow from the well system. Results and Recommendations: CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Harbour Well #1 and #2 WTP influent and effluent for the constituents' in the draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service Representative for the purpose of system optimization. )91Et,^ dt-P-.r : M R 01S (✓P AQo/,pw� 11Page /V(0EJ jQs 1 s Oon etc-,- o A, w<<1,�� aG� o-1 J6--� C V/S A� ARR DRAFT 04-03-2012 Site observations for The Point Well #1 was as follows: One trane of softners was observed receiving flow from five wells influent flowing through the WTP. CWS indicated that the units were installed around 1998-2000 and regular maintenance is performed on the units. The units work as designed to remove hardness, but the resin has never been cleaned or replaced to date. There were two settling tanks in series (approximately 1,000 gallons each). Backwash volume at peak load was reportedly 1 backwash daily of approximately 300-400 gallons of discharge per backwash. Based on this information, it would appear that the settling tank may have some settling capacity, but that was unclear. The IE units are operated based solely on the volume of water flow from the well system. Results and Recommendations: CWS agreed to sample in April 2012, the Point Well #1 influent and effluent for the constituents' in the draft permit and offered to contact the IE WTP Softner Technical Service Representative for the purpose of system optimization. Historical Sampling and results to consider for sample planning and treatment optimization: A review of 2010 and 2011 Wells #1, #2, and #4 groundwater data from Public Water Section web site did not include results for Chloride, TDS, Copper, or Zinc. The data also did not include Nitrate, the receiving water body is not nutrient sensitive, however, the last permit cycle Total Nitrogen data was collected and the Total Nitrogen results from the WTP discharge were elevated. Since there is a groundwater standard for Nitrate, I would recommend sampling the wells for Nitrate. Well groundwater results were reported for Hardness 19 mg/L and 123 mg/L, respectively, and for Manganese reported as less than .01 mg/L. The average Manganese results reported from Wells #1, #2, and #4 WTP discharge were significantly higher, they were .675 mg/L and .265 mg/L, respectively. Well groundwater results for Iron were also reported as less than 0.01 mg/L for wells #1, #2, and #4. However, WTP discharge average results reported for Iron were 0.18 mg/L and 0.25 mg/L, respectively, with maximums reported at 1.3 mg/L and 1.2 mg/L, respectively. Also, Sodium results were included from Wells #1, #2, and #4 in the 2010 and 2011 groundwater data published by the Public Water Section. The groundwater sodium results were 8953 ug/L and 13, 900 ug/L, respectively. This is important to note since the IE WTP unit is converting Ca and Mg to Sodium salts. It is also important to note that higher TDS usually in the form of CaCO3, lowers the exchange capacity, so hardness and TDS can be monitored for process control and WTP optimization. 2 1 P a g e 1- 1 a m �V.) � piS ,C) s j Softener l Backwash drain & de -chlorinating injection point A I The Harbour Well # 4 WTP NCOO86606 11 v 006 '"� �41 2 D 0 rd. • _t >1P ES PERMIT APPLICATION - SHORT FORM� - '��ITP For discharges associated with %voter treatment plants 13.

Allen Glenn Stovall (704-525-7990) and review the following: DMR's and Prism Lab bench sheets for the following parameters on the following dates: F-0anganese I (��L 11/30/2009 ��,��` Iz� 3° fi d��- u3 o A� Np 1�/l✓l 1.2/30/2009 ✓ F',�� �` r(` 2/26/2010 �/ 'i �l`I r-Ic Iq-4+g1t, Zinc 2/26/2010 3/9/2010 4/12./2010 �. 5/13/2010 1/25/2010 G S �A-V���'� V`` 2/26/2010 Fc 1/25/2010 2/26/2010 1./18/2011 Cu 1/25/2010 6/13/2011 a lacy (ao10 1"i:is data is SUSPECT, because the results reported are extreme outliers in sou -le cases. 5 C Q�t if it is CORRECT, then limits would be forthcoming in the new permit. I would rather get the data straight and ensure what was reported on the DNIR was the actual results from Prisill Lab with no decimal errors or other errors. It confirmed incorrect, then the ORC will need to do Amended WvIRs as soon as possible to avoid the incorrect rE:sul� from being used for the renewal of the permit. 1 Also, they should know that if the lab reports a result using a high PQL, a less than number, then %2 of that less than number can be used to determine if they receive a limit. For example: ead (pb) a less than 5 mg/ L was reported on 2/26, 2010. That means I would have to use 2.5 mg/L in my calculations and that one result could mean the facility will get a limit in the next permit. The lab should be able to detect down to 25 ue/L, the aquatic water quality narrative standard. *Prism lab, may report they had to dilute samples and that chloride interference is a problem: looking at the data below, this could be the case with some results. May be a good irea to check that this data is correct as well. NCO086606 2.10 001 5 21 2008 00940 - Chloride (as CI) General Inorganic Grab mg/I 11000.

