Sullins Governor Director May 12, 2009 George Radford, Director Plantation Harbor Property Owner's Association, Inc. 200 Antebellum Drive Havelock, North Carolina 28532 Dear Mr. Radford: Dee Freeman Secretary Subject: Permit No. WQ0000819 Plantation Harbor Wastewater Irrigation System Craven County In accordance with your permit modification and renewal request received January 29, 2009 and April 1, 2009 respectively we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0000819, dated May 12, 2009, to Plantation Harbor Property Owner's Association, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities. The modification of the permit increases the permitted flow from 24,554 gallons per day to 79,710 gallons per day. In order to accommodate this increased flow additional irrigation sites were defined. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2014, shall void Permit No. WQ0000819 issued October 14, 2004, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please 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. Please note that since the last permit issuance, the Division has instituted a new monitoring policy for all non -discharge systems and created a new permit shell. Please pay careful attention to the monitoring frequencies and parameters listed in Attachment A, as they may differ from the requirements and frequencies in the last permit issuance. Specifically, in Attachment A the monitoring frequencies for the wastewater effluent have been increased from three times per year to four times per year. Samples shall be collected in March, June, September and November. Your request for an adjusted daily sewage rate of 80 gallons per day per bedroom (GPD/br) has been approved based on the review information you submitted in your application packet and regional office comments. Please be aware if the monthly average flow is within twenty (20) percent of the permitted flow or 63,768 gallons per day, the Permittee shall re-evaluate the approved value. This will be done by using the methodology used to determine the approved flow rate of 80 gpdpb and submitting this information within eighteen months of renewal.

WQ0000819 Version 3.0 Shell Version 090415 Page 6 of 8 3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site or facility at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit, and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate. VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.6A to 143-215.6C. 2. This permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data. 3. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. No variances to applicable rules governing the construction and / or operation of the permitted facilities are granted unless specifically requested and granted in this permit. 4. The Division accepts the data -based design flow rate of 80 gallons per day per bedroom (gpdpb) for the community served by this system. Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the limits defined in this permit for the subject facility or exceed the capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s). The Permittee shall report the actual (measured) monthly average amount of wastewater flow contributed per unit (GPD/br) for the 12 months prior to renewal. If any of these values are within 63,768 gpdpb, the Permittee shall re-evaluate the approved value using the methodology used to determine the approved flow rate of 80 gpdpb and submit this information within eighteen months of renewal. The Division may change the design flow rate for connections to the system at that time, and upon each renewal cycle, pending an evaluation of the submitted flow information. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state, and federal) that have jurisdiction. Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules in 15A NCAC 02B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 02B .0200 and 02H .0500. 6. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division on official Division form(s), documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for compliance until a permit is issued to the new owner. 7. The Permittee shall retain a set of approved plans and specifications for the life of the facilities permitted herein. The Permittee shall maintain this permit until all permitted facilities herein are properly closed or permitted under another permit issued by the appropriate permitting authority. WQ0000819 Version 3.0 Shell Version 090415 Page 7 of 8 9.
