Skvarla, III Secretary Subject: Permit No. WQ0004823 Pine Island / Currituck Club High -Rate Infiltration & Reclaimed Water System Currituck County In accordance with your permit renewal request received August 15, 2013, and draft permit comments received December 19, 2013, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0004823 dated December 23, 2013, to Pine Island-Currituck, LLC for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment, high -rate infiltration and reclaimed water facilities. Please note that this renewed permit shall become effective on March 1, 2014 (i.e. the day after the expiration date of the existing permit), which differs from the date of this letter. Modifications to the subject pen -nit are as follows: Effluent monitoring frequency has been set to weekly for core effluent quality parameters during the summer season and twice per month during all other months and is based on actual flows instead of the permitted flow of 600,000 GPD- Other parameter frequencies remain unchanged. Residual chlorine monitoring has been removed as UV disinfection is employed; Parameter WQO1, Reclaimed water flow distributed, has been added to track the amount of reclaimed water sent to the reclaimed water storage pond. Also note that the arnount of reclaimed water actually irrigated at the golf course must be tracked per Condition IV.6; Groundwater monitoring is now required only at MW-1, MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5 once (annually) and all other active monitoring wells shall be abandoned as per Condition 1. 1; This permit shall be effective from March 1, 2014 until February 28, 2019 and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein- .Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements now listed in Attachments A, B and C (instead of the permit text in previous permit), Failure to establish an adequate, system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.

Annual monitoring shall be conducted in November. 2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. 3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum. 41. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods: a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief Any metliod used must meet the following qualifications: EL A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used. b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table V111 of Standard Method 6230D. c. The inethod used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by DWR. Any constituents detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 µg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported. 5, if any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office supervisor must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required. 6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location Information provided in this attachment.