We can discuss, because this will likely cause the permittee to be over limit frequently -meaning SOC, so do ri, J want to issue permit until these things can be confirmed and discussed with MRO. I will also be looking at the data from the other Harbour wells I and 2, and The Point. May have similar i�,_;ues? `I^ha A you for your time and consideration. Autumn Julie Grzyb April 26, 2013 Page 2 of 3 These water treatment facilities were approved by the PWS Section as listed below. These softening units were approved primarily to deal with the hard water. 1. 1995 -Harbour Wells 1+2 - DEH Approval Serial Number- 95-08539 2. 1998 -The Pointe Wells 6-10 - DEH Approval Serial Number - 98-01048 3. 1999 - The Harbour Well #4 - DEH Approval Serial Number - 98-01757. This treatment plant removes hardness associated with wells 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Without these water softening systems, the consumer acceptability of the water would be extremely low and result in significant customer complaints. This system can't function without these wells and meet pressure and system demands. The draft permit gives CWS three years to evaluate alternatives and make a proposal as to how to resolve these water quality violations. The alternatives presented included the items listed below. 1. Disposal of wastewaters by such alternatives as connecting to a local WWTP, pump and hauling wastewaters away, obtaining a non -discharge permit for land application or reuse. 2. Obtaining drinking water from another source. 3. Installing alternative water treatment methods. 4. Relocating the facility's discharge directly to the lake using a diffuser, assessing the model dilution, and determining if the limits can be met at the predicted effluent dilution concentrations. 5. Installing a wastewater treatment to comply with the limits. 6. The permittee can assess any alterative which enables the facility to comply with the NC Water Quality Standards. At five years, CWS is required to comply with water quality standards specified in the draft permit as listed below. 1. TDS - 500 mg/I 2. Total Chloride - 250 mg/I 3. Total Manganese - 200 ug/I 4. Total Lead - 25 ug/I As was reported in your e-mail message, sampling data collected by CWS during the past four years indicates maximum levels for the three treatment plants as listed below which is above the discharge limits. 1. The Point - 26,000 ug/I - TDS, 27,840 mg/I - Total Chloride, 6700 ug/I - Total Manganese, 28 ug/I - Total Lead. 2. Harbour Well #4 - 48,000 mg/I - TDS, 19,000 mg/I - Total Chloride, 6500 ug/I - Total Manganese, 38 ug/l - Total Lead. 3. Harbour Wells #1 and #2 - 23,000 mg/I - TDS, 14,000 mg/I - Total Chloride, 6500 ug/I - Total Manganese, 79 ug/l - Total Lead. On April 22, 2013, CWS met with the DWQ staff and me to discuss the draft NPDES permit and proposed alternatives identified in the draft permit. It appears the only viable alternative to resolve the water quality violations is to obtain supplemental water supply from the Town of Mooresville (TOM). According to CWS, a contractual agreement has been executed between the TOM and CWS to allow for a purchase of approximately 646,000 gallons per day of treated water from the TOM. The purchase of water may allow the wells that require softening to be taken off line thus eliminating all three discharges. The interconnection with the TOM will occur later this summer. CWS indicated they may be able to negotiate additional water purchase from the TOM in the future.

Box 240908 Charlotte, NC 28224 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO086606 The Harbour - Well #4 WTP Iredell County Dear Mr. Lashua: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9,1994 (or as subsequently amended). In response to your questions/comments on the draft permit: ➢ A summary of our permitting strategy for ion -exchange water treatment plants was included with your draft permit. In your comments you indicated the "permitting strategy appears flawed." The full workgroup findings, along with the participants involved on the workgroup, is available on our website at http:/ /h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. The 77-page document is entitled "Assessment and Recommendations for Water Treatment Plant Permitting: Findings of the Water Treatment Plant Workgroup." The new permitting strategy for water treatment plants affects all membrane and sodium cycle cationic exchange water treatment plants regardless of the facility's compliance history. ➢ We understand that the new requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the operation of your facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more information about the nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as well as the effect your discharge may have on the receiving water. These requirements are consistent for all water treatment plants using ion exchange technology. By requiring monthly monitoring for the new parameters, we aim to minimize the disruption to your operations while still gathering important data. We do not believe that these requirements pose an impractical burden on a properly operated facility. The Division will re-evaluate the monitoring requirements at the next permit renewal in 2010. ➢ Please contact Jim Meyer in the Lab Certification Branch at (919) 733-3908, extension 207 with any questions about the procedure for obtaining specific parameter certifications or for obtaining a list of certified laboratories. ➢ In your comments you indicated there is no upstream or downstream flow in the receiving water, except during rain events. The stream monitoring requirement will remain in the permit. However, if when sampling is conducted there is no stream flow, then simply indicate "No Flow" on the monitoring report. ➢ With regard to your comment that the conductivity monitoring requirement has been removed from "Most all NPDES permits," this is not entirely correct. The instream monitoring requirement for conductivity was removed from those NPDES permits with 100% domestic wastewater only. Your facility, an ion -exchange water treatment plant, does not fall into this category, and hence is still subject to the instream conductivity monitoring requirement.

