Ross Jr., Secretary Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director August 6, 2001 MR. COLTON CARAWAN, PROPERTY MANAGER A PLACE AT THE BEACH -ATLANTIC BEACH, INC. POST OFFICE Box 818 ATLANTIC BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA 28512 IMWA IT1 � • 1 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: Permit No. WQ0018992 A Place at the Beach - Atlantic Beach, Inc. Southwinds Condominiums Wastewater Disposal System Replacement Wastewater Treatment and Nan -Discharge Disposal Facilities Carteret County Dear Mr. Carawan: In accordance with your application received on September 1, 2000 as well as the additional information received on March 1, 2001; April 5, 2001; June 20, 2001; and July 17, 2001; we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ00018992, dated August 6, 2001, to A Place at the Beach - Atlantic Beach, Inc. for the construction and continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 2006 and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. The Division of Water Quality (Division) understands that A Place at the Beach - Atlantic Beach, Inc. also operates locally under the name of "Southwinds." Although it was originally desired to issue this permit under both the formal corporation name as well as this operational name, no "d/b/a certificate" could be found by the Permittee's counsel to be on file with Carteret County. Therefore, once such "d/b/a certificate" has been properly executed and filed, the Permittee may formally apply to the Division to have this permit reissued in both names (i.e., see Condition V1. 3. of the permit for additional information). Note that there are several special conditions contained in this permit with which you must comply. Therefore, please take time to review this document thoroughly. Failure to comply with the conditions of this permit or to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational and monitoring data will result in future compliance problems. Of special interest is Condition 1. 6., which requires the replacement of the existing tertiary filtration unit with a new unit of modern design within 18 months of this permit's issuance. The Permittee had initially concurred to replace the unit within a one-year period; however, on July 17, 2001, a request to extend this timeframe to three years was received by the Division. This replacement has been a requirement for several years in Permit No. VI-08-96, issued by the Environmental Health Division of the Carteret County Health Department with which the Permittee, to date, has failed to comply. For this reason, the fact that there is only monthly total suspended solids data available for the Division's review, and to ensure the integrity of the new non -discharge disposal facilities, the Division believes that an 18-month compliance period is not only generous, but also needed. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919) 715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Also, be aware that a portion of the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities are located in an area that may be impacted by a 100-year flood or other severe storm event. For this reason, the Division highly recommends that A Place at the Beach - Atlantic Beach, Inc. take steps to initiate and maintain a fund to help finance any repairs to or replacements of the facilities should damage from such events occur. It is furthermore recommended by the Division that, since Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) duties are contracted out to a private company not associated with the Permittee, a telemetry system be installed at the facilities to alert the ORC that potential problems exist in as expeditious a fashion as possible. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request must 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such, demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding. One set of the approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Shannon Mohr Thorrourg at (919) 733-5083, extension 353. Since y Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. cc: Stroud Engineering, P.A.

