FY24-25
Little Beaver Creek Gravity Sewer Extension $1,300,000
Two-year Total
Due to recent sewer extensions along Little Beaver Creek,the existing pump station at the Friendship Elementary School site
may be taken offline. In order to do so, a gravity sewer is needed to extend from the Friendship Elementary School site to
the existing Little Beaver Creek outfall. Abandoning this pump station reduces the funding needed for its maintenance and
eventual upgrades and reduces the noises and odors from the site.
Old Raleigh Road Water Line Replacement $4,350,000
Two-year total
This project replaces the water main in Old Raleigh Road that has surpassed its 50-year life expectancy. Improvements to
Old Raleigh Road has increased the vibrations and stress on this pipe from vehicle traffic. Research shows that expansive
clay soil contributes to pipe failure, particularly in smaller diameters pipes, like the existing 10-inch line. Despite system
redundancy, a pipe failure here would require many other valves and loops to be closed.
Pump Mechanic Truck with 7-ton Crane $180,000
This project replaces a 2008 Ford F550 (Unit#36) with a new pump mechanic truck that has a 7-ton crane. The vehicle will
be 8 years of age with over 75,000 miles at time of replacement.
Wimberly Road Water Supply Vault $200,000
This project installs a third water meter vault to assist in water supply quantification to support shared Water Plant
distribution with the Town of Cary.This vault ensures that Apex can receive enough water to meet our demand and provides
a redundancy if other transmission lines from Cary are disrupted.
FY25-26
Abbington Gravity Sewer Extension $450,000
Due to constant overtime and emergency maintenance at the Abbington Pump Station, approximately 2,400 linear feet of
gravity sewer is needed to connect the sewer flowing into the station to the outfall along Reedy Branch. Not funding this
project will require continued pump station maintenance. Abandoning this pump station reduces the funding needed for
maintenance and eventual upgrades and reduces the noise and odors from the site.
Apex Elementary Gravity Sewer Extension $400,000
Two-year Total
This project installs a gravity sewer extension from the planned Townes on Tingen development. This allows the Town to
abandon the Apex Elementary Pump Station which suffers from wear due to high operations and maintenance costs for its
size.The small station can only service the school at a low flowrate.
Gateway $2,200,000
Three-year Total
This project involves constructing utility infrastructure as part of an Economic Development Agreement entered into in 2022.
This project is expected to directly and indirectly benefit the Town through needed infrastructure,job creation, economic
diversification, and stimulus in technology and manufacturing skills. In exchange for completing sewer and water line
extensions,the Town will reimburse costs associated with the extension and installation of public utilities, specifically water
and sewer.

e
Green Level West Water Line Connection $400,000
Two-year Total
This project connects The Pointe and Weddington subdivision along Green Level West Road with a ductile iron water line
and by crossing the American Tobacco Trail.
NC 55 South Utility Relocation $1,000,000
This project relocates water and sewer utilities, including water lines, fire hydrants, valve, sewer lines, and manholes, to
accommodate NCDOT's widening of NC 55. Utilities in conflict have to be relocated to prevent disrupting customer utility
service within the construction corridor.
Shearon Harris Road Water Line Connection $500,000
Two-year Total
This project installs a water line that would extend from the stubbed line at the intersection of Reclamation Road and
Shearon Harris Road north to where it would connect to the existing waterline along Old US 1. This provides a looped
connection and a second water feed to the Western Water Regional Water Reclamation Facility.
UV System Replacement $1,500,000
This project replaces the UV system at the Apex Water Reclamation Facility.The current UV system was installed in 1998. Its
core electronic components are reaching the end of their useful life and becoming increasingly difficult to stock and replace.
Given the advances in lamp and driver technologies and smart reactor design in the past 20 years,a new UV system requires
less energy to disinfect compared to the current UV systems.
FY26-27
2.0 MG Elevated Water Storage Tank $7,800,000
Three-year Total
This project includes a preliminary engineering report, design, land acquisition, and construction of a 2.0-million-gallon
elevated storage tank to satisfy elevated storage requirements as Apex demand grows.
Crossroads Water Line Connection $400,000
This project uses a ductile iron pipe to connect five dead end lines in the Crossroads area to improve water quality and
redundancy for two neighborhoods and the Crossroads Ford.
Green Level Church Water Line Connection $620,000
Two-year Total
This project installs a water line tie in that helps redundancy in the Green Level Church area. This ductile iron pipe will run
north from the Ellsworth development and parallel to Green Level Church Road before tying into the newly extended and
stubbed line from the Freedom Square development at Green Level West Road.
US 64 & New Hill Olive Chapel Water Loop $1,730,000
Two-year Total
This project extends a water line along US 64,starting at the Legacy Development and routing west to New Hill Olive Chapel
Road, and connects to the existing water line from Deer Creek.This project provides a critical redundant feed to Deer Creek
and loops the waterline to remove the dead end at Deer Creek and dead end along US 64.

SR1010 Utility Relocation $3,000,000
This project relocates existing water and sewer utilities to accommodate NCDOT's widening of Ten Ten Road/Center Street
to Kildaire Farm Road. The Town has existing water and sewer utilities within the right-of-way, including water lines, fire
hydrants,valves,water service lines, and force mains that conflict with the NCDOT's proposed road widening.
US 64 Utility Relocation $2,500,000
This project extends a water line down Laura Duncan Road, under US 64,and ties into the existing water line running parallel
with US 64. Utilities, including water lines, a force main, and gravity sewers, need to be relocated to accommodate US 64
improvements.
50

e
Zeno Road Water Line Connection $225,000
Two-year total
This project connects two stubbed lines along Zeno Road with a ductile iron water line.
FY27-28
Davis Drive & North Salem Street Water Line Connection $2,350,000
Two-year total
This project provides a connection from the southern piece of the Davis Drive water line to the last western segment of the
water line on N. Salem Street connecting above US 64. This project will then bore underneath US 64 and connect to the
stubbed water line on the other side of the highway.
Richardson Road Water Line Connection $660,000
Two-year total
This project provides three stubbed connections at the Richardson Road and Mt. Zion Church Road intersection above

