storage, and distribution facilities for the purpose of supplying a reclaimed water demand not to exceed a monthly
average of 100,000 gallons per day (GPD) to commercial, industrial, and institutional users. The Apex Reclaimed
Water Program shall consist of:
the reclaimed water treatment and storage facilities at the Middle Creek Water Reclamation Facility consisting of
the following components: a continuous turbidity monitoring and recording device at the existing sulfur building,
a tablet chlorinator with solution tank and hypochlorite feed system, an effluent transfer pump station consisting
of two (2) 350 gallon per minute (GPM) pumps operating at 25 feet total dynamic head (TDM with audible and
visual high water alarms, onsite standby generator, a flow meter, a 100,000 gallon reclaimed water storage tank
and all meters, valves, fittings, piping, instrumentation/control systems, electrical items and other related
appurtenances required to make a complete and operational reclaimed water treatment and storage system,
the reclaimed distribution facilities .consisting of the following components: a high service pump station
consisting of two (2) 625 GPM pumps operating at 260 feet TDH with audible and visual high water alarms, a
flow meter, approximately 9,626 linear feet of eight -inch diameter reclaimed water force main, a 100,000 gallon
elevated reclaimed water storage tank and all meters, valves, fittings, piping, instrumentationicontrol systems,
electrical items and other related appurtenances required to .make a complete and operational reclaimed water
distribution and offshe storage system,
and a bulk reclaimed water distribution program and all associated facilities at the Middle Creek Water
Reclamation Facility (NPDES Permit No. NC0064050). Bulk reclaimed water, following treatment and testing
according to the water reclamation facility's existing NPDES permit and the conditions provided herein, may be
manually distributed from an eight -inch quick connect male coupling and gate valve tapped onto a proposed
eight -inch reclaimed water line that serves the water reclamation facility. All reclaimed water distributed must be
measured and recorded by a flaw -metering device. Bulk reclaimed water may only be distributed to approved
trucks and drivers for the following uses: sewer line flushing, street sweeping, irrigation of landscapes not
intended for human consumption, and construction uses such as soil compaction, dust control, and asphalt
reclamation.

The Apex Reclaimed Water Program shall be operated such that no discharge of wastes to surface waters
occurs, pursuant to the application received September 23, 2002 and in conformity with the project plans,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2008, shall void Permit No.
