WithersRavenel 115 MacKenan Drive Cary, North Carolina 27511 RE: Wastewater Service NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 1, 2024 H2OBX RV Park Powells Point - Currituck County Dear Ms. Saunders: H2OBX, LLC holds permit Number WQ0038695 allowing for the continued operation of the H2OBX Waterpark wastewater treatment and disposal system. The subject treatment system permit is in effect through June 30, 2029 and can be renewed and reissued. At this time, there are no significant compliance issues related to the operation of the H2OBX Waterpark wastewater facility. As such, wastewater management needs generated through the planned H2OBX RV Park project have potential to be served through the H2OBX Waterpark wastewater system based on a cursory review of available information and projected design flows. Please note that the above position is based on a preliminary review of the H2OBX Waterpark's operational status for the wastewater system. A final determination regarding the feasibility of directing flow from the subject project to the subject receiving facility would not be made until review of a sewer extension permit application package is performed. All conditions and requirements for issuance of a sewer system extension permit must be satisfied to enable approval of such permit. No part of a sewer collection system shall be constructed without first obtaining required permits. This letter does not commit or obligate H2OBX, LLC to provide sewer service for the subject project, nor does it obligate the Division of Water Resources to issue related sewer system permits for the project. Please note that the Division of Water Resources has not reviewed the layout and design of the RV Park itself to ensure conformity with 15A NCAC 2T set -back requirements to the high -rate infiltration system and WWTP structures and components. Please ensure the overall RV Park layout does not conflict with set -back requirements related to the facility's wastewater system and permit. A copy of the H2OBX Waterpark's wastewater system permit is attached for reference. D � North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources NORrH awouw.