Overview
This emergency response plan has been established in the event a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) should
occur within the sewer collection system.Two divisions within the Water Resources are responsible for
responding to such emergencies. SSOs resulting from collection line fracture or blockages and pump station
malfunctions are handled by the Sewer Collection section of the Water and Sewer Operations division (WSO)
under the direction of the Operations Manager and WSO ORC. All Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF)
SSO's are handled by the Water Reclamation Facility division under the direction of the Plant Manager.The
contact list for Town staff, North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ), and wastewater/sewer
collections contractors and equipment/material suppliers is available for reference in Appendix A. All
employees in the Water Resources Department are equipped with a cell phone and can be reached 24 hour
per day for sewer backups and SSO or spill events.
Spill Notification during Normal Business Hours
If a phone call is received by City Hall or Police and Fire Departments during normal business hours (M-F,
8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M) about an SSO or spill during normal business hours, report the problem to the

ARTICLE 2
ALLOCATIONS OF COSTS AND PAYMENTS
Section 2.1 Allocation of Costs in General.
(a) It is the intent of the parties hereto to set forth the understandings of the parties as to
the responsibilities between Apex and Cary for the Capital Costs and Current Expenses properly
allocable to the Components of the WWRWMF based on their respective proportional share of
the right to the use and actual use of those facilities as herein provided.
(b) Cary as the Lead Agency shall establish such record keeping and accounting systems
as shall be necessary to enable it, as near as shall be practicable, to account properly for all
Capital Costs and Current Expenses allocable to the Components of the WWRWMF, and, as
near as shall be practicable, to properly identify and categorize the Current Expenses allocable to
any Component of the WWRWMF as Fixed Current Expenses and Variable Current Expenses.
(c) Cary shall permit each of the parties hereto to conduct such inspections and reviews
as such party deems necessary to assure that all Capital Costs and Current Expenses are properly
allocated as provided in this Section.
Section 2.2 Allocation of Capital Costs.
(a) The initial Capital Costs of each Component of the WWRWMF shall be allocated to
and borne by Apex and Cary(with Morrisville costs allocated to Cary), as the case may be, as set
forth in Table A-8 of Exhibit A hereto.
Thereafter, the Capital Costs of any Non-Expansion Related Capital Improvement of a
Component of the WWRWMF shall be allocated among Cary and Apex in accordance with their
respective Ownership Share of the Component of the WWRWMF in accordance with Section 4.1
below at the time the Capital Costs is incurred. Capital Costs of an Expansion Related Capital
Improvement of a Component of the WWRWMF shall be borne as provided in Section 4.2
below. Costs of design, planning, engineering, permitting and other preliminary costs of
proposed capital improvements to the WWRWMF that are not constructed or installed for any
reason shall in any event be treated as Capital Costs of the applicable Component of the
WWRWMF, which shall be allocated to and borne by Cary and Apex in the same manner as if
they had been constructed or installed.
(b) From time to time, and in sufficient time to enable Apex to arrange financing for its
share of the Capital Costs of the WWRWMF, Cary shall provide to Apex its best estimate of the
expected Capital Costs of any modification, improvement or other capital expenditure on a
Component of the WWRWMF and of each party's share of those Capital Costs. The parties
hereby acknowledge that the amount so provided shall be an estimate only based upon the
information then available, and that all Capital Costs, whether less than or greater than the
estimate, are to be allocated to and borne as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Cary as the Lead Agency has previously incurred the SRF Loan. The proceeds of the
SRF Loan were used to pay documented portions of the planning and permitting costs as well as
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities g g Agreement Page 9 of 41

portions of the design costs of specific Components of the WWRWMF, all of which costs are
"Capital Costs" of the WWRWMF. Copies of the loan documentation and detailed records
related to use of the SRF Loan proceeds have previously been made available to Morrisville and
Apex. Each payment of debt service with respect to the SRF Loan has been and will continue to
be allocated pro rata as a Capital Cost. Exhibit B sets forth a table showing (1) a schedule of
future payments to be paid on the SRF Loan and the proportionate share to be borne Apex and
Cary, and (2) the allocation of the SRF Loan payments to the various Components of the
WWRWMF for both Apex and Cary.
Section 2.3 Allocation of Current Expenses.
(a) The Fixed Current Expenses of the Components of the WWRWMF shall be allocated
to and borne by Apex and Cary (Morrisville costs allocated to Cary), as the case may be, in
accordance with the respective party's Ownership Share in the Component. The Fixed Current
Expenses shall be allocated based upon the Ownership Share at the time the Fixed Current
Expenses is incurred by Cary as the Lead Agency, as shown on Table A-9 of Exhibit A, as
modified from time to time.
(b) The Variable Current Expenses of the various Components of the WWRWMF shall
be allocated to and borne by Apex and Cary (with Morrisville costs allocated to Cary) in a
manner so that a given Variable Current Expense is allocated to the party causing the incurrence
of the Variable Current Expense. Cary as the Lead Agency shall apply such methodologies for
allocating Variable Current Expenses among Cary and Apex as shall be reasonable in order that
the Variable Current Expenses will be fairly allocated.
(c) Either Apex or Cary may deliver biosolids generated from treatment by the Apex
System or Cary System (as the case may be), and not from wastewater sent to the WWRWMF
for treatment, to the Biosolids Drying Facility for processing. Such processing will be in addition
to the processing of biosolids resulting from the operation of the WRF. Pursuant to Section 5.9,
each such party is entitled to so deliver such biosolids as a part of the capacity of the Biosolids
Drying Facility to which it is entitled. The Current Expenses incurred from the operation of the
Biosolids Drying Facility to process such biosolids are Variable Current Expenses that are
allocable to the party delivering the biosolids and shall be subject to the provisions described
above.
Section 2.4 Special Assessments. The allocations of the Capital Costs of the
WWRWMF pursuant to Section 2.2, and the allocations of Current Expenses pursuant to Section
2.3, are intended to facilitate a sharing of the costs of construction and operation of the
WWRWMF based upon (i) the Ownership Share of the Component of the WWRWMF of Apex
on the one hand, and Cary on the other hand, (ii) the assumption that the unit-costs of providing
and delivering the services of the WWRWMF will be the same for Apex and Cary and(iii) to the
extent that a portion of the Current Expenses of operating the WWRWMF are on account of
activities, actions or requirements of only one party, that party should be responsible for the
resulting additional Current Expenses. The parties acknowledge that under certain
circumstances the cost of such services to collect, convey and treat wastewater with certain
characteristics will be more expensive than for other types of wastewater and that the additional
costs should be borne by the party that generates the wastewater that is more expensive to treat
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 10 of 41

