OF NORTH CAROLINA POST OFFICE BOX 240908 CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA 28224-0908 Dear Mr. Lashua: ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director Subject: Permit No, WQ001664 Belvedere Plantation WWTF High -Rate Infiltration and Conjunctive Reclaimed Water Utilization System Pender County In accordance with your permit minor modification request received December 7, 2015, and subsequent additional information received February 11, 2016, May 16, 2016, and November 22, 2016, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0001664 dated February 14, 2017, to Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment, high -rate infiltration, and conjunctive reclaimed water utilization facilities. The modifications to the subject permit are as follows: ♦ Permit Condition III.13 has been removed to eliminate the requirement for maintaining a year round vegetative cover (winter overseeding) at the Belvedere Golf Course. With the treatment plant and high -rate irrigation system improvements now operational, the Permittee will be utilizing the new high -rate infiltration system as the primary disposal method and golf course irrigation only as a backup disposal alternative. The enhanced treatment of the wastewater stream coupled with infrequent golf course irrigation eliminates the need for maintaining a year round vegetative cover. ♦ Attachment A has been modified to combine the two different spray irrigation application rates (twelve-month application rates of 96.7 inches and 32.2 inches) at the Belvedere Golf Course into a single application rate (maximum cumulative loading rate over any twelve month period) of 32.2 inches for the irrigation of all golf course fairways. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2020, shall void Permit No. WQ0001664 issued February 9, 2015, and shall be subject to the conditions, and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A, B and C for they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems. 'Nothing Compares --.

Lashua February 14, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit issuance dated February 9, 2015: ➢ Old Conditions I.1., I.2., I.3., I.4, I.5., I.6.,1.7., I.8., and N.13. — These have been removed as construction has been completed and the facilities are in operation. ➢ Old Condition 1I.4. — This condition has been removed because it is not applicable to the subject facility. ➢ Old Condition I11.13. — Has been removed to eliminate the requirement to maintain a year- round vegetative cover. ➢ Old Condition in Attachment A footnotes requiring two different application (loading) rates for the conjunctive reclaimed water utilization site — Since the golf course is now entirely conjunctive irrigation, the application rate has been removed from the permit. If any parts, requirements or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request shall 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 at 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
