Subject: Permit No. WQ0023580
Cove Key Townhomes on Lake
Norman
Non -Conjunctive Reclaimed Water
System
Iredell County
In accordance with yo5ur minor permit modification request received October 29, 2009, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0023580, dated December 18, 2009, to Cove Key Home Owners
Association for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and non -conjunctive
reclaimed water facilities.
The permit modifications are as follows:
Condition I.I. requires that equipment for continuous recording of flow and turbidity
measurements be installed within ninety (90) days of permit issuance.
Conditions 111.3, and 111.4, establish the ORC visitation frequency at 3 X Week for the wastewater
treatment facility and 1 X Week for the reclaimed water irrigation system. The Permittee may
request a further reduction in visitation frequency for the wastewater treatment facility to 2 X
Week after at least one year of operation at the newly established 3 X Week frequency. This
reduced visitation frequency is contingent upon proper operation of the permitted facilities. The
Division reserves the right to re-evaluate the visitation frequency and modify the permit as
necessary in the event of non-compliance or operational problems. Please note that this
reduced visitation frequency shall not commence until such time as the flow and turbidity
recording equipment his been installed and is operational in accordance with permit
Condition I.I. Prior to satisfying the requirements of Condition 1.1., the current visitation
frequency of 5 X Week shall continue.
Condition IIIS. requires that telemetry equipment capable of providing notification 24 hours per
day and 7 days per week to the ORC in the event of a turbidity exceedence or ultraviolet
disinfection system malfunction be maintained in working order at all times.

3, The ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System
will be maintained out of the common expenses. 1n order to assure that there shall be funds readily
available to repair, maintain, or construct the Disposal System beyond the routine operation and
maintenance expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of
the common expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance fund allocated for the
facility and shall be part of the yearly budget.
4. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund(s) are not adequate for the construction,

If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become
available to serve the Development, the ASSOCIATION shall take such action as is necessary to cause the
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said govemmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
6. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the ASSOCIATION to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the ASSOCIATION shall
provide in the ASSOCIATION Bylaws that the ASSOCIATION shall not enter into voluntary dissolution
without first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity
acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.

for the operation and maintenance of its Disposal System until a permit has been reissued to the

The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above shall be conditions of any
permit issued by the COMMISSION to the ASSOCIATION for the construction, maintenance, repair and
operation of the Disposal System.
9. A copy of this agreement shall be filed at the Register of Deeds in the County(ies) where the Declaration
is filed and in the offices of the Secretary of State of North Carolina with the Articles of Incorporation of