The TRC limit will not take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the final permit. This eighteen (18) month grace period, which will conclude on September 30, 2006, will allow you the needed time to make any modifications to your plant as well as time to purchase new equipment or to find a certified laboratory able to conduct the TRC analysis. The Division's TRC policy memo was included with your draft permit. ➢ In your comments you objected to the need for the chronic toxicity testing requirement. You stated, "We oppose my testing requirement for parameters that do not have a proposed limit." Again we understand the requirements will increase man-hours and costs associated with the operation of your facility. The new requirements are an attempt by the Division to collect more information about the nature of your discharge so that we can properly characterize your effluent, as well as the effect your discharge may have on the receiving stream. At this time, your permit currently includes chronic toxicity monitoring. This is not a "pass/fail" test; rather the purpose is to gather information about the nature of your discharge. We need to determine whether your effluent discharge has a toxic effect on the receiving stream. Based on the data gathered, we will be able to determine whether or not future limits will be required. At this time we do not have sufficient information to make this determination. The Division may re-evaluate this monitoring requirement at the next permit renewal in 2010. This permit includes a TRC limit that will take effect on October 1, 2006. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. 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, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Vanessa Manuel at (919) 733-5083, extension 532.

(2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT MONITORING (Quarterly) The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 90%. The permit holder shall perform guarterlu monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP313. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention:North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Manuel Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: Draft Permit Permit NCO086606 The Harbour Well #4 WTP Iredell County Dear Ms. Manuel, F E 3 1 0 2005 FUI;IT S0j.ii E B,1A.,N H We are in receipt of the January 19, 2005 letter and draft permit. We must express opposition to the Permit conditions. There are substantial changes to the Permit of which we feel are unnecessary questionable significance, and of which permitting strategy appears flawed. Little consideration of "Real World" processes seem to have been made. This facility is a potable water sodium cycle ion exchange treatment for water hardness. The discharge is not continuous and happens only when the softeners need to be regenerated based on predetermined actual flow use. This facility has been in place for a number of years with no problems of any kind. Since there are few limits being proposed, the Division is in effect using the Permittee to gather data. This should not be our responsibility. We object to the following: 1) Except for rain events, there is no upstream or downstream other than the effluent. We must ask that all upstream and downstream monitoring be removed. 2) Conductivity has historically been a parameter of little value. Most all NPDES Permits had this requirement at one time, but most have since been removed. It is our understanding that conductivity must be tested in the field which will require purchase of new equipment and an amendment to our laboratory certification — or to pay a certified lab to do the work — all of which are totally unnecessary. Page 2 Ms. Vanessa E. Manuel February 8, 2005 3) Total residual chlorine. While we understand the rationale on this parameter, application in this instance seems unnecessary. Monitoring equipment is extremely expensive and the addition of common dechlorination chemicals may in themselves have a negative environmental impact through reduction of dissolved oxygen or pH. Again, the facility has operated for many years with no adverse impact. 4) Chronic Toxicity. We must adamantly oppose inclusion of this parameter. We oppose my testing requirement for parameters that do not have a proposed limit. Again, the Division is clearly using the Permittee to gather data. We feel the proposed changes are unrealistic and present substantial economic and operations impact to the Permittee for little, if any, benefit. We would appreciate reconsideration of the Permit and discussion of our objections. If you should have any questions, please call me at 704-525-7990, Ext. 216.

