DBIA certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

Pump Station(Name or Number): Given that: a. The proportion and amount of Obligated,Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow(C)accounts for 41 %and .2577 MGD of the Available Capacity(E) in Pump Station Halls Creek ; and that b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately .0254 MGD per year; and that c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely Hwy 24 Utility Corridor Project 18" FM and is in design or under construction with is in design or under construction with pump stations planned completion in 2026 ; and/or d. The following applies: See attached Narrative for ONWASA plant status and current Capital Projects Therefore: Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over-allocating capacity in the system infrastructure. I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143- 215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste disposal system. /0.23.2d9 Sign' i Sig re Mule Page 3 of 9 FTSE1 10-23 WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM EXPANSIONS-ADVANCING ALLOCATION Complete this form (items#1-8)and submit applicable supporting documentation ONLY IF the proposed project is subject to advancing allowances outlined per G.S. 143-215.1(f5).

This facility utilizes a conventional activated sludge treatment process and high-rate infiltration basins for effluent disposal, with a permitted capacity of 0.600 MGD. Treatment equipment includes an aerated equalization basin and headworks with automatic bar screen and grit removal system rated at 1.5 MGD; two 300,000-gallon capacity oxidation ditches with aeration rotor assemblies; three secondary clarifiers; two rotating cloth disk filters with automatic backwash; and an ultraviolet light post-treatment disinfection system with a sodium hypochlorite back-up. Treated effluent is then sent via an on-site pumping station and force main to one of four high-rate infiltration basins (totaling 15.24 acres) that are located six miles west of the plant on Parkertown Road. Waste sludge from the treatment process is sent to a 46,900-gallon aerated sludge digester and 315,000-gallon aerated sludge holding tank for further treatment and eventual land application for disposal. General Information Permit Number: WQ0023261 Permit Type: High-Rate Infiltration System Facility Type: Activated Sludge with Extended Air Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC): Mark Young Contact Phone: (910) 937-7539 Performance During 2023 Permitted Capacity: 0.600 MGD Average Daily Flow Treated: 0.424 MGD Percent of Permitted Capacity: 71.0% Maximum Daily Flow Treated: 0.731 MGD (September 23rd) Total Gallons Treated: 154,687,220 gallons. Percent Change from 2022: +27.3% Comments An environmental engineering firm under contract with ONWASA completed work on a Capacity Evaluation Study of this facility. A copy of this document is available for review at the ONWASA Central Office, 228 Georgetown Road, Jacksonville, NC. This study included an assessment of existing conditions at the plant, projections of future population growth and sewer demand in the service area, and the development of alternatives to address that future demand. These included the construction of a replacement treatment facility, expansion of the existing plant, and the sending of all flow to a third party(the French Creek WWTP aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune) for treatment/disposal. In December 2019, the ONWASA Board of Directors reviewed the alternatives presented and directed the engineering firm to conduct additional analysis on capital and operating expenses for Page 12 of 16 selected alternatives before making a final recommendation on how to proceed. In 2020, An agreement was made with Camp Lejeune to receive sewer flow from the Swansboro area. The project is currently in the Bidding Phase, utilizing two separate contracts. Contract 1 will construct the 18" and 16" Wastewater Force Main and Contract 2 will construct the four Wastewater Pump Stations, contract award for both contracts is anticipated for September 2024. In the interim of the construction being completed for Contract 1 and 2, improvements to the Swansboro WWTP are being considered such as adding EOPs or additional Infiltration Basins to accommodate the incremental flows anticipated due to growth in the sewer shed.