and convey. The parties also acknowledge that such costs could include costs of enforcement
action, penalties, legal defense, or other administrative costs.
In the event that any special or additional apparatus, equipment or other enhancement is
required to be included in any Component of the WWRWMF, or if any additional Current
Expenses are incurred by the WWRWMF on account of the characteristics of the wastewater or
treated effluent of Cary or Apex (such as additional systems to treat wastewater resulting from
heavy industrial use or wastewater contaminated by infiltration and inflow or additional facilities
or expenses to convey treated effluent on account of the volume), then Cary as the Lead Agency
shall levy a special assessment upon Apex or itself for the delivery of the wastewater or treated
effluent requiring the special facilities or additional Current Expenses so that only that party is
responsible for the additional Capital Costs or Current Expenses.
Section 2.5 Invoice Statements, Payment, and Interest on Overdue Amounts.
(a) Each of Apex and Cary is responsible for the payment of its respective shares of
all costs of the WWRWMF including Capital Costs, Current Expenses, and Special Assessments,
as the same are incurred by Cary. Cary shall allocate the costs between Apex and Cary
according to this Article 2.
(b) Cary will submit invoice statements from time to time, but no more often than
monthly, to Apex regarding Apex's share of costs.
(c) Apex shall, within 30 days of the date of the statement, make payment in the
amount of the statement to Cary. If Apex disagrees with any expense allocated to it by Cary, it
may notify Cary of the disagreement and request a review and that an adjustment be made, but
shall make the required payment to Cary pending the resolution of the disagreement.
(d) Any amounts due and payable by Apex hereunder that are not paid by the second
monthly invoice following the month in which the unpaid amount was billed (i.e. approximately
60 days after the date of initial billing) shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per
annum until paid.
Section 2.6 Annual Audit. Cary shall arrange for an independent accounting firm (which
may be the independent accounting firm that audits the books and records of Cary or of Apex) to
review the books and records for the WWRWMF and provide a report to Apex and Morrisville
that shall indicate whether the Capital Costs and Current Expenses allocated during the prior year
are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such report may be included in
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of Cary, so long as the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report includes sufficient detail to provide the information required by this section.
Section 2.7 No Obligation to Levy Taxes. No provision of this Agreement shall obligate
Cary or Apex, whether expressly or by implication,to levy taxes either to make payments falling
due hereunder or to pay any judgment entered against it as a result of its breach of this
Agreement. Cary hereby covenants with Apex that it will operate the Cary System, and Apex
hereby covenants with Cary that it will operate the Apex System, so that, in each case the
respective System will generate revenues sufficient to meets its obligations under this Agreement
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 11 of 41

(in addition to any other obligations payable from such revenues) to the extent funds are not
otherwise available for such purpose.
Section 2.8 Provision of Water by Apex at WWRWMF Rate. The Town of Apex is the
water service provider for those components of the WWRWMF where water is needed and shall
charge the Town of Cary a WWRWMF water service rate ("WWRWMF Rate"). In Fiscal Year
2015 the WWRWMF Rate was the standard rate for a retail account. For Fiscal Year 2016 and
thereafter, Apex shall set the WWRWMF Rate with the goal of recovering a proportionate share
of the direct and indirect costs to Apex of delivering water to the WWRWMF facilities. Apex
shall provide Cary with the Fiscal Year 2016 WWRWMF Rate by July 1, 2015. Thereafter,
annually, beginning in 2016 for Fiscal Year 2017, Apex shall provide Cary with the WWRWMF
Rate for the upcoming fiscal year by March 1, for inclusion in the budget report to the Policy
Advisory Committee at their annual March meeting.

the WWRWMF. Apex and Morrisville shall have full access, at reasonable times and in a
reasonable manner, to the consultants and contractors retained to assist with the design and
construction of the WWRWMF.
(b) As Cary enters into contracts or purchase orders providing for the design and
construction of any modification or improvements of the WWRWMF, Cary will advise Apex
and Morrisville of the total expected Capital Costs and of the share of those Capital Costs to be
allocated to Apex and Cary. Prior to approving any change order that results in an increase in
the Capital Costs to Apex of its cost for a Component of the WWRWMF or related project by
more than five percent (5%), relative to the Apex share of the initial contract amount, Cary's
Director of Water Resources or designee will advise the Apex Public Works and Utilities
Director of the amount of and the reasons for the increase in its share of the Capital Costs.
(c) During construction of any modifications or improvements to the WWRWMF, in
addition to the meetings required by Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 and any consultation between
the Town Managers required by subsection (b), Cary shall provide Apex and Morrisville with
periodic written reports (which may be distributed electronically) that includes relevant
information regarding the design and construction of the modifications or improvements. Such
reports may include information on the status of design and construction progress, current and
future budget and payment schedule estimates, scheduling updates and other relevant
information. Apex and Morrisville shall have full access, at reasonable times and in a reasonable
manner, to the documents, contracts and sites related to the design and construction of the
improvements or modifications. Apex and Morrisville shall have full access, at reasonable times
and in a reasonable manner, to the consultants and contractors retained to assist with the design
and construction of the improvements or modifications.
(d) Cary as the Lead Agency is the party responsible for applying for and pursuing all
permits and other governmental approvals necessary for construction and operation of the
WWRWMF, and shall take such actions as shall be necessary to obtain such permits and
approvals from the appropriate governmental bodies. Apex shall approve NPDES permit
renewal or modification applications for the WRF prior to submission by Cary to the State of
North Carolina. Approval shall be made by notice from the Apex Town Manager in writing
within fourteen (14) business days after the submission of the proposed application to Apex by
Cary. Approval of such NPDES application(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) The WWRWMF has been designed and constructed to meet the specifications and
criteria therefor(and related cost estimates) described in Tables A-3 and A-4 of Exhibit A.
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 13 of 41

