Dear Mr. Bradley:
In accordance with the permit modification application package received on February 17, 2004
for review under the Division of Water Quality's (Division) express review program as well as the
additional information received on February 23, 2004; March 16, 2004; April 6, 2004; and July 27, 2004;
we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0000088, dated August 2, 2004, to the Governors Club
Limited Partnership for the construction and continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and
reclaimed water utilization facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 2009; shall void Permit No.
WQ0000088, issued on July 30, 2004; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal application is due to
the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI.
8.), as the Division does not send reminders to you to apply for permit renewal.
This permit is being modified to approve the construction and operation of another irrigation
pond for the storage of reclaimed water, approximately 40.52 acres of additional area suitable for
irrigation of reclaimed water, and other miscellaneous appurtenances.
Please take the time to review this permit thoroughly as many of the conditions contained
therein have been added, substantially changed, or deleted since this permit was last issued. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems. Note that Condition I. 1. contains a compliance schedule of activities to be completed by you
in accordance with a September 4, 2003 agreement between you, Governors Club, Inc., and the
Governors Club Property Owners Association, Inc. Although the Division has incorporated the terms of
this agreement into this permit and has made them, therefore, enforceable conditions thereof, this action
does not constitute an acceptance by the Division of the improvements to which the parties have agreed.
_Finally, be aware that construction of the modified reclaimed water utilization facilities should not
be initiated until the Permittee has received the required soil erosion and sedimentation control
plan approvals as well as any required dam safety approvals (i.e., see Condition V1. 6.).

f In order to ensure that the ORC, back-up ORC, or other on -duty operator has sufficient
time to conduct manual operation of valves needed to prevent wastewater effluent not
meeting the reclaimed water quality standards from being conveyed to the irrigation pond
of the reclaimed water facilities, the set -point on the turbidimeter that will trigger an
alarm situation and initiate the telemetry system shall not be less than 6.0.
7. Normal operation of the wastewater treatment facilities involves conveyance of reclaimed
water from the facilities to the five-day detention pond before being further conveyed to one
of the irrigation ponds of the reclaimed water utilization facilities. During periods of normal
operation, the level of reclaimed water in the five-day detention pond shall be kept low
enough such that 862,500 gallons of effective storage volume shall be maintained at all times.
In the event that the wastewater treatment facilities develop an upset condition (i.e., cannot
meet the reclaimed water quality criteria in Condition II. 6.), the ORC, back-up ORC, or
other on -duty operator shall terminate transfer of reclaimed water/wastewater effluent from
the five-day detention pond to the irrigation ponds, and all wastewater effluent shall be
conveyed directly to the five-day detention pond. Once the upset condition has been
resolved, reclaimed water shall be conveyed directly from the wastewater treatment facilities
to the irrigation ponds. Wastewater effluent stored in the five-day detention pond shall be
conveyed to the headworks of the wastewater treatment for re -treatment. Only after all
wastewater effluent that is stored in the five-day detention pond is successfully re -treated and
meets the reclaimed water quality criteria in Condition II. 6. shall normal operating
procedures be resumed.
Freeboard in the five-day detention pond and the irrigation ponds of the reclaimed water
utilization facilities shall not be less than two feet at any time. The freeboard levels in each
of the referenced ponds shall be monitored by an individual level gauge that has readily
visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary
liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage
volume, and top of the dam elevation. Freeboard levels in each of the referenced ponds shall
be monitored, recorded, and reported on Form NDAR-1 every day that irrigation activities
occur and not less than weekly otherwise.
9. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on the embankments of the
five-day detention pond and the irrigation ponds of the reclaimed water utilization facilities
(i.e., outside toe of embankment to maximum liquid level), berms, pipe runs, erosion control
areas, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be
allowed to grow on pond dikes or embankments. The pond embankment areas shall be kept
mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible.

10. The application rates onto the wetted areas of the reclaimed water utilization facilities (i.e. for
both reclaimed water and fresh or potable water) shall not exceed any of the following:

b The field wetted areas presented in the above -referenced table are based upon proper
operation of all sprinkler heads within the particular field. Under normal operation,
application activities shall be reported on Form NDAR-I utilizing these wetted area
values. Any deviation in these wetted area values due to occurrences such as sprinkler
heads that have malfunctioned or have been deliberately turned off to avoid ponding,
runoff of the applied reclaimed water, etc. or the fact that sprinkler heads within a
particular field not being operated for equal lengths of time shall be reflected on Form
NDAR-1 such that the reported application rates are representative of the actual
operation. A sheet demonstrating how the wetted area value for any field was calculated
and indicating to which irrigation days the temporarily modified wetted area value is
applicable shall be attached with Form NDAR-1 as needed.
The cumulative application rate shall be equivalent to the loading of reclaimed water over
the previous 12 months (i.e., 12 -month floating total).
d Each field shall be closely monitored during any irrigation event. Should the applied
reclaimed water be observed to accumulate on the ground surface, the application rates
shall be reduced or irrigation shall be ceased accordingly.
If two values for a field wetted area are listed, the first value represents current conditions
of that particular field and the second number represents the wetted area that will result
when all abandonment and construction is complete. The Permittee shall take care to use
the proper wetted area value when planning and reporting application rates.
f If two values for a field application are listed, the first value represents current
requirements for that particular field and the second number represents the maximum
allowable cumulative application rate that will result when all abandonment and
construction is complete.