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 2006 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 1. Construction of the non -discharge disposal facilities shall not proceed until the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) approvals/permits have been applied for and secured. In addition, construction of the non -discharge disposal facilities shall not proceed until it is verified that existing utilities and appurtenances (e.g., sanitary sewer service lines, potable water lines, pool backwash discharge lines, etc.) will not conflict with the facilities during installation or their subsequent operation. If such a conflict is discovered, it shall be corrected immediately. The certification from the North Carolina -licensed professional engineer required in Condition 1. 3. shall serve as proof of compliance with this condition. 2. Construction of the non -discharge disposal facilities shall be scheduled so as not to interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater and/or wastewater effluent to surface waters of the State. 3. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the non -discharge disposal facilities, a certification shall be received from a North Carolina-Iicensed professional engineer certifying that the facilities have been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting materials. If the facilities are to be constructed in phases and partially certified, the Permittee shall retain the responsibility to track further construction approved under the same permit and shall provide a final certificate of completion once construction of all of the facilities have been completed. Mail one copy of any partial and final certifications to the NCDENR-DWQ, Water Quality Section, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. 2 4. The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality (Division), telephone number (910) 395-3900, shall be notified at least 48 hours in advance of operation of the installed non -discharge disposal facilities so that an in -place inspection can be made. Such notification to the Regional Water Quality Supervisor shall be made during normal office hours (i.e., 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.). on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. Within 30 days of completing construction and beginning operation of the non -discharge disposal facilities, the Permittee shall formally request a rescission of Permit No. VI-08-96, originally issued on August 29, 1992 and reissued on August 9, 1996, from the Environmental Health Division of the Carteret County Health Department. The rescission request and acknowledgement letters shall be submitted to the Division within 30 days of the latter correspondence's receipt. Mail one copy of both letters to NCDENR-DWQ, Water Quality Section, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. Since the permit issued by the Environmental Health Division of the Carteret County Health Department approved operation of a wastewater collection system to serve A Place at the Beach - Atlantic Beach, Inc., this permit's rescission will necessitate that a wastewater collection system extension permit to be issued by the Division's Non -Discharge Permitting Unit. Therefore, also within 30 days of completing construction and beginning operation of the non - discharge disposal facilities, the Permittee shall apply for and secure a wastewater collection system extension permit to approve the continued operation of these facilities. 6. Within 180 days of this permit's issuance, the Permittee shall formally adopt amended bylaws and a declaration of unit ownership and have these documents recorded with the Carteret County Registrar of Deeds. The bylaws and declaration of unit shall be amended such that these reflect the terms of the Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management Commission that is required by Condition VI. 5. Specifically, the bylaws and declaration of unit ownership shall be amended to include the following minimum provisions: a. The wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities shall be properly maintained and operated in conformity with law and the provisions of any per issued for construction, operation, repair, and maintenance. b. The wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities shall be a common element that shall receive the highest priority for expenditures except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance. c. The wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities shall be maintained out of the common expenses. d. A fund, separate from the routine maintenance fund allocated for the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities, shall be created out of the common expenses and shall be part of the yearly budget... The purpose of this separate fund shall be to ensure that there will be funds readily available to repair, maintain, or construct facilities beyond routine operation and maintenance expenses. e. Special assessments to cover costs necessary in the case that the common expense allocation and special fund are not adequate for the construction, repair, and maintenance of the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities shall be allowed. f. The Permittee shall not enter into a voluntary dissolution without first having transferred the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities to some person, corporation, or other entity acceptable to and approved by the Division by the issuance of a permit. A copy of the amended bylaws and declaration of unit ownership shall be submitted to the NCDENR- DWQ, Water Quality Section, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 within 30 days after their implementation.. The Division retains the right to request a rewrite of the referenced bylaws and declaration of unit ownership, if upon review, the language contained therein does not adequately meet the intent of this permit condition. 7. Within 540 days of the this permit's issuance, the Permittee shall replace the existing tertiary filters associated with the wastewater treatment facilities with a new tertiary filtration unit of modern design and capable of an automatically -activated backwash operation that is assisted by air scour. Note that prior submittal and approval of a formal modification to this permit shall be required before this replacement may be initiated. Therefore, the Permittee shall be responsible for securing design documents, submitting a formal permit modification application package to the Division for approval, and ensuring proper construction of the new unit within the stipulated 18-month timeframc. The wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater that will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate the reclaimed water, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities. 9. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to assimilate the wastewater effluent adequately and may be rescinded unless all of the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner that will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and groundwater. Ponding of wastewater effluent on the land surface when the dosing cycle commences shall be considered evidence that the soils are failing to assimilate the wastewater effluent adequately. Such failure shall be interpreted as a violation of this permit condition. 10. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of the wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities. 11. Diversion or bypassing of untreated or treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment and/or the non -discharge disposal facilities shall be strictly prohibited. 12.