(f) All parties agree that any contractors, or subcontractors hired pursuant to this
Agreement will be required to comply with the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the
q p
North Carolina General Statutes, "Verification of Work Authorization."
(g) Once operation of the WWRWMF begins, the Beaver Creek Trunk Sewer/Tunnel,
the Beaver Creek Gravity Sewer and the New Hill Facilities will be part of the Apex System and
the West Cary Pump Station and West Cary Force Main will be part of the Cary System.
Section 3.2 Ownership of Work Product. All intellectual property resulting from the
activities described in Section 3.1 shall be owned jointly and severally by each of the parties to
this Agreement. Apex and Morrisville, upon request, shall receive a copy of all correspondence,
documents, preliminary reports, and final reports from each service provider, and, to the extent
permitted by law and the agreements with such service providers, may use all such work in any
manner it deems appropriate, either in collaboration with the other parties hereto or alone.
Section 3.3 Budgets and Covenant as to Current Expenses. Cary as the Lead Agency
shall prepare the Annual Budget for each Fiscal Year and as expeditiously as possible shall
provide each of Apex and Morrisville with the Annual Budget. Cary shall endeavor to prepare
and provide a preliminary Annual Budget for the ensuing Fiscal Year by each April 15. To the
extent possible, Cary shall prepare the Annual Budget so that it will be possible to determine
from such budget the Current Expenses for the WWRWMF that will be allocable to Cary and
Apex during the Fiscal Year.
Cary as the Lead Agency shall also adopt a capital improvements budget for the
WWRWMF for each Fiscal Year which will show, in addition to such other matters as it may
determine to include, the amount estimated by Cary to be necessary for the renovation,
improvement, renewal or replacement of the WWRWMF and whether the same are to be
commenced, continued or completed during such Fiscal Year or thereafter. The Capital
Improvements Budget may be part of the Annual Budget.
Section 3.4 Insurance; Uninsured Losses.
(a) Cary, as the Lead Agency will maintain or cause to be maintained a practical
insurance program, with reasonable terms, conditions, provisions and costs, which it determines
(i) will afford adequate protection against loss caused by damage to or destruction of the
WWRWMF or any part thereof from any cause whatsoever and (ii) will include reasonable
liability insurance on all of the WWRWMF for bodily injury and property damage resulting from
the construction or operation of the WWRWMF. The cost of insurance is a Current Expense of
the WRF and shall be borne by the parties as set forth in Section 2.3.
(b) Any insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 3.4 may be subject to such
deductible limitations as Cary shall deem appropriate, or may be pursuant to a program whereby
Apex and Cary "self-insure" against certain losses up to a stated loss amount, and retain excess
coverage for losses in excess of that amount. The proceeds from insurance shall be used to repair
or rebuild the WWRWMF or, if it is determined not to repair or rebuild the same, then the
proceeds shall be distributed to Cary and Apex in proportion to their Ownership Shares of the
Components of the WWRWMF for which the proceeds were received.
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 14 of 41

policies shall be for the benefit of the Town of Apex and the Town(c) All such p of Cary,
as named insureds, as their respective interests may appear, and shall be made payable to Cary in
its capacity as the Lead Agency. Cary shall have the sole right to receive the proceeds of such
insurance and to collect and receipt for claims thereunder. From time to time, Cary shall make
available to Apex and Morrisville a report listing the policies of insurance then outstanding and
in force, the names of the companies issuing such insurance, the amounts and expiration date or
dates of such insurance, the risks covered thereby.
(d) If for any reason there is an uninsured loss, whether resulting from losses less than the
deductible amount, losses that are self insured, losses in excess of coverage, lapses in coverage,
uninsured liabilities or otherwise, the cost of repairs or replacement, or the costs required to be
paid to cover liabilities, shall be Capital Costs of the WWRWMF and shall be borne by the
parties as provided in Section 2.2.
Section 3.5 Liabilities, Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto to accomplish the planning, designing,
permitting, construction and operation of the WWRWMF on a regionally cooperative basis such
that the parties will achieve economies of scale from the construction and operation of one
system, both in terms of Capital Costs and Current Expenses, while each of the parties will be
responsible for its share of the costs and risks (both known and unknown) that might arise from
the operation of the WWRWMF. To this end, the parties agree as follows with respect to the
costs and risks that may result from the ownership and operation of the WWRWMF.
(b) In the event that any federal, State or local governmental entity determines that the
operation of any Component of the WWRWMF has resulted in the violation of any applicable
law, regulation, permit or other governmental restriction pertaining to the WWRWMF, then Cary
as Lead Agency shall endeavor to determine if only one party was responsible for the violation.
Cary will review the findings of its investigation with Apex and if Apex disagrees with the
findings, the assignment or sharing of responsibility, including costs, will be determined by the
Policy Advisory Committee. If it is determined that one party is solely responsible, that party
shall take such action as shall be necessary to resolve the violation.
In the event that it is not feasible to ascertain the responsible party, then the liability shall
be shared between Cary and Apex based upon each party's share of the Fixed Current Expenses
of the WWRWMF, determined as provided in Section 2.3. If Cary or Apex has been required to
make a payment to any governmental authority or otherwise expends funds for engineering, legal
or other costs associated with ascertaining the responsibility for a violation, objecting to a
violation or defending an assertion of a violation, and either
(i) is later determined to be the responsibility of the other, the responsible party shall
reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the non-responsible party for the amount
of such payment and costs; or
(ii) it is later determined that the source of the violation is the other party or cannot be
identified, the parties hereto shall make contributions to each other as necessary to
share the liability in the manner provided in the preceding sentence.
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 15 of 41