Receiving stream or affected surface waters: U.T. to Lake Norman (Catawba River) a. Classification: WS-IV, B CA b. River Basin and subbasin no.: Catawba 030832 C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: The discharge enters a dry stormwater ditch and travels = 900 feet before entering a cove of Lake Norman. PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS a. Volume of wastewater: Intermittent (backwash water from filters) b. What is the current permitted capacity: N/A C. Actual treatment capacity of current facility (current design capacity): N/A d. Date(s) and construction activities allowed by previous ATCs issued in the previous two years: N/A e. Description of existing or substantially constructed WWT facilities: The existing WWT facilities are filters which use a cation exchange resin for hardness (CaCO3) removal from the groundwater. f. Description of proposed WWT facilities: There are no proposed WWT facilities at this time. g. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: There are no toxic impacts expected. h. Pretreatment Program (POTWs only): Not Needed. 2. Residual handling and utilization/disposal scheme: Residuals generation is not expected. 3.

Spray irrigation: Insufficient area, Catawba River buffer concerns. b. Connect to regional sewer system: none presently available. C. Subsurface: Limited area is available. It should also be noted that there is essentially no organic material in the wastewater that would help establish anaerobic decomposition in a septic tank. Therefore, subsurface disposal is not being considered as an option at this time. d. Other disposal options: N/A PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The applicant requests reissuance of the NPDES permit for the discharge of wastewater from cation exchange resin water softeners serving a community drinking water well. The filters backwash intermittently, and eventually discharge into a stormwater charnel that drains to Lake Norman. The filters are designed to remove CaCO3 (hardness) from the well water. Pending a final review by the NPDES Permitting Unit, it is recommended that a Permit be reissued as requested. zJ� Signature of Re ort Preparer Date Water Quality Regionaf Supervisor Date hAdsr\dsr04\harbour4.dsr CAROLINA WATER SERVICE, INC.

The applicant proposes to construct a community drinking water well with cation exchange resin water softeners. Backwash from the filters(estimated at 3000 gpd) will be discharged to a dry stormwater channel and travel approx. 900-feet before entering Lake Norman, which is oligotrophic and not listed in the 1998 303(d) list. For treatment of backwash discharge, applicant proposes to construct two septic tanks in series to trap particulates. Proposed Effluent Limits. Effluent limits were based on revised 1992 WTP NPDES Policy memo. Since Q<5,000 gp , quarterly monitoring is appropriate for all parameters. TRC monitoring added since GW is disinfected with chlorine. Chloride monitoring added since they will perform brine recharge of water softener. EAA Review. Based on recent NPDES review, the potential alternatives for WTP backwash discharges are extremely limited. The applicant stated that a POTW is approx. 5 miles away; residences in subdivision are on individual septic systems. The permittees soil scientist stated that land application/reuse options are not feasible due to high sodium content. Non -Discharge Unit (Kim Colson) concurred that the high sodium content would nullify a land application option. Therefore NPDES is recommending issuance of discharge permit. Mooresville Region. MRO staff report dated 2/3/99 recommended that permit be issued. NPDES PERMIT FACT SHEET Page 2 Carolina Water Service, Inc.

January 22, 1999 Mr. Tom Belnick Environmental Technician, NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality, NPDES Unit Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, N. C. 27626-0535 Re: NPDES Permit Application Permit No. NCO086592 Permit No. NCO086606 The Point/Harbour WTP Iredell County LDESI P.N. 88055 Dear Tom: My sincere thanks for your e-mail and your call. We very much appreciate your efforts in resolving how to handle a well softener backwash discharge. In response to your letter, I have enclosed a map depicting the location of existing public sewer (Town of Mooresville), which is approximately five (5) miles from The Point well building. This distance makes this alternative economically unfeasible. Regarding possible reuse as a non -discharge option, I have investigated the operation ofthe softeners with Global Water Conditioning, the manufacturers of the equipment, and discussed this option with Toney Jacobs, the soil scientist for The Point project. (As a matter of information, The Point residences will all be served by individual septic systems.) The softener backwash is approximately 3,000 gallons, and occurs once a day. There are two (2) softeners, each of which has full rated capacity, thus they will alternate every other day backwashing. Backwash is with a brine solution which uses 325 pounds of salt per backwash, of which 213 pounds attaches to the media to replace the hardness (Calcium Chloride). Based on this concentration, even with an extremely low loading rate, there would be a sodium buildup over time that would severely inhibit nlant ornwth Thim TnnPv.arn„lri not rPrnmmPnri a land application system for the backwash water.

Plans are enclosed. We understand the Division's decision on maintaining separate discharge points for each of the well buildings, and Carolina Water Service has no objection to this decision. Again, thank you for your cooperation. Please let me know if additional information or documentation is required. Very y o s, �G Dale C. Ste E.E..