ARTICLE 4
ENTITLEMENTS TO CAPACITY
Section 4.1 Initial Capacity of the WWRWMF.
(a) Table A-5 of Exhibit A presents the initial Ownership Share for each Component of
the WWRWMF and shows the resulting initial entitlement to the capacities for each such
Component for each party. Initially, Apex and Cary shall be entitled to the percentage of
capacity of the individual Components of the WWRWMF set forth in Tables A-5 and A-6 of
Exhibit A. The percentages set forth in Exhibit A may be adjusted from time to time as permitted
by this Agreement, and Exhibit A shall be modified by a Letter of Agreement to reflect such
changes.
(b) In the event that at any time the flow capacity of any Component of the WWRWMF
is such that the maximum month or peak hourly flow capability is less than the amounts set forth
in Table A-5 of Exhibit A, the maximum month or peak hourly flow volumes for Apex and Cary
shall be reduced during such time in proportion to the Ownership Shares in the Component set
forth in Table A-5 of Exhibit A.
(c) Apex and Cary shall have access to shares of the maximum allowable monthly
pollutant loading capacity of the WRF as is shown in Table A-6 of Exhibit A. Apex and Cary
hereby acknowledge that there are some variations in the influent characteristics of their
respective influent wastewater that may cause either party's share of actual pollutant loading to
temporarily exceed that party's share of the capacity for such loadings on a day-to-day basis.
Both parties agree that this is acceptable as long as there are no impacts to cost or compliance.
Such impacts will be addressed as provided in this Agreement.
Section 4.2 Expansion Related Capital Improvements of Components of the
WWRWMF.
(a) The capacity of any Component of the WWRWMF may be increased at any time by
mutual agreement between Apex and Cary (with Cary acting on behalf of Morrisville) pursuant
to an amendment or supplement hereto. In such event, the Capital Costs of the improvements
will be an Expansion Related Capital Improvement of the Component and such Capital Cost and
the Current Expenses from operations after the installation of the improvements shall be
allocated as set forth in the amendment or supplement hereto.
(b) If there is not a mutual agreement among Apex and Cary to increase the capacity of a
Component of the WWRWMF, either Apex or Cary may arrange for the modification or
expansion of such Component of the WWRWMF to increase the capacity thereof as provided in
this Section 4.2. The Capital Costs of the improvement shall be for an Expansion Related
Capital Improvement of the Component of the WWRWMF, and such Capital Costs shall be
borne by the party requesting the Expansion Related Capital Improvement. If any such
expansion is undertaken without the participation of Apex or Cary, such expansion shall in no
way prejudice the ability of the party not participating in the expansion to expand to the Phase 2
capacity that has already been planned for the non-participating party, recognizing that the non-
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 16 of 41

participating party has already contributed to planning, permitting and land costs for the Phase 2
capacity as set forth in Table A-2 of Exhibit A. If Apex or Cary arranges to expand the WRF,
such expansion will not exceed that party's respective allocated permitted loading capacity as
provided in Section 4.1 and Table A-3 of Exhibit A.
If the request to increase the capacity of a Component of the WWRWMF is made by
Apex, Apex shall notify Cary of its request. Upon receiving such a request, Cary shall develop,
as promptly as reasonably possible, the plans and specifications required for the expansion and
notify Apex of the expected cost and the basis therefor. Apex shall be responsible for all costs
incurred by Cary in developing such plans and specifications,regardless of whether the proposed
expansion proceeds.
If the request to increase the capacity of a Component of the WWRWMF is made by
Cary, Cary shall notify Apex of its request. Cary shall be responsible for all costs it incurs in
developing the plans and specifications required for the expansion and Apex shall have no
liability therefor,regardless of whether the proposed expansion proceeds.
In any event, Cary will be responsible for the supervision of all design, construction,
acquisition and installation of the Expansion Related Capital Improvement. The Expansion
Related Capital Improvement shall be procured in a manner so as not to interrupt the operation of
the WWRWMF and the services it provides to the other party to this Agreement. The party
requiring the Expansion Related Capital Improvement shall pay all the Capital Costs of the
modifications to the WWRWMF required for the increase in capacity and shall compensate the
remaining party or parties for the increased Ownership Share of land associated with the
expanded Component of the WWRWMF based on the land costs set forth Table A-2 of Exhibit
A.
Upon completion of such modifications, the party requiring the Expansion Related
Capital Improvement shall be solely entitled to the use thereof, and Exhibit A shall be updated
by Letter of Agreement to reflect the new Ownership Shares of the Components of the
WWRWMF and the cost of the land allocable to the Ownership Share. Thereafter, except as
hereinafter provided, the Current Expenses for the operation of the WWRWMF shall be
allocated based upon the revised Ownership Shares and on use, and otherwise in accordance with
Section 2.3. If the expansion of the capacity of a Component of the WWRWMF results in an
increase in the overall Current Expenses such that a cost allocation based solely upon the
Ownership Shares and on use does not result in a fair sharing of the Current Expenses following
the expansion (e.g., the increase in capacity results in a higher per unit Current Expense charge
than would have been the case without the increase), Cary shall impose a Special Assessment to
the party requiring the increase in capacity in order to allocate the Current Expenses following
the increase in capacity more fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring an Expansion Related
Capital Improvement of any Component of the WWRWMF is undertaken pursuant to this
Section 4.2 and in connection therewith Cary as the Lead Agency determines that any Non-
Expansion Related Capital Improvement to a Component of the existing WWRWMF should be
installed at the same time, then Cary may cause the installation at that time and the costs of the
additions and modifications shall be allocated as provided in Section 2.2 (based upon Ownership
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 17 of 41

Shares prior to the increase in capacity). Cary shall allocate the costs of all capital improvements
being carried out at the time so that the party requesting the Expansion Related Capital
Improvement bears the Capital Costs of the expansion and Cary and Apex bear the cost of the
Non-Expansion Related Capital Improvement modifications to the existing facilities in
accordance with their Ownership Shares.
Section 4.3 Use of Capacity of the Other Party.
(a) To the extent that a party (the "Owning Party") has surplus capacity (hydraulic or
treatment)resulting from its Ownership Share in a Component of the WWRWRF, the other party
(the "Using Party") may pay for and use the surplus capacity, provided such use of the surplus
capacity does not infringe upon the Owning Party's ability to meet the wastewater management
needs of its customers. Such use will be by Letter of Agreement specifying the hydraulic
capacity, the pollutant loading capacity if for the WRF, the calculation of the amount to be paid
by the Using Party for the use of the capacity and the duration of capacity use.
(b) In the event a Using Party is using the Owning Party's capacity and the Owning
Party reasonably and in good faith determines that it is not able to meet the wastewater
management needs of its customers, the Owning Party shall provide written notice to the Using
Party that its ability to meet the needs of its customers has been infringed upon ("Infringement
Notice"). Such Infringement Notice may be sent when the Owning Party experiences such
occurrences as wastewater quality concerns, undesirable hydraulic conditions, unsatisfactory
wastewater treatment, and other conditions or occurrences that affect its ability to meet the
wastewater management needs of its customers. Upon receipt of such Infringement Notice,
Using Party will discontinue use of Owner's capacity within 24 hours or as soon as is otherwise
practical and is agreed to in writing by Owning Party.
Section 4.4 Sale of Capacity.
(a) Cary and Apex agree that both have the right to benefit from any sale of capacity
(which may also refer to any sale of the right to use capacity without transferring ownership of
capacity) of a Component of the WWRWMF to a third party to the extent they determine to
participate in the sale. In the event that Cary or Apex are offered the opportunity by another
entity to sell to such entity some portion of the capacity to which it is entitled, the party receiving
the offer of such opportunity shall notify the other.
If both Apex and Cary wish to participate in the sale of capacity to a third party, then an
agreement will be prepared among the third party buying capacity, Apex and Cary. In addition to
such additional provisions as the parties thereto shall agree upon, such agreement shall contain
provisions to the effect that:
(i) The sale will be shared by Cary and Apex;
(ii) Revenues from the sale of the capacity will be equitably allocated to the
Components of the WWRWMF utilized to deliver the capacity and shared between Apex
and Cary in accordance with their Ownership Share of the Component utilized;
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 18 of 41

(iii) Arrangements for the use of the capacity shall be managed by Cary as the
Lead Agency;
(iv) Costs incurred in implementing the use of the capacity will be equitably
allocated to the various Components of the WWRWMF utilized to deliver the capacity
and shared between Apex and Cary in accordance with their Ownership Share of the
Component utilized; and
(v) such operational details as shall be necessary.
(b) If a third party that is a governmental entity or a non-profit corporation that has a
public water and wastewater operation (the "Third Party") proposes to purchase capacity in the
WWRWMF from Cary or Apex (the "Proposed Seller") and the other party does not choose to
participate in the sale as contemplated by subsection (a), then the party desiring to make such a
sale (the "Proposed Seller") shall first offer to sell the capacity to the other party (the "Proposed
Buyer") at a price that is the lesser of(1) the proposed sale price of the capacity to the Third
Party and (2) an amount sufficient for the Proposed Seller to recover its Capital Cost investment
in the Component of the WWRWMF for which the capacity is being sold for the period that the
capacity is being sold. If the Proposed Buyer elects to purchase the capacity, then the capacity
shall be so sold for the purchase price described above. During the time the capacity is sold to
the Proposed Buyer, the Proposed Buyer shall be responsible for the Current Expenses allocable
to the capacity of the Component of the WWRWMF so sold.
(c) If the other party does not purchase the capacity, then the Proposed Seller may sell
such capacity to the Third Party at the price described above. If such a sale to a Third Party
occurs:
(i) the capacity so sold will be solely from the Ownership Share of the Proposed
Seller;
(ii) the sale may only be made if the sale will not infringe on the ability of the
other partyto use its full allocated capacity in anyComponent of the
p Y p WWRWMF or
otherwise meet the demands of its customers; and
(iii) the Proposed Seller shall be responsible for the performance of its
payment and other obligations hereunder as if such sale had not occurred (although it
may have such rights and actions against the third party as shall be negotiated between
those parties).

or as part of a trunk line monitoring program.
All sampling done for the purpose
(b) p g p rp se of monitoringthe wastewater qualityfor the
WRF shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR 136 and
analyses shall be performed by a laboratory certified in North Carolina by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources for the specific wastewater parameter being analyzed. If 40 CFR
136 does not contain sampling or analytical techniques for a pollutant being measured, sampling
and analyses for that pollutant shall be performed in accordance with procedures approved by the
US Environmental Protection Agency. All wastewater sampling shall be representative of the
wastewater discharge. Grab samples shall be used for temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols,
oil and grease, sulfide, volatile organic compounds, low level mercury, and any other pollutants
as required by 40 CFR 136. All wastewater composite samples shall be collected using flow
proportional composite collection techniques.
(c) Apex may collect samples at the Sampling and Flow Measurement Stations
separately and in addition to samples collected by Cary. Cary and Apex will provide each other
with split wastewater samples when the other party requests an aliquot prior to a sample event, or
if requested after a sampling event if sufficient sample volume is available for split analyses.
(d) Cary(and Apex, if Apex collects and analyzes samples) shall analyze the samples
and submit written reports that include analytical results, chain of custody, and field sampling
documentation to each other on a monthly basis no later than the last day of the month following
the month in which samples were collected. Cost incurred by Cary for sampling and analysis
shall be included as a Variable Current Expense allocable to the party owning the wastewater
System for which the sample is taken.
(e) If Cary as Lead Agency conducts demand or reactive sampling/monitoring as a
result of an accidental spill or Non-Routine Discharge that may pose harm to the WWRWMF, it
shall charge the party responsible for the Non-Routine Charge a Special Assessment for the cost
thereof.

In determining such Variable Current Expenses, Cary shall, as nearly as possible, compute the
Current Expense of operating the Biosolids Drying Facility, the weight of biosolids delivered to
the Biosolids Drying Facility pursuant to this Section 5.9 and from the WRF and resulting costs
per ton of the biosolids treated. The portion of the Current Expenses allocable to Apex or Cary
for any delivered biosolids for any period shall be the computed cost per wet ton of biosolids for
that period multiplied by the wet tons delivered to the Biosolids Drying Facility by that party for
the period.
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 28 of 41

(f) Cary as Lead Agency may randomly collect, preserve, and analyze samples of any
biosolids deliveries in order to determine biosolids quality and pollutant concentrations. If
biosolids delivered by Apex or Cary to the Biosolids Drying Facility pursuant to this Section 5.9
contain pollutant levels that cause the biosolids processed by the Biosolids Drying Facility to
exceed the limits for Class A dried biosolids, the full cost associated with alternative disposal of
all dried biosolids produced during the time period in which elevated pollutant levels are
received and dried biosolids pollutant levels are non-compliant shall be treated as a Special
Assessment and billed accordingly.
(g) Cary and Apex will readily share information regarding the quality and characteristics
of biosolids generated from their respective Systems, including notification of treatment facility
permit noncompliance or known operational issues that may affect the biosolids delivered to the
Biosolids Drying Facility. Cary, as the Lead Agency, may deny acceptance of biosolids that may
cause a violation of the WWRWRF Class A dried biosolids limits.

as Tenants-in-Common. The Ownership Shares shall be as set forth in Table A-5 of Exhibit A,
as may be amended from time to time as allowed by this Agreement. The parties hereby agree to
execute and deliver such deeds of conveyances or other instruments as shall be necessary in
order that the percentage ownership of the property reflects the agreed upon ownership interests
described in this Section 7.2.
(b) Each of Cary and Apex hereby waives all rights to partition of the jointly owned
property for a period ending June 30, 2065.
(c) In the event that the initial Ownership Shares of Cary or Apex set forth in Table A-5
of Exhibit A changes in accordance with Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the parties hereby agree to
convey among each other such percentage of their ownership interest such that the ownership
interest in the real property associated with any Component of the WWRWMF is commensurate
2015 Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities Agreement Page 32 of 41

with each party's Ownership Share of the Component of the WWRWMF. Compensation will be
made for changes in land ownership or interests as specified in Section 4.2(b). Upon any such
exchange, the party to whom an ownership interest in land is conveyed shall pay the party
making the conveyance for the cost of the land conveyed, based upon the initial land costs set
forth in Table A-2 of Exhibit A.
(d) Each party hereto is hereby authorized to grant such mortgages, security interests,
liens or other encumbrances with respect to its ownership interest (and solely its ownership
interest) in any Component of the WWRWMF or the revenues thereof or income therefrom in
connection with its arranging for financing of its share of the costs hereunder. Any such
mortgage or other security interest shall be made expressly subject to the rights of the other
parties under this Agreement, including the waiver of the right of partition affirmed in this
Section. The instrument creating the mortgage or other lien upon Cary's or Apex's interest in
the property shall provide that upon the occurrence of any foreclosure or similar succession to
ownership by a new party, the new owner will enter into an agreement with the parties hereto to
carry out the obligations hereunder of the party selling or otherwise disposing of its interest.

Exhibit A
Facilities, Capacities, Ownership Shares and Cost Shares
Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities
1.0 Project Description
The Components of the Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities (WWRWMF) are
shown in Figure A-1 and described below in two groups. The first group includes facilities that were
permitted, designed and constructed as part of the WWRWMF, but upon completion of construction will
be owned, maintained and operated solely by Apex, thus becoming part of the Apex System and no
longer considered part of the WWRWMF (also, some of the New Hill Facilities will be owned by property
owners.) The second group is facilities that were permitted, designed and constructed as part of the
WWRWMF and upon completion of construction will be jointly owned by Cary and Apex; these facilities
will be maintained and operated by Cary as the Lead Agency.
Initial WWRWMF Components that will become part of Apex System:
1) Beaver Creek Gravity Sewer(Figure A-3)—A 42-inch gravity sewer pipeline, approximately 3,700
ft, connecting the White Oak Creek, Reedy Branch, and Beaver Creek portions of the Town of
Apex service area with the Beaver Creek Pump Station.
2) Beaver Creek Trunk Sewer and Tunnel (Figure A-3)—Tunnel to Beaver Creek Pump Station and
approximately 4,000 ft of 36-inch and 42-inch gravity sewer
3) New Hill Facilities (Figure A-9)—about 10,000 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer, the New Hill Pump
Station, and about 3,460 feet of 6-inch force main from the pump station to the Western Wake
Regional WRF; about 1,020 linear feet of 6-inch water line and about 2,420 linear feet of 8-inch
water line; and service connections on about 35 private properties in Census Tract 534.03 Block
1053, which will become the homeowners' responsibilities.
WWRWMF Components that are jointly owned and will be operated as the WWRWMF:
4) West Reedy Branch Gravity Sewer(Figure A-2)—A 54-inch and 48-inch gravity sewer pipeline,
approximately 11,500 feet long, from West Cary Force Main to Beaver Creek Pump Station.
5) Beaver Creek Pump Station (Figure A-3)—Located in the Town of Apex wastewater service area,
and operated by the Town of Cary, to convey flows from West Cary Pump Station and Town of
Apex service areas to Western Wake Regional Water Reclamation Facility(WRF.) Station
pumping capacity is 39.4 MGD.
6) Beaver Creek Force Main (Figures A-4 and A-5)—A 42-inch force main, approximately 26,300 ft
long, from Beaver Creek Pump Station to the Western Wake Regional WRF.
7) Western Wake Regional WRF (Figure A-6)—A water reclamation facility located in the Town of
Apex municipal limits at 3500 Reclamation Road. The WRF has a permitted capacity of 18.0-
MGD on a maximum month average flow basis; the WRF is defined as including all facilities at
the WRF site, excluding Biosolids Facility and Effluent Pump Station, identified separately.
8) Western Wake Regional Biosolids Facility(Figure A-6)—A wastewater treatment residuals
processing facility located at the WRF site, incorporating biosolids dewatering and drying
facilities, with a permitted maximum 5,139 dry tons of residuals generated per year by WRF
treatment processes.
Exhibit A(Revised November 5, 2014)

9) Effluent Pump Station (Figure A-6)—A pump station for treated effluent from the WRF, located on
the WRF site and pumping from the WRF to the Cape Fear River outfall structure. The peak
capacity of the pump station is approximately 46.4 MGD.
10) Effluent Pipeline and Outfall (Figures A-7 and A-8)—A 54-inch and 48-inch, 11.7-mile force main
conveying treated effluent from the WRF Effluent Pump Station to the Cape Fear River outfall
structure below Buckhorn Dam.
Points of Connection from the Apex System and Cary System are also show on the figures. Wastewater
from the greater Cary service area including Morrisville and RTP South will be conveyed to the system via
the West Cary Pump Station and Force Main, and enter the system at Cary's Point of Connection at the
junction box at the upper end of the West Reedy Branch Gravity Sewer(Figure A-2). Cary will have a
second Point of Connection at the same junction box, delivering wastewater from the Cary/Apex Water
Treatment Facility(Figure A-2). Wastewater from Apex will enter the system at three Apex Points of
Connection: the junction box at the upstream end of the West Reedy Branch Gravity Sewer(Figure A-2);
the Beaver Creek Pump Station where the Beaver Creek Trunk Sewer and Tunnel connects (Figure A-3;)
and the influent pump station of the WRF where the New Hill Facilities connect (Figure A-6.) Figure A-2
also shows locations where taps were installed along the West Reedy Branch Gravity Sewer for planned
Points of Connection.
As is discussed in more detail in Section 3, the WWRWMF were planned to be implemented in two
phases: Phase 1 is the initial phase and Phase 2 includes expansion to meet projected 2030 needs.
Planning, permitting and, design of the Components of the WWRWMF were based on or took into
consideration Phase 2 flows. In some cases, to take advantage of cost efficiencies and avoid future
construction impacts, Components (or portions of Components)were constructed to 2030 capacity in
Phase 1. Table A-1 summarizes the Components, their built capacities, and budgeted capital costs
(including land). For those Components that will need to be expanded later to meet 2030 capacity needs,
Table A-2 lists the Phase 2 planned capacities and land value, and notes any elements constructed in
Phase 1 to facilitate the expansion.

2.0 WRF Pollutant Removal Capacity
The WRF provides treatment for raw wastewater flows from western portions of Cary's and Apex's
service areas. Wastewater flows from the western Cary service area include flows from the Wake County
portion of Research Triangle Park (referred to as RTP South).
The WRF is designed to comply with the effluent discharge limits in National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. NC0088846, issued by the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) on January 7, 2011. While the permit names both the
Town of Apex and the Town of Cary, Cary is responsible for operating the WRF.
The permit includes discharge limits, summarized in Table A-3, for the current WRF discharge capacity of
18 mgd and for the Phase 2 expansion to 30 mgd. Effluent limits are subject to modification by NCDENR
in future permits.
Cary's permit for distribution of Class A residuals (Permit No. WO0029376)establishes a limit of 5,139
dry tons per year of residuals generation from the WRF, and distribution of up to 6,750 dry tons per year
of residuals dried at the Western Wake Regional Biosolids Facility.

mg/I. Calculate bass loads as specified in NPDES Permit condition A(5).
3.0 Flows and Facility Capacities
Table A-4 presents the Cary and Apex projected maximum month flows, based on the 2013 Long Range
Water Resources Plan and subsequent estimates, as well as the design basis, which was generally
based on planning done in the 2005-2008 timeframe and used for the Environmental Impact Statement.
The WRF is sized based on maximum month flows, the discharge is permitted based on maximum month
flows, and pump stations and pipelines are sized based on peak hourly flow rates. The effluent pump
station, pipeline and outfall are sized based on maximum month flows. Key design assumptions are that
maximum monthly flows are 1.18 times average annual flows for Cary(including Morrisville) and 1.23
Exhibit A(Revised November 5, 2014)

times average annual flows for Apex, and that peak hourly flow rates are 3.1 times average annual flows.
Water quality and loading considerations were discussed in Section 2.0.

Generally, the design of Phase 1 facilities was based on the estimated needs for 2020 (2020 Design
Basis), with some elements (e.g. pump station footprint)designed and constructed to meet 2030 needs
(2030 Design Basis). However, consideration for future needs was included when planning and
permitting the facilities and the West Reedy Branch Gravity Sewer, Beaver Creek Gravity Sewer, and
Effluent Pipeline and Outfall were designed and built in Phase 1 to meet 2030 needs (2030 Design
Basis). Acquisition of all land and land interests prior to Phase 1 construction was based on 2030 needs
(2030 Design Basis). The Environmental Impact Statement and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Record of Decision and 404 Permit were based on the 2030 Design Basis, including plans for Phase 1
initial construction and future Phase 2 expansion.

1 Pro-rata Shares of Western Wake Regional WRF nutrient loading capacity are presented in Table A-6.
Each of Cary's and Apex's share of nutrient loading capacity is presented in Table A-6.Apex's and Cary's
shares of the loading that the WRF can accommodate for other pollutants, while complying with all
NPDES permit conditions, are the same as the ownership shares show in Table A-5. The quantity of any
wastewater constituent that either Cary or Apex may contribute to the WRF is based on the ownership
share, the WRF's treatment performance, and the NPDES permit; such quantities are not guaranteed but
are subject to revision based on factors such as actual WRF pollutant removal performance, headworks
modeling and future permitting actions by NCDENR.
Table A-7 presents the ownership shares in the land associated with each Component. With the
exception of the Beaver Creek Pump Station, the land shares are equal to the Component Ownership
Shares. Land for those two components is owned in proportions that match the anticipated expanded
Phase 2 Component Ownership Shares. When any Components are expanded in the future, the land
costs presented in Table A-2 will be used to calculate associated land ownership transfer fees, if
applicable.
Apex will own 100 percent of the Beaver Creek Gravity Sewer and Tunnel, and of the New Hill Facilities,
including 100 percent of all related land and land interests.

Exhibit A (Revised November 5, 2014)

5.0 Allocation of Capital Costs and Fixed Current Expenses
There will be capital costs that are not related to the Phase 1 initial construction or to capacity expansion;
cost shares for these capital costs are shown in Table A-9. The same cost shares will apply to fixed
current expenses. Fixed current expenses include costs incurred to operate and manage the WWRWMF
which are not significantly influenced by the quantity or quality of wastewater treated, such as labor,
materials for maintenance, and infrastructure. Table A-9 lists the Capital Cost and Fixed Current
Expense cost shares for the parties.
Costs for over-arching administration, management, operation and maintenance will be shared according
to the cost shares for the WRF. This will includes items such as, but not limited to, infiltration/inflow
analysis, meter verification, and annual audits.

6.0 Allocation of Variable Current Expenses
Variable current expenses include costs incurred to operate and manage the WWRWMF which are
generally proportional to the quantity and quality of wastewater treated, such as power and chemicals.
Flow monitoring and water quality sampling will be occur at the locations shown in Figure A-10. WRF
influent and effluent flows are measured with Parshall Flumes. Magnetic flow meters are generally used
to measure flow in force mains downstream of pump stations. Radar flow meters are generally used to
measure flow in gravity sewers. The monthly average flows from Apex and Cary to/through each of the
Components will be calculated as shown in Figure A-11. Loads will generally be calculated the same way
on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Exhibit A (Revised November 5, 2014)

7.0 Sampling and Monitoring
Table A-10 lists the stations,the operating party,and notes. Cary,as Lead Agency,will visit each station
to sample and record the flow totalizer reading on a monthly basis. Both Cary and Apex will inspect the
pump stations they operate on a daily basis,also recording the flow totalizer reading. Some of the
stations are tied into the WWRWMF SCADA system now(WRBGS, BCGS, BCPS,WRFI,WRFE)while
the remainder are planned to be tied into either Cary's or Apex's SCADA systems in the future. The
NHPS has a very small flow that is entirely domestic waste. If an initial period of sampling confirms the
domestic waste characterization, sampling of that station by Cary may be reduced in frequency or
discontinued.
Cary and Apex recognize that there will be discrepancies in the water balance for flows because of the
inherent varying levels of uncertainties in the flows measured at the different types of meters.
